"Xiao Wu, Go!" "Revive, My Beloved!"

Hearing the announcement, Neuvillette froze slightly. Good heavens, not only had the male lead come this time, but the female lead had come too!

"I wonder if my guess is right."

"We'll know soon enough."

Before this two-person soul duel ended, Neuvillette had also hosted a one-on-one soul duel. The power it added was simply incomparable to the previous match between Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing.

Who would have thought that before he could use his authority to arrange for them to come to the arena under his charge, they had come on their own!

After Xiao Wu stepped onto the arena, her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Neuvillette.

She always felt that Neuvillette carried an aura of superiority, an aura that did not belong to humans.

She did not know whether it was merely her imagination.

Now that she saw Neuvillette again, she became even more certain of her guess. Though this aura was not particularly strong and was not the aura of a soul beast either, she simply felt that Neuvillette was not human!

It sounded rather convoluted, but that was the truth.

Even Title Douluo could not detect anything unusual about Neuvillette, but soul beasts were different. They were more sensitive and far too familiar with the aura of humans.

Neuvillette carried a human aura, yet it was mixed with an aura that did not belong to humans. It was not the aura of a soul beast, yet it made soul beasts feel close to him!

Seeing this, Tang San felt a little jealous, but there was nothing he could do. He practically ground his back teeth to dust!

It felt as though the cabbage he had raised was about to stop belonging to him.

The Iron Blood Combination consisted of twin brothers. They were tall and sturdy, their muscles bulging. One look was enough to tell that they were trained fighters.

When the two saw their opponents, they both froze slightly. Two kids this young?

"Little sisters, you should step down yourselves. I'm afraid I might hurt you!"

"A soul duel isn't a game. If we can't hold back, getting hurt might be the least of your problems."

It was only because Xiao Wu looked so adorable that the brothers gave them this warning.

Hearing that, Xiao Wu withdrew her gaze and snapped out of her daze.

"Little sister?"

Sister Xiao Wu's true age was older than even their great-great-great-great-grandfather's grandfather!

"The two contestants on the left are a newly formed team today, the Three Five Combination!"

"The two contestants on the right are the Iron Blood Combination, who have already won four matches in a row!"

"In today's soul duel, will the new Three Five Combination emerge victorious, or will they give the Iron Blood Combination their fifth straight win? Let us wait and see!"

After the host finished warming up the crowd, Neuvillette said, "Both sides have one minute to summon their Martial Souls. The match will officially begin afterward!"

"Since this is a Gambling Soul Duel, neither side may deliberately injure the other! Stop when the point is made!"

After saying that, Neuvillette gave Tang San a meaningful glance. With Xiao Wu participating, it would be difficult for her not to get hurt!

Once Xiao Wu was hurt, Tang San would see a death sentence in everyone. Yet it was clearly him who had sent Xiao Wu up there to "get hurt."

He claimed he wanted to protect his little sister, but every time, he was the one saying, "Xiao Wu, go!"

"Soft Bone Rabbit Possession!"

Xiao Wu was the first to complete her Martial Soul Possession. Tang San and the two brothers of the Iron Blood Combination were not to be outdone and summoned their Martial Souls as well.

Having learned from the previous "lesson," Tang San did not want to say a single word, afraid that Neuvillette would warn him again later!

However, as a "proper gentleman," introductions were still necessary.

"Tang San, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, level twenty-nine control-type Soul Grandmaster. Please enlighten me!"

"Xiao Wu, Martial Soul Soft Bone Rabbit, level twenty-nine power attack-type Soul Grandmaster. Please enlighten me!"

(PS: Xiao Wu had always been a power attack-type Battle Soul Master, not an agility attack-type Battle Soul Master! This was the original setting. Whether in the novel, animation, or comic, she was a power attack-type Battle Soul Master.)

"What? You're actually level twenty-nine?"

The brothers Tie Long and Tie Hu were stunned. These two children, who looked so young, had actually reached level twenty-nine!

Their Soul Power Levels were even higher than theirs!

"Hmph, don't look down on us! You simply don't understand the gap between yourselves and geniuses!"

Xiao Wu assumed a fighting stance and gave a disdainful smile.

Hearing this, Tie Long and Tie Hu exchanged glances, but did not refute her. Geniuses? This world never lacked geniuses.

But even geniuses needed time to grow!

They were only Soul Grand Masters at present. How could their combat experience compare with those who had spent years fighting in the Soul Arena?

"Tie Long, Martial Soul Iron Hammer, level twenty-eight power attack-type Soul Grandmaster. Please enlighten me!"

"Tie Hu, Martial Soul Iron Hammer, level twenty-seven power attack-type Soul Grandmaster. Please enlighten me!"

The brothers Tie Long and Tie Hu summoned their Martial Souls almost simultaneously. Both were ordinary Forging Hammers!

Tang San was taken aback when he saw this, because he too possessed a hammer Martial Soul. Though it was somewhat different from the brothers' hammers, their fighting styles should be similar.

"Xiao Wu, be careful."

"Got it, Third Brother!"

Second by second, time passed. Neither side provoked the other. They simply waited quietly for the minute to end.

Tang San was afraid that Neuvillette would show him a "yellow card," while the two brothers of the Iron Blood Combination had their own considerations.

They had reached level twenty-nine at such a young age, and their soul rings were of the optimal configuration. It would be a lie to say that they had no backing.

It was best not to provoke opponents like that!

"One minute is up. The match begins!"

The moment his words fell, Tang San immediately said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, go!"

This was not the first time Tang San and Xiao Wu had worked together. The instant he spoke, Xiao Wu charged forward alone.

Tang San, meanwhile, remained where he was and observed the situation.

Tie Long and Tie Hu exchanged glances. Carrying Forging Hammers weighing over a hundred jin, they rushed toward Xiao Wu. They would eliminate one person first.

The head of those Forging Hammers was bigger than Xiao Wu's face. If she was accidentally struck even once, Tang San might very well go berserk on the spot!

"Xiao Wu, be careful!"

Distracted by Tang San's warning, Xiao Wu froze slightly. Of course she knew to be careful.

Who would want to get smashed by an Iron Hammer?

After exchanging two rounds, Xiao Wu was at a disadvantage while fighting one against two, but she had not been injured.

Just then, the belated support arrived.

"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"

"Xiao Wu, now!"

"First Soul Skill: Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu's legs... (???)

Time passed. After several exchanges, Xiao Wu was ultimately struck by Tie Long's Martial Soul due to a moment of carelessness!

At that moment, Tang San powered up!

"You're courting death!"

Looking at the fallen Xiao Wu, Tang San's eyes turned red. He activated Purple Demon Eyes, then used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

Like a phantom, he charged toward Tie Long and Tie Hu!

"Why did he have to power up only after Xiao Wu got hurt every time?"

"Maybe he used this routine too often later on, which was why Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, and then—revive, my beloved..."

"Pfft..."

Thinking of that, Neuvillette could not hold back and laughed out loud...
