Chapter 33

"Charms?" Rong Jielin's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly, "In the family disciples' competition, not only are spirit weapons used, but charms as well. This is too much."

Rong Yitie, however, raised his voice and said, "Uncle Lin, before the competition, we did not specify any restrictions. Therefore, using any means is acceptable."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Lin, he is right. Rong Kaixin did not violate any rules."

A hint of satisfaction flashed across Rong Yitie's face, and he said, "Uncle Lin, this is due to your own lack of preparation. How can you blame others?"

Rong Jielin laughed in anger and said, "Truly shameless."

Rong Yitie laughed heartily, not only unashamed but also beaming with pride and self-satisfaction.

The middle-aged man glanced at him coldly and said slowly, "Yitie, I have been responsible for supervising this arena for ten years. During these ten years, I have seen many intense battles. However, a young master as shameless as yours is the first."

Rong Yitie's laughter abruptly stopped. His face turned bright red, his eyes darted around, but he remained silent.

He hated Rong Jielin and this person to the bone, but due to his own low strength, he could do nothing about it. So, he had to endure the humiliation and plan his revenge for another day.

On the stage, Rong Kaixin sneered and said, "Do you think you are the only one who knows the Spirit Gathering Technique? Hmph, I will also let you taste the power of a Spirit Body Fighter."

He waved his hand, and the charm instantly exploded.

In the next moment, a human-shaped spirit body appeared around him.

"Go..."

With Rong Kaixin's teeth-grinding roar, the human-shaped spirit body transformed into a bolt of lightning and pounced on Rong Kaixuan.

Rong Kaixuan was slightly startled. He knew very well how terrifying a Spirit Body Fighter could be.

These beings, who could not be killed or knocked down, were a headache even for late-stage warriors, let alone him.

His wrist flicked, and a point of light shot out.

As soon as this light was released, it rapidly grew larger. In the blink of an eye, it had absorbed a vast amount of spiritual energy and condensed into a human-shaped spirit body.

"Bang..."

Spirit body against spirit body, their fists collided fiercely.

These two spirit bodies looked similar from the outside, but most of the people present were powerful warriors or spirit users, and they could naturally distinguish their identities from subtle details.

The battle between Spirit Body Fighters was extremely dull. They were all bodies formed from spiritual energy, possessing great strength and a faint, almost imperceptible combat instinct. However, their fighting style was completely different from human combat.

Because they did not have true life, they never learned self-protection during battles.

At this moment, the two spirit bodies exchanged punches and kicks, each attack causing some damage to the other, while their own injuries also worsened.

If two humans were fighting like this, they would have been bloodied and lost their fighting ability long ago. But the two spirit bodies were still entangled, fighting fiercely and creating a lively scene.

Rong Kaixuan sighed in relief, his gaze turning to Rong Kaixin, pondering how to defeat him.

Although he had dodged the attack of the spirit body, this did not mean he could ignore Rong Kaixin's strength as a mid-stage warrior and the powerful spirit weapon he possessed.

To defeat him, it seemed that one Spirit Body Fighter was not enough.

Just as he was hesitating whether to summon a second Spirit Body Fighter, Rong Kaixin laughed strangely and flipped his hand again, revealing another identical charm in his palm.

Rong Kaixuan's eyes widened, and a surge of frustration almost made him spit out blood.

Using countless Spirit Body Fighter charms to attack others was something he had always dreamed of. But now, he only had one such charm, while Rong Kaixin seemed to have more than just two.

"Go to hell."

Rong Kaixin cursed fiercely and tore the charm again.

Another Spirit Body Fighter appeared and pounced viciously.

Rong Kaixuan sighed, realizing he could no longer hide his abilities. He waved his hand, and a light flashed, summoning a second Spirit Body Fighter.

On the stage, the four Spirit Body Fighters were entangled in battle, while Rong Kaixuan and Rong Kaixin stayed far away, not daring to get close.

Rong Kaixin's eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he flipped his hand again, pulling out another charm.

A third Spirit Body Fighter suddenly appeared, taking heavy steps toward Rong Kaixuan.

Rong Kaixuan smiled bitterly. The energy sphere in his forehead could only allow him to summon three Spirit Body Fighters. This was his greatest trump card, but it had been exposed here.

He waved his hand, and a light flashed, summoning the third pair of Spirit Body Fighters to fight.

In the distance, Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes were dazed, and she muttered, "Three Spirit Body Fighters... Is he really just a beginner spirit user? This is too incredible."

At this moment, she felt a deep sense of disappointment and defeat.

Before today, although she had seen the special, powerful, and limitless potential of Rong Kaixuan's spiritual energy, she still had confidence in competing with him.

However, after seeing these three Spirit Body Fighters, her ambition was instantly extinguished. Although she was unwilling to admit it, she understood that this young man's future achievements would far surpass her own.

Below the stage, Rong Jielin watched with wide eyes.

He suddenly turned his head and whispered, "Yiyang, can you be sure that Kaixuan did not cultivate spiritual energy a month ago?"

Rong Yiyang smiled bitterly and said, "Father, do I not know my own son? Before this, he didn't even know what a spirit user was, let alone cultivate spiritual energy."

Rong Jielin glared at him angrily and said, "Your judgment is flawed, which is why I don't trust you."

Rong Yiyang was stunned, furious, but then he thought about his son's lack of progress under his guidance and his spectacular explosion after joining the family. He immediately shut his mouth.

Perhaps the old man was right; his judgment was indeed flawed.

Rong Jielin turned back, his eyes filled with surprise and conflict.

Kaixuan's talent in the spiritual path was so strong, which was a great joy. However, he also had the heart of a warrior. If he completely abandoned the martial path, wouldn't that be a waste of his talent?

He had never been so conflicted.

The spiritual path, the martial path—what would be the future path for this child?

On the stage, Rong Kaixin was furious and terrified. Taking out his last charm, he threw it away and made a decision in his heart: if Rong Kaixuan could summon five Spirit Body Fighters, he would defy his brother's wishes and immediately flee.

Rong Kaixuan snorted and, gritting his teeth, took out the only Spirit Body Fighter charm he had.

With a light flick, the fourth pair of Spirit Body Fighters on the stage became entangled in battle.

Rong Kaixin's eyes lit up, and he said with joy and surprise, "Your spiritual energy is exhausted; you can't summon any more."

Rong Kaixuan snorted coldly and said, "Do you still have any charms left?" He thought to himself, if he took out another charm, he would immediately concede.

Victory or defeat is just a matter of spirit; it's not worth risking his life.

Rong Kaixin's facial muscles twitched, and he roared, "I have no more charms, but I want to see where you can run now." He took large steps toward Rong Kaixuan.

Although the stage was wide, with four pairs of Spirit Body Fighters fighting in the corners, the space available for the two of them was limited.

Losing the space to move and dodge was a fatal crisis for the weaker party.

Rong Kaixin's hand glowed with a yellow light, and with his roar, the endless fist shadows enveloped Rong Kaixuan again.

This time, he used his full strength, each move vicious and deadly.

Rong Jielin's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Is this still a competition? He wants to kill Kaixuan. Stop it..."

However, the middle-aged man said softly, "Uncle Lin, please calm down. Your grandson has not conceded yet."

Rong Jielin's eyes widened, and he was about to step forward to stop it when Rong Yihé suddenly said, "Father, look..."

Rong Jielin was stunned and looked carefully. After a while, his heart, which had been on edge, finally relaxed.

On the stage, Rong Kaixuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He calmed his mind, and his entire body seemed to enter a very profound state. His steps were unpredictable, and his figure swayed like a flower, moving freely through the countless fist shadows.

Although the fist shadows were incredibly powerful, they posed no threat if they couldn't hit him.

After a quarter of an hour, Rong Kaixin was already panting heavily.

He was only a mid-stage warrior, and although his true qi was slightly more substantial than Rong Kaixuan's, continuously activating the power of a spirit weapon was too much for him.

"Ha ha." Suddenly, Rong Kaixuan's figure flickered, breaking free from the fist shadows, and he looked at the other side with a half-smiling, half-serious expression.

Rong Kaixin panted heavily, his face red. Just as he was about to pursue, he suddenly felt the atmosphere around him was very strange.

Looking closely, he was stunned for a moment, and then a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, instantly enveloping his entire body.

At some point, the battle between the Spirit Body Fighters around him had stopped.

Four of the eight Spirit Body Fighters on the stage had disappeared, and the remaining four surrounded him.

At this point, even a fool would know which side these four Spirit Body Fighters belonged to.

A cold, lethal intent flashed in Rong Kaixuan's eyes, and his will was instantly transmitted.

Rong Kaixin, surrounded, was terrified, his mind racing, and he immediately roared, "I concede..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, the four powerful Spirit Body Fighters simultaneously threw a punch.

"Bang..."

A loud noise, Rong Kaixin's body was pierced by four massive forces, like pork hit by four giant hammers. Blood and flesh flew across the stage, leaving a mess.

"No, Xin'er..."

Rong Yitie's eyes turned red, and he howled in grief, rushing toward the stage.
