Boom!
A black figure flew backward amid a deafening roar, blasted more than twenty meters through the air before crashing viciously off the other side of the Soul Fighting Stage!
That person was none other than Yang Yu!
On the Soul Fighting Stage, Yu Bai had already withdrawn his martial soul. His gaze swept over the spot where Yang Yu had landed, and a flicker of interest appeared in his eyes.
Although he had used only thirty percent of his soul power when unleashing his first soul skill, its might was still not to be underestimated with the skill's enhancement!
Yu Bai had even feared that if he let the blow land directly on Yang Yu, he might kill him outright. That was why, at the last moment, he had changed the Everlasting Sword's attack trajectory and chosen to clash head-on with the tip of Yang Yu's Formation-Breaking Spear!
Judging by the result, Yu Bai had undoubtedly won, and he had won cleanly and decisively!
However, what truly interested Yu Bai was the power of Yang Yu's final strike.
The power of that final attack definitely reached the level of an ordinary Assault-type Soul Elder—perhaps even a high-level Soul Elder!
Coupled with his willingness to challenge someone stronger than himself, if he were in the Dou Qi Continent, or even other continents, he definitely wouldn't remain a nobody in the future!
What a pity. In Douluo Continent's crude cultivation system, soul power cannot be refined further. One can only rely on Soul Rings to obtain soul skills and spear techniques, without knowing anything of deeper concepts such as spear momentum, spear intent, or the spear path.
In the Great Soul Arena's spectator stands, the audience was stunned when they saw Yang Yu sent flying more than twenty meters and knocked off the other side of the Soul Fighting Stage. But after coming back to their senses, everyone flushed red with excitement and began shouting "Smiling Face" at the top of their lungs!
The host was also jolted awake by the audience's cheers. He hurried to the area beneath the other side of the Soul Fighting Stage and summoned a Healing-type Soul Master. Once it was confirmed that Yang Yu had merely fallen unconscious from the backlash of that tremendous force and would recover after some rest, he had the Healing-type Soul Master carry Yang Yu away for treatment.
At the same time, after forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, he raised the microphone with an excited expression and shouted, "Good! The winners of this two-versus-two Soul Fighting match are the Smiling Tiger Duo! Let us congratulate them!"
"And let us also thank them..."
"Smiling Tiger!" "Smiling Tiger!" "Smiling Tiger!"...
Amid the audience's cheers, Yu Bai and the other boy left through the Soul Fighting Stage's exit passage. After the staff settled their points, they left the Great Soul Arena and hurried home!
Inside Yu Manor, the two families had gathered in the main hall.
Beside the long table, On the left sat two middle-aged men. One was refined and composed, while the other was powerfully built and muscular!
They were Yu Bai and Shi Zheng's fathers respectively: Yu Fan, and Little Fatty Shi Zheng's father, Shi Kuan!
On the right sat two beautiful women who appeared to be only in their twenties. They were Yu Bai and Shi Zheng's mothers, Luo Ling and Xie Rou!
At the lowest seat of the long table, Little Fatty Shi Zheng was enthusiastically gnawing on a chicken leg, showing no sense of unfamiliarity whatsoever.
Yu Bai finished recounting what had happened at noon, then looked at the four adults and said, "...I should be the Exposer Xiao Yan mentioned. So, old man, Uncle Shi, Mom, Aunt Xie, what do you think we should do about this?"
Yu Bai had expected that after hearing something so life-threatening, the parents of both families would wear solemn, grave expressions and work together to find a way out of their current predicament. Yet, as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with four pairs of eyes looking at him as though he were some rare curiosity!
Luo Ling, Yu Bai's mother, and Xie Rou, Shi Zheng's mother, even went straight to his sides. After tossing Little Fatty aside together and ignoring his resentful little stare, they immediately began kneading and playing with Yu Bai's cheeks and ears. From time to time, they exchanged astonished glances and exclaimed, "Gasp! Little Bai is actually the Flame Emperor exposed at noon today?! Gasp! So this is the Flame Emperor's reincarnation? No wonder his talent is so exceptional!"
"Even his looks are so outstanding!"
"I never thought I'd get the chance to pinch the Flame Emperor's little face in my lifetime. What good fortune!"
"Tsk, tsk, this is the Flame Emperor before whom ten thousand flames bowed! And now he's been reborn into such a tiny little thing. How fascinating!"
"Ah, I wonder where my two daughters-in-law are now. What do they look like in this life?"
"..."
Yu Bai's mouth twitched as his little face was mercilessly toyed with by the two women. He had never imagined that, despite being caught in such a dangerous whirlpool and at risk of being discovered by every major force at any moment, his mother and Little Fatty's mother would be so unreliable. Rather than taking the crisis seriously, they were even more interested than before in squeezing his little face!
It was simply absurd!
After hurriedly breaking free from the control of those two devilish hands, Yu Bai sternly condemned them and refused to let the two women extend their claws again. Ignoring the tearful act the two terrifying women put on at the side, he instead walked over to stand before Yu Fan and Shi Kuan, his expression solemn as he asked, "Dad, Uncle Shi, do you have any ideas?"
Though he said that, Yu Bai's gaze was mainly focused on his father, Yu Fan. After all, according to what his parents had told him, from the time the four of them had formed a team and trained at Soul Master Academy to the time they became two families, nearly every major decision had been made by his father, Yu Fan!
In Yu Bai's memories, the strongest impression his father left on him was that he was extremely cautious—he could even be called Old Six!
Who could have imagined that after Yu Bai's martial soul awakening, when his Innate Soul Power had tested at level nine, his father had confined him at home for a full half year in order to prevent his talent from being exposed and drawing the attention of Spirit Hall or Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
During those six months, Yu Bai had already cultivated to level ten in the first month. Yet his Old Six father still refused to let him leave the house, so he spent the remaining five full months undergoing all kinds of physical conditioning training!
Only after half a year had passed did his father finally take him to hunt for his first Soul Ring!
As for this arrangement, his Old Six father's explanation had been, "According to my observations, that little girl from the city lord's family with Innate Soul Power at level eight only reached level ten after half a year of cultivation. I intend to register your talent as innate level eight in Spirit Hall's records, so you won't attract too much attention. Therefore, when you obtain your first Soul Ring, your bone age should be six and a half!"
"That way, when I take you to Spirit Hall to register your Soul Master information, no one will suspect anything!"
"After all, those with Innate Full Soul Power are one in a million, and those with innate level nine talent are one in ten thousand. But those with innate level eight soul power are merely one in several hundred. Though still rare, the major forces are not lacking in such talents!"
"That way, you can retain the status of a genius without attracting too much attention!"
"You must understand: in this world, if you do not have powerful forces protecting you, having too much talent is itself a sin!"
