Lightning Whirlwind Cleave

While Xia Yuan and Ye Lingling's two-on-two match against Laike and Laibi was still underway on the Soul Fighting Arena, the spectator stands buzzed with discussion.

"What Martial Soul is that?"

"Never seen it before. No idea."

"What are we eating tonight?"

"Yeah, what are we eating?"

"I just came from the one-on-one area. That young man's codename is Emperor Hero. I heard his Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass!"

"What? Blue Silver Grass?!"

The spectators at the different Soul Fighting Arenas were not all the same people, nor were the arenas fully connected. Some viewers had no idea what was happening at the other arenas.

Now that someone who had watched Xia Yuan's one-on-one match revealed his Martial Soul, an uproar immediately broke out in that section.

Meng Shenji had brought people over here as soon as Xia Yuan and Ye Lingling took the stage.

Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng still wore expressions of utter disbelief.

Xia Yuan's performance had simply gone far beyond their understanding.

How could a plant-type Martial Soul be unafraid of blades and axes?

Xia Yuan had used his first soul skill. They could tell it had likely made his Martial Soul tougher.

But the Laike and Laibi brothers had released two soul skills as well!

Especially Xia Yuan's second soul skill, which Yu Tianheng had nearly experienced firsthand.

He himself had been unable to dodge it back then. Could Laike and Laibi really dodge it?

Zhi Lin, however, had his gaze fixed on Ye Lingling.

Just what had Xia Yuan trained Ye Lingling to do?

Xia Yuan alone was currently withstanding the pressure from both opponents. They could not see what Ye Lingling could possibly do.

Just like that, the Laike and Laibi brothers finally reached the area in front of Xia Yuan and Ye Lingling amid their constant spinning advances.

A strand of Blue Silver Emperor silently crept up from the ground and coiled around Ye Lingling's waist.

Ye Lingling held the Nine Heart Begonia in one hand as her two soul rings slowly pulsed.

Having realized how troublesome Xia Yuan was, the Laike and Laibi brothers decisively unleashed their third soul skills at the same time.

"Lightning Whirlwind Cleave!"

Two streaks of lightning suddenly exploded from their long rulers, bursting with blinding radiance.

In that instant, even many spectators were dazzled by the electric glow and reflexively shut their eyes.

Yu Tianheng instinctively shouted in approval, while Qin Ming stared intently at Xia Yuan's movements.

Xia Yuan was not affected by the sudden burst of lightning from the Laike and Laibi brothers.

The moment their opponents released their third soul skills, he and Ye Lingling had already closed their eyes.

But their senses were not limited to sight.

The two of them retreated explosively almost in unison.

From beginning to end, Zhi Lin had kept his eyes on Ye Lingling.

Although Xia Yuan's Blue Silver Emperor was wrapped around Ye Lingling's waist, her movement just now had been an instinctive reaction of her own. Xia Yuan had not dragged her away.

That meant Ye Lingling herself had anticipated it.

Zhi Lin recalled what Xia Yuan had said when he had rebuked Qin Ming, and he could not help nodding.

Rather than only thinking about running away, it was better to create a situation where there was no need to run.

Ye Lingling's retreat proved that even if she had not specially trained in running as Qin Ming had claimed, her ability to "escape" was certainly not weak.

Looking back at Yu Tianheng and the others' previous matches, there had simply been no combat aesthetics to speak of.

Yu Tianheng had relied purely on overwhelming strength. His top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, had faced opponents weaker than him in both Soul Power and Martial Soul.

Osler and Shi Mo had both practically dragged out their victories.

The battle Zhi Lin had considered passable just moments ago now seemed bland and unremarkable.

On the Soul Fighting Arena, Xia Yuan was not merely retreating. At the same time, he controlled the Blue Silver Emperor vines to intertwine and condense into a shield wall.

Though it lacked the enhancement of a soul ring or soul skill and could only rely on its own defenses to withstand the attack head-on, it could still hold for a moment.

Laike and Laibi's soul skills finally came crashing down.

That dazzling electric light had been meant to conceal their attack.

But Xia Yuan struck later and arrived first. His second soul ring lit up as the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear condensed in his hand.

Before the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear had fully taken shape, Xia Yuan had already hurled it.

Beyond the shield wall formed from Blue Silver Emperor, Laike and Laibi's attack had arrived.

Within the shield wall, the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear, still incomplete and visibly much weaker, had arrived as well.

After all, Xia Yuan's second soul ring had already reached the ten-thousand-year level. If he fully condensed it and unleashed its complete power, things could easily get out of hand.

With a boom, a towering cloud of dust erupted from the spot.

The entire Soul Fighting Arena seemed to shake as Laike and Laibi's figures were completely swallowed up.

Xia Yuan and Ye Lingling quickly moved away.

When the dust settled, Xia Yuan's Blue Silver Emperor had vanished, while the Laike and Laibi brothers lay on the ground, their condition unknown.

The host hurried over to the brothers and checked for signs of life, only then breathing a sigh of relief.

The two had merely been injured and knocked unconscious by the impact. They were not dead.

"Snow Emperor Team wins!" the host swiftly announced the result.

Loud cheers erupted from the spectator stands.

Ye Lingling had not made a move throughout the entire match, so no one knew what her abilities were.

To most people, this had been a flawless one-against-two battle by Xia Yuan.

Once Xia Yuan returned with Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan and the others also went to register in the one-on-one Soul Fighting area.

"Not bad, very good." Meng Shenji patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder.

"And Dugu Yan's group, Dream Education Committee member, let's watch them too," Qin Ming said from the side.

Meng Shenji could not help feeling irritated.

Back then, he had valued Qin Ming's talent and wanted to give him a helping hand. Thus, after forming the Imperial Fighting Team early to prepare for the next Soul Master Tournament, he had transferred Qin Ming over.

But how was Qin Ming behaving now?

Xia Yuan had pointed out the flaws in his teaching theory before. Now, seeing Xia Yuan's outstanding combat performance, he still refused to acknowledge it and even avoided the subject.

Even Ye Lingling, who had not made a move, had shown merits worth noting. Could Dugu Yan and the others' battles really be poor?

Still, Meng Shenji was an old hand, so he did not flare up immediately.
