Chapter 175: Don't Let Her Eat Them All!
After entering the Soul Fighting Arena, apart from Ning Rongrong and Oscar, the other five people first conducted one-on-one soul fights separately, and then proceeded to two-on-two soul fights.
The first to take the stage were Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong; Qin Jian, having no need to hold back, used the minimum amount of soul power to finish off two Power Attack System Soul Elders.
The second pair to take the stage were Tang San and Oscar; their combination was also well-coordinated, and they achieved victory with ease.
Afterwards, Qin Jian fought alongside Xiao Wu to defeat a pair of opponents, and Tang San also fought a match with Ma Hongjun.
Finally, it was Qin Jian and Zhu Zhuqing; they were rather unlucky, encountering an Agility Attack System combination where both had a soul power level of 39.
As they walked into the arena together, the host was holding a martial soul microphone to introduce their opponents: "Next, let us welcome the opponents of the Sword Cat Combination, the Cat Mouse Team, who have already achieved four consecutive victories in the two-on-two soul fights."
"Relying on their formidable strength, they have achieved unprecedented success in the Soul Elder level competitions. If they can defeat today's opponents, the Sword Cat Combination, they will complete a five-match winning streak."
The host's impassioned tone instantly ignited the enthusiasm of everyone: "Perhaps, the next time they appear at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, they will enter the Central Soul Fighting Zone; that is a tremendous honor for a soul fighter."
"Wowooo!"
Soon, amidst a burst of enthusiastic cheers and applause, the Cat Mouse Team stepped onto the Douhun Tai.
The two Spirit Masters who came up were one man and one woman.
The woman had a slender figure and looked to be in her twenties; her fiery red short hair was extremely eye-catching, her gaze was sharp, and the fingers of both hands were constantly rhythmically twitching.
"She should be the cat in this combination, right? It seems you feline-type martial souls all like to twitch your fingers," Qin Jian whispered with a smile.
"What, you don't like it?" Zhuqing shot him a cold glance.
Qin Jian was naturally not chilled by her: "How could that be? I like your little cat-like habits the most!"
Zhuqing had actually heard many such sweet nothings, but she still couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth lift every time.
Qin Jian's gaze shifted to the other person; that man was short and very fat, and his whole person looked like a big round ball—whether it was his head or his body, they were all round shapes.
"The only thing they have in common with Tom and Jerry is the height difference..." Qin Jian said speechlessly.
Zhuqing didn't understand, so she simply pretended not to hear.
When the Cat Mouse Team stepped onto the Douhun Tai and saw the masks on the faces of Qin Jian and his partner, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The thin cat girl gave a disdainful snort: "Hiding your heads and showing your tails, acting all mysterious."
"Oooo..."
As the soul fight was about to begin, the emotions of the audience around the soul fighting arena had been fully stirred up. In such a heated atmosphere, the host did not dare to delay and immediately announced the start of the soul fight.
As soon as his voice fell, the thin cat woman and the fat mouse man on the opposite side instantly activated Martial Soul Possession; a soul ring configuration of one white, one yellow, and one purple was already considered quite good for an ordinary Spirit Master, which was no wonder they could win four matches in a row.
"Hum hum hum!"
But when Qin Jian's yellow, purple, and purple soul rings appeared, it immediately caused a commotion among the audience on the sidelines.
Qin Jian had not competed in this sub-arena before, so the audience here was seeing his soul ring configuration for the first time, and he easily harvested another round of wide-eyed stares.
Both sides clashed simultaneously, and the intensity of the soul fight fully unfolded at this moment.
"Zhuqing, let's use our most soul-power-efficient tactic to save some energy for the team battle later," Qin Jian smiled.
Zhuqing nodded slightly.
This left the Cat Mouse Team, who had already used their First Soul Skill and Second Soul Skill simultaneously and were going all out from the start, feeling quite irritated.
"Arrogant guy! Tear them apart!"
The thin cat woman gave an angry shout and was the first to rush in front of Qin Jian, a pair of sharp claws swiping over.
Meanwhile, Zhuqing also met the fat mouse man, but what was a bit strange was that Qin Jian's martial soul sword was actually following by her side.
"Chi!"
The next moment they understood what was going on, because Qin Jian and his martial soul suddenly swapped positions, and the thin cat woman's sharp claws could only collide with the martial soul sword, emitting a harsh sound.
On the other side, the fat mouse man was simultaneously met with a pincer attack from Qin Jian and Zhuqing in this short span of time.
He panicked slightly, then gritted his teeth and lunged at Qin Jian: "I don't believe you can have any strength without your Spirit Tool in hand!"
"That will have to disappoint you; my martial soul returns much faster than your companion."
Qin Jian smiled slightly, and the next moment the martial soul flew over with a *whoosh*; he held the sword in his right hand and slashed down fiercely.
"Ding ding dang!"
The fat mouse man's claws were not as hard as the martial soul sword; this head-on collision made his palms ache, and on the other side, Zhuqing also followed up on Qin Jian's attack with her sharp claws.
In just a few short moments, the man had to block attacks from two people, becoming flustered and overwhelmed. Just as he was about to wait for his companion's rescue, he suddenly found himself grabbed by the back of his collar by Qin Jian.
"You... what are you doing..."
His question was answered the next moment, because Qin Jian had thrown his martial soul sword outside the arena at some point, and at this moment, they swapped positions, causing the two of them to appear in mid-air outside the arena!
"Goodbye!"
Qin Jian loosened his hand, and the fat mouse man fell down while flailing his arms and legs, while he himself swapped positions with his martial soul again and returned to the stage.
After all, the fat mouse man was not a flying-type Beast Spirit, so falling outside the arena like this meant he lost his qualification for the soul fight.
It turned out that the coordination between Qin Jian and Zhuqing over these few moments was never intended to win through a frontal battle, but rather for Zhuqing to attract the opponents' attention while Qin Jian seized the opportunity to get behind them, and then throw the opponent out through two rapid position swaps.
Seeing her companion defeated so quickly, the thin cat woman was also somewhat dumbfounded.
"How about not wasting your energy and just admitting defeat?"
Qin Jian and Zhuqing stood side by side opposite the woman, looking as if victory was already in their grasp.
"Don't even think about it!"
The woman gritted her teeth fiercely: "You still have to participate in the team battle, right? Then even if I lose, I will drain more of your soul power!"
She suddenly did something very strange, which was to suddenly toss a few thin, leaf-like things into her mouth.
"Can't let her eat them all!"
Seeing the woman take out a few more, Zhuqing's expression suddenly changed drastically, and she immediately launched her First Soul Skill, Nether Thrust, without hesitation, actually snatching a few pieces from the opponent's hand in the nick of time.
"What is this?"
Qin Jian followed along as soon as Zhuqing rushed out.
When the opponent counterattacked, he hugged Zhuqing's waist and swapped positions with his martial soul in an instant, escaping the range of the attack.
However, Zhu Zhuqing did not answer his question immediately; instead, her pair of cat eyes stared straight at the thin leaf in her hand... and the next moment, she was about to stuff it directly into her mouth!
Take a guess, what is this thin leaf? If you guess correctly, I will add an extra chapter~
