Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

He didn't even need to summon the Nine-Tailed Fox; his physical attributes, enhanced by the Soul Ring, were enough to easily crush it.

This resulted in Lin Wan being unable to consolidate the skills she learned in the first-year combat course.

"No, we need to find someone who can fight."

Lin Wan sat by the window, her sea-blue eyes gazing at the students outside practicing basic combat skills on the playground, sweating profusely, but her thoughts had already wandered far away.

He thought of the Soul Arena, a place that exists in almost every major city in the Douluo Continent.

It is a place specifically for Soul Masters to spar, settle scores, and engage in duels.

In the Soul Arena, Lin Wan can not only train herself through fighting, but she might also be able to secretly learn a few physical techniques.

Just do it.

On a day off, Lin Wan changed into an inconspicuous gray casual outfit, used a disguise card to turn her hair black, and put on an ordinary silver mask that only covered the upper half of her face.

After completing his basic disguise, he left the academy and headed straight for the Soul Arena.

The Soul Arena of Skyfrost City is located in the western part of the city. It is a huge, circular stone building, much like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

The place was bustling with noise, filled with fluctuations of soul power and frenzied shouts.

After paying the registration fee, the next step was to register information. Lin Wan gave a false name and used the code name White Fox.

As for his martial spirit, he disguised it as a white fox using a disguise card.

With a slight thought, Lin Wan summoned her martial spirit.

What appeared in his palm was no longer the divine and alluring Nine-Tailed Fox with its nine swaying tails and silver-white fur tipped with ice-blue.

Instead, it was a slightly smaller, snow-white fox that looked like an ordinary fox martial spirit.

Above the martial spirit, there is a spirit ring with a slightly yellow color.

The information reviewer glanced at it and then looked away, since in the Soul Arena, the starting point is a one-ring Soul Master.

He had even met Soul Masters, so he could easily take a look at an ordinary one-ring Soul Master.

"Okay, your information has been registered. We will match you with a suitable opponent as soon as possible."

In the Soul Arena, the starting Soul Master is at the first Ring, so Lin Wan didn't have to wait long. After a short while, the Soul Arena matched him with a suitable opponent.

Lin Wan took a deep breath and followed the staff's instructions to the Soul Battle Platform.

This is a circular stone platform with a diameter of about thirty meters, surrounded by tiered seating. At this moment, there are about a hundred people scattered around, mostly ordinary people or low-level soul masters watching the excitement.

His opponent, codenamed "Cold Fang," was already standing on the other side of the Soul Arena.

He was a tall, thin young man with a somewhat cold gaze, and like Lin Wan, he was also wearing a mask.

When Han Ya saw Lin Wan go on stage, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. After all, Lin Wan was only six years old and only 1.3 meters tall.

Chapter 17 First Soul Battle

"Little one, the Soul Arena isn't child's play. Don't get beaten up and cry later, okay?"

Han Ya's hoarse voice came through the mask, carrying undisguised mockery towards Lin Wan.

Lin Wan ignored the provocation and simply stood there calmly, observing her opponent with composure.

Han Ya, a level 13 Ice Wolf Martial Soul, is the same level as him.

Ice Wolf Martial Souls typically possess decent melee combat abilities and ice-attribute attacks, and their speed is also quite fast.

"Battle of Spirits, begin!" the referee commanded.

"Ice Wolf, Possess Me."

Han Ya let out a low roar, and his martial spirit instantly possessed him. His body swelled slightly, his muscle lines became more defined, and a thin layer of ice crystals covered his exposed skin. His fingernails became sharp like wolf claws, radiating a chilling aura.

"Martial spirit, possess the body."

Lin Wan's voice was calm and composed, also imbued with a martial spirit.

His figure hadn't changed much, except that he now had a fluffy fox tail on his back.

Han Ya clearly didn't take Lin Wan seriously and launched an attack directly at her.

In his view, he and Lin Wan were of the same level, and the wolf was definitely more powerful than the fox.

He pushed off the ground with both legs, his body shooting towards Lin Wan like an arrow released from a bow. His icy wolf claws tore through the air, carrying a chilling aura and a sharp whistling sound, aiming straight for Lin Wan's face.

Extremely fast!

Several gasps rang out from the audience, who seemed to have already foreseen the tragic scene of Lin Wan being swatted away by a claw.

Lin Wan's eyes narrowed, and the rapidly enlarging wolf claws were reflected in her sea-blue pupils.

He didn't take the hit head-on, but dodged to the side.

The icy wolf claws grazed Lin Wan's clothes with a piercing whistling sound, tearing only a few pieces of cloth fluttering in the cold wind.

"what!"

Han Ya's attack missed, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. His opponent was incredibly fast.

Although Lin Wan disguised her martial soul, her physical attributes, enhanced by the 675-year soul ring, and the top-tier agility bestowed by the Nine-Tailed Fox were not diminished.

Han Ya missed his attack and prepared to continue.

But Lin Wan clearly wouldn't give him that chance.

He swiftly closed in, his movements as fast as lightning.

With his right hand, fingers joined like a knife, he thrust with a sharp, swift force, aiming straight for the gap in Han Ya's ribs exposed by the attack.

"Humph!"

Han Ya had fought in many matches in the Soul Arena, and his combat experience was much richer than that of the academy rookies.

He twisted his body forcefully, placing his left arm, covered in ice crystals, across his ribs.

boom!

Lin Wan's hand chopped hard into Han Ya's icy arm, producing a muffled thud.

Han Ya felt an unexpectedly strong force, and several pieces of ice crystals on his arm shattered with a crack. He was shaken and staggered back two steps, his arm feeling sore and numb.

"Such powerful strength!" Han Ya was shocked. The contempt for Lin Wan in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by solemnity and disbelief.

The white fox boy's strength and speed far exceeded his expectations.

How is this possible? How could the power of an ordinary fox spirit be stronger than his ice wolf?

In the Douluo Continent, the stronger the Martial Soul, the greater the boost it provides to the Soul Master.

Among the same level, beast spirits generally provide a greater boost to a soul master than weapon spirits.

Among beast spirits, the more powerful the spirit, the stronger the boost it provides to the spirit master.

In addition to the boost from the Martial Soul itself, the Soul Rings also provide a boost to the Soul Master, with stronger Soul Rings providing a greater boost.

Han Ya was shocked at that moment, but then he realized he had guessed the result.

This white fox's first spirit ring must be related to strength.

A surprised murmur rippled through the audience.

This guy codenamed White Fox seems to have some skills.

"Kid, I underestimated you!"

Han Ya's eyes turned fierce. "But this ends here. Taste my soul skill, Icebound Path!"

The yellow spirit ring on Han Ya's body lit up, and he suddenly bent down and slammed his palms hard on the ground of the Soul Arena.

Click!Click!

A bone-chilling cold erupted instantly. Centered on Han Ya's palms, a thick layer of ice, radiating a chilling aura, spread rapidly like a living thing, instantly covering half of the Soul Arena, and continuing to spread towards Lin Wan's feet without slowing down.

Wherever the ice layer passes, the air condenses into tiny ice crystals.

This is an area-of-effect control skill. Once covered by the ice path, movement will be greatly restricted, and you may even be frozen.

This first soul skill is what Han Ya is most proud of. No one would expect that a melee, offensive soul master would have an area-of-effect control skill.

It was precisely because of this wide-range soul skill that he won several matches in a row in the Soul Arena.

Lin Wan's eyes narrowed; Han Ya's move was indeed troublesome.

He pushed off with his feet, his body rapidly retreating! However, the ice was spreading extremely fast, and it was about to catch up with him.

"Right now."

Seeing Han Ya's focused expression, Lin Wan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. When the opponent unleashed an area-of-effect soul skill, they would inevitably need to concentrate and be in a relatively fixed position.

Lin Wan stopped dodging the spreading ice and instead stomped his foot, his body rushing towards the frozen path like a phantom.

Due to limitations in his soul power, Han Ya was unable to completely cover the entire ground with the ice path he created.

Lin Wan lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped towards Han Ya.

At the same time, his right hand spread his five fingers slightly, and a faint silver light seemed to flash from his fingertips, aiming directly at Han Ya, whose movements had slowed down due to the release of his soul skill.

Han Ya saw Lin Wan rushing towards the frozen path and a sinister smile appeared on his face, but the next second, he saw Lin Wan flying straight towards him from the air.

"what?"

Han Ya hurriedly reached out to block, but Lin Wan's hand had already touched Han Ya's arm.

At that moment, Lin Wan's yellow spirit ring lit up.

hum!

An indescribable mental fluctuation, carrying an extreme allure and a compulsive allure, crashed into Han Ya's brain like an invisible giant hammer.

The sinister smile on Han Ya's face froze instantly, and his pupils became lifeless.

He stood frozen in place, like a puppet whose soul had been ripped away, his eyes vacant, his expression blank. Even the frozen path beneath his feet stopped spreading instantly due to the interruption of his soul power.

Forced charm, effective.

In a battle between Soul Masters, a single second can be enough to decide life or death.
