I haven't even exerted myself, and you're already collapsing

"Go Twin Beauties, beat them to a pulp!"

"Go!"

"I bet on the Twin Rats to win, but I don't care about the money—just go for the kill, hit them hard!"

"..."

The advantage of their appearance was fully manifested at this moment.

Most of those cheering for the Twin Rats were old lechers; the majority of those who were lustful couldn't let go in such a crowded environment and feared public outrage, so they turned to cheer for the Twin Beauties instead.

On the arena stage.

After the host finished speaking, Dugu Yan exhaled a cloud of green Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison mist.

This was the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent. Her first soul skill, Jade Phosphorous Red Poison, acted upon herself, increasing her speed and strength by 20%.

Immediately following, her second soul skill, Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison, merged into the mist and spread toward the opposite side, moving along the ground under Dugu Yan's control.

Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison could also be called Paralytic Poison; it could increase defense by 30%, induce a state of paralysis in enemies, diminish their combat status, and lower their combat effectiveness.

As soon as Dugu Yan's martial soul appeared, the suppression power inherent to a top-tier martial soul made Wang Ying's legs go weak.

Within the same major rank and both being beast martial souls, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent was a natural predator of the Field Mouse in the biological chain.

The state of martial soul suppression was fully stacked.

Looking at Huang Yue, although his Weasel martial soul also felt the suppression when facing the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, the impact was not significant.

In the biological chain, the weasel was agile and possessed high poison resistance, making it, conversely, a natural predator of most venomous snakes.

That the Jade Phosphorous Serpent could still exert suppression on his martial soul only proved that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent was of an extremely high tier.

"Old Huang, my legs are weak!"

Seeing this, Dugu Yan was not surprised. Against a mere Field Mouse martial soul, provided the soul power gap was not more than thirty levels, combat effectiveness would be suppressed to at least half of its normal state when encountering a Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

Not to mention that the soul power fluctuations of this guy Wang Ying were not even as strong as his, just barely reaching level 25. If Wang Ying had a firm will, he could resist the suppression and maintain 50% of his strength.

But Wang Ying's willpower was clearly insufficient; in the current situation, even 10% combat effectiveness would be considered high.

"I haven't even exerted my strength yet, and you're already about to collapse!"

"A lecherous rat like you only belongs in the gutter; appearing openly on the soul fighting stage is just asking for humiliation."

Wang Ying was now unable to retort. The martial soul suppression was too great; although the Field Mouse martial soul was his, it was completely beyond his control.

Seeing his teammate's state, Huang Yue shook his head. His soul ring configuration was the optimal ratio, even better than his own, and yet, this was it!

He was unreliable, completely untrustworthy.

Huang Yue directly released his second soul ring. This was his only century-level soul ring, and its effect was to increase speed by 30%.

He stomped his foot hard on the ground, his entire body turning into a phantom as he charged rapidly toward Dugu Yan.

He already sensed that his soul power could not match Dugu Yan's, so he had to strike unexpectedly and end the fight quickly. If the battle dragged on, he too would fall to the snake venom.

"Agility-type? Come on then!"

Dugu Yan also charged out, and three breaths later, the two had engaged in combat.

Huang Yue's claws swiped toward Dugu Yan's flank. Releasing his first soul skill, sharp nails grew from his claws, gleaming with a cold light. Dugu Yan felt a touch of danger; this soul skill could break her defense.

Dugu Yan had received guidance from Dugu Bo, so her close-combat ability was not weak. Her strikes were like the wind; she blocked Huang Yue's attack, countered with a grapple, and then flung him into the air.

She immediately exhaled more poison mist, shrouding her body; the mist was a natural defense.

After landing, Huang Yue ran rapidly around Dugu Yan, circling to her back to continue his attack. Dugu Yan raised her tail and whipped it down heavily, churning up a large swath of the poison mist.

Huang Yue tapped his feet lightly, moved laterally for a distance, and continued his attack, launching his first soul skill toward her rear flank.

Dugu Yan's combat instincts were strong enough that her body moved before her thoughts. She blocked Huang Yue's claw strike with a backhand. Seeing this, Huang Yue retreated upon contact, embodying the true essence of an agility-type soul master. His heart pounded violently, and he subconsciously took a breath. As the poison mist entered his nose and mouth, Huang Yue felt dizzy, and his soul power circulation became sluggish.

He held his breath again, but this was not a long-term solution; the poison mist was pervasive, and he lacked the ability to seal every pore on his body.

Dugu Yan didn't care about that; she sprayed poison mist whenever she had the chance.

The poison mist rose, shrouding the competition stage, and under Dugu Yan's control, it began to surround Huang Yue.

"High speed is useless; where can you hide from an area-of-effect soul skill!"

"This isn't the Great Star Dou Forest; my poison mist is more than enough to cover the entire arena."

Soon, except for the one-meter radius around Ye Lingling, every other part of the stage was blanketed in toxins.

Wang Ying did not have Huang Yue's capabilities; his poison resistance was poor, and within moments, he was paralyzed by the toxins, struggling even to move his fingers.

This was the terror of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's venom!

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison mist grew thicker and thicker, and the audience could only vaguely see figures moving.

As the match progressed to this point, it became less friendly to most of the audience. Only soul masters with powerful spiritual strength could see clearly; most of the audience could only stare at the shifting mist, guessing at the battle within.

After Huang Yue launched a few more attacks, he could no longer hold on. He stopped on the ground and stared at Dugu Yan, saying, "We surrender!"

Dugu Yan did not disperse the poison mist immediately. She quickly approached Wang Ying and stomped down hard between his legs.

A miserable scream erupted from Wang Ying.

He clutched his crotch, glaring at Dugu Yan with eyes full of hatred.

His happiness was gone! He had no way to reach the kind of Soul Masters capable of healing such an injury.

While Ye Lingling and Ling Yun could both treat external wounds like this, there was no way they would ever heal him.

"You lecherous rat, consider this a lesson. You should be grateful you didn't run into me outside; otherwise, there would only be one outcome for you: death without a whole corpse."

Dugu Yan didn't care about his gaze at all. In fact, she hoped he would try to tail her after they left the arena so she could nip the problem in the bud.

She was no saint, after all.

As the poison mist dissipated, the audience caught sight of Wang Ying's miserable state. Combined with the screams from moments ago, most of the men felt a sympathetic ache, a phantom pain radiating between their own legs just from looking at him.

The host slowly descended onto the arena stage, unable to bear the sight.

Dugu Yan said, "Are you not going to announce the result of the match?"

The host snapped back to reality, hurriedly bringing his megaphone Soul Tool to his lips to announce, "The Twin Beauties Duo wins!"

"Hmph! Lingling, let's go!"

Dugu Yan pulled Ye Lingling along, and the two walked off the stage, leaving behind two stunning silhouettes.

On the stage, perhaps out of pity, the host said to Wang Ying and Huang Yue, "That young lady just now is the granddaughter of Poison Douluo. You two had better watch yourselves!"

Wang Ying's face turned deathly pale! His heart was filled with despair!

Cold sweat broke out on Huang Yue's back. He made up his mind right then and there to stay far away from Wang Ying; this friend he had only met in Heaven Dou City was no longer worth keeping!

Huang Yue helped Wang Ying up, and the two stumbled off the stage. "Things have reached this point; you should leave Heaven Dou City and go into hiding!"

"This is a small token of my sincerity!"

Huang Yue took out thirty Gold Soul Coins and handed them to Wang Ying. This was the money they had earned together through their partnership, and now, he wanted none of it.

Filled with terror, Wang Ying didn't think twice; he took the Gold Soul Coins and quickly fled the Great Soul Arena.
