Frightened Stupid? The Marvelous Use of the Fallen Heart Flame

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the combination badge in her hand as if she were dreaming. Why had she inexplicably agreed to that combination name after merely meeting his eyes? It was utterly ridiculous.

But now that things had come to this, she could not be bothered to correct it.

"This is for you." Yang Tian took out two masks, one black and one white, from his Storage Ring, then gave the black one to Zhu Zhuqing. Thus, the two of them, resembling the Black and White Impermanence, exchanged a smile. The Soul Arena battles began!

The individual matches were nothing more than child's play for Yang Tian. He casually defeated his opponent and claimed a victory.

Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, faced Tang San and lost without any suspense.

Agility Attack System Soul Masters might be able to defeat Control System Soul Masters, but Tang San's control was definitely not something an ordinary Agility Attack System Soul Master could overcome.

In the spectator stands, Yang Tian stood beside Zhu Zhuqing. Down on the Soul Arena stage, the Three-Five Combination was facing the Tie Brothers. Because of Yang Tian's presence, Tang San and Xiao Wu were much stronger than in the original story, so the Tie Brothers did not give them much trouble this time.

As the cheers died down, the host stepped onto the stage. "What a splendid Soul Arena battle! Who would have thought that our Suotuo City had such young Soul Grand Masters!

"Next, we have a combination that will be even more surprising: the Heaven Cat Combination!

"The Heaven Cat Combination consists of one Soul Elder and one Soul Grandmaster, while their opponents are the Fire Fire Combination, veterans of the Soul Arena! Now, please welcome both sides to the stage!"

In the waiting area, Yang Tian and Zhu Zhuqing had long since prepared themselves. At the host's announcement, they walked onto the Soul Arena stage through a special passage.

"I always feel like we're being put on display like monkeys." Yang Tian felt somewhat uncomfortable upon entering the arena, while Zhu Zhuqing did not share that feeling and silently followed behind him.

When Yang Tian and Zhu Zhuqing appeared, the spectators immediately began discussing them. "Never heard of the Heaven Cat Combination. And these two Soul Masters look pretty young. Can they really do it?"

"Tch, they're obviously newcomers—some clan Soul Masters who aren't afraid of anything because they're inexperienced. Stepping onto the Soul Arena stage means the battle has begun, yet they're being so casual."

"Sigh, I thought this might be interesting. The Fire Fire Combination has picked up another free win."

Yang Tian's casual manner drew sighs from the audience. Only Tang San and the others pressed their lips together. How serious did a freak who could fight a Soul Saint head-on need to be against two Soul Elders? If he got truly serious, people would die.

"I feel like I'm just a spectator." Before the battle had even begun, Zhu Zhuqing spoke up.

Yang Tian paused in thought, and at that moment, another mission was issued in his mind.

"Ding! Mission issued: Help Zhu Zhuqing defeat a Soul Elder.

Mission reward: Two Common Grade Theft Tickets."

"I'll create an opportunity for you to fight later."

Zhu Zhuqing was briefly stunned, then lightly nodded. With Yang Tian's strength, if he held one of them back, she could use the other Soul Elder to train herself.

However, when the Fire Fire Combination stepped onto the stage opposite them, Yang Tian frowned. "They're both level thirty-nine. No wonder they're so popular."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yang Tian. At level thirty-nine, she did not yet have the strength to face a Soul Elder of that level.

"Both sides, release your Martial Souls!"

Across from them, the burly man gave a low shout. Martial Soul Possession—Fire Lion! The other youth, who was rather skinny and had a lecherous face, also chuckled. Martial Soul Possession—Fire Snake!

Though Zhu Zhuqing felt that she could not handle a Soul Elder, she still swiftly used Martial Soul Possession. Yang Tian, in contrast, remained standing in place without moving, looking as curious as ever.

"My god, where did this fool come from? Does he not even know to release his Martial Soul?"

"Did he get scared stupid? And he's even wearing a mask!"

"If you want to get yourselves killed, don't drag that young lady down with you."

A wave of discussion arose from the stands, and even the host could not help reminding him, "Young man, quickly release your Martial Soul."

At that moment, Tang San, who was also watching the battle, gave a mysterious smile. "Two fire-wielding Soul Masters have run into the ancestor of fire-wielders. They're going to be played to ruin."

The others did not understand. Ma Hongjun leaned over and asked, "Is Yang Tian really that good with fire?"

Tang San merely smiled without answering, while Xiao Wu proudly said, "Did you forget what happened this morning?"

Ma Hongjun immediately recalled how Yang Tian had made his soul skill rebound with just a sentence. He instantly felt sorry for those two Soul Elders. Being hit by your own soul skill... that was quite a sensation.

On the Soul Arena stage, the Fire Snake Soul Master's lecherous gaze fell upon Zhu Zhuqing. Her curvaceous, exquisite body was like a spark that ignited flames. "Lion, this woman is mine."

The Fire Lion Soul Master frowned, but still nodded. He had long known what kind of person his teammate was.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, took two small steps back, disgust evident in her eyes.

At that moment, Yang Tian spoke. "What did you say?"

Yang Tian looked at the Fire Snake Soul Master with a smile. Hearing him, the Fire Snake Soul Master gave a lewd grin. "I said I'll take good care of this little beauty."

Zhu Zhuqing wore a mask that covered half her face, concealing her full appearance. Yet even from the exposed half of her exquisite cheek and her graceful figure, one could tell she was a peerless beauty.

After hearing the Fire Snake Soul Master's words, Yang Tian nodded with a serious expression. Then he asked Zhu Zhuqing, "Do you want to do it yourself?"

"I'm only level twenty-eight." Zhu Zhuqing had originally been level twenty-seven, but after drinking half a bottle of fruit wine that morning, she had cultivated for a while that afternoon and broken through to level twenty-eight.

"Mm, that's not the problem. The question is whether you want to do it yourself. Teach him a lesson!" Yang Tian pointed at the Fire Snake Soul Master.

"I do!" Zhu Zhuqing looked somewhat expectant. Since Yang Tian had asked that, he should have a way.

"Kiss me."

Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly turned red. She shot Yang Tian a coquettish glare, her every gesture brimming with charm, nearly making an old pervert like Yang Tian lose himself.

"This is a Soul Arena battle!" Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

"Then you owe me one! Get ready, here it comes!" Yang Tian pursed his lips at her words, then raised his right hand. A crimson flame bloomed at his fingertips. With a flick of his finger, the crimson flame sank into Zhu Zhuqing's chest.

At once, a scorching energy surged through Zhu Zhuqing's body. The flame had brought with it a tremendous amount of Soul Power.

As the flame entered her body and warm currents coursed through her, Zhu Zhuqing involuntarily let out a soft moan. She immediately realized what had happened, her pretty face flushing crimson. At the same time, she discovered a different kind of energy within her body. She could mobilize it with her Soul Power, and it was incomparably abundant—more than twice as powerful as her own strength.

"Don't tempt me. My self-control isn't that good!" Yang Tian teased Zhu Zhuqing with a grin, then raised his hand again. A cyan flame appeared in his palm: the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. The instant it appeared, a wall of fire formed and directly enveloped the Fire Lion Martial Soul's Soul Elder.

The Fire Lion Soul Elder was trapped. Neither sound nor Soul Power leaked out in the slightest, but the Fire Snake Soul Master paid it no mind and charged toward Zhu Zhuqing instead.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned cold. The look in that Fire Snake Soul Elder's eyes disgusted her.
