A Shocking First Battle

As he spoke, Qin Ming took out a small box.

"Here are four pairs of identical balls except for their color. Each of you take one; those of the same color form a pair."

Since Ye Lingling is the only Auxiliary System Soul Master in the Imperial Fighting Team, there's no need to worry about two Auxiliary System Soul Masters getting together.

"Okay!"

Yu Feng was always incredibly enthusiastic about this kind of thing, so he simply rushed forward and pulled out a small ball from inside.

Afterwards, Yu Tianheng and the others took turns going up and grabbing a small ball.

Lin Qingchen, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry at all; he was fine with being paired with anyone.

Seeing that everyone else had touched it, he slowly took out a small red ball from the box.

"Red?"

Dugu Yan glanced at the small black ball in her hand, somewhat disappointed.

"Birdman! It's you again?" Osler's defenses crumbled instantly when he saw the small yellow ball in Yu Feng's hand.

Is it really fate playing tricks on them, putting these two Agility Attack System Soul Master together in one team?

Yu Tianheng tossed the small purple ball in his hand nonchalantly; to him, it didn't matter who he teamed up with.

He was confident that with his strength, he could hold his own even in a two-on-one fight.

As for the Shi Brothers, they each received a purple ball and a black ball.

In other words...

"Qingchen, I'm in your group now," Ye Lingling said softly as she approached Lin Qingchen.

Lin Qingchen nodded. "Well, then I'll have to rely on your healing abilities to keep me going."

"I will." Ye Lingling nodded emphatically.

Dugu Yan glanced at the small black ball in her hand, then at the small red ball in Ye Lingling's hand, and then quietly moved closer.

"Lingling, look..."

"I won't change it."

Dugu Yan:...

No, I haven't asked yet.

"Okay then."

In fact, Dugu Yan knew that the other party would never switch places with her, since this girl had definitely taken a liking to Lin Qingchen now.

She sighed inwardly; this "hero saves the damsel in distress" tactic really works...

After seeing that everyone had finished forming groups, Qin Ming said, "Now that you've all been grouped, go and sign up. The group with the best performance this month will receive an extra reward."

"Good!"

Upon hearing about the reward, Yu Feng instantly became motivated, forgetting about Osler and his own affairs, and dragged him towards the registration desk.

"Sigh, this guy is still so unpredictable." Yu Tianheng sighed and rubbed his forehead. Even though their Imperial Fighting Team was full of handsome men and beautiful women, Yu Feng always managed to ruin the entire scene the moment he appeared. Wasn't that a kind of talent?

"Qingchen, if we bump into each other on the field later, I won't hold back." Yu Tianheng waved his fist at Lin Qingchen.

Lin Qingchen smiled slightly, "Really? I think you'd better pray you don't run into me, that way you can lose one less match."

Sigh, I'm getting old, I've lost all my passion. I really envy young people like Yu Tianheng. (Just kidding)

"Then I'll be going now." Dugu Yan waved with a smile, and then left with the usually taciturn Shi Mo.

"Let's go, it's time to register."

"Good."

Ye Lingling responded softly and followed Lin Qingchen away step by step.

"Why..."

Qin Ming watched the backs of the group and sighed softly.

"Are kids these days so precocious? I'm a teacher, and I'm still single..."

"Next up, please welcome the newly promoted Iron Soul Fighter Combination 'Qilin Begonia' to face off against the 'Iron Fist Team' in the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena."

In one of the branch venues of the Great Soul Arena, the host announced loudly.

As one of the largest Soul Fighting Arena, the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena naturally has more than one arena.

In fact, there are a total of seven competition stages here, one large and six small.

Lin Qingchen led Ye Lingling up to the number one competition platform from one side.

As classic examples of people who are terrible at naming things, the two didn't come up with any fancy names. Instead, they each took two characters from their Martial Soul as their combined name.

"Haha, who do we have here? Just two snot-nosed little brats."

On the other side of the competition platform, two burly men with bare chests stood side by side.

Upon seeing that the newcomer was just a child, the two immediately burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Hey, I advise you to get off the stage right now, that way you can avoid getting hurt."

Lin Qingchen ignored the two of them and simply whispered to Ye Lingling, "After the competition starts, just stand by the platform. If anyone comes looking for you, just jump off. Don't get hurt."

"I understand. And what about you?" Ye Lingling asked with concern.

"Heh, a mere Soul Elder. Even if a Soul Ancestor came, he wouldn't be a match for me." Lin Qingchen smiled confidently.

Although Ye Lingling didn't quite understand why Lin Qingchen was so confident, she inexplicably believed his words.

Perhaps it's because his performance back then was so amazing.

"Both sides prepare!"

The referee's voice rang out, and Lin Qingchen took a step forward, facing the two opponents.

Ye Lingling obediently took a few steps back until she reached the edge of the field.

"Start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two burly men opposite him instantly possessed their Martial Soul Possession and charged straight at Lin Qingchen.

It seems that although these two people look down on Lin Qingchen and Ye Lingling, they are actually very cautious and have no intention of underestimating their opponents.

The two individuals Martial Soul that are Iron-Horned Water Buffalo and Iron Fist Giant Ape, respectively, both of which are standard Power Attack System Martial Soul.

The Iron Fist Giant Ape Soul Master's cultivation level was clearly higher, reaching level 37, which explains why the group used his name.

"Third Soul Skill, Heavy Charge!"

The Iron-Horned Water Buffalo Soul Master roared, and a phantom of a buffalo appeared behind him. Then, he charged forward like a runaway car.

"Good timing."

Lin Qingchen slowly raised his right hand, Five Elements Qilin Martial Soul entered his body, with five-colored scales appearing on his right hand.

The First Soul Skill, the Five Elements Divine Body!

Facing the charging Iron-Horned Water Buffalo Soul Master, Lin Qingchen threw a punch that collided with the water buffalo phantom.

"Bang--"

A loud bang rang out, and smoke and dust scattered everywhere.

"Whoosh--"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience, because the scene they had expected— Lin Qingchen being sent flying—did not happen. Instead, Lin Qingchen managed to hold down one of the opponent's iron horns with one hand.

"He has some strength, but that's all."

Lin Qingchen exerted force, actually lifting the Iron-Horned Water Buffalo Soul Master up with one hand, and then slammed him down onto another Soul Master who was nearby.

The other party was startled and instinctively dodged the incoming "weapon".

He managed to dodge and was unharmed, but his brother suffered the consequences.

A large hole was smashed into the hard ground, and the Soul Master who had been used as a weapon suddenly fainted.

"Such powerful strength!" The Iron Fist Giant Ape Soul Master's pupils contracted.

But before he could react, Lin Qingchen's Gui Mei figure had already appeared in front of him.

"Still looking? I'm taking you in!"

The next moment, a fist covered in five-colored scales landed on his face, sending him flying and crashing off the stage.

"Whoosh--"

"I declare the 'Qilin Begonia' duo the winner!"

As the referee's voice faded, the shocked audience snapped out of their daze and gasped in surprise.

Meanwhile, the frenzied discussion slowly spread.
