Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Hu Bai looked you up and down and said seriously, "You two each have your own strengths. If we're talking about looks, you might be a little bit prettier, but my fiancée isn't bad either. You'll be able to meet her in the future."

"Besides, although this is our first meeting, I can tell that you are not the kind of person who can tolerate two women sharing one husband, are you?"

"And I certainly won't abandon Sister Xiaoxue, we've known each other since we were little."

Gu Yuena:
"Hmph, you're not much bigger now," Gu Yuena sneered. "Besides, you don't think I'd be interested in you, do you? That was just a joke."

Hu Bai waved his hand: "That would be best. A competition is fine, but cross-dressing is out of the question. What if I really lose? Hahaha—"

Gu Yuena was shocked: "Are you even a man? My cultivation is lower than yours. You're a Soul Emperor, I'm a Soul King. You still think you could lose to me?"

"You men are all pretty concerned about saving face, aren't you?" Gu Yuena asked with a strange look on her face.

She suffered defeats in both of her brief encounters with Hu Bai.

You can't make Hu Bai dress as a woman.

Even if I jokingly say I'd lose and have to be Hu Bai's girlfriend, that's not an option.

Hu Bai waved his hand: "I care about my reputation, but I won't show off. My abilities tell me that if it's just a contest of soul power, I'll definitely beat you, but if it's a contest of overall strength, I'll lose 100%, and lose badly."

He considered himself quite strong, but if he were facing Gu Yuena, he couldn't possibly win.

If Gu Yuena were to secretly use her god-level mental power, he would have absolutely no chance of resisting.

Gu Yuena's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Hu Bai warily: "What have you discovered?"

Hu Bai shook his head: "Everyone has their own secrets. As long as you won't harm the Spirit Empire, I naturally won't do anything to you. Besides, I really can't beat you right now."

"I can sense that you have no ill intentions towards me, right?" Hu Bai chuckled.

Gu Yuena said expressionlessly, "I've heard that His Highness the Holy Son possesses a mysterious and profound power of destiny. Today I've witnessed it firsthand, and it truly surprised me."

"How about we have a simple contest, without using our mental powers? I really want to see your abilities."

Hu Bai nodded: "That's no problem. Let's see if there's any open space nearby."

“Yes, come with me.” Gu Yuena then walked ahead.

The onlookers dared not approach at all. They felt that, if Qian Renxue were not taken into account, Gu Yuena and Hu Bai were a perfect match in terms of appearance!

"What should I do? Gu Yuena and His Highness the Holy Son are both so beautiful and handsome when they're not smiling. I'm starting to ship them. What should I do?"

"Yes, yes, I feel that if Her Highness the Holy Maiden doesn't come out of seclusion soon, won't His Highness the Holy Son be snatched away?"

"What are you talking about! Didn't you hear His Highness the Holy Son just firmly reject Gu Yuena's request to be his girlfriend?"

"I don't think so. They've only met for the first time. Gu Yuena's betting agreement was indeed too presumptuous, but you can't deny that His Highness was stunned for a moment when he first saw Gu Yuena, right?"

I was absolutely captivated by the goddess Gu Yuena! Ahhh, I'm so excited!

"Are you guys the only ones shipping Gu Yuena and the Holy Son? Am I the only one concerned about whether His Highness the Holy Son can cross-dress? I really want to see His Highness cross-dress once, he would look absolutely stunning!"

It would be so soft and sweet to hold. Hehe, if it also had a martial spirit, those fox ears... I just want to pet them!

A slight commotion broke out on the scene, but they dared not go over to watch the two's match. Gu Yuena and Hu Bai had just given them a look that warned them to stay away from the area. But thinking about it, it made sense; with no one around, the two of them could perhaps show their true strength.

Although the overall strength of the students in the Spirit Hall has definitely improved significantly compared to before, the number of Soul Kings in the senior grades is still very small.

Most students are at the level of Great Soul Master, Soul Venerable, or Soul Sect Master.

What if they get hurt if they go over to watch?
They didn't know how strong Gu Yuena was, but they definitely knew how strong Hu Bai was!
They're not even human!

An open space.

Gu Yuena and Hu Bai stood two meters apart.

A silver dragon appeared behind Gu Yuena, but her spirit rings rose from beneath her, a deep purple-black color.

"Gu Yuena, Martial Soul Silver Dragon, Level 55 Power Attack Type Battle Soul King!"

This silver dragon phantom was just something she created. After all, her martial soul was her true form, so after the silver dragon possessed her, there were actually no characteristics of a beast martial soul on her body.

Hu Bai smiled slightly, but did not elaborate.

A nine-tailed celestial fox appeared behind her, with nine pure white tails emerging from her back and two fox ears on her head twitching rhythmically, making her look very cute.

Seven soul rings, red-red-white-gold and red-red-red-red-red, appeared beneath him!
"Hu Bai, Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Level 73 All-Around Battle Soul Saint!"

Gu Yuena: ? ? ?

"Aren't you a Soul Emperor?" Gu Yuena said, "When did you break through to Soul Saint? Are you kidding me? And what about your Soul Ring configuration?"

With such a significant difference in power, it would be a miracle if she didn't use her mental strength to win!

Hu Bai chuckled: "I never said I was a Soul Emperor. You just made that assumption. Apart from a very few people, the only ones who know about my advancement to Soul Saint are probably the Soul Masters who fought alongside me in Tianshui City."

"If I wanted to play a trick on you, I would continue the bet. For example, without exceeding my current mental strength, we could make a bet, and I'm sure you would agree to my request, right?"

Gu Yuena:
If Hu Bai were merely a Soul Emperor, she might indeed agree.

After all, with her abilities, even if the opponent is a Soul Emperor and she is a Soul King, she has a high chance of winning. This is all due to her years of experience!
"As for my spirit ring configuration, I previously encountered a million-year-old silkworm in the Star Dou Great Forest. Its life essence can help me increase the age of my spirit rings."

This was hardly a secret to Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena learned from Bi Ji and the others that they had captured an ice silkworm that was about to break through a million years old and absorbed its life essence.

As a result, after only a few years of absorption, he suddenly shed his skin like a cicada.

I never imagined it would be sacrificed to Hu Bai!

What incredible luck!
However, she only just learned that the life essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could actually be used to increase the age of the Soul Ring.

This might be good news for her, as it means that Hu Bai doesn't actually need a 100,000-year soul ring. He can simply hunt down a suitable one and increase its age.

That means they have something to talk about in the future!
