What Was He Thinking?

"Ha! Qin He's move was incredible! Spirit Hall Academy came in all swaggering, six of them were beaten into surrender, and one was directly wooed away! Spirit Hall is going to lose a lot of face this time!"

Principal Zhao Chong looked thrilled. As he watched Qin He's retreating figure, it was as though he were looking at his own grandson!

A talent!

An absolute talent!

Notting Academy's plaza.

The Exchange Meeting between Spirit Hall and Notting Academy was still in full swing.

However!

The atmosphere in the arena was exceptionally lively.

And it seemed to be heading in an entirely different direction.

A massive matchmaking event?

"You two, this is a competition venue. Could you restrain yourselves a little?"

The referee beside them spoke with an unchanged expression.

I'm so jealous. Why did girls like Qin He everywhere he went? Even Spirit Hall's favored daughter had fallen for him?

So what if he's handsome!

On the arena stage.

Both sides exuded imposing momentum.

The match began!

The two stood facing each other.

"Brother Qin He, I am Hu Liena, an eighteenth-level Soul Master. My martial soul is the Bewitching Heart Fox!"

Hu Liena wore a black combat uniform today. Her flower-like, stunningly beautiful face carried a faintly seductive charm.

Following her soft shout, a noble red fox appeared before Hu Liena. Its body was as smooth as a mirror, its soft fur sleekly pressed against it, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared before everyone.

A blue gemstone on the fox's forehead glimmered faintly, giving it an elegant air.

"First Soul Skill—Charm!"

Hu Liena's Bewitching Heart Fox did not seem to possess an overwhelming aura, yet the instant her martial soul appeared, nearly everyone present was entranced by it!

"The Bewitching Heart Fox is an exceptionally peculiar martial soul. It can Charm and control enemies. Even when facing opponents stronger than herself, it can briefly delay their reactions!"

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's research into martial souls was truly encyclopedic.

Unlike other martial souls, the Bewitching Heart Fox's attacks leaned toward spiritual assaults!

Those with weak willpower could easily fall victim to it!

Hu Liena was still young, and her Charm power was not yet sufficiently cultivated. Even so, it could already affect a large portion of the people around her.

Once Hu Liena matured, this Charm ability would become terrifyingly effective!

A thousand years ago, there had once been an extraordinary woman whose martial soul was also the Bewitching Heart Fox. Though her martial soul had only reached the level of a sixty-third-level Soul Emperor, she had used it to control ten Soul Douluo above level eighty, established a dynasty, declared herself Queen, and stirred up a storm across the Douluo Continent!

Of course, controlling others also consumed an enormous amount of Soul Power.

At the very least, Hu Liena's Bewitching Heart Fox could currently only control an enemy for a brief moment in battle. It had yet to reach the level where it could topple kingdoms with beauty!

"Martial souls restrain one another. Could Qin He really be about to suffer a setback?"

At the side, Principal Zhao Chong could not help revealing a trace of worry.

Hu Liena's martial soul had little effect on high-level Soul Masters like them.

However, the younger students of Notting Academy were already seeing stars, drool running from their mouths.

"So beautiful..."

It was as though they had imagined something wonderful. Their minds were utterly lost, and they had no other reaction at all.

"Ha ha, well done, Hu Liena!"

Seeing this, Platinum Bishop Salas below the stage became even more determined to bring the two together.

If Hu Liena could use the Bewitching Heart Fox to control Qin He in this match, it would prove that Qin He was not without weaknesses!

Salas was also well aware of the Bewitching Heart Fox's terror.

Although this martial soul was not very effective against Soul Masters with resolute wills, how many such Soul Masters were there across the entire continent?

You said Qin He was a genius who had previously defeated six experts from Spirit Hall's Golden Generation?

Under Hu Liena's Charm martial soul, no matter what kind of hero you were, you would eventually have to kneel!

"Hu Liena, if you can get Qin He in your grasp, His Holiness the Pope will surely reward you handsomely!"

Salas secretly transmitted his voice.

My First Soul Skill is Charm. With Qin He's strength, once he is struck by my Charm Soul Skill, he will definitely lose focus for quite a while. If I attack while I have the chance, I will surely defeat him!

After summoning her martial soul, Hu Liena glanced at the conditions of the others below the stage and could not help feeling smug.

Most of the Bewitching Heart Fox's Charm power was directed at Qin He, with only a small portion aimed below the stage.

Even so, quite a few audience members had fallen victim to it!

And Qin He was enduring the full force of the Charm. Wasn't his defeat certain?

On the arena stage, blue light flashed from the gemstone on the Bewitching Heart Fox's forehead and shot toward the core of Qin He's martial soul in an instant!

It hit!

Hu Liena could not help feeling delighted.

From beginning to end, she had remained deeply wary of Qin He.

Especially since Qin He had not even made a move, yet had already left the others of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation utterly crushed. This made Hu Liena take Qin He all the more seriously!

Qin He is clearly so powerful, yet he still uses this kind of Psychological Warfare. He really is difficult to deal with!

But only by conquering such a powerful man can I show just how remarkable I, Hu Liena, am!

This thought flashed through Hu Liena's mind.

So the seemingly incomparably powerful Sacred White Tiger martial soul has such a weakness?

With this weakness, no matter how powerful Qin He becomes in the future, won't he still have to obediently fall at my feet?

Thinking of this, Hu Liena grew so excited that her face flushed slightly.

Defeating enemies was delightful.

Especially someone like Qin He—weak for now, yet destined to become one of the Douluo Continent's foremost experts in the future. That brought double the joy!

Perhaps in a moment, I'll even get to see Qin He babbling nonsense on the stage like those spectators?

Hu Liena's smile was radiant, her heart surging with excitement.

However!

Before the smile could fade from Hu Liena's face, the other party's expression changed in the next instant!

A pink ray of light rebounded from the Sacred White Tiger martial soul above Qin He's head and struck Hu Liena in the head in the blink of an eye!

The next moment, Hu Liena felt a wave of dizziness, and her face immediately turned pale as paper.

"My martial soul! Not good, I've been controlled!"

Hu Liena inspected her martial soul. Within her mind, a massive phantom of a white tiger occupied the core of her consciousness.

The next moment, Hu Liena's eyes turned hazy, her cheeks flushed, and she looked completely unable to control herself!!

It was clearly Hu Liena who had wanted Qin He to embarrass himself in public!

Yet in the end, Hu Liena herself had fallen victim to it!
