The pace of the competition was swift.

After a few rounds, it was Xiao Luo's turn to take the stage.

Xiao Luo, a 36th-level Agility Attack Soul Master, frequently guided by Feng Xiaotian, was quite confident in battles of the same level.

After several dozen rounds of combat, Xiao Luo defeated his opponent and achieved his first victory.

Next up was Huo Wushuang.

Huo Wushuang faced an opponent who was a 45th-level Soul Master, with a significantly higher soul power.

However, the opponent's spirit was a plant-type vine, which was naturally weak against fire.

So, Huo Wushuang was somewhat fortunate.

After a fierce battle, he also secured a final victory.

Unknowingly, the tenth one-on-one match in the Soul Arena was approaching its end.

Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er had yet to take the stage, but it was coming soon.

With the previous three teammates winning, Shui Yue'er, who was already nervous, felt even more anxious.

At just fifteen or sixteen years old and participating in a one-on-one match for the first time, she was not accustomed to so much attention.

Moreover, she was the youngest and had the lowest level among the seven-member team, currently at level 35.

So, she felt a bit insecure.

"Please have the next contestants Shui Yue'er and Wang Bo prepare. You will be on stage in one minute."

Finally, it was Shui Yue'er's turn.

Shui Bing'er patted her sister's shoulder and encouraged her:

"Yue'er, don't be nervous. Just perform as you usually do. Didn't Grandpa Feng say that the result tonight doesn't matter? Just find your rhythm on stage first."

"Mm."

"Good luck!"

"Good luck!"

Everyone encouraged Shui Yue'er.

Feng Xiaotian also offered his encouragement:

"We are a team. Regardless of the outcome, we are all here to support you and face it together. Just keep your own pace; we believe in you!"

Shui Yue'er smiled slightly, nodding, and seemed to gain some confidence.

"Mm, thank you all. I'm heading out now!"

After Shui Yue'er spoke, she walked towards the Soul Arena stage.

The host announced:

"Next, we will have the 12th match of the tenth one-on-one Soul Arena duel. The contestants are two Soul Masters.

They are Shui Yue'er, the 36th-level Soul Master with the Beast Spirit Soul of the Crystal Dolphin, and Wang Bo, the 45th-level Soul Master with the Weapon Spirit Soul of the Iron Scythe.

In the clash between Beast Spirit Souls and Weapon Spirit Souls, who will emerge victorious? Let's welcome the two Soul Masters to the stage!"

The audience in the stands erupted in cheers.

This was the first appearance of a Beast Spirit Soul versus a Weapon Spirit Soul in tonight's tenth Soul Arena match.

A young man stepped onto the Soul Arena stage.

He appeared to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, not very tall, about 1.7 meters.

He had an average build, neither fat nor thin.

His appearance was quite ordinary, without any particularly striking features.

Standing in the crowd, he looked like an average passerby.

He stood on stage with an impassive expression, showing no signs of intimidation or any gestures towards his opponent.

He seemed unremarkable, but often such opponents were the most formidable.

Xiao Luo felt a bit worried for Shui Bing'er.

"A Soul Master with a Weapon Spirit Soul is not easy to handle!"

"You're right, but I believe in Yue'er."

Shui Bing'er was confident in her sister's abilities.

Feng Xiaotian had not yet seen Shui Yue'er in action but knew she was very talented and promising as an Agility Attack Soul Master. He was unsure about her exact strength.

This time, she was facing an opponent with a Weapon Spirit Soul, and defeating him might not be that simple.

Beast Spirit Souls and Weapon Spirit Souls each have their own advantages and characteristics.

Weapon Spirit Souls manifest as weapons and excel in defense, offense, assassination, and brute strength. As their soul power advances to later stages, Weapon Spirit Souls become more versatile and specialized.

Beast Spirit Soul Masters can directly attach their spirit to their body, providing them with powerful defenses and a range of abilities, giving them absolute suppressive power. In the early stages, the diverse abilities of Beast Spirit Souls, due to the varied nature of beasts, offer considerable advantages.

However, as they reach higher levels, the disadvantage of having many abilities but lacking specialization becomes apparent. Thus, below level 30, Beast Spirit Soul Masters generally hold an advantage over Weapon Spirit Soul Masters.

Beyond level 30, the strength of these two categories of Soul Masters depends on their individual development.

The two competitors about to duel are both in their thirties in terms of levels, so the outcome is still uncertain.

Shui Yue'er walked up to the stage.

With her tall figure, dark green hair, and youthful face, she immediately attracted a lot of attention from the audience.

"Wow! Here comes another young girl."

"This girl looks even younger than the fiery one before, probably only fifteen or sixteen."

"Despite her young age, she's a Soul Master; her strength shouldn't be underestimated."

"Yeah, don't underestimate her. Remember the girl who won with one move?"

The audience grew increasingly excited.

Although Shui Yue'er was also a girl, she appeared much gentler than Huo Wu. Her younger age made her more endearing and elicited protective sentiments from many spectators, which helped her feel more at ease.

Wang Bo looked at Shui Yue'er, first taken aback, then said dismissively:

"Little girl, how old are you? This isn't a place for someone like you. Go home and come back when you're grown up."

Shui Yue'er responded with a smile:

"Wasn't that big guy defeated by a girl just now? Have you forgotten?"

"Pfft! I'm not like that muscle-bound simpleton!"

Wang Bo's disdainful expression as he insulted Liu Gang made Shui Yue'er a bit annoyed.

Although the big guy lost to Huo Wu, he was polite and humble. In contrast, Wang Bo's attitude was arrogant even before the fight started.

"Who do you think you're looking down on? Show me what you've got; I'm not afraid of you!"

"Oh? Then let me show you the power of my Iron Scythe!"

Wang Bo declared, showing off his soul rings: two yellow and one purple, the best configuration.

Not to be outdone, Shui Yue'er also revealed her soul rings, similarly configured with two yellow and one purple.

When Shui Yue'er became serious, she resembled her sister Shui Bing'er in demeanor, showing a stark contrast to her previously meek appearance.

The audience was once again thrilled.

Some shouted loudly to cheer Shui Yue'er on.

Wang Bo sneered coldly.

"This is a Soul Arena, not a game. I won't go easy on you just because you're a girl!"

"Watch out!"

He activated his first soul skill, Flying Scythe.
