Taking Part in Soul Fighting
"Battle Soul Elder Mad Tiger wins, record: 55 wins, 31 losses. Miss Shelly's record: 28 wins, 11 losses..."
With the host's announcement, the battle on the third Soul Fighting came to an end.
Mad Tiger was a veteran Soul Elder with extremely rich combat experience. After witnessing Yang Shelly's fighting style, he decisively abandoned his previous method of overwhelming others with his power and instead chose a fighting style that combined hit-and-run tactics with defense. With his level 38 Soul Power, he managed to drag the level 32 Yang Shelly down until she was too exhausted to fight.
After the Soul Fighting, neither Mad Tiger himself nor Yang Shelly suffered any injuries, except for the severe depletion of their Soul Power and physical strength.
Ling Yi sat in the audience and secretly cheered for the Mad Tiger on stage.
If this person were to engage in a Soul Fighting with Xiao Wu, their safety would be absolutely guaranteed.
It must be said that, when facing Soul Master from the [Breaking Clan], Mad Tiger's choice may not be the best, but it is definitely the safest and most convenient.
The Yang family, who are all offense and no defense, possess an unparalleled martial spirit bloodline. However, because they focus too much on increasing their attack power, they are weak in terms of movement speed, physical and elemental defense, compared to their peers.
With such a specialized attribute, a single tactic like "flying a kite" is enough to make the opponent invincible.
Yang Shelly walked off the stage with a slightly dejected look, her gaze towards Ling Yi somewhat evasive. Her fair face was flushed, whether from exhaustion or a touch of awkward shyness, it was hard to tell.
Originally, she brought Ling Yi to the Dragon Rising Soul Fighting Arena hoping to show Ling Yi her heroic and valiant demeanor, to decisively defeat her opponent, and to have their encounter today with Ling Yi while basking in the glory of victory.
This kind of mentality is normal.
Peacocks displaying their plumage to show off their best qualities to the opposite sex is not just a male-only activity. When they encounter a sufficiently high-quality man, the initiative and enthusiasm of young women are just as impressive.
As the old saying goes: A woman adorns herself for the man who appreciates her.
Seeing the young lady's embarrassment, Ling Yi couldn't let the emotions continue. He immediately stepped forward and summoned his "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul. As the third purple Soul Ring flashed, a bright green light carrying a strong Life landed on the young lady.
"Hiss—Ugh—"
Her weary body was suddenly nourished by Life energy, and Yang Shelly shivered comfortably. She subconsciously took a deep breath and then wanted to groan, but she reacted immediately and forcibly suppressed the impulse.
Just then, Ling Yi asked softly with concern, "How are you? Shelly, are you feeling better?"
At this moment, Yang Shelly no longer cared about the embarrassment of her previous defeat. While enduring the physical pleasure, she forced a smile and said to Ling Yi intermittently, "Much... much better, thank... thank... Brother Yi— "
This is Douluo Continent, not the bizarre society full of fairies from my previous life.
Therefore, many of Ling Yi's experiences from his previous life are not applicable here, but the principle remains the same: sincerity and a smile, plus a handsome face that makes people lose their minds, will naturally make him invincible.
Of course, comparatively speaking, Ling Yi actually prefers Douluo Continent a little more.
There's no other reason than that the social atmosphere here is relatively more "simple and honest".
When reading novels or watching TV dramas, readers and viewers often feel disgusted, even hateful, when characters in the plot are obsessed with romance. However, if one were the one being favored, the famous quote from the renowned philosopher Jingze would come to mind.
After resting for about an hour, encouraged by Yang Shelly who felt she had recovered well, Ling Yi also registered and qualified to participate in the Soul Fighting.
After signing up for the two-on-two Soul Fighting Competition with Yang Shelly, it wasn't long before it was time for the two to go into battle.
In the No. 5 Soul Fighting Arena.
"... The seventh match of the two-on-two series: the Lion Tiger Duo versus the Unrivaled Grass-Cutting Duo—!"
As the host announced their arrival, Ling Yi and Yang Shelly stepped onto the stage, both of them taken aback when they saw their opponents.
One of the two burly men opposite her also looked at Yang Shelly with a surprised expression.
It was a twist of fate that Ling Yi encountered his nemesis on such a narrow road. One of the two opponents was none other than the Mad Tiger Battle Soul Elder who had previously defeated Yang Shelly.
At this moment, Ling Yi could feel that Yang Shelly beside him suddenly ignited her aura, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with fire as she stared straight at her opponent.
Seeing Yang Shelly's fierce fighting spirit, the host on the sidelines, though unaware of the reason, was pleased and immediately announced loudly, "The match begins!"
At a command, the four on the stage simultaneously cast aside all distractions, their Soul Power surging as they summoned their Martial Soul.
The Lion Tiger Duo, as the name suggests, have Martial Soul of "Battle Tiger" and "Blazing Lion". After their Martial Soul are attached to their bodies, manes grow on their hands, feet, heads and faces, fangs protrude from their lips and sharp claws extend from their fingertips, making them look majestic, wild and fierce.
On the other side, Ling Yi and Yang Shelly appeared to be much less imposing. Both of them possessed Tool Martial Soul, and as their Soul Power flashed, one wielded a "Long-Handled Scythe" Martial Soul, while the other held a "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul that resembled a vine or whip.
The combination of Soul Ring on both sides caught the attention of the audience in the surrounding stands.
Mad Tiger and Mad Lion are familiar faces at the Dragon Rising Soul Fighting Arena. Everyone knows that their Soul Power has reached level 38 and 39 respectively. The former has one white, one yellow and one purple Soul Ring, while the latter has one white and two yellow soul rings.
However, Ling Yi and Yang Shelly both look very young. According to the host, not only is their Soul Power level 32, but their Soul Ring configuration is also two yellow and one purple!
This is interesting. One side has higher Soul Power, and the other side has better Soul Ring. It's still unknown which one is stronger.
For a moment, many people who had placed bets on the outcome were staring intently at the Soul Fighting, afraid of missing any crucial match point.
"Brother Yi ~" Yang Shelly stared at the two men, Mad Tiger and Mad Lion, opposite her, and whispered to Ling Yi beside her, "I understand that guy's tactics and I've thought of a way to deal with them. You just stay in the back and heal me when you have the chance... If you don't have the chance, that's fine. Just run if anything happens and protect yourself."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yi looked at Yang Shelly's perfect profile, which exuded a heroic spirit and a sharp edge. He had to admit, she was very attractive.
If this were filmed and posted on a short video platform from my past life, countless people, regardless of age or gender, would be screaming, "Sister, kill me!"
Faced with Yang Shelly's instructions, Ling Yi didn't say anything like "I'm also very good at fighting." He had already told her before that he was Healing System Soul Master, and when he registered, he wrote that Support System Soul Master.
A slight nod and a simple "hmm" were enough to put Yang Shelly at ease, allowing her to focus wholeheartedly on the confrontation between the tiger and the lion opposite her.
