Luo Shen Team VS Häagen-Dazs

The exhibition match was already this spectacular—what about the elimination rounds that followed?

When the time came, weaker teams would go all out to avoid elimination. If powerful teams encountered each other, they would also clash and test one another, perhaps even erupting into a true Soul Sage battle!

To ninety percent of Soul Masters, a Soul Sage was synonymous with power.

"Damn, the thousand Gold Soul Coins I paid were totally worth it. A single exhibition match completely won me over.

Fuck, I can't even imagine the team free-for-all coming next. It's going to be fucking thrilling."

"Tsk, tsk. This Elite Competition will set a precedent for Soul Master battles.

Future Soul Battle matches will no longer be confined to those monotonous Soul Duel Arenas."

"The true battlefield is never on a Soul Duel Arena. The Luo Shen Hall Master understood that deeply, which was why he used divine power to create an independent space for Soul Battles."

"Hehe, I heard from a distant relative in Spirit Hall that after the Soul Battle Space was built, even Super Douluo could enter and fight at full strength without shaking its stability.

Moreover, after the Soul Battle Space is damaged, its ecosystem will recover at an accelerated rate, though it won't return to its original state.

For example, if you shatter a mountain, then sorry, that mountain will no longer exist. But another mountain might form somewhere else."

"Isn't that an independent Small World?"

"That's right. The Luo Shen Hall Master's strength has probably reached that of a true god. Otherwise, how could he create a Small World himself?"

"Don't you know? People can actually live inside these Small Worlds.

As long as the Luo Shen Hall Master permits it, you can remain alive in there forever."

"Wouldn't that mean that, if the Luo Shen Hall Master wished, Soul Beasts could be raised inside to create survival challenges for Soul Masters?"

"Shh! The cultivation rules have changed. Raising Soul Beasts is forbidden. How far we Soul Masters can develop in the future will still require the help of Soul Beasts.

From now on, Soul Beasts and Soul Masters may become partners. They will rise and fall together."

Quite a few bits of "inside information" spread throughout Soul Battle City, while Luo Chuan also announced the top ten contestants of this exhibition match.

Tang Long, Yu Tianheng, Feng Xiaotian, Tang San, Xu Yan, Ma Hongjun, Huo Wushuang, Dai Weisi, Xie Yue, and Leng Yan.

Luo Chuan's gaze flickered as he looked toward a young man. He was a disciple of a Secluded Sect from the Star Luo Empire and also a God Inheritance Holder.

Noticing Luo Chuan's gaze, Xu Yan cupped his hands in greeting, his attitude extremely respectful.

Luo Chuan nodded, then his gaze swept over several more figures. There was also Nan Tian, a young prodigy from War Academy brought by the Star Luo Empire. Wielding a halberd that swept through all directions, he too was a God Inheritance Holder.

There was also Hu Yanli, a God Inheritance Holder from the Elephant Armor Sect.

The young sect master of the Saint Dragon Sect was likewise a God Inheritance Holder, with Soul Power that had reached the Soul Sage realm.

Among the Three Upper Sects, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had no divine inheritance, yet two of the Lower Four Sects had found god inheritances.

There were naturally also sects within the Star Luo Empire whose sect masters were only Soul Sages but who possessed god inheritances.

One such sect was the Zither Sect. Its martial soul was the Seven String Zither, and its young sect master, Qin Tian, was a God Inheritance Holder. The god he inherited from was even a Level Two God.

Luo Chuan swept his eyes across them one by one, then waved his hand and distributed the rewards. "Soul Battle City also has auction houses, where soul bones, Spirit Ascension Cards, pills, weapons, Soul Tools, and more will be sold or auctioned. While you are resting, those interested may take a look."

Luo Chuan said no more. He rose and left with the others.

The true elimination rounds would begin three days later.

On the back mountain of Luo Shen Hall, Yun Yun stood in a plain dress, her expression gloomy and her delicate brows slightly furrowed. Gazing at the green mountains and white clouds before her, she was lost in thought.

She had come to Douluo Continent a year ago. She wondered how things were on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Who would have thought that a single Space Rift would bring us to this world?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King had transformed into a burly man, his purple hair flying in the wind.

Yun Yun did not turn around. The Amethyst Winged Lion King continued, "Perhaps we still have a chance to return. But I don't want to go back."

"In this world, your strength places you among the very best. But on the Dou Qi Continent, you could only be considered low-tier." Yun Yun struck straight at the heart of the matter. The Amethyst Winged Lion King fell silent before saying, "The Hall Master's strength has already broken this world's limits. Even on the Dou Qi Continent, he would not be weak."

"I don't know." Yun Yun shook her head. She was merely a Dou Huang—how could she know the terror of a Dou Sheng?

"My strength would not be considered top-tier even in your world!" Luo Chuan's voice suddenly rang out. The Amethyst Winged Lion King respectfully bowed. "Greetings, Hall Master."

"Mm. You may leave."

"Yes!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King departed.

With her back to Luo Chuan, Yun Yun's lovely face looked somewhat unnatural.

"How do you know the strength of the experts from our world? Although I only have the cultivation of a Dou Huang, even a Limit Douluo is no match for me." Yun Yun's strength had already surpassed the Limit Douluo level.

In just half a month on Douluo Continent, she had sensed spatial fluctuations. Traveling through space was no longer difficult for her.

"An early-stage Dou Huang is equivalent to a demigod, while a peak Dou Huang is equivalent to a Level Three God. A Dou Zong corresponds to Level Two Gods and Level One Gods.

As for God Kings, they should be at the Honored One realm." Luo Chuan made his assessment. Yun Yun nodded in agreement, only to find herself lifted into a warm embrace.

Yun Yun lowered her head, her cheeks flushing pink.

"Still shy?" Luo Chuan lifted Yun Yun from behind and placed her on his lap.

Yun Yun gently rested her cheek against Luo Chuan's chest without speaking.

Above the cliff, white clouds drifted lightly as the two leaned against each other. Luo Chuan suddenly spoke. "Yun Yun, do you want to return?"

"How could returning be so easy?" Yun Yun shook her head, then gently raised her eyes to look at Luo Chuan.

"If you were given a chance to go back, would you?" Luo Chuan asked again.

"No."

"Oh? Why?" Luo Chuan lowered his head to look at Yun Yun. Their eyes met, but Yun Yun's pale violet eyes shifted evasively as she turned her face aside, refusing to look at him.

"I... I'm doing quite well here."

"Is that all? Isn't there any part of it because of me?" Luo Chuan frowned slightly and reached out, turning Yun Yun's face back toward him.

Yun Yun turned her face back toward Luo Chuan's chest again, refusing to answer him.

"Not answering? Does that mean you're admitting it?" Luo Chuan said with a smile.

Yun Yun blushed. This bastard—she was already in his arms, and he was still asking questions like that? He was definitely doing it on purpose!

"Yun Yun?"

"Mm." Yun Yun answered softly. Looking at her bashful face, Luo Chuan slowly lifted her flawless, delicate chin.

"W-What are you trying to do?" Yun Yun panicked. This guy, he wouldn't—

"Mmph~"

Her red lips were forcefully claimed by Luo Chuan's kiss, and Yun Yun's delicate body stiffened.

So, he was finally going to make a move on her? In truth, this moment had come a little later than Yun Yun had expected.

"I'll take you back. One day, for sure!" Luo Chuan believed that he would be able to return to the Dou Qi Continent.

"I-It's fine." Yun Yun bit her red lips, still immersed in that kiss from moments ago.

She had thought she was already prepared. After all, he had touched and seen every part of her in their daily lives; a kiss was bound to happen sooner or later.

But she had still been wrong. That kiss left her unable to adjust for a long while.
