Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
On the fighting arena, Cheng Xiao and Dugu Yan faced each other, waiting for the female host to announce the start of the duel.
After a moment, when the female host finished introducing the basic information of Cheng Xiao and Dugu Yan, she raised the microphone and shouted, "Begin the duel!"
As the female host's voice fell, Cheng Xiao politely gestured to Dugu Yan, offering her the first move. Then, he charged out like a cannonball, his speed so fast that only a blur could be seen.
So fast! Dugu Yan was shocked. Facing a twelve-year-old Soul Elder, she was very clear about the gap in their talents. However, her Soul Power had reached level thirty-eight, a full three levels higher than Cheng Xiao. Moreover, she wasn't a pampered flower; she was confident that she had an advantage facing Cheng Xiao.
But now, facing Cheng Xiao's sudden attack, the advantage that Dugu Yan felt in her heart collapsed. How could his speed be so fast!
Although she was shocked by Cheng Xiao's speed, Dugu Yan didn't give up immediately. Instead, she quickly released her Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
Two yellow and one purple soul rings spiraled up from Dugu Yan's feet, indicating her cultivation as a three-ring Soul Elder.
"First Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Serpent Bodyguard!"
With a soft shout, the first Soul Ring beneath Dugu Yan's feet suddenly lit up, emitting a brilliant yellow light. A layer of green poisonous mist enveloped her entire body, and a green scale appeared on her brow, while a phantom green serpent swayed behind her.
Just after she released her first Soul Skill, Cheng Xiao had already arrived in front of her. His fist, wreathed in black smoke, ruthlessly slammed out, showing absolutely no mercy.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan decisively raised her arms to block. She didn't believe Cheng Xiao would dare to withstand the erosion of her poison and attack her, but soon, she discovered that the black smoke on Cheng Xiao's fist seemed to isolate her poison.
Although she was extremely shocked, she didn't have time to think further, because Cheng Xiao's fists fell like a storm.
Facing Cheng Xiao's attacks, Dugu Yan was miserable. This was the first time she'd encountered someone who dared to attack her like this while facing her poison. Usually, these people only had one fate: to be dissolved into pus by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison.
But Cheng Xiao, who was constantly attacking her, was different. The black smoke that enveloped his arms seemed to isolate the erosion of the poison, meaning her Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison was completely suppressed!
In the Soul Arena's rest area, looking at the scene of Cheng Xiao unilaterally beating Dugu Yan, Qin Ming's expression became somewhat strange.
"The poison doesn't seem to affect Dugu Yan at all? Could his Martial Soul have the ability to isolate poison?" Qin Ming, watching the strange scene unfolding on the arena, thought to himself, "This kid hasn't released any Soul Skills from the start. Could the black smoke on his fist be a Self-Created Soul Skill?"
On the Soul Arena, Dugu Yan, who was being suppressed by Cheng Xiao, had a change of expression. She looked at Cheng Xiao, who was constantly attacking her, in shock. She didn't know why, but the Soul Power within her was rapidly dissipating!
Just as Dugu Yan was distracted, Cheng Xiao changed his fist into a palm. He opened his slightly curved palm, and a powerful force burst forth.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Dugu Yan's body was like she had been hit by a heavy hammer. After retreating more than ten steps, she stopped her body in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Holding her chest, which was faintly aching, Dugu Yan felt it hurt to breathe. But looking at Cheng Xiao, who was unharmed and didn't even show the slightest expression, she couldn't help but ask, "You haven't released your Soul Rings or used any Soul Skills. What kind of skill is this?"
"I don't have any skills. This is just an ability that comes with my Martial Soul." Cheng Xiao glanced at Dugu Yan indifferently and lowered his hand. However, a faint golden light was emanating from the palm of his hand.
That palm strike was just a temporary idea. If he used a fist and hit a vital point, that punch would probably have been enough to shatter her internal organs.
"An ability that comes with a Martial Soul!" Dugu Yan was shocked. What kind of Martial Soul could block the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison from entering the body while also dissolving the opponent's Soul Power? How could she fight like this?
Looking at the bewildered Dugu Yan, a curve appeared at the corner of Cheng Xiao's mouth. If that was the case, then this match could end ahead of time.
However, just as Cheng Xiao was about to end the match, Dugu Yan, who had lowered her head, suddenly launched an attack. The light of her third Soul Ring burst forth, and a pale green light emanated from her body. "Third Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison!"
As Dugu Yan unleashed her third Soul Skill, a thick, purple poisonous mist spewed from her mouth, drifting towards Cheng Xiao.
Sensing danger, the soldiers within Cheng Xiao's shadow began to stir restlessly. As the most loyal soldiers of their king, they would not allow anyone to harm him.
However, Cheng Xiao didn't grant them permission to emerge. Instead, he faced the Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison drifting towards him, his expression unchanged.
"Are you crazy? My Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison will turn you into pus within moments if you even touch it!" Seeing Cheng Xiao not only avoid it but actively move towards it, Dugu Yan immediately shouted in alarm.
This scene stunned everyone watching the match. Not just the audience, but even the members of the Royal Fighting Team were stunned. They never expected Cheng Xiao to face the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison, which could kill people with a single touch!
The only thought running through the minds of everyone watching was, This is a madman, a true madman! No one believed Cheng Xiao could survive after being exposed to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison. There was once a Soul Master who, seeking death, experimented with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison, and the result was disappearing into pus. Now, another reckless fellow was about to meet the same fate.
But just when everyone thought Cheng Xiao was about to die, the young man standing in the poisonous mist sneezed. Then, he touched his nose and chuckled, "Senior Dugu Yan, your snake poison doesn't seem to work on me."
"Doesn't... work?" Dugu Yan stared blankly at Cheng Xiao, her eyes filled with horror. The snake poison that could turn people into pus, and he said it didn't work?
The crowd erupted in an uproar. All eyes fell on Cheng Xiao. They couldn't believe someone had survived after touching the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison, and moreover, he looked perfectly fine!
However, what everyone didn't know was that when Cheng Xiao came into contact with the poison, his original passive skill, "Recover Status," had already been upgraded to the "Blessing of the Great Shaman."
On top of his original recovery abilities, he was now immune to all diseases, poisons, and various abnormal states. His recovery rate also increased significantly while sleeping. This was why Cheng Xiao wasn't the least bit afraid of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison and even dared to charge forward—because he was immune.
Dugu Yan stared blankly at Cheng Xiao, the shock in her eyes turning into disbelief. She had never expected that the smiling, amiable-looking young man would be completely unaffected by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison.
Of course, it wasn't just her. Even the members of the Royal Sky Battle Team watching from the sidelines were stunned.
They knew exactly how potent Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison was. Even strong Soul Masters several levels higher than her wouldn't dare to provoke it easily. Once afflicted, it couldn't be completely eradicated. Not even her grandfather, Dugu Bo, could do it.
Originally, when Qin Ming saw Dugu Yan use her third Soul Skill, his heart leaped into his throat. He knew that Cheng Xiao was someone the Crown Prince had sent over. If anything happened, his position as a teacher wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
But to his surprise, Cheng Xiao showed no reaction to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison. He didn't even show any signs of being poisoned. So, he had a Soul Skill that granted immunity to poisons?
The arena fell silent for a moment. Dugu Yan raised her head, unwilling to accept defeat. Her green eyes had turned purple from using her third Soul Skill. She pursed her lips and said, "I lost."
After saying those words, Dugu Yan turned and left the arena, appearing to move even faster after her defeat.
Watching Dugu Yan's departing figure, Cheng Xiao shook his head slightly and then followed after her.
When Dugu Yan walked out of the Soul Master passage, Yu Tianheng was already waiting for her. After a simple consolation, the two of them headed towards the two-on-two arena. Since they had lost in the one-on-one, they would vent their anger on the opponents in the two-on-two!
When Cheng Xiao returned to the rest area, Ye Lingling was looking at him curiously. She couldn't figure out what the special characteristics of the young man's Martial Soul were. He could even be immune to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison, a feat even her Nine-Heart Begonia couldn't achieve.
However, Cheng Xiao didn't intend to tell her. Because as soon as he returned to the rest area, Qin Ming asked him to take Ye Lingling to the two-on-two registration area. They had another two-on-two match tonight. After completing this one, they could go back and rest.
In response, Cheng Xiao could only agree to Qin Ming's request and brought Ye Lingling to the two-on-two arena.
"To participate in the two-on-two Soul Arena, the registration fee is ten gold coins."
