Ha, this kid is incredibly strange! The eldest young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan! Yu Luomian is furious!

"If you cannot even endure this bit of hardship, how can you expect to endure the hardships of cultivation?"

The group immediately fell silent.

Tang San felt helpless inside... he could only say, this was very Flender!

Fortunately, Xiao Wu and the others had been pulled away by Liu Erlong, so they did not have to suffer here with him; he felt slightly better because of that.

As Shui Bing'er and Qian Renxue took the stage, the arena erupted with thunderous cheers and roars.

The attention of the Shrek group was instantly diverted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests—"

"Welcome to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena! Coming up next is a Wager Match that has captured everyone's attention!"

"The wager amount is as high as one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"However, what is even more important—"

"Our mysterious contestant is accustomed to dueling without using his Martial Soul or Soul Skills, and he has already achieved an astonishing seven-game winning streak!"

The handsome, blonde-haired male host leaped onto the podium. His Martial Soul was the Golden Lion Roar, so his voice was naturally deep and resonant; as he spoke, the sound waves rolled out, highly infectious.

"Today, can he continue his winning streak? Can he secure the crucial ten-game winning streak?"

"And can the contestant from the Ice Plains Province put an end to his legendary unbeaten record?"

"Next, let us welcome—Ice Phoenix and Fei Xue to the stage!"

"Fei Xue! Fei Xue!"

The cheers swept across the arena like a landslide or a tsunami. After being repeatedly baptized by so many matches, the audience's attitude toward Qian Renxue not using her Martial Soul or Soul Skills

had quietly shifted from initial anger and disdain to respect and worship for the strong.

However, the moment Shui Bing'er appeared, the previously one-sided momentum wavered slightly.

"Ice Phoenix! Ice Phoenix!"

That figure, perfect to the extreme, along with her aloof and cold temperament, instantly captured the hearts and minds of the audience.

Although she wore a half-face snowflake mask that obscured her full features, based solely on that cold temperament and perfect figure, it was not hard to see—

She was definitely a goddess-level figure!

"Uncle Gu, have you gathered any information on this 'Fei Xue'?"

In the VIP box, Ning Fengzhi looked at the two people in the arena, who possessed extraordinary temperaments and looked like a golden boy and jade girl, and asked.

He had been in seclusion for the better part of a month, and although he had heard that such a monstrous talent had appeared in the Soul Arena, he had never had the time to pay attention to it.

Only after coming out of seclusion did he realize how big of a stir it had caused, so he had come to the Soul Arena out of curiosity at the first opportunity to get to the bottom of it.

"Heh, this kid is extremely strange."

Bone Douluo crossed his arms, his skeletal face wearing a rare expression of toothache-like frustration.

"I've followed him several times, but every time I followed him halfway, I lost him..."

He had previously tried to extend an olive branch to recruit Qian Renxue, but the other party had blocked him with a lukewarm response.

Hindered by the fact that Ning Fengzhi was in seclusion, he dared not make too much of a scene.

He had originally intended to investigate in secret, but in the end, he hadn't uncovered any background information and instead ended up doubting his own life.

"Ordinary factions would indeed find it difficult to cultivate such a peerless monster."

Ning Fengzhi gently shook his jade fan, and the first thing that came to his mind was Martial Soul Hall.

He shifted his gaze slightly toward Bishop Salas not far away, but after learning that this fellow was also investigating in secret, he became doubtful and uncertain again.

Not far away on the other side, Yu Luomian summoned his subordinate and asked in a low voice:

"Is everything prepared?"

"Second Master, it has been taken care of! I guarantee that not even a fly will be able to fly out!"

The middle-aged man with a mole on the corner of his mouth replied affirmatively.

"Very good! Today, I will make this kid know the consequences of offending my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

Yu Luomian gritted his teeth, a cold glint baring itself in his eyes!

"But Second Master, today people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Martial Soul Hall, and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family have all arrived... Will they intervene?"

"Hmph, rest assured, I have already scouted it out! Although that brat has a mysterious background, he is definitely not from any of those factions. As long as we act quickly, it will be impossible for them to interfere."

Yu Luomian spoke with absolute confidence.

"But..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then carefully leaned in half a step, "Is it possible that he is from the Clear Sky Sect?"

These words caused Yu Luomian to furrow his brows. After a moment of silence, he let out a cold snort: "So what if he is from the Clear Sky Sect? Having been silent for so many years, they have likely long since declined."

"Besides... is my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan weak?"

Just a few days ago, Yu Tianxin fought Qian Renxue and was defeated so thoroughly that he had been left completely demoralized. That was his precious grandson, one of the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. How could he swallow this insult?

"Second Master, I just saw Miss Erlong..."

Yu Luomian's anger stalled, his expression turning complex in an instant.

After a moment of silence, the subordinate carefully added: "Also... the Eldest Young Master is there too."

However, upon hearing those words, Yu Luomian's face turned icy, and he slammed a palm onto the armrest.

"Shut your mouth! My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family has no such trash!"

Thinking of that trash still entangling himself with his daughter, he grew angrier by the second, immediately preparing to rise and tear that trash apart.

However--

"Why? Why is Second Master Yu so furious?"

A sinister voice drifted over, carrying a hint of mockery. Not far away, Bishop Salas was watching Yu Luomian with a strange smile.

"Hmph, just some trivial matters within the clan!"

Refusing to be a laughingstock, Yu Luomian forcibly suppressed his anger and sat back down, squeezing out a stiff smile.

"Oh? Is that so?" Bishop Salas rubbed salt into the wound, smiling as he said, "I just saw the Eldest Young Master of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan earlier! Why didn't you invite him up to sit with us, Second Master?"

"Bishop Salas, watch your tongue!"

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family expelled that trash from the clan over a decade ago. There is no such thing as an Eldest Young Master."

Yu Luomian replied coldly, then turned his head away, no longer paying any mind to the old face of Salas, which was plastered with malicious amusement.

Beneath the arena, the situation was treacherous and filled with hidden murderous intent.

On the arena, following a clear phoenix cry that pierced through the clamor, a fierce battle kicked off in an instant!

Shui Bing'er did not choose to attack immediately, instead casting her second soul skill first--Ice Emperor Armor!

She dared not assume the opponent lacked long-range offensive methods just because he hadn't used his martial soul or soul skills! The opponent from two matches ago had been caught off guard and defeated for that very reason.

Sure enough, Just as she donned her Ice Armor, a sword aura struck as fast as lightning!

It left a web of cracks across her crystalline armor.

Her second soul skill was originally a team defensive soul skill, but by focusing it solely on herself, its defensive power had more than doubled, barely allowing her to withstand the opponent's attack.

Had she been even a beat slower just now, this match would likely have already entered its countdown!

Shui Bing'er let out a silent sigh of relief before launching a counterattack.

The snow-white, feather-glossed wings behind her unfurled, and she maneuvered through the air, putting distance between herself and Qian Renxue to guard against her close-quarters strikes.
