Seeing that both sides were ready, Ye Wen shouted, "Begin!"

Hu Rou launched the first attack. As expected of a rabbit-type martial soul known for its jumping ability, she combined it with the instantaneous burst of Instant Step and arrived in front of Chen Youyu in the blink of an eye.

"How could it be so fast!"

Although he had seen Huo Quan unleash the speed of Instant Step in the Soul Arena yesterday, he never expected that this little sister, who was just a Great Soul Master, could also reach such a level. In a panic, he could only instinctively swing the broken sword in his hand to counterattack.

"Ding!"

Although most of Hu Rou's attacks are centered on her legs, this time she chose to use her fists. Her powerful fists, combined with her soul power, gave off a pink glow, but their hardness was comparable to that of iron.

Feeling the powerful force emanating from the sword, Chen Youyu's expression changed. Instead of taking the hit head-on, she immediately used her limbs to cushion the blow and turned her body to avoid the attack.

Realizing that if they didn't make a move soon, they would only be able to passively take a beating, since their opponent was a beast soul master who was most skilled in close combat.

"First Soul Skill: Sword Qi"

In the instant they shifted positions, Chen Youyu decisively chose to attack, unleashing a streak of cyan sword energy.

Hu Rou was not alarmed by this. Instead, she smiled brightly, exerted force with her legs, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Hu Rou reappeared behind Chen Youyu and kicked out.

Although she had become somewhat accustomed to the high-paced combat, Chen Youyu found it extremely difficult. After all, her level was what it was, and her martial soul was not a beast martial soul that enhanced physical reaction capabilities.

"Second Soul Skill: Whispering Wind"

Increase overall speed by 20%.

Using this soul skill, Chen Youyu narrowly avoided Hu Rou's attack and chose to launch a fierce counterattack. Since her soul power was less than Hu Rou's, a prolonged battle would be at a disadvantage for her. She could only choose to finish the battle quickly and defeat the enemy before exhausting her.

The sharp sword energy kept flying out. Although it was far less terrifying than Ah Ba's net of blades yesterday, it was still extremely fierce and not at all the level of an ordinary Great Soul Master.

It seems that birds of a feather flock together. Although Chen Youyu's talent is not as good as A Ba's, he is still a promising talent, Ye Wen commented silently from the side.

But how could Chen Youyu, who came from a self-taught background, possibly compare to Hu Rou, who cultivated through a systematic approach?

Although several sword energies touched Hu Rou, she deflected them with her hard, resilient style.

"Damn it! Is this the difference between an ordinary person and a genius? I've already used both of my soul skills, but my opponent didn't even use a single one before exhausting my soul power. I'm sorry, Myna, it seems I won't be able to cultivate alongside you."

Panting heavily, Chen Youyu thought this with resentment, and was about to admit defeat.

Ye Wen, who had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, said, "You have passed Chen Youyu's test. From now on, you are my disciple."

"Huh?!" This sudden recognition left Chen Youyu somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, Hu Rou also gave up fighting with Chen Youyu and ran to Ye Wen's side with a flattering look, saying with a smile.

"Master, is my acting okay?"

Seeing the little girl's smug look, he rubbed her bunny ears and said...

"Look how smug you are. Isn't this what you should do? Or do you want to practice extra like your second senior brother?"

"Waaaaah~ I'm ignoring you now, you stinky master, I'm going to find my mistress."

Hu Rou, whose sensitive ear was touched, twisted shyly and ran away. Huo Quan, who was undergoing hellish training nearby, clearly couldn't bear to watch.

Chen Youyu then realized what was happening. That's right, the other party had a soul power level eight above hers and was a personally trained disciple who had been taught by the other party for many years. How could someone like her, who was a self-taught fighter, possibly fight the other party for so long? The other party must have held back, just like Huo Quan did with Scarface yesterday.

At this moment, Ye Wen turned his gaze to the other side of Dou Hun.

"Young man, stop slacking off. Your sister has passed my test. If you fail, it will be too embarrassing."

Just like Hu Rou and Chen Youyu were locked in a fierce battle, Dugu Xin and A Ba were also locked in a fierce fight, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Upon hearing Ye Wen's words, A Ba's smile widened, and he used his first two soul skills for the first time, even though he hadn't used any before.

First Soul Skill: Thunder Blade

Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Movement.

Just like yesterday when Huo Quan used his fists to fight A Ba head-on, Dugu Xin also chose to use his hard-style fist techniques to fight A Ba head-on.

"This guy actually dared to play me?! I was originally going to go easy on you and not seriously injure you, but you'd better stay in bed for a while." Dugu Xin thought angrily.

The fist, which was originally straightforward, became unpredictable, as if countless pythons were writhing there.

At this moment, Chen Youyu walked to Ye Wen's side. Although she was a little tired, she still respectfully bowed to Ye Wen and called out, "Master."

Ye Wen readily accepted the situation, saying, "You have a good older brother. He was just saying that if you don't pass, he won't pass either."

As the person who knows Ah Ba best, Chen Youyu understood perfectly well that Ah Ba had actually been holding back all along and observing his own battle, and she said with a serene smile.

"Yes, my brother is just that silly. He always wants to take care of me, but he can't put on airs. He always looks so fierce, but his heart is actually gentler than anyone else's."

ummm

I can tell he's nice to you, but as for his gentleness... well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so Ye Wen doesn't intend to dwell on it.

Freed from the restriction of using poison, Dugu Xin's physical talent was also revealed. After all, in this world, the Jade Scale Serpent is originally a dragon species, and its enhancement to the body, in addition to flexibility, is definitely not lacking in strength. In terms of practicing boxing techniques, his talent is, in some ways, even higher than Huo Quan's.

Dugu Xin is currently using his self-created soul skill, the Mad Python Assault Fist.

Combining Ye Wen's previous life's snake fist with the Dugu family's unique understanding of snakes, the soul power wrapped around his hands transformed into venomous pythons that frantically pounced on A Ba.

However, like a berserker, A-Ba dared to attack even if the Soul Masters were far superior to him, let alone these mere illusionary pythons.

They were hacking and slashing wildly there, looking from a distance like a group of pythons striking at crimson lightning.

"it's over!"

Just as Dugu Xin was frantically waving his arms, trying to find a weakness in the person in front of him, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

A broken knife was held to his neck.

"When? I lost?!" Dugu Xin asked in disbelief.
