Demon Charm Emerges

Bang!

In their first clash, the black bear blocked Yan's kick with just one hand, then suddenly reached out with his other hand to grab him.

However, Yan was far more agile in midair than he had expected. With a tap of his right foot, he narrowly evaded the man's palm, then pressed his left foot against the man's forearm to borrow momentum, flipping through the air and passing by him.

Before he could twist around and exert force, Wang Lin felt his shoulder sink. The soul rings on his body pulsed as he prepared to unleash a soul skill against his enemy, but he was still a step slower than Yan. A fierce kick struck him squarely in the back, sending him flying off balance even after he had activated his soul skill.

The chaos on the training field intensified. Although the students had been fighting before, they had retained enough reason not to use soul skills. After all, many of their soul skills were long-range or even area-of-effect attacks, making them extremely dangerous to use here.

But as the fight dragged on, tempers flared. Some people stopped caring and truly began attacking. For a time, Wind Blade Barrage, Flame Ray, Thunder Net, Freezing Ray... powerful soul skills flew everywhere, throwing the situation on the field into even greater chaos.

A faint gleam flickered in Yan's eyes. The Dawn intelligent brain was operating at its limit, monitoring everything around him—the moments when soul skills erupted and the changes in everyone's positions.

He kept moving. Even when people occasionally tried to block him or attack him, they still could not stop his advance. And as his hidden moves were set into motion one after another, the situation on the field grew even more chaotic.

"Brat, you're pretty good at running. This isn't a place you should be."

Another figure appeared before Yan to block his path. Black panther claws crossed through the air, scattering sparks. It was Hei Ze, the one who had stirred up trouble from the start.

The confrontation between Yan and Hei Ze finally drew the attention of Spirit Hall's higher-ups on the platform. A one-ring Soul Master making his way to the center of the training field was already eye-catching enough, let alone now that he was facing another opponent—the descendant of a Titled Douluo.

"This young master told you. You can stop now."

Yan tried to pass by him, but Hei Ze spun around and blocked him again. This guy was an Agility Attack Soul Master. In terms of speed, he truly surpassed Yan at his current level. Getting around him was unrealistic; it would be better to knock him down directly.

After a brief moment of thought, Yan stopped hesitating. He stepped forward, raised his palm, and assumed an exceptionally standard fighting stance. Then, the clash between the two erupted at once. As the sound of bodies colliding rang out again, a fierce battle immediately began.

Bang!

Whether Hei Ze was overly confident or simply relied too much on his backing, he actually gave up his speed advantage and chose to confront Yan head-on. The instant their fists and palms collided, Yan used the rebounding force to retreat swiftly. After a slight sway of his body, his powerful punches shot out in a dense rain.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Clusters of flames crisscrossed as they surged toward Hei Ze's face. With every movement of his hands and feet, Yan continuously released flames. Their power was not particularly great, but they were aimed specifically at Hei Ze's nose, mouth, eyes, and other vital points. The nose and mouth were manageable, but the eyes were the real problem.

Even with professional training, people would still instinctively close their eyes when faced with danger to them. Hei Ze was no exception. And in the instant Hei Ze shut his eyes, Yan slipped both hands through the crooks of his arms, then explosively forced them outward, jolting his arms apart.

After breaking open his guard, Yan pressed the advantage without mercy. First, an Iron Mountain Lean slammed directly into Hei Ze's chest. Before he could steady himself, Yan followed with a Heart-Top Elbow, lifting his foot and driving forward with force. That single elbow sent Hei Ze flying more than ten meters away.

"That kid is rather interesting. His flames are clearly not weak, yet he controls them with perfect precision. Every punch and palm strike is accompanied by flames that curl around and lash out. The flames may not be powerful, but they are used in exactly the right places—eyes, nose, exposed skin. Weak fire sparks, yet they achieve remarkable results."

"I've never seen this kind of close-combat fighting method before, but it is extremely well structured. I wonder whether it was inherited from some ancient Self-Created Soul Skill of his family, or whether it is an unusual soul skill he created himself."

"Judging by his appearance, he is only six or seven years old. To train to this level at such an age, his performance is indeed quite impressive."

The group of Titled Douluo on the platform had their attention drawn somewhat to Yan, and there was no lack of approval among them. Even Demon Bear Douluo was among those praising him.

The Titled Douluo within Spirit Hall were all figures who could be considered grandmasters of their generation. They naturally possessed the temperament and bearing to match. With their experience, they could tell that Yan's earlier movements were likely techniques from an entire combat system.

It could not really be considered a true Self-Created Soul Skill, but at only six or seven years old, being able to train such movements to this degree and apply them in real combat was exceptionally impressive.

In truth, they were not entirely wrong. The few moves Yan had used just now combined techniques from modern martial arts and Eight Extremities Fist.

Eight Extremities Fist was known as one of the most practical fighting styles. Whether it had secret teachings or not aside, moves such as the Heart-Top Elbow and Iron Mountain Lean were undeniably powerful. The Heart-Top Elbow in particular—driving it into someone's chest—could easily send an ordinary person flying.

"The time is about right."

On the training field, Yan, who had been constantly shifting and weaving through the crowd, suddenly stopped. The several opponents pursuing him were baffled by his seemingly muttered words, but they did not remain confused for long.

At the edge of the training field, Hu Liena turned and stepped from behind Xie Yue, who held Moon Blades in his hands, to the very front. A faint smile appeared on her face. As her martial soul was fully released, she seemed to become even more beautiful, and a fluffy tail grew behind her.

A pale red glow emerged from her body. Her eyes flickered as she glanced around, and several students who had been about to unleash soul skills suddenly froze for a moment. Then, the slaughter began.

"Brother."

Hu Liena called out to Xie Yue, and the red light around her body grew brighter. Behind her, Xie Yue also moved.

Xie Yue's Moon Blades were not one blade, but two—two blood-red crescent blades. He gripped the center of each Moon Blade in either hand. As his body moved, his arms spread apart, and he actually crashed into his younger sister from behind.

A red curtain of light suddenly appeared and spread outward. At the instant Xie Yue's body collided with Hu Liena's, that layer of red light wrapped around both their bodies.

At the same time, the red light instantly erupted, expanding like a ball of light and covering an enormous area—nearly half the training field. The dozen or so students around them naturally bore the brunt of it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

As the red light flashed, figures were sent flying in every direction. Then the ball of light suddenly surged forward, crashing into the densest part of the crowd with lightning speed.

First chapter update. While the new book is still in its early stage, everyone, please leave more comments and give the author some suggestions. Also, thank you all for the tips and votes.

The updates recently may have seemed a bit too straightforward, mainly because the protagonist is still young and his cultivation is low. He also cannot participate in any major scenes during the early stages of Douluo.

But after he comes into contact with Bibi Dong, the stage will be different, and the plot should improve somewhat. Please give more suggestions.
