The Skinny Cat Girl had already used her speed-boosting soul skill, so she was relatively slower now and had yet to catch up.
Facing Fat Mouse's Mouse Fist, Luo Chen used Flying Thunder God Teleportation and appeared behind him. Purple flames ignited on the Peach Blossom Fan in his hand, which he instantly smashed onto Fat Mouse's head.
"Waaah..." Fat Mouse let out a cry. The fur on his face caught fire, but more importantly, Luo Chen's purple flames contained poison, greatly slowing Fat Mouse's speed and reactions.
Fat Mouse had no idea how Luo Chen had gotten behind him. Realizing something was wrong, he shouted and tried to flee, only for Luo Chen to kick him in the legs. Fat Mouse let out a pig-slaughtering scream and leaped straight off the Soul Duel Arena. He lay on the ground, clutching his legs and crying out in agony.
"Oh dear, this mouse probably isn't doing too well..." Luo Chen glanced at him and smiled faintly. He had not used much strength just now; he had only intended to kick him off the stage. However, he had overlooked Ning Rongrong's boost to his strength.
Whether Fat Mouse could recover now depended on his luck.
"You did this to him..." The Skinny Cat Girl had just caught up. Seeing Fat Mouse already sprawled outside the Soul Duel Arena, her eyes widened in shock.
Luo Chen smiled. "Maybe. This mouse is already done for. Fists and kicks have no eyes, after all—I didn't mean to do it. But a wise bird chooses the tree it roosts in. What do you think?"
"You've gone too far. We've been partners for years." The Skinny Cat Girl had completely lost her earlier flirtatious charm. She immediately unleashed her Third Soul Skill, and the nails on all ten fingers instantly lengthened as she clawed at Luo Chen.
This truly was the Skinny Cat Girl's Thousand Year Soul Skill. It was as if she had instantly gained several sharp weapons...
In truth, Luo Chen was fully capable of clashing head-on with Fat Mouse's attacks and the Skinny Cat Girl's Thousand Year Soul Skill. With the Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting his body, he only needed to use Chidori-level ninjutsu, Vajra Palm, or Tianshan Plum Hand.
But Luo Chen was worried that the others from Shrek, or even that Old Bachelor Flander, might be secretly watching, so it was best to act a little more normally.
Luo Chen had already used two segments of Flying Thunder God Teleportation, and he did not want to use the third. He immediately swung the Peach Blossom Fan in his hand, and Black Lightning gathered on it once again before colliding with the Skinny Cat Girl's claws.
Luo Chen's Second Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Lightning, was only nine hundred years old, but it came from a Thunder Dragon soul beast. If fully unleashed, the Skinny Cat Girl would not have been able to withstand it at all. At the moment, Luo Chen was using only part of his Soul Power, leaving merely some Black Lightning on the Peach Blossom Fan.
The Skinny Cat Girl's cat claws were, after all, a Thousand Year Soul Skill. After colliding with the Peach Blossom Fan, she did not retreat and continued attacking Luo Chen.
At this point, Luo Chen also wanted to appear more normal, so he traded blows with the Skinny Cat Girl for over ten seconds.
But the Skinny Cat Girl's Soul Power soon failed to hold out. Her long claws quickly vanished, and afraid that the lightning on Luo Chen's fan would attack her again, she hurriedly stepped back. Yet she failed to notice her footing, twisted her ankle, and fell to the ground.
"Ow..." Luo Chen immediately withdrew the Black Lightning from the Peach Blossom Fan. He came to the Skinny Cat Girl's side, extended a hand, and said with a smile,
"Get up. We can be friends from now on. When our other friends aren't around, we can have a good time together in Suotuo City. I can even introduce you to another Catwoman. She's not very old, but she's a little more fleshy than you..."
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" The Skinny Cat Girl glared at Luo Chen, only to realize that she really had sprained her ankle and that it hurt. After thinking for a moment, she placed her hand in Luo Chen's.
Luo Chen gently pulled the Skinny Cat Girl to her feet. She glanced at him, immediately withdrew her hand, and looked at the host. "I concede."
The host was still staring at the Soul Duel Arena in shock. Only then did he snap out of it and immediately shout, "...This is simply unbelievable! The newly formed Flying Thunder God Combination, two Great Soul Masters below level thirty, actually defeated the Cat and Mouse Combination, who had already won three consecutive matches..."
The Skinny Cat Girl snorted coldly and pulled a blue card from her waist, handing it to Luo Chen. She said flatly, "This is my Soul Master card. You really surprised me. I hope we meet again in the future."
With that, the Skinny Cat Girl walked off the Soul Duel Arena. Because of her sprained ankle, her gait was somewhat unnatural, yet she completely ignored Fat Mouse, who was still lying on the ground.
"A Soul Master card?" Luo Chen knew that Douluo Continent had such things, but he had never seen one. After taking a look, he found that it was similar to a business card from Earth, only more detailed. It listed her name, address, the Advanced Soul Master Academy she had graduated from, and her current occupation...
She was twenty-two years old and actually a female assassin in the Suotuo City Elite Alliance. In reality, that simply meant she was a female soldier who had joined the Suotuo City Guard.
Hehe, not a bad profession. Giving him her card—was that a hint...
Luo Chen immediately put away the Soul Master card. Just then, Ning Rongrong ran over from the other side and happily grabbed Luo Chen's hand. "Little Chen, you're amazing! We actually won..."
Ning Rongrong did not care at all about Luo Chen's interaction with the Skinny Cat Girl just now. It had merely been a normal move during battle, and she had not seen it clearly anyway.
At that moment, the male host excitedly shouted, "This boy with the fan martial soul is truly too powerful! He is already a Great Soul Master at such a young age, and his speed just now actually surpassed the Cat and Mouse Combination. Clearly, that girl's support martial soul is also very powerful. The result of this challenge match has truly exceeded all expectations. I now officially announce that the Flying Thunder God Combination has won..."
A burst of applause and cheers instantly rose from below the stage. Holding Ning Rongrong's hand, Luo Chen stood on the two-versus-two Soul Duel Arena and waved to the audience below before leaving the arena.
Luo Chen glanced toward the second-floor stands and discovered that Yan Ying, the receptionist, was already gone. Hehe, she wanted to run after losing the bet? How could that be possible?
Luo Chen had just led Ning Rongrong out of the Soul Duel Channel when he saw Tang San and Xiao Wu waiting for them. The next match was the Three Five Combination's soul duel.
When Xiao Wu saw Luo Chen, she excitedly said, "Wow, Little Chen, you're amazing! You even defeated two Spirit Venerers above level thirty. Hehe, Rongrong, you must be happy. With Little Chen leading you, you'll soon meet the points requirement."
Tang San's expression was slightly unnatural when he saw Luo Chen. Only after these two soul duels did Tang San truly realize that Luo Chen's strength was never what he had thought it was.
Even so, Tang San still believed that if he used all his trump cards, along with his hidden weapons, his combat power would definitely surpass Luo Chen's. After all, Luo Chen had not displayed any other abilities. In these two matches, most of the techniques he used were variations of the Peach Blossom Fan's two soul skills and two teleportations.
Those alone naturally would not make Tang San, who possessed dozens of hidden weapons and the Clear Sky Hammer, afraid. Tang San believed that if he used all his hidden weapons, he was confident he could kill a Soul King.
Luo Chen chatted with Tang San and Xiao Wu for a while. After Tang San and Xiao Wu went onstage, he saw that their opponents were Tie Long and Tie Hu, just like in the anime, and lost interest in watching. He told Ning Rongrong to watch first while he headed to where they had registered for the two-versus-two match earlier.
At that moment, Luo Chen discovered that Yan Ying, the cashier, was indeed sitting there obediently. When she saw Luo Chen return, her expression immediately changed. She hurriedly lowered her head, her legs lightly crossing together.
Luo Chen approached Yan Ying and said with a smile, "So, Miss, are you trying to go back on your word? When are you taking me to your home...?"
"Who said I was taking you to my home? Hmph, I really didn't expect you to defeat the Cat and Mouse Combination. But when did we ever make a bet?" Yan Ying, the purple-haired girl, raised her head and revealed a faint smile.
Luo Chen was not flustered in the slightest. He said softly, "Haha, is that so? If you dare to deceive me, I'll tell my Dou Dou Jie that you had no authority to arrange this challenge match at all..."
"What? You know Dou Dou?" The purple-haired girl was instantly startled. Dou Dou belonged to the family behind the Great Spirit Arena and was the host of the entire main spirit arena. Her rank was far higher than Yan Ying's. Besides, Yan Ying really had manipulated things behind the scenes just now.
The selection of opponents was supposed to be random.
"Of course. Dou Dou is my sworn older sister. Her martial soul is a pair of beautiful wings." Luo Chen continued shamelessly. How could he possibly know Dou Dou?
"What do you want?" Yan Ying, the cashier girl, gritted her teeth and looked at Luo Chen with flushed cheeks.
