Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Time turned to the following morning.

Huo Yuhao's team was facing a squad of three Grand Soul Masters. After the strength Huo Yuhao had displayed yesterday, everyone had high hopes for his group. It was practically like having someone with the strength of a Soul Elder on the team.

Especially after his victory over Xu Sanshi, no one dared doubt him. Some even wondered whether the other Twin Star, Bei Bei, would fight him.

The three opponents were all exhausted. They consisted of two girls and one boy, with the boy serving as the main attacker. His Martial Soul was the Mighty Vajra Fist, and he was struggling to deal with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's combined assault.

Seeing Huang Chutian fall into a difficult position, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo exchanged a glance and embraced each other. Their hair began growing rapidly at a visible rate. The next instant, even denser locks than those from their first soul skill swept outward in every direction.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Heavenly Net!"

It instantly wrapped around Wang Dong. He tried to launch a Winged Guillotine attack, but the speed of his attack could not compare to the hair's growth. Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao was held back by Huang Chutian.

"First Soul Skill: Mighty Vajra Fist!" His heavy punch slammed fiercely into Xiao Xiao's Three-Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron, yet it caused only a faint ripple. As expected of a huge cauldron—its defense was incredibly powerful!

"Damn it!" Huang Chutian rubbed his numb right hand. With no other choice, he circulated Soul Power through his body. As for Huo Yuhao, he silently supported them from the rear.

Just then, Huo Yuhao suddenly noticed a massive amount of hair flying toward him from the side. Having trapped Wang Dong, the sisters now intended to envelop Huo Yuhao as well.

The overwhelming blue hair surged like ocean waves toward Huo Yuhao's slender figure below. Yet he did not even spare it a glance, merely glaring in the direction of the Lan sisters!

"Bold, but this ends here!" Fine strands of spiritual power flew toward Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo. In an instant, it felt as though their heads had been crushed, and they let out piercing screams!

The next moment, the hair filling the sky dissipated. The Lan sisters had already fainted and collapsed where they stood. Huang Chutian stared in shock, and Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity, sending him flying with three huge cauldrons.

"Easy!" Xiao Xiao gave a light snort and brushed back her hair, displaying the bearing of a big sister.

As Huo Yuhao's group walked off after defeating their opponents, everyone silently made way for them. After all, none of them had found a good way to deal with the Lan sisters' Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

When Huo Yuhao's group reached a patch of grass, Zhu Lu's group happened to arrive as well. Tomorrow's match would be between their two teams. The match arrangement truly was strange—they would be fighting each other in the semifinals!

"So, how are your preparations going?" Zhu Lu approached Huo Yuhao with a curious expression, the fighting spirit in her eyes practically overflowing.

"Don't worry. Just focus on preparing." Huo Yuhao smiled and looked at Zhu Lu with complete confidence.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's confidence, Zhu Lu nodded. Then she spoke mysteriously, "Don't fall behind. While you were away, I didn't slack off either. Shall we have a battle without regrets?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. He also wanted to see how far Zhu Lu's Chain Blades had progressed and how much her strength had grown!

"Alright! You two, honestly, you started thinking about each other the moment you met." Wang Dong looked at them with a sour expression. Zhu Lu gave a sly smile and leaned close to whisper something in Wang Dong's ear.

Wang Dong's face instantly turned crimson. She unconsciously recalled something, and wisps of steam seemed to rise from her head. Seeing Wang Dong like this, Zhu Lu immediately understood. She was the same as Zhu Lu! Whenever they were spiritually linked with Huo Yuhao, they could not help sneaking a look at him!

The other four were somewhat baffled by the secretive behavior of the two girls, but they continued chatting among themselves.

"Yuhao! I hope we can both give it our all. No matter which of us reaches the finals, we'll still be friends!" Ning Tian spoke softly. Huo Yuhao nodded. He approved of this girl, who bore the heavy responsibility of her sect despite being so young.

"Mm! Don't worry! If you run into any trouble, you can come to us. We'll do everything we can to help!" After replying, the two shook hands, hoping to have a spectacular battle.

Wu Feng and Xiao Xiao began talking as well. During their conversation, Xiao Xiao learned who Wu Feng liked and was instantly stunned. A girl liking another girl—was that even possible?

Xiao Xiao could not help thinking about it. At the same time, she curiously looked toward Huo Yuhao, who was chatting with Ning Tian, and her face unconsciously reddened. Huo Yuhao had also taught Xiao Xiao combat techniques and how to use the Soul-Calming Cauldron.

For a moment, Xiao Xiao found herself captivated by Huo Yuhao's figure. The sight of him standing in the arena with his sword, fighting two opponents alone, had left a deep impression on her.

Still, she understood the relationship between Zhu Lu and Huo Yuhao, and she unconsciously buried her little feelings again.

The next day arrived. Everyone at the arena held their breath, afraid of missing anything!

Looking at the six contestants, who were already prepared, the referee nodded, immediately raised his right hand, and announced the start of the match!

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! First: Strength! Second: Speed! Third: Soul!" Nine streams of light flew out and enveloped the three girls. Their auras immediately soared. Wu Feng's strength became comparable to that of a Soul Elder, while Zhu Lu erupted with the aura of a high-level Soul Elder!

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's expressions turned solemn at this sight. The support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was truly terrifying. Even Huo Yuhao, standing at the very back, looked astonished. It seemed that he could not hide his strength in this battle!

Once the support was complete, Wu Feng and Zhu Lu charged forward. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao immediately met them head-on. Xiao Xiao swung the Three-Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron fiercely at Wu Feng, who immediately activated Martial Soul Possession. Her Fire Dragon Martial Soul erupted, and her first Soul Ring lit up.

"First Soul Skill! Dragon's Fury!" Crimson flames gathered around Wu Feng's body, further boosting her strength. She rushed toward the Three-Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron before her and threw a punch.

Clang!

The sound was like a massive bell being struck, reverberating throughout the arena. The Three-Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron was knocked back, and Wu Feng herself was forced back several steps. Xiao Xiao took advantage of the moment to split the Soul-Calming Cauldron into three huge cauldrons, which entangled Wu Feng in battle.

Wang Dong fought Zhu Lu. One possessed the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, the other the Netherworld Spirit Cat—a battle between light and darkness.

"First Soul Skill, Winged Guillotine!" Four blades of light shot out and slashed fiercely toward Zhu Lu. Facing the incoming attack, Zhu Lu remained relaxed as sharp claws condensed over her hands.

"First Soul Skill, Netherworld Thrust!" She shot forward like a drill, directly neutralizing Wang Dong's four guillotine blades. She still looked relaxed, clearly retaining some strength.

"Damn it! I won't lose!" Wang Dong refused to accept this and dived toward Zhu Lu. With Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Link supporting her, she was actually able to fight Zhu Lu, whose strength had already been raised to that of a high-level Soul Elder.

Fists and kicks collided, creating bursts of air-splitting sounds. Zhu Lu's one yellow and two purple Soul Rings shone, displaying her absolute strength. Claws and wings clashed, turning the sky into the battlefield of the two girls.

Watching their battle, Huo Yuhao did not know why, but he felt a chill run down his back. It seemed that once this match ended, he would be finished!

Unlike Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng's blood began to boil as she watched Zhu Lu fight. She directly activated her second Soul Ring. Blazing flames surged outward and spread over the field, but Xiao Xiao immediately lined up the three Soul-Calming Cauldrons and easily blocked them.

The battle between the four of them made the spectators outside the arena boil with excitement. This was what everyone loved to see—blows landing solidly, skills colliding with skills. As the two sides remained deadlocked, everyone began calculating who would win!
