"Soul-Annihilating Finger?"

"Soul-Annihilating Finger? A Spiritual Attack Secret Technique?"

When they heard that, Gao Yun and the other two stared at Wen Jian in disbelief.

"That’s right."

Wen Jian took a deep breath, suppressing the fear inside him, and stared intently at Chen Fan on the screen.

"This Finger Technique can ignore the defensive items on the opponent and directly attack their Divine Soul. Its power depends on the user’s Spiritual Power—the higher the Spiritual Power, the stronger the attack."

"The higher the Spiritual Power, the stronger the attack," Jin Jin murmured, and then suddenly thought of something, "But what about Yang Hu’s Spiritual Power? It’s not weak either!"

"Yes, President. Yang Hu, like us, is a C-level Awakened. His Moon Observation Technique has almost reached the Great Success Realm. Let’s not even talk about some Spiritual Attack Secret Techniques; even those C-level Awakened with Spiritual Attack type Superpowers couldn’t instantly kill Yang Hu, right?" Gao Yun said with wide eyes.

Wen Jian didn’t say anything.

In his heart, he already had an answer, but he was unwilling to accept it.

"What if that newcomer’s Spiritual Power is far superior to Yang Hu’s?"

The effeminate man said slowly.

Jin Jin and Gao Yun both looked at him with faces full of disbelief.

The newcomer’s Spiritual Power is higher than Yang Hu’s?

Could it be that he has cultivated the Moon Observation Technique to the Perfection Realm? Or has he even started cultivating the Sun Observation Technique?

No, that’s impossible. He just joined the association, didn’t he?

"President," Jin Jin swallowed hard and glanced at the screen, where Yang Hu was lying still on the ring, "Could Yang Hu just be temporarily unconscious?"

"Yes, President, even if that newcomer has strong Spiritual Power, it’s impossible for him to instantly kill Yang Hu, right?"

"Let’s hope so."

Wen Jian’s tone lacked confidence.

Outside, it was still deathly silent.

The entire scene was as if frozen in time.

On the ring, Chen Fan had already dressed. He scanned the surroundings and said in a deep voice, "The Life and Death Arena—victory and defeat have been decided."

As soon as the words fell, the Awakeners around them seemed to wake up from a dream, and a commotion broke out.

The phrase "victory and defeat have been decided" is nothing out of the ordinary in a regular ring match. After all, it’s common to have a winner and a loser, and even a draw is rare; over time, one side would inevitably win.

However, when these words appeared in the Life and Death Arena, it carried a different meaning—it meant that one of the two people on the ring had died.

The current scene made it painfully obvious who had died.

But how could this be possible?

Brother Hu was an experienced C-level Awakened in the association, with formidable strength. How could he die at the hands of a newcomer?

Moreover, dying inexplicably being pointed to death by a finger?

Chen Fan frowned.

He didn’t have the time to waste here.

He looked at the man in sunglasses and said, "If you don’t believe it, then come up and confirm."

The man in sunglasses came to his senses and rushed onto the ring. He shook Yang Hu desperately and called out urgently, "Brother Hu, Brother Hu, wake up! Wake up!"

Everyone held their breath, staring at Yang Hu on the ring, not daring to blink.

On one hand, they couldn’t accept the fact that a newcomer could kill a C-level Awakened.

On the other hand, they had bet hundreds, even thousands of points on Yang Hu.

After all, in any reasonable view, Yang Hu couldn’t lose, could he?

Some people began to breathe heavily.

They had placed small bets on the newcomer, hoping for the best. If the newcomer won, their points could be multiplied several times over!

"Brother Hu! Brother Hu!"

The man in sunglasses continued to shake Yang Hu desperately.

But there was no response.

An ominous sensation filled his heart. He recalled what Chen Fan had said earlier and slowly placed his finger under Yang Hu’s nose.

He then jolted as if electrocuted, falling back onto the ground, pale and horrified.

Everyone saw this scene and couldn’t help but think the same thought: Yang Hu is really dead?

"Confirmed?"

Chen Fan smirked, "Since it’s confirmed, announce it."

The man in sunglasses stuttered, white as a sheet, clearly terrified.

Just then, a sound of footsteps could be heard.

"President!"

"The President is here!"

"Not just the President, but the others too!"

Everyone watched as Wen Jian and the other three walked over, their faces varied in expressions.

"Jin Jin, go and check," Wen Jian said.

"Yes, President."

Jin Jin nodded, took a deep breath, and walked toward the ring, his attention focused on Chen Fan.

Although he knew the opponent couldn’t attack him at this moment, Chen Fan’s performance made him extremely wary.

"Could it be that Yang Hu really died? Died at the hands of a newcomer?"

"Damn it, Old Yu always messes up at critical moments. Is the person dead or not? Give us a clear answer!"

"In any case, whether he is dead or not, the winner of this Life and Death Arena has already been decided," someone muttered, and the surrounding noise suddenly decreased significantly.

Indeed, anyone with clear eyes could see that the newcomer had secured an absolute advantage. His ability to stay standing while Yang Hu lay down was the biggest proof.

However, most of them were still unwilling to accept this result until the very last moment.

Jin Jin reached the ring, squatted by Yang Hu’s side, checked his pupils, and felt for his breath. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "President, Yang Hu is dead."

The scene went silent, and even the sound of breathing disappeared.

Even though Wen Jian and the others had mentally prepared themselves in advance, their bodies still shook upon hearing these words.

Jin Jin then looked at Chen Fan with extreme caution.

He wasn’t sure if Chen Fan still had any power left after using that move.

If he did, killing him wouldn’t be much harder than killing Yang Hu.

"Then announce it," Wen Jian said, glancing at Chen Fan with both fear and regret.

This Li Ping probably awakened his Superpower long ago and had considerable mastery over it before taking the examination.

It wasn’t uncommon to have such examples in the past.

The common factor was that all these individuals were geniuses among geniuses.

However, he missed it and was even involved in an unpleasant incident with the other party.

"If only I had known, sigh!" He sighed deeply in his heart. Since the situation had already happened, it was too late to say anything now; he could only see if there was any way to mitigate the misunderstandings between them.

The Stone City Association had already lost one C-level Awakened. Losing Li Ping would be too much.

"Yes, President," Jin Jin took a deep breath, faced the crowd, and said, "I announce that the winner of this Life and Death Arena is Li Ping."

With these words, many people turned ashen-faced.

Some even fainted on the spot.

A few tried their best to suppress their excitement. Who would have thought this arena match would end in such an upset! If they had known, they would have bet more points!

The effeminate man and Gao Yun exchanged glances, feeling rather desolate.

Even though their relationship was average, they had known each other for some time, and now the other party was suddenly gone...

"Take his corpse down," Wen Jian said.

"Yes."

Just as Jin Jin was about to grab the corpse, a voice sounded from behind him, "I don’t recall saying you could take the body."

Chen Fan looked at him and said coldly.

Not to mention, the special item on Yang Hu’s body was quite valuable.

A chill swept through Jin Jin, but as a C-level Awakened, he couldn’t back down in front of so many people. What would that do to his reputation?

"Li Ping, don’t push it too far. You’ve won the Life and Death Arena, but Yang Hu was a member of the association. If he’s dead, the association should bury him."

"You can bury him, but leave the space items and special item around his neck."

"Li Ping!"

Jin Jin was furious, "Don’t push your luck!"

Others also showed anger on their faces.

He killed the man, and he still wouldn’t leave his belongings? The president was present—isn’t he even afraid of the president’s authority?

"What? Dissatisfied?"

Chen Fan chuckled, "If you’re unhappy, you can duel with me in the Life and Death Arena right now."

"You!"

Jin Jin retreated a few steps in fright.

He could tell this guy wasn’t joking. He really intended to do it.

"Fight him!"

"Fight! Life and Death Arena, who’s afraid of whom?"

"Yes, Brother Jin, fight him and avenge Brother Hu!"

"Avenge him!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Damn bunch of idiots!"

Jin Jin cursed everyone’s ancestors in his mind.

A bunch of onlookers who enjoyed seeing trouble. Did they really think he was an idiot?

The prior incident was right there in front of them. What if he couldn’t win and also died in the arena?

"Everyone shut up!"

Just then, a voice overwhelmed all the shouting in the arena.

Wen Jian’s cold gaze swept across the audience.

The place instantly fell silent.

"Brother Li,"

Wen Jian turned to Chen Fan with a smile and said gently, "You defeated Yang Hu, so the items on him are naturally your spoils of war. Taking them is rightfully yours. But, while we know what Yang Hu’s space items are, we do not know how to open them. I hope Brother Li understands."

"Brother Li,"

Chen Fan wore a faint smile.

He had long known Wen Jian was there but hadn’t shown himself until now, clearly hoping Chen Fan would get killed.

Wen Jian’s heart sank at the opponent’s hostile tone.

However, what must be done must be done.

"Brother Li," Wen Jian showed a flattering expression, "There’s some misunderstanding here. Could Brother Li give us a chance to sit down and talk it over?"
