A raging wave of fire exploded, and Helan Shu, unable to dodge in mid-air, raised her arm, attaching her soul power to her body. The sparks carrying high temperatures burned a red mark on her arm, but she dared not relax her vigilance in the slightest. Following the inertia of gravity, she fell into the Soul Arena, which was filled with smoke and dust due to the violent explosion.

"Who's winning?"

The man in the audience stood up anxiously from his seat, craning his neck to wait.

"I don't think there's a clear winner. But the Wind and Thunder Spider martial soul's attack power is already above average, and Helan Shu is a Soul Master, a level higher than that girl named Yue Long. Even if she defended, she probably suffered a considerable impact, and that must have been quite unpleasant." The tall man with a thick beard crossed his arms and analyzed the situation.

The third spectator, who was the only one not commenting but was also watching the battle arena, nodded secretly. The next second, his gaze sharpened as he looked in surprise at the dissipating dust above the battle arena, and there was no sign of Qian Yuelong!

Could it be that...?

The third audience member's eyes suddenly widened.

On the smoke-filled Soul Arena, Helan Shu, who had landed first, also sensed something. Her third soul ring hummed, and she wanted to use the same trick again, unleashing her third soul skill to seize control of the Soul Arena and cut off her opponent's chance to take advantage of the chaos. However, this time, she miscalculated.

"call out!"

A sharp whooshing sound came from behind her ears, and Helan Shu, whose mind was on high alert, turned around abruptly. A golden electric net opened in front of her, forming a protective shield that enveloped the flying blue-gold lotus petal phantom. The collision of overloaded elements caused another explosion.

After throwing out the electric fence, Helan Shu quickly jumped back and headed towards a place where the smoke was thinner, intending to escape first.

But the very next second after she turned her head, another petite figure, like a spring, flashed past in the flowing smoke and approached her with incredible speed.

He Lanshu: "!"

Wow, so fast!

A thought of surprise flashed through my mind.

Qian Yuelong smiled brightly as she met Helan Shu's gaze. Her second light purple soul ring flashed, and amidst the pungent smell of gunpowder, a faint, elegant fragrance was inevitably inhaled by Helan Shu.

"Second Soul Skill, Moon Worship."

He Lan Shu's pupils briefly lost their luster, and her dodging movements slowed down, as her mental strength was not as high as Qian Yuelong's and her martial soul had weak magic resistance.

A metallic taste rose in her throat, but Qian Yuelong, ultimately suffering a backlash due to her lower soul power level, suppressed the surging blood energy without changing her expression. She tapped the ground with her toes and leaped backward, creating distance as she spun the materialized handle of her Azure Flame Umbrella. Half a palm-sized lotus petal energy phantom, wrapped in azure flames, shot out towards Helan Shu, hitting her completely while she was momentarily stunned!

Watch my umbrella repair skills, I'll spin the umbrella!

"Boom boom boom—!"

Before one wave of smoke and dust had cleared, another, even thicker wave of black smoke began to rise and spread.

The three audience members and the host, who were confused about what had happened on the fighting stage, realized something after the loud explosion stopped. As they noticed the black smoke was about to dissipate, they held their breath.

On the twenty-meter-wide Soul Battle Platform, Helan Shu lay on the ground, half of her body charred black. Her skin was as thick and tough as a Soul Master's, and her arms and body were burned so badly that the flesh was peeling off and charred black, demonstrating the terrifying power and temperature of the Azure Flame's attack.

"this!"

"A level 34 Soul Master actually lost?"

"Hiss—that girl's flames look fierce. Even a Soul Venerable has been burned like this."

The three people in the audience gasped.

Qian Yuelong, who was standing a few meters away from Helan Shu, had already withdrawn from her Azure Flame form, allowing the Floating World Golden Lotus to return to its original state and float in front of her.

Golden mist seeping from the lotus petals and lotus platform swirled around her, and all that could be seen was that Qian Yuelong's clothes seemed to have several black holes burned in them. As for the extent of the damage, the mist conveniently obscured it, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Moon Dragon wins this Soul Battle!"

Looking at Helan Shu, who was so badly burned by her Floating World Golden Lotus Flame, her delicate and fair face tightened. She was surprised that she could also gain faith points from this, but she was also annoyed that she had not controlled her power well and had gone too far.

However, when facing a Soul Master whose soul power level far exceeds her own, she has to make the worst-case scenario plan.

Wow, she really didn't expect the other person to be so easily burned.

Could it be that the flames of the Floating World Golden Lotus are truly a mutated version of the Angel Martial Soul, inheriting its Solar True Fire?

886, who overheard Qian Yuelong's inner thoughts: [.]

It is well known that control-type Soul Masters in this world have very poor close combat abilities, and their physical attributes vary depending on the individual and the environment.

You, who grew up soaking in medicinal baths and receiving elite training, can hardly be compared to a Soul Master who grows wildly by the roadside.

Outside, the middle-aged man, seeing Qian Yuelong staring at the fallen Helan Shu with such alarm, like a cat with its fur standing on end, reassured her, "It's alright, don't worry about her. The Martial Arts Arena will provide free treatment for every Soul Master who is seriously injured after the match. If it's a minor injury and the person is still conscious, they can choose to wait for it to heal on its own, or go to the infirmary and spend Soul Coins to have a healing Soul Master treat them. The healing Soul Masters in the Martial Arts Arena are all Soul King level, guaranteed to heal completely!"

After all, we'll all be colleagues in the Spirit Hall from now on.

When it comes to investing in talent, you must be well-prepared.

Besides, the Spirit Hall has no shortage of Spirit Masters.

As he was speaking, two staff members who had been notified by the middle-aged man arrived efficiently carrying a stretcher.

Qian Yuelong watched as Helan Shu was carried off on a stretcher, then withdrew her Floating World Golden Lotus. Under the host's slightly stunned gaze, she walked steadily off the Soul Battle Stage and entered the exit.

The bearded man who hadn't left the audience seats watched Qian Yuelong's retreating figure and narrowed his eyes.

Although the light was dim, his excellent eyesight allowed him to clearly see Qian Yuelong's slightly trembling shoulders.

They're really good at enduring things.

After each match, the system will automatically record the results, and participants do not need to register again. The gold coins won from winning the Soul Battle need to be collected by the participants themselves at a later time.

After looking at the treatment fee sign hanging outside the treatment room, Qian Yuelong took out 5 gold soul coins, took a number, and entered the treatment room.

She went in with a pale face, but came out with a rosy cheek, looking refreshed and energetic.

Except for her sleeves and back being blackened by the explosion, everything was fine.

Perhaps her greatest relief was that her clothes were made of exceptional material, incorporating special components that made them resemble high-quality steel armor, preventing them from tearing easily. Unlike Helan Shu, whose clothes had several holes ripped out and were definitely unwearable.

She can still wear it after rubbing it.

Knowing the importance of Soul Coins, Qian Yuelong glanced back at the 5 Gold Soul Coins treatment fee and silently calculated her own savings.

It hurts a little.

You only win 10 Gold Soul Coins in one match!

Registering for a Soul Battle costs 3 Gold Soul Coins. If you are seriously injured or wounded, you can receive treatment for 5 Gold Soul Coins, which makes a total of 8 Gold Soul Coins.

Even if you don't know the price of clothes, if you fight every day, you'll burn through your money quickly.

Qian Yuelong shook her head, intending to return to the service desk in the lobby to see if there were any lone Soul Masters she could team up for a two-on-two Soul Battle.

Each type of Soul Battle in the Martial Soul Arena can only be held once a day, so time and opportunities cannot be wasted. Teachers can set a target for the number of victories.
