Jia Le saw the awkwardness in the air and coughed before explaining, "It seems our Evil Flame Team's reputation isn't very high. However, their courage to challenge the Blood Rhino Team is indeed commendable!"
Evil Moon's lips curled slightly, "Lena, it looks like we've already been branded as certain losers by these people!"
When Hulena got serious, her pair of icy eyes held not a trace of emotion, "Then today, let's make an exception and have them sprawl in a pool of blood, wailing!"
Flame was somewhat curious, "I say, Lena, Evil Moon, how come you seem so motivated? Didn't you see the cheers from the crowd just now?"
Seeing the two so full of spirit, the faint fear in the depths of Flame's heart also began to fade away...
Evil Moon sneered, "Even if they are strong, we are Martial Soul Hall's Golden Generation. No matter for what reason, we absolutely must not lose this battle!"
Moreover, their devil-like training and abilities in all aspects absolutely couldn't be matched by these people!
Flame paused a moment, then clenched his fists, "Alright! I understand!"
On the other side, the three members of the Blood Rhino Team, upon hearing the conversation of Evil Moon's trio, burst out laughing...
The woman perched on the shoulder of a burly man jeered, "Boy, you dare to challenge us? You're simply clueless about life and death!"
A robust man said coldly, "We were killing people when you little brats didn't even know how to play with mud!"
Another licked his thin lips, leering at Hulena's delicate body, "It's a pity about that woman, she must be quite beautiful. But today, she's doomed to perish."
Hearing the burly man insult Hulena, rage flickered in Flame's eyes. He was about to rush out but was held back by Evil Moon...
"Flame, don't be hasty! Wait a moment, and he'll never be able to say those words again!"
Hulena was of utmost importance in Evil Moon's heart. Now that these three were openly insulting her, his murderous intent was gradually becoming unbearable, his already eerie eyes flashing with a blood-red gleam...
Yet Hulena herself remained as cold and unresponsive as ever...
With a smile, Jia Le said, "It looks like the fighting spirit is already intense before the battle has even begun! Now, please, both teams, release your Soul Rings!"
As his words fell, on the Blood Rhino's side, the two burly men stomped their feet, and slowly, five Soul Rings emerged from beneath them—white, yellow, yellow, purple, black!
The woman seated on their shoulders had the standard Soul Ring Configuration—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black!
Flame's gaze moved downward, and upon seeing the 10-year soul rings beneath the two burly men's feet, he chuckled, "This kind of Soul Ring Configuration? Evil Moon, Lena, release your Soul Rings and scare them stiff!"
He had thought that the Blood Rhino Team, known as the most brutal among Soul Kings, would be much stronger, but it turned out that at least two of their members didn't even meet the standard Soul Ring Configuration!
Evil Moon and Hulena nodded after hearing this, and with a thought, five soul rings simultaneously rose from beneath their feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black!
This perfect Soul Ring Configuration shocked the previously mocking crowd into silence!
"What? The Soul Ring Configuration of these three is so powerful!"
"They're definitely a level higher than the Blood Rhino Team!"
"I have a feeling the Blood Rhino Team is going to take a fall this time!"
"Psh, what does it matter if their Soul Rings are strong? The Blood Rhino Team hasn't lost to other teams with stronger Soul Ring Configurations before!"
"That's right, that's right, not once has an opponent of the Blood Rhino Team not ended up crippled!"
Shock appeared in Jia Le's eyes, "Wow, our Evil Flame Team's trio has a Soul Ring Configuration that is a level higher than that of the Blood Rhino Team. Could it be that this time the Blood Rhino Team is really going to suffer defeat?"
The woman sitting on the burly man's shoulders showed a trace of venom in her expression as she scolded angrily, "These three guys, they actually… We must kill them all later!"
The two muscular men looked at each other and declared, "Then let's fight the way our tradition dictates!"
The woman pursed her lips, "Good! Let those three who don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is all go to hell!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman standing on their shoulders stood up, looking down at Hulena and her two companions opposite her.
By comparison, Hulena and her companions had a more standard formation: with Evil Moon and Flame in the front to face the enemy, while Hulena controlled from the back!
Jia Le cleared his throat and announced loudly, "For this battle, Blood Rhino vs Evil Flame, I declare that it starts now!"
Suddenly, the woman who had been standing on the shoulders of the two muscular men lightly jumped down, and her third soul ring lit up beneath her feet…
The woman shouted coldly, "Third soul skill, Crow's Eye!"
Countless pitch-black crows burst forth from her body, and two of them flew to perch on the shoulders of each muscular man, fixing their sharp eyes on Xu Sheng and his two companions…
Evil Moon narrowed his eyes, "Is her Martial Soul a crow?"
If he guessed correctly, this soul skill should enhance the perceptive abilities of those it affixed to!
He hurriedly warned Flame at his side, "Flame! Since that woman's Martial Soul is a crow, the two men are definitely Rhinoceros Martial Souls, which mostly use skills like charging!"
Flame's expression turned cautious upon hearing this, "Understood! Just a mere Rhinoceros at that!"
Hulena's eyes were continuously fixed on the woman, feeling that there was something very odd about her…
In front of them, the third soul skill of the stationary muscular men lit up, and suddenly, giant rhinoceros horn shields appeared in their hands!
Seeing this, Evil Moon's pupils constricted, and his third soul ring shone, a blood-colored scimitar slowly forming in his hand, "Flame! Don't let them use their next soul skill!"
No sooner had he spoken than his entire being charged toward the muscular men like a ghost…
The woman looked at Evil Moon's speed and was somewhat astonished, "What, this man is of Agile Attack class?"
"Bang!" With a hasty reaction, one of the burly men immediately hoisted his shield in front, blocking the scimitar attack from Evil Moon, who created endless sparks from the friction…
Seizing the moment of defense, the other muscular man quickly smashed his shield toward Evil Moon…
Just as it was about to hit him, Flame suddenly appeared, "Third soul skill, Granite Rock!"
His whole body was covered in a layer of granite material, directly knocking the attacking muscular man back several steps…
He shook his hands and said coldly, "Ambush? You'll have to get past me first!"
The muscular man who had stepped back looked down at his shield, which now bore subtle crack marks, and thought inwardly, "This guy has such strong attack power!"
Seeing the tide of the battle turning unfavorably, the woman's fourth soul skill under her feet suddenly lit up, and she announced again, "Fourth Soul Skill, Nest Crow!"
The crows perched on the shoulders of the two muscular men had their pupils turn blood-red. They then flew into mid-air, their shapes starting to blur, and within a few seconds, they transformed into dozens of flapping crows out of thin air.
The woman laughed maniacally, "Go, my crows, and let them despair in darkness!"
