The fighters were a stunning woman with a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and a Sacred Flame White Tiger wreathed in flames!
Qian Renxue? What was she doing here?
The moment Yang Ziyuan saw her Martial Soul, he recognized her.
After all, there weren't many Soul Masters in the world who possessed a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
What confused him was why she had come to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Just as Yang Ziyuan was puzzling over this, Qian Renxue suddenly noticed him in the middle of the fight.
"Who's there?"
When Qian Renxue saw that it was Yang Ziyuan, she was taken aback.
What was he doing here?
But Qian Renxue's momentary distraction gave the Sacred Flame White Tiger, which had been on the defensive, an opening. It swiped a claw across her chest!
"Pfft!"
The blow made Qian Renxue spit out a mouthful of blood.
Then she clutched her chest and stood up. Gathering the Soul Power within her, she charged at the Sacred Flame White Tiger again.
But how could she, badly wounded as she was, be a match for a twelve-thousand-year-old Sacred Flame White Tiger?
Just as expected, Qian Renxue could only rely on her advantage in the air to keep it at bay.
Seeing this, Snake Lance Douluo, hidden nearby, could no longer hold back and was about to step in.
But Yang Ziyuan, who had been watching the fight, acted first.
Snake Lance Douluo quickly calmed himself and continued observing from the shadows.
"Black Hole Domain, activate!"
"Second Soul Skill, Destruction Demon Light!"
Under the Black Hole Domain's effect, the Sacred Flame White Tiger took Yang Ziyuan's attack head-on.
"Boom!"
The beast was sent flying. It smashed through a tree dozens of meters tall before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Roar!"
Its pained, furious roar rang through the sky, sending chills down their spines.
Yang Ziyuan felt a spark of interest.
Why not use it to test his Self-Created Soul Skill?
Just then, Qian Renxue flew over to him.
"Yang—"
"Ahem, I'm Qian Renxue. What's your name?"
"Yang Ziyuan," he replied coolly.
Though he was stunned by Qian Renxue's beauty, what concerned him most right now was the power of his Self-Created Soul Skill.
"You're injured. Leave this to me. I've been wanting to test my Self-Created Soul Skill!"
Qian Renxue immediately objected. "No! It took me so long to find a suitable Soul Beast. If you kill it, how am I supposed to absorb its Soul Ring?"
"Absorb its Soul Ring? What level are you?"
At Yang Ziyuan's question, Qian Renxue proudly showed off her Soul Rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple!
Yang Ziyuan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"And you're proud of that?"
She was just a Soul King, and only one level above him!
Still, he couldn't blame Qian Renxue.
After all, with an undercover mission to carry out, she didn't have much time to cultivate.
"What do you mean? You're looking down on a Soul King this young? Then tell me, what level are you?"
Qian Renxue sounded thoroughly indignant.
Her cultivation talent had always been a source of pride.
She couldn't believe Yang Ziyuan was looking down on her!
The thought infuriated her. She wanted to see just how high Yang Ziyuan's Soul Power Level was!
Though she hadn't looked into his cultivation in detail, she knew he was only a little over eight years old.
At that age, even with Innate Full Soul Power, he could at most be a Soul Grandmaster!
Still, as the successor chosen by a god, his Soul Power Level was probably higher than that.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to send the Sacred Flame White Tiger flying just now.
But that still didn't give him the right to look down on her!
"Enough. I'm done arguing with you. Keep this up, and that little tiger's going to get away!"
The Sacred Flame White Tiger was cautiously trying to slip away.
It wasn't being cowardly. The two people facing it were just far too monstrous!
If Yang Ziyuan hadn't suddenly appeared, Qian Renxue would probably have killed it already.
Though it had gained the upper hand with a sneak attack, it had no intention of fighting her to the death.
It sensed a deadly threat coming from Yang Ziyuan!
On top of that, his Domain had greatly suppressed it.
So it had no choice but to make a tactical retreat!
"Hm? Trying to run? Not so fast!"
When Qian Renxue saw that the Sacred Flame White Tiger really was trying to escape, her expression darkened. She beat her wings and took off after it.
"Roar!"
The Sacred Flame White Tiger let out a frenzied roar, then turned and bolted.
It was in no better shape than Qian Renxue. If she caught up to it, it was done for!
"Heh."
Qian Renxue's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
Trying to outrun a Soul Master with a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul? How foolish!
Qian Renxue launched an attack, cutting off the Sacred Flame White Tiger's escape.
"First Soul Skill, Angel Assault!"
A giant Six-Winged Angel appeared behind her.
Then the Six-Winged Angel swung a massive fist and charged at the Sacred Flame White Tiger!
The force of the blow made the Sacred Flame White Tiger falter for a moment.
Qian Renxue seized the opening and attacked again.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Angel Descent!"
"Soul Bone Skill, Angel Combo!"
"Rumble!"
Seeing that the battle was over, Yang Ziyuan felt a little disappointed.
His Self-Created Soul Skill still hadn't gotten a chance to shine!
If only he hadn't used Destruction Demon Light just now!
When Yang Ziyuan caught up, Qian Renxue said without the slightest courtesy, "Stand guard for me. I'm going to absorb the Soul Ring!"
Without waiting to see if Yang Ziyuan agreed, she closed her eyes and began absorbing the Sacred Flame White Tiger's Soul Ring.
Watching this, Yang Ziyuan felt a thousand grass-mud horses stampeding through his heart.
Still, he considered that a Titled Douluo might be hiding nearby with her. He swallowed his anger, stood quietly to one side, and watched her absorb the Soul Ring.
For a while, an eerie stillness settled over the area.
After a long time, Qian Renxue finally opened her eyes.
Seeing that Yang Ziyuan hadn't left, Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're finally awake! Now that you are, I'm leaving. Goodbye! No, actually, let's never meet again!"
Seeing Yang Ziyuan turn to leave, Qian Renxue hurriedly grabbed him.
