On the Soul Fighting Arena, the original referee was still debating whether to find someone stronger than himself to take over, as his own cultivation was only that of a seven-ring Soul Saint.

If these two Inner Court geniuses truly started fighting in earnest, he feared he would be unable to control the situation.

But now that Xuan Zi had arrived, he had no more concerns.

"Inner Court sparring, stop at the point of contact."

"Begin!"

As soon as the words fell, flames erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings rose into the air.

Dark red flames spread out, and the temperature of the entire Soul Fighting Arena spiked instantly.

Dai Yueheng also released his martial soul, and in an instant, the White Tiger possessed him.

His body grew taller, his arms thickened, white fur covered his skin, and markings appeared on his forehead.

Six soul rings rose for him as well.

Exclamations erupted from the crowd below.

Is this the peak combat power of the Inner Court seniors?

If the fights between Outer Court students were compared to this, they would be nothing more than children playing house.

While everyone was still in shock, Dai Yueheng made the first move.

His soul rings flashed, and he activated two enhancement soul skills in a single instant.

First soul skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier.

Third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

Facing Ma Xiaotao, he held nothing back.

Dai Yueheng knew clearly that once this madwoman Ma Xiaotao started fighting, she would never give him the chance to test the waters slowly.

Therefore, he had to go all out from the start and strive for a quick victory.

The next moment, Dai Yueheng pushed off the ground and charged toward Ma Xiaotao.

At the same time, his second soul ring flashed.

White Tiger Intense Light Wave!

A white beam of light containing terrifying soul power shot straight toward Ma Xiaotao's chest.

But facing this attack, Ma Xiaotao didn't even bother to dodge; her own soul ring flashed.

However, she used her first soul ring, which was also her first soul skill.

Phoenix Fire Line!

The two energy attacks, condensed from soul power, collided in mid-air. The resulting shockwave forced the students in the front row to retreat several steps.

When the students looked up again, they discovered that the two attacks had actually canceled each other out!

On the surface, it was a draw, but in reality, Dai Yueheng had lost this exchange.

After all, he had used his second soul skill, while Ma Xiaotao had only used her first.

Ultimate Fire, truly terrifying!!

Seemingly having warmed up, Ma Xiaotao spread her wings and shot into the air, not forgetting to taunt him.

"Dai Yueheng, is that all the strength you have?"

"Are you scratching an itch for me?"

Dai Yueheng's expression darkened.

He stomped his foot, and his fourth soul ring lit up.

White Tiger Meteor Shower!

A large expanse of white light orbs rose into the sky, raining down toward Ma Xiaotao.

Dai Yueheng could not let Ma Xiaotao wear him down from the air; if that happened, he would lose without a doubt.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao laughed even more arrogantly.

She laughed at Dai Yueheng for having neither wit nor strategy.

In the entire Inner Court, who didn't know that Ma Xiaotao was famous for her explosive temper?

She had no interest in playing a war of attrition.

If you want to fight, then let's fight hard!!

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Ma Xiaotao's fifth soul ring lit up.

Phoenix Cloud-Piercing Strike!

She charged through the White Tiger Meteor Shower, wreathed in flames, and forced her way right in front of Dai Yueheng.

Dai Yueheng crossed his arms to block.

BOOM!

He was knocked back seven or eight steps, his feet carving long furrows into the surface of the stage.

The audience below the stage collectively gasped.

Gongyang Mo shook his head as he watched.

"Sister Xiaotao is ridiculously fierce today."

"If she fought like this before, the Evil Fire would have flared up long ago."

Ling Luochen stood behind the crowd, remaining silent.

Unlike the others, she did not care about the outcome on the stage; she was more concerned with Huo Yuhao below.

The aura of Ultimate Ice on Huo Yuhao had vanished.

Yet, Ling Luochen firmly believed her intuition could not be wrong.

If Huo Yuhao's martial soul was indeed Ultimate Ice, then Ma Xiaotao's excellent condition could be explained.

After all, only Ultimate Ice could truly suppress Ultimate Fire.

After much deliberation, Ling Luochen felt she was nearing the truth.

If Huo Yuhao were to learn of her thoughts, he would only be able to give her a brief assessment.

The process was entirely wrong, but the conclusion was spot on.

Who could she even tell about this?

On the Soul Fighting Arena, Dai Yueheng had been provoked into a rage.

He no longer held back his soul power, and his fifth and sixth soul rings lit up.

White Tiger Demon God Transformation!

White Tiger Destruction Kill!

Dai Yueheng's aura surged, and his entire presence became far more oppressive.

Coupled with the three major amplification skills, his sixth soul skill made him appear like a demon god.

Seeing this, the fighting spirit in Ma Xiaotao's eyes grew even more intense.

"Now that's more like it!"

She wanted a head-on collision!

Thus, her sixth soul ring lit up.

Phoenix Meteor Shower!

Flames rained down from the sky, covering half of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Dai Yueheng gritted his teeth and charged through the sea of fire, his protective soul power fluctuating violently as it burned.

He forced his way close to Ma Xiaotao, his tiger claws tearing toward her shoulder.

Ma Xiaotao raised her leg and delivered a kick.

BANG!

Dai Yueheng was struck in the chest and sent flying backward.

But before he could land, Ma Xiaotao pushed off the ground and gave chase.

She grabbed Dai Yueheng by the collar and delivered a knee strike.

Dai Yueheng, caught off guard, took the hit head-on and groaned, immediately retaliating with his tiger claws.

The two began a fierce close-quarters brawl on the stage.

Fists, claws, flames, and soul power collided incessantly.

The scene made the outer courtyard students' scalps tingle.

Is this a sparring match?

This is clearly a real fight!

A fight to the death!

Are the inner courtyard seniors all this brutal?!

Even Tang Ya couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

"Senior Sister Xiaotao is way too fierce..."

Bei Bei glanced at her.

"Don't you ever learn that."

Hearing this, Tang Ya glared at him in immediate defiance and demanded an answer.

"Since when am I so fierce?"

"..."

Bei Bei chose silence.

Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.

Realizing what he meant, Tang Ya immediately reached out to pinch him.

"Bei Bei, what do you mean by that?"

Bei Bei had no choice but to quickly admit his mistake.

"Nothing, nothing, Xiao Ya is the gentlest."

"That's more like it!"

Xuan Zi, sitting to the side and being fed a mouthful of dog food, instantly felt the chicken leg in his hand lose its flavor, so he had to turn his gaze toward the arena and offer a few comments.

"That girl Ma Xiaotao has been controlling her Evil Fire quite well lately; there isn't a single sign of backlash."

"The attack from this kid of the Dai family isn't bad either, it's just a pity that it missed by a little..."

Before Xuan Zi could offer more commentary, the battle on the stage had already reached its conclusion.

Although Dai Yueheng was strong, Ma Xiaotao was in excellent condition right now.

With the Evil Fire not holding her back, her explosive power was fully unleashed.

The more Dai Yueheng fought, the more stifled he felt.

He tried to create distance several times, only to be forcibly suppressed back by Ma Xiaotao.

In the end, Ma Xiaotao seized the gap in his soul power connection, wrapped her right fist in Phoenix Flame, and slammed it into Dai Yueheng's abdomen.

Dai Yueheng's body arched as he slid back over ten meters, crashing into the Protective Soul Guidance Barrier at the edge of the Soul Fighting Arena.

The barrier shuddered.

Dai Yueheng knelt on one knee, wanting to stand up, but a metallic taste of blood surged into his throat.

Ma Xiaotao landed in front of him and raised her hand to retract the flames.

She did not continue the pursuit, but instead asked Dai Yueheng in return.

"Do you concede?"

Dai Yueheng looked up at Ma Xiaotao, his expression looking terrible to the extreme.

But with so many people watching from below the stage, he had no choice but to admit it.

He had lost this time.

Persisting any further would only result in unnecessary injuries.

After weighing the pros and cons, Dai Yueheng took a few breaths before standing up and saying with some helplessness.

"I lost."

Ma Xiaotao snorted and warned him once more.

"Remember this."

"Don't you dare target Huo Yuhao again!"

"Whether you want to recruit him or put on airs as a senior, stay away from him!!"

Dai Yueheng clenched his fists, then loosened them.

Elder Xuan was right there below; he could not afford to say the wrong thing now.

"Fine."

"Let today's matter end here."

Only then did Ma Xiaotao turn and step off the stage.

The crowd below immediately erupted.

The outer courtyard students looked at Ma Xiaotao with eyes full of worship, while their gazes toward Huo Yuhao became even more complex.

A freshman from the outer courtyard, capable of making Ma Xiaotao beat up Dai Yueheng in public for his sake.

What kind of treatment was this?

It was truly beyond their imagination.

In the stands, Xuan Zi also shook his body and left the Soul Fighting Zone.

However, this time, he had truly remembered the name Huo Yuhao.

This little monster had certainly caused quite a stir.

Although it carried a hint of gossip, the name of the freshman Huo Yuhao had finally become truly famous throughout the academy.

From this point on, riding the momentum of Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao finally enjoyed a relatively peaceful period of time.

Counting it up, he had only been enrolled for nearly two weeks.

In those two weeks, almost everything that happened in the Outer Courtyard had something to do with him.

It was no wonder Xuan Zi complained that he really was a little monster.

Just like that, another week passed.

While they were in the middle of a normal class, the Dean of Academic Affairs, Du Weilun, suddenly walked in and interrupted Mu Jin's lecture.

Under the confused gazes of everyone present, Du Weilun whispered something into Mu Jin's ear. Mu Jin's expression shifted, and she then looked toward Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, speaking up.

"Wang Dong, come out for a moment. Your family is here to see you."

Family?

Hearing that word, the lingering sleepiness Huo Yuhao had felt vanished in an instant.

Wang Dong's family??

Holy crap!

The God King!!
