Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

The originally black Xuanming Zhenguang Shield suddenly turned into a deep dark green. Xu Sanshi's first three spirit rings shone simultaneously, instantly converging into a huge black spirit ring, radiating brilliant light.

"Black Tortoise Roars!"

Xu Sanshi's first three soul skills combined into one in the awakened state of Xuanwu, unleashing terrifying power akin to a ten-thousand-year soul ring. A roar like that of a divine beast awakening resounded throughout the arena, and the entire Soul Arena was enveloped by this terrifying sound wave centered on Xu Sanshi.

Mu Xue felt her mind go blank, and her body felt as if it were trapped in the thickest swamp, unable to move. It was the absolute suppression from the bloodline of a divine beast!

"It's not over yet!" A cold glint flashed in Xu Sanshi's eyes, and he activated his fourth soul skill again, but this time, it was an evolution skill!

Fourth Soul Skill: Xuanming Replacement Evolution: Teleport!

Mu Xue, who had just regained her footing in the distance, suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, and the next second she was forcibly teleported directly in front of Xu Sanshi! Moreover, after being teleported, Mu Xue's body stiffened for a moment!

"It's over!" Xu Sanshi slammed down the Xuanwu Shield with a devastating force.

As the massive, dark green shield loomed larger before her, a resolute glint flashed in Mu Xue's eyes. She knew she had no way to escape, but she refused to give up so easily!

"You think you can beat me? Not so easy!"

Mu Xue let out a clear, cold shout, her originally pale blue eyes instantly turning a deep, icy blue. She forcefully squeezed out her own soul power, her fourth and fifth soul rings flashing simultaneously. Her fourth soul skill was brimming with icy power, and her fifth soul skill, Snowfield Heart Punishment, was activated!

This time, she held nothing back, transforming all her soul power into an extreme mental shock and icy chill. A visible, transparent mental ripple, carrying the chill, rushed towards Xu Sanshi.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar erupted on the Soul Arena. The divine beastly pressure brought by Xuanwu's awakening collided violently with Mu Xue's forcefully unleashed soul skill. The violent shockwave tore jagged ravines into the ground of the Soul Arena.

At the moment of impact, Mu Xue felt an overwhelming force, a sweet taste rose in her throat, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. But her tenacious resistance actually managed to block that fatal blow!

Xu Sanshi's eyes were filled with disbelief; he hadn't expected Mu Xue to be able to unleash such terrifying combat power. He roared and, taking advantage of the residual power of the awakened Xuanwu, swung his shield once more.

"Again!"

The first soul skill: Xuan Ming Zhen!

With the blessing of Xuanwu's awakening, the power of his soul skills increased exponentially. Xu Sanshi, like a war god, launched a series of powerful attacks.

Mu Xue gritted her teeth, her face as pale as paper.

With astonishing willpower, she repeatedly used ice crystal barriers and frost explosions to block and disrupt her attacks. Each collision caused excruciating pain, as if her meridians were being torn apart, and her soul power rapidly drained away like a river bursting its banks.

After a few moves, Mu Xue's soul power was exhausted, and she was almost powerless to resist anymore.

Just as Xu Sanshi was preparing to launch the final blow to end the battle, a sudden change occurred.

The originally dazzling dark green light emanating from his body suddenly flickered violently a few times, then dimmed at a visible speed. The time for the Black Tortoise to awaken had arrived!

The terrifying pressure from the divine beast dissipated instantly, and Xu Sanshi felt completely exhausted, as if all his strength had been drained. The Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield in his hand also became extremely heavy, and he almost dropped it.

He staggered forward a few steps, but his final, deadly strike only landed limply on the ground in front of Mu Xue, kicking up a cloud of dust, but it could no longer cause any harm to her.

Mu Xue collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, her chest heaving weakly and rapidly. Her soul power was completely exhausted; she didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

Xu Sanshi was also kneeling on the ground, his face as pale as paper, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and his clothes soaked with sweat. Forcibly activating the Xuanwu Awakening, coupled with the high-intensity bursts of power just now, had placed a tremendous burden on his body and mind.

The two looked at each other and saw a deep shock in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Tian Sha Douluo announced: "Mu Xue versus Xu Sanshi, it's a draw. Next, please welcome the second contestant from Di'ao Academy and the third contestant from Shrek Academy to the stage."

Jiang Peng quickly went on stage to help Mu Xue down, and Vina immediately began to help Mu Xue with her recovery treatment.

Huo Wu ascended the Soul Battle Stage, while He Cai Tou took the stage from Shrek Academy.

As the referee gave the order, He Caitou, standing to one side of the arena, moved his hands rapidly. In just a few breaths, twelve different types of soul-guided cannons were arranged in a fan shape in front of him, their muzzles flashing with dangerous soul power. Opposite him, Huo Wu floated quietly in mid-air, a faint orange-red fire shadow behind her appearing and disappearing, filled with an illusory and mysterious aura.

He Caitou was the first to attack. He shouted, "Try my Soul Guidance Cannon Array!" The twelve Soul Guidance Cannons roared at the same time, and the dense Soul Guidance Rays intertwined into a net of destruction, covering Huo Wu from all directions.

Faced with this terrifying barrage of firepower, Huo Wu's eyes narrowed, and her first spirit ring suddenly lit up.

First Soul Skill: Hokage Assault!

The orange-red fire shadow behind her instantly detached from her body, transforming into a streak of red light that pierced through the gaps in the soul-guided ray at an extremely tricky angle, heading straight for He Caitou. He Caitou hurriedly manipulated the turret to change direction, but the fire shadow was simply too fast, instantly closing in on him and throwing a punch.

He Caitou reacted extremely quickly; a soul tool on his body lit up, and a golden shield instantly enveloped him. The Hokage's attack struck the shield, creating ripples, but it couldn't break through. However, this brief obstruction allowed Huo Wu's true form to create distance.

Huo Wu sneered, and her second soul ring shone brightly.

Second Soul Skill: Flame Clone!

With a flicker of her figure, she split into three identical Fire Wraiths, each radiating genuine soul power fluctuations, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. The four figures launched their attacks simultaneously, causing He Caitou's soul-guided artillery array to instantly lose its target.

A glint of light flashed in He Caitou's eyes. He shouted, "Fourth Soul Skill, Soul Power Amplification Cigar!"

A cigar appeared in his mouth, and with the infusion of soul power, He Caitou's aura surged instantly. He manipulated the soul-guided turret array, no longer pursuing precise strikes, but instead indiscriminately covering the area. Dense soul-guided rays enveloped the entire arena, and the flame clones dissipated under this terrifying firepower.

Huo Wu was forced to retreat repeatedly, her clothes bearing several scorch marks from the soul-guided rays. She knew that continuing like this was extremely disadvantageous for her; she had to find He Caitou's weakness!
