The matches moved at a fast pace.

After several rounds, it was Xiao Luo's turn to take the stage.

Xiao Luo was a level 36 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Venerable, and he often received Feng Xiaotian's guidance, so he was quite confident when facing opponents of the same level.

After dozens of exchanges, Xiao Luo defeated his opponent and claimed his first victory.

Next up was Huo Wushuang.

Huo Wushuang's opponent was a level 45 Battle Soul Sect, whose Soul Power was several levels higher than his.

However, that man's Martial Soul was the plant-type Vine, which was naturally vulnerable to fire.

So Huo Wushuang was fairly fortunate.

After an intense battle, he secured the final victory as well.

Before they knew it, the one-on-one matches in the Tenth Spirit Arena were nearing their end.

Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er had yet to compete, but their turns were coming soon.

The three teammates before her had all won, making the already nervous Shui Yue'er even more tense.

She was only fifteen or sixteen and was participating in one-on-one Soul Fighting for the first time.

Being watched by so many people at once made her deeply uncomfortable.

Moreover, among the seven-member team, she was the youngest and lowest-leveled, currently at level 35.

So she lacked confidence.

"Competitors for the next match, Shui Yue'er and Wang Bo, please prepare yourselves. You will take the stage in one minute."

It was finally Shui Yue'er's turn.

Shui Bing'er patted her sister on the shoulder and encouraged her.

"Yue'er, don't be nervous. Just perform normally like you usually do. Didn't Grandpa Feng say that winning or losing tonight isn't important? First, get a feel for fighting on the stage."

"Mm."

"Good luck!"

"Good luck!"

Everyone encouraged Shui Yue'er.

Feng Xiaotian encouraged her as well.

"We're a whole. No matter the outcome, we'll all be here waiting for you and facing it with you. Just keep to your own rhythm. We believe in you!"

Shui Yue'er smiled faintly and nodded, seeming to gain a little more confidence.

"Mm, thank you, everyone. I'm going up now!"

After saying that, Shui Yue'er headed toward the Soul Fighting Platform.

The host announced, "Next will be the twelfth one-on-one Soul Fighting match in our Tenth Spirit Arena. The contestants are two Battle Soul Venerables.

They are Battle Soul Venerable Shui Yue'er, who possesses the Beast Soul Jade Dolphin, and Battle Soul Venerable Wang Bo, who possesses the Tool Martial Soul Iron Scythe.

In this clash between Beast Soul and Tool Martial Soul, who will emerge with the final victory? Let us welcome the two Battle Soul Venerables to the stage!"

The spectators in the stands cheered.

This was the first clash between a Beast Soul and a Tool Martial Soul in the Tenth Spirit Arena tonight.

A young man stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform.

He appeared to be twenty-three or twenty-four years old and was not very tall, only around 1.7 meters.

He had an average build, neither fat nor thin.

His looks were also entirely ordinary, with nothing particularly eye-catching about him.

Standing in a crowd, he would be nothing more than an anonymous passerby.

He stood silently on the stage, his face devoid of expression. Nor did he make any gestures to provoke his opponent.

He looked ordinary, but opponents like this were often the most frightening.

Xiao Luo was somewhat worried for Shui Bing'er.

"A Battle Soul Venerable with a Tool Martial Soul won't be easy to deal with."

"You're right, but I believe in Yue'er."

Shui Bing'er understood her sister's strength and had confidence in her.

Feng Xiaotian had yet to see Shui Yue'er fight. He only knew that she was highly talented and had great potential. She was an Agility Attack System Soul Master, but he did not know how strong she truly was.

This time, she had encountered an opponent with a Tool Martial Soul. Defeating him would likely not be so simple.

Tool Martial Souls and Beast Souls each had their own advantages and traits.

The Martial Soul Avatar of a Tool Martial Soul was a weapon, excelling in methods such as defense, offense, assassination, and brute force.

When Soul Power reached the later stages, Tool Martial Souls became more well-rounded and specialized.

Beast Soul Masters could directly attach their Martial Souls to their bodies, gaining powerful defense, diverse abilities, and overwhelmingly suppressive strength.

In the early stages, Beast Souls possessed a broader variety of abilities due to the diverse habits of beasts.

But in the later stages of cultivation, their drawback of being broad but not refined began to show.

Thus, before level 30, Beast Soul Masters held a greater advantage over Tool Martial Soul Masters.

After level 30, however, which type of Soul Master was stronger depended on their individual development.

The two about to fight were both Battle Soul Venerables in their thirties, so it was still hard to say who would win.

Shui Yue'er slowly walked onto the stage.

Her tall figure, dark green hair, and youthful little face immediately attracted the attention of many spectators.

"Wow! Another young girl!"

"This girl looks even younger than that hot-tempered girl from before. She's probably only fifteen or sixteen."

"She's already a Soul Elder at such a young age, so she must be pretty strong."

"Exactly. We'd better not underestimate her. Don't forget that girl from earlier who won with a single move."

The more the spectators spoke, the more excited they became.

Also a girl, Shui Yue'er looked far gentler than Huo Wu.

Moreover, she was younger and more likely to stir others' protective instincts.

Therefore, most of the spectators in the stands supported Shui Yue'er, which helped her relax considerably.

When Wang Bo saw Shui Yue'er, he was briefly stunned before saying irritably, "Little girl, how old are you? This isn't a place you should be. Hurry home. Come back after you've grown up."

Shui Yue'er replied with a smile, "Didn't that big guy just lose to a girl? Have you forgotten already?"

"Tch! I'm not that muscle-brained idiot with brawn for limbs and nothing in his head!"

When Wang Bo mocked Liu Gang, his face was full of contempt.

This angered Shui Yue'er somewhat.

Although the big man had lost to Huo Wu, he had been polite and humble.

Yet Wang Bo, standing before her, had not even started fighting and was already acting arrogantly.

"Who are you looking down on? If you've got any skills, use them! I'm not afraid of you!"

"Is that so? Then let me show you the might of my Iron Scythe!"

Having said that, Wang Bo showed no courtesy and directly revealed his Soul Rings—two yellow and one purple, the optimal configuration.

Unwilling to be outdone, Shui Yue'er revealed her Soul Rings as well.

They were likewise two yellow and one purple, the optimal configuration.

Once she became serious, Shui Yue'er bore some resemblance to her sister Shui Bing'er, utterly unlike the delicate and gentle girl she had seemed to be before.

The spectators erupted once more.

Someone shouted loudly at Shui Yue'er, cheering her on.

Wang Bo gave a cold laugh.

"This is Soul Fighting, not a game. I won't go easy on you just because you're a girl!"

"Take this!"

First Soul Skill: Flying Scythe!
