When Xiao Yan effortlessly secured three victories.
On the other side, Hu Liena also made great strides.
My first opponent was a level 52 Soul King with the Martial Soul Iron Arm Ape.
Under Hu Liena's Charm skill, the man fell into an illusion after just one glance at her and walked off the stage.
The second opponent was a level 54 Soul King with the Martial Soul" Blazing Fire Eagle".
Faced with Hu Liena's Charm, he struggled for a moment, but ultimately he was just as defenseless against Hu Liena, collapsing to the ground in defeat with a gentle touch.
The two Soul King were completely powerless against Hu Liena's control.
This also surprised Xiao Yan slightly regarding Hu Liena's Martial Soul and Charm Soul Skill.
Over the course of two years, Hu Liena's control became increasingly terrifying.
In the third round, Hu Liena encountered a level 55 Soul King.
The Martial Soul Vajra Bear, granting this being immense strength and extremely strong defense.
Unfortunately, it was too cumbersome and was also defeated by Hu Liena.
They couldn't even force Hu Liena to reveal her true strength.
Now, as Xiao Yan looked at Hu Liena and her opponent on the field, a hint of interest finally appeared on his face.
Hu Liena's opponent in this battle was Salas Weide, the son of Salas, the bishop of the Martial Soul Temple in Heaven Dou City.
Level 57 Soul King, Martial Soul Golden Lion.
With such strength, even among the younger generation of the Spirit Hall, she would be a top contender, second only to Hu Liena and others.
Weide was nearly two meters tall, with long golden hair, and his whole body radiated a dazzling light.
Once on stage, he stared intently at Hu Liena, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Roar~"
With a terrifying roar, a gigantic phantom of Golden Lion appeared behind Weide, then slowly merged into his body.
His body was also covered with a layer of golden light.
One by one, the Soul Ring appeared, and the five Soul Ring pulsed continuously on his body.
"Third Soul Skill, Golden Lion Roar!"
Hu Liena's control in the previous battles was so impressive that Weide didn't let Hu Liena make the first move.
After the Martial Soul Possession, the Purple Soul Ring on the body surface flicker.
He roared to the sky, and a golden sound wave spread from his mouth, sweeping towards Hu Liena.
Hu Liena remained unfazed, her spirit Soul Ring flashing as she faced Weide's attack.
A similar red mental wave emanated from Hu Liena's brow and collided with Weide's golden sound wave.
"Boom!"
Neither of them showed any sign of retreating; the two immense forces collided in the void, unleashing a blinding light.
Hu Liena and Weide stood there, a hint of emotion on their faces.
The immense Soul Power of the two Soul King clashed in the void.
"Interesting..."
Weide looked at Hu Liena and saw that they had chosen to fight head-on, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He then increased his Soul Power output.
"Bang!"
Finally, with the burst of Soul Power from the collision, Hu Liena and Weide were both forced to take several steps back under the powerful impact of this Soul Power.
However, Xiao Yan could tell that Hu Liena had gained a certain advantage in this exchange.
The onlookers screamed when they saw the powerful attack unleashed by Hu Liena and Weide.
No one expected that Hu Liena, who looked so gentle and weak, would choose to fight a tough guy like Weide head-on.
Fourth Soul Skill: Fox Demon Illusion!
As soon as Nianwen's attack ended, the Soul Ring on Hu Liena's body shone brightly once again.
At the same time, a powerful mental wave surged forth from his head, enveloping Weide entirely.
" Soul Bone Skill..."
Xiao Yun's gaze fell on Hu Liena's head, and he spoke softly.
As Hu Liena's Soul Skill and Soul Bone Skill simultaneously landed on Weide.
Weide froze on the spot, a complex expression on his face.
It was immediately clear that Weide had fallen into the illusion that Hu Liena had pulled him into.
"It's over..."
Xiao Yun withdrew his gaze.
The moment Weide was pulled into the illusion by Hu Liena, his defeat was already inevitable.
Hu Liena's Soul Power level was already higher than Weide's, and now that he had pulled her into the illusion, it would be virtually impossible for her to break free.
Sure enough, as Weide fell into the illusion, Hu Liena's actions did not stop.
She moved nimbly and swiftly towards Weide, her fox tail suddenly extending behind her.
Under Xiao Yan's astonished gaze, after the Martial Soul Possession, her originally soft, snow-white tail became thicker and larger.
He then swept the ball across Weide's chest, sending him flying off the ring.
" Hu Liena wins!"
Seeing Weide being knocked off the stage by Hu Liena, the referee declared Hu Liena the winner.
After winning, Hu Liena turned around and her eyes immediately met Xiao Yan's.
His eyes shone with an indomitable spirit.
As the number of participants decreased, Xiao Yan was extremely lucky to draw a bye spot.
Until the very end, it seemed as if it had been deliberately arranged.
Xiao Yan's final opponent was none other than Hu Liena.
Faced with this "coincidental" bye to advance to the finals, Xiao Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Bibi Dong and the others above.
As for the others, they didn't say much.
After all, Xiao Yan's current Soul Emperor level strength makes him a genuine champion.
In addition, Hu Liena's displayed strength far surpassed that of the other Soul Master.
Moreover, with Bibi Dong backing Hu Liena up, no one dared to say anything.
The main reason, of course, is that they all understand.
In any case, the positions of Holy Son and Holy Daughter will never be given to their own disciples.
And then Xiao Yan and Hu Liena stood on the arena once again.
The spectators from various factions in the stands were fiercely debating who would become the ultimate champion.
"We've finally waited for this moment."
" Xiao Yan and Hu Liena are both geniuses among geniuses."
"Who do you think will win? In my opinion, it's Xiao Yan. He's already advanced to Soul Emperor."
"Not necessarily! Hu Liena is His Holiness the Pope's personal disciple; she definitely has some trump cards we don't know about!"
"Just wait and see, you'll find out soon enough."
Meanwhile, behind Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
Two figures dressed in black cloaks stood in seclusion, their gazes fixed on Xiao Yan on the arena from a great distance.
" Xiao Yan..."
Hearing those people shouting Xiao Yan's name, the figure under the black robe let out a suppressed voice, his tone filled with killing intent.
" Xiao Yan, I've waited two years for this day."
On the arena, Hu Liena took a deep breath, suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, and looked at Xiao Yan opposite her.
For Hu Liena, who values honor above all else, her defeat at the hands of Xiao Yan was a lingering regret that she could never overcome.
Now, looking at Xiao Yan standing opposite her once again, Hu Liena's eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit once more.
"Let's begin."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Hu Liena, completely calm.
As the match began, fiery red Soul Power surged forth from Hu Liena's body, coalescing into a gigantic phantom of Demon Fox behind her.
The Demon Fox was entirely fiery red, with nine tails swaying gently behind it, and its eyes gleaming with Youyou light as they fell upon Xiao Yan.
" Martial Soul Protection!"
With a cold shout from Hu Liena, the Martial Soul behind her instantly merged into her body.
"The first Soul Skill, Demon Fox Charm."
Hu Liena's pupils turned pink as she looked up at Xiao Yan.
However, when she met Xiao Yan's gaze, a hint of helplessness appeared in her pink eyes once again.
Just like before, a cold white flame flickered silently deep within Xiao Yan's pupils.
Her Charm Soul Skill had no effect on Xiao Yan.
The mental fluctuations landed on Xiao Yan, but disappeared without a trace, like mud flowing into the sea.
"Call!"
Xiao Yan did not pause in the face of Hu Liena's attack.
With a slight lift of his right hand, pale ice crystals appeared behind him. Then, with a flick of his finger, they shot towards Hu Liena like swift arrows.
" The Dance of the Demon Fox!"
Sensing Xiao Yan's attack, Hu Liena's figure transformed into a fiery red blur, increasing her speed several times over.
While dodging Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan, it pounced towards him.
