Battle!

As soon as Xiao Xiao returned to the dormitory, she saw her roommate packing her luggage.

"Bai Lin?"

"Xiao Xiao, you're back."

After putting his luggage into the storage ring, Bai Lin quickly looked back. "The dorm room is empty now, isn't that great?"

Before Xiao Xiao could answer, Bai Lin sat back on the empty bed, swinging his long legs, "I dropped out of school and went back to my sect. Shall we go back together?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned. "Drop out of school?"

"Yes."

Bai Lin looked at the wall from the side. The white wall had been repaired, but cracks could still be seen.

The shadow has faded, but the effects of the Sucker Punch are far from over; the academy is abandoned and in ruins everywhere.

"The sect sent a letter, first saying that the academy would decline for at least ten years, and then saying that the academy's situation was already very dangerous, asking me to drop out of school and return to the sect, where I could go on blind dates and cultivate at the same time."

"Decline? Danger?"

Xiao Xiao refused to believe it, "The world's number one Soul Master Academy..."

"At the top level, the Sea God Pavilion has passed away; at the middle level, the teachers are either dead or injured."

"The storm is coming; we, the sect students, must return to face the future crisis."

"A group of centenarian executives, and a group of ordinary students."

Bai Lin stepped off the empty bed. "The world's number one Soul Master Academy?"

Xiao Xiao remained silent.

Thump!

Bai Lin pinned Xiao Xiao down, their faces almost touching.

"Hey, shall we go back together?"

"If it's a blind date, Xiao Xiao would definitely be excellent. He's diligent in his cultivation, considerate, and both handsome and beautiful."

"Mouth and teeth!"

Xiao Xiao cried out in alarm, quickly stepping aside and covering her chest with her hand, "It's Mei! It's Mei!"

"I'm not, I'm not."

Bai Lin took two steps back, immediately left the dormitory, and glanced back at Xiao Xiao from the side, saying, "Just kidding, I'm going back now."

Bang!

As soon as the dormitory doors closed, Xiao Xiao sat back on her bed, her expression quickly calming down.

"The storm has come... the future is here..."

"Is the future already here?"

"Blind date..."

"We both come from the same sect, but my age is already..."

"Having defeated Wu Feng first, and then Zhu Lu, Xiao Xiao is now fourth in her class."

"But the second-place finisher that year was already on the verge of becoming Soul Ancestor."

"First he defeated Bai Cai, then Wang Dong, and then he came in second in the same year?"

"Wang Dong just applied for a leave of absence from school."

"Puff!"

"They're here! They're here!"

Cheers erupted from the seats on the left, and Xiao Xiao quickly emerged from the black aisle.

Cheers erupted from the seats on the right as Dai Huabin stepped forward through the red channel.

"Opening odds! Xiao Xiao's odds are 1 to 2.7! Dai Huabin's odds are 1 to 1.5! Draw odds are 1 to 3!"

"I bet on Xiao Xiao! One hundred Gold Soul Coin!"

"I bet Dai Huabin! Two hundred Gold Soul Coin!"

As soon as the betting odds were set on their side, Xiao Xiao quickly looked back, and they immediately fell silent.

"Having just advanced to Soul Elder, he's far too confident."

Dai Huabin's eyes were fierce. "Just because you beat Zhu Lu, you think you're so great?"

Xiao Xiao snapped out of her daze, "Oh--"

Dai Huabin's veins bulged. "You wait, I'll be there soon..."

A voice suddenly echoed, "Begin the battle!"

Dai Huabin took three steps, his muscles rapidly expanded, quickly tightening his clothes, and then his sharp teeth pierced out, his fingernails growing sharp claws.

Three halos—yellow, yellow, and purple—overlapped, with a yellow halo flashing rapidly.

Dai Huabin Spit Up a beam of light, which struck Xiao Xiao directly.

Xiao Xiao also summoned three Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, took two steps to the side, and the light bullets immediately hit the ground, scattering clods of earth everywhere.

[Speed is not slow]

Dai Huabin quickly pressed forward, sometimes taking a step that covered three or four meters.

[High damage]

A Soul-Suppressing Cauldron struck Dai Huabin, Xiao Xiao quickly retreated.

As the giant cauldron came crashing down head-on, Dai Huabin dodged it with a slight step and quickly moved to the side.

As the second Soul-Suppressing Cauldron came crashing down, Dai Huabin also dodged it with a step, but the two changes of direction wasted a lot of time, Xiao Xiao had already retreated again and again.

[Pursuit!]

A yellow halo flashed rapidly, Dai Huabin was enveloped in a white Barrier, taking a step that covered more than four meters.

In terms of linear speed, tiger-type Soul Beast even surpass many wolf-type Soul Beast.

[It has high straight-line speed, but it's not good at changing direction.]

The third Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was quickly unleashed, Xiao Xiao retreated towards the first Soul- Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, which in turn retreated towards Xiao Xiao.

Dai Huabin stepped aside, but Xiao Xiao retreated half a circle, already back to the first Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

The first Soul -Soul-Suppressing Cauldron blocked Xiao Xiao's view, while the second Soul -Soul-Suppressing Cauldron had also retreated.

Just as Xiao Xiao stepped aside to make way for the third Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, Dai Huabin caught up with her and two giant cauldrons appeared before Xiao Xiao.

[Front view is not good... Side view is not good...]

Dai Huabin immediately stopped and looked directly at Xiao Xiao.

[As the captain said, long-range fighters use short-range fighters; maintain distance and position.]

Xiao Xiao took two steps back, and the three giant cauldrons unfolded, with the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron standing directly in front of Dai Huabin.

[Use it cautiously; my Soul Power is at least seven levels higher than my current level.]

Dai Huabin pressed forward, suppressing Xiao Xiao's ability to retreat.

The same scene unfolded again: Dai Huabin pressed forward, and a giant cauldron crashed down, causing Xiao Xiao to retreat. Dai Huabin pressed forward again, and another giant cauldron crashed down, causing Xiao Xiao to retreat once more.

"Dai Huabin, are you sure you can handle this?"

"Keep going in circles, keep going in circles, what are you doing?"

"Charge head-on! Charge head-on!"

"To be honest, with the White Tiger Protection Barrier stacked upon the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Xiao Xiao will definitely fall quickly; the difference in their Soul Power is too great."

A chorus of boos erupted from the audience, but Dai Huabin continued to walk around with Xiao Xiao.

The boos did not inflate Xiao Xiao. He smashed a giant cauldron, then retreated towards another giant cauldron, and the cauldron retreated towards him, perfectly trapping Dai Huabin.

However, Dai Huabin often bypassed her, seemingly intending to launch a frontal assault, forcing Xiao Xiao to concentrate on dealing with him.

A chorus of hisses followed, circling around several times. Xiao Xiao suddenly looked to the side and realized she was on the verge of going out of bounds.

[Trap!]

Xiao Xiao quickly recalled the circling process. Dai Huabin often circled in the opposite direction, which had blocked her and prevented her from circling back, causing her to keep retreating towards the boundary.

[But...]

Xiao Xiao pretended not to notice and cooperated with Dai Huabin in circling until she was on the verge of collapse.

We won!

Upon seeing Xiao Xiao on the verge of death, Dai Huabin immediately activated Soul Skill, stacking the White Tiger Protection Barrier and the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and swiftly launched a surprise attack to suppress her, Spit Up a light bullet from his mouth.

Having reached the critical point, Xiao Xiao retreated to the side to dodge the light bullets, but Dai Huabin attacked at the same time, forcing Xiao Xiao to commit all the giant cauldrons.

The three giant cauldrons came crashing down, impossible to dodge or escape. Dai Huabin struck the middle one head-on.

"Open!"

"The Cauldron Thorn!"

Xiao Xiao smiled, but her third Soul Ring did not light up.

[I've been using up too much energy; I've been trading stamina for Soul Power, and I'm more than seven levels higher than you. My Soul Power running low, and yours must be depleted.]

I won.

Dai Huabin smiled as well.

Xiao Xiao suddenly closed his eyes, and the three giant cauldrons merged into one.

[A futile struggle!]

Dai Huabin stepped aside, but the giant cauldron changed direction in Synchronize.

[It's just Lock-On Pursuit! The outcome is already decided!]

Bang!

The giant cauldron struck.

"Soul Suppression!"

Dai Huabin took a step back, even bracing himself against the giant cauldron, but the cauldron emitted a burst of black light, his head seemed to crack open, and he even let out a shriek.

"Ah!"

White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Disperse.

"Ah!"

White Tiger Protection Barrier, disperse.

Xiao Xiao flashed forward in two steps, then kicked out in a half-circle side kick.
