On Arena One.
Ning Rongrong stood pressed against the edge of the arena, her toes already hanging over the side, ready to jump down at any moment.
Come on, she was only a three-ring support.
The two Soul Ancestors opposite her were packed with muscles.
Their biceps were bigger than her head.
Di Guga could handle them. She would run when it was time to run.
She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted.
"Di Guga, I'm leaving it to you!"
"Guga!"
Di Guga took two steps forward on his short little legs and looked up at the two men.
One of the hulking men opposite him held out his fingers in a gesture.
"This little runt is supposed to fight the two of us? Come on, come on. Uncle will let you hit me three times first."
Holding the Divine Light Stick, Di Guga struck a pose and raised it high.
"Di Guga!!"
A dazzling white light illuminated the entire Great Soul Arena.
"Damn it!! My eyes!!"
"What a terrifying move! It can hurt me from a hundred meters away!"
The entire audience cried out in pain at once.
Everyone instinctively raised their hands to cover their eyes. Some tilted their heads back to avoid the glare, while others lowered their heads and squinted.
The originally noisy, bustling stands instantly descended into chaos.
Ning Rongrong, who stood at the edge of the arena, had long been prepared. She reached up and adjusted the thick sunglasses perched on her nose.
The two standing closest to the blinding divine light suffered the most. Their eyes were instantly blinded by the intense glare, leaving them with nothing but a vast expanse of white before them.
It took them quite a while to recover.
When they looked over again, all they saw were two furry, incredibly thick pillars and a pair of goose-like feet.
The floor cracked beneath them with every step.
The two muscular Soul Ancestors slowly raised their heads in stunned disbelief. The tiny fellow from before now had his head pressed against the ceiling as he looked down at them.
Di Guga bent his right arm at his waist, extended his left hand in front of him, and shouted:
"Cha!"
An impassioned, sacred melody suddenly echoed through the entire Great Soul Arena out of nowhere!
"Dang dang dang dang dang~ dang dang~"
The entire venue froze in silence.
"Huh? Where did that music come from?"
"This is too strange. What kind of Martial Soul is that?"
However, in the audience.
Lin Xiao suddenly felt a third of his Soul Power get drained away.
Before he could recover, his body tilted, and he leaned against Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder.
Zhu Zhuqing's entire body stiffened, but she had no time to be shy. She instinctively wrapped an arm around his shoulders and asked worriedly:
"Lin Xiao, are you alright?"
"Let me... catch my breath... Soul Power..."
Lin Xiao had not expected Di Guga to immediately use his current maximum form against two Soul Ancestors.
They had tested it before. Di Guga was strongest when enlarged to the maximum, but he could only maintain it for three minutes at most.
During those three minutes, Lin Xiao's Soul Power at peak condition would be drained at a constant rate.
He was basically Di Guga's timer.
Every minute, a third of his maximum Soul Power would be directly drained as transformation energy.
Once Lin Xiao recovered, he stood up and took out a bottle of Soul-Replenishing Pills from his Soul Tool.
He pulled out the stopper and poured them straight into his mouth.
Only after feeling the Soul Power within his body recover did he let out a sigh of relief.
Zhu Zhuqing looked curiously at the porcelain bottle labeled "Soul-Replenishing."
Noticing her gaze, Lin Xiao explained:
"These are pills that can quickly replenish Soul Power. They're also one of the sect's essential supplies."
As he spoke, he took out another bottle and stuffed it into Zhu Zhuqing's arms.
"Don't refuse. I have plenty of these. If you find them useful, look for Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shops. They sell them there."
Zhu Zhuqing swallowed the words that had reached her lips.
She lowered her head and glanced at the porcelain bottle in her arms. A trace of warmth passed across her cool face.
"Thank you."
These were pills that could save her life at a critical moment. They were simply too precious.
She owed more and more now. She could only repay him someday in the future.
Dai Mubai stood some distance away from them, fists clenched and teeth grinding audibly.
But what could he do?
Walk over, throw the pills back, and say Zhuqing did not care for them?
That would be utterly brainless.
Not only would it fail to change Zhuqing's opinion of him, it would make her disgusted with him.
But if he did not go over, he could only watch as Zhuqing's impression of Lin Xiao grew better and better.
It hurt... it hurt so much...
Back on the arena.
The muscular Soul Ancestor swallowed.
"Brother, are we still fighting?"
"We fight. What if she's only putting on a bluff?"
As soon as the words fell, rock giants appeared behind the two men.
Their fourth Spirit Rings lit up.
"Fourth Soul Skill! Earth-Splitting Strike!!" ×2
One on the left and one on the right, their arms wrapped in solid rock, they smashed their fists heavily toward Di Guga's toes.
"Ultraga New Barrier!"
Di Guga made a rectangular frame with both hands before him, and a green barrier completely blocked the front.
"Clang!!"
Their fists struck the barrier. The rock shattered, but the barrier remained completely intact.
Di Guga flicked both hands and threw the barrier away, canceling the windup with the follow-through as golden lightning wrapped around his fist.
"Di Guga Lightning Fist!"
Rumble!!
A massive fist carrying thunder crashed down!
The two Soul Ancestors went pale.
"We surren—"
"BOOM!!"
"Crackle—"
"Ah—! We'll be back—!!"
The two figures flew out one after another like kites with snapped strings, trailing black smoke as they smashed through the windows of the Great Soul Arena.
The referee stood stunned for several seconds before raising his microphone high.
"Arena One! The winners! Ning Rongrong and Di Guga!"
The stands erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Guga~"
The light around Di Guga faded, and he turned into a tiny ball of light that fell back onto the arena, returning to his original size.
Ning Rongrong held Di Guga up high in her arms.
"Di Guga, you were amazing!"
Di Guga waved his little arms and proudly lifted his head.
After they returned to the audience seats.
Di Guga suddenly broke free from Ning Rongrong's arms, flapped his tiny body, and dove headfirst into Lin Xiao's embrace, rubbing his little head incessantly against Lin Xiao's chest.
"Boss! Was I cool, Guga!"
Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks, feeling a little wronged.
After the match on the arena, she had been worried that the little guy had used too much energy and might be hungry. She had carried him the whole way, constantly feeding him snacks.
Yet the moment he saw his boss, he immediately forgot all about her.
Ning Rongrong gave a soft huff from the side and poked the back of Di Guga's head.
"Hmph, you ungrateful little goose."
Lin Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"You really were cool."
He flicked Di Guga's round little head.
"But be careful next time. Don't use enlargement in low-level matches. The Soul Power consumption is ridiculous. It's a complete waste."
"Got it, Boss!"
Just then, Xiao Wu and Yan Shuang Guga walked over as well.
However, Xiao Wu did not seem to be in a very good mood.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao asked:
"Why are you hanging your head? Did you lose?"
Xiao Wu sighed and pouted.
"We won, but I thought it was boring. It was all Yan Shuang Guga's personal show.
No matter what Soul Skill the opponents threw at her, Yan Shuang Guga could easily dodge it with a single roll.
The opponents refused to believe it and kept attacking her with all their strength.
The most outrageous part was that sometimes, their attacks had clearly struck her head-on.
Yan Shuang Guga would casually say, 'You didn't hit me at all,' and the attack would fail as if it had never worked!
The opponents' minds became more and more muddled, while their target became clearer and clearer. They completely left me off to the side.
I just quietly watched the two of them chase Yan Shuang Guga, while she rolled around invincibly in front of them.
It was like they were playing around. In the end, the opponents got so angry that they surrendered."
"..."
That was sinister. She actually pissed them off into surrendering.
