The hosts of the Soul Arena here all seem to be the same; their martial soul is their mouth, their physical martial soul.
They must all come from the same family lineage, specializing in serving the Great Soul Arena.
"Next up is the fourth match, a two-on-two Soul Arena, the Ghost Axe Duo versus the Mario Duo.
It's worth mentioning that the Ghost Axe Duo has never lost since its inception; their momentum is unstoppable, with a ten-game winning streak. Just one more win and they can directly advance to the Bronze Soul Arena.
In comparison, the Mario Duo is a newly formed duo, but one of them is the Great Soul Master Ma Hongjun, who just displayed a martial soul miracle.
Undoubtedly, this is a Soul Arena full of unknowns and sure to be exciting. Let's wait and see.
Please welcome the two Soul Arena fighters!"
After the host finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers.
"Ghost Axe... Ghost Axe..."
The Ghost Axe Duo was incredibly popular, and some seats in the audience were filled, clearly the new additions were specifically there to see them.
However, some audience members who had just seen Ma Hongjun's performance, especially the women and young women, were also excitedly shouting Ma Hongjun's name.
Ma Hongjun's handsome yet wicked aura, domineering presence, and overwhelming strength had already won over his first batch of fans.
Originally, the Ghost Axe Duo's strength and record were enough to secure a spot in the main Soul Arena, but recently there have been too many outstanding teams, filling the main arena. The Ghost Axe Duo wasn't willing to wait any longer and had to settle for a side arena.
In the side arena, it was already difficult to find teams that could defeat the Ghost Axe Duo. The odds on the peripheral casinos for the Ghost Axe Duo had reached 1 to 100, and many people, upon hearing the name, blindly bet on them to win, even with the low odds.
It was like Ma Hongjun betting on football before, except not to win. That team didn't "disappoint" him; it directly earned him a house in his previous life.
After Ma Hongjun displayed the power of his yellow and purple soul rings, the organizers manipulated things behind the scenes, placing him with the Mario Duo, one of the teams in the arena.
This was actually unfair to the Mario Duo, as newly formed teams are generally not paired with such powerful teams. The organizers had no choice but to resort to a little trick.
However, Ma Hongjun was unaware of all this. Stepping onto the Soul Arena, he found that the two-on-two arena was nearly twice the size of the one-on-one arena, providing ample space.
The Ghost Axe Duo consisted of a man and a woman, both around twenty years old. The two formed a stark contrast; the woman was slender, tall, and thin, while the man was shorter but very muscular.
They gave off a somewhat awkward, almost comical, impression.
"Oh my, you're quite handsome, you two little brothers. Why don't you just admit defeat? I can't bring myself to do it!" the woman said sarcastically, giving Ma Hongjun a flirtatious wink. "Slut,
enough talk. My axe is itching for action. Let's get these two off the stage quickly," the short
, stocky man said, summoning his Martial Soul—a massive axe almost as large as himself, looking extremely disproportionate in his hand.
Accompanying the giant axe were two yellow Soul Rings.
He leaped to his feet, his giant axe expanding in mid-air to engulf Ma Hongjun and Oscar, the blade slashing down towards their heads.
"Back off! Be careful, dodge, protect yourself!"
"Got it, it's all up to you, Hongjun."
The two quickly separated. Ma Hongjun summoned his Dragon Soul Spear, attacking from the left front, while Oscar swiftly dodged and retreated from the right rear.
The giant axe crashed down, its powerful force shaking the arena. The shockwave spread outwards, causing Oscar, not far away, to stagger and lose his footing.
Ma Hongjun's first spirit ring lit up, and he unleashed the Extreme Shadow Flying Dragon Spear, thrusting it straight at the dwarf's arm from the side.
The dwarf grinned, simultaneously lighting up his first spirit ring.
"Shockwave Axe!"
The axe handle lengthened, sweeping across his hands, using his small frame as a focal point, covering an entire semi-circular area within his attack range.
This spirit skill was somewhat similar to the "Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies" move in spear techniques, but the dwarf's giant axe was enormous, pushing forward like a wall.
In the midst of his charge, Ma Hongjun had to interrupt his first soul skill. The spear tip reversed and collided with the side of the giant axe. The powerful force sent Ma Hongjun flying, requiring two backflips to regain his footing.
"What monstrous strength!"
This dwarf's strength was completely inversely proportional to his size, momentarily changing Ma Hongjun's perception of dwarves.
He couldn't compete with him in terms of strength; only a fool would directly withstand the ferocious power unleashed by the giant axe.
The advantages of the Phoenix Playing with a Hundred Birds technique began to show. In comparison, although the giant axe could conjure huge phantoms and had an extremely wide attack range, its attack speed was very slow.
Since the Dragon Soul Spear absorbed the blood energy from the Dragon Blood Jade last time, Ma Hongjun had gained a new method of attack.
"Spear Control!"
Like the legendary sword control technique, he could control the Dragon Soul Spear to launch multi-directional attacks within a five-meter radius.
Over the past three months, Ma Hongjun has been practicing slowly. It's far from being as magical as the Sword Control Technique, but he can fly out and bring it back within five meters. It's a kind of long-range attack method, which is perfect for dealing with this dwarf. He can directly control the Dragon Soul Spear to fly over his giant axe defense line and attack him!
However, this spear control consumes a lot of soul power. If he exceeds three meters and launches an attack, it's equivalent to using his first soul skill.
"Watch out, Da Lang!"
Ma Hongjun said, the Dragon Soul Spear already flying from his hand. Guided by soul power, it rose in an arc, changed direction, and thrust straight at the dwarf's face.
"What kind of soul skill is this?"
The dwarf was shocked. The giant axe in his hand quickly shrank, but it was obviously too late to block with the axe.
The dwarf quickly turned and ran, the Dragon Soul Spear about to pierce his back.
Just then, a brown vine covered in sharp thorns rushed over and wrapped around the Dragon Soul Spear.
"Little brother, your spear, I've wrapped it up for you!" The
tall, thin woman walked over slowly, holding a very long vine in her hand.
"Ghost Vine Martial Soul!"
Ma Hongjun was slightly surprised!
Ghost Vine is an extremely terrifying plant-type soul beast with extremely strong neurotoxins. As long as you are pierced by its thorns, the toxins will immediately spread until it turns into pus and becomes fertilizer for the Ghost Vine.
When it attacks, it releases countless tiny seeds that directly parasitize the enemy. As long as the Ghost Vine provides enough energy, or these seeds absorb enough nutrients, they will grow on the host. Once the neurotoxin spreads, the effect will be the same.
The woman's Ghost Vine also has two yellow spirit rings.
The Ghost Vine is actually the same as Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. Before Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was strengthened, it was actually not as strong as the Ghost Vine to a certain extent.
"No wonder they're called the Ghost Axe Combination, and no wonder they can achieve ten consecutive victories. One is a super control spirit master with poison attribute, and the other is a super strength-type spirit master with a giant weapon spirit."
This can be considered the best combination for two people. Oscar, a food-type spirit master, actually needs to be in a large team, especially in the army, to maximize his role. In two-person battles, he is somewhat useless.
However, against the Ghost Vine, Oscar's second spirit skill, Detoxifying Sausage, can be effective, and the tall and thin woman's poison attribute can be ignored. The
Dragon Soul Spear was entangled by the Ghost Vine, forcibly changing its attack direction and piercing into the Soul Arena.
"Come back!"
Ma Hongjun channeled his soul power, and the Dragon Soul Spear vanished from the vines, reappearing in his hand.
"My spear is too slippery; you can't entangle it."
Ma Hongjun stood holding the spear, a smirk playing on his lips, and said disdainfully.
"Little brother, you're so naughty. Well, then your sister will entangle you."
"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"
Dark brown ghost vines, like venomous snakes, twisted and swiftly darted from the ground towards Ma Hongjun. The ghost vines began to multiply, from one to ten, then a hundred. They spread to Ma Hongjun's feet, sealing off his surroundings.
The Dragon Soul Spear trembled rapidly, breaking off one ghost vine after another, but the multiplied ghost vines were endless. Soon, Ma Hongjun was entangled, the vines frantically rising, wrapping around him in circles.
Poisonous thorns pierced his skin, a needle-like pain spreading throughout his body. The toxins had begun to spread throughout his body, possessing a strong corrosive effect; the wounds were already festering.
"Hehehe, now you're entangled by your sister, how does it feel? My thorns really hurt!
If you beg for mercy, I'll let you go, otherwise the poison will spread and ruin your pretty little face.
That would break my heart."
The tall, thin woman teased Ma Hongjun with a flirtatious laugh as she slowly approached him.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun was completely wrapped in ghost vines, only his pale face was visible.
The tall, thin woman approached, extending her slender, white fingers to lift Ma Hongjun's chin.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered,
"You little brat, love me!"
(Hehehe!)
