Lin Fan looked at the tall, long-legged girl before him and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, you're amazing. What is your current soul power level?"

Tang Huo'er chuckled. "Haha, since the four of you are now my teammates, I'll introduce myself first as your captain."

Despite her queen-like aura and striking figure, Tang Huo'er had a cheerful personality. She immediately released her martial spirit, and five spirit rings of different colors appeared around her.

Notably, both her fourth and fifth soul rings were ten-thousand-year soul rings.

Her martial spirit consisted of eight rotating blades, each shining brightly as they spun around her in various colors.

"My name is Tang Huo'er. I'm a level 59 Control-Type Soul King and a member of the Haotian Team. From now on, I'm your captain, and the four of you will follow my lead."

As Tang Huo'er displayed her martial spirit, Lin Fan, Liu Erlong, and the other two were left stunned. A proud smile formed on her face as she saw their expressions.

"Incredible! Senior Sister, you're only eighteen years old and already at level 59?" Liu Erlong exclaimed, looking at Tang Huo'er as if she were a monster.

Shui Yue'er, standing beside them, also looked shocked. A moment later, her expression darkened slightly. Among her family's younger generation, she was the most talented, believing herself to be a top-tier genius in the soul master world. But seeing Tang Huo'er, her pride was shattered.

Lin Fan, still processing what he had just witnessed, turned to Tang Yiran. "Sister Yiran, is her martial spirit a variant of the Clear Sky Hammer?"

Tang Yiran nodded solemnly. "Yes, Huo'er's martial soul is indeed a mutated version of the Clear Sky Hammer. She inherited her father's Clear Sky Hammer but also integrated elements of her mother's martial spirit, resulting in the Clear Sky Wheel of Destruction. Each of the eight blades possesses the attack power of the Clear Sky Hammer, and with four distinct colors—deep purple, dazzling blue, crimson red, and jet black—each represents a different attack attribute."

Lin Fan was in awe. "Each blade has the power of the Clear Sky Hammer with four different attack attributes? That's equivalent to wielding multiple attribute-infused Clear Sky Hammers at once!"

Tang Yiran continued, "Correct. Many of our Haotian Sect's direct descendants possess the Clear Sky Hammer, but their attack attributes vary based on their physical affinity. Some have fire attributes, others thunder or metal attributes, and the hammer's color shifts accordingly. Huo'er's Clear Sky Wheel of Destruction possesses four attributes simultaneously, making her nearly unstoppable."

Lin Fan could only admire her strength. A martial spirit capable of offensive, defensive, and control abilities, combined with four different attack attributes, was beyond terrifying. Some defensive martial spirits might resist a single attribute, but none could withstand all four at once.

However, a thought struck him. "Why was such a powerful genius never mentioned in the original story? When Tang San returned to the sect later, her name wasn't even mentioned. Could it be that she was already gone by then? Who could have eliminated someone this powerful?"

Tang Yiran sighed. "Indeed, Huo'er's martial soul is the most powerful weapon spirit in Haotian Sect's history. But mutated martial souls are rarely passed down to the next generation. Perhaps her martial soul is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon."

Tang Huo'er waved her hand dismissively. "Alright, Sister Yiran, stop hyping me up so much. If you keep going, these four will be too scared to even fight!"

Lin Fan laughed. "Senior Sister, with you leading us, we'll just be there for decoration."

Tang Huo'er smirked. "In the Elite Soul Master Tournament, any one of us could take on an entire enemy team alone. I have no interest in facing weaklings. I won't fight until the quarterfinals—you guys handle the early rounds."

"Understood, Senior Sister. Leave the small fry to us," Lin Fan replied confidently.

The Haotian Sect's team was second only to Spirit Hall's. Apart from them, only the royal teams of the two great empires, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could pose a threat. However, Lin Fan also wondered if the elusive Demon Sect would send disciples to compete.

Tang Huo'er gestured to the two young men beside her. "Introduce yourselves to your junior brothers and sisters."

Tang Jianfeng, a level 57 Combat-Type Soul Master, released his martial spirit—the Clear Sky Hammer.

Tang Jingyu, a level 57 Support-Type Soul Master, followed suit.

Lin Fan and Liu Erlong exchanged greetings with them. Lin Fan wasn't sure how effective Haotian Flower would be as a support-type martial soul, but having two auxiliary members made for a well-balanced team.

After training, Lin Fan returned to his dormitory, eager to increase his strength before the tournament. Levels weren't everything, but they could increase his chances of winning the lottery.

"Forget it, I'll use my lottery draw now," he decided.

"Ling'er, start the draw," he called in his mind.

A familiar voice responded, "Okay, Master. Let's begin..."

A spinning wheel appeared in Lin Fan's mind, flashing various equipment and skill icons.

"...Congratulations, Master! You have obtained a permanent hero—Daji! She can be used in conjunction with your previous skin experience card."

Lin Fan was stunned. "Wait... I thought I was drawing for skills and equipment. Why did I get Daji?"

Ling'er's voice chimed in sweetly. "Master, you can obtain heroes as well. Since you're male, you can only draw skills from male heroes, but you can summon female heroes. Each hero has three active skills and one passive ability, just like in the game. Permanent heroes can be summoned anytime and upgraded. After star upgrades, their abilities will significantly improve."

"This is ridiculous… but kind of fun."

Lin Fan decided to test it. "Summon Daji!"

A brilliant light flashed, and suddenly, a beautiful fox-eared girl appeared before him, just like in the game.

"Awaiting your orders, Master," Daji said sweetly, her fluffy tail swaying.

"This system is outrageous… but it seems fun."

Curious, Lin Fan asked, "Where are you from, Daji?"

"I come from the World of Kings, Master," she replied obediently.

Ling'er added, "At one star, Daji can only engage in basic conversation and follow simple commands. She can fight for you, but her attacks won't be as powerful as your other abilities until she levels up. If she is defeated, she will return to the system and can only be summoned again after a day. Have fun, Master!"

Lin Fan smirked. Daji's damage output might not be at its peak yet, but she was still powerful. Even without magic equipment, her combo attacks were deadly.

"Alright, Daji, let's take a walk."

As they strolled through Tang Yiran's courtyard, Daji followed closely behind, occasionally repeating her game lines.

"The tail can be used for more than just tickling~"

Lin Fan chuckled. "She's like a walking, talking game character. Well, at least she can't get hurt permanently and will always respawn."

Meanwhile, in Wuhun City – Pope's Palace

Bibi Dong sat meditating in her chambers, preparing for the upcoming tournament. Though she was pregnant, there were no visible signs yet.

"The Elite Soul Master Tournament's arena blocks all spiritual detection. This is my last chance to escape. Everything depends on this one opportunity," she thought.

Suddenly, a voice called out from outside. "My dear disciple, how is your training going?"

Chihiro Ji entered, clad in golden armor.

Bibi Dong's expression turned cold. "Why are you here?"

Chihiro Ji smirked. "I bring good news. We've found an external spirit bone for you—the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings. Once absorbed, they will enhance your speed and agility, allowing you to evade Tang Huo'er's attacks in the tournament."

Bibi Dong remained silent. She had used the search for an external spirit bone as an excuse to escape before. She never expected Spirit Hall to actually find one.

Chihiro Ji narrowed his eyes. "You must not only defeat her this year, but kill her. If the Clear Sky Wheel of Destruction evolves beyond level 70, it will become unstoppable. Killing her in the finals is your mission. The external spirit bone is your reward.
