Chapter 284: The Interesting Hu Liena

"Qin Jian! Even if you can use Ring Fusion, you can't be this arrogant!"

"That's right, that's right! Our Star Luo Royal Team isn't a pushover either!"

"..."

The Star Luo team was in an uproar; they had all seen Qin Jian when they were surrounding and killing Dai Weisi, and they knew his talent was outstanding and not to be underestimated.

But to say he could defeat them with just four people, they still didn't believe it.

"You still haven't realized the gap between you and me. My only opponent right now is the Spirit Hall Team."

Qin Jian waved his hand to let Zhu Zhuqing step back and walked forward alone: "Actually, I wanted to save you some face by using four people, since we cooperated amicably back then, but if you don't want it, then don't blame me..."

"I can crush you all by myself," he said indifferently.

The entire arena was in an uproar.

"Hum!"

But Qin Jian ignored those messy voices; he started off with a Sword of Original Heart to boost all his attributes.

"Third Soul Skill, Ice Heart Snow Sword!"

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuyue had just prepared to unleash their soul skills when they were frozen by the incoming Ice and Snow.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Nether Extreme Sword!"

His body turned into a traceless shadow, holding his martial soul sword.

At this moment, Qin Jian could already output the power of his Fourth Soul Skill as he pleased, no longer fighting to the death like at the beginning.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."

By the time Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuyue broke through the Ice Seal, all five members of the Star Luo Royal Team had been knocked off the arena, taking no more than a few seconds.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Nether White Tiger!"

Looking at the giant tiger of soul power that appeared rapidly before him, Qin Jian was speechless: "How can you use this Martial Soul Fusion Skill with anyone? Are the martial souls of your two families related?"

Although he had an indifferent expression, the spectators on the sidelines didn't know his true confidence.

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill used by two level-40 Soul Ancestors—even Qin Jian can't block that by himself, right?" Huo Wushuang said with his arms crossed.

"Brother, haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Huo Wu curled her lips and said: "Everyone who looks down on him ends up getting their face slapped."

"I'm just stating a common fact; after all, that Martial Soul Fusion Skill is clearly comparable to a Soul Emperor," Huo Wushuang said, rolling his eyes.

But before he could finish his comment, there was a new change on the field.

The soul rings on Qin Jian's body suddenly fused, and his martial soul transformed into a giant flaming sword, burning fiercely.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Blazing Sun Sword!"

The wind and clouds swirled above the arena as a giant flaming sword, like a scorching sun, shot into the sky and then slashed down fiercely!

"Boom! ——"

The sound of the collision was deafening, and for a moment, everyone was silent.

Because under the giant flaming sword, the Nether White Tiger only held on for an instant before being shattered by the explosive power attached to the giant sword; the two people flew out like kites with broken strings and fell off the arena.

Inside and outside the arena, there was complete silence.

"Alright, done and finished."

Ten minutes of talking, twenty seconds of fighting.

Qin Jian stretched and nonchalantly signaled for the Shrek Team to walk off the stage.

Only then did the referee's voice spread out: "Star Luo Royal Academy is defeated, Shrek Academy advances!"

The match ended in dead silence; everyone needed time to digest everything they had seen and re-evaluate Qin Jian's strength.

Even the Heaven Dou Empire team, who had seen Qin Jian defeat fourteen people in a row, hadn't expected his fully unleashed Fifth Soul Skill to be strong enough to cross ranks; it could only be said that he had been exhausted at the time and hadn't truly unleashed the full power of his Fifth Soul Skill.

And this time was a true, all-out attack.

The Star Luo Royal Team's defeat in 20 seconds was what truly made everyone see Qin Jian's strength clearly... instead of focusing on the messy relationships between men and women.

The next match was equally eye-catching, as the Spirit Hall Team and the Heaven Dou Imperial Team, two seeded teams, collided.

Of course, although the battle process wasn't as eye-catching as Qin Jian's, it still shocked everyone.

Because the Spirit Hall Team easily resolved the battle relying solely on the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Hu Liena and Xie Yue.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the final roar, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng spat blood and were blasted out of the competition arena.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill dissipated, turning back into Hu Liena and Xie Yue.

Slowly putting away the Moon Blade in his hand, Xie Yue's gaze drifted directly toward the Shrek Academy team, and he looked only at Qin Jian.

"Qin Jian, daring to provoke my sister, you're dead."

As he spoke, he drew his hand across his throat in a murderous gesture.

Qin Jian's gaze, however, drifted to Hu Liena beside him, and he said with a look of pity: "Having such a chuunibyou brother, it's really hard on you."

A large "#" symbol appeared on Xie Yue's forehead.

Hu Liena covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyebrows curved like a little fox.

Yan, standing behind the two, looked as if he had bitten into a whole lemon.

As the three walked over, everyone was silent as cicadas in winter.

"Qin Jian, I hope we meet in the finals. When that time comes, let's have a proper contest of Charm and see who falls in love first."

As Hu Liena passed by Qin Jian, she reached out her hand, wanting to lift Qin Jian's chin.

But Qin Jian suddenly stepped forward, grabbed her wrist with his left hand, and lifted her chin with his right, his face expressionless: "This kind of action is better left to men."

Before Xie Yue and Yan could react, Hu Liena spun away from Qin Jian's hand with light steps.

"Then wait until you've conquered me before saying that..."

A few strands of hair brushed past, bringing with them a faint, delicate fragrance.

Watching the back of her swaying waist as she left, for some reason, Qin Jian suddenly wanted to laugh: "This Hu Liena is somewhat interesting..."

"What's so interesting?"

Xiao Wu's chilly voice suddenly came from behind.

The smile on Qin Jian's face vanished, and he said with a straight face: "Just now, it could be seen that she is extremely confident in her Charm and has no worries about her own strength, which is why she can ignore the gazes of those around her and do these things; that Xie Yue and Yan are the same."

He turned around and said earnestly to everyone: "These three people will be our formidable enemies; the finals cannot rely on me alone. At most, I can deal with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill by myself."

Hearing him begin to analyze the match situation, the others immediately cast the matter from just now to the back of their minds.

Tang San said eagerly: "How about I deal with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

"No, having one's Spider Leg cut off is very painful..."

Qin Jian said something Tang San did not quite understand, then said: "Your task is not them; I leave the final match to you to command. You six are responsible for defeating the other five members of the Spirit Hall. Do not lower your guard; that Yan is a Soul King."

Tang San and the others nodded solemnly.

The subsequent fourth round of the competition was calm and uneventful; with Qin Jian there, whether it was the Tianshui Team or the Shrek Team, both won their victories with ease.

The next day was the time for the grand finals.

Moonlit night.

Qin Jian sat alone on the hotel rooftop, silently gazing at the moon.

"Brother, why are you sitting here all by yourself?"

Qin Jian turned his head, but only heard the voice without seeing a person.

"I'm here, Brother!"

A ball of white light jumped into his line of sight. Qin Jian looked down and was immediately left speechless: "This is Wuhun City; aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

He reached out his hand, scooped the little Rabbit hopping around at his feet into his arms, and skillfully stroked her soft fur.

"With Brother's Lovesick Heartbroken Red, even a Title Douluo can't discover me!"

The little Rabbit lay comfortably in Qin Jian's arms and said with great enjoyment: "I miss the days in the Star Dou Great Forest so much; there weren't so many people, only Brother..."
