In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 186 The Angel's Lament and the Azure Claws of the Sluggish God

At this moment, seeing Wang Zhao's blood-red 100,000-year soul ring slowly rising from his body, the two members of the dart and shield duo couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although they were prepared, seeing him on the Soul Arena was still very shocking.

However, being two Soul Masters, they quickly adjusted their mindset, each gripping their manifested Martial Soul Breaking Dart and Thorn Demon Shield tightly.

Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, as if they had returned to the time when they first fought two against two in a spirit battle. Then he smiled slightly and said, "One for each of us?"

"certainly."

Qian Renxue nodded, looking at her sixth spirit ring with confidence in her eyes.

The Angel lineage had already discovered the optimal spirit rings needed for each stage of breakthrough through countless years of exploration, and the relevant spirit beasts had been directly searched by the wealthy Spirit Hall and kept in a secret place—essentially a private spirit beast forest. Normally, her sixth spirit skill should have been the powerful mental attack skill "Angel's Roar." However, perhaps because her spirit had already transformed into an eight-winged angel, or perhaps because she was spurred on by Wang Zhao, she chose a spirit beast spirit ring that exceeded the normal lifespan by ten thousand years for her sixth spirit ring. While her sixth spirit skill was indeed a mental attack skill, it wasn't "Angel's Roar," but rather "Angel's Elegy."

Compared to the original sixth soul skill, Angel's Roar, Angel's Elegy is much stronger in terms of mental attack. It also comes with a deterrent effect generated by the conversion of holy attribute soul power, which can add another layer of impact on the original scattered mental impact. It can be said to be an advanced version.

In addition, there was a pleasant surprise in the way Qian Renxue experienced...

At this moment, the eight wings of an angel, disguised as holy light dragon wings, slowly unfolded behind Qian Renxue, and Wang Zhao also instantly leaped into the sky, with a platinum dragon appearing beneath his feet.

It's worth mentioning that, for this Soul Battle Arena, the organizers specially expanded the main arena temporarily and set up an open-air mode to make the battles more flexible and exciting.

On the other side of the Soul Arena.

Seeing Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue's posture, the dart and shield duo understood that the opposing duo were planning to face them one by one. But would they let their opponents have their way?

The answer is no.

It's important to understand that two-on-two spirit battles essentially require mutual understanding and teamwork to win. Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue's actions were a major mistake, giving their opponents the opportunity to defeat them one by one. However, the experienced dart and shield duo wouldn't be so naive as to think their opponents didn't understand this principle. After all, the opponents were unparalleled geniuses, unprecedented in the history of the continent. The dart and shield duo quickly figured out what Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue meant.

These two young men seemed very confident that they could take them down...

The two members of the dart and shield duo exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing slightly, but they didn't think much of it. In the end, they decided that since Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue had given them a chance, they might as well seize it and try to defeat one of the opponents in one fell swoop before focusing all their efforts on the remaining one.

So they moved.

The Thorn Shield Soul Master, wielding his Martial Soul, had sharp barbs faintly visible on the shield. Despite his massive size, he moved nimbly across the Soul Arena, quickly leaping into the air. Meanwhile, the Breaking Dart Soul Master vanished from his spot in a flash, without deliberately moving in any particular direction. He simply hovered at the edge of the Soul Arena, his dark Breaking Dart gleaming faintly in his hand, as if gathering power.

The moment the Thorn Shield Soul Master leaped into the air, his companion also threw out his Extreme-Breaking Dart. The Extreme-Breaking Dart was not large, narrow and long. The moment it was thrown, it turned into an extremely fast black beam of light, so sharp that it seemed to pierce through the void.

Despite sensing the rapidly approaching Extreme-Breaking Dart behind him, the Thorn Magic Shield Soul Master remained calm. Years of cooperation had made him familiar with his companion's martial soul trajectory. He simply twisted his body slightly and raised the Thorn Magic Shield, which had been magnified several times under the amplification of a certain soul skill, as if to smash it not far away.

The Breaking Dart and the Thorn Magic Shield, one in front and one behind, seemed to possess a spirit of their own, mutually concealing each other, forming an impenetrable barrier. They advanced with lightning speed, and the direction of their advance was...

A thousand feet of snow!

The best approach is to pick the softest persimmon. Compared to Wang Zhao, who possesses an outrageous fifth spirit ring that is 100,000 years old, the dart and shield duo tacitly agreed that it would be better to deal with Qian Renxue first.

While it's absurd that Qian Renxue achieved Soul Emperor status at such a young age, at least her Soul Ring configuration is quite normal, isn't it? Well, the specific age of a black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring is usually not apparent.

At this moment, facing the combined attack of the two Soul Douluos, Qian Renxue had a premonition when they made their move earlier. She smiled slightly and then slowly put her hands together in front of her chest, with the Holy Sword standing quietly upright.

She gently closed her eyes, like a serene goddess.

At the same time, the sixth spirit ring that appeared above her in the void flickered faintly.

Sixth Soul Skill: Angel's Elegy!

Chirp—

The next moment, a divine sound suddenly echoed on the battle stage, ethereal and mysterious, yet its source could not be found.

Immediately afterward, an invisible wave seemed to emanate, causing the two members of the dart and shield combination to shudder simultaneously. Their minds went blank for a moment, followed by headaches. The second attack soul skill they were about to prepare was also interrupted for some unknown reason.

"?!?!"

The dart and shield duo's pupils contracted slightly.

With their rich experience and shrewdness, they naturally recognized that Qian Renxue was using her sixth soul skill. However, they couldn't understand for a moment why Qian Renxue's sixth soul skill could have such a significant effect on them, as it could so domineeringly interrupt the execution of the soul skill while attacking their mental sea.

This is actually an additional effect of Qian Renxue's sixth soul skill: interrupting spellcasting, or in the game's terms, "silence".

However, although the dart and shield duo was interrupted and was preparing their soul skills, the soul skill attack they launched first was not something that could be interfered with by the ethereal mental shock. At least, Qian Renxue, who did not specialize in mental attributes, could not do so. So, it was clear that the incomparably sharp Breaking Dart and the Thorn Magic Shield, which had been circling around to protect her and had also carried offensive power, were about to rush in front of Qian Renxue.

Sensing the danger, Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened, and she instinctively raised the sacred sword in front of her to defend herself. However, she suddenly noticed something and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Swish!

The next moment, the Breaking Dart and Thorn Magic Shield, which had been moving forward as if they could break through all obstacles, suddenly slowed down, like ships sailing against the current, restrained and hindered by some invisible force.

"This is……"

Inside the first private room, Chen Xin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the figure standing on the dragon's head above the Soul Fighting Stage with a strange gaze. Then he lowered his head slightly and focused his attention on the claw of the platinum dragon's right forelimb.
