"Let me handle this!"
Yan clenched his fists and stepped onto the arena.
Looking at Dai Chengqian, Yan gave him a contemptuous smile.
"I admit, having two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings is impressive,
but even Soul Rings can't bridge the gap in Soul Power.
Remember the name of the man who's about to defeat you.
I'm Yan. My martial soul is the flame lord, and I'm a rank fifty-two Power Attack System Battle Soul King."
Dai Chengqian gave Yan an odd look and couldn't help asking:
"Your martial soul is fire-attributed?"
"That's right. To be precise, my flame lord martial soul has both fire and earth attributes. It's an ancient martial soul.
Well? Scared?
If you're scared, surrender."
Dai Chengqian beckoned to him with a finger and smiled.
"Cut the nonsense and hurry up. I'm still waiting to fight the next one."
"Arrogant fool!
Third Soul Skill, Hellfire!"
Raging flames rolled toward Dai Chengqian.
Dai Chengqian was immune to fire and had nothing to fear. He activated his White Tiger Protection Barrier and charged straight into them.
"Impossible!
You're not afraid of my flames!"
Yan's expression changed drastically when he saw Dai Chengqian face his Soul Skill head-on.
Just then, Hu Liena's voice rang out from below the stage.
"He's immune to fire attacks! Use your earth-attributed Soul Skills!"
Hearing Hu Liena, Yan decisively unleashed his fifth Soul Skill, Flying Sand Frenzy.
A fierce, scorching sandstorm instantly swept across the arena toward Dai Chengqian.
Facing this attack, Dai Chengqian activated the Flowing Cloud Bone Wings on his back.
His white bone wings spread, and he soared into the air.
"Right leg bone-Outrage Break!"
His right leg bone blazed with dazzling light as Dai Chengqian kicked out a series of slashing strikes at the scorching sandstorm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the attacks collided, tremendous energy exploded, sending yellow sand flying across the arena.
For a moment, the spectators below couldn't make out either fighter onstage.
"What happened? Who won?"
"There's no more movement. I bet Dai Chengqian won. That Soul Bone Skill of his looked absolutely savage."
"Bullshit! Yan used his fifth Soul Skill. How could he lose that easily?"
The flying sand gradually settled.
When the spectators saw what had actually happened in the arena, they sucked in a breath.
A blue-purple arrow had pierced Yan's chest, pinning him to the ground.
In the air, Dai Chengqian slowly flapped his bone wings and spoke:
"Next!"
Defeating Yan had been simple. While using his Soul Bone Skill, Dai Chengqian had also activated his fourth Soul Skill, Thunder God's Arrow.
Once his Soul Bone Skill had exhausted the energy of his opponent's fifth Soul Skill, Dai Chengqian fired his fifth Soul Skill, subduing him with a single strike.
Although Yan had noticed and used a defensive Soul Skill to block it, Dai Chengqian's Thunder God's Arrow was, after all, a Soul Skill granted by a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring. Its single-target power was astonishing.
Even with his advantage in Soul Power, Yan couldn't withstand it at all. The arrow had broken through his defenses with ease.
Ning Rongrong's voice reached Dai Chengqian's ear through the Voice-Transmitting Conch.
Ning Rongrong: "Wow, your fourth Soul Skill is actually such a powerful single-target skill! That's amazing!"
Dai Chengqian: "Hey, can you give me a warning before you speak? If I were actually fighting, you suddenly talking could throw me off."
Ning Rongrong: "Oh, come on, I waited until you finished fighting before speaking! Relax, relax. I know what I'm doing."
Yan returned to the Spirit Hall Team with his head lowered and spoke quietly:
"Nana, I lost. This round was my fault."
Hu Liena looked at Yan and comforted him:
"Dai Chengqian probably has fire immunity. It's understandable that you lost to him.
I'll go next. I refuse to believe his mental strength is greater than mine!"
Hu Liena stepped onto the arena and gave Dai Chengqian a sweet smile.
"You're so powerful, Sixth Prince. Couldn't you go easy on little old me?"
Every movement Hu Liena made radiated seductive charm.
Unmoved by her seduction, Dai Chengqian smiled calmly.
"Of course. Leave Spirit Hall and join my Star Luo Empire right now, and I'll hold back a little."
"Hehehe..." Hu Liena laughed seductively, then said:
"You certainly know how to joke, Sixth Prince. If you won't go easy on me, then fine. Here I come."
As she spoke, Hu Liena activated Martial Soul Possession, and five Soul Rings rose around her.
Hu Liena's black hair turned fiery red, and a fluffy white tail sprouted behind her. She beckoned to Dai Chengqian, quietly activating her first Soul Skill.
"Charm!"
Dai Chengqian's gaze clouded for only an instant. In the next moment, his mind jolted alert, and he snapped out of it, his figure turning into a streak of lightning as he charged toward Hu Liena.
After being tempered time and again, Dai Chengqian's mental strength had long since become formidable.
Moreover, Dai Chengqian had vaguely discovered that his charm system seemed capable of resisting seductive abilities like Hu Liena's.
"Damn it! It didn't work."
"Second Soul Skill, Fox Charm!"
Against Dai Chengqian, her mental charm attack had no effect whatsoever.
In the few seconds she spent using her Soul Skills, Dai Chengqian had already reached her.
"Demon Fox Illusions!"
Just as Dai Chengqian was about to touch Hu Liena, her figure suddenly turned insubstantial, then split into multiple illusory demon fox images.
Dai Chengqian used Thousand-Flash Thunder Shadow, bursting into top speed as he attacked them one after another.
He crushed the demon fox illusions one by one until only the last remained.
"You're the one!"
Just as Dai Chengqian was about to close in and seize Hu Liena,
Hu Liena smiled at him.
"You'll never catch all my Demon Fox Illusions."
As soon as she finished speaking, more illusory demon fox doubles appeared throughout the arena.
Dai Chengqian looked at those illusory doubles, the corners of his mouth lifting.
"I can't catch them all?
I certainly can't catch them all one at a time. But what if I catch them together?"
"What do you mean?"
Hu Liena had barely finished speaking when she suddenly saw specks of lightning flare across the arena floor.
Looking closely, she could see tiny arcs of electricity covering the arena floor, though she had no idea when they had appeared.
These were the Lightning Seeds Dai Chengqian had planted while chasing Hu Liena's illusory doubles.
The Lightning Seeds exploded, forming a dense electrical net that tightly enclosed every illusory double above it.
The electrical net contracted, wrapping Hu Liena into a narrow bundle and dropping her onto the arena.
She tried to use a Soul Skill to break free of Dai Chengqian's electrical net, but it kept releasing numbing shocks that interrupted her again and again, leaving her unable to use her Soul Power.
Dai Chengqian stepped forward, grabbed Hu Liena's arm, and lifted her like a fish. Looking into her alluring eyes, he smiled.
"You never expected to lose to me like this, did you?
I admit you're charming and captivating, but if you thought you could use that ability against me, you were dreaming."
"Damn you! Let me go! Let's have another fair fight."
"Tch. Who wants to fight you?"
He kicked Hu Liena hard in the backside, sending her flying off the arena to tumble to the ground before the Spirit Hall Team.
Looking at them, Dai Chengqian said calmly, "Last one."
"Nana! Are you all right?"
The Spirit Hall team members helped Hu Liena up.
Hu Liena glanced at Dai Chengqian on the stage, a complicated expression appearing in her eyes.
"Why didn't my charm work on him...
Could it be... he doesn't like women?"
Her gaze fell on Dai Chengqian's six female teammates, and confusion filled her eyes.
Shaking her head, Hu Liena looked at Xie Yue and said:
"I lost. The rest is up to you."
Xie Yue held his two red blood blades across his chest and ran his tongue along the blade before him, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"This farce should end. Let me bring this battle to a close."
