Hearing the manager's introduction, Xue Qinghe swirled the wine glass in his hand.
The translucent red liquid formed a small vortex against the glass walls, and through the glass, he looked down at the spirit fighting arena below.
"Well done, you may leave."
The manager silently retreated from the private box, closing the door behind him as he left.
The room fell back into silence.
A moment later, the shadows of the sofa twisted, and two figures emerged.
"Young Master!"
The two men cupped their fists and bowed to the man by the window.
"Two Elders, did you notice anything unusual about this boy?"
These two were none other than Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo; as the guardians of Qian Renxue, they remained hidden by her side day and night.
They had watched the entire incident regarding Chen Xing today.
Facing Qian Renxue's question, She Long was the first to respond.
"Young Master! This person's life aura is extremely strange; there is a life attribute within his body even purer than that of the Ye Clan head."
"Furthermore, how could it be possible for someone to reach the rank of Soul Elder at the age of six!"
Immediately after, Chi Xue chimed in as well.
"Young Master! The medicinal herb that brat mentioned must be a lie to deceive you."
"With the vast influence of Martial Soul Hall, having been entrenched on the continent for so many years, we have never heard of such a miraculous item."
"I fear there is an even greater secret hidden within him."
At the window.
Qian Renxue watched the figure below move with agility, his steps light and nimble.
He was actually using his Bamboo martial soul as a weapon, unleashing sharp sword qi with every swing and strike.
In just a few moves, a level 31 Spirit Master had completely lost the ability to resist.
After it was over, the boy did not forget to wave in her direction.
She raised her wine glass and gave a slight nod in response.
"Is he a transformed spirit beast?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two Title Douluo turned solemn.
The two exchanged glances and spoke in unison.
"No!"
Following that, She Long continued.
"There isn't a shred of spirit beast aura on him."
"And even if it were a transformed spirit beast, it would still need to follow the rules of human cultivation; it is impossible to be promoted directly to a Soul Elder upon transformation."
"Unless..."
At this point, She Long hesitated to continue.
However, Qian Renxue spoke for him, saying.
"Unless the other party also possesses a god-level martial soul, and the quality of that martial soul is superior to mine, allowing them to inherit a god's trial immediately upon transformation."
"Is that right?"
The two did not speak, but their silence provided the answer.
Even under the detection of Title Douluo, there was nothing abnormal about Chen Xing's identity; he was just an ordinary human child.
But the more ordinary he seemed, the more curious Qian Renxue became.
She had already watched two battles, and she wondered where Chen Xing's spirit power came from; the boy's spirit power showed no signs of instability, and he remained at ease even after defeating two consecutive opponents.
Such a solid foundation made even her feel inferior.
While pondering, a thought suddenly occurred to her.
Qian Renxue instructed the two Title Douluo to remain hidden, then summoned the manager back inside.
"Cancel everyone on the match list and arrange for someone named Bai Xue to participate in the next fight."
"Your Highness! Where is this person now? Should I go and notify them?"
"No need, just do as I say."
After the manager left, the figure by the window set down the wine glass, a smile playing on his lips as he met the boy's upward gaze once more.
Immediately after, he walked into the room, his figure twisting and shifting until he transformed into a woman in white.
"Young Master! Please reconsider!"
Just as she was about to step out of the room, the telepathic voices of the two Title Douluo echoed from behind.
The emotions of the two were clearly very tense.
There was no other reason; at this moment, Qian Renxue had already restored her original appearance!
This young mistress of the Martial Soul Hall was actually going to personally go and fight this kid!
"I know what I'm doing."
Leaving behind this single sentence, she walked toward the contestant lounge.
Down below.
Chen Xing had once again defeated an opponent; this was already his fourth.
Four consecutive victories had caused the audience stands to erupt completely.
Who exactly is this boy? What is his background? This is just too strong!
Look at how handsome he is! And his martial soul is actually a bamboo stalk; he has such a refined aura!
Is this guy here just to crush noobs and show off? Can you really play like that, using a bamboo stalk as a sword?
These spectators had completely forgotten their initial contempt for Chen Xing; now, one by one, they began to heap praise and offer their critiques.
The host received orders that Chen Xing could take a short break.
The next match was the final one, and it was imperative that he be adjusted to his best state.
Chen Xing was puzzled.
Given Qian Renxue's temperament, she wouldn't give up until she had either exhausted his soul power or encountered an opponent who could defeat him.
What kind of trick was she pulling now?
In the lounge.
Chen Xing began to silently recover his soul power. In the few matches just now, his opponents hadn't even touched the hem of his clothes.
Once [Second Soul Skill: Purple Imperial Sword Domain] was activated, his own speed increased by 200%.
Combined with [First Soul Skill: Purple Imperial Sword Qi].
Every sword strike dealt true damage, and his opponents were cut down like cabbages after just a few swings.
It wasn't that his opponents were too weak; it was truly that the effects of his evolved thousand-year soul skill were too powerful.
At the same level, the power of an opponent's hundred-year soul skill couldn't even compare to one of Chen Xing's basic attacks when he had his buffs stacked.
While he was reviewing his performance, a woman in white suddenly walked over.
Chen Xing was just pondering what kind of strength his final opponent would have when the woman sat down directly beside him.
A fragrant breeze wafted over, and when Chen Xing turned his head to look at the newcomer, he was completely captivated.
He saw a girl of peerless beauty, her long golden hair setting off her snow-white skin, and her golden pupils seemed to shimmer with starlight, enough to draw anyone in with a single glance.
The pure white dress she wore made her appear incredibly holy, just like an angel.
In both his past and present lives, he had never seen such a beautiful girl.
"Hello, my name is Bai Xue."
Amidst Chen Xing's stunned expression, she took the initiative to extend her hand toward him and smiled sweetly.
"I watched your matches, and I think you're very impressive. Can we be friends?"
At this moment, Chen Xing's mind went completely blank.
He stiffly extended his right hand and then didn't make any further movements.
It wasn't until the girl gently shook his hand that he finally snapped out of it.
"H-h-hello, my name is Chen Xing!"
"I'm very happy to be friends with you."
As he spoke, his face began to turn red.
The girl opposite him seemed very satisfied with his reaction and smiled even more brightly.
"Good luck in your next match, you must give it your all!"
With that, she walked out of the lounge, leaving Chen Xing with nothing but a pure silhouette.
It really wasn't that he, Chen Xing, lost all resistance whenever he saw a pretty girl; it was just that this person was too beautiful.
Oh no, is this person a succubus?
The happily dazed Chen Xing suddenly realized that his reaction had been far too exaggerated.
No matter how beautiful the other person was, she was still just a girl; logically speaking, this shouldn't have happened!
He slapped his cheeks with his palms, trying to wake himself up through this method.
The next match was about to begin; how could he have these things on his mind!
As he pondered, the host's voice, amplified by a loudspeaker, rang out once again.
"The intermission is over!"
"Next, let us welcome the contestants for this match onto the stage!"
"They are:"
"The four-win newcomer: Chen Xing!"
"And our other mysterious contestant!"
"Bai Xue!"
