Team Invitation: Snake Emperor Sword Sovereign Team

Qi Dao had just returned to the Soul Master spectator area when Dugu Yan immediately came over, looking him up and down as though she were examining some rare species.

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

Dugu Yan said seriously, "I want to see whether you're really human."

Qi Dao did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I only defeated a Soul Master with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Is that really so outrageous?"

Dugu Yan snapped, "You know perfectly well that the person you defeated had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul!"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is known as the continent's number one beast Martial Soul. How could that reputation be undeserved?"

"When Soul Masters of the same level fight, it has always been Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul users who fight above their level. Only a monster like you could turn it around and defeat a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul user across levels."

Qi Dao smiled, then said, "Come to think of it, Yu Tianheng should be in the same class as you, Senior, right?"

"He's seriously injured now. Aren't you going to check on him?"

Dugu Yan looked at Qi Dao in surprise.

"You know Tianheng too?"

Qi Dao spread his hands. "You and Senior Yu Tianheng are both prominent figures at the academy. It would be hard for me not to know you."

"So that's how it is!" Dugu Yan revealed an enlightened expression, then could not help saying, "And here you are talking about us. If word of you defeating Yu Tianheng gets back to the academy, your fame will instantly surpass both mine and his."

After speaking, Dugu Yan looked toward the arena again. Yu Tianheng had already left.

She shook her head. "All right, it'll be my match soon. I need to head to the preparation area."

"As for Tianheng, getting injured in a Soul Battle is perfectly normal. I'm not a healing-type Soul Master, so what would I go over there for?"

After hearing that, Qi Dao roughly figured out the relationship between the two.

They were friends, but nothing more. Otherwise, even with a match coming up, Dugu Yan would not have been unable to spare even a little time to visit Yu Tianheng.

Before long.

Dugu Yan's match began.

She was fairly lucky. Her opponent was a level twenty-three Soul Grandmaster. With the advantage in level, she ultimately defeated her opponent with ease.

Although her first and second soul skills were both supportive, enhancement-type poisons.

The Soul Power within her body already contained poison, so she could still release poison to attack her target.

Against beast Martial Soul Soul Masters of a similar level, this kind of poison might not be very effective.

But against ordinary Soul Masters of lower levels with little poison resistance, it was truly ideal for crushing weaker opponents.

Having easily defeated her opponent, Dugu Yan was clearly in a good mood. When she returned to the Soul Master spectator area, she smiled at Qi Dao. "How do you think I did just now?"

Qi Dao smiled. "I've heard that Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison is peerless beneath heaven. Seeing it today, its reputation is indeed well deserved."

In truth, the terrifying aspect of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul was not its toxicity, but its ability to release poison over a wide area.

By comparison, the poisons of Pufferfish Douluo and Bibi Dong's Martial Souls were only more terrifying than those of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent and Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

Pufferfish Douluo could even absorb Dugu Bo's poison and convert it into his own attack power, specifically countering Dugu Bo.

"You do know a thing or two."

When Dugu Yan heard Qi Dao praise the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and a proud look appeared on her face.

Qi Dao smiled. "Senior, didn't you say earlier that the Great Soul Arena also has two-versus-two matches?"

"Have you ever participated in one?"

Dugu Yan was slightly stunned. "I'm alone. What would I do entering a two-versus-two match?"

Qi Dao narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Since you haven't participated in two-versus-two matches before, how about we form a team? I can carry you up the rankings. The kind that guarantees victory!"

"Oh? You're that confident?" Dugu Yan looked Qi Dao over again, her expression surprised.

She had not expected Qi Dao to suddenly invite her.

Before this, she had never planned to participate in two-versus-two matches.

However, hearing Qi Dao say that victory was guaranteed piqued her interest.

It was not that she truly wanted to enter two-versus-two matches. Rather, after seeing the strength Qi Dao had displayed today, she could not help wanting to know just how powerful his full strength was.

After all, his match with Yu Tianheng had been a complete suppression from beginning to end.

That was clearly not his full strength.

People were always curious about the unknown.

Qi Dao saw that Dugu Yan was tempted and continued, "Senior, what do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Dugu Yan smiled sweetly.

"Sure, I agree!"

"After all, I have no reason not to join a match that's guaranteed to win."

Qi Dao smiled at her words.

"Senior, do you want to give it a try today?"

"Let's do it!"

The two hit it off immediately and promptly signed up for a two-versus-two match.

"What will your team be called?" the registration clerk asked.

Dugu Yan looked at Qi Dao. "Handsome boy, since you suggested it, you can decide the team name."

Qi Dao stroked his chin, then looked at the registration clerk. "Call it the Snake Emperor Sword Sovereign Team."

Dugu Yan's lips twitched slightly.

What an embarrassingly melodramatic name!

The registration clerk asked again, "Esteemed Battle Soul Master, are you sure you wish to use Snake Emperor Sword Sovereign as your team name?"

Qi Dao replied firmly, "I'm sure!"

Then he turned to Dugu Yan and said, "You're the Snake Emperor, and I'm the Sword Sovereign. It fits perfectly!"

"Heh, you were the one who proposed it. As long as you're happy with it."

Soon, the two welcomed their first match.

Their opponents were also a man and a woman, and their levels were not low. One was a level twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster, while the other was a level twenty-six Soul Grandmaster.

Moreover, both were assault-type Soul Grandmasters.

The moment they stepped onto the arena, Qi Dao and Dugu Yan had already assigned their respective opponents.

Qi Dao naturally faced the level twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster, while Dugu Yan faced the other level twenty-six Soul Grandmaster.

As the match began, Qi Dao charged ahead.

Only then did Dugu Yan personally experience a glimpse of Qi Dao's strength.

His speed alone even surpassed that of agility-attack Soul Masters at the same level.

As for his strength.

From the corner of her eye, Dugu Yan saw Qi Dao casually send his opponent flying more than ten meters with a single sword strike.

Two sword strikes were enough to render him unable to fight. Even his teammate was startled by Qi Dao, allowing Dugu Yan to seize the chance and heavily injure her opponent with a single blow.

Seeing that Qi Dao had also freed up his hands, their opponent immediately chose to surrender.

Qi Dao and Dugu Yan easily won their first two-versus-two Soul Battle.

In the Soul Master passageway leading away from the arena, Dugu Yan could not help saying, "Handsome boy, you're really a freak!"

Qi Dao smiled. "Without some real skill, how could I dare guarantee victory?"

"It was a pleasure working together this time. I'll contact you again when there's another opportunity, Senior."

Dugu Yan said lazily, "Sure. Since you let me coast to victory, I can make a few more days each month to come to the Great Soul Arena."

In the past, she came to the Great Soul Arena at most three times a month, and that was only to complete the mandatory task for Heavenly Ultimate Grade students.

Qi Dao's lips curved upward.

No matter what, he had achieved his goal for today.
