Victory Decided

Nan Li dared to call herself an Agility Attack System Soul Master, so how could she possibly be slow? Without using her Martial Soul, she stomped her right foot on the ground and darted several meters to the side, sweeping her leg at Ma Hongjun's lower body.

Perhaps because he possessed an avian Martial Soul, Ma Hongjun was more agile than Nan Li had expected. He twisted aside to evade her attack, clenched his hand into a fist, and smashed it viciously toward her!

After missing his first strike, Dai Mubai swiftly changed tactics and rushed over, intending to use his advantage in size to defeat Nan Li.

That missed strike had wasted some time. She would have to be more careful next time. As Nan Li rose, she raised an arm and knocked Ma Hongjun's fist aside, then kicked out without a second thought. Giving him no chance to catch his breath, she spun around and kicked him hard again. After her left foot landed, she clenched her hand into a fist and met Dai Mubai's attack head-on.

Bang! Dai Mubai felt the overwhelming force of the impact and was shocked by Nan Li's arm strength.

After holding against each other for a second, the two swiftly separated. The next instant, Ma Hongjun's flames were already before Nan Li!

"So this is the so-called Phoenix Flame?" Nan Li's brows shifted slightly as she caught the incoming flames barehanded. Li Fire surged from her palm, white within and crimson without, instantly forcing back the purplish-red flames.

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fireline!"

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!"

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai attacked simultaneously, the purplish-red fireline and white light wave charging toward Nan Li together.

Nan Li flipped aside, and her Wings snapped open behind her. Her First Soul Ring shone brilliantly. "First Soul Skill, Crimson Feather Slash!"

But her target was not Ma Hongjun or Dai Mubai—it was Oscar!

In just two or three exchanges, Nan Li had moved between Oscar and the other two. At that moment, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were both attacking her, leaving Oscar completely exposed to Nan Li's attack range.

The two had no time to react before the Cross Light Blade had already slashed toward Oscar.

Nan Li was positioned closer to Ma Hongjun, but his Phoenix Flame was not as hot as her Li Fire.

Just as Dai Mubai fired his light wave at Nan Li with all his strength, golden light suddenly covered her red Wings. Nan Li's Third Soul Ring flashed brightly, and Golden Feather Armor encased her completely.

Over there, the moment Oscar met Nan Li's gaze, he inwardly cried out in alarm. He quickly dodged her attack. Only after she was held back by Dai Mubai and her wings blocked her line of sight did Oscar dare to stop.

"Catch!" Oscar threw a Super Recovery Big Sausage each to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Though Dai Mubai looked disgusted, he still swallowed it in one bite.

Nan Li swept her wings aside, and golden feathers shot from her hand, striking the sausage flying toward Ma Hongjun. The flames on the feathers exploded instantly, and the sausage condensed from Soul Power vanished in an instant.

Dai Mubai charged toward Nan Li, while Oscar took the opportunity to toss another sausage toward Ma Hongjun.

Nan Li slashed her palm through the air. The Cross Light Blade that had vanished from Oscar's sight earlier descended from above, blasting both the sausage and Ma Hongjun away!

The sausage was cut into three pieces and dissipated into the air.

As for Ma Hongjun, he had failed to dodge in time while rushing toward Oscar and was knocked unconscious at once.

Everything happened too quickly. Dai Mubai had no other choice but to dodge Nan Li's attacks while shouting, "Little Ao, hurry and hide—"

Before he could finish, golden wings slammed into Dai Mubai's chest and sent him flying.

Nan Li moved her palm slightly, and flames swept between Dai Mubai and Oscar. A wall of fire one zhang high rose from the ground.

Before Dai Mubai could get up from the ground, Nan Li launched another attack. "Crimson Feather Slash!"

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Body Protection Barrier!"

A white shield enveloped Dai Mubai, and the white light blade struck the shield with a bang!

Dai Mubai seized the chance to rise, crossing his arms before him to block.

They were both First Soul Skills, but could he withstand a Soul Ring of over eight hundred years? Nan Li raised her hand and drew a symbol in the air. Two streams of flame rapidly extended from the fire wall, trapping Dai Mubai and Oscar within.

Crack! The white shield could no longer bear the strain and dissipated into the air.

The light blade did not lose any momentum and knocked Dai Mubai to the ground once more!

At some point, Flender had already appeared on the rooftop beside them. Seeing this, he shook his head and sighed. "Victory has already been decided."

Not to mention the time it took for one incense stick to burn—even half an incense stick had not burned yet.

When the flames came at him, Oscar turned and ran. Yet the crimson-outside, white-within flames eerily pursued him, soon occupying every bit of space around him. Oscar stood comically on one foot, then slowly turned his head to look at Dai Mubai.

On the other side, Dai Mubai clutched his chest as he coughed and tried to rise. The sharp pain in his chest kept him from straightening his back, but he was still unwilling to give up. Firelight reflected on his face, and amid the shifting light and shadow, his mismatched eyes gleamed with cold severity.

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Body Protection Barrier!"

But the boost from the White Tiger Body Protection Barrier was not enough to support Dai Mubai through layer after layer of fire walls. Even with one activation, barely making it through the second wall of fire was already a struggle.

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger—Blazing Light Wave!"

Did he think I was a wooden post? Nan Li's figure flashed before everyone's eyes. Like a shadow chasing the wind, she darted into the fire wall in the blink of an eye.

A fierce gust struck from behind. Dai Mubai did not dare lower his guard and swiftly turned to defend himself.

Dressed in a crimson-and-gold combat outfit, Nan Li spun and swept a kick toward Dai Mubai's head.

As Dai Mubai ducked to evade, he viciously kicked at Nan Li's knee.

Nan Li had no time to retract her leg, so she simply sprang into the air to avoid Dai Mubai's counterattack. The instant her toes touched the ground again, Nan Li launched another kick straight at Dai Mubai's vital spot!

Dai Mubai retreated repeatedly in alarm, unable to believe that this little girl's attacks could be so vicious and tricky.

"White Tiger Body Protection Barrier!" The flames had drastically limited Dai Mubai's range of movement, and the White Tiger Body Protection Barrier could only hold for a while.

Flender watched in silence, quite pleased by Dai Mubai's persistence.

The Companion Flame had no effect whatsoever on Nan Li herself, yet it posed an obstacle others could not ignore. Perhaps some would think that withdrawing the flames and fighting Dai Mubai head-on would be fair.

Heh, fair?

In this world, strength reigned supreme. Fully making use of one's own power was the true principle. How foolish did one have to be to give up one's advantage for some so-called "fair duel"?

Resources, age, Martial Souls, talent... when had this world ever truly been fair?

"Dai Mubai, if you had even a third of the fighting spirit you have now back then, you would not have fled the Star Luo Empire in such a sorry state," Nan Li said coldly.

Sun Island lay southeast of the Star Luo Empire. Her clan had already sent people to negotiate with the Star Luo Empire's royal family, but was this Dai Mubai truly suited to be Crown Prince?

He was level twenty-five at twelve, while Zhu Zhuqing was level twenty-seven at twelve. This little kitten really had poor taste.

"You!" Dai Mubai's heart shook violently. How did Nan Li know about this?

"It's over."

Oscar's Soul Skill was based on the anime. As for the Original Work, well...
