“Besides, to tell you the truth, the disciples of the Pure Wind Clan rarely have the opportunity to spar with outsiders. We’ll take this opportunity to send out three Soul Warrior disciples to spar with everyone. How about it?”

Li Xun suggested with a smile. Originally, the group of people from the Pure Wind Clan had no reason to fight over the Nine-Tailed Fox. Nonetheless, with the unforeseen circumstances that had just occurred, the situation was uncertain.

As soon as he finished, the expressions on the faces of the Wang Xiang family and the other leader of the group, who had just eased up a little, changed slightly and became unsightly.

Indeed, the people from the Pure Wind Clan are thinking of getting the Nine-Tailed Fox.

“Chief Li, what do you mean?”

The man from the Wang Xiang family asked stiffly.

“My original intention was for my disciples to spar with each other. They’re all at the same cultivation level, so they might be able to comprehend a new path of cultivation..

“Don’t look at me like that. The capable ones will take the Nine-Tailed Fox. Are you saying that you don’t have confidence in your disciples?”

Li Xun spread his hands and pointed at the three Soul Warrior disciples behind him. “To be honest, do you think this arrangement is advantageous for us?”

The three disciples behind him, including Li Ran, were all Soul Warriors. From the design of their Soul Rings, it did not seem they had divine Soul Skills.

At this time, the Wang Xiang family and the other group looked over and sized up the three Soul Warriors, deliberating.

Li Ran had made a move in front of everyone earlier. To be honest, a stone-like Soul Ring was a little unpresentable.

They did not think much of it. Whether Li Ran went up to spar or not would not have much of an effect on the outcome.

The two parties were mainly sizing up the other two disciples. Both of them had Weapon Soul Rings. As for their strengths, they could not tell for the time being.

Even so, could they reject Li Xun’s suggestion?

No.

Due to the Pure Wind Clan’s attack just now, a huge disaster had been averted. Logically speaking, they could participate in the fight for the Nine-Tailed Fox.

More importantly, the Pure Wind Clan’s chief was a Soul Grandmaster, yet he did not attack directly. Instead, he asked his disciples to challenge the others. To a certain extent, he had made a concession.

“What do you think? Have you two thought about it? Or would it be more exciting to send Great Soul Masters to spar?”

Once these words were said, the representatives from the two groups had complicated looks on their faces. After thinking about it for a while, they unanimously felt that the first plan was more advantageous to them.

“We’ll do it your way then. Each group will send three Soul Warriors. Whoever wins will be able to obtain the Nine-Tailed Fox!”

The robust man was the first to agree.

He did not think that the chosen ones from his group would be at a disadvantage in a competition between Soul Warrior.

Only the Wang Xiang family was left.

The man nodded, agreeing in the end.

He turned around and returned to his team. The youth from before walked up to him and said, “Father, let me go up later and beat them all to the ground!”

The person who spoke was the youth who was associated with Li Ran at the Dongluo Market. His name was Wang Chen.

When the man heard Wang Chen, he looked at him and asked, “Chen’er, are you confident?”

He had some understanding of the Pure Wind Clan. Their strength was average. Among the disciples who came, there were no outstanding ones. That was why he readily agreed to Li Xun’s suggestion.

As for the other group of people, he did not understand their background. It was hard to say how strong they were.

“Father, don’t worry. I only panicked just now and gave the Nine-Tailed Fox an opportunity!”

When Wang Chen thought about what had happened just now, he felt resentful. Li Ran knew that he would be in danger, but he did not act in time, which made him furious!

He had to get rid of the humiliation from just now!

In Sifang Town, he had always been an outstanding person among his peers. He had awakened six Soul Rings and possessed a 1,000-year-old Innate Soul Ring!

He had not broken through to a Soul Warrior for a long time not because his Soul Qi was not high enough, but because he had been searching for high-level magical beasts!

The youth would rather wait for a long time than hunt low-level beasts to become a Soul Warrior.

Today, he had encountered the 10,000year-old Nine-Tailed Fox. It would be the most suitable second Soul Ring for him.

With a 10,000-year-old second Soul Ring, once Wang Chen became a Soul Warrior, no one in the Soul Warrior realm would be a match for him. Even a Great Soul Master might not be a match for him!

This was the confidence of having a Soul Ring that was of a high age!

“Alright, Chen’er, apart from you, I’ll have Uncle Xun and someone else go with you. Both of them are Soul Warriors. Let them attack first!”

Although the man did not say it out loud, he was still very confident in Wang Chen. He was the one and only genius in the Wang Xiang family. With a 1,000-year-old Beast Soul Ring, he was probably the greatest person in Sifang Town!

“Alright, Father. I’ll definitely defeat them. The Nine-Tailed Fox will be mine!”

Wang Chen was full of confidence.

Meanwhile.

“Lil’ Ran, go with your two senior brothers. Later, see which of their two groups will go first. Let senior brothers go first because they have a certain amount of experience. I’m afraid that if you go first, you’ll be at a disadvantage.”

After sizing up the strengths of the two groups, Li Xun thought for a moment and came up with a relatively safe countermeasure.

He did not have much hope for Li Ran. Defeating Li Hao did not mean that he was truly invincible among Soul Warriors. The Soul Warriors of the Wang Xiang family were much stronger than Li Hao.

In any case, Li Xun wanted Li Ran to spar with Soul Warriors. He wanted Li Ran to realize the difference in strength between himself and others. This would be of great help to his future Body Cultivation.

“I understand.”

Li Ran was very excited. He did not think too much about it. This sparring session had many benefits for him. Of course, other than the reward of the Nine-Tailed Fox, there were other benefits as well.

Up until now, the only person he had really sparred with was Li Hao. His strength was average.

Li Ran could use this opportunity to understand the Soul Warriors outside. What level of strength had they reached?

Everyone was secretly sizing up each other’s strength and competing in secret. Every group was eyeing the Nine-Tailed Fox like a tiger eyeing its prey.

The three parties had chosen their respective Soul Warriors. In a while, they would be sparring with each other on behalf of their respective groups. Only the winning group would have a chance of getting the Nine-Tailed Fox!

It was worth noting that the Desolate Millet Mountain Range was vast. Almost without expending much effort, everyone found an open space that was very suitable for sparring.

The sparring was about to begin!

At this time, the tanned middle-aged man was the first to step forward. He said, “There are three groups of people, so it’s not easy to spar if we go together. How about this? Our group will start first. If any of you Soul Warriors wish to challenge them, go up on your own. The winner will stay. If no Soul Warrior dares to go up and challenge anymore, it’ll be considered a victory for the group that stayed!”

The three Soul Warriors from the Wang Xiang family and the three from the Pure Wind Clan looked at each other and nodded. They had no objections to this suggestion.

“Since everyone has agreed, I’ll say no more. I don’t want to waste everyone’s time.

“Let the sparring begin!”

As the middle-aged man gave the order, a twelve-year-old youth slowly walked out from behind him. He was very healthy and had healthy skin. His hair was very long and hung down to his waist.

The youth’s expression was indifferent, and his jet-black eyes were expressionless. He shot a glance at the few Soul Warriors before standing in the middle of the empty space. He did not say a word as he quietly waited for his opponent to enter the arena.

“What type of Soul Ring is that?”

Li Ran’s gaze stopped at the youth’s right wrist. There was only one Soul Ring, but it was very bright and golden in color.

“That Innate Soul Ring should be around 900 years old, which is why its color is so obvious. It’s very impressive.”

Li Xun stood beside Li Ran and explained when he saw his puzzled face.

“It should be a Beast Soul Ring. Unfortunately, it’s not a rare ancient vicious beast. It’s just an ordinary Azure Dragon.”

Even though Li Xun said this, an envious look appeared on his face. A 900-year-old Beast Soul Ring. This kind of Innate Soul Ring could be considered a high-grade Soul Ring.

On the other hand, his Innate Soul Ring was only 500 years old, and it was only a Medicinal Herb Soul Ring!

A 900-year-old Azure Dragon…

If the youth were to strengthen it many times in the future, before he became a Soul Grandmaster, he might be even more formidable than Li Xun, who was a Soul Grandmaster!

Li Ran sighed. This was the strength of an Innate Soul Ring. One could cross realms to defend against enemies!

His gaze returned to the arena.

The youth was still standing in the middle. The other two disciples of the Pure Wind Clan did not move, but a Soul Warrior from the Wang Xiang family walked out.

It was not Wang Chen.

Wang Chen, who was watching the arena from afar, was also observing the youth’s Beast Soul Ring.

The Beast Soul Ring was the Azure Dragon, which was a level lower than his Soul Ring.

Wang Chen did not enter the arena because he wanted to understand the opponent’s soul skill in secret so that he would not be unprepared and fall into a disadvantageous position.
