But recalling Ling Feng's unfathomably mysterious strength, "Invincible" might not actually be an empty boast in Suotuo City.

"These are your tokens. Please keep them safe. Once you hear the announcement in the hall, you may proceed to the designated area and prepare for the Soul Fight."

The receptionist handed Ling Feng and Qian Renxue two tokens.

Ling Feng then took the tokens and led Qian Renxue straight to the designated waiting area.

They found two empty seats and sat down. Seated in her chair, Qian Renxue was still deeply dissatisfied with this Soul Fight.

"Seriously? You want the two of us to bully a pair of Three Ring Soul Grandmasters? Aren't you embarrassed?"

Qian Renxue could not help but complain. She felt that this battle posed no challenge at all. If the two of them made a move, it would be a complete mismatch.

Since when had the Pavilion Master of the Soul Ring Pavilion developed such a perverse sense of humor?

"If you don't want to participate, you can leave."

Ling Feng gave Qian Renxue a bland glance, his tone carrying a trace of coldness.

With that, he closed his eyes in thought and ignored Qian Renxue.

Seeing that Ling Feng was ignoring her, Qian Renxue felt helpless.

She wanted to leave just like that too, but the thought that Ling Feng might reveal her identity to the public made the consequences unbearable to imagine.

All she could do was curl her lips helplessly and force down the frustration in her heart.

A moment later, an announcement rang out. "The next 2v2 Soul Fight: Three Five Combination versus Invincible Combination."

Upon hearing the announcement, Ling Feng and Qian Renxue slowly rose to their feet and headed toward the battle area.

As the announcement sounded, the entire Great Soul Arena immediately erupted into an uproar.

The audience's enthusiasm was instantly ignited, and they began discussing the upcoming Soul Fight.

"Three Five Combination! Looks like we're going to make a killing this time. No matter what, I'm betting on Three Five Combination!"

A chubby Soul Master shouted excitedly.

"Good thing I have an eye for talent. Ever since Three Five Combination first appeared, I've always bet on them."

Another tall, skinny Soul Master said smugly.

"But what's the deal with this Invincible Combination? That name is ridiculously arrogant."

A young Soul Master asked in confusion.

Inside a private box stood the Shrek Seven Devils, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Zhao Wuji.

When they heard the name "Invincible Combination," each of them revealed a different expression.

"This Invincible Combination has never appeared before. They must be a newly registered Soul Master team. Little San, Xiao Wu, there's no need for you to worry too much."

Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San on the shoulder, his tone full of confidence.

He had complete faith in the students he had personally taught. With their strength, they were more than capable of handling any challenge.

"Logically speaking, as long as you coordinate a little better, there will be no suspense in this battle."

Yu Xiaogang continued, his eyes full of expectation for Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Understood, Teacher. I'll definitely win this match."

Tang San nodded firmly. He and Xiao Wu exchanged looks, their eyes filled with trust and determination.

After all, ever since the Shrek Seven Devils had come to the Great Soul Arena to participate in Soul Fights, they had never lost.

This string of victories had filled them with confidence.

"Hmph, look at that Invincible Combination. Even their name is so arrogant."

Ma Hongjun raised his fist and swung it through the air a few times, looking thoroughly displeased.

That name was even more arrogant than he was, and it made him extremely unhappy.

"Don't worry. Watch me teach them a proper lesson."

Tang San nodded slightly. Encouraged by the others, he and Xiao Wu slowly walked toward the battle arena.

"It's time once again for an intense and thrilling Soul Fight! Without further ado, please welcome Three Five Combination and Invincible Combination to the arena!"

As the Soul Master above announced the entrance of both sides, the lights came on, instantly illuminating the entire Soul Arena.

Ling Feng led Qian Renxue slowly toward the very center of the hall. Bathed in the lights, their figures were especially eye-catching.

Xiao Wu and Tang San entered from the other side as well.

The two teams' gazes met, and different thoughts arose in their minds.

So this is Tang San, the protagonist of Douluo Continent? He looks far too ordinary.

That was what Ling Feng thought. Tang San's appearance was unremarkable, and the aura around him was pitifully weak.

Tang San like this could not stir even the slightest interest in battle within him. He had joined this Soul Fight partly to complete the system's task as quickly as possible, and partly because he wanted to see Tang San's strength.

The result disappointed him greatly. Then they should not blame him for showing no mercy. He would end this battle quickly.

Qian Renxue had almost the same thoughts as Ling Feng. From her perception, Tang San and Xiao Wu ahead truly were not very strong.

The two were merely ordinary Three Ring Soul Grandmasters and were no match for them at all.

However, in Xiao Wu's eyes, the situation was entirely different.

The moment she saw Ling Feng and Qian Renxue, alarm bells rang in her heart, and a grave look appeared in her eyes.

"Third Brother, this Invincible Combination isn't simple. They feel really strong."

Xiao Wu sensed the aura the two people ahead had inadvertently released. That oppressive presence nearly made it hard for her to breathe.

Though her current strength was only that of a Soul Grandmaster, she was, after all, a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Her sharp perception had never vanished.

She could clearly sense a deadly feeling of danger from the two of them.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San and spoke up to warn him, lest the two of them underestimate their opponents.

"There's nothing to fear. Those two look fairly old. They must have used some special method to raise their Soul Power, already exhausting their potential. There's no need to worry."

Tang San had a different opinion and spoke with great confidence.

In his eyes, Ling Feng and Qian Renxue were definitely older than fifteen. Reaching Soul Grandmaster only at that age put them far behind the Shrek Seven Devils.

Therefore, Tang San did not regard them as opponents at all.

"Alright."

Seeing that Tang San would not listen to her advice, Xiao Wu sighed helplessly.

She only hoped that the two of them would not lose too badly.

Xiao Wu had already foreseen the outcome of this clash. There was a high chance that the two of them would lose.

"Will you make the first move, or will I?"

Qian Renxue had no interest in this battle at all. She turned to look at Ling Feng beside her.

She only wanted to end this boring fight as quickly as possible and then escape Ling Feng's control.

"Forget it. This is boring."

Ling Feng was equally uninterested. He planned to take them both out in one strike.

To him, this battle was nothing more than a simple task and was not worth wasting too much time on.

Hearing Ling Feng's words, Qian Renxue became even more speechless.

If you weren't interested, why did you enter the competition?

What are you even doing?

"Both sides, prepare yourselves. The match begins!"

At the command of the Soul Master above, the tense battle began at once.

The atmosphere in the entire Soul Arena instantly froze, and everyone's attention focused on the two teams at the center of the arena.

All the Soul Masters in the stands placed their bets. More than ninety percent of them bet on Three Five Combination.

Only a small handful placed their bets on Ling Feng and Qian Renxue.
