After all, most people cared about looks. Although Xiao Wu did not seem very old, her figure still won her plenty of support.
Soul Masters were already rare in this world.
Female Soul Masters were even rarer, making up an even smaller proportion among Soul Masters.
So when such a delicate young girl appeared on the Soul Arena, she naturally stirred up everyone's protective instincts.
Xiao Wu's opponent was naturally no exception. When he saw that his opponent was a little girl, he even doubted his own eyes for a moment.
First, there was her age. Then, after thinking it over, he realized that this girl was so young, yet she was already a Soul Elder!
For a moment, Qing Nian felt rather troubled for all sorts of reasons.
To reach such strength at her age, the girl before him had to be either rich or noble, and a genius like her definitely had a powerful force backing her.
On the other hand, Xiao Wu was simply far too pretty.
Xiao Wu wore a smile. Though she was only twelve, the innocent smile on her little face still had tremendous killing power.
Especially against a simple-minded, strength-type fellow like Qing Nian, it was even more likely to awaken his urge to protect her.
With that in mind, Qing Nian said awkwardly, "Little sister, why don't you step down? I'm much older than you and have more experience. It wouldn't be good if I accidentally hurt you!"
Qing Nian said this out of genuine kindness.
Xiao Wu understood his good intentions, but for some reason, she found them deeply irritating.
After all, judging by age alone, she could have been this Soul Master's great-grandmother!
Xiao Wu's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her slender waist swayed.
"Why do you talk so much?"
"Hurry up and summon your Martial Soul. Don't blame me for not warning you."
"Once we're standing on the Soul Arena, we're opponents. Stop saying all this pointless nonsense!"
She had thought that after saying that much, he would finally prepare himself for battle.
But when she saw that he still wanted to say something, Xiao Wu was speechless. She could not be bothered to keep talking either, so with a single stride, she shot toward Qing Nian.
Xiao Wu was incredibly fast. The dozen meters between them vanished in an instant. Her long legs sprang lightly, launching her into the air as she kicked toward Qing Nian's neck.
Defense was one of a strength-type Soul Master's greatest strengths. Watching Xiao Wu's seemingly light kick fly toward him,
the honest Qing Nian did not dodge. He could not have dodged even if he wanted to, and he thought to himself,
It was one thing for this little girl to be ignorant, but why was the force behind her so careless too?
She was so young, yet they had sent her to participate in Soul Fighting. He would let her hit him a few times, and once she got tired, she would naturally step down.
But only seconds after that thought arose, Qing Nian regretted it.
Because Xiao Wu's kick had already struck his neck.
The force was not particularly heavy, but to Qing Nian's surprise, the girl before him did not retreat after the kick landed.
Instead, she twisted her ankle and hooked it around his neck. At the same time, her other leg rose and planted itself against Qing Nian's solid chest.
Pink light surged forth, and two gleaming yellow rings appeared around Xiao Wu.
At that moment, she used her Soul Rings to prove to every spectator that she was a Soul Elder.
Xiao Wu's First Soul Ring skill, Waist Bow, activated.
Qing Nian felt a powerful force strike his chest and the back of his neck at the same time.
With a sideways flip from Xiao Wu, his entire body was flung into the air as though he were riding clouds and mist.
Then, after Xiao Wu landed, she took a running step and leaped up to meet Qing Nian's falling body.
Her feet clamped precisely around his waist. With a twist of her slender waist, her body spun once in midair.
A reverse throw sent Qing Nian's falling body flying diagonally away. He bounced off the protective ropes at the edge of the Soul Arena and fell straight beneath the platform.
There was a dull bang.
The entire Fourteenth Division one-on-one Soul Arena fell silent. Not only the spectators, but even the host from earlier stood there with his mouth agape.
No one had expected a Soul Fight to end so quickly, and the winner was actually that little girl who looked only a little over ten years old.
The entire process had not only been swift, but Xiao Wu's Waist Bow looked exceptionally graceful when used against such a massive opponent.
Qing Nian, built like a bull, had not even had time to summon his Martial Soul before the Soul Fight was over.
Because Qing Nian had been courteous, Xiao Wu had not used much Soul Power in her attack.
Combined with his considerable defensive power, he was already staggering back to his feet.
After Qing Nian got up from the ground, he did not say much. Instead, he revealed a smile.
"I was careless. I never expected you to be this formidable, little sister. Thank you for showing mercy!"
After saying that, Qing Nian turned and left directly.
Xiao Wu, however, was still somewhat bothered by the way Qing Nian addressed her.
She felt as though he was looking down on her, which made Xiao Wu very unhappy.
But she did not say anything more. After all, she had already defeated him in an instant.
If she said anything sarcastic or otherwise, she would feel a little bad about it.
Besides, he was not a bad person.
Then, after the host announced Xiao Wu's victory, the entire Great Soul Arena erupted.
After all, she was a beautiful little girl, so powerful, and her fighting style was so decisive. She immediately drew everyone's attention.
The applause did not stop for a moment! When the people in the stands saw how fierce Xiao Wu was, all of them revealed shocked expressions.
Ma Hongjun in particular immediately asked Yun Feng beside him,
"Feng Ge, it's one thing for you to be this strong, but why is Xiao Wu so strong too?"
Yun Feng smiled. During their years at Notting Academy, Yun Feng had never taken the initiative to reveal his strength, and naturally, he had never sparred with Xiao Wu.
But under his influence, Xiao Wu had spent more time cultivating than she had in the original timeline.
So her current strength was certainly greater than it had been in the original timeline.
The matches proceeded at a rapid pace. Perhaps because the fight between Xiao Wu and Qing Nian had provided such a brief but dazzling spectacle, the spectators in the stands had become interested.
But what Yun Feng and the others had not expected was that the Soul Masters in the second Soul Fight would be an internal battle within Shrek Academy.
The two opponents were Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing.
Yun Feng was not worried about this at all, because Tang San was now only a crippled version of himself.
His Soul Power Level was only twenty-five, and Tang San had only forced it up this high over the years through talent and the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Although Yun Feng had continuously used the Rakshasa Three Profound Transformations to reduce the talents of Tang San and the others in order to enhance himself,
most of it had been borne by Tang Hao instead.
After all, Tang Hao was the strongest.
Moreover, both of Tang San's Martial Souls were top-tier Martial Souls. Although one had not awakened, that did not mean its talent did not exist.
That was how he had managed to maintain twenty-five levels of Soul Power.
Otherwise, it would only have been lower. He might not even have made it through the gates of Shrek Academy! Please keep reading, brothers! I don't want to keep waiting anymore!
