"Nana?"

How could Su Chen fail to recognize that familiar voice?

Before Su Chen could respond, Hu Liena had already rushed over.

"You little brat, it's only been half a year and you've already found yourself a new girl?"

As a Beast Soul Master, Hu Liena's physical abilities had greatly improved along with her rising Soul Power.

"It's not what you think. I was just bringing her to a two-person match."

With a clear conscience, Su Chen did not panic in the face of Hu Liena's questioning.

"Doesn't look like it. You've gotten quite capable, huh?"

A woman's jealousy was terrifying. Right now, Hu Liena only wanted to teach this little junior brother of hers, who flirted everywhere, a lesson.

"You've even learned how to pick up girls."

"Brother, let's go."

After calling out to Xie Yue, who had been watching everything, Hu Liena turned and left the rest area.

"She is...?"

Relying on a woman's intuition, Xue Wu keenly sensed a threat.

"My friend."

Su Chen answered briefly. If anyone suspected that he was connected to Spirit Hall, it would be troublesome for him.

"Are we still going to the doubles match? Or should you explain things to her first?"

Xue Wu gently leaned against Su Chen's shoulder and asked tentatively.

"The doubles match won't take long."

As he spoke, Su Chen took Xue Wu to register for the match.

He did not notice the deeper meaning behind Xue Wu's words at all.

Half an hour later, it was finally Su Chen's turn to take the stage.

"Next, Ring Twelve will host today's fourth two-versus-two battle."

This time, the host was a scantily clad woman. Her fiery figure and deliberate flirtatiousness stirred the audience into excitement.

"First, a brand-new team from Skywater Academy! The Profound Darkness Duo, featuring a powerful rookie Soul Master!"

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere among the audience instantly erupted.

Ever since he had defeated Huo Wushuang in the previous match, many people had become Su Chen's fans.

To these ordinary townsfolk, a genius from Skywater Academy crushing a genius from Chihuo Academy was excellent gossip for after meals.

"Although both members of the Profound Darkness Duo only registered for Soul Battles today, Su Chen's terrifying strength makes this undoubtedly a formidable team."

During the introduction, the host deliberately ignored Xue Wu.

After all, a record of two consecutive losses was not exactly flattering.

"And on the blue side, we have the mysterious Crescent Moon Duo."

When speaking of this team, the host adopted an intentionally mysterious tone.

"One month ago, this pair registered for their first Soul Battle. Today is the thirty-second day, and their record stands at twenty-two wins and ten losses. They have maintained a ten-match winning streak so far."

Hu Liena and Xie Yue were biological siblings, so their coordination naturally came with ease.

Other than their initial difficulty adapting to the Soul Arena, as well as a few unexpected upsets,

their path through Soul Battles had been remarkably smooth.

"Little guy, today I'll let you see just how formidable your senior sister is."

Staring intently at the red side's entrance, Hu Liena habitually licked her lips.

The hunt had begun.

"First to enter are the Crescent Moon Duo. According to their registration information, the two are biological siblings. No wonder their coordination is so exquisite. Let us look forward to another dazzling performance!"

Compared to Su Chen, who had only recently made his debut,

Hu Liena and Xie Yue, who had always been associated with the words mysterious and powerful, had naturally accumulated more fans.

The instant they stepped into the Soul Arena, they drew cheers as thunderous as a tsunami.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue's two-person team had naturally been arranged by Bibi Dong.

According to Spirit Hall's research, Martial Soul Fusion Skills could be developed through training after birth.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were the best examples.

Judging from the few existing samples, biological siblings like Hu Liena and Xie Yue should have an easier time achieving one.

Thus, Bibi Dong had them form a two-person team and train in the Soul Arena.

On one hand, it would improve their practical combat experience. On the other, it would allow them to try coordinating a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"And on the other side is the incredibly mysterious contestant, Su Chen!"

With Su Chen's entrance, the audience's excitement surged once more.

"In his previous battle, contestant Su Chen used only one Soul Ring. His mystery and strength are beyond question. But where exactly is his limit? Let us wait and see!"

"Su Chen, you're very strong. But we won't show mercy. Come at us."

With his arms raised in a fighting stance, Xie Yue radiated a sharp and fierce aura.

His Martial Soul was called the Moon Blade, likewise a top-tier offensive Tool Martial Soul.

"Let me show you the results of our training."

Facing Su Chen, Xie Yue did not dare let his guard down.

He had personally witnessed just how powerless Yan, despite his level advantage, had been before Su Chen.

After checking the information provided by the Soul Arena and learning that Su Chen was already level twenty-eight,

Xie Yue was even more shocked. After all, Hu Liena and he were only at the peak of level twenty-nine.

Su Chen's cultivation speed was terrifying. In just half a year, he had caught up to them.

Of course, part of the reason was that they had deliberately slowed their advancement to train their Martial Soul Fusion Skill and improve the quality of their Soul Power.

But Su Chen was also plagued by Heterogeneous Soul Power!

"Then I'll get serious too."

With one swift motion, Su Chen removed his mask. A chillingly sinister and terrifying aura immediately radiated from his entire body.

Even Xue Wu, his teammate, could not help taking a step back.

"He's so handsome."

"He's a genius and he's that good-looking. Sure enough, people simply can't be compared."

This action undoubtedly pushed the atmosphere of the entire match to its peak.

At just the right moment, the host announced,

"The battle begins!"

At the host's command, this two-versus-two battle officially began!

"First Soul Skill: Dark Clouds!"

The first yellow Soul Ring on Xue Wu's body lit up, and she unexpectedly began performing a strange dance on the spot.

"First Soul Skill: Fox Fire!"

Seeing dark clouds beginning to gather above the arena, Hu Liena did not hesitate to attack Xue Wu with a Soul Skill.

Although her first Soul Skill differed from ordinary flames and possessed some resistance against water,

it was still fire in the end. If those dark clouds began pouring rain later, her flames might become completely useless.

"I'm still here. Do you really think it's realistic to directly attack the support?"

With a light tap of his fingertip, Su Chen fired three streams of sword qi in succession.

Before the nimble and swift Shang Yang Sword, all three of Hu Liena's Fox Fires were shot down.

"Tch. You actually blocked my Soul Skill just to protect that woman..."

Hu Liena glared resentfully at Su Chen and asked in a low voice.

"As opponents, isn't that perfectly normal?"

As he spoke, Su Chen fired another Shang Yang Sword Qi.

"Second Soul Skill: Guard!"
