The sudden eruption of power left the fat rat-man, who was sprinting at full speed, with no time to react. In an instant, five streaks of shimmering blue force pierced straight through his chest.
The red-haired catwoman, however, possessed astonishing willpower. Even after suffering a heavy blow to her back, she had no intention of giving up.
At the moment she turned around, her third soul ring lit up.
Bathed in purple light, the claws on her hands suddenly stretched and flattened to nearly ten times their original length, as if they had transformed into ten sharp swords stabbing toward Zhu Zhuqing.
The soul power carried by those claws produced sharp puffing sounds as they sliced through the air, tearing open bursts of sonic booms wherever they passed.
This display genuinely made Xiao Yan's eyes light up.
The cat-type Soul Master was already extremely fast, but after activating her third soul ring, her speed doubled once again—surpassing the limits of a typical Soul Elder.
Soul skills truly were miraculous.
If any other Soul Master had been facing this move, they might very well have been overwhelmed by her desperate, life-or-death speed.
But Zhu Zhuqing was no ordinary Soul Master—and she wasn't fighting alone.
"Sword One—Break!"
At that moment, Ning Rongrong had already summoned her Glazed Sword. As the Ethereal Sword Art was unleashed, a swift and piercing sword qi shot out, striking before the red-haired catwoman could even close in on Zhu Zhuqing, cleanly piercing through her shoulder.
She had deliberately shown restraint.
If she'd punched a hole through the chest instead, it would've been far too ugly.
"How is this possible?!"The red-haired catwoman was completely stunned. She turned her head in disbelief to look at Ning Rongrong."Aren't you an auxiliary-type Soul Master?!"
Ning Rongrong proudly twirled her sword, drawing a dazzling arc in the air."Who says an auxiliary-type Soul Master can't fight?"
The red-haired catwoman fell momentarily speechless.
If auxiliary-type Soul Masters could fight like this… then what exactly counted as auxiliary anymore?
Blood flowed endlessly from her shoulder, and her teammate's face had already turned deathly pale. Letting out a sigh, the red-haired catwoman said,"We lost."
The battle had begun fast—and ended even faster.
In less than five breaths, the fight was already over.
On the spectator stands, those who had been cheering for the Cat-and-Mouse Duo instantly fell silent.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a smile after securing an easy victory.
The Cat-and-Mouse Duo had simply run into bad luck. Against these two, speed—normally their greatest advantage—meant nothing.
With Zhu Zhuqing drawing all their attention head-on, their defeat had been inevitable.
After winning, Zhu Zhuqing didn't leave immediately. Instead, she took out a small clay bottle and handed it to the red-haired catwoman.
"There's some healing powder inside. It should help your injuries recover quickly and won't affect your battles over the next couple of days."
The red-haired catwoman looked at her in surprise."We've fought many people in the Soto Grand Soul Arena. You're the first to give us healing medicine."
Zhu Zhuqing merely smiled faintly and said nothing more, walking off the arena together with Ning Rongrong.
The healing medicine naturally came from Xiao Yan.
Up in the stands, Xiao Yan rubbed his nose.
No helping it—fighting against two people running blatant cheats like Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, getting injured was basically guaranteed.
And they were rarely minor injuries. Without at least a month of recovery, most opponents wouldn't be back on their feet.
For Soul Masters competing in the Soto Grand Soul Arena, a month was practically a pile of glittering gold soul coins slipping away.
Whipping up some high-grade recovery powder was nothing more than a casual effort for him.
With the host's announcement, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's duo claimed their first victory in a two-on-two Soul Battle.
Only then did the audience erupt into cheers once more.
Although the match had been extremely short, Zhu Zhuqing's eerie speed and bizarre techniques, combined with the shocking fact that a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master like Ning Rongrong had displayed such terrifying offensive power, left the crowd thoroughly dazzled.
For outsiders watching the excitement, it was simple—Flashy. Brutal. Done.
Xiao Yan, however, felt that this kind of battle, while useful, didn't offer much improvement for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
He couldn't even find opponents with a decent two-yellow-one-purple soul ring setup. The competition was simply too weak.
"Let's see how the team battle goes," Xiao Yan thought to himself.
This—that—was the real training trump card he had prepared for Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran.
Two-on-two was nothing more than an appetizer.
Three-on-seven?Now that was a real challenge.
He and Little Xue would just sit back and cheer.
After waiting more than ten minutes, Xiao Yan's group finally encountered their first team opponent—
The Berserk Team.
"Kid, if I were you, I'd fight a little, then concede early."
Just as they were about to leave the resting room, Xiao Yan heard the voice of a middle-aged man.
Looking up, he saw a man in his forties. Judging by his attire, he was a staff member of the arena.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly."Are they really that strong?"
"Strong? That's an understatement."Director Ao replied appreciatively."Every member of the Berserk Team is above level thirty-five. They've only been registered here for seven days, yet they've already achieved seven consecutive victories at the Soul Elder level.
"If they reach ten wins, they'll advance directly to Bronze Soul Fighters. With their strength, even among level-thirty teams in the Bronze tier, they'd be top-tier."
Xiao Yan was secretly ecstatic.
This—this was exactly the kind of opponent he'd been looking for.
Director Ao, naturally unaware of the chaos brewing in Xiao Yan's mind, continued,"As far as I know, one member of your Blue Silver Team has only just become a Soul Master. If you fight the Berserk Team head-on, it'll be either death or severe injury."
"Thank you for the warning, senior."Xiao Yan nodded politely. For someone they'd just met to offer such advice was rare.
After giving his warning to the rookie team leader, Director Ao turned and left.
The team battle arena was far larger than the one-on-one or two-on-two stages, with a diameter of forty meters.
The surrounding spectator stands were also twice as large—and already completely full.
There were faint bloodstains on the arena floor, clearly left behind by previous team battles.
The moment the Berserk Team stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted into frenzy. Thunderous cheers filled the arena.
"Rip them apart!""Kill them!"
Shouts like these not only created pressure—but also sent adrenaline surging.
What surprised Xiao Yan was that the host on stage… was the same middle-aged man who had advised them to concede earlier.
"The fourth team battle of the day—Berserk Team versus Blue Silver Team!""For the Berserk Team, I believe no further introduction is needed. They've already secured seven consecutive victories."
"Now, let's take a look at the team on the opposite side. This team completed their registration today. This is also their very first team battle."
"Unfortunately for them, they've run straight into the Berserk Team."
"They are—the Blue Silver Team!"
