Five Finger Force

"Stay here, I'll be right back," Xiao Yan said with a smile, patting Xiao Xue's head.

Xiao Xue also smiled. "Hurry back, we still have the second team's battle to watch."

Xiao Yan nodded and walked toward the Soul Battle Stage.

Soul Masters like Zhu Zhuqing, though their strength was average, made it difficult for Xiao Yan to find a suitable opponent, given his own strength.

However, by carefully observing and thoughtfully experiencing, he could still gain some experience from low-level battles.

Two new faces appeared, and one of them was a woman with an overly voluptuous figure. The cheers from the audience had already begun before the battle even started.

Zhu Zhuqing had a graceful posture, a tall and slender figure with beautiful curves, and a delicate, oval face with exquisite features. Aside from her somewhat cold expression, she was practically a perfect gift from the heavens.

Her raven hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, simple and elegant. Her swan-like, graceful, and slender neck possessed an indescribable elegance. Her shoulders were like sculpted blades, and her waist was slender and captivating.

She wore a black, form-fitting leather outfit. The clothes clung tightly to her body, perfectly suited for a nimble-attack Soul Master like Zhu Zhuqing, revealing a graceful figure that was indescribably alluring.

Her icy demeanor and her devilish figure were a contradictory combination, making her the focus of attention for many men in the stands.

Even Xiao Yan, who was proficient in medicine, couldn't understand how Zhu Zhuqing had grown so quickly. He could only reluctantly attribute it to her superior genes.

The host briefly introduced the names and Martial Souls of both parties and then signaled that their Soul Battle could begin.

The battle started, and Xiao Yan immediately cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, becoming completely focused.

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "Give it your all. Let me see the difference between us."

Having witnessed Xiao Yan's displayed strength firsthand, Zhu Zhuqing was particularly curious to know how much difference there was between them, both being Soul Grand Masters.

"Since you asked so nicely, I'll allow it!"

Xiao Yan touched his nose. This request was actually a bit tricky.

He was truly worried that if he used his full strength, he might just slap Zhu Zhuqing to death from a distance.

If Zhu Zhuqing knew she'd die so miserably, he wondered if she'd regret it?

After her Martial Soul was unleashed, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes changed color simultaneously, left eye ink green, right eye clear blue. A pair of cute cat ears perked up slightly, and with a flick of her ten fingers, sharp claw-like nails shot out from her palms.

She lowered her body, staring coldly at Xiao Yan, as if she were looking at her prey.

Two yellow Soul Rings appeared on her body at the same time, their cold and sharp aura bringing a suffocating sensation.

Xiao Yan adjusted his strength, preparing to let Zhu Zhuqing have a taste.

Watching Xiao Yan standing his ground, Zhu Zhuqing grew increasingly anxious. Her body suddenly launched forward, leaving a trail of afterimages as she charged at Xiao Yan head-on.

At this moment, most of the audience was no longer just focused on Zhu Zhuqing's appearance.

This pretty girl's speed was truly impressive. As an agile-attack Soul Master, she was undoubtedly formidable.

Xiao Yan raised his arm and unleashed a palm strike of pure power towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Buzz! An invisible pressure of wind rushed directly towards Zhu Zhuqing's face, swift and silent, leaving no trace. It gave her absolutely no time to react.

Even from a distance of more than ten meters, Zhu Zhuqing felt a tremendous force. The air seemed to be scattered by the palm strike, and the powerful wind pressure made it difficult for her to breathe.

After the single palm strike, Xiao Yan withdrew his hand.

Another strike, and he would likely have killed Zhu Zhuqing.

The terrifying palm force pushed Zhu Zhuqing relentlessly towards the edge of the Soul Battle Stage. A few more meters, and she would likely fall off, repeating Qingbao's fate from the previous match.

Her first soul ring shimmered. Zhu Zhuqing pressed herself flat against the Soul Battle Stage, her sharp claws digging into the surface.

Normally, activating this first soul skill would double her speed, allowing her to swiftly attack an enemy.

In this situation, she could only rely on the skill's power to desperately cling to the Soul Battle Stage.

The friction between her sharp claws and the hard Soul Battle Stage created a grating sound.

Zhu Zhuqing's retreat slowed dramatically.

Xiao Yan frowned, surprised by the girl's resilience.

Although he hadn't used his full strength with that palm strike, it was still more than an ordinary Soul Grand Master could withstand.

If it were a regular Soul Grand Master, they would likely have surrendered to the suffocating palm force and allowed themselves to be knocked off the stage.

Zhu Zhuqing felt the force impacting her body gradually dissipate, and her second soul ring immediately activated.

Pushing her speed to the limit, Zhu Zhuqing's body left a trail of afterimages, countless claw shadows weaving into a terrifying net of sharp blades.

Xiao Yan glanced at it briefly, and a sudden thought struck him. He sidestepped to the left, raised his hand, and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm, instantly breaking her soul skill.

"The Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul isn't used like this."

After watching Zhu Zhuqing use her Martial Soul, her fingernails became elongated. Xiao Yan raised his hand and pressed or tapped on her arm, finally reaching her shoulder, where he gave a firm pat.

Zhu Zhuqing only felt a powerful force within her arm, wanting to be unleashed. Her five fingers instinctively transformed into claws, aiming towards the Soul Battle Stage.

With a sudden tremor of her palm, five streams of energy shot out, forcibly creating five bright holes in the iron Soul Battle Stage.

"This is my power?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xiao Yan, somewhat puzzled.

The instant the five streams of force shot out, she felt a large portion of her soul power drain away.

While the power was not insignificant, the consumption was also enormous.

Xiao Yan looked at the peanut-sized hole on the Soul Battle Stage and shook his head, "So-so."

Since his inner strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, the skills he had spent half his childhood on, the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, had now shifted to the martial arts in his hands.

Hidden weapons were just toys for children to him.

The Six Meridians Divine Sword, the Six Meridians Convergence: Silent Sword, and Flying Waterfall Fury Tide – these were where the majority of his strength lay.

Therefore, he had some unique insights into the martial arts he wielded.

However, the martial art he had just used at will was indeed not very powerful.

"I lost," Zhu Zhuqing said, dropping those simple three words before immediately turning and walking off the Soul Battle Stage.

Xiao Yan's strength was simply too great, and he was incredibly clever, capable of casually using skills even more powerful than soul techniques.

Xiao Yan didn't pay any attention to Zhu Zhuqing; his thoughts were already focused on this claw technique martial skill.

After pondering for a while, seeing someone else go up on stage, Xiao Yan slowly left.

When Xiao Yan walked out of the Soul Master passage, Xiao Xue had already been waiting at the exit for a long time.
