Chapter 143: Learning to Meow Together

"Just watch!" Qin Jian said with a smile on his lips.

Seeing Ma Hongjun's disbelieving expression, Tang San couldn't help but explain: "Xiao Wu's soul skill is somewhat afraid of Power Attack System Spirit Masters, but that's only if the opponent's strength far exceeds hers. At the same level, a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master in front of her will only be..."

Before he could finish his sentence, an excited Xiao Wu had already jumped onto the stage.

"Xiao Wu, you are not allowed to use Charm," Qin Jian suddenly called out at this moment.

Xiao Wu waved her hand and said, "Got it, I'll remember our agreement."

Because Qin Jian didn't like her using Charm, he had just made an agreement with her that unless it was absolutely necessary, Xiao Wu would not use the Charm skill.

The result was naturally as Qin Jian and Tang San expected; Xiao Wu used her high heels to break the defense directly, and the way she kicked down made the audience feel the pain just watching.

"Eh? Eh? Eh? What is that under her skirt?"

Ma Hongjun suddenly shouted unhappily: "Is she being that careful? My only hobby every night is now gone!"

"Pangzi, what are you talking about?" Dai Mubai asked.

Ma Hongjun pointed at Xiao Wu and said indignantly: "Look at her! She's actually wearing shorts under her skirt!"

Dai Mubai: "......"

Tang San naturally heard their conversation as well, and couldn't help but look at Qin Jian with a very strange expression: "Is this what you called the greatest invention of the century?"

Qin Jian nodded with a smile.

Xiao Wu fought this battle very smoothly; breaking the defense, launching into the air, Lion Barrage, taking them out in one wave—it didn't even take three minutes!

"She's actually this powerful!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed.

The pace of the competition was fast. After Xiao Wu came down, Ma Hongjun also went up for a match and won with difficulty.

But Qin Jian didn't get to wait for his first battle; instead, a two-on-two match came first.

"Next is the fifth two-on-two match, Sword Cat Combination versus Speed Combination!"

Under the shouts of the gold-medal announcer, the entire Soul Fighting Arena was in an uproar.

Qin Jian and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other and walked toward the entrance passage together.

Their opponents were a man and a woman, both looking to be eighteen or nineteen years old.

"We actually ran into a combination that's competing for the first time. Looks like our luck is pretty good tonight!"

The girl opposite licked her lips, her gaze toward Qin Jian and the other as if she were looking at prey.

Hum hum...

She and the young man beside her activated their martial souls. In an instant, identical leopard martial souls possessed them; they were clearly two Agility Attack System Spirit Masters.

The difference was that two yellow soul rings appeared on the girl, while the young man had two yellow and one purple soul ring; it looked like they were specifically matched opponents.

"Sister Li, standard tactics!"

The young man gave a loud shout, his whole body turning into clusters of phantoms, charging left and right as he attacked toward Qin Jian.

"Yes, big brother."

The girl did not hesitate and also turned into a high-speed figure, charging toward Zhuqing.

By this time, Zhuqing had already undergone Martial Soul Possession and met the attack head-on.

As for Qin Jian, it was his standard operation: one yellow and two purple soul rings blinded the audience's eyes.

"Two thousand-year soul rings? Impressive! But two-on-two isn't about individual strength; it's about coordination!"

The young man revealed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to attack Qin Jian, he suddenly turned, actually grabbing the girl's hands in mid-air and swinging with the momentum.

"Beautiful! The Speed Combination has used their signature move again, swapping positions at high speed during combat. Now that both sides are Great Soul Masters facing a Soul Elder, will it end as quickly as before?"

The host's voice was very passionate, easily stirring up the emotions of all the audience members.

"Speed! Speed! Speed!"

The Speed Combination clearly had quite a bit of popularity; many audience members were shouting their combination name.

"Swapping opponents, trying to eliminate Zhuqing first?"

Qin Jian curled his lips: "Nice tactic, but unfortunately, I am... a long-range attacker."

Swish!

The next moment, the Martial Soul Sword appeared in his hand. Qin Jian held the sword and leaped into the air, slashing out over a dozen Sword Qi in an instant, shooting off in two directions.

"I originally wanted to let Zhuqing get some experience, but since you're playing like this, there's no other way."

Seeing several streaks of Sword Qi coming at them, the young man and the girl were both startled and had to stop their attack movements to intercept the Sword Qi blasts.

"First Soul Skill, Nether Thrust!"

At this moment, Zhuqing did not stop. She accelerated in an instant, not dealing with the young Soul Elder, but appearing beside the girl, a cat claw following the Sword Qi as she slashed across.

"Swish!"

The opponent's attack was interrupted and they were in an awkward position; being thrust by Zhuqing, she was struck directly and flew backward, only to be caught by the young man behind her.

This sequence of events was so fast that the audience cheered, calling it spectacular.

"Underestimated them! Sister Li, use the ultimate move!"

Having failed the first round, the young man did not hesitate and directly added his purple soul ring: "Leopard Shadow Absolute Kill!"

And the girl actually jumped onto the young man at this moment. The next instant, the two of them turned into several leopard shadows that overlapped, no longer targeting Zhuqing, but instead charging toward Qin Jian.

"Agility Attack System Spirit Masters can't catch this move of ours, we can only deal with you!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Countless leopard shadows surrounded Qin Jian, erupting with dense attacks at extreme speed.

Qin Jian was in the center, and since he didn't excel in speed, he couldn't dodge in time and was forced into a passive defense.

He brandished his Martial Soul Sword, sending out streaks of Sword Qi, but he couldn't lock onto the opponent at all, and they all ended up hitting empty air.

"This is also the signature move of the Speed Combination that we often see! I don't know how many combinations have been defeated by their unparalleled speed. So, can our Sword Cat Combination block it?" the host provided commentary in time.

"Nether Thrust, Nether Hundred Claws!"

Seeing Qin Jian fall into a siege, Zhu Zhuqing decisively rushed up with the same extreme speed; for a moment, only cat shadows and leopard shadows could be seen intertwining on the field, with various cold glints of sharp claws flashing.

"Oh! The Sword Cat Combination also has an Agility Attack System Soul Master, and the cat's speed is absolutely no slower than the leopard's!"

The host held the microphone and began to liven up the atmosphere: "Let us cheer for her together, let's meow like a cat together, meow meow meow!"

This inexplicable commentary almost caused Qin Jian on the stage to lose focus, and the uniform meowing sounds echoing all around also almost caused Zhu Zhuqing to perform poorly.

"Good opportunity!"

However, the more experienced Speed Combination seized this momentary lapse of theirs; the two suddenly separated, the young girl continued to besiege Qin Jian, while that Soul Elder youth left the encirclement and went directly head-to-head with Zhu Zhuqing.

"Ding ding ding..."

Under the speed bonus, the two erupted into a fierce duel, but due to the gap in soul power, Zhu Zhuqing fell into a disadvantage in an instant.

Qin Jian immediately frowned; he no longer parried in a leisurely manner, but finally stepped forward, suddenly approached the young girl, and looked over with pink Sword Qi flashing in his eyes.

"Facing me alone and getting this close, if I don't stun you for three seconds, then I'm a fool..."
