Went for a stroll in the Soul Dueling Arena

Dai Yueheng was the first to release his Martial Soul.

He had many opponents.

But he had never had an opponent as young as Lu Heqiu.

Not even when he was in the Dai family.

Back then, he didn't even have a Martial Soul, who would fight for no reason?

The White Tiger Martial Soul bloomed on the Soul Fighting Platform.

Dai Yueheng's body also underwent changes.

His already sturdy physique, the moment his Martial Soul was released.

He grew significantly taller.

The difference in size between him and Lu Heqiu was magnified at this moment.

The thin and small Lu Heqiu stood before him, like standing before a giant, with no chance of victory at all.

Lu Heqiu watched his form and also released his Martial Soul.

That Golden Phantom appeared again.

The phantom was several times larger than Dai Yueheng.

Just standing there, it occupied nearly half of the Soul Dueling Arena.

"Second Soul Skill!"

"White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!"

Dai Yueheng had no intention of underestimating Lu Heqiu.

Although he had indeed looked down on the child at first, Lu Heqiu hadn't revealed his Martial Soul back then.

Ever since Ma Xiaotao said that even she might not be Lu Heqiu's match.

Dai Yueheng had not shown the slightest sign of underestimation.

That laser-like beam shot directly towards Lu Heqiu.

It wasn't aimed directly at Lu Heqiu's Martial Soul.

In his opinion, it was just a phantom.

His real target was Lu Heqiu's body!

"Dai Yueheng is quite experienced!"

"But if he holds back like this, he's going to suffer!"

Gongyang Mo said, looking at the yellow Soul Skill flashing around Dai Yueheng.

It was just a hundred-year Soul Skill.

Even if Lu Heqiu's body was weak, he had awakened his Martial Soul, and could withstand it no matter what.

But...

Ma Xiaotao said even she wasn't his opponent.

Using such a Soul Skill at this time, wasn't that giving Lu Heqiu an opportunity to attack?

Just as Gongyang Mo predicted.

Lu Heqiu merely raised his hand slightly.

That blood-red Soul Ring began to respond.

All eyes were focused on Lu Heqiu.

Wanting to see what his Soul Skill was.

Could the Soul Skill granted by this hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring allow Lu Heqiu to defeat Dai Yueheng!

As Lu Heqiu raised his hand, the phantom behind him also raised its arm. The red Soul Ring instantly dissipated, as if merging into the phantom behind Lu Heqiu.

"Demon Subduer!"

The phantom directly reached out and swept forward.

The White Tiger Blazing Light Wave that Dai Yueheng had just fired was dispersed almost instantly.

Not even a trace was left behind.

What was even more shocking was.

That palm, after dispersing the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, showed no signs of stopping.

It continued to clap towards Dai Yueheng.

Dai Yueheng frowned.

He was in the same situation as Xuan Zi was back then.

The surrounding space seemed to have frozen at this moment, and even the crowd below the stage had disappeared from sight.

The only thing in sight was the giant palm striking towards him.

The giant palm seemed to descend from the heavens.

As if the heavens were punishing his transgressions.

"Such a wide coverage area?"

Dai Yueheng lightly dodged to the side, attempting to change his position and escape the giant palm's attack range.

He wasn't an idiot.

There was no reason to withstand a soul skill that could be dodged.

But this soul skill...

He couldn't dodge it at all!

Just like Xuan Zi back then.

This palm continuously adjusted its position as he moved, always keeping him at the center of its attack. No matter how he shifted his position, the giant palm followed him!

A lock-on soul skill!?

Dai Yueheng didn't hesitate.

The soul rings on his body began to shine.

His first and third soul rings were released almost simultaneously.

White Tiger Bodyguard!

White Tiger Adamant Transformation!

The moment he unleashed his soul skills.

The giant palm descended!

However, a figure also appeared in front of Dai Yueheng.

Elder Wang!

Elder Wang saw that this attack was beyond Dai Yueheng's ability to withstand.

If he didn't intervene.

Dai Yueheng would likely be severely injured today!

The power of that palm far exceeded Elder Wang's imagination. Even when he unleashed his Martial Soul True Body, he was still pushed back several steps by the giant palm.

Fortunately, Lu Heqiu's attack was a centered, area-of-effect soul skill.

It wasn't a soul skill that directly attacked Dai Yueheng through Elder Wang.

Otherwise, with Dai Yueheng alone.

It would have been difficult to avoid injury and withstand this move.

"That's enough."

"The winner has been decided."

Elder Wang's expression was complicated.

He knew Lu Heqiu would likely win this match.

But he never expected him to win so easily.

With just one move!

"I have indeed lost."

"Even if I could withstand this move, I would inevitably be injured."

Dai Yueheng spoke frankly, understanding that he was no match for Lu Heqiu and admitting defeat directly.

He truly couldn't withstand that palm strike.

As Elder Wang said.

He would definitely be injured if he forced himself to endure it.

There was no need for such a level of sparring.

"Ma Xiaotao!"

"Take this kid back!"

"Don't bring him to the Soul Dueling Arena anymore!"

A hint of anger flashed across Elder Wang's face.

There was no need for this kid to come to the Soul Dueling Arena anymore.

Anyone who could be his opponent would at least be a Soul Saint, and there were no such students here.

The graduation standard for the Inner Academy was the Soul Emperor realm.

Most students would actively accept missions from the Supervisory Team when they reached the Soul Emperor stage, and after meeting the requirements, they would leave the Inner Academy.

Only a handful of students choose to remain at the academy.

These students who remain typically serve as teachers in the Outer and Inner Academies.

It's not a big deal if a student loses.

But how can a teacher still guide students if they lose?

In short, the Soul Dueling Arena definitely doesn't welcome Lu Heqiu!

Ma Xiaotao ignored the enraged Elder Wang, walked straight up, took Lu Heqiu's hand, and as she flew away, she still spoke to Lu Heqiu, praising him: "Well done~"

"This guy really needs to be taught a lesson!"

Lu Heqiu didn't reply.

If it weren't to fulfill Ma Xiaotao's wish, he wouldn't have made a move against Dai Yueheng.

The two flew towards the dormitory.

Several figures were already waiting outside the dormitory.

One of them was the familiar Yan Shaozhe.

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe looked at the approaching pair and spoke calmly.

"Where did you go?"

Ma Xiaotao clearly panicked the moment she saw Yan Shaozhe, her gaze darting away as she stammered, "Took the junior disciple to the Soul Dueling Arena for a bit."

Yan Shaozhe's gaze lingered on Ma Xiaotao for a moment.

He knew his disciple all too well.

Taking Lu Heqiu to the Soul Dueling Arena.

It was clearly to shock the group of students she usually hung out with.

Yan Shaozhe wouldn't believe for a second that they just went for a stroll.

"You took Heqiu to the Soul Dueling Arena to beat someone up, didn't you?"

"Who was the opponent?"

"Dai Yueheng?"

"How many people saw Heqiu make a move?"
