Heavenly Eye Technique and Meng Yiran

"You talk too much.

The host already called for the start, so naturally, I can attack.

Who says a Soul Master must activate their Martial Soul before making a move?"

Li Han's face, hidden beneath his mask, remained cold as he looked toward the host.

"Is there a problem with what I said?"

"Not at all! Let us congratulate Li Feiyu once again!

Contestant Wang Lang, please do not cause a scene. Let us begin the next match immediately!"

Since the host had spoken, Wang Lang had no choice but to swallow his resentment, even if he was unconvinced.

After all, the Great Soul Arena was a powerful establishment; it was not something he could afford to provoke.

"Li Feiyu! I'll remember you! You just wait! I will defeat you fair and square in the ring! Hmph!"

Wang Lang left the arena in a rage, while Li Han returned to the backstage area to collect his one hundred Gold Soul Coin.

"Soul Masters really do make money fast."

Li Han tucked the one hundred Gold Soul Coin away with satisfaction and then asked, "Excuse me, can you help me arrange more matches for tonight?"

"I apologize, but our Great Soul Arena regulations state that a contestant may only register for one match per day.

However, you may choose to participate in the duo or team modes. You can participate in one of each of those daily as well, independent of your individual matches."

Hearing this, Li Han felt quite disappointed.

Where was he supposed to find a teammate?

Especially since he was using this fake identity, it was impossible for him to team up with anyone he knew previously.

Otherwise, what would be the point of hiding his identity?

Therefore, he had no choice but to find a new partner.

"Forget it then, I am alone."

Just as Li Han was about to leave, he saw someone blocking his path.

"I need a teammate. You can team up with me. If we win, the prize money is all yours."

Hearing this, Li Han looked up at the person.

It was a blue-haired girl, appearing to be about eleven or twelve years old.

"Is this... Meng Yiran?"

Meng Yiran wore no disguise, so Li Han recognized her at a glance.

That smoky makeup, reminiscent of a delinquent girl, was far too recognizable.

Meng Yiran, granddaughter of the Dragon and Snake Couple, a student of the Exotic Beast Academy, whose Martial Soul was a Serpent Cane. She possessed decent talent and was also skilled in hidden weapons like the Soul-Breaking Blade.

Ding, check-in character Dong Xuan'er, reward: Heavenly Eye Technique.

Heavenly Eye Technique, basic spell, can see through an opponent's cultivation level and the specific age of a Soul Beast, though it cannot see through those whose cultivation far exceeds the host's.

Luck is good; I've gained another spell. Heavenly Eye Technique? I won't have to waste effort researching the age of Soul Beasts in the future.

Li Han thought to himself, then cast his gaze upon Meng Yiran.

Heavenly Eye Technique activated!

Level twenty-one? Her strength isn't bad. Come to think of it, she seems to be level thirty in four years, so that adds up.

"Are you willing or not? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing Li Han remain silent, Meng Yiran grew slightly anxious.

If she didn't want to keep her participation in the Great Soul Arena a secret from her grandparents, she wouldn't be lacking a teammate.

She had just watched Li Han fight from the sidelines and felt his strength was impressive, which was why she wanted to team up with him for the duo match.

I must prove it to Grandpa and Grandma! Even relying solely on my own strength, I can make a name for myself in the Soul Master world!

Meng Yiran had set this small goal for herself before coming.

"The prize money is really all mine if we win?"

"Of course! I, Meng Yiran, am not short on that kind of money.

Besides, your strength is greater than mine; teaming up with me is your loss, so you should naturally take the larger share."

She was quite understanding.

Li Han smiled inwardly and nodded in agreement.

"Fine, let's team up then."

Seeing Li Han agree, Meng Yiran was overjoyed.

"Then let's register right now! I'll pay the registration fee! What do you want to name the duo? If it were up to me, I'd call us the Soul Breaker Duo. What do you think?"

"Fine by me. I don't care."

"Then it's decided!"

Meng Yiran immediately registered at the front desk. Their next duo match was in half an hour.

In the lounge, Meng Yiran looked curiously at Li Han's mask. "Li Feiyu, why do you have to wear a mask? We're teammates now, can't you let me see what you look like?"

"There's naturally a reason for wearing a mask; it can't be shown to others so easily. Just assume I'm ugly and don't want people to see me."

"Tch, stingy. Let's learn about each other's Soul Skills beforehand so we can coordinate later. My Martial Soul is the Serpent Cane, and my first Soul Skill is Snake Blade, which can launch a poisonous blade from the snake head of the cane. My second Soul Skill is Snake Body, which allows my body to become as flexible as a snake."

After speaking, Meng Yiran released her Serpent Cane Martial Soul, and two yellow soul rings appeared. "How about it? Not bad, right? Now let me see your Martial Soul and Soul Skills."

Li Han waved his right hand, and the Gold-Devouring Thunder Spear, transformed from the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, emerged. Its spearhead was triangular, and the shaft was etched with blue thunder patterns. A soul ring appeared, appearing yellow under the effect of his second soul skill. "I won't tell you my soul skills for now; we probably won't need them in the next match."

"What! I told you mine, why won't you tell me yours?" Meng Yiran said, dissatisfied.

"I never intended to know in the first place; you were the one who insisted on telling me."

"You!" Meng Yiran felt like she was going to be angered to death by Li Han. How could anyone treat a beautiful girl like this?

"When we fight in a moment, you stay back, and I'll go first."

"Are you planning to take on two people by yourself? Even though my soul power is only level twenty-one, an average Soul Grand Master isn't necessarily my match."

"This is tactics. I'll feign an attack, and you look for an opening to win in one strike. Aren't you good at using poison? Poison should be used for sneak attacks to injure people; there's no such thing as poisoning someone head-on."

"Is that so?" Meng Yiran was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, it really made sense. If one had the strength to poison someone head-on, why go through all that trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just stab the opponent to death?

Seeing Meng Yiran's sudden realization, Li Han couldn't help but cover his forehead. As expected of a clan disciple who hasn't experienced life-or-death battles.

Half an hour later, the two stepped onto the Soul Fighting Arena for their duo match. Their opponents were a pair of brothers named Niu Tie and Niu Tong, both possessing the Iron-Hide Rhino Martial Soul, with soul powers of level twenty-seven and level twenty-five respectively.

"Haha, brother, our luck is really not bad. Not only is this a rookie duo, but one of them only has level twenty-one soul power," Niu Tong laughed loudly.

"After we win, we're having a feast tonight!" Niu Tie also felt victory was within his grasp.

"Li Feiyu, our luck seems a bit bad. We're up against such a formidable duo right off the bat," Meng Yiran said, feeling somewhat nervous.

"It's fine. Just act according to the original plan."

"Alright." Seeing Li Han's confident demeanor, Meng Yiran felt much more at ease.

"The match begins!"

"Activate Martial Souls!"

Niu Tie and Niu Tong activated their Martial Souls simultaneously, and one yellow and one white soul ring appeared alongside their Iron-Hide Rhino.

A powerful sense of oppression swept over them in an instant.

What formidable momentum. Although his spirit ring configuration isn't optimal, his spirit power is genuinely several levels higher than mine.

In a one-on-one fight, I'm afraid I'm no match for him at all.

As Meng Yiran thought this, Li Han had already lunged forward.

With a wave of his right hand, the Gold-Devouring Thunder Spear materialized, and the moment it appeared, he gripped it and thrust it straight out!
