"Xiao Xuan, this Soul Fighting match is very important to us. Please give it your all and don't hold back."
"We've been wanting to see just how powerful your god-tier Martial Soul, the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger, really is!"
Yan took a few steps forward and said with a serious expression.
Qin Xuan gave a cold laugh and replied calmly, "Don't worry, Brother Yan. I definitely won't hold back!"
To be honest, he had never taken the Golden Generation seriously. Still, he couldn't help feeling sorry for the three of them.
Hu Liena and the others were certainly talented, but they had been terribly unlucky. They had no divine inheritance, no top-grade Immortal Herbs, and no heaven-defying Soul Bones. In the end, they had been stuck forever at Rank 89, the Soul Douluo level.
Just then, Bibi Dong spoke.
"You can compete in the square in front of Pope Hall."
"The final tournament will also be held here."
"The rules are simple. It'll be a three-on-three match."
"Xuan'er, which two young ladies do you want to join you?"
Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.
At her words, Xia Hui blinked her big eyes repeatedly, trying to catch Qin Xuan's attention.
"This..." Qin Xuan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Teacher, you know my true strength better than anyone. As for sparring with Nana and the other two, I'm more than enough on my own. And during the match, I won't use my fifth Soul Skill."
"What!" The instant he finished speaking, a flash of anger crossed Yan and Xie Yue's eyes.
Arrogant—far too arrogant!
Even with your absurd talent, Qin Xuan, you're still just a Soul King!
You're a Soul King, same as us. What gave you the nerve to take on all three of us at once?
Even Hu Liena, who had feelings for Qin Xuan, looked displeased.
She still had the pride and dignity of the Golden Generation, after all!
Qin Xuan's words showed far too little regard for the Golden Generation!
Taking on all three of them was bad enough, but he wouldn't even use his fifth Soul Skill. Did he think they were nothing but onion, ginger, and garlic?
"Xuan'er, are you sure you want to fight all three of them?" Bibi Dong gently reminded him. "The Golden Generation are the three most talented people in Spirit Hall after you. Don't underestimate them!"
"Teacher, there's no need to say more. I've made up my mind. Let's begin." Qin Xuan's expression remained calm as he walked out of Pope Hall first.
His confidence came not only from his heaven-defying strength, but also from the memories he had as a transmigrator.
He knew the Golden Generation's fighting styles and trump cards inside out!
As Qin Xuan walked farther away, everyone in the hall followed him out.
This match promised to be every bit as exciting as the final. No one wanted to miss it!
The Soul Fighting Arena in front of Pope Hall was circular, with a diameter of one hundred meters. Its floor tiles were made from special materials that could withstand most Soul Skill attacks.
Qin Xuan stood as steady as a mountain on the left side of the arena. On the other side, Hu Liena and the other two looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
A Red Cardinal stood between the two sides, serving as the referee.
Bibi Dong, Zhu Zhuqing, Song Qingling, Yue Guan, and the others stood by the railing on the raised platform of Pope Hall.
Every one of them watched the arena with eager anticipation.
The Red Cardinal was just about to announce the start of the match when a Golden Crocodile over ten meters long shot through the air straight toward Pope Hall.
Once it reached the sky above the hall, its body began rapidly shrinking. It eventually turned into a middle-aged man clad in golden armor, who slowly descended beside Bibi Dong.
"S-Second Worship, what brings you here?" Bibi Dong's expression shifted slightly, and she greeted him with utmost respect.
"Second Worship!" At those words, everyone present except the two Spirit Hall Elders, Ju and Gui, was struck with astonishment.
The Second Worship, reputed to be the strongest beneath the Limit Douluo level, had actually come out of seclusion. Everyone was caught off guard!
When they recovered, Qin Xuan and the others all bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Second Worship!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo clasped his hands behind his back and made no reply, wearing an air of utter arrogance.
His eyes were fixed on Qin Xuan. He seemed to have no interest in anyone else.
"Did you come specially to watch the match?" Bibi Dong asked softly.
Golden Crocodile Douluo gave a quiet "Mm," without even looking at her.
"I can't believe the Second Worship came to watch the match too!"
"Nana, we absolutely can't lose this match!"
Xie Yue quietly spoke to the other two.
"Just stick to the plan," Hu Liena replied gravely.
"I hereby declare the match begun! Both sides, summon your Martial Souls!" the Red Cardinal announced, then flew out of the arena on his sword.
The Golden Generation summoned their Martial Souls first.
Hu Liena: Martial Soul, Demon Fox; Rank 54 Control System Soul King; Soul Ring Configuration: two yellow, two purple, one black.
Xie Yue: Martial Soul, Moon Blade; Rank 52 Power Attack System Soul King; Soul Ring Configuration: two yellow, two purple, one black.
Yan: Martial Soul, Flame Overlord; Rank 52 Power Attack System Soul King; Soul Ring Configuration: two yellow, two purple, one black.
All three had the optimal Soul Ring Configuration.
Since Hu Liena had obtained a ten-thousand-year Head Soul Bone ahead of time, her Soul Power Level was now the highest of the three!
"Qin Xuan, Rank 59 Power Attack System Soul King. Please, give me your guidance!"
As Qin Xuan spoke, five Soul Rings—purple, purple, black, black, and black—rose one after another from beneath his feet.
Though Hu Liena and the others had prepared themselves mentally, they still couldn't help looking utterly shocked when they saw that terrifying Soul Ring Configuration with their own eyes.
The impact of this Soul Ring Configuration was in no way less than that of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
"Attack!" Xie Yue's expression darkened as he led the other two straight at Qin Xuan.
Hu Liena then stood directly in front of Qin Xuan, while Xie Yue and Yan took up positions on either side.
The three of them formed a triangle around Qin Xuan.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Kill!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Flying Sand Wild Flame!"
Xie Yue and Yan attacked Qin Xuan at the same time.
Several towering pillars of magma erupted around Qin Xuan, surrounding him completely.
Then ten crescent-shaped slashes tore through the pillars and shot toward his face.
As the slashes passed through the magma pillars, a layer of flame coated them, clearly increasing their damage and destructive power!
"Not bad!"
"But this level of attack won't hurt me!"
"Second Soul Skill, Nine Nether Evil God Transformation!"
"Self-Created Soul Skill, Evil Tiger Claw!"
Dark armor instantly covered Qin Xuan's body. He then swung a claw at the incoming crescent slashes.
Boom—
A black claw mark swept through the air.
All ten crescent slashes were wiped out!
Qin Xuan pressed his advantage, preparing to take out Xie Yue first!
"Nana!" Xie Yue suddenly shouted.
Qin Xuan turned his head and saw Hu Liena standing directly opposite him, her eyes glowing purple as she stared at him.
"First Soul Skill, Fox Charm!"
At the sight, Qin Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile. His expression remained as calm as ever as he met her gaze, completely unaffected.
"This is bad! Brother, run! My charm skill isn't working!" Hu Liena cried in panic, but it was already too late!
