On the street.
Hu Liena walked arm-in-arm with Su Bai, strolling along the bustling street.
Su Bai had a bright smile on his face.
The two of them, handsome and beautiful, looked like a golden couple.
They walked for quite a while.
Seeing that Su Bai still hadn't spoken, Hu Liena couldn't help but ask, "Brother Bai, is there something you need from me this time?"
"Why, can't I come to see you without a reason?" Su Bai joked.
Hu Liena took it seriously and explained, "Of course you can. In fact, I was hoping you'd come to see me..."
Her voice grew softer and softer.
If not for Su Bai's exceptional hearing, he might not have heard her.
So, Su Bai replied seriously, "I missed you, so I came to see you."
Hu Liena was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Her heart felt sweet.
"But there's also something else."
Hu Liena pouted.
She knew Su Bai wouldn't come just to see her.
Su Bai continued, "The Tianshui Team and the Blazing Team are on our side. When the time comes, go easy on them."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's face immediately showed displeasure.
Actually, she could already tell that Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan had connections with Su Bai.
After all, those ten-thousand-year soul rings were quite obvious.
And as far as she knew, only Su Bai had that capability.
Smart as she was, how could she not realize that these two had a relationship with Su Bai?
But even so, if Su Bai didn't say anything, she would definitely go all out.
After all, women tend to be a bit petty.
Moreover, Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan were her peers.
She wanted to prove she was the best.
But now that Su Bai had asked, she couldn't give it her all.
So, she was unhappy.
Still, since Su Bai had spoken, she had to agree.
Seeing this, Su Bai laughed and playfully tapped her nose. "What, are you jealous?"
"Of course not," Hu Liena turned her head away.
This girl...
Su Bai moved in front of her, gently cupping her chin.
Then, he softly kissed Hu Liena's fragrant lips.
Hu Liena's eyes widened instantly.
Her face turned bright red.
Although she liked Su Bai, they were in the middle of the street.
She was incredibly embarrassed.
But her heart couldn't help but feel joy.
So, she began to respond.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Seeing Hu Liena's shy look, Su Bai almost couldn't resist picking her up and heading to a hotel.
But with the finals approaching, Hu Liena might not be able to participate if he did.
He knew his own strength.
Hu Liena was still a virgin and wouldn't be able to withstand his intense advances.
So, he decided to let her off this time.
They spent half a day wandering around Spirit City, enjoying snacks, and shopping for clothes...
It wasn't until nightfall that Su Bai took Hu Liena back.
...
Three days later.
"Today is the final day of the Elite Soul Master Tournament. The champion will be decided between the remaining two teams. The winning team will receive three soul bones provided by our Spirit Hall. I hope everyone performs well. Now, I, the Pope, declare the match open!"
On the high platform, Qian Xunji stood and made the announcement.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, although he had handed over power to Bibi Dong, he still had to appear at such major events.
After his speech, the match officially began.
The two teams competing for the championship were Heaven Dou Academy and the Spirit Hall Team.
As for Tianshui Academy, they lacked the strength.
They had already been defeated.
The team members from both sides took to the stage.
After the announcement, Qian Xunji returned to his throne.
But his gaze drifted not far away.
There, his beloved disciple Bibi Dong was sitting with a man he despised.
That man was Su Bai.
They were chatting and laughing, which made Qian Xunji furious.
But there was nothing he could do. He didn't have the strength to confront Su Bai.
Moreover, Qian Daoliu had ordered him not to provoke Su Bai.
All he could do was watch in frustration.
On the stage.
The team members faced off.
Hu Liena swayed her hips as she stepped forward, looking at Dugu Yan. "Brother Bai told me to go easy on you."
Although the audience seats were far from the stage, Su Bai still heard Hu Liena's words.
So did Bibi Dong.
She pinched Su Bai's waist and gave him a glare.
This guy, another woman.
She wondered how many more there were that she didn't know about.
He's incorrigible.
Always attracting women.
"Is that so?"
Dugu Yan was slightly surprised, then quickly guessed Hu Liena's identity.
Like her, Hu Liena was also Su Bai's woman.
Knowing Hu Liena was provoking her, Dugu Yan smiled and said, "No wonder Brother Bai told me not to go all out last night."
At these words, Hu Liena's eyes widened with jealousy.
How could she not understand that Dugu Yan was implying Su Bai spent the night with her?
As for what they did?
It was obvious.
But what about herself?
Although Su Bai said he liked her, he hadn't done anything to her.
This made Hu Liena feel insecure.
So, she got angry.
She huffed, "In that case, let me see what you've got."
Dugu Yan also smiled, "I hope you be careful, sister, and don't get poisoned by me."
Both girls maintained their smiles.
But their words were chilling.
The other team members were quite troubled by this.
Su Bai could only shake his head helplessly.
It seemed his earlier words had ignited a spark between the two.
But it didn't matter. If anything went wrong, he would step in.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
"Martial Soul Possession!"
The two girls revealed their martial souls and began to fight.
Their attacks were fierce.
For a while, the other team members didn't know whether to join in or not.
Finally, Xie Yue turned to Yu Tianheng, "Do we still need to fight?"
Yu Tianheng watched Dugu Yan, who was fiercely fighting Hu Liena.
He couldn't compete with Su Bai, and Dugu Yan was no longer his.
So, he didn't feel like trying.
They weren't a match for the Spirit Hall Team anyway.
He suggested, "Why not let their victory decide the outcome?"
His suggestion had a hidden agenda.
He had seen the strength of the Spirit Hall Team.
Heaven Dou Team was no match for them.
But he coveted the soul bones.
So, he made this proposal.
Even if they lost, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
"Alright!"
Xie Yue nodded.
He had complete confidence in his sister.
The others had no objections, so both sides left the stage to watch.
But due to the disparity in their soul power, Dugu Yan eventually lost to Hu Liena.
Both had top-tier martial souls.
Both had taken immortal herbs.
Both had enhanced their physique with Su Bai's help.
They were almost evenly matched, but the gap in their soul power was too great.
Hu Liena was already a Soul King, while Dugu Yan was only a Soul Ancestor.
The difference was clear.
Dugu Yan's loss was not unjust.
Thus, Qian Xunji announced the Spirit Hall Team as the champion.
And the recipient of the soul bones.
"Qian Xunji, die!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and a giant hammer appeared above the battle arena.
Qian Xunji looked up in shock.
"The Clear Sky Hammer!"
