"Sure. I've got nothing to do today, so I'll have a good time playing with you."
After saying that, Mu Yueye turned to look at the people still sitting in the classroom and said,
"The same goes for you. If you want to test me, you'd better do it this afternoon. This afternoon will be the one time I go easiest on you."
With that, Mu Yueye walked out of the classroom. Most of the students who had remained inside chose to follow him.
It wasn't just that some students wanted to challenge Mu Yueye. After he displayed his Soul Rings and issued his challenge, everyone was interested in the outcome of the match.
They all wanted to know whether Mu Yueye really had the strength or was simply being frivolous.
The inner court's Soul Fighting platform was far more advanced than the outer court's platform described in the original work.
Not only was the platform surface entirely made of metal, but metal supports also stood one after another around its edges.
Only after paying and formally activating the Soul Fighting platform did Mu Yueye learn what those supports did.
They were something like monitoring devices. Once Soul Power fluctuations appeared that could threaten the safety of either Soul Fighting contestant,
these energy supports would automatically deploy shields to intercept those Soul Power fluctuations.
At the same time, the protected side would be forcibly declared the loser of the Soul Fight, reducing the chance of casualties as much as possible.
It also simulated the Soul Fighting format of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament to the greatest extent possible.
Mu Yueye stood at one end of the Soul Fighting platform, looking at Xi Xi and Ling Luochеn across from him.
"Xi Xi, Agility Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor."
"Ling Luochеn, Control System Battle Soul Ancestor."
After stepping onto the Soul Fighting platform, the two women first nodded to Mu Yueye, then gave their names and systems.
Mu Yueye glanced at them and then spoke calmly.
"Mu Yueye, Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor."
"Please advise me!"
All three said those final words together.
After they said those words, a soul tool screen rose from the Soul Fighting platform, and a three-second countdown began.
The moment the number reached zero, the soul tool screen slowly rose, announcing at the same time that the Soul Fight could begin.
The next moment, as the soul tool screen rose, Xi Xi shot out like a bolt of lightning, naturally heading straight for Mu Yueye's flank.
Ling Luochеn, meanwhile, unhurriedly summoned an ice staff from the rear.
It was a staff of ice summoned by her first Soul Skill, formed entirely from condensed ice elemental power.
It was also the key to her subsequent use of other Soul Skills.
"Third Soul Skill, Ice Prison!"
After summoning the ice staff, Ling Luochеn quickly spun it and unleashed a Control Soul Skill at Mu Yueye.
Ice-blue light flew from Ling Luochеn's staff and reached the space above Mu Yueye's head almost instantly. It radiated light, trapping him in place.
By then, Xi Xi had also reached Mu Yueye's left side and thrust at him.
Mu Yueye merely smiled. The deep-purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring beneath his feet flashed for an instant, and he calmly spoke as well.
"Third Soul Skill, Starlight Dragon Flash."
As Mu Yueye finished speaking, the Radiant Sacred Dragon instantly pressed close to his body, and then he turned into a streak of golden light.
The golden streak met with no resistance, instantly breaking free of the Ice Prison.
The next moment, a ball of golden light flashed behind Ling Luochеn as well.
Mu Yueye's figure reappeared in everyone's sight within that golden light.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Mist Nether Chill!"
Only when Mu Yueye's warm breath brushed her neck did Ling Luochеn realize where he had gone. She immediately turned around and frantically flung her fourth Soul Skill at him.
Thick, dense ice mist instantly swept toward Mu Yueye, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. Ling Luochеn also prepared to use the mist to conceal herself.
But it was already too late. A nearly imperceptible hint of purple appeared in Mu Yueye's eyes, and the next moment, a hand pierced through the ice mist like an unrigged claw machine.
It firmly seized Ling Luochеn's slender neck.
Panic flashed in Ling Luochеn's eyes, and the next moment, a sensation of weightlessness spread through her body.
Mu Yueye lifted her entire body off the ground.
At the same time, Xi Xi charged back again. At her speed, each trip across the Soul Fighting platform took no more than a few seconds.
Normally, she would have been able to continue fighting Mu Yueye with absolute ease.
She simply hadn't expected a Power Attack System Soul Master's third Soul Skill to include such a long-distance instant teleportation.
That unconventional Soul Skill configuration had caught her completely off guard.
If this hadn't been such a serious fight, leaving her no time to ask, she would even have wanted to ask Mu Yueye,
"Seriously, bro, which one of us is the Agility Attack System? I've been running around all this time, and you just used one skill to teleport over there?"
Xi Xi was preparing to repeat her trick and attack Mu Yueye's flank.
Mu Yueye, meanwhile, acted as though he hadn't noticed Xi Xi's move, remaining where he was with his hand around Ling Luochеn's neck.
Ling Luochеn felt her Soul Power completely sealed by Mu Yueye's fingertips against her neck. Like an ordinary woman, she could only strike his wrist in a futile attempt to break free of his claw-like grip.
But Mu Yueye was in his Martial Soul Possession state, with the Radiant Sacred Dragon's golden scales covering his hand. Even if Ling Luochеn had her Soul Power, she might not have been able to break through his defense, let alone now.
Just as Xi Xi was about to reach Mu Yueye's ribs, he abruptly stepped backward and seized the back of her neck with his free hand.
Xi Xi felt as though she had been abruptly yanked to a halt, and her body rippled with the motion.
Seeing her fairly average peaks move slightly, Mu Yueye's mouth twitched.
Pressing both women to the ground, Mu Yueye said,
"You've lost. Do you admit it or not?"
Ling Luochеn struggled frantically and said to Mu Yueye,
"I don't accept it. Again!"
Mu Yueye smiled, then released Ling Luochеn and looked at Xi Xi beside her.
"What about you? Don't just stay quiet."
Xi Xi was silent for a moment before reaching out and patting the ground beside her.
Ling Luochеn froze for a moment. Xi Xi's gesture was familiar to anyone on the Douluo Continent who frequently took part in Soul Fights.
It was often used to signal surrender when one couldn't speak.
Usually, after someone made that gesture, the other side would stop unless it was a life-or-death match.
Ling Luochеn looked at Xi Xi in surprise and spoke in disbelief.
"Xi Xi, you're giving up just like that?"
Xi Xi gave a wry smile and spread her hands at Ling Luochеn, her gaze calm as she said...
