"How am I supposed to fight Luo Chuan? What chance do I even have!"
Dai Yueyan was utterly miserable at this moment.
The audience might not know, but how could he not be aware?
What was his strength compared to Luo Chuan's? Even if the other party went easy on him, he would still be no match at all.
This wasn't just about fighting with one hand tied behind the back—even if the other stood completely still without moving a limb...
How could someone capable of slaying a Titled Douluo possibly fear a mere Level 61 Soul Emperor like him!
"..."
Meanwhile, among his group of companions, everyone watched silently as the Crown Prince of Star Luo Empire stood opposite Tang Luochuan on the arena.
Was this sheer coincidence, or was Crown Prince Dai Yueyan just incredibly lucky to end up facing him?
"Big brother is done for."
Dai Yun'er spoke most bluntly, casting a helpless glance toward her brother's position before stating directly.
"Place your bets! Star Luo Crown Prince Dai Yueyan vs Empire's Prince Consort Tang Luochuan! Excellent odds! Anyone betting on the Prince Consort?"
"Pfft... Betting on the Prince Consort? Brother, don't you find that ridiculous yourself? The odds might be high, but compared to the Crown Prince with limitless potential, what does this Tang Luochuan amount to..."
When Dai Yun'er saw the betting segment for the two contestants, her face initially turned cold before her eyes suddenly lit up. She immediately walked over with a cheerful smile.
"Ten million Federal currency!"
"On my fiancé Luo Chuan!"
Dai Yun'er waved her hand grandly, pulling a card from her Soul Guidance Device, her eyes sparkling with amusement as she spoke delightedly.
"..."
"Brother Yueyan, I look forward to learning from you."
On the competition stage, Tang Luochuan looked at the Crown Prince who held an exalted position in the Star Luo Empire, wearing a friendly smile as he spoke softly.
"Hmm..."
Dai Yueyan smiled bitterly, saying nothing more.
"This first match..."
"I'm absolutely going to crash and burn!"
His mood was deeply gloomy. At this moment, he could finally understand how Sima Xian must have felt when facing Tang Wulin earlier.
The most painful thing wasn't being unable to win, but...
having no hope of winning at all!
A Soul Emperor versus a Soul Sage—and one who had previously slain two Titled Douluo at that! Even given ten years, he still wouldn't be able to match two Three-Word Battle Armor Titled Douluo!
"I can't just..."
A flash of uncertainty crossed Dai Yueyan's eyes. Sima Xian could freely surrender or forfeit, but as the future ruler of Star Luo Empire, he had no choice but to proceed despite knowing the impossibility.
Taking a deep breath, he steeled himself, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes.
"Both contestants please prepare..."
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Begin—"
"White Tiger, Possess!"
The moment the referee's call ended, Dai Yueyan roared. Instantly, his hair turned completely white, with White Tiger fur sprouting all over his body.
Top-tier Beast Battle Soul—White Tiger!
Around him, six dazzling Soul Rings—Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black—now radiated brilliant light.
As the royal Crown Prince, his Soul Ring configuration was undoubtedly exceptional: one thousand-year purple Soul Spirit and one ten-thousand-year black Soul Spirit.
Yet Tang Luochuan remained unmoved before his opponent, maintaining his composure throughout.
"Luo Chuan..."
"White Tiger Demon God Transformation!"
Dai Yueyan didn't seem surprised by this. In the next moment, as his fifth soul ring erupted with a dazzling light, his already formidable aura surged to its peak.
White Tiger Demon God Transformation!
Bolstered by this amplifying fifth soul skill, his power approached that of a Soul Sage who hadn't unleashed their Martial Soul Avatar.
Even just watching through the large screen, this overwhelming presence was enough to make the audience scream incessantly, while the number of people betting on him invisibly multiplied.
In the next instant, his figure blurred as he lunged toward Tang Luochuan.
He might not win, but he couldn't refuse the fight!
As the Star Luo Crown Prince and Yun'er's brother, in this battle between brother-in-law and sister's husband, he still had to display his own imposing momentum.
"Wah wah wah wah wah—"
"His Highness the Crown Prince is making his move, he's making his move!"
Watching Dai Yueyan's agile figure, the entire arena erupted once again, with countless admirers of the Crown Prince roaring in excitement.
How they wished the person the Crown Prince was charging toward wasn't Tang Luochuan, but themselves...
"But why is that Prince Consort Tang Luochuan standing as still as a wooden puppet? What's going on..."
"I'd say nine times out of ten, something's not right!"
As gazes fell upon Tang Luochuan, who seemed to regard Dai Yueyan as nothing, the audience buzzed with discussion. Facing his opponent in the match, the Prince Consort didn't show even a hint of seriousness!
Did he think that on a stage of this level, the Crown Prince would hold back just because he was his sister's husband?
Hah!
"..."
Tang Luochuan remained perfectly calm as Dai Yueyan charged toward his position, as if he hadn't even taken notice of him.
But in the next moment, under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, when Dai Yueyan arrived at his spot, Tang Luochuan was no longer there.
Instead, with a faint smile, he had flickered and instantly appeared in the position where Dai Yueyan had originally been.
"This..."
The scene left the entire arena in an uproar. The image they had imagined—of Tang Luochuan being struck down—had not materialized. Instead, he was now standing where the Crown Prince had been moments before?
"Instant movement, no..."
"This is a spatial technique!"
Sima Xian, who had some speculation about this, couldn't help but widen his eyes, murmuring in dawning comprehension.
The Prince Consort actually possessed top-tier spatial control abilities, and what was most crucial...
Such an ability to instantly swap positions didn't even rely on his Martial Soul or a soul skill!
"What could his Martial Soul be?"
A trace of wariness flashed in Sima Xian's eyes as he couldn't help but exclaim.
His opponent's methods were simply too overpowering!
"Hah, Sima Xian, I think you've gone a bit mad from losing matches. It's obvious the Crown Prince is going easy on him, giving him a chance. Did you really think he has spatial abilities?"
Beside him, Liu Ruyan, one of the Star Luo Royal Academy's three great geniuses, snorted dismissively.
"The Crown Prince is so powerful—he's just going easy on his sister's husband. What do you know..."
"..."
Seeing the other party's seemingly hopeless state, Sima Xian merely shrugged, glanced elsewhere, and silently mouthed two words with his lips.
"..."
"White Tiger Destruction Kill!"
Back in the arena, a strange glint flashed in Dai Yueyan's eyes. The next moment, he almost instantly leaped to the other end of the arena and immediately activated his sixth Soul Skill.
White Tiger Destruction Kill!
This was his strongest Soul Skill, and now he had poured most of the Soul Power in his body into it. Perhaps only this move could inflict some damage on his opponent!
"He's using his sixth Soul Skill!"
"The Crown Prince is getting serious!"
Witnessing this, the spectators couldn't help but gasp, silently noting that the Crown Prince truly had a short temper.
Look!
He showed no mercy even to his brother-in-law.
"Holy Light Judgment."
Tang Luochuan's eyes showed no emotion as he chuckled lightly.
The next moment, accompanied by the emergence of a light attribute in his hand, the entire massive Soul Arena instantly erupted in a brilliant glow.
Though the light was warm and radiant, at that moment, it was so intense that the audience below could hardly keep their eyes open.
Soon after, when the light faded, Dai Yueyan had already retreated to the side, unconsciously swallowing hard.
In his original position, a hundred-meter-long crack had been split open...
"..."
At that moment, the entire arena erupted in an uproar.
The Crown Prince had made his move, and the Crown Prince had been defeated!
"I think."
"It's time to end this."
Meanwhile, Tang Luochuan, holding an angelic longsword that had appeared in his hand at some point, stood behind his opponent and spoke calmly.
This was none other than the Angel Divine Sword!
