Don't touch me! It hurts!

"Someone from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy again?"

"Is he trying to get revenge on his classmate who lost?"

"The one just now didn't last long, can she do it?"

The audience member in the front row who had bet on Ma Hongjun had already stood up, clutching the Gold Soul Coin he had just received, and hurried towards the betting area.

"Bet on that chubby little Blue Tyrant again!"

"You're still betting? He just finished a fight, aren't you worried about running out of Soul Power?"

"He won so easily just now, how much Soul Power could he have used? I don't think he even broke a sweat!"

Many people got up and quickly placed a bet before the competition started.

Some people, seeing Dugu Yan's calm demeanor, decided to give it a try and bet their money on her.

The staff on the sidelines were busy for a while, and only after betting closed did the host signal both sides to prepare.

Ma Hongjun stood still, sizing up the girl opposite him.

It looks somewhat familiar.

However, he quickly put that thought out of his mind.

He had just won a game today and heard cheers from the crowd, so he felt full of energy.

It was just a different opponent; he really didn't take it to heart.

He glanced at the stands and could still hear people shouting the name of the Blue Tyrant Academy.

Those words have already been spoken; if we show weakness now, wouldn't we be contradicting ourselves?

Besides, the person opposite him didn't look much older than him.

"Release your Martial Soul!"

As the host's voice faded, a wave of heat rose from Ma Hongjun's body.

Crimson flames rose up, feathers appeared on his arms, and three Soul Ring— two yellow and one purple—lit up in succession.

At the same time, Dugu Yan also completed the Martial Soul Possession.

Fine, emerald-green scales covered the back of her hands, her pupils transformed into vertical pupils, and three Soul Ring slowly rotated beneath her feet.

Compared to two years ago, the fluctuations of her Soul Power were significantly stronger.

"Jade Phosphorous Serpent?!"

Ma Hongjun's smile faltered as he finally remembered who the person in front of him was.

Dugu Yan!

Two years ago, at the Soto Great Soul Arena, he still vividly remembered the incurable poison and the unbearable discomfort he felt after being poisoned.

At that time, he didn't even understand what kind of poison he had been poisoned with, and could only wait for someone else to cure him.

All the pride I had painstakingly built up was wiped out by that crushing defeat.

No wonder this woman suddenly jumped out!

Ma Hongjun subconsciously tensed up, then his gaze fell on the three Soul Ring at her feet, and he gradually calmed down.

Still Soul Elder.

What's there to be afraid of?

I haven't been idle these past two years!

After training so hard at the Blue Tyrant Academy and fighting so many Soul Fighting, am I really going to admit defeat just because I see her?

If I beat her, wouldn't I get my revenge for what happened back then?

Moreover, what truly caused them trouble back then was that strange External Soul Bone.

Now that we know her trump card, as long as we don't give her a chance to use it, we might still be able to win!

Its own Phoenix Flame are not just for show.

Ma Hongjun stared at Dugu Yan, and the corners of his mouth turned up again.

"Oh, it's you."

"Two years have passed, it's time to show you what Fatty's skills are up to now!"

Before he finished speaking, the first Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.

The referee had barely raised his hand, and before he could even call "start, "Ma Hongjun had already spat out a burst of flames!

"First Soul Skill! Phoenix Fire Line!"

The crimson line of fire shot straight toward Dugu Yan!

Strike first, strike hard!

He intends to use the Phoenix Flame to suppress Dugu Yan's snake venom and win the match in one fell swoop!

Oscar, watching from the sidelines, was visibly invigorated.

That fat guy was fast!

Once the flames are suppressed first, it won't be so easy for Dugu Yan to release the poison.

Dugu Yan stood still, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

The third Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.

Third Soul Skill! Jade Phosphor Purple Poison!

A dense purple poisonous mist surged forth instantly, propelled by Soul Power, rushing towards the line of fire!

The moment a smile appeared on Ma Hongjun's lips, his expression changed abruptly.

The flames collided with the poisonous fog, but only lasted a moment before being crushed by the oncoming force!

"How is that possible?!"

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened.

He had anticipated that Dugu Yan would dodge and was also prepared for her to suddenly release that Soul Bone, but he never expected that his Phoenix Fire Line would be directly suppressed by the snake venom!

Ma Hongjun hurriedly activated his Soul Power, trying to intensify the fire.

But the purple poisonous mist had already broken through the fire line and rushed straight towards him!

Boom!

A powerful surge of Soul Power slammed into his chest, Ma Hongjun screamed as he was thrown back and crashed heavily outside the Soul Fighting Arena.

Just one move!

Ma Hongjun was stunned by the fall, his head spinning and his ears ringing.

Why is it like this again?

He had clearly gained the upper hand, and hadn't even seen her External Soul Bone yet, but he was still defeated!

He struggled to get up, but a sudden, sharp pain shot through his body, his arms went limp, and he collapsed back down.

The poisonous fog that had just hit him had already been inhaled through his mouth and nose.

His face, still showing shock, quickly turned bluish-purple as he curled up in pain and rolled on the ground.

The cheers from the stands stopped.

Many people were still craning their necks to look, staring blankly at Ma Hongjun outside the stage.

Is that all?

Ma Hongjun, who was just mocking the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, couldn't even withstand a single move?!

After a brief silence, the audience erupted in cheers.

"One move?!"

"No, didn't he strike first?"

"I've already bet all my money, and this is what you show me?!"

The audience member in the front row looked down at the betting slip in his hand, his lips twitched, and he remained silent for a long time.

Oscar's smile had long since frozen.

He had originally thought that once the fat guy won, he would inevitably have to listen to that guy brag for another whole night.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the person had already fallen off the stage.

On the sidelines, Oscar suddenly stood up and rushed towards Ma Hongjun.

"Fatty!"

He bent down to help, and just as his hand touched Ma Hongjun's shoulder, he heard a cry of pain.

"Don't touch it! It hurts!"

Ma Hongjun curled up, his hands gripping his clothes tightly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, writhing on the ground in pain.

Seeing his face turn pale rapidly, Oscar panicked and looked up, shouting at Dugu Yan:

"It's just a competition, did you have to go this far?!"

"A heavy blow?"

A cold laugh came from the side.

Xiao Xuan walked to the edge of the stage and looked at Oscar.

"The referee hadn't even called 'start' yet, and Ma Hongjun already launched a sneak attack with his Soul Skill. When he's being so unethical, why didn't you say a word?"

"Now that you can't even win a sneak attack, you're blaming others for going too far?"

Oscar was speechless for a moment when asked the question.

"I..."

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Ma Hongjun made the first move, and so many people on the field saw it. Even if he wanted to defend Ma Hongjun, he couldn't find a reason.

People around him were already looking at him, and Oscar felt his face burning.

If we continue arguing, we'll only embarrass ourselves.

The sound of Ma Hongjun's cries of pain still echoed in his ears. Oscar gritted his teeth, no longer bothering to argue, bent down, picked him up, and prepared to leave.

But then Dugu Yan's voice came from behind.

"You just left like that?"

She stood by the stage, watching Oscar's retreating figure, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"Didn't you say your Blue Tyrant Academy was stronger than the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy? What, you're scared to fight now?"

Oscar paused, turning around to look.

"You just wait!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting!"

Dugu Yan answered decisively.

"I'll stay right here in this Soul Fighting Arena today, waiting for you Blue Tyrant Academy people to come and seek revenge!"
