Could Gangzi Have Gained Some Sense?

The Skinny Cat thrust out its claws more than a dozen times, but each claw missed its mark, not even touching the hem of Ye Lin's clothes.

She hit harder and harder, her breathing becoming increasingly labored.

Staring at Ye Lin's unchanging face, he cursed, "You're not even using your Soul Skill?"

Ye Lin stood in front of her, his breathing steady, without even breaking a sweat.

"What a coincidence, I didn't even use my Martial Soul, so I didn't need to use it to fight you."

In the stands,

The Spider Woman spoke in a low voice,

"His Martial Soul is called Dark Gold Dreadclaw, but no claws have appeared on his hands at all."

"From beginning to end, he never even revealed his Martial Soul. He stood there and dodged all of the Skinny Cat's attacks with just one set of footwork."

"That person seems to be deliberately not using their Soul Skill."

The Kuang Xi's eyes widened, and its breathing became heavy.

"What? How is that possible?"

"Did he know all along that we would come to spy on him? Was he deliberately hiding his strength?"

"If that's really the case, the people behind them are terrifying."

"Our battle is in danger!"

On the Soul Arena Platform, the Skinny Cat was still panting heavily.

She stared at Ye Lin's calm face, and the fire in her heart burned brighter and brighter.

She gritted her teeth, refocused her attention, and watched Ye Lin's footsteps, waiting for an opening.

Ye Lin moved.

He quickened his pace slightly, shifting his body to the left as if trying to circle around to the Skinny Cat's side and rear.

The Skinny Cat's eyes lit up, seizing the brief moment of opportunity, its silver claws suddenly shot out and stabbed Ye Lin in the side.

The claws pierced the fabric, tearing a long gash, and the Skinny Cat grinned.

"Serves you right for being careless and not using your Soul Skill. I'll teach you a lesson."

She quickly sensed that something was wrong.

After the claws pierced the fabric, the skin they touched felt like it was separated by an invisible hard shell.

Ye Lin's clothes were torn, revealing the skin on her waist.

Her paw slid across it, leaving not even a white mark.

The Skinny Cat's eyes widened, its silver vertical pupils filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible!"

Ye Lin looked up and smiled at the Skinny Cat.

"You were the one who was careless."

The Skinny Cat's back fur stood on end instantly.

Ye Lin suddenly turned his body, the muscles on his waist tensing and relaxing.

He swung his right fist from his side and smashed it into the Skinny Cat's abdomen.

The Skinny Cat's pupils contracted sharply. The force of the punch sent him flying backward, his feet leaving the ground. He arced through the air before crashing heavily outside the Soul Arena Platform.

Her back hit the ground, and she slid half a meter away.

The referee stepped forward, glanced at the Skinny Cat's condition, and pointed in Ye Lin's direction.

"Skinny Cat is out!"

On the Soul Arena Platform, the battle between Xiao Wu and Fat Rat was also coming to an end.

The Fat Rat's stamina was clearly failing.

Xiao Wu circled around him like a rabbit that never tires, her steps light and quick. She would seize any opportunity to kick, then retreat, and then advance again.

The Fat Rat was completely outmaneuvered by her, its fists flailing wildly in the air, but it couldn't even touch the hem of Xiao Wu's clothes.

Xiao Wu has finally arrived.

After Fat Rat missed with his heavy punch, he staggered forward half a step due to inertia, shifting his weight to his right foot.

Xiao Wu seized the opportunity and used her first Soul Skill, Waist Bow.

The power of the whole body is released from the point of force exertion in the Waist Bow.

Fat Rat felt a force coming from his waist, which lifted him into the air, spun halfway above his head, and then flew out of the Soul Arena Platform.

His round body drew an arc in the air.

It slammed heavily onto the cushioning pad below the stage, bouncing twice before coming to a stop.

The referee raised his hand and announced, "Fat Rat is out! Martial Forest Combination wins!"

Sparse applause rang out on the Soul Arena Platform.

Ye Lin and Xiao Wu stood in the center of the stage, bowed to the audience, and then walked side by side toward the exit.

In the stands, Kuang Xi and Spider Woman stood in the shadows, remaining silent for a long time.

"The Resounding Name' never used Soul Skill from beginning to end, nor did it even reveal its Martial Soul. The Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit' only used one Soul Skill to throw the Fat Rat off the stage. The two of them, one below the other, fought cleanly and decisively."

"They're quite strong; the team match later will be tough."

Meanwhile, in the rest room of the Suotuo Great Soul Arena,

The results of the other three 2-on-2 matches have also been released, and the teams were all lucky enough to win.

After all four matches were finished, everyone gathered together again in the lounge.

The team prepared for the final team competition.

Flender took two steps toward Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang, I still don't understand. Even though you're hiding your strength, once today is over, their strength will still be exposed during Heaven Dou."

"Hiding our strength is actually pointless."

Yu Xiaogang sat on a chair in the corner, his hands crossed and resting on his knees.

Hearing Flender's words, he slightly raised his eyes.

"That's certainly different. Today is the only day that matters."

Flender paused for a moment,

Yu Xiaogang continued, "They're newcomers, and newcomers have higher odds. I borrowed some money from the Spirit Hall today and placed a large bet on them."

"Therefore, we can only win this match, we cannot afford to lose."

There was a moment of silence in the lounge.

Flender stared at Yu Xiaogang for two seconds, then his small eyes suddenly lit up.

He opened his mouth, his voice rising an octave higher than before.

"Xiaogang, you really lived up to my expectations!"

Tang San stood in the corner,

His fingers slowly clenched into a fist inside his sleeve.

Borrowing money from the Spirit Hall?

When did Gangzi get involved with the Spirit Hall?

He had never heard of this in his previous life.

Besides, wasn't Gangzi desperate to stay far away from the Spirit Hall because of Bibi Dong?

Furthermore, the Spirit Hall, because of Gangzi's ridiculous theories, was unwilling to pay any attention to Gangzi.

What's going on?

What happened to Gangzi in this life?

It's like he's suddenly become intelligent.

Dai Mubai patted his trouser leg. "I'm going to the restroom."

He turned and pushed open the door, but instead of heading towards the restroom, he turned a corner and walked east along the corridor outside the lounge until he stopped in front of the door with the Mad Battle Team sign at the end.

The door was ajar, and voices could be heard coming from inside; a gruff voice was giving instructions to someone.

Dai Mubai leaned against the wall and waited for a while before the door was pushed open from the inside.

A burly man stepped forward, with broad shoulders and a thick back; it was Kuang Xi.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he looked up and saw a blond, tall man standing across the corridor. He was wearing a mask, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, staring straight at him.

"You are the Kuang Xi?"

Kuang Xi was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Dai Mubai did not answer.

His lips twitched slightly, and he swung his right fist from his side.

That punch landed squarely on Kuang Xi's right cheek.

The Kuang Xi's head suddenly veered to the left, and it took a step back, bumping into the door frame.

His cheeks were visibly swollen, and a cut was visible at the corner of his mouth, from which blood was seeping.

"How dare you take advantage of my fiancée!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

Kuang Xi covered his face, his eyes wide with confusion.

He roared out in a rough voice.

"I don't know you at all! Who the hell are you? You want to die?!"
