Inside the Soul Fighting Arena of Heaven Dou Royal Academy of Soul Masters.
All the high-level Soul Power students around Ling Qianyue and Zhu Zhuqing's age had already been defeated, yet Ling Qianyue had not even used his Second Soul Skill from beginning to end.
No one of the same rank could challenge them anymore, yet Ling Qianyue and Zhu Zhuqing remained in the Soul Fighting Arena without leaving.
In the spectator stands, three elderly men dressed in black robes threaded with gold sat in the seats of honor, quietly watching below, while Qin Ming stood at their side.
Meng Shenji, the energetic, medium-built man in the middle, stroked his chin. Rather than being angered by Ling Qianyue's somewhat arrogant behavior, he wore a smile as he said, "A few days ago, news came from the imperial family. The girl from the Zhu Family who was engaged to Dai Mubai, the Star Luo Third Prince, had also fled Star Luo.
"At the same time, a rising star from Star Luo Junior Academy of Soul Masters, a genius whose Martial Soul had mutated after birth, left with her.
"I didn't expect them to come to our Heaven Dou."
The fat on Soul Douluo Bai Baoshan's face trembled. "Shenji, can we take them in? That girl's identity..."
Meng Shenji nodded. "As long as no one from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family goes to Star Luo and openly mocks them, there will be no problem. The Star Luo Imperial Family may care far less than you think about the descendants drawn into life-and-death battles in every generation.
"What they care more about is the purity of the bloodline and the stability of imperial power. Personal feelings and fates often seem insignificant before imperial authority.
"Just as their emperor said: an iron-blooded policy. If they die, they die. Joining an academy is nothing serious."
He turned to Qin Ming. "Select two from Yu Tianheng's team. Two against two. Win or lose, this will be the final match."
"Understood, Chief."
In the Soul Fighting Arena, Ling Qianyue and Zhu Zhuqing were sitting cross-legged, recovering the little Soul Power they had expended.
"I heard two young people came to our academy?" A somewhat cold female voice came from below the platform, gradually growing louder.
"I'd like to see whether you can last three minutes against me."
Two figures stepped onto the Soul Fighting Arena. One was a graceful woman with a cold face. Her dark purple hair, green eyes, and emerald-green nails gave her a seductive air.
The other woman was dressed entirely in black. A black veil concealed her face, revealing only a pair of blue eyes and a waterfall of blue hair cascading down her back.
Dugu Yan looked at Ling Qianyue and Zhu Zhuqing on the platform, a trace of anger in her eyes.
Are the ones below all useless? They can't even handle two Soul Grand Masters. How embarrassing.
Ling Qianyue and Zhu Zhuqing stood as well when they saw the newcomers.
"Judging by your appearance, you should be a poison-using Soul Master. Let me warn you in advance—you'd best switch people. Otherwise, you'll suffer later," Ling Qianyue said slowly.
"Hmph, no need. Do you really think you can beat us? Just don't say we're bullying you. Referee!"
The referee nodded to Dugu Yan and called out, "Both sides, state your names."
"Dugu Yan. Martial Soul: Jade Phosphorous Serpent. Level thirty-three Control System Battle Soul Master." Two yellow and one purple Soul Rings circled around her.
"Ye Lingling. Martial Soul: Nine Heart Begonia. Level thirty Support System Tool Soul Master." Ye Lingling's voice was hollow as two yellow Soul Rings appeared.
"Ling Qianyue. Martial Soul: Shattered Star Sword. Level twenty-four Assault Type Battle Soul Master."
"Zhu Zhuqing. Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat. Level twenty-one Agility Attack Battle Soul Master."
Both sides released their Martial Souls at the same time and took up formation, with Ye Lingling standing behind Dugu Yan.
Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan simultaneously completed Martial Soul Possession, their bodies changing. Dugu Yan's aura became more seductive, while Zhu Zhuqing's figure grew even lighter.
Dugu Yan's gaze flicked toward Zhu Zhuqing's chest before she subconsciously glanced down at her own.
Tsk, how did they get so big?
Only then did she marvel at Ling Qianyue and Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Rings. One yellow and one purple—how did they manage that?!
"Match, begin!"
At the referee's command, Dugu Yan launched the first attack. Her First Soul Ring lit up.
"First Soul Skill—Jade Phosphor Red Poison!"
The red poisonous mist first formed an illusory wall behind her, protecting Ye Lingling, before spreading toward Ling Qianyue and Zhu Zhuqing.
Like a surging tide, the toxic mist swept forward with a pungent smell and corrosive effect, swiftly engulfing one corner of the Soul Fighting Arena.
"Now it's my turn to warn you in advance. My poison will make people suffer terribly!"
Dugu Yan said coldly.
"First Soul Skill—Big Dipper Star Drawing Array!"
Seven Star Marks tore across the sky and vanished into the heavens, transforming into stars that formed a vast Big Dipper array. The space above their heads was soaked in starlight.
Seven beams of starlight entered Zhu Zhuqing's body. Her figure flashed lightly, fully displaying the agility of the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul.
First Soul Skill - Netherworld Stab activated in an instant. Her body turned into a streak of dark blue lightning and shot straight toward Dugu Yan's side.
Dugu Yan reacted quickly, retreating with Ye Lingling as her second yellow Soul Ring lit up. "Second Soul Skill—Thousand Snake Strangulation!"
She summoned three phantom Jade Phosphorous Serpents, their bodies coated in green venom as they wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing. Entangled by the Jade Phosphorous Serpents, Zhu Zhuqing found herself unable to break free for the moment.
Dugu Yan withdrew her focus and turned to face the seven streams of sword energy Ling Qianyue had slashed toward her.
Her body moved nimbly through them, stirring waves of poisonous mist as she skillfully defused Ling Qianyue's attacks.
However, Ling Qianyue's sword energy was not easy to withstand. Each strike contained the power of an Assault Type Soul Grandmaster. Though Dugu Yan avoided the vital areas, one stream of sword energy still struck her. A corner of her clothes tore away, exposing fair skin stained with blood.
"Cough, cough." Dugu Yan spat out a trace of blood, shock and anger flashing through her eyes.
"Heal!"
Ye Lingling gave a light shout. The Nine Heart Begonia hovering in her hand emitted a gleaming white radiance, and white petals continuously flowed into Dugu Yan's body. The wound healed almost instantly, restoring her completely.
"Thanks, Ling Ling."
Dugu Yan looked at Ling Qianyue. "Looks like it's better to end this quickly. Third Soul Skill!"
The purple Soul Ring around her suddenly lit up. "Jade Phosphor Purple Poison!"
Dugu Yan's emerald-green eyes turned completely purple, while the green scales on her snake tail became coated in a faint violet glow. A dense cloud of purple mist burst fiercely from her mouth.
The poisonous mist rapidly spread through the air, and Zhu Zhuqing retreated with a frown.
Before the mist even reached her, a nauseating, dizzying sensation had already washed over her. She could even feel the circulation of Soul Power within her becoming sluggish.
Watching the two of them gradually being swallowed by the poisonous mist, Dugu Yan laughed. "Surrender now. I can detoxify you, but I can't guarantee there won't be any poison left behind."
"You're celebrating too soon."
The Shattered Star Sword in Ling Qianyue's hand blazed with light as his purple Second Soul Ring suddenly lit up.
"Second Soul Skill—Four Symbols Constellation Transformation!"
