Alpha Reborn!



Dylan's eyebrows shot up as he felt a sudden fluctuation of energy behind him. The sensation was so subtle that even Seraphine, a sensory-type awakened soul cultivator at the peak of the Soul Fusion Realm, would have missed it.

Acting on instinct, Dylan swiftly turned around and raised his arms in a cross formation, bracing for impact as Evan's foot came hurtling towards him.

Bam!

The force of the impact sent Dylan skidding back ten meters, but he managed to keep his balance and quickly regained his footing, preparing himself for Evan's next move. He knew he couldn't afford to let his guard down, not even for a moment, as Evan was a formidable opponent who could strike from anywhere like a freaking ghost!

"Not bad," Dylan grinned, impressed by Evan's skill. "You nearly caught me off guard there."

Evan smiled superficially, his eyes narrowing as he regarded Dylan coolly.

"Founder Dylan," he said, "your soul type is a real cheat, allowing you to sense even the slightest change in your surroundings. If it weren't for that, this match would have already ended with me being declared the victor."

The All-in-One soul plate was widely recognized as the most powerful soul plate in existence, and with good reason. This remarkable soul plate provided its user with the combined benefits of offensive, defensive, control, and sensory-type soul plates, making it an invaluable asset in any battle.

To begin with, the All-in-One soul plate enhanced its user's offensive capabilities by an impressive 30%. This meant that the user's attacks were significantly more powerful than others in the same cultivation level as them and could deal devastating damage to their opponents. Additionally, the soul plate bolstered the user's defensive capabilities, providing increased resilience and the ability to withstand even the most brutal attacks.

Moreover, the All-in-one soul plate improved the user's control over their soul energy, allowing them to perform almost any soul skill with ease. This meant that they could execute complex maneuvers and unleash powerful attacks with greater efficiency and precision.

Lastly, the All-in-one soul plate provided its user with heightened sensory perception, allowing them to sense their opponent's movements and anticipate their attacks. This gave the user a significant advantage in battle, as they could dodge attacks with ease and strike at the right moment to stay one step ahead of their opponents.

It was precisely because of all these reasons that Dylan was able to catch on to Evan's movement even though he was moving through the Shadow Realm. Dylan's All-in-One soul plate had heightened his senses, allowing him to sense even the slightest fluctuations in energy. This had enabled him to anticipate Evan's movements and react accordingly, giving him a significant advantage in their battle.

Dylan chuckled. "You're not wrong. But that's just one of the advantages of my soul plate. While it has more advantages than other soul plates, it also has a distinct weakness. I'll leave it up to you to figure out what it is. I mean, your chance of victory lies in recognizing it and making good use of it. I'll be doing the same, of course. After all, everyone has their own strength and weaknesses, and it's up to us to make the most of them. So, shall we continue?"

Evan's expression shifted to a contemplative one as he pondered over Dylan's words. Deep down, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the valuable tip that his opponent had given him, not to mention the level of respect Dylan had shown him.

As Evan reflected on Dylan's soul plate, he realized that while it allowed Dylan to become a jack-of-all-trades as an awakened soul cultivator, it also meant he was a master of none. In contrast, Evan's own soul plate enabled him to execute all of his skills with unparalleled precision. 

A wry smile danced across Evan's face as he considered how he could utilize this to his advantage against Dylan. However, it was easier said than done. Dylan was a highly skilled and seasoned cultivator, and Evan knew that it would be no small feat to outmaneuver him.

Evan nodded resolutely. "Let's do this."

And with that, the two soul cultivators who had awakened their potential launched themselves back into the fray, each one determined to emerge victorious in this intense battle.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Both Dylan and Evan pushed themselves to their limits as they traded blows, each one more powerful than the last. They exchanged punches, kicks, and elbow strikes, each strike delivered with incredible force and precision. The sound of their impacts echoed throughout the arena, punctuated by the occasional grunt or shout of exertion that they released when they got hit or attacked.

As the battle raged on, both cultivators began to show signs of wear and tear. More bruises covered their bodies, and blood flowed like rivers from the cuts on their faces.

Despite this, Evan appeared to be in better shape than Dylan, who now had panda eyes.

Dylan wasn't the type to fight passively. Even though he looked more injured than Evan, he launched a attack. Evan's eyes glinted with newfound confidence as he spotted an opening in Dylan's defense. With lightning-fast reflexes, he dodged Dylan's fist with an agile turn of his body and unleashed a swift kick at Dylan's side. Dylan was unable to react in time, and he was sent flying, crashing into the arena wall.

"Ugh!"

Groaning in pain, Dylan struggled to catch his breath as he lay on the ground. But with sheer determination alone, he forced himself to his feet, his gaze fixed on Evan.

"Impressive," Dylan said, his voice strained but filled with respect. "But don't get too confident. I'm not done yet."

"I know you aren't. We're both equally powerful. So how can I not tell that you've been holding back all this time. You've been reluctant to hurt me because I am your brother's descendant. But I do not want that. I know you have more in you than what you have shown me so far. So, show me your worst!" Evan responded.
