The next match was Ye Fan against Ju Zi's group.

As soon as both sides entered the arena, Ju Zi's group reported their personal information first.

Ju Zi introduced herself first. "Ju Zi, martial soul: orange, Rank 33 Soul Elder!"

Then Keke introduced herself with a look of disdain. "Keke, martial soul: Thousand Machine Iron Sense, Rank 32 Soul Elder!"

At the same time, Keke did not forget to mock Ye Fan. "Ye Fan, I might as well tell you—my martial soul is specifically made to counter fast-moving soul masters like you."

"Hurry up and admit defeat. Let this young lady beat you up, and I'll spare you."

As she spoke, she even waved her delicate fist at Ye Fan.

When Ye Fan heard Keke's martial soul, he frowned slightly.

He really did not understand such a peculiar martial soul, but judging from Keke's description, it seemed to have some unusual use.

So Ye Fan kept an eye out and said to Ye Guyi beside him, "Sister, pay attention to that Keke's martial soul."

Hearing this, Ye Guyi also nodded solemnly. "All right!"

Then Ye Fan reported his information. "Ye Fan, martial soul: Death Angel, Rank 26 Grand Soul Master."

Next was Ye Guyi. "Ye Guyi, martial soul: Holy Angel, Rank 36 Soul Elder."

Both sides took their positions, and then the battle erupted.

Ye Fan and Ye Guyi still followed their old tactic: high-speed movement.

Across from them, Ju Zi and Keke exchanged a glance.

They settled on their battle plan at the same time, and Keke said, "Ju Zi, I'll handle defense and positioning later. You take charge of the main attack."

Hearing this, Ju Zi did not refuse.

Ju Zi did not refuse. Instead, she released her own martial soul, "orange," while countless metal cannon barrels lit up around her, all aiming at Ye Fan and Ye Guyi's positions.

As Keke released her martial soul, the invincible barrier around her automatically lit up. Her martial soul also faintly revealed a certain halo, locking firmly onto Ye Fan and Ye Guyi's positions and directing the metal cannon barrels to launch attacks toward where the two of them were.

When Ye Fan saw Ju Zi's magical orange martial soul, he did not underestimate it. Instead, he warned Ye Guyi aloud, "Sister, be careful of that orange martial soul across from us."

He did have some understanding of the orange martial soul. Although this orange was a plant-type martial soul, it possessed a terrifying ability—explosion.

And its power would increase as the soul master's rank increased.

Because of that, Ye Fan was not sure exactly what kind of power a Soul Elder-level orange bomb would have.

So he could only speak up and remind Ye Guyi to be careful.

When Ye Guyi heard Ye Fan remind her once again to pay attention to the orange martial soul, she immediately grew vigilant.

She frowned slightly and asked, "Xiao Fan, from what I can see, their martial souls look completely ordinary. There's nothing outstanding about them."

"Do we really need to be this careful?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan said in a deep voice, "I don't know. We'll test them in a moment and find out."

Ye Fan could not tell Ye Guyi that he could predict the future, so he could only tell her to test them first.

After that, Ye Fan moved at high speed to draw fire, while Ye Guyi tried to launch an attack.

But very quickly, Ye Guyi and Ye Fan discovered just how unusual and strange the opponents' abilities were.

Keke, across from them, seemed able to predict the two of their movements, always using cannon fire to lock onto them one step ahead of time.

After several rounds of cannon fire, both Ye Fan and Ye Guyi looked somewhat battered.

Although they managed to narrowly dodge the opposing cannon fire each time with the angels' high speed, the shockwaves from the shells exploding in midair still left both of them feeling miserable.

At this moment, Ye Fan's mind was working rapidly. He first had Ye Guyi take up the defensive position and draw the enemy's fire.

He himself hid behind her and began thinking of a way to respond.

Very soon, Ye Fan finally thought of Keke's ability: "metal sensing."

At once, a bold idea formed in Ye Fan's mind.

He secretly transmitted his voice to Ye Guyi with soul power. "Sister, take down your invincible barrier and put away your soul tools."

The two of them had only barely avoided injury by relying on the invincible barriers and the angels' high speed. If they took down their invincible barriers and soul tools now, would the two of them not become living targets?

Hearing this, Ye Guyi had just been about to retort, "Xiao Fan, are you crazy?"

But Ye Fan interrupted her. "Sister, trust me."

Ye Guyi dodged the opposing cannon fire while looking troubled.

In the end, Ye Guyi still chose to believe Ye Fan. After all, he was the only younger brother she had.

Then, to Ju Zi and Keke's surprise, Ye Fan and Ye Guyi simultaneously put away their soul tools and invincible barriers. Even the storage soul tool was thrown straight to the ground by Ye Fan.

Just like that, the two of them used only their martial souls to fight Ju Zi and Keke, these two fully equipped soul-tool big shots.

But what was unexpected was that when Ye Fan and Ye Guyi abandoned all their soul tools, Ju Zi and Keke's aim was no longer so accurate.

At this moment, Ju Zi and Keke across from them also wore looks of disbelief. They could not believe that as soul engineers, someone would actually abandon their soul tools in a match.

This way of doing things shattered their ingrained thinking, and at the same time, it weakened their advantage.

But Ye Fan and Ye Guyi gave them no chance to react.

Ye Fan reminded Ye Guyi, "Sister, use a soul skill to take care of them."

Although Ye Guyi still looked completely bewildered, she did as Ye Fan said, activating Holy Angel and charging straight toward Ju Zi and Keke.

At the same time, there came: "Second Soul Skill—Holy Spirit Slash!"

Ye Guyi condensed a longsword of holy light in one hand and unleashed a high-powered slash at Ju Zi's position. The sword light carried the power of annihilation, instantly tearing apart Ju Zi's soul tool defenses.

With a crack, the sword light shattered Ju Zi's defense.

Just as Ju Zi was about to be defeated by Ye Guyi, at the critical moment, she suddenly hurled orange bombs at Ye Guyi like mad, intending to take Ye Guyi down with her.

Seeing this, Ye Fan immediately roared, "Sister, watch out!"

But unfortunately, it was still too late.

Those oranges still exploded all around Ye Guyi.

And though Ye Guyi heard Ye Fan's warning at the first possible moment and had already wrapped herself in her angel wings, she still could not avoid the agony of that violent explosion.

In the end, after the explosion passed, Ju Zi fell to the ground, while Ye Guyi's angel wings were left in tatters.

No matter how one looked at it, both sides had suffered heavy losses.

Seeing this, Ye Fan hurriedly flew forward and caught Ye Guyi, who was plummeting at high speed.

At the same time, he used angelic power to help heal her injuries.

Holding Ye Guyi in his arms, Ye Fan asked sorrowfully, "Sister, are you all right?"

At this moment, Ye Guyi felt the life force continuously flowing in from Ye Fan's palm and said with a hint of self-reproach, "Xiao Fan, it was my fault. I forgot that you reminded me to watch out for Ju Zi's martial soul."

"That's why I carelessly suffered her sneak attack."

Hearing this, Ye Fan quickly shook his head. "Sister, it's not your fault."

"I was just too focused on hiding my methods."

Ye Fan said with incomparable dominance, "Leave the rest to me."

After Ye Fan's brief treatment, Ye Guyi had already recovered some ability to move, and simple flight was still possible.

So Ye Fan let go of Ye Guyi, then shot out at extreme speed, arriving in the air above Ju Zi and Keke and looking down from above.

At this moment, Ju Zi no longer had the strength to fight.

Ye Fan ignored her outright, then turned his gaze toward Keke.

He said sternly, "Come. One-on-one."

Hearing this, Keke assessed the situation on the field. On the other side, Ye Guyi was injured, while on her side, Ju Zi had no strength left to fight.

Right now it's one-on-one on the field. The advantage is mine, Keke thought.
