Dugu Yan was completely stunned. Her Bilin Snake Poison had actually been absorbed by someone?
It wasn't just Dugu Yan—behind her, Ye Lingling and the Shi family brothers, who were ready to quickly take the antidote, all looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief.
What kind of monster was this?
Among them, the most shocked was Qin Ming on the high platform.
Even with his Soul Emperor level strength, he hadn't noticed how Xiao Yan had moved.
"Could it be an instant teleportation soul skill? I don't see any soul rings… Could it be a soul bone skill? But the glow from that big tree might have hidden the light when the soul bone skill was activated…"
Apart from how Xiao Yan moved, Qin Ming was also stunned by Xiao Yan's ability to absorb poison.
This wasn't ordinary poison from mice or mosquitoes. It was the Bilin Snake Poison, an extremely potent toxin that would make most Soul Masters kneel.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't intervene?" Seeing Xiao Yan, Zhu Zhuqing steadied herself.
Xiao Yan smiled. "That was just talk. How could I not care about your lives? That poison—most Soul Sect members couldn't resist it for long."
Ye Lingling quickly reacted, her soul rings flashing. "Nine-Heart Begonia!"
A faint fragrance accompanied a white light descending from the sky. The light looked unusual—petal-shaped, gently falling directly onto the Shi family brothers lying on the ground.
After a brief tremor, their pierced shoulders quickly healed.
So powerful? Xiao Yan focused on Ye Lingling in the distance.
In her hands, she held a red begonia made of white and pink petals. The flowers were vibrant, elegant, and exquisite.
Leaves and vines slid down from Ye Lingling's palms, swaying gently in the wind, as graceful as a lady with hair covering her face—soft, affectionate, and poised.
At this moment, the purple glow on her body had just faded. That white, petal-shaped light from earlier was clearly her millennium soul ring skill.
With a careful perception, Xiao Yan gained a deeper understanding of Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia—a pure and gentle, extraordinary soul power.
Soon, the Shi family brothers had climbed to their feet. Aside from a large consumption of soul power, they were unharmed.
Xiao Yan felt the fight was nearly over and lowered his head to Zhu Zhuqing. "Divide and cooperate. You three, me one."
With her third soul ring flashing, Zhu Zhuqing used Shadow Pursuit Step—speed at the extreme. Crushing Claws activated, and the two recently healed Shi family brothers were severely injured again.
Falling onto the cold arena, the brothers exchanged glances without tears. Why did you even heal us!? o(╥﹏╥)o
At this moment, Xiao Yan reached Ye Lingling's back, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"When did…?" Feeling the burning palm, Ye Lingling's heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Yan whispered, "Don't move. As a support soul master, you're no match for me."
Ye Lingling closed her eyes and withdrew her martial spirit. "Let go. I won't release my healing soul skill anyway."
But Xiao Yan ignored her, sending internal force into her body, quickly inspecting her system.
He was curious about the Nine-Heart Begonia soul skill.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!" A tingling sensation surged through her body, and Ye Lingling cried out.
Xiao Yan reluctantly withdrew his hand. After further inspection, he found her body healthy, no ailments.
"At the genetic level, my medical skills aren't enough?"Xiao Yan wondered, looking at his palm.
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing, with her speed, pressed her sharp claws against Dugu Yan's throat.
"It seems your main attack is poison. Other combat abilities are average." Easily subduing Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing was slightly surprised.
Dugu Yan snorted coldly. "If no one could resist my Bilin Snake Poison, how could you have defeated me so easily?"
"This is a team battle. Without teammates, it would be even easier to deal with you." Saying this, Zhu Zhuqing swung her arm, striking five bright holes in the arena floor.
"You!" Though Dugu Yan still resisted internally, she didn't dare argue further.
The arena was built to withstand Soul Master level attacks, and even soul skills would rarely cause damage. Yet this girl had easily created five holes.
Earlier, she hadn't even used a soul skill—it was unclear how she did it.
Qin Ming was astonished. "Such speed, such powerful attacks. What force trained this Blue Silver Battle Team? They have a Seven-Treasure Glazed Tower soul master—could it be the Seven-Treasure Glazed Sect? I'll investigate later. If we can recruit them for the Royal Dou Empire, this year's advanced soul master team competition has hope."
At this moment, Ning Rongrong had fully absorbed the energy of the Blue Silver Replenishing Pills, significantly restoring her soul power.
"Sword Four, annihilate!" She thrust her sword into the arena. Sword energy surged, forcing toward Yu Tianheng.
With his second soul ring flashing, Yu Tianheng used Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Might!
This time, all the thunder attacked the sword energy directly. Lightning collided with sword energy, exploding with a deafening roar. Yu Tianheng was blasted several meters back, hitting the ground and spitting blood.
After this strike, Ning Rongrong's soul power was exhausted.
This Sword Four was far more refined than during the Sotuo arena battle. Her mastery had increased significantly.
If Yu Tianheng had reached Soul Sect level with an additional soul ring, he might have resisted partially.
"So strong!"Yu Tianheng spat blood while speaking.
The host announced, "The Royal Dou Team members can no longer fight. This team battle ends—the Blue Silver Battle Team wins."
Xiao Yan smiled, approaching Zhu Zhuqing. Coming to Dou City and winning 30,000 Gold Soul Coins immediately—how satisfying.
"What should we eat later? How about juicy pomegranates?"Xiao Yan asked.
At night, no pomegranates were around. Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks blushed slightly.
"Wait!"Dugu Yan hurriedly shouted. "Why could you absorb my Bilin Snake Poison?"
"I don't think I need to answer that."Xiao Yan said calmly, leaving the arena with Zhu Zhuqing and the others.
Dugu Yan, her body poisoned, clearly wasn't asking out of mere curiosity.
To neutralize this type of snake poison from a martial spirit required considerable effort.
Diagnosis wasn't difficult. Xiao Yan could give a conclusion now, but sourcing the medicinal materials later was the challenge.
They wouldn't be ordinary hundred-year-old ingredients—at least millennial-level were required.
Xiao Yan wasn't a saint or savior—he didn't save just anyone.
Benefits had to be worth it.
