4v7 Team Battle

Inside the Xilu Great Soul Arena, everyone was stunned by Xiao Chen and Hu Liena.

At first, everyone assumed this battle would be as brilliant and intense as the previous two involving the Mystic Spear, but while it was certainly brilliant, it ended far too quickly.

"Lord Ji Chuan, are the Mystic Spear and these two working together?" Lu Zheng asked, his expression grave.

He understood very well that the higher one's Soul Power Level, the harder it was to fight against those of a higher rank.

The Mystic Spear defeating a Level 28 opponent while at Level 20 was certainly astonishing;

But for the String Fox Duo, at levels 41 and 43, to instantly defeat a pair at levels 45 and 46 was simply monstrous.

He knew that the faction capable of cultivating such monsters was one his Lu Family could never afford to offend.

"I am not sure!" Ji Chuan replied. Although he knew the inside story, since that senior had already hidden the Mystic Spear away, he naturally would not speak of it.

Having failed to get the answer he wanted, Lu Zheng's expression grew even more solemn.

Cang Heng, standing to the side, was secretly delighted. He knew that if the String Fox Duo and the Mystic Spear were indeed together, things would get interesting.

He knew that if Lu Zheng could endure and restrain himself, it would be one thing; but if he could not suppress his anger and rashly attacked, the massive Lu Family would likely face total ruin.

Cang Heng did not fan the flames, for he knew the Cang Family could not afford to offend the power behind the String Fox Duo either.

Now, it all depended on what choice Lu Zheng would make.

After the battle between Xiao Chen and Hu Liena concluded, Yan and Xie Yue also participated in a duo soul fight.

The two defeated their opponents after a fierce battle; their duo soul fight was spectacular, drawing a wave of cheers from the audience.

Only a back-and-forth struggle with alternating offense and defense could ignite the atmosphere of the entire arena.

Unlike Xiao Chen and Hu Liena, who won too cleanly and decisively, the battle ended before the audience could even get into the mood, leaving them with a sense of wanting more.

After Yan and Xie Yue rested for an hour, the four of them signed up for the team competition together.

The staff at the Great Soul Arena were all astonished to hear that they intended to face seven opponents with only four.

However, once they recalled the brilliant battles the four had fought earlier, it felt reasonable.

In the end, the staff consulted Ji Chuan, and upon receiving his permission, allowed Xiao Chen and his group to register for the team soul fight.

On the main Fighting Soul Arena of the Xilu Great Soul Arena, the surrounding stands were already packed with spectators, not a single seat left empty.

Team soul fights at the Soul Ancestor stage were always a major draw.

Furthermore, the four, Xiao Chen, had already displayed their sharp edge and stunned the audience in their previous battles; now, the prospect of four people taking on seven was full of hype.

Every Soul Master and citizen in Xilu City who received the news rushed over, gathering at the Great Soul Arena to watch.

Under the influence of the host's impassioned words, the audience was in high spirits, and a mountain-shaking roar of cheers swept through the entire arena.

The first opponents for Xiao Chen's group were not particularly strong; this seven-man squad was named the Black Rock Team, with the highest Soul Power at level 44, and the entire team leaned toward a defensive style.

The seven members of the Black Rock Team had watched the previous duo soul fight and knew that the four were terrifyingly powerful.

Therefore, even though it was seven against four, they dared not be careless, and every member wore a grave expression, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

As the host announced the start of the soul fight, the seven members of the Black Rock Team immediately formed a battle formation, releasing defensive spirit skills to protect their bodies while simultaneously heightening their mental focus to guard against Hu Liena's mental charms.

This type of defensive team played a steady, war-of-attrition style.

As long as their opponents could not break their impregnable defensive formation, they could rely on their solid bulwark to drag out the time, slowly grinding down the opponents' Soul Power and patience.

Once the opponent's Soul Power and mental energy were nearly exhausted, they would suddenly switch from defense to offense, launching a counterattack to lock down the battle and crush their foes.

For teams lacking strong offensive power, fighting such a defensive team was truly difficult.

It was just a pity that they had encountered the Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall and Xiao Chen, who was essentially cheating.

Since the Black Rock Team would not attack, Xiao Chen did not even need to defend.

He stood in the back, not rushing to make a move, but waiting for Yan and Xie Yue to charge the opponent's formation.

Hu Liena also activated her Fourth Spirit Skill to provide support with area-of-effect mental interference.

Against a team that was not very strong, even if Xiao Chen and Hu Liena did not move, Yan and Xie Yue could still win.

Both were level 43 Soul Ancestors, and while their Soul Power levels were comparable to the opposition, the Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall could not be compared to ordinary Soul Ancestors.

Even if they were a team of Soul Ancestors specializing in defense, they could hardly withstand the combined assault of the two.

Moreover, with Hu Liena's mental interference providing support, the Black Rock Team would lose focus at the slightest mistake, and their stable defensive formation soon developed cracks.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Chen immediately drew his bow and fired; arrow after arrow pierced the air at incredibly tricky angles, striking one after another into the Black Rock Team's defensive formation, precisely locking onto the weak points in their structure.

Once all four of them made their move, the Black Rock Team's formation could no longer be maintained, and it was scattered before long.

All seven defensive Soul Ancestors were more or less injured.

The captain of the Black Rock Team was very decisive and conceded on the spot.

They all knew in their hearts that the four opponents had not used their true strength from start to finish; if they had gone all out, the result would certainly not have been as simple as minor injuries.

The first team soul fight for Xiao Chen's group was won effortlessly and cleanly.

After this battle, the reputation of the Yan-Yue String Fox Team was firmly established in the Xilu Great Soul Arena, quickly spreading throughout the entire city.

After the team battle ended, the four of them left the Great Soul Arena and returned to their hotel.

Lu Zheng and the Lu Family kept watch outside the Fighting Soul Arena all night, yet they never caught a glimpse of Mystic Spear, instead becoming the laughingstock of Xilu City, with everyone whispering and gossiping about them.

The next day, after finishing lunch, Xiao Chen and his three companions arrived at the Fighting Soul Arena once again.

Following yesterday's battle, Xiao Chen's Spirit Power had increased by another level, reaching level twenty-five.

Such rapid cultivation speed made Hu Liena and the others quite envious.

By now, they were becoming increasingly interested in the White Spirit Ring that Xiao Chen had spoken of.

Outside the Xilu Great Soul Arena, the Lu Family had still not left, and many people inside the arena had been searching for him as well.

Ji Chuan had assumed that after yesterday's events, Mystic Spear would not show up, but to his surprise, he received word from the arena staff that Mystic Spear had registered for a solo Fighting Soul match once again.

Upon discovering that Mystic Spear had appeared, the Lu Family immediately sent the message back.

Before long, Lu Zheng rushed over.

By the time he arrived, Xiao Chen had just defeated his opponent, securing his fourth consecutive victory for the Bronze Fighting Soul Badge.

Xiao Chen walked slowly off the Fighting Soul Arena, and the moment he stepped out of the venue, he saw Lu Zheng standing outside with his hands behind his back, his presence heavy and oppressive, faintly carrying a daunting aura of rage.

Seeing this, Ji Chuan immediately stepped forward, darting to Xiao Chen's side in an instant to shield him behind his back, remaining vigilant against any sudden move from Lu Zheng.

The Soul Masters and common folk watching from within the arena had long since noticed Lu Zheng waiting outside, and they were all well aware of his intentions.

Seeing Lu Zheng intercept Xiao Chen, the entire crowd suddenly became interested, each of them holding a spectator's mindset, waiting quietly for a storm to unfold.
