"Third match, Kong Xuan!"

When Elder Song's voice rang out, the Inner Court fell into a deathly silence.

The audience fell silent instantly, their faces filled with solemnity and disbelief.

They never expected that even Senior Sister Han Ruoruo, a Contra Soul Douluo- level expert, would be defeated.

Although most people were unaware of what had just happened, as a Super Douluo and the referee, Elder Song could not possibly make a mistake in his judgment, nor could he possibly favor Kong Xuan, the exchange student from the Sun Moon Sect.

The trainees in the audience were almost going crazy; many rubbed their eyes hard, wondering if they were all hallucinating.

If their previous victory over Soul Saint Wu Ming could be attributed to attribute advantage and surprise, then this direct defeat of a Soul Douluo- level powerhouse who has awakened his Martial Soul Avatar and is known for his control abilities has completely overturned their understanding of the Soul Master level system!

It's already legendary for Soul Emperor to defeat Soul Saint, let alone Soul Emperor crushing Soul Douluo? That's practically a fantasy! Yet it actually happened right before our eyes!

On the Inner Court disciples' side, the scrutinizing and even slightly resentful gazes that had previously been replaced by intense shock, apprehension, and a barely perceptible fear.

Han Ruoruo's strength is among the top in the Inner Court's Soul Douluo ranks, and her Shaking Gold Avatar is extremely troublesome; once controlled, it will seal her Soul Power and Soul Skill.

Yet even such a powerful figure seemed utterly powerless before Kong Xuan's bizarre Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill, without even a chance to struggle!

An emotion called "despair" began to spread like a plague among some Inner Court disciples.

This boy, who seemed to come from the Sun Moon, stood before them like an insurmountable, towering mountain, suffocating them.

On the Soul Fighting Arena, the effect of the spatial confinement slowly dissipated.

Han Ruoruo's face was slightly pale, not because of excessive consumption of Soul Power, but more because of the shock and frustration deep in her heart.

She raised her head and looked at Kong Xuan, who remained calm, with a complex expression. In her intelligent eyes, there was no resentment or bitterness, only a calm acceptance that came from rational analysis.

She gently straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, nodded slightly to Kong Xuan, and said in a clear and calm voice, "Your spatial power is unparalleled. I have lost, and I am completely convinced."

He made no excuses for himself and uttered no harsh words to save face.

As a genius from the Inner Court and an elite of Shrek, she possesses the magnanimity to admit defeat and objectively view the strength of her opponents.

But this composure earned the silent admiration of many in the stands.

After saying that, Han Ruoruo didn't linger and turned to fly away from the Soul Fighting Arena.

Her surrender and departure were like a silent hammer blow to the hearts of all the Inner Court disciples.

Three-game winning streak!

Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, and Soul Douluo —three levels of Inner Court geniuses—were all defeated by him!

Kong Xuan remained standing with his hands behind his back, showing no sign of resting, his gaze once again fixed on the Inner Court of the audience seats.

Despite having gone through three battles, his aura remained calm and deep, as if the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill he had just used had not caused him much depletion.

He won three matches: the first was a crushing victory in marksmanship, the second was a victory due to elemental advantage, and the third, although Han Ruoruo was strong, she had no way to deal with his spatial power.

Therefore, Kong Xuan's energy expenditure was indeed not too great, but at the same time, he always felt that his cultivation of Spear Intent was still lacking.

What he needs is a duel where he is evenly matched and has to go all out, so that he can seize the opportunity to master the Invincible Spear Intent.

In the audience, where the Inner Court students were seated, Zhang Lexuan, the Grandmaster of the Inner Court, slowly stood up.

At this point, only she in the Inner Court had a chance of defeating Kong Xuan.

All eyes were on her; she was the last hope of the Inner Court, and even Shrek Academy.

Cai Mei'er looked at her and said, "Go, just do your best."

Zhang Lexuan nodded, leaped from the audience seats, and floated down onto the Soul Fighting Arena.

She didn't intentionally release her Soul Power, but the calm aura belonging to the Inner Court's top student had already made the noisy Soul Fighting Arena unconsciously quiet down.

Her clear gaze fell on Kong Xuan, her voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable solemnity. " Kong Xuan, this is the final match. If you win, the Inner Court will concede defeat in this contest."

His words were clearly audible throughout the room, eliciting a low murmur of surprise.

But they quickly realized that if Zhang Lexuan, the Grandmaster of the Inner Court, also lost, then there would truly be no one in the Inner Court who could rival Kong Xuan. What else could they do but admit defeat?!

Kong Xuan looked at her cousin, whom she had only met a few times, and said with a hint of intimacy in her smile, " Sister Lexuan, I knew it would be you who would make a grand entrance in the end."

On Zhang Lexuan's gentle and dignified face, the gentleness gradually faded, replaced by an extreme seriousness.

From the previous three battles, she knew Kong Xuan's strength well, so even though he was Soul Douluo, she dared not be careless.

She took a deep breath, and a faint Moonlight began to swirl around her, making the air seem a bit cooler.

"In this match, I will give it my all and hold nothing back."

She spoke each word carefully, a warning that was both a declaration and the utmost respect for her cousin. " Kong Xuan, you need to be careful."

Zhang Lexuan had already made up her mind to go all out. Having received such a great favor from Mu En, Zhang Lexuan was determined to uphold the honor of the academy!

Sensing the rising, fierce aura emanating from Zhang Lexuan, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor, Kong Xuan's smile gradually faded.

The ease and nonchalance in his eyes faded, replaced by a seriousness born of eager anticipation, and a solemn focus when facing a worthy opponent.

"Alright!" Kong Xuan's voice was clear and firm. "In that case, Sister Lexuan, let's fight it out!"

Their conversation was clearly heard by everyone in the Soul Fighting Arena. They all felt that Kong Xuan, this exchange student from the Sun Moon Academy, seemed to be somewhat familiar with their Grandmaster from the Inner Court, and her attitude towards the previous three opponents was completely different.

However, they don't have time to think about this now, because the final showdown has officially begun.

Kong Xuan knew that his cousin Zhang Lexuan was very strong, far superior to his previous opponents, so he launched the first attack this time.

His Third Soul Ring lit up instantly, and his aura surged dramatically.

Third Soul Skill: Atlas Battle Intent!

This Soul Skill is his only support Soul Skill. Although the initial boost is not significant, its terrifying aspect lies in the fact that it continuously amplifies the user's strength, speed, and other attributes as the battle progresses, making it a prime example of becoming stronger the longer the battle goes on.

Kong Xuan used this technique right from the start, which shows how much he values Zhang Lexuan.

Before the light of his Soul Skill had faded, Kong Xuan's figure had already blurred and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he actually crossed the hundred-meter distance between the two of them and appeared dozens of meters away from Zhang Lexuan as if by teleportation!

First Soul Skill: Void Stab!

He thrust the Atlas Spear in his hand repeatedly towards himself, the space at the tip of the spear slightly distorting, seemingly piercing empty air, but the target was Zhang Lexuan.

After the previous battles, everyone was familiar with Kong Xuan's Soul Skill, and they were curious about how Zhang Lexuan would deal with it.

The moment Kong Xuan's Soul Ring lit up, Zhang Lexuan had already completed the Martial Soul Possession, with eight Soul Ring —two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red—surrounding her.

Faced with Kong Xuan's sudden attack, she dared not be negligent in the slightest, and her Fourth Soul Ring flashed without hesitation.

Fourth Soul Skill: Moonlight Body Protection!

The cool Moonlight instantly condensed, forming a solid, crystal-like silver-white light shield around her.

The light shield shimmered with iridescent light, as if the moon's shadow were shifting within it. This was the only purely defensive Soul Skill among her Soul Skill, and its defensive power was among the best in its class.

Almost at the same time the protective shield was formed, the bright Silver Moon above Zhang Lexuan's head shone brightly, and her first, second, and Third Soul Ring flashed one after another as if they were linked together!

Beams of silver light, condensed to the point of being almost tangible, shot out with unparalleled precision from the Silver Moon above her head, like sharp blades wielded by the Yue Shen.

These Moon Blade did not attack blindly, but rather with astonishing foresight, crisscrossing in the space around her body.

"Ding ding ding ding--!"

A series of crisp, rapid collisions rang out!

In the void beside Zhang Lexuan, the tip of the Atlas Spear, which had just been probing the sky, was precisely intercepted by these Moon Blade that struck first after being struck later!

The silvery Moonlight, as it blocked the attack of the Atlas Spear, transformed into countless specks of moonlight that splashed across the Soul Fighting Arena, like a brief but dazzling rain of light.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lexuan looked into the distance, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. It seemed a little different from the last match!
