Holy Rabbit Duo

"Hmph!" Qian Renxue turned her head away angrily, unwilling to pay Li Fei any attention.

"This is for you. I hope it'll cheer you up!"

Feeling slightly helpless, Li Fei remembered the cakes in his Storage Bracelet. He took one out and placed it on the table in front of her, then silently stepped aside and began training with his eight-hundred-jin Tungsten Steel Rod.

"What is this?!"

Qian Renxue turned back and looked at the box on the table with some confusion. When she opened it and saw the cake inside, a smile appeared on her face.

"So sweet! So delicious!"

She picked up the fork from the box and put a small piece of cake into her mouth. Her eyes immediately narrowed in bliss.

Qian Renxue looks like a child now, Li Fei thought inwardly.

"Li Fei, bring me a cake every day from now on!"

"..."

"Your Highness, it's not too late to go back now," Li Fei reminded her when he saw Qian Renxue looking up at the Soul Arena's entrance, a trace of fear flashing through her eyes.

After three days of sparring with Li Fei, Qian Renxue had gained a certain amount of combat experience, so she had suggested starting Soul Arena matches. Yet now, she was hesitating again.

"Since I'm already here, I won't back down!" Qian Renxue said stubbornly. She took an angel-patterned mask from her Storage Ring and put it over her face before striding into the Soul Arena.

Li Fei shook his head helplessly and followed Qian Renxue inside, arriving before a staff member.

"You two, are you really going to participate in Soul Arena matches?! Why don't you come back after obtaining your Spirit Rings?"

The staff member stared at Qian Renxue in shock and tried to persuade them. In his eyes, the two of them were simply asking to be beaten up. Qian Renxue had only reached level twenty Soul Power, while Li Fei was merely level sixteen. The opponents in Soul Arena battles were all Second Ring Soul Grand Masters. If that was not asking for a beating, what was?

"No need. Just register us!" Qian Renxue waved her hand with feigned confidence, though her trembling legs revealed how unsettled she was.

"Fine! Take your tokens!" Seeing that persuasion was useless, the staff member picked up the stamp on the table and stamped the forms, then handed the two of them iron badges.

Looking at the words "Holy Rabbit" on the badges, Li Fei could not help marveling at the staff's efficiency. He brought Qian Renxue to the waiting area to await their first match.

"Next, let us welcome the Holy Rabbit Duo and the Mighty Duo for the fifth match of Arena Seven! Will our newcomer Holy Rabbit Duo prove stronger, or will the Mighty Duo, who have already won three consecutive matches, prevail?! Let us wait and see!"

"Mighty strength creates miracles!"

"..."

As the host finished speaking, quite a few spectators began cheering loudly, showing that the Mighty Duo held no small status among the audience.

Carrying his Tungsten Steel Rod over his shoulder, Li Fei led Qian Renxue onto the stage. Then he immediately heard her shouting excitedly.

"Li Fei, look! Those two across from us are bigger than you!"

"Stop shouting. This is an arena; people will know you're a rookie!" Li Fei said helplessly. He turned to look at the two men who had come up and nodded in agreement. "Still, they really are huge!"

"See?" Qian Renxue nodded smugly.

The two men looked alike and were likely brothers. Judging by their faces, they were around sixteen or seventeen years old. Their bodies stood at an astonishing two meters and thirty centimeters tall, and the veins winding across their granite-like muscles like azure dragons writhed continuously as they moved, radiating immense strength.

The two brothers frowned when they saw Li Fei and Qian Renxue. Li Fei was fine—he was a full meter forty tall and quite sturdy, so they could accept that. But Qian Renxue was only six years old and not even a meter twenty tall. Her fair, tender skin made it obvious that she was a child.

"You two brats should just surrender! This isn't a place for playing house!" the elder brother advised in a deep, booming voice. As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Qian Renxue. He truly did not want to fight a child. Judging from her voice earlier, this little girl could not be more than eight years old. One punch might make her cry for a long time.

Qian Renxue's delicate brows drew tightly together, and her expression turned incomparably ugly. In an icy voice, she said, "You big idiot, if I can stand here, that means we're strong enough. Understand?!"

At the same time, a ball of golden light appeared in her hand and transformed into a longsword, which she pointed at the two brothers from afar.

"Little brother, look..." Seeing Qian Renxue's firm attitude, the elder brother turned his gaze to Li Fei. Before he could finish speaking, however, a flash of golden light had already reached him.

The elder brother was startled. Instinctively, he bent backward in an iron bridge to dodge the attack, then spun around and threw a punch toward Qian Renxue's back, accompanied by a fierce tearing sound through the air.

Suddenly, a Tungsten Steel Rod appeared before his fist and blocked his attack.

"Sorry, but if you want to hurt her, you'll have to ask me first!"

Following the rod with his eyes, the elder brother saw that Li Fei had somehow moved in front of Qian Renxue. Through the mask's eyeholes, he could see the unyielding determination in Li Fei's gaze.

"Second Brother, be careful! This guy isn't simple!"

The elder brother retreated to his younger brother's side and stared gravely at Li Fei. As a strength-type soul master, he knew perfectly well how much power that punch had contained. Since it had been instinctive, he had unconsciously used his full strength. Ordinary Soul Grand Masters would not dare receive it head-on, yet when his fist struck the rod, it had not even trembled. Clearly, their opponent's strength surpassed theirs.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the staff member had said that this boy was the one with only level sixteen Soul Power, not the one who had reached level twenty!

"I know, Big Brother! As expected of someone who dared to challenge the Soul Arena above his level—he really isn't simple!" The younger brother wore an equally grave expression. He had seen the exchange just now and naturally understood how troublesome Li Fei was.

"Mighty Ape Possession!"

The brothers did not dare be careless and simultaneously chose Martial Soul Possession. Their already burly bodies became even larger, especially their arms. Their muscles swelled by two full sizes, and their granite-like flesh now looked as though it had been cast from bronze, terrifying to behold.

Four yellow Spirit Rings circled around them, showing that both were Soul Grand Masters with optimal Spirit Ring configurations. For a moment, the spectators in the stands erupted into cheers.

The two men threw their heads back and roared at the same time, causing ripples to appear in the air.

"It's the Mighty Ape Martial Soul, with steel tendons and iron bones. Be careful!" Li Fei turned and gave Qian Renxue a warning before staring gravely at the two brothers.

Before reaching the Soul Ancestor realm, no soul master wanted to encounter the Mighty Ape Martial Soul. This Martial Soul possessed not only immense strength but also astonishing defense, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

However, this was exactly what Li Fei wanted. Moreover, the two were brothers, and their coordination far surpassed that of ordinary duos. They would definitely put him under considerable pressure, allowing him to rapidly improve his combat experience and instincts through their fight.
