The moment the announcer officially declared the start of the match, a sinister grin spread across the faces of the Wind Claw Combo.
A pair of bright silver metal claws instantly materialized over their forearms. The metal claws gleamed with a dangerous, icy light. As they swung them a few times, invisible wind blades began to howl through the air.
"First Soul Skill, Frenzied Slashes!"
"Second Soul Skill, Cyclone Claw Strike!"
"Third Soul Skill, Dance of the Wind Blades!"
The two brothers unleashed their respective soul skills almost simultaneously.
Following the flashes of their soul rings—two yellow and one purple—the duo rapidly swung their wind claws right where they stood.
From Xiao Lin's perspective, the brothers' First Soul Skill was a close-quarters attack that combined both offense and speed. The subsequent Second and Third Soul Skills built upon the first, slicing through the air to generate flying wind blades for ranged assault.
The coordination of these three soul skills made it incredibly difficult for an ordinary Soul Master to defend against. Furthermore, the brothers were twins, meaning their teamwork was flawlessly synchronized.
Looking at the countless howling wind blades tearing toward them, Xiao Lin couldn't immediately isolate one of them for a one-on-one duel. Meanwhile, Tang Ni, who stood beside him, remained completely motionless.
Xiao Lin smiled faintly.
It looked like he would have to make the first move this time to break the brothers' seamless coordination. Striking second but arriving first, Xiao Lin concentrated golden flames into his hand.
In the next split second, the fire erupted violently from his arm, transforming into a roaring pillar of flame that surged straight toward the Wind Claw Combo.
Fire Fist!
Xiao Lin roared in his mind.
The intense flames swelled once more on impact, expanding until the pillar was as thick as a water vat. The massive deluge of fire consumed the countless incoming wind blades without any resistance whatsoever, continuing its relentless charge toward the Wind Claw Combo.
The twins were instantly stupefied.
Were their three combined soul skills just completely nullified by a casual punch from this man?
Fortunately, they were seasoned veterans of the arena.
They knew that elemental-type Martial Souls were notoriously unreasonable when it came to their terrifying area-of-effect damage. Facing the incoming pillar of fire, the two brothers chuckled, splitting up temporarily as they leaped toward opposite edges of the stage.
However, just as the brothers thought they had evaded the flame attack and prepared to launch a counteroffensive...
Xiao Lin's massive torrent of fire slammed directly into the protective barrier enveloping the stage. Instead of breaking through, the flames gathered and condensed under the constraint of the barrier. In an instant, the rapidly accumulating fire brought forth an even more scorching heat.
As the golden flames burned continuously, the two brothers suddenly found it difficult to breathe. Even though they had physically dodged the attack, they were still heavily affected by the sheer temperature of the flames.
In just a matter of moments, their hair began to curl up under the intense heat.
"This fire...?"
The older twin knit his brows and focused his mind.
Even though they had fought hundreds of battles, they had never encountered flames like these. It wasn't that the brothers had never faced opponents whose fire was hotter than Xiao Lin's; rather, those opponents had to unleash at least two or three soul skills to achieve that level of heat.
Yet, Xiao Lin had merely thrown a casual punch without activating a single soul skill.
Before long, the highly experienced announcer caught on and shouted at the top of his lungs, "A Self-Created Soul Skill! This is a Self-Created Soul Skill!"
The announcer genuinely believed he had unlocked the secret behind Xiao Lin's Fire Fist, completely unaware that this was merely one of the basic ways Xiao Lin projected his energy. It was nothing more than an ordinary, run-of-the-mill technique.
Swish!
Suddenly, a piercing howl of wind erupted from the other side of the stage.
Following a few more sharp swishes, Xiao Lin noticed that his flames were actually being sliced apart. By the time Xiao Lin got a clear view of the Wind Claw Combo, the announcer's voice echoed once more.
"It's here! The Wind Claw Combo' strongest technique—Endless Wind Pressure!"
Just as the announcer's words fell, Xiao Lin felt his flames being utterly suppressed by an overwhelming force, flattening them completely.
The massive fire that had originally accumulated to the thickness of a barrel was now pressed firmly against the stage floor, flattened like waves of wheat bent by a gale.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel surprised.
This was the Ultimate Fire; how could it be pinned down by simple wind?
However, it was precisely because the flames were suppressed that Xiao Lin and Tang Ni could finally see what was actually happening. It turned out that the two brothers had activated their fourth soul rings at the exact same moment.
While utilizing their fourth soul rings, a resonance had formed between their soul skills.
Xiao Lin was all too familiar with this kind of resonance.
Wasn't this the exact same principle behind the Soul Ring Fusion Skill born from his bond with Tang San?
In the next split second, the Endless Wind Pressure came tearing toward Xiao Lin and Tang Ni. The overwhelming force of the wind pressure made it nearly impossible for them to keep their eyes open, and worse yet, their wigs were on the verge of being blasted right off their heads.
This was bad.
If their disguises were blown here, wouldn't they look like total clowns?
Thinking fast, Tang Ni was the first to act, activating a protective layer of golden light around her body. With the flash of golden light, Tang Ni instantly transformed from a gentle, housewife aesthetic into a fierce goddess of war.
No matter how violently the gale howled and battered against her, she remained completely unmoved. However, while Tang Ni could afford to do this, Xiao Lin could not. If he unleashed his Ultimate Fire, it would instantly incinerate his own wig and facial prosthetics.
Left with no other choice, Xiao Lin could only manifest a standard barrier of soul power right in front of him.
"Haha! Brother, they actually think they can block our Endless Wind Pressure with pure soul power!"
"Don't worry about him, brother! Let's end this fight quickly!"
The two brothers called out to each other.
They were well aware that utilizing a Soul Ring Fusion Skill drained a massive amount of their soul power, so they couldn't afford to waste time.
In the next instant, the twins unleashed their first three soul skills once again. Following the flashes of their two yellow and one purple soul rings, an endless torrent of wind blades erupted, far more violent and lethal than before.
In the blink of an eye, countless wind blades slammed against Xiao Lin's soul power shield, producing a barrage of metallic clanging sounds.
"It's here! The Frenzied Dance of Wind Blades following the Endless Wind Pressure! A limitless storm of wind blades! The Wind Claw Combo have used this exact combination to secure nine consecutive victories. Will this be the match that successfully advances them to the next rank?"
The announcer, who possessed a Martial Soul with wings on his back, hovered around the perimeter of the stage to observe the situation, using his suspenseful commentary to whip the surrounding crowd into a frenzy.
"Ten-win streak! Ten-win streak!"
"Ten-win streak! Ten-win streak!"
...
However, just as the spectators were roaring and cheering for the Wind Claw Combo, their cheers ground to a screeching halt in the very next second.
A golden flash streaked across the arena.
Tang Ni had actually braved the limitless storm of wind blades, forcing her way right in front of the younger Wind Claw brother. Then, she delivered a ferocious punch straight to his face, blasting him clean off the stage.
He landed in the distance, his condition unknown.
The announcer was completely dumbfounded.
What on earth is that golden aura? Another Self-Created Soul Skill?
To think it possessed such terrifying defensive and offensive power simultaneously.
The announcer couldn't help but marvel in his heart. He felt as though he had seen more Self-Created Soul Skills in this single match than he had in his entire life.
"Little brother!"
Witnessing his brother's brutal defeat, how could the older twin remain calm? His face flushed red with rage as he frantically unleashed his wind claws, sending a chaotic barrage of wind blades sweeping toward Tang Ni.
"Sorry, but your opponent is me."
The moment Xiao Lin's voice drifted softly into the older brother's ears, the man realized something was terribly wrong. Large beads of sweat instantly formed on his forehead, only to be flash-evaporated by an intense heat.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Xiao Lin had executed a sudden flash-step. Accelerated by his flames, he had already materialized right beside the man, pointing a single finger directly at him.
The golden flame flickering at the tip of that finger danced ominously, pulling tightly on the twin's lifeline. He knew with absolute certainty that if he didn't surrender, this golden flame would shoot straight through his forehead like an arrow, and then...
"I surrender!"
Faced with a lethal threat to his life, the older brother didn't hesitate for a single second and decisively threw in the towel.
