Chen Xin watched the situation on the Competition Stage, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes as he praised, "Such rich combat experience. Decisive strikes, without the slightest hesitation!"
He had seen the situation just now with perfect clarity. Though it looked as if Osler had charged into it himself, Jun Xuehan had actually been the first to judge his trajectory. Before Osler could react, he had used a technique to launch him upward, sending him flying off the Competition Stage from midair.
Moreover, the Competition Stage had been hastily constructed, so it was not particularly large. While it was sufficient for fighting, that was all. Compared to defeating an opponent outright, knocking them off the Competition Stage was clearly easier and consumed less Soul Power.
Ning Fengzhi opened his eyes and asked, "Uncle Sword, what did you just say?"
He had been resting with his eyes closed and had not watched the situation on the Competition Stage at all, so he had no idea what had just happened.
"Fengzhi, you misjudged him. Although this little fellow may have relied on a trick, he truly did win—and won cleanly and decisively," Chen Xin said calmly.
Ning Fengzhi looked toward the Competition Stage with interest. This match might actually be rather entertaining.
Meanwhile, Prince Xue Xing's expression had turned extremely unpleasant. However, Xue Ye simply waved a hand indifferently and said, "It does not matter if he wins one out of five matches."
Yu Tianheng looked at the defeated Osler, then turned his gaze toward the brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo. Just as he was about to speak, a female voice sounded beside him. "Tian Heng, let me go. I'm a Control System Battle Soul Master. I have a great advantage against this little brother."
Yu Tianheng looked at the girl beside him. After a brief moment of thought, he lightly nodded. "Yanzi, be careful. Try not to drag things out with him. If you can end the fight quickly, end it as soon as possible."
Dugu Yan smiled and indicated her agreement before walking straight onto the Competition Stage. Looking at Jun Xuehan, she said, "Dugu Yan, Martial Soul: Jade Phosphorous Serpent, level twenty-four Control System Battle Soul Master. Please advise me."
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, a thoughtful look appeared in Jun Xuehan's eyes. Before coming here, he had guessed that he might very well encounter Dugu Yan, so he had made some special preparations. After all, there were only a few well-known geniuses at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. There was never anything wrong with preparing in advance.
Jun Xuehan spun the silver spear in his hand and took the initiative, attacking Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan was not particularly surprised. When Osler had announced his Martial Soul earlier, Jun Xuehan had not revealed his own, so she had already expected him to attack without announcing it.
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul rose behind Dugu Yan. After her Martial Soul Possession, two yellow soul rings flashed beneath her feet. Her first soul ring then suddenly lit up, instantly increasing Dugu Yan's speed and attack power by twenty percent.
"First Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Red Poison!"
Jun Xuehan looked at Dugu Yan before him. Wind Element and Water Element appeared on his Silver Dragon Spear as he unleashed Dragon Spear Wind and Rain. With every thrust, the Silver Dragon Spear's power grew stronger than before, and its speed grew faster. While evading the attacks, Dugu Yan raised her leg and swept it toward Jun Xuehan. Jun Xuehan leaned backward, and Dugu Yan's leg brushed past a strand of his hair.
Over the course of Three Months, Jun Xuehan had participated in ninety Spirit Arena Matches. His combat experience and techniques were no longer what they had once been. Coupled with his Photographic Memory, his combat experience had already far surpassed that of his peers.
Jun Xuehan slightly raised his head. The silver spear he had been preparing to thrust abruptly paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and continued toward Dugu Yan.
White... Doesn't she pay attention to what she is wearing when she fights? Jun Xuehan muttered inwardly, but the silver spear in his hand only moved faster and faster, without pausing in the slightest.
Hearing the voice in his heart, Xue Qinghe, seated in the audience, could not help feeling speechless. This is a match. Can't you focus? What kind of nonsense is he thinking about? What does he mean, white? What clothing?
The old man standing beside Prince Xue Xing watched the situation on the Competition Stage and nodded slightly. "For this brat to hold his own against Yanyan to this extent, he can be considered a genius. But the outcome has already been decided. Yanyan cannot lose. There is no suspense in this match."
Xue Qinghe glanced toward the speaker and assumed the appearance of someone humbly seeking guidance. "Senior Poison Douluo, why do you say that? From what I can see, that child seems to be holding the upper hand. Why do you say he will lose?"
Dugu Bo chuckled. "Holding the upper hand does not mean one cannot lose. Yanyan is my granddaughter, so naturally I understand her personality extremely well. Furthermore, as a Control System Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent does not focus on offense, but on control."
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul itself carried snake venom. Although Dugu Yan was currently at a slight disadvantage, Dugu Bo was certain that once she used Jade Phosphor Snake Venom, this match would be over.
Xue Qinghe smiled and said nothing more, merely watching the match quietly.
"Uncle Sword, this brat is rather interesting. What he is using seems to be a Self-Created Soul Skill," Ning Fengzhi said with interest as he watched the match.
"Mm. It is a Self-Created Soul Skill, though it is not particularly refined yet. There are still some flaws," Chen Xin said with a light nod, his voice calm.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, in Chen Xin's arms, had kept her gaze fixed on Jun Xuehan's face from beginning to end, utterly unconcerned with the course of the match.
On the Competition Stage, Dugu Yan watched the silver spear continuously stabbing toward her, and her body could not help retreating. The Silver Dragon Spear was moving too quickly, leaving her somewhat unable to cope.
"Jade Phosphor Snake Venom!"
As Dugu Yan retreated, she released the Jade Phosphor Snake Venom. A layer of green Poison Mist gradually spread across the Competition Stage.
Seeing this, Jun Xuehan coated his Silver Dragon Spear with Fire Element, and the soul ring beneath his feet flashed as well. He took a water pouch and a packet of powder from his Soul Tool, throwing them toward the incoming Poison Mist.
"First Soul Skill: Blazing Fire Striding Cloud!"
In midair, the Silver Dragon Spear struck the water pouch and the powdered substance in rapid succession. The water pouch burst, transforming into falling flames. When the flames touched the powder, they burned even more fiercely.
When the Poison Mist met the flames, it too began to burn, producing a series of popping sounds before vanishing from the Competition Stage in an instant.
Dugu Yan stared blankly at Jun Xuehan, her eyes filled with disbelief and incredulity.
