In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"

Chen Yu said irritably, "Little Phoenix Fairy, from today onwards, you only need to hand over 20% of the profits from the pills you refine to the sect. The rest is yours to control, and no one else has the right to use it."

"As for you... Tang Ya, you are no longer the leader of the Tang Clan. If you just behave yourself as a mascot, I will ignore you out of respect for your 'family's loyalty.' It's just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks. I won't risk the world's condemnation to kick you out."

"But if you keep causing trouble, using your status as an elder to deliberately slander core members of the Tang Clan and undermine the unity within the Tang Clan, don't blame me, Chen Yu, for being impolite!"

After saying that, Chen Yu took Xu Fengxian's hand and walked out of the Tang Clan's lounge without looking back.

At this moment, Chen Yu was particularly grateful that he had the foresight to seize the power of the Tang Clan leader in advance.

Otherwise, if Xu Fengxian and Tang Ya continue arguing, in the end... Xu Fengxian, this genius alchemist girl, will only have one path left: to leave the Tang Sect.

That despicable Tang Ya! Does a woman like her, who only acts on impulse and is utterly stupid, deserve to be called the restorer of the Tang Clan?

The competition was not affected by the entanglement between Huo Yuhao and Nan Qiuqiu and continued in an orderly manner.

"Sister Fengxian, let's... go watch the game for a while."

The Soul Master Tournament was held at the border of the three great empires, hundreds of miles away from the nearest city, Maple Leaf City. A round trip would take several hours. There were no entertainment facilities in the Soul Arena. Helpless, Chen Yu could only invite Xu Fengxian to watch the match, hoping to distract her and make her forget the unpleasant things that had just happened.

"it is good."

Invited by a beauty... oh no, it should be the sect leader's invitation. Xu Fengxian naturally had no reason to refuse. She let Chen Yu take her arm, and the two of them returned to the Tang Sect's exclusive waiting area like close girlfriends.

The two teams currently competing are the Tianshui Academy team from the far north and the Holy Flame Radiance Academy from the Tianhun Empire.

"Holy Flame Academy? What a lousy name!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but complain before turning his attention to the Soul Battle Stage.

"Both parties share the same name!"

"Qin Xue, Tianshui College."

"Li Feihe, Academy of Sacred Flame Glory"

"Both sides have announced their names; the match shall now begin!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Li Feihe moved his mind, and an exquisite metal can appeared in his hand, while his fifth spirit ring lit up.

Fifth Soul Skill: Swallowing Clouds and Spitting Mist.

Just as Qin Xue was wondering what use a jar-shaped martial spirit could have, the metal jar suddenly exploded, and streaks of pure white powder instantly spread across the entire battle arena.

"This is... baby formula?"

Qin Xue subconsciously pursed her lips, and as she smelled the milky aroma, a rather strong feeling of dizziness followed.

Fortunately, Qin Xue's magic resistance was at its maximum. She quickly stuffed an antidote pill into her mouth and mobilized her soul power to form an energy shield around her body, blocking the smoke from entering.

Li Feihe's fifth soul skill appears impressive, but in reality... it has little effect on soul masters with slightly stronger magic resistance; it merely serves to obscure their vision.

With Qin Xue's abilities, she could naturally use her area-of-effect soul skills to indiscriminately attack the entire Soul Arena, but... that would be too boring. She had finally encountered a Soul Master with a strange martial soul, so she had to let him show off a bit.

Time passed second by second. Just when Qin Xue thought Li Feihe was lost in her soul skill, she suddenly felt her body become heavy, and her soul seemed to be trembling.

"A soul attack? Hmph, that's interesting."

Qin Xue murmured something, then waved her jade hand, and a string of bells formed from soul power appeared.

As a series of "ding-a-ling" sounds rang out, Li Feihe and the referee felt as if they were inside a set of metal bells being struck, and an extremely strong sense of dizziness surged into their hearts.

Soon, the smoke from the milk powder production gradually dissipated, and the "ringing" sound still lingered within the area of ​​the Soul Arena. The moment the audience saw the scene on the Soul Arena, everyone was dumbfounded.

Qin Xue was still shaking the bell in her hand, while Li Feihe knelt on one knee with his hands covering his head, as if he were defending against some kind of attack.

The referee, however, was foaming at the mouth and lying motionless on the fighting platform, seemingly unconscious.

Ah this...

Two young Soul Masters were fighting on the Soul Battle Arena, and the first person to fall was... the referee?

However… some sharp-eyed Soul Masters noticed the anomaly: the bell in Qin Xue's hand was clearly formed from soul power. What did this mean? It meant that even a Soul Saint-level judge couldn't withstand Qin Xue's soul attack. Qin Xue and Li Feihe's soul strength had already far exceeded the standard for Soul Saint-level Soul Masters.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo, rushed onto the Soul Arena to save the day.

"Qin Xue, you can stop now."

As Zheng's powerful voice rang out, Qin Xue pursed her lips and silently put away the bell.

Seeing that Li Feihe's condition had improved somewhat, Zheng Zhan said unhurriedly, "Li Feihe, I declare the Body Sect the winner of this match. Do you accept that?"

"I accept it, I... I accept it. Being defeated in my area of ​​expertise is something I have no reason to be dissatisfied with."

Li Feihe sighed, enduring his physical discomfort, and approached Qin Xue step by step. When the two were less than two meters apart, he knelt down with a "thump" and kowtowed several times in Qin Xue's direction.

"My first spirit is milk powder, and my second spirit is the soul. Since there are almost no records of methods for cultivating soul power in the spirit master world, I have been studying it little by little on my own over the years, which is how I got to where I am today."

"And you, Miss... are the first Soul Master I, Li Feihe, have ever met who can materialize soul power. I... I want to become your disciple and learn from you the methods of cultivating soul power."

Qin Xue: "..."

She's only fifteen years old, having a nineteen-year-old disciple is really... a bit inappropriate.

Qin Xue said coldly, "My mastery of soul power is only at a minor level. If you want to find a master, I would recommend that you become a disciple of my aunt, or my sister... oh no, my sister Qin Mengmeng. Their Ghostly Shadow Martial Soul is the only one that truly focuses on cultivating the soul."

(P.S.: Qin Xue and Qin Mengmeng are not twins, but they were born at the same time. If we have to distinguish between them, Qin Xue is definitely the older sister, because in the battle between Xue Di and Ye Xishui, Xue Di won and took the high ground first, engaging in the first round of battle with Qin Yi. Ahem, everyone understands.) (End of this chapter)
