Searching Everywhere, Great Battle with the Imperial Fighting Team

The young girl wore the exclusive uniform of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Her face was cold and aloof, her temperament ethereal, and she appeared to be about the same age as Shui Bing'er.

Unexpectedly, however, there was not a single soul around the girl; the area was desolate and quiet.

That shouldn't be right? In my past life, wouldn't a girl like this be surrounded by countless guys every time class ended?

Tuoba Xuan was somewhat puzzled, but without overthinking it, he walked up to her.

"Hello, classmate, could I ask you something?"

The girl lowered her eyes, appearing somewhat surprised by Tuoba Xuan's sudden appearance.

"No."

Leaving behind only that single word, the girl bypassed Tuoba Xuan and walked away.

Tuoba Xuan stood frozen in place.

Damn, so cold?

Immediately, Tuoba Xuan chased after her.

"Hey, classmate, don't be so cold. I'm just asking about something."

The girl grew somewhat impatient, only then raising her eyes to glance at Tuoba Xuan.

"I already said no..."

The girl's words trailed off halfway, because Tuoba Xuan was truly too unique.

It wasn't just his looks, but that astonishingly confident temperament of his.

To be fair, having a handsome face really did earn one quite a few advantages in life.

"Fine, go ahead and ask."

Tuoba Xuan cleared his throat.

"Um, classmate, do you know where Dugu Yan is?"

The girl replied:

"You're too late; Dugu Yan is already with Yu Tianheng."

Tuoba Xuan: ...

Tuoba Xuan was speechless. Who asked about that? Whoever she was with had nothing to do with him.

"That's not it. I have some business with Dugu Yan, and I was hoping you could introduce us."

"Then you haven't come at a very good time," the girl said again. "Dugu Yan isn't here."

"Where did she go?"

"Why should I tell you?" the girl said coldly.

Tuoba Xuan racked his brains to think of an excuse.

"Actually, I'm from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The sect heard that Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan are together, so they specifically sent me to check it out so the sect can prepare early."

The girl nodded, not asking any further questions.

"Alright then. My name is Ye Lingling, from the Nine Heart Begonia Family. Dugu Yan and the others have headed to Tuotie City."

"If you want to see them, we should be having a team soul fighting match at the Tuotie City Soul Fighting Arena tonight."

Tuoba Xuan was not surprised by the girl's true identity; he had already vaguely guessed it.

"Many thanks! I'll treat you to a meal when I have the chance!"

Tuoba Xuan tossed out a polite remark and hurried toward Tuotie City without a moment's delay.

It was already nearly dark; if he didn't leave now, he would be sleeping on the streets tonight.

Soon, Tuoba Xuan arrived at the city gate again, just as Ye Lingling was riding out of the city in a luxurious carriage.

If nothing went wrong, the team leader for Heaven Dou this time would be Qin Ming.

Later, they would run into Shrek in Suotuo City.

Then Shrek would win, head to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang San would meet Dugu Bo, and the immortal herbs would be plucked clean.

Tuoba Xuan thought about it; he still had a chance, provided he could make contact with Dugu Yan in advance.

If he could be the first to cure Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Poison, then Dugu Bo wouldn't capture Tang San.

Instead, he would capture him, and then, he would logically be able to take the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for himself.

Action followed thought; Tuoba Xuan felt full of drive.

Tuoba Xuan quickly arrived at Tuotie City and successfully made his way to the city's Soul Fighting Arena.

Because he needed to purchase realgar powder and strong spirits to break the poison.

By the time Tuoba Xuan arrived, the match had just begun.

This time, the Heaven Dou Royal Team's opponents were a lineup consisting entirely of Soul Elders.

However, through the suppression of their innate talent and coordination, the Heaven Dou Royal Team still secured the victory.

At the same time, Tuoba Xuan watched Dugu Yan use her Jade Phosphor Poison.

This makes things much easier.

Tuoba Xuan said calmly, then headed in the direction the seven members of the Heaven Dou team had departed.

On the other side.

"Sister Yanzi, you were truly incredible! Once the Jade Phosphor Poison came out, the opponents collapsed in an instant."

Yu Feng was gesturing exaggeratedly, spittle flying, which drew a burst of laughter from the other six.

"That's right, Sister Yanzi is truly amazing."

Shi Mo gave Dugu Yan a thumbs-up.

Dugu Yan waved her hand, acting as if what she had just done was a completely trivial matter.

"I wouldn't be so sure."

This abrupt voice shattered the cheerful atmosphere of the Heaven Dou group.

"Where did this ignorant brat come from, speaking such nonsense?"

Yu Tianheng was the first to step forward, his gaze sweeping sharply across the surroundings.

"There is no need for everyone to be so alarmed."

Tuoba Xuan walked out from the shadows nearby.

Upon seeing that he was a youth even younger than them, Yu Tianheng even let out a harsh, mocking laugh.

"Just you? And who might you be, to dare speak such nonsense?"

Tuoba Xuan chuckled.

"I am merely a passerby, but I just watched your soul fight and discovered many problems. Especially her poison; it appears flawless, but in reality, it falls apart at the slightest touch."

Ye Lingling's face was full of confusion, though she did not speak up to question him.

Dugu Yan, however, furrowed her willow-leaf brows.

"On what grounds do you say that? When it comes to poison, the Dugu Family bows to no one."

Tuoba Xuan extended a finger and waved it in front of Dugu Yan.

"What if I told you that I can neutralize it?"

Dugu Yan was extremely displeased by Tuoba Xuan questioning her family's heritage. "Oh? Just you? Then tell me, how exactly would you break the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison?"

"Exactly! If you can't neutralize Yanyan's poison today, you'll have to give us an explanation."

The others were also quite indignant.

Tuoba Xuan waved his hand, signaling them to calm down; he knew he was the one who had initiated the challenge.

In his past life, without evidence, he would have been guilty of slander.

"Why don't we head to a Soul Fighting Arena? The truth will naturally reveal itself, and I can teach you a thing or two about combat awareness while I'm at it."

Tuoba Xuan smiled faintly and turned to walk toward a closed-off Soul Fighting Arena.

At the same time, Qin Ming heard the commotion and walked over.

"Who is he?"

"Don't know. Just some arrogant kid."

Yu Tianheng snorted coldly, the veins on his arms already beginning to bulge.

The group followed Tuoba Xuan to the side of the Soul Fighting Arena.

"Yanyan, let me properly teach this arrogant guy a lesson for you."

Yu Tianheng stared fixedly at Tuoba Xuan on the stage.

"No need. I'll go up myself. I want to see exactly how he intends to break my Jade Phosphor Snake Poison."

Dugu Yan sneered, treating him like a clown performing for an audience.

"No need for that. Both of you come up together—or, all seven of you can come up if you like."

Tuoba Xuan stretched his body and spoke arrogantly.

Yu Tianheng was so angry he laughed.

"Truly arrogant. I just wonder if you have the ability to back it up."

In the end, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan both stepped onto the stage.

Qin Ming did not pay much attention to this, merely instructing the two of them not to injure Tuoba Xuan.

Clearly, Qin Ming had never once considered that the two of them might lose.

Even the other members of the Imperial Fighting Team wore expressions of disdain, convinced that Tuoba Xuan would not be able to last even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"Yu Tianheng, Level 39 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder, please offer your guidance!"

Yu Tianheng straightened his sash, his tone brimming with confidence as faint arcs of electricity danced across his body.

"Dugu Yan, Level 36 Control System Battle Soul Elder, please offer your guidance!"

Dugu Yan's eyes shifted into a frigid shade of blue, and behind her, the Jade Scale Snake flicked its sinister, cold tongue.

Tuoba Xuan wiped the playful expression from his face.

In truth, he did not understand why people on the Douluo Continent felt the need to announce their Soul Power information before a fight.

"Tuo Longhu, Level 38 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder, please offer your guidance!"
