The horn sounded for the second match, and the atmosphere in the Arena abruptly changed.
If the mecha battle had been a collision of technology and strength, this Soul Spirit Battle would be a contest of souls and bloodlines.
Gu Yue slowly walked into the center of the field, her purple hair stirring without a breeze.
Opposite her, a middle-aged man in black robes trimmed with gold slowly stepped forward.
He was handsome, his hair impeccably combed. With his hands clasped behind his back, his expression was cold and arrogant.
He was Zhang Geyang, the level-98 Super Douluo titled "Netherflame" who headed the Spirit Pagoda's Star Luo Empire branch.
"Second match of the Five God Showdown: Soul Spirit Battle!"
"The rules are as follows: both Soul Masters may only release their own soul spirits to fight. They may strengthen their soul spirits, but may not directly participate in attacking or defending."
"The match ends when all of one side's soul spirits have been defeated."
The commentator had barely finished speaking when Zhang Geyang snorted coldly and made the first move.
"Gu Yue, since you dare covet my Spirit Pagoda's supreme treasure, let me show you what a true soul spirit Grandmaster is!"
With a low shout from Zhang Geyang, the soul rings on his body suddenly lit up.
"First soul spirit, Netherflame Beast!"
"Second soul spirit, Azure Jade Phoenix!"
"Third soul spirit, Emerald Demon Bird!"
"Fourth soul spirit..."
Zhang Geyang's eyes grew fervent. He abruptly raised his right hand, and a mass of purple lightning burst from his palm.
"Thunderclap Infernal Prison Vine, appear!"
Boom!
Amid deafening thunder, a dark-purple plant with silver lightning patterns flowing across its surface slowly grew from Zhang Geyang's palm.
It stood only half a meter tall and looked like a length of withered vine.
