"Find out who they are!" a voice hissed from the shadows. "I've seen countless beauties, but never so many perfect ones at once!"
"Tch, every single one's a masterpiece. Investigate their backgrounds—if they've got no powerful backing..."
"Heh, such fine specimens... Looks like this Earl will soon have a few new concubines~."

Within less than fifteen minutes, Yuan Longxuan had completed all registration formalities for the Tianshui team's entry into the Great Soul Arena.
Their roster read as follows:
Shui Bing'er — Ice Phoenix
Wu Ling — Light-Dark Peacock
Zhu Zhuqing — Nether Spirit Cat
Zhu Zhuyun — Phantom Cat
Ning Rongrong — Seven Treasure Glazed Tile
Shui Yue'er — Azure Ice Dolphin
Xue Wu — Polar Ice Spirit
Yu Hairou — Frost Lance
Shen Liuyu — Flowing Frost
The Tianshui Battle Team now consisted of nine members, with two serving as reserves during the seven-member team matches.
In the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena, inside the luxurious Earth-Tier Room No. 2, the girls of the Tianshui team sat before the wide floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down at the massive square arena below.
The air inside the arena was electric....anticipation thick, excitement rising with every passing breath.
The stars of the match were two girls, both stunning in appearance and extraordinary in bearing.
"Who would've thought that Zhuqing's first opponent would be none other than Meng Yiran, the genius girl from the Exotic Beast Academy?"
"Hehe~ but our Zhuqing is only one spirit ring away from becoming a Spirit Master. Her chances of winning are quite high!"
Shui Bing'er and the others chattered animatedly, their voices full of curiosity and expectation.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuyun reclined lazily in Yuan Longxuan's embrace, her expression one of contented peace.
Not to be outdone, Xue Wu shot them a look and....without hesitation.....lay down on his other side, a proud little smile on her lips as if declaring ownership.
The other girls instantly felt their vinegar jars tip over in their hearts.
Shui Yue'er: "Ugh! That shameless Xue Wu got ahead of us!....
Shen Liuyu: "Brother Yuan belongs to everyone! Xue Wu, move aside already!"
Shui Bing'er: "Xue Wu, I'm the team captain.
As your vice-captain, you're ordered to make room for me!"
Wu Ling: "Master, Wu Ling wants cuddles with Grandmaster too~!"
Xiao Wu: "Be good, my disciple. A few more years, and Master will take you to team up together~."
In the vast arena below, Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly at one end of the platform.
Her tall, lithe figure exuded elegance and danger alike; the black battle suit she wore hugged every perfect curve of her body, outlining her grace and power.
Her long, waterfall-like black hair fell freely down her back, a few strands brushing against the sleek mask of deep violet that covered half her face.
Only her eyes—cold, calm, and determined—were visible beneath it.
She looked every bit the part of a silent predator, a shadowy black cat ready to strike at any moment.
Inside, her mind was still and focused—no distractions, no doubts.
This battle... I must give everything I have. I'll make Brother Yuan see how much I've grown.
Her gaze sharpened with resolve.
Across from her stood Meng Yiran, draped in a flowing dark-green dress that rippled like a serpent's scales under the wind.
In her hand rested her spirit weapon....the Serpent Staff, its surface engraved with intricate snake patterns that radiated a mysterious, dangerous aura.
Her eyes gleamed with confidence and pride. Though she hadn't heard much about Zhu Zhuqing, she didn't believe this unknown girl could surpass her.
Yet deep down, a faint sense of caution stirred in her heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
The referee's booming voice rose above the roar of the crowd.
"Welcome to the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena! Today's main event.....two dazzling beauties, face to face in a thrilling duel!"
The audience's cheers erupted instantly.
"On my left—our newly registered beauty challenger! Possessor of twenty-nine ranks of spirit power—the Nether Spirit Cat!"
"On my right—our five-match winning champion! The crowd's beloved Emerald Serpent Staff user—Meng Yiran!"
"Now, let's see what kind of sparks will fly between these two! Let the battle begin!"
The crowd went wild.
They loved spirit duels.....but more than that, they adored watching beautiful girls clash in fierce combat.
"Battle—start!"
With that single shout, the fight began.
Meng Yiran moved first. Her serpent staff whipped forward as she unleashed her first skill.
"First Soul Skill — Serpent Blade!"
A flash of green light burst forth, condensing into a razor-sharp energy slash that shot toward Zhu Zhuqing like a streak of lightning.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes narrowed.
Her body blurred, vanishing in a streak of shadow as she sidestepped the attack with breathtaking agility.
She moved like a ghostly cat gliding through the dark—silent, swift, untouchable.
Her heart remained perfectly calm as she analyzed the strike.
Fast, but not fast enough to threaten me.
A plan began to form in her mind.
Meng Yiran frowned slightly at her missed hit but showed no frustration. Instead, her second spirit ring shone brightly.
"Second Soul Skill — Serpent Form!"
Her body grew fluid and flexible, moving with serpentine grace as a spectral snake tail manifested behind her.
It coiled and twisted across the ground, cutting off Zhu Zhuqing's escape routes while closing the distance with terrifying speed.
"Let's see how you dodge this!" Meng Yiran smirked.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned serious.
She leaped backward lightly to create space, then thrust her hands forward.
"First Soul Skill — Nether Thrust!"
Her figure vanished again, reappearing in a burst of speed that sliced through the air like a dark lightning bolt.
Meng Yiran's eyes widened. Zhu Zhuqing had already broke
en through her serpent tail's reach!
Her speed—unbelievably fast!
Panicked, Meng Yiran raised her staff defensively, but before she could fully real.
