Chapter 50

On the Dou Hun Tai, two teams eye each other tigerishly; Gu Xuan, who has already replaced Yu Tianheng as team captain, faces the mad rhino without yielding in the slightest.

The mad rhino's soul power may be as high as level forty, but no matter how strong he is, he cannot possibly exceed Feng Xiao Tian, right? Feng Xiao Tian has already become Gu Xuan's defeated subordinate; the mad rhino will be no exception.

After all, aside from ability or martial soul restraint, Gu Xuan is invincible below Soul Ancestor level; of course, this is a team match, and it's not a fight between Gu Xuan and the Mad Rhino, so it's still uncertain who will win.

Today's two teams are both the ace teams within our Grand Soul Battle Arena's Silver Soul Battle Team; each team only needs one more victory to successfully advance to the Gold Soul Battle Team. Will the Royal Battle Team win and write a splendid chapter of thirty-two consecutive victories, or will the Mad Rhino Battle Team triumph and continue the name of the ace team? Let's wait and see.

The host's voice sounded as scheduled, triggering a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience. They had all placed heavy bets tonight; this is a chance to get rich overnight, so even if they had no opportunity to go on stage and compete, they would still exert all their strength to cheer for the team they bet on.

Because they believe this gives them some strength, and only this way will they feel a sense of participation, and only this way can they truly make a big profit or get rich overnight after the opposing side wins.

Please have both sides release their martial souls! the host's voice sounded again.

Brothers, release your martial souls! Gu Xuan shouted loudly; three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—rose consecutively from his body, and his hands transformed into silver-white bone claws, flashing with sharp cold light.

The other members of the Royal Battle Team likewise released their martial souls in an instant; Yu Tianheng and Gu Xuan were on the same front line, both in the team's first line, followed by the brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mei, and then Du Gu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Aosuoluo was not in the center of the battle formation, but at the far side, so he could launch a surprise attack on the enemy at any time.

The Mad Rhino Battle Team's formation is similar to that of the Royal Battle Team, albeit slightly different: the team captain Mad Rhino and two defense-system Battle Soul Lords are in the front line, two attack-system members in the second line, and finally the support-system Soul Masters, with the agility-attack system Soul Master also at the far side.

The members of the Mad Rhino Battle Team also all have the optimal two-yellow-one-purple Soul Ring configuration, which shows that their strength is not lacking.

After both sides had released their martial souls, the host's voice sounded again: "The match...... begins!"

As the host's voice fell, Gu Xuan and Yu Tianheng ran side by side toward the Mad Rhino Battle Team; the two yellow Soul Rings on Gu Xuan's body instantly lit up, and Yu Tianheng also used his first soul skill.

Each used an amplifying soul skill, instantly greatly increasing their strength.

Moreover, not only that, but as they rushed out, Du Gu Yan, positioned at the rear of the team, had already released her three soul skills a step ahead of them—indeed, three soul skills.

Du Gu Yan's first soul skill, Emerald Scale Red Poison, if absorbed by teammates, can amplify their attack and speed by thirty percent; her second soul skill, Emerald Scale Blue Poison, can eliminate pain for teammates while boosting their defense by fifty percent.

Of course, the prerequisite is that anyone inhaling the poison mist must have previously taken Du Gu Yan's secret medicinal pill; that is the key to becoming a teammate, not merely Du Gu Yan considering you a teammate makes you one.

All members of the Royal Battle Team had already taken it before the match began, so they can completely disregard Du Gu Yan's poison.

This is also why Du Gu Yan uses her third soul skill right at the start; as long as her Emerald Scale Purple Poison covers the entire arena, the Mad Rhino Battle Team's strength will decrease by a geometric multiple, and if they don't timely mitigate the damage, they could all face mortal danger.

After all, Du Gu Yan's soul power has reached rank thirty-eight; with the power of her Emerald Scale Purple Poison, even a Soul Ancestor would need to be cautious, let alone a group of Soul Masters.

As Gu Xuan and Yu Tianheng charged forward, the Mad Rhino Battle Team's captain Mad Rhino and two defense-system Soul Masters also directly went to meet them.

What surprised Gu Xuan was that he had originally intended to directly face the rank-forty Mad Rhino, but instead two defense-system Soul Masters came forward; their martial souls were identical, both a shield named Iron Armor Shield, a pure defense-system martial soul with exceptionally strong defensive power.

Moreover, both of their soul powers have reached rank thirty-six, so even if Gu Xuan faced them, it would be difficult to defeat them quickly.

Yu Tianheng was also matched against Mad Rhino; although his soul power had reached rank thirty-eight and his martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, acclaimed as the number one beast martial soul under heaven, Mad Rhino's soul power had reached rank forty, and his Soul Ring configuration is the standard two-yellow-one-purple. Therefore, even though Yu Tianheng would not be easily defeated by Mad Rhino, he is still in great distress, because Mad Rhino's martial soul is the Violent Rhino, an attack-system martial soul with exceptionally strong offensive power.

Mad Rhino launched a full-force fierce attack right at the start, leaving Yu Tianheng only able to passively block.

This is also Mad Rhino's tactic; he had watched Gu Xuan's battle against Feng Xiao Tian in that Soul Battle, and at the time he had bet on Feng Xiao Tian to win. After all, it was rank forty versus rank thirty-three, and even if Gu Xuan were a genius, his chances of victory were not great, yet the final result was that he lost his ten thousand gold soul coins without any return.

It was then that he fully understood how terrifying Gu Xuan, this monster, is; compared to rank thirty-eight, with the martial soul Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Yu Tianheng is obviously less difficult to deal with than the thirty-three-ranked Gu Xuan.

Because before Feng Xiao Tian was defeated by Gu Xuan, he had been defeated by Feng Xiao Tian in a single Soul Battle; Feng Xiao Tian could defeat him, and Gu Xuan defeated Feng Xiao Tian, making his strength obviously formidable.

That is why he will proactively face Yu Tianheng, and right from the start he will go all out, so he can quickly settle Yu Tianheng and then turn to surround Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan is formidable, but the martial souls of Tie Hammer and Tie Board are pure defense-system martial souls; although they have little attack ability, their defensive power is exceptionally outstanding, and he does not believe Gu Xuan can defeat Tie Hammer and Tie Board in a short time.

However, he hadn't expected that Yu Tianheng, although his soul power is two ranks lower than his, is not lacking in strength at all; he wants to quickly take down Yu Tianheng, but that seems unlikely.

Mad Rhino clicked his tongue inwardly: "Indeed, it lives up to being the number one beast martial soul under heaven!"

The battle between the two sides was about to break out, and Du Gu Yan's poison quickly spread toward the Mad Rhino Battle Team; within a minute, the entire territory of the Mad Rhino Battle Team would be enveloped in poison mist.

However, the Mad Rhino team is not at all worried about this, because their squad includes two support-system Soul Masters, and the one fielded this time is Long Jiao Jiao, who can both support and control; Long Jiao Jiao is a member of the noble Long family of Heavenly Battle City, and since she rarely participates in Soul Battles, her soul skills and abilities have not been fully exposed.

This is also why Long Jiao Jiao's data only lists support and control, with no other description.

After Du Gu Yan used her soul skill, Long Jiao Jiao also used her own soul skill; her martial soul is the Storm Blossom, a variant martial soul capable of both support and control.

Only seen, Long Jiao Jiao's two yellow Soul Rings lit up, and under the effect of her first soul skill, several streams of light flew toward her teammates.

Then came the effect of her second soul skill: she held the Storm Blossom, which under the second soul skill's effect met the storm surge; instantly, the blossoms of the Storm Blossom reached a diameter of two meters, and then a strong gale burst forth from the blossoms, instantly slowing the spread of Du Gu Yan's poison mist and even blowing it back toward the Royal Battle Team.

"First soul skill: Extreme Speed Flow Light!"

After using the soul skill, it amplifies teammates' speed by thirty percent.

"Second soul skill: Airflow Gale!"

After releasing the soul skill, the Storm Blossom blows out a strong gale, limiting opponents' speed and agility, even capable of blowing them into the sky, with excellent control ability.

Moreover, those who have been amplified by her first soul skill are completely unaffected by her second soul skill; these two soul skills of hers can indeed be considered a very perfect combination.

The match had just begun; the situation originally favoring the Royal Battle Team changed after Long Jiao Jiao used her soul skill.

For a moment, the spectators in the stands shouted even more enthusiastically, contributing their modest effort to support the team they had bet on! ps: Correct the typo later.
