Hu Liena's Shyness! Liang Hao Was Indeed a Worthy Man!

Yan had gotten straight to the point, making no attempt to hide what he was thinking.

Liang Hao had come to assert his authority in the first place, so of course he wouldn't back down.

He nodded, wanting to waste less time, and said:

"If Brother Yan really wants to try, then let's try."

"I was just worried I'd gotten my First Soul Ring but had no punching bag to test its power on. Don't worry, Brother Yan, I'll hold back!"

He hadn't spared Yan's feelings in the least. Yan's face darkened, and he felt displeased.

"Big words! I'd like to know how a One-Ring Soul Master like you can be so arrogant!"

"Come on, to the center of the training ground!"

Friendship between men was just that simple: they started fighting without another word.

Xie Yue remained silent throughout, while Hu Liena grew a little worried.

She tried to stop them. "What are you two doing?"

"Xiao Hao, I only asked you to come over so I could see your Soul Ring. Don't fight."

"Yan's already a Three-Ring Soul Elder, and you only have one ring. How could you possibly..."

But before she could finish, Liang Hao waved a hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister."

"Hasn't this guy been bothering you? Your junior brother will take care of the problem for you."

"After all, you're my one and only world."

"What? Th-this... Xiao Hao, you..." Hu Liena hadn't expected Liang Hao to go this far for her.

In truth, Liang Hao simply wanted to teach Yan a lesson, in preparation for bringing people under his command in the future.

Saying it was for Hu Liena was just an excuse.

But Hu Liena took him seriously. She truly believed Liang Hao was acting entirely for her sake.

After hearing him, Hu Liena felt moved. She hadn't expected this junior brother, cold as he seemed on the surface, to care so much for her.

All these years, aside from her own brother, almost no one had cared for her without an ulterior motive.

Even her teacher wanted to train her to contribute to Spirit Hall.

Yan liked her only for her looks and her status as the Pope's disciple.

Liang Hao was different. He was destined to be invincible. On the surface, he was her junior brother, but her standing couldn't compare to his at all.

Yet he still cared for her so much...

At that moment, although Hu Liena was only eleven, her heart fluttered, and she began to have certain thoughts.

Unfortunately, Liang Hao knew nothing of this jumble of thoughts. He was only preparing to fight.

Yan, watching the look in Hu Liena's eyes from the side, grew even more jealous.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Well, well, you little brat, you sure know how to talk. For Nana's sake, you say?"

"I'd like to see how you're going to teach me a lesson!"

The two quickly reached the center of the training ground and faced each other, ready to fight at a moment's notice.

Hu Liena was still worried that something might happen to Liang Hao.

But she wasn't the only one; the Douluo characters watching from outside were all astonished too.

In the Light Screen Chat Group.

Seeing that Liang Hao had only just obtained his First Soul Ring and was already going to fight a Three-Ring Soul Elder,

Everyone still found it hard to believe.

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "Could Liang Hao be in love with Hu Liena? One ring against three—is he charging in for love, or is he the king of Yelang who thinks his tiny kingdom is the greatest?"

[Douluo I Hu Liena]: "What? He likes me? Th-this, how could that be..."

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "You're Hu Liena? You must be pretty. You're only eleven in this light screen, and you're already so enchanting."

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "But why couldn't it be? Who knows if those men spend every day thinking about women?"

[Douluo I Hu Liena]: "Impossible. Liang Hao and I didn't know each other before this, so how could he have feelings for me?"

[Douluo I Hu Liena]: "Besides, as a One-Ring Soul Master, he absolutely couldn't stand up to Yan."

[Douluo I Hu Liena]: "Yan only had three rings then, but his Martial Soul was overbearing, and he was exceptionally strong in actual combat. Even Soul Masters at his own level couldn't beat him."

[Douluo I Hu Liena]: "Liang Hao only has one ring, so how could he possibly do it?"

[Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "Nonsense, of course he can't!"

[Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "Well, well, you little brat, you've finally gone looking for death?"

[Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "I, the Grandmaster, said long ago that this boy was arrogant. You can all see it now, can't you?"

[Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "He absorbed that Thousand-Year Soul Ring earlier through sheer luck. Does he really think he's invincible?"

[Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "This brat wants to challenge someone with three rings when he only has one. He's simply courting death! He even wants to slander me, the Grandmaster. Let's see how this piece of trash slanders me when he's dead!"

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "Why are you popping up again? What rotten luck... Now that you've said he can't win, I actually think he can."

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "He has a Thousand-Year Soul Ring too, you know!"

[Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "What the hell does a little girl like you know? What use is a Thousand-Year Soul Ring? It still can't change reality!"

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "You talk like you know so much about Thousand-Year Soul Rings. Do you have one?"

[Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Enough, Xiaogang, stop... Let's watch. Liang Hao can't be judged by normal standards. What if Yan really loses?"

By the end, even Bibi Dong herself was somewhat speechless, and she stepped in to dissuade Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang had finally found an opportunity and was trying to belittle Liang Hao again to regain face.

But kicking someone when they were down like this was actually embarrassing. The more Bibi Dong watched, the more helpless she felt, and she gradually began to feel some disdain.

She didn't know whether Liang Hao could defeat Yan, and she thought it would be very difficult.

But whether Yu Xiaogang had embarrassed himself was already settled.

If Bibi Dong hadn't still been unable to completely move on, she would have joined the others in berating Gangzi.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, the others toned it down a little too.

Still, most of them remained curious. Could Liang Hao really take on three rings with just one?

The chances were extremely slim, but what if he succeeded?

After all, Liang Hao's outrageous feats earlier, one after another, had gotten them used to it.

At the same time, apart from judging whether Liang Hao would win or lose, some people were also interested in what Ning Rongrong had said earlier about Liang Hao liking Hu Liena.

Spirit Hall.

Hu Liena's room.

Hu Liena paid little attention to Yu Xiaogang, instead thinking over and over about what Ning Rongrong had said.

She bit her lip and looked at the light screen with a complicated expression, murmuring:

"This Liang Hao is only a One-Ring Soul Master in the end. He can't possibly deal with Yan's attacks."

"He shouldn't be stupid either, so why would he do this?"

"Could this guy really like the me in the instance..."

"But the me in the instance is still me. Once it's applied to reality, the two of us will be one and the same."

"Does he really like me? He even said it was for his senior sister?"

"But I don't even know him right now. If he really does..."

"What should I do then? He's Teacher's beloved disciple, and his status may even surpass mine in the future. I'm afraid all of Spirit Hall will have to depend on him."

"Should I just accept it and take the initiative to befriend him? Even if it's for Teacher and for Spirit Hall?"

As Hu Liena said this, she had truly taken Ning Rongrong's teasing seriously.

Only a reason like this could explain it, since no one knew what Liang Hao's true goal was.

At last, Hu Liena fell silent for a long while before comforting herself:

"Never mind. Liang Hao is so outstanding that once he grows up, I'm afraid none of the talented men under heaven will be his equal."

"If I really were to seek a partner, I'm afraid I couldn't find anyone better."

"And the other factions covet Liang Hao greatly. If I can keep him tied to Spirit Hall, then I can give everything for it!"

"Perhaps he's the man more outstanding than my brother that I've been looking for all along..."

As Hu Liena spoke and thought, many scenes had already appeared in her mind without her realizing it.

She said it was for Spirit Hall, but didn't she also want to get close to an outstanding member of the opposite sex?
