Golden Dragon Ascending to Heaven!

Hu Liena froze where she stood, her alluring eyes filled with astonishment.

A level-twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster, with two Thousand-Year Soul Rings!

Du Busi stood off to one side with his hands behind his back, a teasing smile on his aged face as he took in everyone's reactions.

"How could this be..."

Hu Liena murmured under her breath, the confidence in her heart collapsing with a crash.

She could not help asking, "How did you absorb Soul Rings beyond your level?"

Before her words had even faded, Hu Liena realized it was inappropriate. The method for absorbing Soul Rings beyond one's level was perhaps even more valuable than a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It was clearly a secret never passed beyond the Body Sect. How could he possibly tell her so casually?

Hu Liena hurriedly explained, "Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it."

As she spoke, she cautiously watched Lu Xiao's expression, afraid he would be angered by it.

A faint smile rested on Lu Xiao's lips. "If you can defeat me, I'll tell you how to absorb Soul Rings beyond your level!"

"Fine!"

At her crisp, decisive reply, Hu Liena's eyes blazed with fighting spirit!

"Third Soul Skill! Demon Fox Transformation!"

Her third Soul Ring lit up, and pinkish-purple light flared around Hu Liena. Gentle yet fiercely aggressive Soul Power spread through every limb and bone in her body.

The faint purple mist that had originally lingered around her suddenly thickened, like rising demonic clouds, tightly wrapping around her slender figure.

Then, a pair of furry fox ears slowly emerged from atop her head, pushing through her black hair and standing upright.

The fox ears were snow-white, their tips touched with pale pinkish purple. Their soft, fluffy fur trembled lightly with each breath she took. Her pupils narrowed slightly, taking on a faintly bewitching purple gleam that lent her a touch more wild, seductive charm.

Having completed her Demon Fox Transformation, Hu Liena lightly tapped her toes against the ground. Her figure instantly became a purple blur, the white-and-purple fox ears atop her head twitching keenly.

"Second Soul Skill, Fox Charm!"

The instant she closed in on Lu Xiao, her second Soul Ring lit up, and a faint purple radiance shone from Hu Liena's eyes.

The next moment, a streak of purple light shot from her beautiful eyes.

That purple light was as swift as a flash, precisely striking Lu Xiao's eyes.

Lu Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted as an eerie purple instantly swallowed his entire field of vision.

The world before him abruptly lost its color and blurred. The sounds of wind and clamor around him vanished completely, leaving only the enchanting, beautiful figure of the girl before him.

Purple haze shrouded his eyes, and his composed gaze instantly became unfocused and gentle.

His body, which had been poised to act and ready to unleash Soul Power, suddenly froze. Even the glow of the Thousand-Year purple rings circling him stagnated slightly, and his surging Soul Power came to a complete standstill.

Fox Charm was a spiritual Soul Skill even stronger than ordinary Charm. Even high-level Soul Kings would have their minds thrown into disorder by it.

Seizing the instant Lu Xiao's mind froze, Hu Liena lightly spun, carrying a faint veil of purple mist as she silently drew close before him.

Her figure was graceful, her fox ears twitching lightly. Her exquisite, stunning face was close at hand, and her soft, warm breath brushed against Lu Xiao's jaw in wisps.

The sharp fighting spirit in her purple eyes had completely faded, replaced by seductive gentleness.

Her slender, fair right hand rose gently. Her fingertips, cool to the touch, slowly pressed against Lu Xiao's chin and slightly lifted his face.

The faint fragrance from Lu Xiao's body enveloped her. She instinctively stepped forward, and their noses were nearly touching.

Hu Liena's bewitching purple eyes fixed tightly on the boy before her, his gaze unfocused. Her eyes rippled with a seductiveness that seemed to seep into the bone.

A demonic smile curled at her lips as she softly asked, "Lu Xiao... am I beautiful?"

But the next second, clarity returned to Lu Xiao's eyes, and he gazed at Hu Liena, who was so close to him, with an unreadable smile.

He had never faced a spiritual attack before, which was why Fox Charm had caught him off guard.

Seeing those pristine, clear eyes, Hu Liena's heart suddenly panicked. She instinctively retreated, putting distance between herself and Lu Xiao.

The deliberately seductive look in her eyes instantly turned flustered and evasive, while her composed, alluring bearing shattered completely.

She had never imagined that her Fox Charm Soul Skill, which could confuse even Soul Kings, would be broken free of so easily by Lu Xiao.

A blush instantly flooded the girl's warm cheeks, spreading from her face to the roots of her ears. Even the fluffy white fox ears atop her head became tinged with a faint pink hue.

Seeing this, Ghost Douluo uncertainly asked Chrysanthemum Douluo, "Ju Huaguan, why do I feel like Na'er is the one who's been charmed instead?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shot Ghost Douluo a glance. He understood a girl's thoughts far better than Gui Mei did.

What was happening before them made it clear that Hu Liena had taken an interest in Lu Xiao!

At this moment, Hu Liena's thoughts were no longer on the duel at all.

She looked at Lu Xiao, her pale purple eyes filled with unwillingness and confusion.

Why was he able to break free from Fox Charm so quickly?

Was I really that unattractive to him?

Or had I never existed in his eyes from the very beginning...

Chaotic thoughts tangled around her heart like a mess of threads. The girl's pride had been severely wounded, and the flush on her cheeks refused to fade.

Just as she was about to sink into obsession, a sharp cry exploded beside her ear. "Na'er!"

Hu Liena instantly came back to her senses.

Du Busi cast Chrysanthemum Douluo an indifferent glance, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

What a joke. In the Body Sect's records throughout the generations, there had never been an unusual effect capable of resisting that faint fragrance.

There were even quite a few Soul Masters who had suffered cultivation deviation because of it.

"I lost focus."

Hu Liena murmured quietly, her voice cool and carrying a trace of irritation at herself.

Her first and fourth Soul Rings lit up in succession!

"First Soul Skill! Fox Fire Command!"

"Fourth Soul Skill! Formless Body!"

The dazzling purple radiance of her Soul Rings blossomed!

A faint, eerie purple glow covered her exquisite features. Her pupils completely turned crystalline purple, while the color of her white-and-purple fox ears grew deeper. The pinkish-purple mist frantically contracted and condensed, all of it flowing back into her limbs and bones.

Three clusters of dark-purple foxfire ignited out of thin air. In an instant, they took shape and transformed into three clones identical to the original, each possessing immense powers of seduction.

A trace of surprise flashed through Du Busi's eyes.

"I never expected this little girl to develop that Soul Skill to such an extent!"

Hu Liena's fourth Soul Skill originally had to be used alongside her second Soul Skill. Once activated, it allowed her to assume any form in order to Charm her opponent.

But when facing Lu Xiao, Hu Liena had no idea whose appearance she should take.

Or rather, she simply did not want to become someone else in order to Charm Lu Xiao!

A smile appeared on Chrysanthemum Douluo's face. In his eyes, Hu Liena's victory was already assured!

In the arena, four figures of Hu Liena attacked Lu Xiao at once.

"Golden Dragon Ascending to Heaven!"

Lu Xiao gave a low shout. Golden light erupted from his body, followed by a deep dragon's roar.

At the sight of this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes filled with shock!

The intelligence clearly stated that Lu Xiao had awakened a Body Martial Soul. Where had this vast, overwhelming dragon's might come from?

The pressure of this dragon's might even far surpassed that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, known as the greatest beast Martial Soul in the world!

Twin Martial Souls!

And one of them was a dragon-type Martial Soul far beyond the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul!
