Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena.

Over the past two months, the Imperial Fighting Team had won battle after battle, stringing together 23 consecutive victories and rising from a Bronze-level Team to a Silver-level Team.

Their 23-win streak had led many people to follow the trend and place bets, causing the Great Soul Arena to suffer heavy losses.

Left with no choice, the arena resorted to some measures and assembled an equally Silver-level team of Soul Elders. It had two high-level Soul Ancestors and five high-level Soul Elders.

Their goal was to defeat the Imperial Fighting Team.

To that end, the arena had even specially promoted the match.

"In the next match, the Imperial Fighting Team will face the Golden Sheep Team."

Hearing the announcer outside, the Imperial Fighting Team members in the lounge remained perfectly calm.

"With Brother Feng here, we'll definitely win this time."

Yu Feng said confidently.

Just then, Qin Ming walked in. Hearing Yu Feng's words, a trace of worry flashed across his face.

"Our opponents this time cannot be underestimated. The Golden Sheep Team is extremely strong. They have two Soul Ancestors, while the other five members are all Soul Elders. I heard that their Martial Soul, the Golden Sacred Sheep, comes from the Cai Family, one of the seven great families behind the Great Soul Arena."

"This Golden Sacred Sheep Martial Soul possesses tremendous defense and offensive power. It is an exceptionally top-tier beast Martial Soul."

"Probably because our consecutive victories have caused the Great Soul Arena considerable losses, they brought out this Golden Sheep Team in hopes of defeating us."

"Their captain is a level 48 Soul Ancestor. His Martial Soul is a mutated Golden Sacred Sheep, but I couldn't find out exactly how it mutated. You must all be careful."

As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, the sound of the match beginning came from outside.

Dugu Feng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them.

"Don't worry, Teacher Qin Ming. Over these two months, I haven't made no progress. My strength has now risen to level 45. Even if his Soul Power is a few levels higher than mine, he may not necessarily be my match."

Dugu Feng's Toad Style had now reached perfection, balancing hardness and softness. Even without using Soul Skills, the Toad Style propelled by Soul Power was enough for him to confront a Soul King head-on.

If he also mobilized the poison in his dantian to complement the Toad Style, even a Soul Emperor would have to leave in bitter defeat.

That was his greatest confidence.

Dugu Feng led the high-spirited Imperial Fighting Team members into the arena. On the other side—

A group of Golden Sheep Team members wearing masks had been waiting for a long time. Every one of them wore a ram-headed mask.

Their auras were restrained, as steady as hills.

For some reason, when Dugu Feng looked at their captain, he faintly sensed danger.

"I am the captain of the Golden Sheep Team. My name is Cai Yang, a level 48 assault-type Soul Ancestor."

"My name is Dugu Feng, a level 45 control-type Soul Ancestor."

After introducing themselves, both sides returned to their respective areas.

At the referee's command, the match officially began.

"Number Five, move!"

Cai Yang shouted!

The next second, a golden stone wall slowly rose from the ground.

"Fourth Soul Skill. Mountain-Overwhelming Ward!"

The rising golden stone walls forcibly separated every member of the Imperial Fighting Team.

"I see. You want to defeat us one by one."

Dugu Feng glanced at the stone walls rising around him, his gaze as vicious as a venomous snake as it locked onto Cai Yang before him.

Cai Yang had already used Martial Soul Possession. A pair of upright ram horns extended from his forehead.

A metallic gleam appeared in his eyes.

Scarlet fur grew around his neck.

"My Martial Soul is a mutated Golden Sacred Sheep, the ancient exotic beast Conglong."

"Conglong? Never heard of it. But as an ancient exotic beast, its Martial Soul probably isn't weak."

"Fourth Soul Skill. Wind-Controlled Heavenly Net!"

A hurricane rose around Cai Yang, gradually gathering into an enormous sphere of wind.

Under Cai Yang's control, the wind sphere formed by the hurricane smashed directly toward Dugu Feng.

"Holy shit, Rasengan!"

Dugu Feng's first reaction upon seeing the wind sphere was the Rasengan from Naruto.

"Second Soul Skill. Spiritual Snake Hidden Force!"

A spark of fighting spirit rose in Dugu Feng. He decided to use his full strength in this battle.

As the thousand-year soul ring slowly rose, Dugu Feng's Soul Power, flowing through his meridians, gradually gathered at his fingertips.

Dugu Feng's chest suddenly swelled like a toad's.

He spread his arms. The instant the wind sphere struck, he pressed his index finger against it, and the Spiritual Snake Hidden Force drilled directly into the sphere.

The Spiritual Snake Hidden Force began contending against the wind within the sphere.

The Soul Power in Dugu Feng's chest erupted along with the hidden force.

The hidden force, balancing hardness and softness, advanced inch by inch, gradually forcing the wind out of the sphere.

The hurricane swept across the entire arena, and Dugu Feng took the opportunity to blend his poison into the wind.

As the wind within the sphere was dismantled inch by inch by the Spiritual Snake Hidden Force, it eventually dissipated completely.

A wicked smile appeared on Dugu Feng's lips.

"Thanks for the Wind-Controlled Heavenly Net."

Cai Yang looked at the poisonous mist spreading throughout the arena.

The composure on his face had been replaced by shock. He had never expected his Wind-Controlled Heavenly Net not only to fail to harm his opponent in the slightest, but to be neutralized and used to spread poison throughout the entire arena.

"No wonder you reached level 45 at such a young age. You are indeed a true genius. But if you do this, your teammates will also be poisoned by you."

"It doesn't matter. The poison I released comes from my First Soul Skill, Toxic Toad Devouring Breath."

"This poison won't kill anyone, but it numbs the meridians. The more Soul Power you circulate, the faster the numbness spreads. As long as I am still standing at the end, this victory belongs to our Imperial Fighting Team."

"You truly are a madman."

"Unfortunately, defeating me is still nothing but a foolish dream!"

"First Soul Skill! Gale Dash!"

Cai Yang's figure instantly became an afterimage. In just the time of a breath, he had rushed before Dugu Feng, intending to defeat him in a single move.

Soul Power formed from the gathered gale spiraled around his fingertips.

It made his fingers seem like sharp blades. At such speed, even the wind stirred by his fingers could turn into invisible blades.

This Gale Dash used the wind driven by speed to form invisible wind blades for attack.

Dugu Feng used Spiritual Snake Hidden Force once again, striking out with a palm that contained endless yielding power.

It collided with Cai Yang's fingertips, and the invisible yielding force directly dissolved the fierce wind blades.

The instant palm and fingertips collided, the Spiritual Snake Hidden Force shot directly into Cai Yang's arm.

Feeling the piercing pain from his arm, a trace of savage pain appeared on the face beneath the mask.

Seizing the opening, Dugu Feng struck with the back of his palm, blasting Cai Yang in the chest.

The back of his palm was fierce and powerful. A single strike sent Cai Yang flying.

It directly shattered the stone walls that had been used for separation.

With Cai Yang defeated, the Golden Sheep Team members, whose bodies had long since been invaded by the poison of Toxic Toad Devouring Breath, could only concede.

"Once the Soul Power in your bodies is exhausted, the poison in you will naturally be dispelled."

Dugu Feng slowly said to the poisoned Golden Sheep Team members.

Then he looked back at his teammates. Aside from his own sister, Dugu Yan, everyone bore injuries to varying degrees.

Ye Lingling had suffered the worst. After they were separated, the opponents had attacked Ye Lingling first, leaving her no choice but to withdraw from the match.

It could be said that without Dugu Feng's intervention, the Imperial Fighting Team's original strength would have been utterly crushed.
