Battle Song

Li Xun's smile deepened as he withdrew his hand from the piano keys and handed the pre-written sheet music to Qian Renxue, his eyes gentle yet earnest.

"Xiao Xue, you've come at the perfect time."

"This song is something I wrote especially for you, just for you, and only you can sing it."

"Take a look at the sheet music. We happen to have some free time, so let's try playing it together."

Qian Renxue reached out and took the thin sheet music. Her fingertips traced the neat lyrics and melody, a warmth spreading through her heart. Yet, she still feigned a reproach, lightly pursing her red lips with a hint of complaint:

"You always spoil me from being lazy. My Spirit Hall still has a ton of official business to finish, and a mountain of documents to check."

Although she complained, the joy and tenderness in her eyes were unmistakable, showing no sign of rejection whatsoever.

She gently unfolded the sheet music, looked at the tender and delicate lyrics and melody, and softly conceded:

"Since you wrote it especially for me, I'll take some time to try it out and sing it with you."

"This name sounds pretty good, it's called ' Battle Song '."

Looking at her adorable, contradictory expression, Li Xun's eyes gleamed with amusement. He nodded gently and softly replied:

"Okay, take a look first, then I'll play the piano and you can sing."

At this point, the live chat exploded with excitement.

Wow, finally a new song!

[Yeah, yeah, we've been waiting for years, finally a new song!]

[New song, add one.]

[Why a new song now? I'm so conflicted.]

[What's wrong with the person upstairs? It's just listening to music, why are you making such a fuss?]

[At the current All-Continent Elite Tournament, the future Angel God Qian Renxue and the Asura God Li Xun are going to have a one-on-one duel. Whoever wins will be the champion, so I'm torn between listening to the music or watching the match.]

[Wow, bro, are you sure you're not just showing off?]

[Are you showing off?]

Wow, I'm so envious! I'm watching the game while listening to music. I'm so jealous!

[Holy crap! Yeah, why didn't I think of that? I could listen to music while watching!]

Don't you guys think it's a little weird?

What's so strange?

[In the Heavenly Screen, the two are singing together in the future. In reality, they are having a one-on-one competition...]

[It's okay, it's not strange at all. I just love watching this kind of thing.]

[I love it, add one!]

[Add one!]

[Add one!]

On the final stage.

Qian Renxue and Li Xun also saw in the Heavenly Screen that they would sing a Battle Song together in the future.

Li Xun asked with a wry smile, "Xiao Xue, shall we continue?"

But Qian Renxue remained completely unmoved.

The gentle scenery under the Heavenly Screen and the sweet daily life in the future could not shake her determination to win in the slightest.

Upon hearing this, she immediately furrowed her brows, let out a soft snort, a clear, cold snort carrying the pride and stubbornness of a young girl, that echoed throughout the arena:

"Snort!"

"Fight! Why won't you fight?"

Qian Renxue stood tall, her Angel Wings slightly unfurled behind her, the golden holy light intensifying, and her clear golden eyes burning with fighting spirit, showing no sign of backing down.

Gentleness is for the future; victory is for the present!

Today, she is determined to fight A Xun squarely and prove that she is in no way inferior!

Before Li Xun could say anything more, Qian Renxue looked firmly at the stunned referee on the sidelines, her voice clear and decisive:

"Referee, don't hesitate any longer, get ready to begin!"

The referee at the edge of the field snapped out of his daze and looked at the two completely different scenes on the stage— the Heavenly Screen was tender and affectionate, while reality was sharp and confrontational. He was filled with mixed feelings, but dared not delay for even a moment.

He took a deep breath, straightened his body, and Soul Power deep Hong Liang voice carried through the entire Shrek Great Soul Arena, silencing all the murmurs of discussion.

"With the highest ruling of the competition and the permission of His Holiness the Spirit Hall Pope, the finals of this Continental Elite High-Level Soul Master Academy Competition have been restructured!"

"Team battles are cancelled. The final champion will be decided by a one-on-one duel between the two teams' core players— Li Xun and Qian Renxue!"

"Both players, take your positions and prepare for battle!"

"The ultimate showdown is about to begin!"

The moment the words were spoken, the protective light barrier around the arena was reinforced, and a dazzling light shot into the sky.

The cheers and shouts from the audience exploded, sweeping across the heavens and earth!

High above, the gentle karaoke scene on the Heavenly Screen is about to be shown. The extreme contrast between softness and strength, stillness and battle, completely ignites the audience across the continent!

On the dueling platform, Li Xun shook his head and smiled wryly, forced to abandon his leisurely demeanor and slowly concentrate on preparing for battle.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue's body was filled with holy light, Angel God power was rising steadily, indicating that she was already prepared to start the war!

Qian Renxue carefully read through the lyrics written by Li Xun, a gentle warmth spreading across her clear eyes. She looked up at the young man playing the zither and waiting quietly in front of her, and gently nodded to Li Xun.

The next moment!

The gentle and melodious accompaniment, yet subtly imbued with a powerful fighting spirit, poured from Li Xun's fingertips, flowing with the evening breeze and resounding throughout the Heavenly Screen.

A gentle yet powerful melody slowly unfolded, piercing through the illusory Heavenly Screen and faintly lingering above the entire stadium.

Qian Renxue parted her red lips slightly, and her clear, sweet, and penetrating voice slowly rang out, gentle yet carrying an indomitable tenacity, each word touching the heart:

"I once lost my way, hoping for a glimmer of light."

"The wind brushes against my face, a sorrow woven from love and hate."

"Unspeakable feelings, the dawn in the dark night."

The melodious Battle Song echoed slowly, its gentle vocals intertwining with the passionate melody, filling the Heavenly Screen above.

But the moment the song rang out, the scene on the real final competition stage changed drastically!

Before the gentle melody had faded, a sudden burst of golden light erupted across the arena, the dazzling, holy light instantly engulfing the entire ring!

Standing in the center of the arena, Qian Renxue's body exploded with light, her purest Angel God Power surging and churning, her snow-white battle armor fluttering in the wind.

Buzz--!

A clear and melodious sword cry resounded through the sky. An Angel Sacred Sword, engraved with intricate and sacred patterns and flowing with dazzling golden light, landed steadily in Qian Renxue's slender hand. The holy light particles floating on the sword swayed and danced, exuding a sacred and majestic aura that shocked the entire audience!

Immediately following, six distinctly colored Soul Ring rose, swirled, and rose and fell beneath her feet!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!

He unleashed his full Six-Ring Soul Emperor cultivation without reservation!

The ancient and profound Pressure of the Soul Master, along with the sacred aura of the top-tier Angel Bloodline, swept outwards in layers, causing tens of thousands of spectators below the stage to hold their breath in an instant.

In the Heavenly Screen, she softly sang of tender memories. In reality, she stood with her sword, her fighting spirit soaring to the heavens, her sharp edge blazing!

Upon seeing this, Li Xun on the other side no longer concealed his abilities. His expression lost all gentleness, and his eyes suddenly turned stern.

He raised his hand and clenched it tightly, a chilling aura of killing intent suddenly erupting from his body!

Clang--!

A sharp, piercing sword cry tore through the sky as he firmly grasped the Immortal Execution Sword Sacred Sword in his palm, its cold light chilling and its killing intent overwhelming!

The other three Immortal Execution Sword Divine Sword hovered in the air behind him, the four swords echoing each other, their sword energy intertwining to form a vast killing sword domain, the dark and sharp sword light and Qian Renxue's holy golden light forming an extreme clash!

At the same moment, five Soul Ring lit up one after another from beneath Li Xun's feet, rotating and rising, unleashing their full power!

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black!

The Soul Five-Ring Soul King Soul Power and Asura killing intent that Entanglement his body, Sisi strand terrifying and awe-inspiring.

A sixth-ringed Angel Soul Emperor, radiating boundless holy light, with unparalleled divine beauty.

A five-ringed Soul King of Slaughter, whose sword dominates the heavens, his killing intent soaring to the sky.

The gentle Battle Song drifted across the Heavenly Screen, while the clash of titans on the field was about to erupt.

One gentle, one strong; one song, one battle; the contrast between ancient and modern times—it shakes the entire Douluo Continent!
