--- Chapter 37 ---

"We arrived." Bibi Dong said while walking out from a dark corridor, which leads them to an extensive training ground with white paved floors.

"This place is huge." Chu Xiaoyu silently commented while looking around the arena, where she would fight later.

"Well, no one has used it for a long time." Bibi Dong responded while softly chuckling.

"Even though no one uses it, someone would regularly clean it." She naturally stated before walking toward a particular seat, which is on the arena's right side.

"We greet her majesty, supreme pontiff." All the elders suddenly appeared in the arena. They respectfully kneeled on the white paved floor while staring at Bibi Dong, who is calmly gazing at them before sat on her seat.

"You guys can get up." Bibi Dong instructed while giving Ci Xue a judging gaze.

As all the elders lift their bodies from the ground, Yunlong and Chu Xiaoyu are calmly walking toward Bibi Dong's side.

"Are your disciples ready?" Bibi Dong asked while giving her subordinates a neutral gaze.

"They are ready." five elders responded while nodding their heads before giving a gesture to their disciples, who are walking into the arena.

Bibi Dong calmly observed five children entering the arena, surprisingly a few of them only one or two older than Yunlong.

'Well, Yunlong only six years old, but he had a body of eight years old boy.' Bibi Dong thought while remembering Yunlong's abnormal appetite.

"We greet her majesty, supreme pontiff." The five children politely bowed at Bibi Dong, who seems to put an invisible pressure on their bodies.

'Three boys and two girls. The lowest and highest spirit rank are level 14 and level 16, huh.' Bibi Dong thought while nodding her head and said, "All of you can get up."

"Introduce yourself." She calmly said, to which five children responded with a nod.

(An: Titled Douluo had their respective title, but I'm going to use their name as an introduction)

"I'm Qian Jun Douluo's disciple, your majesty." said a boy with a slender stature and long grey hair.

"My name is Huo Shun; I'm nine years old with the black quill martial soul and spirit rank of level 16." He calmly added before stepping back, which let the following children introduce themself.

"Oh? A twin?" Yunlong commented while looking at the two children, who are stepping up at the same time and start to introduces themself.

"We are Jiang Long Douluo's disciple, your majesty." said a boy and girl at the same time. They have a similar feature: a pale face and white hair, and the boy had short hair while the girl had long hair.

"My name is Xiao Ying, and my brother's name is Xiao Li; we are nine years old with spiritual book martial soul, and our spirit rank is level 16." The girl stated with a polite smile before stepping back with her twin brother.

As the twin stepping back, a boy with proud looks and short purple hair walking forward and said, "I'm Ci Xue Douluo's disciple, your majesty."

"My name is Ba Jai: I'm Only seven years old with toxic demon martial soul and spirit rank of level 15." He added with a smile on his face, which makes the elders in the area frown.

"Next." Bibi Dong indifferently said while shifting her gaze at the last child, a girl with a calm expression and flowing auburn hair.

'D-Did I just got ignored...' Ba Jai thought while gripping his hand before intently staring at Yunlong.

'Why are you staring at me like that.' Yunlong thought while feeling something troublesome would happen later in the arena.

"I'm Yu Long Douluo's disciple, your majesty." The last girl gracefully said while bowing her body.

"My name is Yu Ning'er; I'm nine years old with thunder spear martial soul, and my spirit rank is level 14." She calmly added without changing any expression.

'This world is changing.' Yunlong thought while looking at the five children in the arena.

'Well, I don't remember any of the spirit hall elders had a disciple.' He inwardly added while pondering about just how much his presence is changing this world.

"Xiaoyu." Bibi Dong suddenly said while smiling at her disciple.

"Un, I understand." Chu Xiaoyu nodded her head before walking forward and introduce herself.

"Chu Xiaoyu, six years old, my martial soul is icy haze sword, and my spirit rank is level 14." She coolly declared, which makes the audience shook in their place while staring at her with a widened eyes.

"S-Six years old, level 14." Ci Xue said while staring at Chu Xiaoyu with a disbelief expression.

"Full innate soul power." He added in his heart while his body is trembling in shock.

"So, which one of you want to fight first." Bibi Dong's voice echoed in the area, making the elders and their disciples snaps out from their thought.

"I want to go first, your majesty!" Ba Jai instantly said while staring at Chu Xiaoyu with a burning spirit in his eyes.

"Xiaoyu, don't hold back. Show me the results of your training." Bibi Dong instructed, to which her disciple responded with a nod.

Chu Xiaoyu jumped into the arena as the elders and their disciples, leaving her alone with Ba Jai.

"Your name is Chu Xiaoyu, right." Ba Jai said while pointing his finger at the girl in front of him.

"Marks my words; I will defeat you." He boldly stated, which makes Chu Xiaoyu nodded her head.

"Show me your abilities." Chu Xiaoyu silently replied while raising her right hand and materializing a long icy sword.

"Because I won't hold back my strength." She stated while a yellow spirit ring is rising from the white paved floor.

Ba Jai coldly sneered at her before using his martial soul, which made his skin purple with a black hue and two small horns grew on his forehead.

"Toxic Demon." Ba Jai shouted with a grin while a yellow spirit ring is floating around his body.

"Frozen Edge." Chu Xiaoyu grasped her sword handle as an icy hue comes out of it.

"Come." She taunted Ba Jai while forming an ice scabbard on her other hand.

Bi Jai dashed forward while turning his finger into white claws, which releasing a faint purple glow.

"Demonic Purple Claw!" Ba Jai shouted before swung off his claw at Chu Xiaoyu.

'Slow.' Chu Xiaoyu thought while looking at the incoming attack and raising her sword to block it.

Clank!

"Got you, take my poison!" Ba Jai suddenly released a large amount of purple gas from his mouth to attack Chu Xiaoyu.

'Poison.' Chu Xiaoyu thought while calmly breathing without being affected by the purple gas around her.

On the other side of the arena, Chu Yunxi and Qian Renxue are calmly staring at the fight.

"Poison won't work on Xiaoyu or me." Chu Yunxi commented while releasing a heavy sigh.

"Did something happens to you and Xiaoyu?" Qian Renxue asked the woman beside her.

"You see, we have a rough life. Before we run away and meet mistress, we got used as a poison experiment by a bunch of scums." Chu Yunxi answered before gloomily staring at Xiaoyu.

"But, because of that experiment, we gained poison immunity. I don't know to what extent, though." She added, which makes Qian Renxue staring at her for a few seconds.

"I see. At least you have a better life in here." Qian Renxue said, which makes Yunxi smiled at her.

"Yeah, I'm happy to live in here." Chu Yunxi responded with a smile on her face.

Back to the fight, Chu Xiaoyu is calmly looking at the purple gas around her before slashing it with her sword and cut the gas in half.

"How?" Ba Jai said in disbelief because his poison should be working now.

"Poison at this kind of level won't work on me." Chu Xiaoyu commented while dashing forward and kick Bai Jai's stomach.

Bam!

"Uugh, my stomach." Ba Jai groaned while taking a few steps back.

'She's strong.' Ba Jai thought while feeling a numb pain in his stomach.

'I need to use full power.' He added in his heart while shifting his gaze at Ci Xue, who is staring at him for a moment before giving him a nod.

"Let me show you my full power." Ba Jai said while his spirit ring is liting up with a bright yellow glow.

After saying that, Ba Jai's body suddenly releasing an intense purple aura, which is a potent poison he directly drew from his body.

Chu Xiaoyu is silently watching him before sheathing her sword and calmly entering Iai's stance.

"Demonic Toxic Claw." Ba Jai launched himself at Xiaoyu while vigorously swung off his hand at her.

"Divine Swallow." Chu Xiaoyu's cold voice entered his ears before seeing a chilling energy slash flying toward him.

Bam!

The energy slash directly hit Ba Jai's chest and instantly drove his body five meters away.

Cough!

"How could you be this strong..." Ba Jai said while staring at Chu Xiaoyu before coughing blood from his mouth.

"Training." Chu Xiaoyu responded while appearing in front of Ba Jai and placing her sword at his neck.

"I won." She declared while seeing Ba Jai's body fall to the white paved floor.

The arena is quiet as Ci Xue staring at the fight with a shocked and disbelief expression because he will never think his disciple would lose.

Chu Xiaoyu was sheathing her sword before releasing a heavy breath from her mouth and said, "Who's next?"
