The Battle of Souls Begins

Not long after, the broadcast sounded.

"The excitement continues!"

"Next, we invite the Dragon-Cloud Duo and the Black Tortoise Team to the twenty-second arena for their soul duel."

Inside the private room, Yu Tianheng, Ling Yun, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo stood up.

Shi Mo remarked, "I didn't expect our turn to come so quickly!"

"Boss, it's not too late to regret it; we can let little brother Ling Yun help you."

"Hmph! A man's word is his bond; I don't need Ling Yun's help. I can defeat you both all by myself!"

Yu Tianheng straightened his spine, held his head high, and strode out of the room toward the arena.

He was a Power Attack System soul master, his Martial Soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and his soul power was higher than that of Shi Mo and Shi Mo.

Even if the Black Tortoise Turtle Martial Souls of Shi Mo and Shi Mo were not inferior to his own, he remained confident.

He was about to reach level 30, and he intended to use this opportunity to push his own potential; he might even break through.

Sometimes, victory or defeat is decided in a single instant.

"Good luck!"

"If you win, I'll reward you with a kiss!"

Dugu Yan cared for Yu Tianheng, and she did not believe he could handle both Shi Mo and Shi Mo alone.

This was her way of providing him with some mental support.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng's fighting spirit surged, and his eyes brightened significantly.

Shi Mo and Shi Mo exchanged glances, their own fighting spirits ignited; the Black Tortoise Turtle Martial Soul was no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

In this battle, they would prove the worth of their Martial Souls.

The group soon arrived on the stage.

The host was a red-haired youth; aside from his hair, his eyes were red, and he was dressed entirely in red.

Standing there, he gave off a feeling as passionate as fire.

"The members of the Black Tortoise Team are our old acquaintances, the Soul Grand Master brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo, who possess the Black Tortoise Turtle Martial Soul."

"Prior to this, they have already won three consecutive two-on-two soul duels."

"Among the Dragon-Cloud Duo, one member is also our old acquaintance, the Soul Grand Master Yu Tianheng, who possesses the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul."

"This masked little friend is visiting the Great Soul Arena for the first time. His Martial Soul is the Yin-Yang Mirror, a Martial Soul that has never appeared before; it is unknown what kind of abilities it possesses. It is hard to imagine that he is only nine years old this year."

"What? A nine-year-old Soul Grand Master!"

"What terrifying talent."

Below the stage, the audience began to discuss, as they were very familiar with the rules of the Great Soul Arena.

Low-level soul masters could apply to challenge those of a higher rank, but this only happened with those who were invincible within their own tier and could find no opponents at their level. For others, the Great Soul Arena would not entertain such requests, as there was no spectacle to be had.

Furthermore, on the same stage, both sides were certainly soul masters of the same major rank.

Since the other three were Soul Grand Masters, Ling Yun must also be a Soul Grand Master.

The audience below, upon realizing he was a nine-year-old Soul Grand Master, joined the discussion.

The atmosphere of the entire venue was ignited.

The host did not stop them; discussion was good, as it made the atmosphere more intense. After pausing for a dozen breaths, he continued, "The exciting soul duel is about to begin."

"The Black Tortoise Team is of the Defense System, while in the Dragon-Cloud Duo, one is of the Power Attack System and the other is unknown."

"Will the Dragon-Cloud Duo prove superior and forcefully defeat the Black Tortoise Team, or will the Black Tortoise Team have better methods and secure the victory? Let us wait and see!"

"Participants of both sides, please note: you have one minute to release your Martial Souls."

"After one minute, the match will officially begin."

The host held a megaphone Soul Tool and activated his Martial Soul. Three yellow soul rings rose from beneath his feet; his Martial Soul was a Fire Sparrow, and the next moment, he soared high into the air.

On the stage.

All four released their Martial Souls simultaneously.

The brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo were quite particular; they took off their shirts before releasing their Martial Souls, displaying their granite-like muscles to the audience.

Their resolute faces and well-defined muscles drove some in the audience into a frenzy—mostly young women, followed by older women, and a very small number of men.

The soul power fluctuations on Shi Mo and Shi Mo became distinct. Their soul power appeared dark yellow, converging toward their backs and abdomens to form turtle shells, with a rune in the center of the abdominal plate.

Two yellow soul rings rose from beneath each of their feet, circling their waists.

After their Martial Soul Possession, their limbs became shorter, and they appeared a size rounder.

Yu Tianheng's Martial Soul Possession was much more dazzling. A blue light appeared on his forehead and spread downward.

It quickly turned into blue-purple electric arcs that converged toward his right arm. Immediately after, the sleeve on his right arm burst open, the entire arm grew a size larger, blue-purple dragon scales covered it densely, and his five fingers transformed into dragon claws, creating a powerful visual impact.

His soul rings did not rise from his feet, nor did they circle his waist; instead, they swirled around his thunder-flashing right arm.

Compared to the process of the three of them releasing their beast spirits, Ling Yun, as a tool spirit master, released his spirit much more simply.

The Yin-Yang Mirror appeared directly in his hand, and spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.

However, the colors of his spirit rings were one yellow and one purple, which instantly ignited the atmosphere of the arena.

"A thousand-year second ring, heavens!"

Many spectators rubbed their eyes, thinking they were seeing things.

"Unbelievable! It is truly unbelievable; Ling Yun of the Dragon-Cloud Duo actually has a purple thousand-year spirit ring as his second ring."

"Even I, a Soul Elder, do not possess a purple spirit ring."

"I believe the upcoming soul fight will be spectacular. Will the Black Tortoise Team be able to force him to use a thousand-year spirit skill? Let us wait and see."

After a brief moment of shock, the host immediately used his amplification Soul Tool to express his excitement, simultaneously driving the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

When it came to being a host, he was a professional.

"It's over! I bet on the Black Tortoise Team to win!"

"Me too!"

"Black Tortoise Team, let's go! You must win!"

"..."

After the initial shock, many people began to wave flags and cheer for the Black Tortoise Team in unison; thousand-year spirit skills were far stronger than hundred-year ones, and they couldn't allow their money to go down the drain.

Listening to the cheers from the audience below, Yu Tianheng curled his lips upward, "See that! The audience is afraid you'll lose, so they're cheering for you!"

"Boss, don't go looking for a crack in the arena floor to hide in when you lose later."

Shi Mo and Shi Mo rubbed their hands together, full of fighting spirit.

Seeing this, the host announced, "The match begins!"

As soon as the words fell, Shi Mo and Shi Mo abandoned their usual steady style, charging forward together straight toward Yu Tianheng.

The two decided to launch a pincer attack on Yu Tianheng from both sides.

"Well come!"

Yu Tianheng also charged out, aiming directly at Shi Mo, who had a lower Soul Power Level, deciding to concentrate his strength to eliminate one of them first.

His dragon claw struck with terrifying force, but Shi Mo's first spirit ring flashed, condensing a phantom of a tortoise shell to block the front.

Immediately after, his right arm retracted into the tortoise shell.

Yu Tianheng's dragon claw tore through the phantom in two seconds, striking the tortoise shell on the right arm, causing arcs of electricity to splash and sparks to fly everywhere.

The defensive power of the tortoise shell was extremely formidable, and it possessed a terrifying recoil force; Yu Tianheng felt his arm go numb.

The next moment, Shi Mo's support arrived, and he delivered a whip kick toward Yu Tianheng, sweeping at his lower back.
