"Hehehe~ It's finally begun!"
"Gu Yi, I hope you like the gift I prepared for you."
In the resting area, Dai Mubai spoke with a vicious expression.
According to the Soul Arena's unspoken rules, a team whose strongest member was only a Soul Elder would never be matched against Soul Ancestors.
But Dai Mubai had quietly taken advantage of this rule. If anyone asked afterward, he could just claim it had been an accidental mistake. Either way, it had nothing to do with him.
"I want to see just how humiliatingly you'll lose this time. After this, let's see whether Zhuqing will still cling to you!"
"Zhuqing... can only be mine! I may not want her, but you're not allowed to touch her either!"
Dai Mubai muttered to himself from his seat. Though his mind was filled with fantasies, his eyes never left the screen.
On the screen, Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing stood facing Yuan Yi and Yuan Er. Behind each of them, their martial souls had been summoned.
Behind Yuan Yi was a monkey wreathed in blazing flames, while behind Yuan Er was a white-furred baboon.
Their Soul Power and soul rings were remarkably similar: both were level forty-two, with one white, two yellow, and one purple ring.
"Weaving Fire Monkey and Wind Baboon? Let's see just how strong you are." Gu Yi saw through their martial souls at a glance.
From what he remembered, both martial souls belonged to the assault type. They were not especially powerful, but neither were they weak.
"Zhuqing, their Soul Power is high. Stay behind me and wait for an opportunity. I'm a defense-type Soul Master, so take it slow. Don't put yourself in danger!" Gu Yi reminded her concernedly.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart warmed again at his words. She obediently nodded and stood behind Gu Yi.
"Hmph! This is a battlefield. If you want to flirt, go home and do it!"
Yuan Yi's anger flared as he watched the two of them openly display affection on the stage. With an enraged roar, he gathered Soul Power in his hand.
First Soul Skill! Fireball Throw!
As his words fell, Yuan Er beside him also made his move. He flung both hands forward, and two invisible Wind Blades came hurtling toward them.
First Soul Skill! Dragon Body!
Third Soul Skill! Space Transfer!
Seeing the attacks about to strike him, Gu Yi hurriedly used his First Soul Skill, greatly increasing his defense.
Then, just as the fireball was about to hit him, Gu Yi instantly unleashed his Third Soul Skill.
In an instant, the crimson fireball vanished before Gu Yi's eyes and appeared behind Yuan Er at the same time.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, Yuan Er was blasted away. He crashed onto the ground, his eyes filled with fury.
"What was that?!" Yuan Er climbed to his feet in confusion and looked toward Yuan Yi.
"It should be that brat's soul skill! But it doesn't matter. He can probably only transfer soul skills he can see. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used a soul skill to take your Wind Blades head-on just now." Yuan Yi explained darkly.
Clearly, he was extremely displeased with what Gu Yi had just done.
As for Gu Yi, although he had taken Yuan Er's Wind Blades head-on, the protection of Dragon Body meant he had not suffered any real injury.
"My turn. Body Piercing Bone Needle!"
As soon as he spoke, dozens of fine needles resembling white bones appeared out of thin air. In the next instant, they shot out simultaneously toward the two brothers.
"Hmph! Dodge!" Yuan Yi snorted, retreating to the side as he warned Yuan Er.
You think an attack that slow can hit us? What a joke!
"Ah!"
But suddenly, a pained cry rang out beside him. Yuan Er's right arm was covered in bone needles, and he had dropped painfully to his knees.
His left hand tightly gripped his right arm. The pain was so intense that he could not even stand.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"Brother! Are you all right?" Yuan Yi hurried to Yuan Er's side and asked anxiously.
"Brother! It hurts so much! I think my right arm is ruined!" Yuan Er cried out in agony, tears welling in his eyes.
"Don't worry. Rest here. Your brother will avenge you!" Yuan Yi comforted him painfully, then turned to glare viciously at Gu Yi. "I'll kill you today!"
Fourth Soul Skill! Sky Filled with Fire Rain!
Yuan Yi roared as the vast Soul Power within him surged out in full. The fiery monkey phantom behind him leaped above Gu Yi's head, and a massive fireball exploded in its hand, turning into hundreds of crimson streaks of light.
"Zhuqing, come here." Gu Yi called to Zhu Zhuqing expressionlessly.
Area-of-effect attacks had never meant much to him. He only needed to use his Third Soul Skill to blink beyond their range.
But today, he did not intend to end things so easily.
"Zhuqing, after he uses this soul skill, he should have no Soul Power left. Leave him to you. I'll go teach his brother a lesson."
As he spoke, Soul Power flickered in Gu Yi's hand. After moving Zhu Zhuqing beyond the enemy's attack range, he immediately locked his gaze onto Yuan Er.
Domain Unfolding! Endless Bone Domain!
As Gu Yi's words fell, both he and Yuan Er vanished from the arena. Yuan Yi's Fourth Soul Skill consequently struck empty air.
"What? How is that possible?! Where did he go?! Where's my brother?!" Yuan Yi roared at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief.
"I don't know either. Ask your brother yourself after the match ends." Zhu Zhuqing replied coldly, her pretty face devoid of emotion.
It was only because she was often with Gu Yi that others had failed to realize she was not actually so approachable!
Hell Stab!
"Where is this? What did you do? What kind of damned place is this?!"
Within the Endless Bone Domain, Yuan Er looked around in panic and shouted.
He was seated on ground formed from countless corpses and bones. Before him stood a mountain of bones, and at its peak was a throne built from all kinds of skeletal remains. Gu Yi sat upon it.
He looked down coldly at Yuan Er, as though he were looking at an ant.
"This is my Endless Bone Domain, my territory. Here, I make the rules," Gu Yi said indifferently.
He had not pulled Yuan Er in here for any other reason. He simply wanted to test just how useful this domain of his was.
But after entering the domain, a feeling of supreme dominion over heaven and earth rose naturally within him.
He could clearly feel that everything here was under his control, as though every part of this place was an extension of his own body. With a mere thought, he could alter everything within it.
"Monster! You monster! Let me out!" Yuan Er forced himself to stand, glaring at Gu Yi as he shouted.
"What's the rush? Didn't you say you were going to show me how formidable you are?"
"Come on, let me see how many seconds you can survive here!"
Gu Yi watched him with interest as a violent aura quietly took hold of his mind.
Fourth Soul Skill! Wind Sweeping Away Clouds! Yuan Er was terrified beyond measure, but he still forced himself to unleash his strongest soul skill.
A hurricane capable of destroying everything formed around him. Every gust of wind seemed like a blade as it swept toward Gu Yi at incredible speed.
Gu Yi gave a disdainful chuckle at the sight and said in a low voice, "Bone Dragon."
In an instant, countless bones gathered together. In the blink of an eye, a gigantic Bone Dragon nearly a hundred zhang tall appeared before Yuan Er.
Ghostly green flames burned in its eyes. With a light swipe of its foreclaw, the hurricane it stirred up instantly shattered Yuan Er's soul skill.
It slowly lowered its head and let out a furious roar at Yuan Er!
Roar!
The next moment, Yuan Er fainted from fright. His pathetic tears even soaked his pants.
"Boring," Gu Yi murmured. The entire space then instantly dissipated, and the two returned to the arena.
By then, Zhu Zhuqing had already pinned Yuan Yi to the ground, leaving him unable to move. Tears of regret covered his face.
Seeing this, Gu Yi turned to the stunned referee hovering in the air and smiled.
"Can you announce the result now?"
