Six Styles Show Their Might (New Author Seeking Votes!!! TvT)

Huo Rui's opponent was a burly man standing over two meters tall. Judging by his rock-like muscles, he was most likely a Strength Attack System soul master.

"Little sister, I think you should just admit defeat. If I'm not careful, it won't be good if your tiny frame gets bumped or bruised."

The big man earnestly tried to persuade her. He seemed like a decent person, at least—not the sort to spout filthy remarks.

Behind her mask, a trace of displeasure flashed across Huo Rui's face. Ye Wen often filled her head with the idea that women were no inferior to men, and she had no intention of falling behind anyone.

"We'll settle it with our fists, Uncle. Let me remind you—underestimating me will cost you. Heavenly Path Senior Sister, Level 32 Strength Attack System Battle Soul Elder. Martial Soul: Heart."

The burly man had no intention of continuing the conversation. Frowning, he said in a deep voice, "Xiong Ba, Level 38 Strength Attack System Soul Elder. Martial Soul: black bear."

Seeing the enormous disparity between the two onstage, the spectators began voicing their opinions.

"That little girl is definitely going to lose. Xiong Ba is a rising star lately. He's already on a nine-win streak and is about to advance to Bronze Soul Fighter. His black bear Martial Soul has terrifying defense, and his strength is unbelievable. An ordinary Soul Elder would be dead or crippled if he got hit by him."

"A heart? There's a Martial Soul like that? What can it even do? That little girl is just throwing her life away."

"Tch! Son of a bitch! I was hoping to win my money back off this newcomer, but she actually has a useless Martial Soul."

Ye Wen merely watched coldly. If idle gossip alone could knock someone down, then that person would never amount to much in the future. Back when Ye Wen had been alone and destitute, he had relied on thick skin and unyielding willpower to get into college.

Besides, Ye Wen had absolute confidence in Huo Rui. Whether in strength, technique, or Martial Soul quality, Huo Rui had already reached the peak of ordinary soul masters.

At that moment, the big man instantly completed Martial Soul Possession. Three bright yellow Hundred-Year Soul Rings appeared around him, making him look imposing and mighty.

Yet Ye Wen shook his head when he saw it. It seemed this burly man truly was a commoner soul master.

The black bear Martial Soul could only be considered among the best of ordinary Martial Souls. Compared to high-grade Martial Souls, it lacked attribute enhancements. Its standing among Martial Souls was only slightly better than Blind Douluo's Lone Wolf Martial Soul. Aside from boosting basic physical strength, it was simply an ordinary beast Martial Soul.

Seeing that Huo Rui still had not summoned her soul rings, the big man grew annoyed. He decided to teach this inexperienced little girl a painful lesson. A commoner soul master being this arrogant was simply courting death.

Third Soul Skill: Frenzied Bear Strike!

The big man roared out the name of his soul skill and charged at Huo Rui, his momentum as terrifying as a wild horse breaking free of its reins.

The dozens of meters between them vanished in an instant. His fist, as large as a sandbag, smashed straight toward Huo Rui's body without hesitation.

Huo Rui remained utterly calm. Compared to her younger brother's monstrous close-combat ability, this burly man was far inferior, whether in strength or technique.

Only when his fist was about to strike her did Huo Rui push off with her feet and vanish from the spot.

Six Styles: Flash Step

By concentrating a massive amount of Soul Power in the soles of the feet, explosively releasing it through a step, and combining it with the body's exertion techniques, one could accelerate in an instant like a startled rabbit leaping away. To ordinary people, it looked no different from teleportation.

In nearly the blink of an eye, just as the big man realized Huo Rui had disappeared, he felt a sharp pain explode in his lower back. His entire body was sent flying off the Soul Dueling Platform.

"Ohohoh—"

The audience erupted.

Most of them were commoners who had paid to watch soul masters fight purely to satisfy their longing for that profession. They could not understand the techniques involved, but the sight of a little girl instantly defeating a burly man created such a striking contrast that their blood boiled. Adrenaline surged through their bodies as they cheered wildly.

The big man came to his senses as well. Being knocked off the platform meant he had completely lost. Although he had fallen one point short of advancing, he bore no grudge. He only felt that every generation produced new talents. He had never expected this little girl, who clearly possessed a useless Martial Soul, to have such astonishing strength.

Unlike a certain Buddha, who had clearly defeated the Iron Hammer brothers but, just because they had injured Xiao Wu, still wanted to condemn them to the path of death and take their lives. That was truly a crooked and evil way.

After a while, it was Huo Quan's turn to take the stage. Having watched Huo Rui's battle, his opponent seemed extremely wary of him and immediately summoned his perfect soul ring configuration of two yellow and one purple ring.

"Mountain Cat, Level 39 Agility Attack System Soul Elder. Martial Soul: Striped Cat."

"Heavenly Path Second Senior Brother, Level 35 Strength Attack System Battle Soul Elder. Martial Soul: Body."

After completing the formalities of a soul master duel, neither side rushed to attack. Instead, they observed their opponent.

"A Striped Cat? It's barely decent among high-grade Martial Souls. Choosing the Agility Attack System path isn't wrong either. I just wonder what soul skills his rings grant him," Huo Quan thought to himself.

His opponent, Mountain Cat, was also carefully sizing up Huo Quan. His outfit was identical to Huo Rui's, and the two large words on his chest were just as eye-catching.

"A Body Martial Soul—another one of these strange beast Martial Souls. And he isn't displaying his soul rings. Is he as absolutely confident in his strength as that little girl? Better play it safe and test this brat first."

First Soul Skill: Ghostly Steps.

Mountain Cat's First Soul Ring lit up, and his entire body began moving rapidly. Numerous afterimages appeared behind him, quickly filling the entire Soul Dueling Platform.

"A bewilderment-type soul skill. Interesting," Huo Quan muttered.

The afterimages made it impossible to distinguish which one was the real Mountain Cat. They gradually began closing in on Huo Quan.

Huo Quan did not rush to attack. Instead, he closed his eyes. The Body Martial Soul not only granted him complete control over his body, but also gave him astonishingly sharp five senses.

In an instant, Huo Quan's eyes flew open as he stared at one spot on the Soul Dueling Platform, then shot forward.

Six Styles: Finger Gun: Sixfold Strike!!!!!!

Before Mountain Cat could react, six bloody holes appeared across his body. Though none were fatal, they still drew out a horrifying scream.

"Ahhh—!"

Seeing the blood around Mountain Cat, the spectators were startled as well. They had not expected the two, who had just been testing each other, to determine victory and defeat in an instant. Mountain Cat was now curled up on the ground, having slipped into a state of suspended death from excessive blood loss.

"The winner is Heavenly Path Second Senior Brother." To prevent anyone from dying, the referee beside the Soul Dueling Platform hurriedly announced the verdict and called over medical personnel to carry Mountain Cat away. If someone died in a duel that was not to the death, his performance rating would be docked.
