The silver spear erupted with terrifying power in an instant. Mar couldn’t control it for a moment as the long spear pierced through his fists and then plunged fiercely into Mar’s chest.
Liu Yize’s face revealed a hint of a cold smile.
However, when Mar’s chest was penetrated, there was no trace of pain on his face. Instead, it showed a twisted smile.
"Not good!" Liu Yize suddenly had a bad premonition.
In the next moment, Mar transformed into a mist of blood and then into countless eerie snake shadows.
These snake shadows quickly covered Liu Yize’s body, following along his silver spear arm and legs.
The silver spear fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
The many snake shadows above Liu Yize’s head dispersed, then reformed into Mar’s face above him.
"Young City Lord, will you concede?" Mar inquired towards Liu Yize.
"You... what kind of technique is this? So bizarre?" Liu Yize was rather unwilling, but he was now in a state of complete disadvantage.
The outcome had been decided!
"How could I not win against the Young City Lord without something bizarre?" Mar said with a smile.
"I concede!" In the end, Liu Yize had to admit defeat.
As soon as he uttered the words of surrender, the snake shadows rapidly receded and gathered not far away to reveal Mar’s figure.
"I thank you for the concession," Mar politely bowed with courtesy.
Applause and cheers rang out enthusiastically.
Of course, there were also some boos.
After all, Liu Yize lost to a barbarian, so naturally, some were dissatisfied.
"Not bad, knowing how to hide your strength and seizing the chance for a lethal strike. This elixir is yours."
As Mu Chengqian spoke, a Spirit Flood Pill floating in mid-air shot downwards, finally landing in Mar’s palm.
"Mar thanks His Majesty the Emperor!" Mar immediately knelt on one knee, offering his utmost respect.
Then Mar promptly left the stage and returned to his seat.
Holding the Spirit Flood Pill in his hand, a smile appeared on his face. Clearly, he was very satisfied with the attributes of this Spirit Flood Pill.
Subsequently, many Heavenly Pride took the stage one after another to fight.
The sight of it made one’s blood boil; if not for a lack of strength, one would wish to join the fight themselves.
Moreover, quite a few Contractors also fought, of course, all being Contractors under the age of forty.
As for Tian Youdao and Han Chen, their ages were quite advanced, so naturally, they weren’t considered among the Heavenly Pride.
For these Contractors, there was really no pressure in appearing on stage.
After all, the Spirit Flood Pill is a good thing; winning means you get one, and losing doesn’t result in much trouble, because after all, this is a birthday event where no lives would be lost.
However, all those fighting so far are merely Level 7 Refining Acupoints Realm Heavenly Pride.
Not a single Level 8 Soul Refining Realm Heavenly Pride had appeared yet.
Even the Eldest Prince, Fourth Prince, and Seventh Princess had gone onstage and achieved victories.
Remarkably, among the princes of the Da Li Dynasty, none have reached Level 8 Soul Refining Realm.
This fact was somewhat regrettable.
However, to be fair, there are not many who have reached Level 8 Soul Refining Realm.
Excluding the Contractors, Jian Yifeng counts as one, and Jiao Ze counts as another — this is all Mu Rufeng knows.
Whether there are any hidden ones is unknown.
As for Contractors, Mu Rufeng doesn’t know many. Ye Lin counts as one, and Jiang Caiwei counts as another.
As for Xu Lian, his age has surpassed forty, so he’s not included.
Jason Morgan also exceeds forty years old.
There are not many Level 8 Ghost Kings in the real world; altogether, they do not exceed thirty people.
Among these, those under forty are no more than ten.
"I am Meichuan Neiku from Huoye Village, in the early stage of Soul Refining. I wish to challenge Jian Yifeng of the Heaven Sword Sect."
A Contractor from a small island suddenly appeared in the arena, then loudly challenged Jian Yifeng from the guest seats.
Meichuan Neiku... Meichuan Neiku, isn’t he the assistant to that Inoue Sae from the island nation, whom Mu Rufeng killed?
He remembered this guy was previously a Level 7 Ghost General, but didn’t expect he had already reached Level 8 Soul Refining Realm.
Instantly, the scene became an uproar.
Soul Refining Realm, actually Soul Refining Realm.
Huoye Village, they knew, was a small island nation wiped out by the previous dynasty.
Those who survived established Huoye Village in a dangerous place, where the leader is not called the village head but the Fire Shadow.
The cultivation level of the Fire Shadow is God Realm, and within Huoye Village, there is also a Godless Divine Sovereign Realm existence.
Who is Meichuan Neiku? A Soul Refining expert under forty? That’s quite astonishing.
"Are you sure you want to challenge me?" Jian Yifeng looked at Meichuan Neiku and slowly asked.
"Yes," Meichuan Neiku replied solemnly.
"Choose someone else, you are no match for me." Jian Yifeng shook his head and said.
"Heh, is the top disciple of Heaven Sword Sect afraid? Afraid to lose to me? So you don’t dare to accept the challenge?" Meichuan Neiku sneered.
"Arrogant! How dare a frog at the bottom of a well from little Huoye Village act so presumptuously!" exclaimed a female disciple beside Jian Yifeng, immediately standing up to rebuke.
Meichuan Neiku said, "What? Jian Yifeng, are you letting a woman defend you? If you dare not, then concede."
"Since you are so eager to fight with me, then I accept."
Jian Yifeng slowly stood up and then, with a light step, agilely leapt onto the arena.
