Dark Demon Evil God...Cat!

In the future video—the Soul Arena.

After the members of the Three Five Combination and the Li Mao Combination had all stepped onto the stage one after another,

a host in a tuxedo stood in the center. He cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Next is the eighth two-versus-two Soul Battle at our Twelve Soul Arena. The competitors are four powerful Soul Elders. To my left is the Three Five Combination: Xiao Wu, who possesses the Jade Rabbit Beast Martial Soul, and her partner Tang San, who possesses the Blue Silver Grass Weapon Martial Soul."

As the host spoke, the scene shifted to the composed-looking Tang San and the lively, bouncing Xiao Wu.

At the same time, the spectators in the stands marveled at how young the two were.

"And to my right is the Li Mao Combination!"

"They are Zhu Zhuqing, who possesses the 'Dark Demonic Evil God Cat' Beast Martial Soul, and Ning Rongrong, who possesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Weapon Martial Soul!" The host turned his gaze to the right, and the video shifted with him, focusing on the two beautiful girls, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—Ning Rongrong!

She should be Sect Master Ning's daughter, right?

Aside from Sect Master Ning's daughter, where did the other three youngsters come from?

Jade Rabbit Beast Martial Soul? Blue Silver Grass? And what was this Dark Demonic Evil God Cat that sounded so formidable?

I only knew of a legendary Soul Beast called the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but this Dark Demonic Evil God Cat...

The barrage erupted with discussion.

In reality, Zhu Zhuqing, one of the people involved, began to feel doubtful upon hearing the host's introduction in the video. Was that person in the video really her?

After all, her Martial Soul was the Zhu Clan of the Star Luo Empire's Hell Spirit Cat. What was this so-called Dark Demonic Evil God Cat?

If it really was her, what had happened in the future for her Martial Soul to change from the Hell Spirit Cat into this so-called Dark Demonic Evil God Cat?

Zhu Zhuqing was filled with curiosity.

In the video, after briefly introducing the two teams, the host wasted no more words and directly announced the start of the match!

All four activated their Martial Souls at the same time, and Soul Rings lit up around them one after another. Each of them had three Soul Rings, all colored two yellow and one purple!

However, Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Rings were slightly different. Though their main colors were still two yellow and one purple, their edges carried a faint black tint, a rather gloomy shade of black! It might not have been obvious under normal circumstances, but when their Soul Rings were compared side by side, the difference became very clear.

Huh? There seemed to be something wrong with Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Rings.

Their colors were indeed a little strange.

And the pressure they gave off was so intense!

Looks like that Dark Demonic Evil God Cat was no ordinary Martial Soul...

Who knew what clan she came from...

In the video.

A cat-shaped Martial Soul phantom flickered around Zhu Zhuqing's body before merging into her. Immediately afterward, her entire body began to change.

A pair of black cat ears grew from her head, and her pitch-black eyes turned a fierce blood-red. Sharp claws extended from her hands, gleaming with a faint, shadowy black light!

At that moment, her entire aura became eerie and gloomy—ferocious and violent!

In reality.

Zhu Zhuqing saw what she looked like after Martial Soul Possession in the video and felt the power that could be sensed so clearly even through the recording. She was utterly shaken!

She became even less certain whether that person was truly her. Even if they shared the same name and appearance, could someone's Martial Soul really change so completely?

What exactly had her future self experienced?

What had caused such an enormous transformation?

Zhu Zhuqing was filled with curiosity.

In the video.

After the host announced the start,

the four possessed their Martial Souls and immediately began fighting.

Ning Rongrong moved first. The three Soul Rings around her lit up in succession, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shot out three beams of light that landed on Zhu Zhuqing, causing her aura to swell to unprecedented heights!

Once her task was complete, Ning Rongrong did not hesitate and jumped straight off the arena. After all, she was a support-type Soul Master. Her role was to enhance her teammate. Now that she had completed her task, it did not matter whether she stayed on the stage.

If she insisted on remaining, she might just get beaten up by the opponents. So she decisively stepped down.

Ning Rongrong's cowardly retreat left Tang San, who had just been about to attack her, extremely frustrated. He had already prepared his Soul Skill and was ready to send the opposing support away directly. Yet she did not linger at all. After buffing her teammate, she voluntarily jumped off the stage. Did she have to be that timid?

However, although Ning Rongrong's departure was somewhat unexpected, it did not affect Tang San. Blue-black vines spread across the ground like great blue-black serpents silently writhing, covering a radius of more than ten meters around him and nearly half the Soul Arena.

Tang San calmly watched Zhu Zhuqing. He was not anxious in the slightest. Although the battle had only just begun and his opponent's Martial Soul seemed far from simple, he believed he had victory in hand.

Her Martial Soul was a cat, and Martial Souls like that were generally agility-attack types. As a control-type battle Soul Master, he naturally countered Zhu Zhuqing's agility-attack type—especially in an arena, where Zhu Zhuqing's nimbleness could not be brought into full play.

There had been no suspense in this battle from the very beginning.

Tang San thought confidently.

As the Blue Silver Grass spread toward her, Zhu Zhuqing's first Soul Ring lit up. Immediately afterward, her claws became shrouded in a gloomy black glow!

First Soul Skill: Shadow Assassination!

In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing became a shadow. Her speed soared, as swift as lightning!

Tang San was startled. Zhu Zhuqing's speed had clearly exceeded his expectations.

By then, his eyes were already covered in a layer of purple light. Perhaps Zhu Zhuqing's figure was difficult for others to make out, but how could he, who had practiced Hidden Weapons diligently for so long, fail to see her clearly with the Purple Demon Eyes?

But seeing clearly was one thing; reacting in time was another.

Even if his eyes could see and his mind could keep up, his body could not move as fast as his thoughts. Thus, Tang San was simply unable to react.

At the critical moment.

Just as Tang San could no longer avoid the claw, Xiao Wu's third Soul Ring lit up. In the next instant, she actually teleported directly in front of Tang San, seemingly intending to take Zhu Zhuqing's claw in his place.

No! Xiao Wu!

Tang San's eyes nearly split with rage, but he could not stop her at all. He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Wu took Zhu Zhuqing's attack.

"Rip!"

The claws pierced flesh. Zhu Zhuqing retreated the moment she struck, swiftly pulling away from the two of them.

After taking Zhu Zhuqing's claw head-on, Xiao Wu had five claw marks across her chest. Fortunately, they did not appear deep and had only injured the surface of her flesh. Clearly, Zhu Zhuqing had withdrawn most of her strength at the last moment.

Yet even after withdrawing most of her strength, the remaining force was still more than Xiao Wu could withstand. Her body went limp as she collapsed into Tang San's arms.
