Gu Yuena held the Silver Dragon Spear upright in front of her, gave a slight nod as a form of salute,then said in a spirited tone:
"Outside the arena, we are inseparable sisters. But once we step onto this stage, we are opponents.
I won't hold back, and I hope you won't have any reservations either. Let's have a fair and upright battle."
"Of course."
Qian Renxue also nodded lightly, battle intent flashing in her eyes as well.
Nangong Lingyun was the undisputed greatest genius of this era—but who ranked second had never been conclusively determined, even up to today.
The Heavenly Kingdom Soul Master Tournament had an extremely special competition system. In the preliminaries, anyone whose soul power exceeded a certain level did not need to participate and was automatically advanced. In the group stage, seed-level contestants were deliberately distributed into different zones.Even in the elimination rounds, the officials would first create a list based on soul power, martial souls, soul rings, soul bones, self-created combat techniques, and past battle records,then match first against last, second against second-to-last. Until the very end, true powerhouses would not clash with each other.
For both of them to reach this point, their paths had naturally been filled with uninterrupted victories, crushing every opponent they faced.
Precisely because of this special system,today's match was filled with suspense—and even more with spectacle—making countless spectators anticipate it to the extreme.
During this period, many newspapers published lengthy analyses,and numerous Titled Douluo also voiced their opinions, yet the end result only made the outcome even more uncertain.
Qian Renxue's martial soul was slightly inferior, but she possessed divine trials, divine power, and divine techniques. Her soul rings appeared not strong enough, yet she also had soul spirits and soul bones to make up for it.
They were evenly matched. Even the slightest unexpected factor could decide the final victor. Even Nangong Lingyun himself could not guarantee his judgment.
A moment later, Bo Saixi—temporarily serving as referee—announced the start of the match.
Qian Renxue's fifth soul ring instantly lit up. An energy greatsword more than ten meters long appeared before her and viciously slashed toward Gu Yuena's head.
At the same time, the Sun Bird and the Light Goddess Butterfly exerted themselves, flying toward the left and right flanks respectively, constantly launching feints along the way, attempting to form a multi-directional encirclement.
All three soul spirits had been personally selected and attached by Nangong Lingyun. Not only were they perfectly compatible with her abilities, their bloodlines were also extremely rare, with tremendous growth potential.
The Silver Dragon King's response was far simpler.
With a light sweep of her silver spear, a massive pale-blue water sphere emerged around her body, completely enveloping her.
Whether flames, light, giant swords, or anything else,when striking it, they could only cause it to sway or lose part of its water, which was quickly replenished. Aside from consuming a small amount of soul power, Qian Renxue's first wave of attacks achieved nothing.
Possessing water, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, space, creation, and destruction—nine elemental attributes—along with the Yin–Yang mutual generation cultivation of the Longevity Art,
when facing the vast majority of opponents, she could easily find abilities that specifically targeted and restrained their weaknesses.
At this moment, Nangong Lingyun had returned to the stands.
Beside him sat Angel Yan, Qian Daoliu, and Bibi Dong. Behind them were Titled Douluo from all sects—Sword and Bone Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen, Xu Tianming, and many others.
Not long after the fight began, Qian Daoliu chuckled and asked:
"Your Majesty, which side do you think has the higher chance of winning this match?"
"Hard to say. Fifty-fifty. I can't predict it either."
"Then in your heart, do you hope Xue'er wins, or Na'er?"
"They are both my wings. There's no higher or lower. Whoever wins is fine—losing doesn't mean anything either."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately rolled her eyes.
Although she had regained her clarity, her heart felt no better at all.
The two most important people in her life—her daughter and her disciple—had both been taken by Nangong Lingyun. And even with his massive harem, they remained unwaveringly devoted.
This made her feel that they were just like she had once been—hopelessly love-struck.The deeper the love and obsession now, the greater the pain would be if they were ever neglected or even abandoned one day.
Yet her relationship with her daughter had only just been repaired, making it impossible to persuade her. She had tried to advise her disciple twice, only to be suspected of favoritism, and now she dared not try again.
She worried every day, barely managing to ease her distress by finding new ways to torment Prison Xiao Gang.
Qian Daoliu asked again:
"I heard that whoever wins today will be established as Empress?"
Nangong Lingyun's brow instantly twitched, and his face darkened on the spot.
"Who did you hear that nonsense from? Absolutely not."
Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had only been established for one year, various factions and cliques had already begun to take shape—or rather, they were originally different sects forcibly fused together. Expecting true harmony was a joke.
Among all these disputes, the competition over the Empress position was the fiercest.
Angel Yan never involved herself in such matters.
Among the rest, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu naturally supported their good daughter and good granddaughter, Qian Renxue.
However, with two Extreme Douluo plus the former Spirit Hall's foundation, their pressure and presence were simply too overwhelming. This backfired instead, causing the remaining forces—led by the Sun-Moon imperial family—to unite in support of Gu Yuena.
The Sun-Moon Empire's Supreme Emperor Xu Tianling was an Extreme Douluo. In addition, Gu Yuena had now clearly confirmed she would inherit the Life God King position, and the Destruction God King's High Priest Long Wuxing also supported her. Their momentum was not weak in the slightest.
This was precisely why the atmosphere of this match was so explosive.
Both women were absolutely loyal to Nangong Lingyun, and out of respect for his wishes, they would not resort to despicable or bottomless tactics. But in a dignified contest between gentlemen, neither would yield an inch.
And beyond the two of them,
there were also Tsunade supported by Bo Saixi, Dugu Yan supported by Dugu Bo, Ning Rongrong supported by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Shui Bing'er who had obtained the Ice God's inheritance, Huo Wu with the Fire God's inheritance, Ah Yin—who had been the first to become pregnant and was about to give birth to the eldest son—and many others.
Calling it a tangled mess would be an understatement.
Seeing Nangong Lingyun angry, Qian Daoliu hurriedly took out a newspaper from his robes and explained:
"I saw it written in here."
"Speculation from tabloid rags. Establishing an Empress is a matter of national importance—there's no way it would be decided so hastily.
Moreover, I won't be making a real decision anytime soon."
As they spoke,
the battle on the arena had already reached a white-hot stage.
After her probing attacks failed, Qian Renxue directly unleashed Angel God techniques and began a full assault.Her opponent's recovery and defense were absurdly powerful—dragging it out would only get her worn down to death. She had to end it quickly, doing everything possible to break through the defenses at the extreme limit.
Gu Yuena understood just as clearly.
She needed to obtain her ninth soul ring and bring out the destruction attribute bonus before she could possess formidable offensive power. Other flashy combinations of water, fire, earth, and wind posed no fundamental threat to a Six-Winged Angel.
Her greatest reliance at the moment was the creation attribute of her eighth soul ring.
Thus, she did everything possible to evade and defend.
The terrifying collisions of soul power had turned the arena into a massive crater, with golden flames burning endlessly even atop the soil.
If not for Angel Yan providing a spatial barrier, how many spectators would still be alive would be hard to say.
