No One Can Defy Justice in the Arena!

Fortunately, with the match at its critical moment, no one noticed Neuvillette's abnormality.

"Strange. Shouldn't the two of them have used their combination skill, All or Nothing, to attack Xiao Wu, then Tang San would stop them and get injured, while Xiao Wu used her Sleeve Arrow to prepare to kill them?"

The battlefield changed in an instant. Perhaps it was because of Neuvillette, this "butterfly," that the situation had changed.

Xiao Wu had been injured instead, and Tang San had erupted.

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot. These two dared to hurt Xiao Wu—they had earned themselves a death sentence!

He did not use any hidden weapons. Instead, he charged straight at them.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"

Tie Long and Tie Hu were twin brothers. Though they did not possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their minds were connected. The two exchanged another glance, and a vicious gleam flashed through their eyes!

"All or Nothing!" ×2

This was the brothers' trump card. They spun their bodies to drive their martial souls, then hurled them out.

The force generated by the spinning greatly increased the power of the throw.

Tang San saw this and did not think much of it. How could a skill like this possibly hit someone who possessed the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track?

Those demonic footwork steps allowed him to evade the brothers' strongest attack directly.

Taking advantage of the moment their martial souls left their hands, Tang San had already arrived before them.

"We surrender!"

"???"

Tang San was just about to strike when he paused slightly. Surrender?

"You think surrendering means this is over?"

The flames of rage in Tang San's heart had already been ignited. If he did not kill these two brothers, how could he live up to his oath!

"If anyone wants to kill you, then they'll have to step over my corpse first!"

The memory flashed past, and Tang San's crimson eyes held nothing but killing intent!

"Die! This is the price for hurting Xiao Wu!"

At some point, two Willow Leaf Blades had appeared in Tang San's hands.

Willow Leaf Blades were a type of hidden weapon. Though they ranked rather low, he did not even need special techniques to deal with these two right now!

At that moment, Neuvillette, who stood at the edge of the arena, moved. He moved like thunder, so fast that it surpassed everyone's imagination.

A "book" appeared behind Neuvillette. Wave-like engravings covered its surface...

Three Hydro Blue "soul rings" rapidly rose from beneath his feet.

After his martial soul appeared, he did not use any soul skills. Instead, he tapped the ground with his toes and leaped lightly upward. He was so fast that before the spectators could react, he had already crashed into Tang San.

Even Tang San, with his Purple Demon Eyes active and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track at his disposal, failed to react at all. He only felt an immeasurable pressure lock onto him, and then he knew nothing.

Being young was great—he fell asleep the moment his head hit the ground!

Neuvillette had only delivered an ordinary blow, yet Tang San was knocked unconscious. Neuvillette had even held back. Otherwise, among the many children undergoing Spirit Awakening seven years later, Tang San might have had a place.

"No one may defy justice in the arena!"

Neuvillette rose from his half-crouched position as he spoke. He did not even glance at Tang San, remaining utterly calm.

"The opponent had already surrendered, yet he still harbored killing intent and intended to murder them. Such things are not permitted in the Gambling Soul Duel arena."

"Contestant Tang San violated the rules and is directly declared defeated. The Iron Blood Combination wins this match!"

After Neuvillette finished speaking, the only sound throughout the venue was people drawing sharp breaths.

"Hiss..."

"I guessed this referee was strong, but I never imagined he would be this strong!"

"My husband is incredible! From so far away, he reached them with just a light leap. In that kind of danger, even a Soul Ancestor might not have been able to stop it!"

"What do you mean, your husband? He's clearly my husband! What's with Lord Neuvillette's soul rings? They're all Hydro Blue. I have to say, they're quite pretty!"

"It should be because of the influence of his martial soul. His martial soul is a Hydro Blue book, so it makes sense for his soul rings to be affected and turn Hydro Blue as well."

No one suspected that Neuvillette's soul rings were fake. They even came up with an excuse on their own to explain why they were Hydro Blue.

Forget seeing soul rings like these—they had never even heard of them!

"My husband is so handsome!"

"Wait, something's not right. Isn't Neuvillette too strong? He didn't use any soul skills at all just now, and his martial soul is even a tool-type martial soul. Isn't his physique a bit absurdly powerful?"

Some sharper people noticed the crucial point.

"I think you're just jealous. So what if my husband has a stronger physique?"

"I'm your boyfriend!"

"Not anymore!"

"Uh..."

On the arena, the brothers Tie Long and Tie Hu were still somewhat frightened. Tang San had no martial virtue at all. They had already surrendered, and he had been fully capable of stopping because he had not even used a soul skill.

Yet Tang San had still wanted to kill them?

What kind of Gambling Soul Duel was this!

They had shown mercy to that girl, yet her companion had tried to kill them without mercy!

"Thank you, Judge Sir!"

"Thank you, Judge Sir!"

The two brothers cupped their fists toward Neuvillette and spoke with grateful expressions.

This was a life-saving favor!

"No need to thank me. It is my duty."

Neuvillette waved a hand as he spoke, then withdrew his martial soul.

The reason he had revealed the Tome of Eternal Flow was simply because a soul master had to use a martial soul when wielding their own power.

Whether he used it or not made no difference. It was like a god wearing a fake glass bead—merely going through the motions so he would not appear too unusual.

"To you, it may be your duty, but to us brothers, it is a life-saving favor!"

"We know our strength is lacking and that we have no way to repay you. If Lord Neuvillette ever has need of us in the future, we will brave blades and flames without hesitation!"

Hearing this, Neuvillette gave the two of them a slightly meaningful look and nodded, saying nothing more.

"Miss Xiao Wu, if you're awake, take your companion down. I have already explained why you lost this match."

Neuvillette looked at Xiao Wu, who was still lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and spoke.

Xiao Wu: "..."

She had woken up long ago. The other side had indeed held back, or she would have needed to sleep a little longer.

A loss was a loss. She did not care.

"It was Third Brother who broke the rules. I've always followed the Soul Arena's rules!"

Fortunately, Tang San was already asleep. Otherwise, hearing this might have made him cough up blood in anger!

Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, I did all of this for you!

"You are a team. If he breaks the rules, you will be implicated as well."

Neuvillette explained briefly.

But that was not what Xiao Wu meant at all!

After both sides had left the arena, Neuvillette finally sensed his own power.

"So that's how it is?"

"The presence of a protagonist—or rather, handling a match fairly—can earn me even more power!"

This soul duel had provided an even greater increase than the previous match between Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing...
