Practical Combat 2

Seeing the flames erupt from her opponent's body, Rou'er smiled gently, though her voice carried a hint of helplessness. "You should get down."

Her claws slashed fiercely at him. Wang Ming had already raised an arm to block, but just as he defended his handsome face from the claws—

Rou'er's right foot had already kicked into his abdomen, sending him flying off the stage!

The move was so smooth that every man present instinctively covered his own stomach!

Ye Lian curled her lips in satisfaction and said with a soft laugh, "Rou'er wins the first match."

Then, she pointed at two more people: Zhou Yurou beside Lin Li, and Ling Xuan, who was immediately checking Wang Ming's injuries.

When Zhou Yurou heard this, it felt as though the sky was about to collapse!

She did not want to go! Going up there meant getting beaten up. If she had known, she would not have acted so cheaply!

Ling Xuan, meanwhile, was so excited he nearly jumped up. His eyes were filled with excitement and ill intent.

At last, he could get revenge!

"Ling Xuan, go!" Wang Ning shouted.

Even Wang Ming, still clutching his stomach, ignored the pain and immediately shouted, "Go!"

Rou'er and Gao Zhuang joined in as well.

Hearing them, Lin Li opened her mouth to cheer, then stopped. She stared gloomily at them.

Rou'er, Wang Ning, Wang Ming, and the others: Why did a chill suddenly run down their backs?

Still, they were practically one step away from raising banners and shouting encouragement at the top of their lungs.

Zhou Yurou on the stage: Was I really that deserving of a beating?!

Hearing the group of jokers shouting below, Ling Xuan nearly laughed out loud. A trace of sympathy appeared in his gaze as he looked at Zhou Yurou.

Zhou Yurou: What was wrong with him?!

Furiously, Zhou Yurou summoned her Martial Soul. A pure lotus flower appeared in her hand, while a yellow Spirit Ring slowly floated around it.

It made her appear exceptionally holy and elegant.

Lin Li could not help nodding. She had to admit that when her good sister released her Martial Soul, she was quite deceptive! Perfect for being a vase!

However, Ling Xuan's Martial Soul carried an extremely aggressive aura. Those densely packed eyes on the tree did not look benevolent from any angle.

Both Ling Xuan and Zhou Yurou were Control System Battle Spirit Masters. What they competed for was the initiative.

The instant Ling Xuan activated his Martial Soul, Zhou Yurou released her First Spirit Ability.

Gentle Breeze!

As the lotus flower swayed slightly, a heart-soothing fragrance drifted from its stamen, distant and enchanting.

Yet Ling Xuan merely watched her with a cheerful smile. At some point, he had plugged his nose with the leaves of his Martial Soul!

Zhou Yurou was absolutely furious!

Suddenly, a leaf shot toward her. Before Zhou Yurou could even react, she was instantly restrained and dragged into the illusion of his Martial Soul.

Lin Li let out a quiet sigh at that moment. The outcome had already been decided.

There was nothing more to watch. Lin Li saw Ling Xuan show no tenderness toward women as he "sent" Zhou Yurou off the stage.

Seeing the two leave the stage, Ye Lian was unsurprised by the result. She said flatly, "Ling Xuan wins this match!"

Ling Xuan's victory drew cheers from many people present, making Lin Li wonder just how many infuriating things Zhou Yurou had done.

Then came another match, Rou'er against Ling Xuan. Naturally, it ended with Ling Xuan's victory once again.

After Ling Xuan and Rou'er stepped down, a man dressed in black walked up. He was broad-shouldered and powerfully built, exuding a fierce aura.

Ye Lian glanced at Lin Li and said, "This is your opponent. Yellow River Soul Master, holder of a Silver Battle Soul Badge from Saint Er Grand Battle Soul Arena. He is your opponent as well."

Ye Lian called to Huang He on the stage, "Yellow River Soul Master, this is the genius I told you about. Mind your strength later."

The broad-shouldered man on the stage immediately replied, "Don't worry, Principal Ye. I'll definitely watch my strength."

Standing on the stage, Huang He released his Martial Soul. Two yellow and one purple Spirit Rings slowly appeared around it.

His Martial Soul was a bear-type Martial Soul known as the Blazing Claw Exploding Bear.

Lin Li also wanted to test her strength. With a tap of her toes, she vanished, then reappeared on the stage.

Martial Soul Possession. A pitch-black phoenix shadow flashed into view. A clear and pleasant phoenix cry resounded across the entire stage as Lin Li was suddenly enveloped by a pair of pitch-black Phoenix Wings.

Two yellow Spirit Rings slowly revolved around her body. A distorted wave of heat spread outward from her, only to be followed by an extreme chill.

Only then did Huang He understand why Ye Lian had told him to use his full strength when inviting him here, to temper the other party.

At first, he had thought that, as the school principal, she was simply strict. Now he realized that if he did not use all his strength, he might actually lose.

Even Soul Elders who fought him in the Battle Arena might not be able to release such a twisted heat wave, much less the faint chill he could feel behind it.

Yet this was merely released automatically by the other party's Martial Soul Possession, not even one of her Spirit Abilities.

Huang He suddenly let out a roar. "Be careful, little girl! First Spirit Ability, Raging Bear Hammer!"

His arm seemed to transform instantly into a massive hammer, about to smash down at her. Lin Li frowned as Carefree Steps began circulating rapidly.

The giant hammer slammed fiercely into the ground, instantly cracking the stage in several places.

First Spirit Ability, Blood Phoenix Returns to Nest!

Lin Li roared inwardly, and the temperature of the stage abruptly soared.

Dark-red flames ignited across her body. Her overall attributes became twice what they had been when she first obtained this Spirit Ring!

The flames blazed over her body like the most scorching feathered robe.

Huang He suddenly realized that the strange temperature was continuously evaporating his Soul Power.

He was greatly alarmed and immediately roared, "Third Spirit Ability, Rage of the Raging Bear! Second Spirit Ability, Crimson Flame Bear Strike!"

The Third and Second Spirit Rings lit up simultaneously.

At that moment, Huang He seemed to truly become an enormous Blazing Claw Exploding Bear.

His hands turned into bear claws, and the blazing flames burning upon them gave them an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Lin Li narrowed her eyes. With Carefree Steps and the boost from her First Spirit Ability, she was extremely fast.

She barely avoided the frontal attack, but was still injured by the force of the shockwave it unleashed.

A streak of blood suddenly ran from the corner of Lin Li's mouth.

"Xiao Li, admit defeat! You're bleeding!" Seeing the blood at the corner of Lin Li's mouth, Zhou Yurou immediately panicked and shouted at her on the stage.

Hearing Zhou Yurou's words, Lin Li sighed. But a cold glint flashed through her Phoenix Eyes.

Second Spirit Ability, Phoenix Feather Repentance of the Sacred!

Lin Li slowly rose into the air, and feather after feather instantly drifted down from the sky.

The feathers were ethereal and beautiful. As a Spirit Ability granted by the Sinful Demon Feather, and her first thousand-year Spirit Ring, its attack power was unquestionably formidable.

The phoenix feathers she had casually released while fighting Ling Xuan earlier possessed less than one-fifth of their original power, yet they had still easily shattered his First Spirit Ability.

Now, with their full power unleashed, every phoenix feather was beautiful to the extreme.

Even the tips of the phoenix feathers carried traces of Blood Red light, appearing especially eerie beneath the sunlight.

Huang He, however, felt an intense threat. First Spirit Ability, Raging Bear Hammer!

His violent fist, like a hammer, was about to smash fiercely into the dense, sky-filling black snow.

But Lin Li curled her lips. Would that work?
