The moment the match began, Wu Feng immediately completed her martial soul possession. Fiery red scales spread across her body as she rushed toward Bai Chen.
At the same time, Bai Chen also completed his martial soul possession.
His hair turned a dazzling shade of gold, and his physique instantly grew noticeably larger and more powerful.
Seeing this, Ning Jingchen turned thoughtfully to the elder beside him and asked:
"Elder Hua, what do you think of his martial soul?"
Not every martial soul could awaken with innate full soul power, but if someone did awaken with full innate soul power, it meant their martial soul was certainly not ordinary.
Since Ning Jingchen couldn't recognize Bai Chen's martial soul, the outcome of this battle still seemed uncertain in his eyes.
However, the elder called Hua shook his head.
"I don't recognize this martial soul either. It's very likely some kind of mutated martial soul. But there's one thing I can be certain of."
He said firmly:
"That girl Wu Feng has already lost."
"Oh?"
Ning Jingchen raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.
"Interesting. Then let's watch and see."
The man sitting beside him, Hua Tianyu, was currently the strongest expert in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect—a Level 94 Titled Douluo, only one step away from becoming a Super Douluo.
He was normally someone who spoke cautiously and never said things too absolutely.
For him to speak so decisively showed just how highly he regarded Bai Chen.
While the two were talking, Wu Feng had already rushed in front of Bai Chen.
She raised her right hand covered in dragon scales and threw a full-power punch toward Bai Chen's chest.
During the entire time she charged forward, Bai Chen hadn't moved a single step.
He stood there like a challenger calmly accepting an attack, which only made Wu Feng even more irritated.
She circulated her soul power, causing a scorching aura to radiate from her body.
Her cultivation was still too low for real flames to appear on her attacks, but using soul power to heat her strike was still possible.
Facing her full-powered punch, Bai Chen's response was astonishingly simple.
He didn't even bother defending.
He simply allowed Wu Feng's fist to land directly on his chest.
Bang!
A dull impact rang out.
Bai Chen didn't retreat even a single step. He looked at Wu Feng expressionlessly and slowly tilted his head.
The muscles on Wu Feng's face twitched.
Bai Chen's body after martial soul possession was unbelievably tough. Although she was the one attacking, it felt as if she had just punched a steel plate.
But compared to the pain in her hand, the psychological shock was even greater.
"You bastard!"
Humiliated and furious, Wu Feng lost her composure and roared angrily as she swung her fist again toward Bai Chen.
Bai Chen sighed quietly.
She's already this aggressive at such a young age…
But earlier he had only been testing his defensive strength. This time he had no intention of letting Wu Feng keep hitting him.
He raised his hand and effortlessly caught her incoming left fist.
"Let go… let go!"
Wu Feng felt a terrifying grip crushing her fist. She was still young, and under the intense pain tears began spilling from her eyes uncontrollably.
Bai Chen expressionlessly increased the pressure.
Only when Wu Feng's expression slowly changed from rage to fear did he suddenly kick out.
His kick sent her flying several meters away.
Wu Feng crashed heavily onto the ground and instantly lost consciousness.
Watching the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's healing-type soul master rush onto the arena to treat Wu Feng, Bai Chen shook his head helplessly.
He had miscalculated.
Fighting Wu Feng simply couldn't give him the thrill of a true soul master battle.
The combined suppression of level difference and martial soul superiority meant fighting her was barely different from fighting an ordinary person.
He hadn't even activated his domain yet, and the battle was already completely one-sided.
"Your martial soul is very interesting."
At that moment, an aged voice sounded beside him.
Turning his head, Bai Chen saw that Hua Tianyu had somehow appeared next to him.
Hua Tianyu pointed at himself.
"Come. Punch me."
Bai Chen raised an eyebrow but didn't hesitate.
He immediately threw a punch toward Hua Tianyu.
After all, Hua Tianyu was a Titled Douluo. Even though the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was powerful, it couldn't allow a mere Soul Scholar to defeat a Titled Douluo.
Bang!
A dull impact sounded again.
The scene that had just happened between Wu Feng and Bai Chen was repeated—except this time Bai Chen was the one delivering the punch.
Hua Tianyu nodded thoughtfully.
"Level ten strength that already rivals a strength-type Great Soul Master. Truly promising talent."
In the previous battle, Bai Chen had already displayed astonishing strength.
Wu Feng, as a Red Dragon soul master, possessed more than just control over the fire element. Her martial soul also granted her physical strength superior to ordinary soul masters.
Yet Bai Chen had completely crushed her in terms of strength.
That was why Hua Tianyu personally stepped in—to test Bai Chen's power for himself.
As expected, Bai Chen's strength was astonishing.
Even though Bai Chen had already reached Level 10, without obtaining his first soul ring he was still technically just a Soul Scholar, not yet a true soul master.
Compared to a Great Soul Master, he lacked not only soul power but also the enhancement from two hundred-year soul rings.
And yet Bai Chen already possessed strength comparable to a strength-type Great Soul Master.
Normally such strength would only appear in martial souls that sacrificed everything else to focus purely on physical power.
But in the previous fight, Bai Chen had also demonstrated remarkable defensive ability.
A super martial soul.
Although Hua Tianyu still didn't know the exact identity of Bai Chen's martial soul, he was already certain of one thing.
This martial soul was absolutely comparable to the Ultimate-tier martial souls.
Just as Hua Tianyu finished reaching his conclusion, Bai Chen suddenly spoke:
"Elder, I can still increase my strength."
"Oh?"
Surprise flashed in Hua Tianyu's eyes.
He smiled and pointed at himself again.
"Then increase it and punch me once more."
"Yes."
Bai Chen steadied himself where he stood.
A golden-black halo slowly rose beneath his feet, faint golden light flowing into his body.
"—!"
Hua Tianyu's eyes widened in disbelief.
A domain-type soul skill?!
Normally, only 100,000-year soul rings could produce domain-type abilities.
But Bai Chen didn't even have a single soul ring yet.
There was only one explanation.
This domain ability was innate to his martial soul.
And that was exactly the case.
Just as the Blue Silver Emperor possessed the Blue Silver Domain, and the Six-Winged Angel possessed the Angel Domain…
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff also possessed its own innate domain.
Its name was Dominion (Xiongba).
Within the Dominion Domain, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff—or its wielder—would experience a massive increase in strength and defense, become immune to pain, and all of their abilities would be amplified by more than fifty percent.
