Su Mo Wins

"It's Su Mo and Xiao Wu!"

"Isn't that way too much of a coincidence?"

When Tang San heard that Su Mo was facing Xiao Wu, he spoke in surprise.

Still, he also let out a breath of relief. With Xiao Wu fighting Su Mo, no matter who won or lost, at least there wouldn't be any real danger.

If it had been before, he would definitely have believed that Su Mo was no match for Xiao Wu. But now, he realized he couldn't see through Su Mo, so he had no idea what the result would be.

Perfect. He could use this chance to see what Su Mo was capable of.

"This isn't a coincidence. You're all newly registered newcomers, and all your match counts are zero, so it's very easy for you to be arranged together!"

"Who knows? Tang San, you might even run into Zhu Zhuqing later!"

Dai Mubai smiled and shook his head, explaining it to Tang San, Su Mo, and the other newcomers.

"So that's how it is!"

Only then did Tang San understand.

And under their watchful eyes, Su Mo and Xiao Wu had already entered their match area.

"The two Soul Grandmasters in this match are both newcomers with zero matches. Now let us see which Soul Grandmaster can claim their first victory!"

"Match, begin!"

With the host's announcement, the spirit fight between Su Mo and Xiao Wu officially began.

"Martial soul, summon!"

"Martial Soul Possession!"

Su Mo and Xiao Wu both summoned their martial souls. Su Mo's was the Soul Hunting Spear, with one yellow and one purple soul ring circling his body. Xiao Wu used Martial Soul Possession, with two yellow soul rings circling her.

Although Su Mo didn't want to be too showy, there was nothing he could do. In battle, he had no way to hide his soul rings.

"What?"

"That's actually a Thousand Year Soul Ring..."

"How is that possible? Isn't that his second soul ring?"

"..."

Sure enough, the moment Su Mo's soul ring configuration appeared, the spectators present instantly burst into an uproar, every one of them shocked beyond belief.

"That guy Su Mo's second soul ring really is a Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

"That's amazing..."

Ma Hongjun, who was watching the fight, saw Su Mo release his soul rings for the first time. Even though he had already known about it, seeing it with his own eyes still left him astonished.

Tang San was the same. After seeing with his own eyes that Su Mo's second soul ring was a Thousand Year Soul Ring, he still felt surprised.

While surprised, Tang San also began to worry about Xiao Wu, not knowing whether she could defeat Su Mo.

And under everyone's gaze, down in the Soul Arena, Xiao Wu made the first move.

Whoosh—

It was hard to say whether Xiao Wu counted as a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master or an Agility Attack Type Battle Soul Master, because Xiao Wu was not weak in either attack or speed.

Xiao Wu's figure flickered repeatedly as she tried to close in on Su Mo, then use Waist Bow to defeat him.

If her Waist Bow landed, even a Soul Ancestor would have to go down.

"Your speed isn't bad, but beyond seven steps, the spear is faster!"

Facing Xiao Wu's attack, Su Mo held the Soul Hunting Spear and smiled faintly.

Swish~

Then Su Mo thrust out with his spear, stabbing straight toward Xiao Wu as she charged up in front of him.

"Hmph!"

With her attack route blocked, Xiao Wu frowned and gave a soft snort. Her figure quickly dodged aside, intending to attack Su Mo again from the flank.

Hiss—

But no matter which direction Xiao Wu tried to use to force her way close to Su Mo, what greeted her was always Su Mo's fast and accurate spear tip.

Beyond seven steps, the spear was faster. What it actually meant was that beyond seven steps, one had to swing the spear fast and prevent the enemy from getting close. Su Mo had accomplished that perfectly.

"So strong. Xiao Wu can't get close to Su Mo at all!"

"Su Mo's reactions are way too fast!"

"How on earth did he train that?"

"..."

When Ma Hongjun and the others saw the battle between Su Mo and Xiao Wu, they were all astonished.

Zhu Zhuqing was the same. Although she had already seen that Su Mo's spear technique was good when she watched him fight Dai Mubai, it was even more direct right now.

After Zhu Zhuqing mentally swapped herself in for Xiao Wu, she realized that her speed was not much faster than Xiao Wu's either. She might also have no way to get close to Su Mo.

"Yeah, he's really strong!"

Tang San was also watching Su Mo with a serious expression. He had realized that although Su Mo was only level 22, his physical constitution was terrifyingly strong—even stronger than his. No wonder his Second Soul Ring could absorb a Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"If Xiao Wu can't find a chance to land an attack on Su Mo, she's going to lose!"

Then Tang San began to worry for Xiao Wu.

Although Xiao Wu was very fast, she relied on her own explosive power to increase her speed. She did not innately possess powerful agility attributes the way Zhu Zhuqing did.

If her prolonged attacks failed to break through, then the moment Xiao Wu started to tire would be when Su Mo counterattacked and won!

"Damn it!"

Unable to find an opening to hit Su Mo, Xiao Wu looked somewhat angrily at Su Mo's spear-wielding figure. She felt as if he were like a hedgehog—hard to get close to, and if she was careless, she would get stabbed.

"Second Soul Skill—Charm!"

Xiao Wu gave a cold snort, and after retreating, she immediately unleashed her Second Soul Skill at Su Mo.

Buzz—

A trace of pink flashed through Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes, and an invisible mental impact swept toward Su Mo.

"Charm, huh? Too bad it doesn't work on me!"

Seeing Xiao Wu use her Charm soul skill, the corners of Su Mo's mouth lifted slightly.

The fact that he had very strong resistance to mental attacks was something Bibi Dong had told him. According to Bibi Dong, his mental strength far surpassed ordinary people, so mental-type soul skills used by opponents of the same level would find it very hard to take effect on him.

Sure enough, when Su Mo faced Xiao Wu's Second Soul Skill, Charm, his consciousness did not even waver for an instant. He directly ignored Xiao Wu's Charm attack.

However, Su Mo's Soul Power was not stronger than Xiao Wu's, so after Xiao Wu failed to use Charm, she did not suffer a backlash.

"How is that possible..."

Seeing that her Second Soul Skill was actually ineffective against Su Mo, Xiao Wu immediately froze in disbelief.

An opening!

"Second Soul Skill—Thunderclap Strike!"

The instant he saw Xiao Wu's attention wander, lightning interwove in Su Mo's eyes, and strands of lightning also crackled around his body.

Boom—

Then Su Mo's spear-wielding figure shot forward with afterimages of lightning, vanishing in a flash like a bolt of thunder. In an instant, he appeared in front of Xiao Wu.

Boom—

Finally, Su Mo's figure shifted from extreme speed to complete stillness in an instant. He stopped with perfect control right in front of Xiao Wu, the tip of the Soul Hunting Spear in his hand pointed at Xiao Wu's chest.

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San, watching from the sidelines, cried out in alarm. Only after seeing Su Mo's attack stop did he let out a breath of relief.

"You lost!"

Su Mo looked at Xiao Wu and smiled.

"I... I admit defeat!"

Xiao Wu bit her lower lip. Although she was very unwilling, she had no choice but to admit defeat.

"The match is decided!"

"Contestant Xiao Wu has admitted defeat. Contestant Su Mo wins this match!"

Seeing this, the host quickly announced Su Mo's victory.

"Congratulations, Soul Grandmaster Su Mo. After you leave, you'll still need to update your points yourself!"

"And Soul Grandmaster Xiao Wu as well. Even after losing, you still need to update your points information in time!"

The host then landed in front of Su Mo and Xiao Wu and spoke.

"Next, please welcome contestant Tang San and contestant Zhu Zhuqing onto the stage!"

At the same time Su Mo and Xiao Wu left, the contestants for the next match were promptly announced.

It really was Tang San against Zhu Zhuqing.
