They were all dressed in light blue, tight-fitting team uniforms that accentuated their graceful figures. The seven stunning beauties, each with their own unique style, standing together were a beautiful sight on the field.

However, on this side of the ring...

Representing the "Royal Fighting Team Two" was only Xuan Hao!

He stood alone at the edge of the spacious arena, hands in his pockets, yawning lazily. The passage behind him was empty; Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the other team members were nowhere to be seen.

What's going on?

"Where are the rest of the Royal Fighting Team? Why is he the only one here?"

Just as the audience was completely confused, DouDou, the chief host of this competition, flew over from mid-air, flapping her white wings and holding a megaphone to explain things to everyone.

"Dear audience, please be quiet! I'd like to explain the special situation on the field."

DouDou's sweet voice echoed throughout the arena: "Because the captain of the Royal Fighting Team 2, Xuan Hao, is far too strong, in order to ensure the relative fairness and entertainment value of the competition, His Highness Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has specially formulated a special rule for his appearance!"

"In the upcoming preliminary rounds, if the opposing academy chooses to challenge Xuan Hao, then Xuan Hao will be the sole representative, facing off against the opponent's full seven-person team alone!"

"If the opponent feels that the strength is too disparate and does not want to fight him, then Xuan Hao will not be allowed to go on stage, and other members of the Royal Fighting Team 2 will go on stage to conduct a normal team battle."

"And every team that comes after this will have this choice once when facing Royal Fighting Team 2!"

DouDou smiled and stretched out her hand, pointing to the arena below:

"Clearly, the brave Tianshui Academy team chose to face this powerful Soul Saint head-on in their first match! Let's give them the warmest applause for their courage!"

Upon hearing this explanation, the entire audience erupted in uproar, followed by thunderous applause and screams.

One against seven!

A Soul Saint takes on an entire elite team composed of Soul Masters and Soul Venerables!

This kind of exaggerated drama that only exists in legends is actually going to be staged at the opening ceremony!

Meanwhile, on the high platform...

Looking down at Xuan Hao, who was alone facing seven delicate and beautiful women, Emperor Xueye's expression turned somewhat strange.

As the ruler of a nation, he naturally knew that these girls from Tianshui Academy were rare water-attribute geniuses in the empire, and they were also very beautiful. If they were to be injured or disfigured, it would not only be a pity, but it would also have a bad influence.

"This……"

Emperor Xueye frowned, turned to look at Ning Fengzhi beside him, his tone tinged with worry and hesitation.

"Sect Master Ning, the members of the Tianshui team are all delicate girls. Xuan Hao... should know his place and not hurt them too badly on stage, right?"

Upon hearing Emperor Xueye's question, which was filled with hopeful anticipation, Ning Fengzhi's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and his eyes twitched violently twice.

To use excessive force?

Does that kid even have the words "show mercy" or "cherish the beauty" in his dictionary?

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, put down his teacup, and looked at the bully below the stage who was rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

"Your Majesty, don't you know? Xuanhao never cares about such things when he hits people..."

Chapter 335 Qi and Blood Like Yang

……

As both teams took their positions, the atmosphere in the Great Battle Arena instantly reached its peak.

According to the traditional rules of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, before the official start of the match, the captains of both sides need to walk to the center of the arena, bow to each other, and announce their names and soul power levels. This is considered to continue the chivalrous spirit and etiquette of the ancient soul master competition.

Xuan Hao strolled leisurely towards the center of the arena.

On the other side, Shui Bing'er, the captain of Tianshui Academy, also walked over with her younger sister Shui Yue'er, taking a deep breath and striding straight over.

However, when the two sides finally stood face to face in the center of the arena, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er couldn't help but hold their breath for a moment.

It wasn't until they faced this legendary "humanoid beast" up close that they truly realized the oppressive feeling of being face-to-face was completely different from watching it from a distance in the rest area!

Even though Xuan Hao did nothing at this moment, and because of Xue Qinghe's repeated warnings, he had deliberately restrained the violent soul power fluctuations on his body.

However, top-tier beast soul masters, especially those peerless ferocious beasts with true dragon bloodlines, even if they just stand there calmly, their massive and upright bodies and innate cold and fierce aura still exude a terrifying sense of oppression that makes people's hearts tremble!

However, this oppressive feeling that chills ordinary soul masters to the bone produces a strange and subtle chemical reaction in the eyes of these girls who are just beginning to experience love.

This is like a fierce and strong male lion, which is an extremely dangerous and terrifying presence that must be avoided in the eyes of other male lions;

But in the eyes of the lioness, this male, who exudes absolute power and domineering aura, also radiates a wild and charming attraction!

Looking at Xuan Hao, who was so close yet so handsome, with an almost otherworldly appearance and such a domineering aura, Shui Yue'er's big, light blue eyes almost sparkled with pink stars.

Xuan Hao bowed slightly, performing the aristocratic etiquette that Tang Yuehua had personally taught him in perfect form.

"Royal Fighting Team Two, Xuan Hao. Level 79, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Saint."

Faced with this terrifying sense of oppression, Shui Bing'er forced herself to steady her mind and, imitating Xuan Hao, slightly curtsied.

"Tianshui Academy, Shui Bing'er. Level 43, Control-type Battle Soul Master."

As soon as Shui Bing'er finished speaking, Shui Yue'er, who was standing to the side, suddenly took half a step forward impatiently, raised her pretty little face, and introduced herself in a sickeningly sweet voice:

"Tianshui Academy, Shui Yue'er. Level 36, Agility-based Battle Soul Master! Please guide me~"

Looking into those bright, piercing eyes that seemed to want to devour him whole, Xuan Hao knew perfectly well what dangerous things were going on in this little girl's head.

But if I dared to tease this little girl from Tianshui Academy on the stage, in front of tens of thousands of people...

After he steps down, those jealous people in the rest area will definitely team up and blow the roof off the Crown Prince's residence!

So Xuan Hao ignored Shui Yue'er's frantic hints, simply bowed his head slightly with a blank expression, and then turned around and walked back to his place in the competition without looking back.

"..."

Looking at his cold back, Shuiyue puffed out her cheeks in grievance.

As both players retreated to the baseline.

In mid-air, the host, DouDou, raised her right hand high, then swung it down sharply, her voice clear and resonant:

"I hereby declare the first round of the qualifiers officially open!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere on the stage suddenly became tense!

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"

Without any hesitation or trial and error, Shui Bing'er immediately activated the purest ice-attribute soul power within her the moment the referee announced the start.

As a genius soul master possessing the top-tier beast soul "Ice Phoenix", Shui Bing'er's soul skills are inherently extremely domineering.

Her first soul skill, "Frozen," is characterized by its instantaneous activation and relies entirely on mental power for locking onto targets!

In other words, once her mental power detects it, this freezing attack cannot be dodged with movement techniques; one can only withstand it head-on!

Xuan Hao, however, had no intention of hiding at all.

He remained standing there lazily, hands in his pockets.

"Click-clack—"

A bone-chilling cold descended instantly!

With a crisp sound of ice forming, Shui Bing'er released her extreme cold aura, which precisely enveloped Xuan Hao's body.

However, the next second, an unbelievable scene unfolded!

Shui Bing'er's instant-cast divine skill, which used to be almost invincible among her peers and even allowed her to control opponents of higher levels, was completely ineffective today!

Although a thick layer of blue ice did quickly condense around Xuan Hao, but!

If you look closely, you'll find that the bone-chilling ice, which is enough to freeze the blood of a Soul Clan member, can't actually touch Xuan Hao's body!

All the ice layers were tightly isolated several inches away by an invisible airflow that clung tightly to Xuan Hao's body surface—an extremely weak yet indestructible force!

Xuan Hao was completely unharmed, as if he were encased in a transparent, absolute defensive shield!

At this moment, in the VIP section on the high platform.

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo who had been observing from the shadows, began to twitch uncontrollably at the corner of his eye.

"My goodness...this little monster's physique is just too outrageous!"

Gu Rong whispered in Ning Fengzhi's ear, "Did you see that clearly? That's not a defensive soul skill at all! It's pure release of blood and qi!"

"His internal energy and blood have become so vigorous and violent that they have even begun to overflow from his body surface, forming a normalized energy and blood shield that does not even require him to actively consume soul power to maintain! Let alone this little Soul Master, even those Title Douluos who specialize in physical body and energy and blood could never do such a thing!"

"Just how far has this guy's physique progressed?"

At the same time, Shui Bing'er on the arena also sensed that something was wrong.

She clearly felt that although the Ice Seal Soul Skill she released had taken shape, it was as if it had been frozen on a hot iron, and it did not cut off the opponent's ability to move at all!

Before Shui Bing'er could figure out what had happened...

Trapped in the center of the ice, Xuan Hao didn't even release his martial spirit; he merely slightly circulated the dormant, volcanic-like power of his blood and qi within his body.

"boom--!"

A dull thud!

The incredibly hard layer of extreme ice surrounding him was like fragile glass, instantly shattered from the inside out by a terrifying force, turning into countless tiny ice crystals!

As the ice layer shattered, a surge of vital energy that had been suppressed within Xuan Hao's body finally dissipated along with the ice crystals!

"What...what is this?!"

Sensing the invisible force rushing towards them, the seven girls from the Tianshui team opposite them instantly changed their expressions and couldn't help but take a step back at the same time.

Heatwave!

An extremely violent and terrifying heatwave that could practically bake a person dry!

Shui Bing'er stared intently at the boy dozens of meters away who hadn't moved a single finger, a bead of cold sweat forming on her forehead.

"What the hell... Is this even human?!"

"He didn't use any soul skills, nor even activate his martial soul! Yet, just a wisp of his blood energy overflowing outwards was enough to create a scorching heat wave on this arena that could repel the ice and snow?!"
