Qingyao Phantom vs. Scorching Heaven Fiery Dance

"Don't let it be all show and no substance. Don't waste those precious heavenly treasures!"

"You won't be disappointed. But don't cry if you lose," Zhu Zhuqing snorted.

At the referee's command, the battle officially began.

Huo Wu moved, her figure tracing a dazzling arc through the air. Her martial soul, Fire Shadow, instantly possessed her body, blazing flames rising around her as she charged toward Ling Qianyue and Zhu Zhuqing with scorching heat.

Huo Wushuang followed close behind. The Unicorn Fiery Dragon martial soul appeared, and a resounding dragon roar burst from his mouth. The instant Martial Soul Possession took effect, his body swelled by a full size, dark red scales emerging across his skin.

With a fierce kick off the ground, he shot toward Ling Qianyue like a cannonball.

An Assault System Soul Master and an Agility Attack System Soul Master working together would inevitably start by breaking through the opposing Assault System Soul Master.

Huo Wu was a Control Type Battle Soul Master with formidable offensive abilities as well. Their strategy was therefore clear: focus their attacks on taking out Ling Qianyue, the primary damage dealer, before dealing with Zhu Zhuqing.

Ordinary Agility Attack System Soul Masters were almost naturally countered by Control System Soul Masters. In their eyes, once Ling Qianyue was dealt with, Zhu Zhuqing would have no chance of defeating the two of them.

"Third Soul Skill, Dragon's Wrath!" Huo Wushuang shouted. The third purple soul ring around him lit up, claws emerging from his hands as his body expanded once more. Golden light flickered across the scales on his back, and flames engulfed his entire body.

"Second Soul Skill, Blazing Flame Cage!"

A Fire Shadow identical to Huo Wu suddenly condensed beside her. It waved its hands, and a surge of scorching fire energy howled into existence around Ling Qianyue.

The energy rapidly intertwined in midair, forming a cage. Its walls were made of incomparably blazing flames, their terrifying heat warping the air itself.

"Hey, hey~ Why are you both targeting me? I'm playing support this round~"

Amid the searing heat, Ling Qianyue gripped the Shattered Star Sword. One yellow, two purple!

Three incomparably dazzling soul rings shone around Ling Qianyue—an arrangement that even the Soul Master World, now aware of Whale Rubber's effects, could hardly replicate!

Excitement gleamed in Huo Wu's eyes, as though this was precisely what she had been hoping to see.

"A thousand-year second ring! And that deep-purple third ring! This guy is strong!" Yet her movements did not pause in the slightest. The Fire Shadow whirled through the air, continuing to reinforce the Blazing Flame Cage's seal as it coordinated with Huo Wushuang's approaching attack.

"First Soul Skill, Hell Stab!" A shadowy figure suddenly appeared at her side, claws flashing toward her.

Huo Wu's martial soul was exceptionally unusual: a shadow identical to herself. To some extent, it might have had the faintest connection to a Body Martial Soul.

This gave her effortless control over her own martial soul and Soul Power. She could even easily master special martial soul techniques such as ring fusion.

Thus, even while releasing the Blazing Flame Cage, she could still act to deal with the danger Zhu Zhuqing posed.

Her first soul ring abruptly lit up. "First Soul Skill—Flame Vortex!"

The flames around her suddenly gathered into a rapidly spinning fire vortex three meters tall, enveloping her within.

The Flame Vortex not only strengthened her defenses, but also caused the surrounding temperature to surge, making the air itself seem as though it had been set ablaze.

Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Stab seemed somewhat powerless before this fiery storm. Moments after making contact with the Flame Vortex, her body flashed away, evading its edge.

"Hehe~ Huh?" Huo Wu had just smugly raised her brows when she suddenly frowned. A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes as she looked toward the spot struck by Hell Stab.

The flames there seemed to have been eroded by some force, leaving behind a hollow gap. Only after she mobilized her power did she patch it up.

By now, flames had engulfed half the arena, scorching red motes continuously flashing above both sides.

Huo Wushuang's attack had also reached Ling Qianyue. He clasped all ten fingers together before his chest, raised his hands above his head, and savagely smashed them down at Ling Qianyue, who was trapped within the Blazing Flame Cage!

"Second Soul Skill, Dragon Assault!"

Yet only when he truly closed in and saw Ling Qianyue's current condition did he abruptly realize that something was wrong.

Ling Qianyue appeared to be trapped within the Blazing Flame Cage and continuously taking damage, but at this moment, he looked perfectly unharmed as he raised the Shattered Star Sword.

The Shattered Star Sword lay horizontally before him as Ling Qianyue called out in a low voice:

"Third Soul Skill, Star Pivot Forbidden Domain!"

With the Shattered Star Sword as its core, a Starry Sky Domain fifty meters in diameter suddenly unfolded.

The domain resembled a miniature starry sky, shrouding everything around it—including the flames raging through the air and the stunned Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.

At its highest point, three sword-shaped phantoms radiating power slowly rotated, their blades pointed downward like swords of heavenly punishment.

Space seemed to be imprisoned by an invisible force. Huo Wushuang felt his movement speed suddenly plummet, as if he had fallen into a swamp and could not pull himself free.

His originally swift and fierce attack consequently became sluggish and cumbersome.

"Boom—!"

Amid a roar that resounded throughout the entire arena, Huo Wushuang's attack finally landed. That powerful, heavy blow instantly sent dust and shattered stones flying across the stage.

Yet before everyone's shocked eyes, Ling Qianyue had already walked out of the Blazing Flame Cage like an ordinary man taking a leisurely stroll before the attack arrived.

Calling it a leisurely stroll was relative, of course—compared to Huo Wushuang's slowed attack, he was actually moving very quickly.

Amid the flying sand, Huo Wushuang felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face. He had buffed himself and unleashed his full strength, yet Ling Qianyue had simply evaded his attack. Giving it his all now made him feel like a clown.

Sorry, I didn't let you use your full strength, did I?

"Actually, I wanted to be a Support System Soul Master. Stop treating me like an Assault System Soul Master all the time~"

Ling Qianyue smiled calmly, dodging the strike Huo Wushuang launched after borrowing momentum to flip himself around.

"First Soul Skill—Big Dipper Star Drawing Array!"

Brilliant starlight completely illuminated the sky above the Soul Fighting Arena. Within the Star Screen, the shadows of the Big Dipper Seven Stars appeared above the three sword-shaped phantoms.

Seven streaks of starlight shot across the sky like meteors, plunging unerringly into Zhu Zhuqing's body.

Strength, defense, speed, Spiritual Power, Soul Power recovery, elemental affinity, and control resistance. All seven of his and Zhu Zhuqing's abilities were enhanced!

"Boom!"

At that moment, one of the three Light-Sealing Swords hanging high in the sky suddenly descended. Carrying fierce sword energy, it struck the scales on Huo Wushuang's back squarely.

Huo Wushuang felt an immense force crash into him, his body jolting violently. Cracks actually appeared in the scales on his back!

"Pfft—" Blood sprayed from his mouth as shock filled his eyes. "How could it be this strong?"

"This control-type domain actually possesses such powerful offensive might?!" Huo Wu's lips parted slightly as she continuously moved closer to Huo Wushuang.
