The Rookie Ning Rongrong

A sharp light flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes as a deep tiger roar burst from within him!

"Roar!"

The White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him. Dai Mubai's body suddenly swelled, white fur covering his entire body, while the "King" character on his forehead looked fierce and majestic.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple—four Soul Rings rose beneath his feet. The fourth Soul Ring in particular was an exceptionally deep purple.

Ning Rongrong gave a soft cry, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda appeared in her palm, its precious light flowing as two yellow Soul Rings gently pulsed.

Across from them, Sun Lie and Sun Yan shouted at the same time. The Black Iron Heavy Shield and Earth-Splitting Battle Axe appeared in their right hands respectively. They too had four Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—and their presence was equally intimidating!

Sun Yan sneered disdainfully. "You dare step onto the two-man Soul Fighting stage with a support-type Soul Grandmaster who only has two Soul Rings? White Tiger brother, aren't you a little too arrogant?"

Dai Mubai rolled his neck, producing a string of crackling sounds, then declared domineeringly, "So what? I'll still beat you flat."

"Soul fight, begin!"

The host slashed his right hand downward, and the Soul Fighting match officially began!

At that same moment, Sun Yan shouted.

"First Soul Skill, Heavy Shield Charge!"

The Black Iron Heavy Shield in his hand expanded by a full circle. With its weight soaring, he became like an iron war chariot as he accelerated toward Dai Mubai!

Sun Lie followed close behind, gripping the Earth-Splitting Battle Axe with both hands and lowering his body, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

One brother attacked while the other defended. Having worked together for years, they were already perfectly in sync. Sun Yan's shield was responsible for charging and defense, while Sun Lie's axe delivered the killing blow!

"They're coming!" Ning Rongrong cried out. This was her first time truly facing such a situation, and she looked utterly flustered.

"Don't panic. Stay close behind me."

Dai Mubai's steady voice rang out. He completely shielded Ning Rongrong behind him as Soul Power erupted around his body!

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Body Barrier!"

A pale golden barrier emerged from his body, enveloping him completely. His strength and defense increased by fifty percent.

Dai Mubai gathered Soul Power into his right fist and met the charging heavy shield head-on.

"Third Soul Skill, Earthsplit Slash!"

The instant Dai Mubai clashed directly with Sun Yan, Sun Lie seized the opportunity. He leaped onto Sun Yan's shoulder, used it as a foothold to spring high into the air, and raised the Earth-Splitting Battle Axe above his head with both hands.

He was actually planning to leap over Dai Mubai and cleave straight down at Ning Rongrong behind him!

Dai Mubai showed no sign of panic.

"Clang!!"

Fist and shield collided with a deafening boom.

Sun Yan felt a tremendous force surge through the shield's surface. His arms went numb, and he was knocked back four or five steps before managing to stop, his eyes filled with shock!

Using the recoil from striking the Black Iron Heavy Shield, Dai Mubai shot backward to Ning Rongrong's side.

Ning Rongrong's face went pale as she watched the massive axe blade descend toward her. She was so frightened that she shut her eyes, not even knowing to dodge.

A complete rookie!

Dai Mubai wrapped an arm around Ning Rongrong's slender waist, pulling her away from where she stood and darting rapidly to the side.

"Boom!"

The Earth-Splitting Battle Axe slammed into the hard arena floor, carving out a crack as shattered stones sprayed in every direction!

Dai Mubai carried Ning Rongrong several meters away, set her down steadily, and protected her behind him. "Rongrong, activate your buffs first!"

Ning Rongrong snapped out of her shock. Looking at Dai Mubai's broad back, much of the fear in her heart immediately faded.

She took a deep breath and raised the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

"Seven Treasures Famous, first: strength! Second: speed!"

Two dazzling streams of light shot out and accurately entered Dai Mubai's body.

In an instant, Dai Mubai felt a warm current surge through him. Both his strength and speed increased by thirty percent!

"Good! Watch your footing!"

Dai Mubai could have sent Ning Rongrong off the stage right now, but she had come here to experience it for herself. Throwing her out so quickly would be far too boring.

On the other side, the Lieyan brothers failed in their first attack, but they did not grow angry. Instead, they immediately organized another offensive.

"Third Soul Skill, Black Iron Shield Wall!"

The Black Iron Heavy Shield in Sun Yan's hand expanded once more, transforming into an enormous shield wall three meters tall and five meters wide. It crushed toward Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, sealing off their room to evade!

"Fourth Soul Skill, Battle Axe Tornado!"

At the same time, Sun Lie gripped the axe handle with both hands and spun rapidly. The Earth-Splitting Battle Axe became a whirlwind, twisting in from the other side!

One shield blocked the path, while one axe shredded everything!

The two attacked from both sides. There was nowhere to run!

Cries of alarm rose from the audience, and quite a few spectators had already stood up.

Yet Dai Mubai remained calm.

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Darkgold Transformation!"

The third purple Soul Ring beneath Dai Mubai's feet suddenly lit up. His body swelled again, every strand of white fur standing on end and taking on a faint dark golden sheen. His attack, defense, and strength all surged wildly by another two hundred percent!

An incomparably violent aura exploded from within him!

"Break!"

Dai Mubai neither dodged nor retreated. Facing Sun Lie's Battle Axe Tornado, he actually chose to confront it head-on!

His tiger claw shot precisely into the spinning axe shadows and struck the side of the axe blade with perfect accuracy!

"Clang!"

With a loud crash, Sun Lie felt an irresistible force travel through the axe handle. The web between his thumb and forefinger instantly split open.

He and his axe were sent flying backward, tumbling through the air more than ten times before he barely managed to land.

Immediately afterward, Dai Mubai threw another punch at Sun Yan's Black Iron Shield Wall!

"Boom!"

The massive shield wall was actually dented inward by that punch. Sun Yan's feet slid backward, his arms trembled, and his eyes were filled with horror.

Just like that, the two sides exchanged several more rounds.

Dai Mubai gradually felt his Soul Power draining faster.

After all, he had to divide his attention to protect Ning Rongrong behind him. Restricted in every movement, he was actually dragged into a battle of attrition by the Lieyan brothers' tacit coordination.

Otherwise, Dai Mubai would have beaten them flat long ago!

Can't drag this out any longer... Dai Mubai thought.

His opponents fought steadily, coordinated seamlessly, and possessed extremely deep reserves of Soul Power. If this continued, the outcome would be hard to predict.

He had to completely eliminate one of them first!

In the next exchange, Dai Mubai spotted a tiny opening when Sun Yan shifted the angle of his shield wall. He once again wrapped an arm around Ning Rongrong's waist, leaped out of their encirclement, and landed on the other side of the Soul Fighting stage.

Held tightly in his arms, Ning Rongrong felt his strong, powerful arm around her. Her pretty face flushed red, and her heart stirred as she immersed herself in the feeling of being desperately protected by Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai had no time to flirt with her. After releasing Ning Rongrong, his second Soul Ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

A blazing platinum beam shot from the tiger's mouth toward Sun Yan!

Sun Yan did not dare let his guard down and hurriedly raised the Black Iron Heavy Shield to block it with all his strength.

And that momentary restraint was exactly what Dai Mubai wanted!

"Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Break!"

The fourth Soul Ring beneath Dai Mubai's feet lit up. All the Soul Power in his body compressed madly, gathering in his right fist.

The next moment, his body transformed into a straight streak of golden light, shooting forward in a direct line at terrifying speed, his target Sun Lie!

Sun Lie roared angrily and swung the Earth-Splitting Battle Axe with all his strength, intending to clash head-on with Dai Mubai!

But how could he possibly withstand a fourth Soul Skill from a nine-thousand-year Soul Ring?

"Boom!!!"

The instant fist and axe collided, the Earth-Splitting Battle Axe flew from Sun Lie's hand. The terrifying attack shattered his Soul Power defense and slammed into his chest.
