Chapter 111

But compared to the spectator seats, there is no doubt that the pressure Tang Xiaolei faces directly confronting Huo Yutong is the greatest.

Huo Yuetong again. Six blood-red soul rings (not a name)

Zhengtian Academy -> Zhengtian Academy? Or Upright Heaven Academy. We'll decide later. Huo Yuetong, Tang Wulin (Tang Wulin) from glossary. Also "Ah—" interjection not a name

Tang Xiaolei again. Huo Yuetong again. Fifth soul ring (not a name)

Normally, when facing an unknown opponent, Tang Xiaolei should first use his first soul skill to probe; after all, he differs from other soul masters in that he has far fewer attacks.

Yet now he did the opposite, directly using his strongest fifth soul skill, which is proof that he has lost his composure.

The arrow formed from Tang Xiaolei's strongest soul ring pierced the entire arena in an instant, twisting the very air along its path.

Huo Yutong didn't panic; a blue light flashed in her eyes, and she merely shifted her body slightly to dodge that astonishing strike.

"Boom!" sound effect, not a name

Tang Xiaolei again. Huo Yuetong? Not mentioned. Protective shield (not a name)

Although the protective barrier returned to normal in an instant, it had indeed existed, showing just how terrifying Tang Xiaolei's attack power was.

But what good is astonishing attack power if you can't hit the target? It's utterly useless!

Tang Xiaolei again. Huo Yuetong again. Spiritual interference (maybe a technique name? Could be considered a named technique? It's a generic term. Not a proper name)

Snow intent (maybe a technique)

However, he could no longer afford to think about that; Huo Yutong's calm yet oppressive petite figure now filled his entire field of vision.

Tang Xiaolei again. Huo Yuetong again

Finally, when the last yellow arrow was fired, Tang Xiaolei's soul power was completely exhausted, and he had utterly lost any means to resist Huo Yutong.

Huo Yutong slowly stepped before him; facing her petite self, the tall Tang Xiaolei instinctively stepped back, his face filled with fear.

There's no way not to be afraid; the oppressive presence this girl exudes is overwhelming, yet her eyes, which had turned ice‑blue at some point, also radiate a strange allure that locks his gaze.

Huo Yuetong again

As soon as those words were spoken, Tang Xiaolei's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Yeah, he lost, and lost utterly completely.

He has now exhausted all his soul power, while his opponent hasn't even moved a muscle—the gap is blatantly obvious.

He slowly rose to his feet and staggered off the stage.

Star Net Plaza. Also maybe "Star Net" from glossary

Tang Xiaolei again. Huo Yuetong? Not mentioned

Six-ring full red Soul Emperor. Soul Emperor is Soul Emperor from glossary. Also "Soul Emperor" appears

Huo Yuetong again

In fact, before the match even began, she hadn't expected to win the first round so easily.

But once she discovered Tang Xiaolei had an archery-type martial soul, she had already planned her tactics for this match: using an extremely exaggerated soul‑ring ratio to intimidate him, while employing snow intent to interfere with his thoughts, making his thinking sluggish so he couldn't notice the oddity in the soul‑ring combination, plunging him into deep fear from which he couldn't awaken, and then using spiritual interference to invisibly warp his mind and disturb his aim.

Tang Xiaolei again. Huo Yuetong again. Soul King (Soul King) from glossary. Soul Emperor (Soul Emperor) again

Spiritual system (maybe a category, not a name)

Tang Xiaolei again. Zhengtian Academy again. Team leader teacher (not a name). Girl (not a name)

Yan'er appears. Also Zhengtian Academy again

As the team teacher of Zhengtian Academy, he undoubtedly knows these children best; logically, no matter how fearful Tang Xiaolei is, Huo Yutong couldn't possibly dodge so easily, which shows she must possess a soul skill that affects aim.

The girl called Yan'er nodded.

Yan'er again

Yan'er again

Yan'er again. Huo Yuetong again. Also six 100,000-year (not a name)

Huo Yuetong again. Referee (not a name)

Being gazed upon by her plain expression, the judge actually felt a bit nervous—after all, as a referee he only has seven rings, while theoretically a Soul Emperor with all‑red rings would be far stronger than him.

He quickly shouted, "Match start!"

Yan'er again. Huo Yuetong again. Also two yellow two purple four soul rings (not a name). Fireball (not a name)

She remembered the team teacher's words and decided to use close combat to draw out Huo Yutong's true strength.

Yan'er again. Huo Yuetong again

Last time sending out Tang Xiaolei, whose sole offensive means was long‑range attack, was understandable, since many soul masters specialize in long‑range attacks and encountering one isn't strange.

Tang Xiaolei again. Yan'er again. Huo Yuetong again. Also martial soul is Purple Splendor Bow. Purple Splendor Bow maybe a named item: Purple Splendor Bow

Zhengtian Academy again. Huo Yuetong again

Thus, under everyone's shocked gaze, Huo Yutong's hair rapidly turned white, and a girl who looked completely different from just moments before appeared in the same spot.

Yan'er suddenly felt a vague premonition of ill omen; looking at Huo Yutong, now entirely snow‑white, she inexplicably felt a surge of fear.

Surely it's just that I too was frightened by her six showy red rings; it's fine, they're only fake after all!

Yan'er encouraged herself like that, and two fireballs rose in her hand, ready to be hurled at Huo Yutong.

Facing the incoming Yan'er, Huo Yutong neither dodged nor evaded, merely stepping forward lightly.

Yet with that step taken, the temperature plummeted, and the two fireballs in Yan'er's hand instantly went out, her face changing dramatically.

She felt that piercing cold, tried to retreat, but it was too late; even the fireballs beneath her feet began to flicker in the extreme cold, she couldn't dodge in time, and Huo Yutong caught her squarely.

Yan'er again. Huo Yuetong again
