Three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—circled behind her.

Her Flame Shadow Spirit appeared at her back.

Dressed in red, she stood tall on the arena platform, her fair legs straight and her gaze blazing.

The spectators had only one thing to say: "Who does she think she is, putting on airs in front of the Golden Dragon Princess? The princess could outlive her standing on one leg."

"Golden Dragon Princess, slap her twice! Teach her a lesson!"

Cries rose from all around the platform: "Slap her!" "Spank her!" "Tear her mouth open!" "Pull her hair!" ...

The suggestions grew stranger and stranger, but the Golden Dragon Princess preferred the slapping idea!

"Instantaneous Movement!"

"Waist Bow!"

"Eight-Stage Fall!"

Huo Wu's attention slipped. Xiao Wu teleported in close, kicked her into the sky with Waist Bow, then showed her no mercy with Eight-Stage Fall.

Anyone who dared disrespect her Golden Dragon Lord deserved a thorough thrashing.

Even a Soul Master with formidable defenses might not have withstood that combination, let alone an unprepared Huo Wu.

"Aaah!"

Huo Wu shrieked in pain like a helpless chick. Luckily, her elder brother Huo Wushuang caught her. Otherwise, she would have suffered even more.

Seeing his sister beaten so badly, Huo Wushuang lost his composure.

"You dared hit my sister? You little rabbit, I'll break your ribs!"

Just as Huo Wushuang's fist was about to strike Xiao Wu,

the Golden Dragon Princess stamped the ground, leaving a small crater, and sent a golden fist hurtling toward him.

Boom!

A flash of white light streaked past. A teacher from Blazing Fire Academy had stepped in and forced the Golden Dragon Princess back two steps.

That was right—only two steps!

"Golden Dragon Princess, you went too far!"

The Blazing Fire Academy teacher's voice was stern, but his right hand trembled violently behind his back.

What kind of monstrous strength is that?! Even I can barely take it.

He groaned inwardly.

"Teacher, your student showed no manners at all! He openly attacked an honored guest of our Imperial City Soul Arena!"

The manager arrived with two Soul Sages at his side. Hiring them was expensive,

but the Golden Dragon Princess was worth it. He would gladly hire ten more Soul Sages for her.

The Blazing Fire Academy teacher frowned. He could not touch the Golden Dragon Princess; the Imperial City Soul Arena was clearly backing her.

"We're leaving. We won't fight the next match!"

The teacher snorted, trying to save what face he could before the Golden Dragon Princess's many fans.

"We're not leaving!"

"That's right! We're not leaving until we beat the Golden Dragon Princess!"

"Exactly! I, Huo Wu, won't let this go!"

Fury burned in the Blazing Fire Academy students' eyes, as if they wanted to burn the Golden Dragon Princess alive.

Xiao Wu glared right back and stuck her tongue out at them in mockery.

The Golden Dragon Princess smiled. After spending several years around Xiao Xiao, Xiao Wu had grown much more to his liking.

The Blazing Fire Academy teacher had only taken a few steps when he heard the students. Rather than feeling proud, he could only feel helpless.

Only after trading a punch with the Golden Dragon Princess had he realized how far beyond them she was. No wonder she never used Soul Skills. She had no need to.

He had hoped to use the incident to avoid the next match and spare Blazing Fire Academy the humiliation,

but... Children, it's not that your teacher is taking her side. You don't have even a ten percent chance!

"I've made up my mind. You—"

"Teacher, you haven't forgotten the contract Blazing Fire Academy signed with my Soul Arena, have you? You can leave, but you'll have to pay the five-million-Gold-Soul-Coin penalty."

A blow he had no answer for!

Five million Gold Soul Coins was no small sum. If Blazing Fire Academy paid it, the academy might shut down within a month or two.

The Blazing Fire Academy teacher gritted his teeth and loosened his clenched fist.

"Give us an hour to rest."

"Fine. But you were rude to an honored guest of our Soul Arena. You must compensate the Golden Dragon Princess for the distress you caused!"

In the stands: Nice one, Imperial City Soul Arena! You've earned our approval!

"How much?"

"Under the relevant rules, ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

The two Soul Sages behind the manager took two steps forward, adding weight to his demand.

How humiliating. Utterly humiliating!

After the compensation was paid, Huo Wu received treatment from her teacher.

Her body still burned with pain. She looked toward Xiao Wu and etched this grievance into her memory.

The spectators talked over one another. Word of Blazing Fire Academy's conduct would spread after today; their peaceful days were numbered.

Blazing Fire Academy had used the earlier match to test the Golden Dragon Princess's strength.

Its main purpose, though, had been to give Huo Wu and the others experience.

The Blazing Fire Academy teacher had frowned before, but after trading blows with her, his brow had relaxed.

The gap was simply too vast. It was like an ordinary university student sitting the same exam as a Tsinghua University student.

If you were thoroughly outclassed, you would not feel too disappointed.

"Huo Wu, Flame Shadow Spirit!"

"Huo Wushuang, Single-Horned Explosive Fire Dragon!"

Of Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and their teammates, only two remained Soul Grandmasters, and even they were close to becoming Soul Elders. It was practically an all-Soul-Elder team.

Seven against the Golden Dragon Princess alone. Blazing Fire Academy would win if they remained undefeated for the time it took a stick of incense to burn; the Golden Dragon Princess had to defeat all seven to win.

An ordinary Soul Ancestor might well lose under those conditions,

but everyone had seen the Golden Dragon Princess's strength. Blazing Fire Academy had truly picked the wrong opponent this time.

Did they think the Imperial City Soul Arena's Soul Masters were just there for show?

"Brother, buy me some time! I'll be quick this time!"

Huo Wushuang nodded. No matter what, he would hold the line today.

Both support members were Soul Elders. With their help, Huo Wu began preparing her Ring Fusion Skill at remarkable speed.

In the private box, Qian Renxue froze. "Ring Fusion! I never expected Blazing Fire Academy to have someone like her."

"Xiao Xiao, that attack might rival a Soul Ancestor going all out~"

"And you're not worried about Little Lu?"

Xiao Xiao gently blew on her tea and took a small sip.

"Have you ever seen Little Lu go all out?"

Qian Renxue fell silent. She had not.

"Third Soul Skill: Raging Tyrannosaur!"

"Third Soul Skill: Fire Leopard Clone!"

"Second Soul Skill: Fire Cloud!"

"Second Soul Skill: Fireball Technique!"

Attacks converged on the Golden Dragon Princess from every direction. He smiled faintly.

Self-Created Soul Skill: Golden Dragon Mysterious Circle Kill!

A Golden Tornado enveloped the Golden Dragon Princess, absorbing every attack they threw at him.

It expanded, sweeping Huo Wushuang and the others inside. They were powerless to resist.

"What is that now? A Soul Skill? No, it can't be!"

How could the Blazing Fire Academy teacher understand? Only a master of extraordinary wisdom could know.

"Huo Wu, the tornado's coming straight for us!"

The two support-type Soul Masters' voices shook, and the flow of Soul Power slowed.

Damn it! I was so close!

Huo Wu could not accept it. Her Ring Fusion Skill was immensely powerful. She was certain she could defeat the Golden Dragon Princess and shatter his legend.

Just as the tornado was about to reach her, it dissipated. The Golden Dragon Princess appeared, wearing a faint smile.

"It's fine. I'll wait for you!"

"Oh, and one more thing. My flames are stronger than your little sparks!"
