Chapter 80: Black Robe Emperor's Soul Battle

Self-Created Soul Technique!

A hint of gloom flashed in Teacher Qin's eyes.

The Black Robe Battle Team, in team battles, rarely even reveals their martial soul.

If it weren't for the city lord joining the wager and deliberately obtaining the Black Robe Battle Team's registration data from inside the Grand Battle Soul Arena,

today they don't even know what martial soul the Black Robe Battle Team members have!

Especially Heibao Yihau, who changed the Battle Soul Badge and cleared the points before registering for the team battle.

Otherwise, from registration onward, the Black Robe Battle Team would be a Silver Battle Soul!

Even up to now, based on points, they would have already become a Gold Battle Soul!

Looking at his somewhat careless students, Teacher Qin said nothing, merely giving them a cold sweep of his gaze.

Even a setback is fine.

When growth is too smooth, it's more easily broken.

Just like some of his former classmates at the academy.

Due to excessive arrogance, their later soul power progression became extremely slow, fading into the masses.

Yu Tianheng noticed the change in Teacher Qin's expression, waved his hand repeatedly from behind, telling Du Gu Yan not to speak up.

Teacher Qin, full name Qin Ming.

At only thirty‑four this year, he broke through to Level 60 at the start of the year, becoming a Soul Emperor!

Even in the records of the Spirit Hall, he is the second youngest Soul Emperor in history.

All members of the Imperial Battle Team are unruly, yet they only obey him.

Du Gu Yan stuck out his tongue and fell silent.

Qin Ming said calmly, "No matter the strength, you only know after sparring. However, regardless of how this Soul Battle ends, no one may place a killer, and no one may even injure or cripple the opponent. Understand?"

"Yan, if they fall victim to your poison, when the Soul Battle ends, don't delay, detoxify immediately."

Du Gu Yan frowned, puzzled, "Teacher, don't you always say that in battle you must never hold back, you must go all out? The battlefield has no father‑son ties; showing mercy means you will be wounded yourself."

Qin Ming gave a helpless smile, "This time is different; when the Soul Battle ends, I will tell you. Let's go, time's up."

After speaking, he was the first to walk toward the outside of the VIP room.

As he walked, Qin Ming sighed quietly in his heart.

You may be geniuses, but there are always more brilliant ones.

I hope that after this battle, you will grasp some truths.

"……"

The central Main Battle Soul Arena of the Suo Tuo Great Soul Battle Arena.

It is not as large as the civilians watching from the Sub Battle Soul Arena imagined.

The entire Main Battle Soul Arena's area is only slightly larger than the other Sub Battle Soul Arenas.

The only difference is that here is extremely quiet, with no audience.

Because there are no Audience Seats or open‑air stands here.

Only sealed private boxes and crystal walls the size of walls, each showing the scene on only one side.

Behind these crystal walls hide mysterious high nobles.

The stakes here are enormous.

Even adding up all the Sub Arenas doesn't compare.

The Grand Battle Soul Arena, to prevent conflicts from gambling and to better invest Gold Soul Coins here, has put a lot of thought into it.

Hundreds of crystal boxes that are rarely vacant surround an especially massive Battle Soul Platform, its diameter reaching seventy meters.

Suddenly.

Above the Main Battle Soul Arena, very bright golden lights scattered from four sides converged toward the center of the Battle Soul Platform.

The dispersed lights gradually merged, like a huge spotlight casting a golden pillar that directly enveloped the entire Battle Soul Platform!

It turned out to be a set of light‑type Soul Guide Devices!

In the center of the Battle Soul Platform, the ground suddenly sank into a circular depression two meters in diameter.

Not long after, a dignified and beautiful lady stood in the circle and rose slowly.

She appeared eighteen or nineteen, wearing a white dress, brown hair draped behind her, holding an amplifying Soul Guide Device, with a gentle smile on her face.

"It's an honor to see all the distinguished guests again." After the circular platform rose into place, she turned once and waved toward the crystal walls surrounding the stands.

"Hosting the team Soul Battle tournament on the Main Battle Soul Arena for all distinguished guests is Dou Dou's honor; today is a main event, and we have only arranged this one Soul Battle for tonight."

"Both sides, though only Soul Elders, have already obtained the Silver Battle Soul Badge!"

"……"

Dou Dou skillfully began introducing the lineups of both sides; her voice, transmitted through a Soul Guide Device, sounded graceful yet full of vigor.

Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon, White Tiger, Evil Phoenix, Xuanwu, each top‑tier martial soul was announced.

Dou Dou's voice rose even higher, as if to emphasize how remarkable the two sides are, and how fierce and spectacular this match will be.

"Next, please have the Soul Masters of both sides take the stage. Dou Dou is also a Soul Elder; I truly want to see what kind of splendid battle these Soul Masters of the same rank will present."

As she spoke, white light surged from the host Dou Dou; a strand of white appeared among her brown hair, and behind her, a pair of pure white wings silently unfolded, with three Yellow Soul Rings appearing simultaneously.

As the third Soul Ring glittered, her wings fluttered lightly, and she rose into the air.

Her third ring is not a millennial one, yet it grants a rare flying ability; her martial soul is a cute animal symbolizing vacation and relaxation—a pigeon.

On both sides of the Battle Soul Platform, two doors quietly opened.

The team members of both sides entered simultaneously.

On the left, the Imperial Battle Team, with Yu Tianheng at the front and Du Gu Yan nestled beside him.

Next came the Shi family brothers of the Black Tortoise Turtle martial soul, followed by Ghost Leopard Osro and Wind‑bell Bird Yu Feng.

Finally, the mysterious Jiu Xin Haitang Ye Lingling.

The Black Robe Battle Team entered in order according to Ranking.

Xiao Xian, Dai Mubai, Tang San…

Everyone wore identical Black Robes and identical masks, exuding a restrained aura of grim lethality.

Then there was no formation; they lined up in a single file.

Yu Tianheng instinctively looked for the number one of the Black Robe Battle Team, who was also the captain.

But as he scanned, he was surprised to find that all the Soul Masters of the Black Robe Battle Team stared coldly at him.

Yu Tianheng's heart instantly grew stern, sensing something amiss.

The remaining Royal Battle members furrowed their brows, becoming dissatisfied.

The opposing Black Robe Battle Team, who hid their heads and tails and pretended to be mysterious, actually only looked at the captain; not a single person glanced at them.

Look down on us?

"All Soul Masters on both sides, please note: you have one minute to summon your martial souls. You may attack only after I announce the start…"

On the arena, all Soul Masters wore solemn expressions, and their soul power began to surge rapidly.

Below the arena, at the portal entrances where the two Soul Battle teams appeared, the leaders of both sides stood respectively.

When the team members locked eyes, the leaders, as leaders, naturally looked at each other as well.

Fulangde's cunning eyes instantly pierced a hundred meters and landed on Qin Ming.

His complexion changed abruptly, and then he relaxed.

Zhao Wuji also looked over, his eyes widening instantly, a look of disbelief.

Master saw their expressions and asked in puzzlement, "Do you know each other?"

Fulangde and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance and chuckled.

"Confidential."

On the Battle Soul Platform, almost simultaneously, both sides released their martial souls, and thirteen powerful soul power surges shot skyward.

Dou Dou in the sky startled, and quickly rose again toward the heavens.
