One-on-one
first.
"Please welcome the Martial Soul Team!!"
With resounding and orderly footsteps, imbued with the holy Angel Soul Power of angels, Qian Renxue, dressed in a snow-white team uniform, stepped out first.
She possessed an unparalleled figure and extraordinary temperament; her silver hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were clear yet exuded an air of unparalleled confidence.
Behind them, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan and other Martial Soul geniuses followed closely behind. All of them had refined auras and full Soul Power, and each of them was already at the top level of the current generation of young people.
The entire Martial Soul Team exuded an awe-inspiring, sacred, and domineering aura, resembling Angel Legion conquering the world.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and thunderous applause filled the air!
Immediately afterwards, golden light exploded from the other side of the passage, and the killing aura of Asura burst forth!
"Please welcome the Heaven Dou Team!!"
The young man stood tall and walked with composure, taking the lead in stepping out of the light and shadow.
Li Xun, dressed in a neat team uniform, had a calm demeanor, yet he possessed an unparalleled aura that suppressed the entire arena. Without even revealing his Soul Power, he calmed the atmosphere of everyone present.
Following closely behind, Tang San, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Shui Bing'er all lined up and came out.
Everyone was full of energy and spirit, their eyes sharp as blades, their fighting spirit burning fiercely.
Having endured countless tough battles and crushed all rivals to reach this point, today is the ultimate showdown!
The two strongest teams stood at opposite ends of the arena, facing off from afar.
On one side, Angel lead the way, representing the orthodox temple!
On one side is the Asura, the dark horse of this era!
Everyone held their breath, watching the final with anticipation.
"The final of the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy is about to begin. Team members, please enter the arena," the referee announced loudly from the stage.
The participants from both sides took turns stepping into the air to enter the arena.
The final arena lit up, and a pale golden barrier of holy light enveloped the entire stage, isolating the surging crowd below.
Just as the referee was about to raise his hand to announce the start of the match, Qian Renxue, in the center of the arena, suddenly parted her lips slightly, and her clear and firm voice pierced through all the noise, resounding throughout the entire arena:
"Referee, I have a request."
As soon as the words were spoken, the noisy arena suddenly fell silent. Everyone was stunned, and their eyes were all focused on the holy and beautiful Angel God.
Qian Renxue ignored the astonishment of the crowd, her gaze fixed firmly on Li Xun opposite her, each word spoken with resounding force:
"This battle does not require team competition. I am willing to forfeit the Spirit Hall team's qualification to participate, and I earnestly request that the competition rules be changed so that I, Qian Renxue, can fight Li Xun alone!"
"Let's settle this with a one-on-one duel!"
"The ultimate champion of today's Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament will be determined by the outcome of this battle!"
These few simple words resonated like thunderclaps on the field!
Boom--!!
In an instant, the entire audience erupted in uproar!
The audience erupted in cheers and exclamations, a wave of excitement sweeping across the land.
No one expected that in the highly anticipated finals, Qian Renxue, the pride of the Spirit Hall, would abandon the team battle and publicly challenge Li Xun, the legend of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, to a one-on-one showdown!
On the east side of the arena, upon hearing these words, Li Xun's shoulders slumped slightly, and a bitter smile of utter helplessness, all too familiar, slowly appeared on his face.
He understands it all too well.
He understood all too well the stubbornness and obstinacy in Qian Renxue's eyes at that moment.
This was hardly a spur-of-the-moment challenge; it was clearly something this proud and exceptionally talented future goddess had been holding back all along.
She has always been proud, standing at the pinnacle of the continent since birth, the most dazzling darling of heaven. But since the descent of the Heavenly Screen, although her brilliance remains dazzling, she has always been overshadowed by him.
She wanted to challenge him to a duel in public, to defeat him fair and square.
Not for fame or fortune, not for honor, but simply to prove that Qian Renxue is no weaker than Li Xun!
Even if it's just for this moment, she wants to beat A Xun, whom she likes, and prove that she is the strongest.
Looking at the girl opposite him, her eyes filled with defiance and stubbornness as she stared at him, Li Xun felt utterly helpless, yet he couldn't muster even the slightest resistance.
This is his future wife, proud yet pure, stubborn yet passionate.
In the center of the arena, Qian Renxue stood upright, her figure bathed in holy light, pure and imposing. Her golden eyes were fixed on Li Xun, filled with the stubbornness, unwillingness, and competitive spirit unique to young people. It was clear that this battle was inevitable.
The referee on the sidelines froze on the spot, his face filled with deep embarrassment.
The finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament are the most solemn and rigorous competition on the continent. The team finals were changed to individual duels at the last minute. This is something that has never happened in the history of the competition. It is not something that a mere referee like him can decide.
He immediately turned his head, looking at the highest VIP platform in the arena with a respectful yet apprehensive expression.
On the high platform, Bibi Dong, clad in black robes and possessing a cold and stunningly beautiful aura, sat quietly, her faint Soul Power swirling around her, her Pressure overwhelming the entire audience.
All eyes in the room were now focused on the Spirit Hall Pope, awaiting her final decision.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bibi Dong's indifferent gaze slowly swept over the two figures facing off on the field. On one side was her rebellious daughter, Qian Renxue, who was exceptionally talented, proud, and obsessed with Li Xun. On the other side was Li Xun, the most bizarre and heaven-defying young man in the history of the continent, who was destined to hold the power of the Divine Realm in the future.
After a moment of silence, Bibi Dong parted her red lips slightly, nodded slightly, and her clear, cool voice, carrying an undeniable authority, slowly descended:
"Allow."
She wanted to see it for herself.
She wanted to see if Qian Renxue, with her Innate Level 20 Soul Power and the Angel Inheritance, could defeat this promising future Asura God was just beginning to show his talent and had unlimited potential, when she went all out!
Today, let these two unparalleled geniuses face off head-on at the pinnacle of the finals!
Three months have passed. After the Spirit Pagoda was officially established and the new Soul Spirit technology spread throughout the Douluo Continent, the world's clamor has subsided.
With the political situation on the mainland stabilizing, Li Xun and Qian Renxue's lives also returned to peace.
In the past, Li Xun either immersed himself in the laboratory to improve his Soul Spirit technology and research new technological products, leading a relaxed and peaceful life.
Outside the Li Family villa, Qian Renxue had just finished a full day of tedious Spirit Hall affairs and dealt with various forces. Her golden dress was spotless, but there was a slight hint of fatigue between her brows.
After entering the villa, Qian Renxue noticed faint piano music and headed towards the private karaoke room.
The door was gently pushed open, and soft, warm light poured out, while gentle, melodious piano music drifted in, instantly enveloping her.
Li Xun, dressed casually in black, sat lazily at the Piano, his fingertips lightly touching the keys. His eyes were gentle, and he had lost some of Asura domineering and fierce aura, gaining a touch of earthy tenderness.
Hearing the door open, he turned his head and looked back, his eyes instantly filled with a gentle smile.
Qian Renxue approached with light steps, a lively smile appearing on her pretty face. She spoke in a slightly teasing tone, her voice sweet and soft:
"Hey, A Xun, you still remember you're a Yue Family?"
She tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on the black and white piano keys and the boy's slender fingertips, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Is there a new piece of music? Would you like me to play it?"
