Xiao Wu's opponent for her fifth consecutive victory was likewise given a little extra difficulty by the Balak Great Soul Arena. Her opponent was an agility-attack Soul Master with incredible speed, whose Martial Soul was Leopard and whose Soul Power Level was 19.
Yu Yan, wearing a mask, sat in the stands and watched the two figures dart rapidly across the Soul Fighting platform as they tested each other, curious about the outcome of the battle.
Xiao Wu was not very confident about this Soul Fighting match. Before the match, she had told Yu Yan not to bet too many Gold Soul Coins on her, lest they lose all the hard-earned money in one go. Yu Yan followed Xiao Wu's wishes and wagered only one-third of their Gold Soul Coins.
Xiao Wu's Soul Power Level was lower than her opponent's, but with the support of the soul skill Full Amplification, her speed was no weaker than her opponent's. Her agility when changing directions far surpassed that of the Leopard Martial Soul user.
After realizing this, Xiao Wu frequently changed directions across the Soul Fighting platform, gradually gaining an absolute advantage in the battle.
During one straight-line pursuit, Xiao Wu flipped upside down and leaped through the air, successfully arriving behind her Leopard Martial Soul opponent. She accelerated after him and kicked both feet into his back, successfully claiming victory in this Soul Fighting match.
"Damn it, I should have let you bet all the Gold Soul Coins on me winning. Then we could've made a killing."
After the match, Xiao Wu said this while standing beside Yu Yan.
Over the past few days, she had already experienced what it felt like to have money, and she wanted to earn even more Gold Soul Coins.
"We still made quite a bit. Next is the duo match. Let's go to the 27th Division Soul Fighting Arena and get ready."
The opponents from the Main Soul Fighting Arena had caused many spectators who had originally bet on him and Xiao Wu to win to switch sides. They should be starting to regret it now.
Yu Yan, however, was not dissatisfied by this at all. His emotions had always been steady.
After the host warmed up the crowd, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu met their opponents for this match on the Soul Fighting platform of the 27th Division Soul Fighting Arena: the Green-White Duo.
The Green-White Duo consisted of two beautiful women. The woman in white was named Bai Hua, while the woman in green was named Qing Ci. Their Martial Souls were White Snake and Green Snake respectively. This pairing reminded Yu Yan of two women from a television drama he had once watched.
"Ever-Victorious Duo. What an arrogant yet adorable name. But, ah~, little ones, I'm afraid your winning streak will end at the hands of us sisters."
On the Soul Fighting platform, Qing Ci sized up the two children before her and cheerfully declared her victory.
"Hmph! Every opponent we've faced says that. I've seen plenty of people who are all talk."
Xiao Wu immediately fired back, unwilling to give an inch.
"My sister and I have already won three consecutive matches in the Main Soul Fighting Arena. How can the duo teams in this division Soul Fighting Arena be compared with us?"
"Once you're knocked flat in a moment, you'll be ashamed of what you said just now."
"What a bold little girl."
Seeing Xiao Wu about to continue bickering with them, Yu Yan tugged at her, signaling for her to stop. It was enough to let their strength speak for itself; there was no need for meaningless trash talk.
Xiao Wu glared at Qing Ci, then stood beside Yu Yan in a fighting stance, ready to rush forward and beat her up in a moment.
Seeing that both sides had traded enough trash talk, the host of Sub-Soul Arena No. 27 shouted for the match to begin, then quickly left the Soul Fighting platform and gave them the stage.
The battle began. Bai Hua and Qing Ci entered combat mode and completed Martial Soul Possession. Like two slithering serpents, they charged at Yu Yan and Xiao Wu one in front of the other.
Yu Yan stepped forward, possessed by Ice Fish, and condensed Frost Scale Armor over his body before advancing to attack.
Xiao Wu took a step back, activated Martial Soul Possession, and waited for an opportunity.
This was the tactic Yu Yan and Xiao Wu had discussed and refined over the past few days: Yu Yan would restrain the enemy head-on while Xiao Wu circled around to support him. It was simple, but highly effective.
"White Snake Cold Strike!"
"Green Snake Thrust!"
Bai Hua and Qing Ci had no intention of pursuing Xiao Wu. With sharp cries, their Soul Rings flashed as both of them unleashed soul skills at Yu Yan.
A cold glint flickered across Bai Hua's arm. As Soul Power flowed, a huge white snake could vaguely be seen lunging forward to bite him.
The phantom of a Green Snake was faintly visible around Qing Ci's arm. The Green Snake opened its jaws, revealing venomous fangs as it bit toward Yu Yan.
Yu Yan pushed Frost Scale Armor to its limit. The already sturdy armor hardened further, and a chill spread outward, beginning to affect the two women as they approached.
Bai Hua was the first to reach Yu Yan. Her body twisted like a snake's, successfully avoiding Yu Yan's incoming fist. Her arm shot toward the scales at his side like a nimble snake striking out its tongue.
That strike shattered part of the Frost Scale Armor, but failed to pierce it.
As his Soul Power circulated, the small shattered portion of Frost Scale Armor rapidly recovered. While repairing the armor, Yu Yan turned and swung a fist at Bai Hua.
Not wanting to take the blow, Bai Hua shifted her feet and quickly retreated behind Yu Yan.
Qing Ci followed close behind. She used Green Snake Thrust and struck the exact spot Bai Hua had just hit.
This strike likewise failed to breach Yu Yan's defenses. In terms of destructive power, Bai Hua's soul skill was clearly stronger than Qing Ci's, but a wisp of green poisonous mist drifted up from where Qing Ci had struck. Clearly, her move carried poison.
Qing Ci, who had likewise failed to cause any substantial damage, withdrew just like her sister Bai Hua. She wanted to widen the distance and wait for another opportunity.
After attacking me, you think you can leave peacefully? Not so easily.
Yu Yan moved his feet, nimbly switching Ice Fish to Fire Fish. He raised his palm toward the retreating Qing Ci and unleashed the Fire Fish Skill, Blazing Breath.
Five consecutive blasts of fiery breath sealed off Qing Ci's retreat. No matter which way she chose, she had to take one Blazing Breath head-on.
Yu Yan did not concern himself with Bai Hua. He knew Xiao Wu would seize the opportunity to strike.
Sure enough, just as Yu Yan had expected, after Bai Hua's sneak attack skimmed past Yu Yan's body, Xiao Wu immediately activated Full Amplification and charged at Bai Hua, who had just finished using her soul skill.
Bai Hua had not even had time to breathe a sigh of relief after dodging Yu Yan's fist when Xiao Wu, who excelled at close combat, closed in on her.
A fist had already reached her face. Unable to dodge in time, Bai Hua took Xiao Wu's punch head-on. The instincts she had developed from years of fighting in the Soul Fighting Arena made her react as quickly as possible, and her palm darted toward Xiao Wu like a nimble snake.
Xiao Wu sidestepped the palm, wrapped both arms around Bai Hua's waist, and used Bai Hua's waist as leverage as she flipped over, bringing both legs toward Bai Hua's neck.
The moment she realized something was wrong, Bai Hua clenched her fist and punched at the arm Xiao Wu had wrapped around her waist, trying to force it away.
However, it was already too late. From the moment Xiao Wu closed in and used Soft Technique, the scales of victory had already tipped toward Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's legs clamped around Bai Hua's neck. Using her waist to power the motion, she twisted her body, intending to give Bai Hua an aerial spinning throw.
