"Second Soul Skill, Wailing Wind."

The Azure Luan Spirit let out waves of luan cries, crisp and pleasant to the ear.

Soul Masters with weaker mental strength would easily fall under its effects.

As expected, the Bear brothers were hit. Their senses were numbed, and they could no longer track Wu Qi's constantly flickering figure.

Wu Qi's target was clear. Under the cover of his Luan Wings, the Crane Cloud Wings unfurled. With the massive speed boost, he streaked across the arena like a ghost, his spearhead aimed straight at Bear Two.

"Second!" Bear One's eyes widened.

With his senses numbed and his limbs refusing to obey, he needed time to rush over and provide support.

Seeing his reaction, Wu Qi thought, Just as expected.

How could an elder brother who cared so deeply for his younger brother be willing to leave him in danger?

As long as Bear One focused only on coming to Bear Two's aid, Ning Rongrong would be absolutely safe.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit's sustained enhancement was crucial to the outcome of this spirit battle. Wu Qi had no intention of "losing" Ning Rongrong right from the start!

His blade-hardened wings slashed down again and again.

Bear Two's senses were numbed, and he struggled to deal with Wu Qi's fierce assault.

In just a single breath, several wounds sliced by sharp weapons appeared across his body, blood flowing without stop.

Wu Qi dispelled his Second Soul Skill, and the mental control effect gradually faded.

As the numbness vanished, Bear One swiftly rushed over to support him.

"First Soul Skill, Mad Bear Collapse Fist."

As a strength-type Soul Master, the power behind this punch was not to be underestimated.

Previously, Wu Qi would not have chosen to clash with him head-on.

But with Ning Rongrong's strength enhancement, Wu Qi's fighting style became bolder.

He kicked out with his right leg, blocking Bear One's Collapse Fist. Borrowing the momentum of the punch, he retreated with the force to the rear.

Bear One did not rush to pursue. Instead, he turned to check Bear Two's injuries, his expression growing increasingly grim.

He seemed to understand that Wu Qi had not chosen Bear Two as his target because of his lower Soul Power Level, but because Wu Qi had seized upon Bear One's weakness.

The opponent was certain that he would not take the initiative to attack Ning Rongrong. Otherwise, the one at a disadvantage would definitely be them.

Such terrifying insight was not something an ordinary genius could possess.

Wu Qi's true strength was the complete opposite of his duo's name!

The audience's stance shifted along with the battle.

Wu Qi displayed extraordinary strength, toying with his two opponents in the palm of his hand, immediately drawing lavish praise from the spectators.

Some were also puzzled. "With strength like that, why choose such a name for their duo?"

Warm Heart Nook sounded overwhelmingly girlish at first glance.

But upon seeing Ning Rongrong on the arena, many spectators immediately understood.

The match continued.

Wu Qi had gained the upper hand in the first exchange, but in terms of the overall battle, the advantage was negligible.

As a Soul Master, Bear Two possessed extremely tenacious vitality. Even with blood continuously flowing from his wounds, his strength remained undiminished.

"Second Soul Skill, War Cry!"

Bear One and Bear Two activated their Soul Skills at the same time.

It was some kind of enhancement-type Soul Skill. Wu Qi could sense that the brothers' auras had risen twice over.

Apparently, this Second Soul Skill could not only enhance themselves, but also extend its effects to their teammate.

Wu Qi recalled a theory he had once read in a book.

Close biological brothers or sisters could not only develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but might also possess complementary Soul Skills, similar to the beast-pack buff from the games of his previous life.

The Mad Bear Duo's consecutive victories had not come from tricks, but from genuine strength.

Wu Qi attacked once more, this time targeting Bear One to test the strength he had gained after the enhancement.

"Wing Blade Slash!"

His blade-hardened wings slashed out fiercely, the sound of tearing wind sharp and clear.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Bear One's lips. He thrust out both claws and caught the attack.

"Kid, you're the most talented person I've ever seen in my life. But unfortunately, you haven't grown strong enough yet."

"Today, my brother and I will teach you a proper lesson!"

When it came to geniuses, Bear One's eyes held envy and jealousy, but more than anything, they burned with a desire for victory.

Wu Qi's heart sank.

This all-around boost made Bear One's strength comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Ancestor, making him extremely difficult to deal with.

But he was far from out of tricks.

Wu Qi unleashed the Spirit Luan Martial Void Art. The rapid slashes of his wing blades held back Bear One's assault.

This was a two-on-two soul battle, yet Wu Qi had only restrained one opponent!

The two brothers exchanged a glance. Bear Two immediately stepped forward, intending to eliminate Ning Rongrong.

Wu Qi secretly rejoiced.

Bear One had not grown suspicious when he changed targets, while Bear Two seemed to trust his brother completely.

Seeing that his opponent had exposed his back, Wu Qi prepared to launch a sneak attack.

When Ning Rongrong saw Bear Two charging toward her, she took a step back.

She did not hurry to leave the arena, still hoping that Wu Qi could come to her rescue.

As Bear Two closed in step by step, Wu Qi made no move to help her. Ning Rongrong understood that it was time for her to leave.

Just before Bear Two's claws struck, her right foot stepped out of the arena. The referee immediately declared her eliminated.

Bear Two promptly withdrew his attack.

Attacking an already eliminated contestant was a major taboo. If he encountered an unforgiving referee, he too would be declared eliminated.

A perfect opportunity!

The Spirit Luan Martial Void Art had already accumulated tremendous power. Wu Qi broke free from Bear One's entanglement and rushed toward Bear Two's back at top speed.

"Watch out!" Bear One shouted.

Bear Two hurriedly turned around, but in an instant, Wu Qi had already arrived before him.

"Third Spirit Skill, Raging Windstorm!"

Azure Luan's wings beat rapidly, whipping up fierce gale winds centered on Bear Two's body.

Before he had time to resist, Bear Two was swept into them.

The gale winds were like blades. Within them, the wounds on Bear Two's body were continuously torn open. In the end, he was flung out of the arena and crashed to the ground.

The injuries on his body were not too serious, but a long wound had been sliced open across his mouth, extending all the way to his cheek.

Clearly, this was Wu Qi's response to his arrogant words!

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed and kept clapping beneath the arena.

Each side had eliminated one person, turning the match into a one-on-one battle.

At the same time, both sides' amplification spirit skills vanished. What followed would be a contest of raw strength.

Wu Qi was unsure whether they possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Eliminating one of them first would completely neutralize this trump card.

Bear One's expression darkened terribly. With a blazing gaze, he said, "Kid, of all things, you shouldn't have injured Bear Two like this!"

Scars on the body could be covered by clothing, but scars on the face could not!

Wu Qi responded coldly, "He should learn to grow up, rather than relying on the strength of an older brother like you to bully others!"

In one-on-one battles against opponents of the same rank, Wu Qi had never suffered a defeat.

Yet he did not become arrogant because of it, nor did he underestimate his opponent.

In the battle that followed against Bear One, his performance was exceptionally dazzling, nearly bringing all his advantages into play to their fullest extent.

"Short Legs" Bear One could not touch him at all. He was even led around by the nose throughout the entire fight.

There was no suspense in the match. Five minutes later, Bear One voluntarily admitted defeat, ending the battle.

A weaker fighter defeating a stronger one was the very definition of a satisfying underdog story.

This was exactly the kind of match the audience loved most.

For a time, thunderous cheers erupted beneath the arena.

Qian Gu Changkong, seated among the spectators, watched with burning eyes.

What Wu Qi could do, his future self would surely be able to do as well!
