The Soto City Grand Soul Arena is one of the larger and more famous Soul Arenas.
Matches are held here every day.
Teacher Xue quickly registered Xue Luochuan.
"Teacher Xue, aren't Tianheng and the others coming?" Xue Luochuan sat in the audience, his gaze fixed on the Soul Battle matches below.
"Tianheng and the others don't want to be with you, to avoid being discouraged. They're out shopping together right now."
"They'll come during the team battle later,"
Teacher Xue said, also watching the matches below.
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang and his group also arrived at the Soto City Grand Soul Arena.
Just like in the original story, Xiao Wu and Toad Tang San still formed the three-five combination, while Ma Hongjun had a gloomy face, wishing he could kill Toad Tang San.
Even Xiao Wu's kiss at night couldn't make him swallow his anger.
But he knew he couldn't do anything yet, he could only endure, endure until he had obtained all the benefits before taking action against Toad Tang San.
Aside from Xiao Wu and Toad Tang San participating in the duo battle, the rest of the group only participated in the solo battle.
"Xiao Wu, I'm going to participate in the solo battle first. We'll be together later."
Toad Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with loving eyes. Xiao Wu simply nodded, a wave of nausea rising within her. Submitting to Tang San was truly unpleasant!
Seeing Xiao Wu nod, Toad Tang San walked blissfully towards the registration area. Today, he would show his prowess in the battle arena and let Xiao Wu see his strength!
Since returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, he had clearly sensed that Xiao Wu cared less for him. He didn't know why, nor what he had done wrong.
So today, he wanted to show Xiao Wu his power and win her back.
Xiao Wu coldly looked at Toad Tang San, her eyes filled with disdain, a hint of hatred, and a faint, almost imperceptible, affection—a complex mix.
The thoughts of this 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit were truly unfathomable.
Toad Tang San happily went to register. The registration attendant, seeing him, coldly said, "Alright, there was a Soul Master ahead of us. We'll arrange for you two to go together later."
"Go and prepare,"
Toad Tang San replied, excitedly rushing towards Xiao Wu. Just then, Ma Hongjun, who was about to say something, returned, thwarting Ma Hongjun's plans.
After all, on the surface, Toad Tang San and Xiao Wu were a couple; even if their relationship wasn't good, they still had to maintain appearances.
Toad Tang San quietly waited to participate in the competition.
"Next, please welcome Howling Swan, Tang San, to the stage for the duel!"
Hearing the announcement, Toad Tang San proudly walked towards the Soul Arena.
"Teacher Xue, you wait here and watch me take down that so-called Tang San,"
Xue Luochuan slowly stood up, glancing at Xue Ya beside her.
Xueya nodded: "Okay, be careful, I trust you."
Xue Luochuan smiled faintly, fanning himself slightly with his fan, and walked gracefully and arrogantly towards the Soul Arena.
In the Soul Arena, Tang San, completely covered up like a toad, only revealed his eyes, emanating a faint, unpleasant stench.
The elegant Xue Luochuan slowly walked onto the Soul Arena, the two forming a stark contrast.
One resembled a stinking rat hiding in a ditch, while the other was like a swan shining brightly in a crowd.
"So stinky!"
Xue Luochuan smelled the stench as soon as he arrived.
Toad Tang San's eyes turned cold; this man was already courting death. How dare he openly despise him…
Seeing Toad Tang San's icy gaze, Xue Luochuan was speechless. All he said was "stinky"? Why did he hate him so much? And he couldn't even
say anything?
"Make your move. Seeing how weak you are, I'll give you three moves!"
Xue Luochuan retracted his fan, pointed lightly, and looked at Toad Tang San with utter disdain.
He had already seen that Toad Tang San only had level 32 soul power, far inferior to his own!
Toad Tang San snorted coldly; he wouldn't bother with any chivalry with Xue Luochuan: "Martial Soul: Toad!"
Croak, croak!
Two terrifying toad croaks echoed throughout the entire Soul Arena.
"Holy crap, your martial soul is a toad!"
Xue Luochuan retreated a few steps with disgust; this was just too disgusting.
Xue Luochuan stared at the drooling, festering, striped toad-like creature, somewhat resembling a toad with cerebral palsy, and felt a surge of nausea.
The toad's long tongue drooped down—was this really not a cerebral palsy-inducing martial soul?
"You…you're disgusting,"
Xue Luochuan said with disgust. He had originally intended to let him have three moves, but now, forget about letting him have any—he was going to be disgusted to death.
"Howling Swan!"
Xue Luochuan snorted coldly. Behind him, a pure white swan raised its head, its wings gleaming, strong and powerful, its sharp feathers seemingly capable of cutting through anything in the world.
This was his martial soul, a mutated martial soul, Howling Swan!
The royal martial soul of the Heaven Dou Empire was the swan, and when Xue Luochuan awakened his martial soul, it mutated, making his swan even stronger and more powerful.
The feathers of the Howling Swan were also different from those of his two older brothers' martial souls. Xue Luochuan's martial soul feathers were incredibly sharp, and more importantly, extremely hard.
Unlike the soft, comfortable feathers of the previous ones.
The appearance of the mutated martial soul instantly maxed out Xue Luochuan's innate soul power, raising his value dramatically. Emperor Xue Ye ordered him to be nurtured with all his might, making him the guardian of the Heaven Dou Empire.
After all, Xue Luochuan's appearance brought a new member of the Heaven Dou royal family with innate full soul power.
Swan martial souls are incredibly rare; even the Clear Sky Sect, known for its strongest weapon martial souls, doesn't guarantee every Clear Sky Hammer martial soul user has innate full soul power.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, considered the best support martial soul in the world, doesn't have innate full soul power.
There are even those with only 0.5 innate soul power.
Xue Luochuan's innate full soul power indirectly indicates that his martial soul is a benign mutation, far better than those with only 0.5, although those with only 0.5 are unaware of their good fortune.
It all comes down to luck, except for Toad Tang San, who has an unfair advantage, able to cultivate to innate full soul power on his own.
However, now that this technique is in Xu Xin's hands, Toad Tang San has many more enemies.
In the next instant, Xue Luochuan's martial soul possessed him, and he swiftly flew into the air, far away from the disgusting toad.
In the sky, Xue Luochuan coldly stared at Toad Tang San, trying to fly as high as possible to avoid the toad spitting on him and splashing his pus.
"Toad Possession!"
Toad Tang San looked up at Xue Luochuan in the air, and in an instant, he transformed into a foul-smelling toad.
As his soul power increased, the stench seemed to intensify.
After the martial soul possessed him, the stench seemed to find an outlet, pouring out all at once.
