Resist an attack from a Titled Douluo?!

The moment those words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding beneath a clear sky. Qian Renxue was instantly dumbfounded.

Her lips trembled slightly as Qian Renxue stared at Su Xian in disbelief, her breathing growing hurried. "Th-this thing... where did you get it?"

It could withstand an attack at the level of a Titled Douluo. Even with her Soul Bone, she could not accomplish such a thing!

Such a tiny mask actually possessed such tremendous power.

Together with the Immortal Herbs and the Mysterious Heaven Skill Su Xian had shown her before, all of it was something she had never seen before. Everything about it was deeply suspicious.

Knowing that Qian Renxue would ask, Su Xian could not help sighing as he looked at her curious, bewildered expression.

At a time like this, he could come up with countless excuses and brush it off however he wanted, just as he had with Xue Ye.

However, he did not intend to do that...

Looking at Qian Renxue sincerely, Su Xian wore an apologetic expression. "I promised I wouldn't lie to you again. Can I tell you when I'm ready to?"

His eyes shimmered as though a river of time surged within them, stirring waves of guilt and sincerity.

He still was not prepared to be completely honest with her. After all, he was a transmigrator, and he was afraid Qian Renxue might not be able to accept it.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue did not get angry at all. Instead, she was deeply moved. Su Xian remembered his promise rather than casually brushing her off.

He truly remembered what he had told her!

Her eyes reddened slightly, yet a captivating smile blossomed across Qian Renxue's face like a hundred flowers in bloom.

She gently took Su Xian's hand in both of hers, cradling it as carefully as a flower. Gazing deeply at the man before her, she said, "Then tell me once you've thought it through. From now on... I won't ask you again either."

"Mm."

A warmth like home flooded Su Xian's heart. He was deeply touched, and a knowing smile appeared on his face as he nodded earnestly.

That was the charm of a good wife. She would never make things difficult for you, only silently remain by your side, holding your hand and growing old together with you...

"I'll put it on for you."

His lips curling slightly, Su Xian took the mask and gently put it on Qian Renxue.

The phoenix's eyes on the mask seemed to blend perfectly with her own. Its golden decorative tail feathers slipped into the tips of her hair, merging with her smooth golden locks without looking the least bit out of place.

"I'll put yours on too."

With a faintly playful smile, Qian Renxue took Su Xian's mask. It depicted a golden flying dragon and was equally exquisite.

As Qian Renxue's hand reached toward him, Su Xian could not help moving his lips, lightly brushing them over her palm.

"So sweet!"

Qian Renxue's heart suddenly trembled. She glared at Su Xian, bashful and helpless. Only after steadying herself did she put the mask on him.

"This is a Godly Zhuge Crossbow. If you run into danger, take this out."

Knowing that Qian Renxue would definitely not reveal her strength during Soul Arena matches, Su Xian took out another Godly Zhuge Crossbow from his Storage Ring.

In battles at the Soul Elder level, it was powerful enough to kill, and more importantly, it did not require enormous amounts of Soul Power to operate.

"Mm."

Without asking any questions, Qian Renxue accepted the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and placed it into her Storage Ring.

The two then came to the reception desk in District 10 to register for Soul Arena matches.

After a simple registration of their information and some testing, Su Xian received an Iron Soul Badge.

However, when the receptionist saw that Su Xian's Martial Soul was a Swan, her expression visibly changed in surprise.

Of course, it was not something she had the authority to interfere with. Watching her words and actions was the key to a long life, especially since the royal family was also one of the Soul Arena's owners.

However, when she saw the information Qian Renxue had filled in, a thousand Grass Mud Horses suddenly galloped through her mind.

Damn it!

You registered with Soul Power at level three? Are you messing with me?

At your level, you don't even have a single soul skill. You'd have to fight purely with brute force. Who could you possibly beat?!

Cursing inwardly, the receptionist maintained a kindly smile. "I'm very sorry, ma'am, but the Soul Arena's minimum requirement is that you must be a Soul Master to participate."

"Why don't... you participate instead?"

Having expected this outcome, Qian Renxue was not surprised. She looked at Su Xian with a somewhat disappointed gaze.

Su Xian:!!

No!

Absolutely not!

What kind of joke was this? What was the point of doing this alone?!

It was like going to the movies and buying yourself seat 20 in row 5 while buying your girlfriend seat 14 in row 13. You thought it was romantic, but in reality, you just looked like a complete idiot!

"The Soul Arena's rules are made by people too. The two of us are only participating in a two-person Soul Arena match. I can fight two opponents by myself," Su Xian said calmly, without getting angry.

"This..."

The receptionist hesitated, but when she saw the gold card and gold coins Su Xian produced, she immediately knew what to do.

"Your High... I'll handle it right away."

After a round of quick operations, the receptionist immediately entered Qian Renxue's information into the database. Once Su Xian and Qian Renxue left, she promptly reported the matter to her supervisor.

Arriving at the two-on-two Soul Arena area, Su Xian and Qian Renxue registered for two-on-two Soul Badges before going to the railing to watch the matches.

On the stage, two teams were locked in fierce combat. Both were teams of Soul Grand Masters. The Martial Souls of one pair were the Beast Martial Souls Earth Bear and Tooth Dog, while those of the other pair were the Plant Martial Souls Man-eating Flower and Purple Thorns.

Defense and agility-type Soul Masters versus control and assault-type Soul Masters—it truly was a fine matchup.

The two sides were evenly matched, their soul skills and Soul Power colliding fiercely and setting the entire audience area ablaze with excitement.

Watching the clumsy battle on the stage, Qian Renxue did not feel much interest, but a cheerful smile rested on her face as she quietly leaned against Su Xian's side.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?"

As the two watched, a surprised voice suddenly rang out behind them.

Su Xian turned around, and his expression immediately became somewhat strange.

The newcomer was a man in his twenties. His features were handsome and resolute, his figure tall and lean, and his short brownish hair was paired with slanted bangs in front and a short ponytail behind.

He wore the distinctive instructor's uniform of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Every detail was neat and orderly, making him appear disciplined, fresh, and clean.

The reason Su Xian found it strange was because this man was named Qin Ming!

That was right, he was the most outstanding disciple to graduate from Shrek Academy, at least for the time being. Ten years later, he would become the second-youngest Soul Emperor on the continent!

After graduating from Shrek, he had joined the Royal Academy last year. Though young, he had already begun to show extraordinary promise.

At twenty years old and level 47, a Soul Ancestor, he had more than enough standing to make the other Royal Academy instructors unwilling to underestimate him.

"Teacher Qin, did you come here to watch Soul Arena matches as well?" Su Xian greeted him curiously.

Qin Ming smiled and shook his head. Where would he find the time for that? He answered directly, "The Soul Master Competition is about to begin, so I came specifically to train the students."

"I see." Su Xian immediately understood.

Two of the teams participating this year had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. He had not expected the academy to assign Qin Ming this task. It seemed they truly held Qin Ming in high regard!
