……

The entire arena froze for a moment.

All sounds—the churning dust beneath the ring, the heavy breathing in the stands, even the hissing of the scorching sun overhead—seemed to be abruptly wiped away by an invisible giant hand.

Countless gazes were fixed on the colossal creature that had burst into the air, their pupils reflecting the twisted, tangled purple-black vines, the enormous leaf shadows swaying like giant seaweed in the abyss, and the curse runes flowing deep within the veins of the leaves, like molten gold.

The air currents froze, and time itself seemed to stand still for a moment amidst the chilling, deathly stillness, and star-annihilating aura emanating from the giant vine.

“…What?” Someone in the front row squeezed out two trembling syllables through gritted teeth.

The deathly silence was immediately shattered by a tsunami-like roar!
"—Twin Martial Souls?! Her second Martial Soul!" A sharp voice ripped through the air, carrying an unbelievable sense of tearing.

"This oppressive aura...!" Someone clutched their chest, their voice distorted with shock. "The terrifying shockwave from those vines... this is definitely not a domain field of ordinary soul skills!"

"Life...healing?" Another person's throat tightened as they stared at the vine shadow that coiled around the arena like a kraken. "I knew it! A fourteen-year-old healing-type Soul King...it wasn't built up by her first martial soul, the Vine of Life?!"

"Ten thousand years? Far beyond ten thousand years!" The veteran closest to the gambling table suddenly stood up, oblivious to the wine jug he knocked over at his feet. His eyes were fixed on the faint scorch marks left by the tearing of the air by the vines. "This is definitely a second spirit that has absorbed a spirit ring, and... it's definitely not an ordinary ten thousand years!"

“...King's Martial Soul!” A deep, resolute voice rang out from the silent area.

These four words are like sparks thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting a prairie fire!
"This is absolutely top-tier King-level weapon spirit! The life-healing ability is just the surface; this spirit skill... is the foundation upon which she stands tall!"

"What a joke! This is the manifestation of dual cultivation of support and control!"

"Dual King-level Martial Souls! Not even sixteen yet... and he's already unleashed such a powerful, age-defying Soul Skill..." Someone murmured in a daze, their words tinged with awe. "This... is the kind of peerless genius the world will sing praises of..."

Surprise and disbelief erupted: "Where is the Prodigy Ranking?! Why isn't such a person on the list?!"

He was shouting at the top of his lungs, almost pounding on the railing.

The brief commotion was silenced by a clearer explanation: "Too late! The list was finalized at the beginning of the year; she's too late to take the stage!"

Many more people suddenly realized what was happening and gasped in shock, “Tian Shi City… has listed her as the leader of the ‘Sen Luo Juan’ plant system.”

A clear voice rang out from the crowd, "It seems... those old monsters in Tian Shi City... have a very sharp eye!"

……

Ji Bingyan's cheeks twitched: "Finally, it's appeared, twin martial souls!"

Zhan Ruoxi gave a blank "hmm".

Bo Huaiyu still wore a smile; "Let's see how she defends herself!"

……

The dust kicked up by Baxia's giant claws cracking the rock surface had not yet dissipated when the white-clad girl's fingertips hovered there, and the space was already filled with deep, wood-grain-like ripples.

At this moment, Xiao Yi had begun to awaken her life force and moon markings, and her soul power soared to level 63.

"Second Soul Skill - Modified - Azure Cage".

His voice was clear and cold, without any inflection.

In the next instant, as if an ancient dragon sleeping underground suddenly turned around on the other side, the entire arena was like a rough cloth being violently shaken by an invisible force.

Countless dark purple vines, wreathed in withered starlight, burst forth from the cracked stone. Unlike the tangled, climbing growth of ordinary plants, they grew with a domineering, booming force, as if forcefully hammering into reality. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A total of seven layers of cages!

Not one layer, but seven layers of dark, gleaming meteorite iron vines, violently erupting from the depths of the earth.

Every edge and crevice of the tortoise shell, the joints of the limbs as thick as palace pillars, the furiously raised scales of the dragon's neck, the tip of the tail that lashes out, and even the gnarled stone base at the base of the giant monument, were all simultaneously and fiercely bound by more than a dozen vines with immense strangling force.

It's not entanglement! It's piercing! It's deep embedding! It's binding!

There was dead silence in the audience.

too fast.

From the moment the cry of "Azure Cage" was uttered to the moment Baxia was trapped, less than a breath had passed.

Logically speaking, when such a life-filling soul skill is applied to the meteor vine, which symbolizes death, destruction, and desolation, the attributes are completely opposite, and the effect should be extremely weak or even backfire and be ineffective.

However, since that sudden enlightenment and transformation at the Duke of Chang'an's mansion, Xiao Yi's true meaning of life has reached a state of perfection and without flaws, and she has also understood the mysteries of the flow of the five elements.

More importantly, in a moment of enlightenment, she saw her true self and comprehended the profound meaning of the spirit vine's original heart.

From then on, she became one with her original martial soul, the Evergreen Vine. When she thought of the vine, it would move at her will. Her control over the martial soul had become almost an innate instinct.

Although the meteorite vine represents a negative evolution, it is ultimately a branch derived from the root system of the evergreen vine, connected by blood and sharing the same origin.

The branches naturally share and inherit the spiritual vine essence and extraordinary control power obtained by the main vine.

For this reason, the life and death attributes that should have been in fierce conflict were now unified and harmonized by a deeper, more profound power, and the resulting conflict was reduced to almost nothing, or even negligible.

During the bloody battle at Chen Mansion that night, the astonishing speed at which she and Chen Xiaojun's martial soul fusion attack, switching between "Ten Directions Annihilation" and "Dutian Sword Vine" was as fast as lightning and seamlessly connected, was based on the control ability granted by the "Spirit Vine Heart".

The result is this paradoxical scene: the azure cage representing life has been almost perfectly grafted onto and activated on the meteorite vine symbolizing decay and destruction.

Instead of collapsing due to the conflicting attributes, this desolate cage gained terrifying resilience and regenerative power far exceeding that of ordinary life vines.

The colossal body of Baxia struggled and shook the entire arena, billowing dust like yellow mist. But in that instant when its massive dragon head roared in fury and its thick right claw strained upwards—

quack!

A piercingly sharp crack rang out, and among the dozen or so dark purple vines that were wrapped around Baxia's right foreleg, which was as solid as a mountain pillar, only one snapped in response.

The broken vine stubble exposed its lifeless, purplish-black internal fibers to the sunlight, scattering like wood chips.

Baxia's immense strength... only managed to break a mere vine!
Almost simultaneously with the breaking of the vine, the undamaged vine chains further away emitted a teeth-grinding creaking groan and suddenly tightened.

At the severed vine, new tendrils, wreathed in the light of withered stars, grew wildly like greedy venomous snakes, instantly repairing the insignificant gap.

The cage remains!

Bindings are as deep as an abyss!

That claw, powerful enough to shatter mountain peaks, was futilely pinned back to its original spot by the seven ever-regenerating, desolate giant net.

They struggled but made no progress.

Outside the cage, only Baxia's long, drawn-out dragon roar, tinged with a hint of bewilderment and rage, echoed within the desolate, starlight-filled cage of fallen vines.
