What Are You Looking At?

Thinking this, Li Yuan stopped being polite. He put on a fierce expression, glared viciously at Luon En, and roared, "What are you looking at?"

"So what if I'm looking at you?"

"Try looking again."

"I'll try it!"

Slap!

Li Yuan had no intention of indulging this brat. Seeing that the kid actually dared to act tough with him, he slapped Luon En across the face without another word, sending the pretty boy sprawling to the ground.

To become a marquis of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Luon Family naturally possessed talent for martial souls. Moreover, the Golden Lion passed down through the Luon Family was an exceptionally powerful Beast Martial Soul. Back then, the first Luon Family marquis, Luo Shixin, had relied on the Golden Lion Martial Soul to dominate the battlefield, raising the Luon Family's original title to that of marquis and becoming the renowned Golden Lion Marquis of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Unfortunately, after Luo Shixin died in the war against the Star Luo Empire, the Luon Family declined with each passing generation.

The Luon Family's current head, Luon Cheng, was fairly decent. Though his strength could not compare with his father Luo Shixin's, he was still a Six-Ringed Spirit Emperor.

But by Luon En's generation, things had completely fallen apart. Luon En's martial soul was likewise the Luon Family's inherited Golden Lion.

Yet even with the same martial soul, different users could produce completely different results. In Luo Shixin's hands, the Golden Lion was a lion. In Luon En's hands, the Golden Lion was nothing more than a braised lion's head.

It was not that Luon En's talent was terribly poor. Strictly speaking, while his talent was not top-tier, it was still quite good. After all, his martial soul was the Golden Lion. How bad could it possibly be?

The problem was that Luon En was a wastrel with no interest in cultivation whatsoever. He utterly wasted his talent, spending every day eating, drinking, playing around, and sleeping with women.

Well, this was not solely Luon En's problem. The nobles of the two great empires were basically all like this, squandering their talents and refusing to make progress.

Because of this, although the two great empires occupied vast territories and should logically have had the most geniuses, they actually had hardly any true powerhouses.

The reason was simple. The nobles only knew how to run wild and suppress talented commoner soul masters, forcibly driving all those gifted commoner soul masters to Spirit Hall's side.

In fact, quite a few of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo came from the two great empires, yet not one of them was willing to serve those empires. That alone said plenty.

Luon En was no exception. As the eldest young master of the Luon Family, he was quite skilled at eating, drinking, and having fun. As for cultivation, he practiced for three days and slacked off for two.

Already twenty years old, Luon En's Soul Power was only at level twenty-three. Even that level twenty-three Soul Power had not been earned through cultivation. He had swallowed no small amount of medicine over the years.

With such a counterfeit Soul Grandmaster, his actual combat strength was obvious. Even Tang Weiwei's younger sister, Tang Cai'er, could probably hang him up and beat him.

How could a thing like that possibly be Li Yuan's match?

At first, after Li Yuan slapped him to the ground, Luon En had wanted to fight back. But in the next moment, faced with Li Yuan's fully unleashed aura, Luon En immediately wilted.

He did not even dare activate his martial soul. He merely hugged his head, looking like a terrified quail.

Li Yuan did not go easy on him. He likewise did not activate his martial soul or even use Soul Power. He simply stepped forward and gave Luon En a thorough beating with his fists and feet.

There was no need to mention how strong Li Yuan was. With his brute strength alone, even ordinary Soul Kings might not be able to withstand him, much less a pampered wastrel who had already become useless.

Even though Li Yuan deliberately restrained his strength and did not beat Luon En to death, after that savage beating, Luon En was still beaten half to death. He stared blankly at the ground, drool running from his mouth as he slurred threats such as, "You actually dare hit me? My dad's a marquis! Even my dad has never hit me!"

"Get lost!" After beating Luon En up, Li Yuan finally felt satisfied.

In broad daylight and before so many people, Li Yuan certainly could not kill Luon En outright. If he did, then his Li Xiaoyao identity would likely become unusable in the future—at least within the Heaven Dou Empire.

Since he could not kill him, after venting his anger, Li Yuan kicked Luon En in the stomach and sent him flying.

Luon En rolled across the ground several times in a miserable state before finally staggering to his feet.

After being brutally beaten by Li Yuan, Luon En did not even dare leave behind a single threat. He fled in disgrace, as though Li Yuan behind him were some terrifying monster.

Because he was in such a hurry, Luon En clearly failed to notice that, as he left, several little birds that had been perched in the trees suddenly took flight and flew in the direction he had gone.

At the same time, a black rat suddenly darted out from a corner and followed behind Luon En.

Several bees also wobbled through the air in the direction Luon En had left.

Watching Luon En depart, Li Yuan wore an amused smile.

Anyone could guess that Luon En would definitely seek trouble with him later.

But it did not matter. He had already made the necessary arrangements. From now on, Luon En's every move would be unable to escape Li Yuan's watch.

Although Li Yuan was actually only a Three-ring Soul Master and was not particularly strong in terms of Soul Power Cultivation, if one was not cautious enough, even a Titled Douluo might not be able to catch him.

The tricks he had come up with were likely unparalleled throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

Take those birds, rats, and bees just now, for example. They were all Li Yuan's clones.

That was right. They were clones created with Shadow Demon Clone, then transformed using the Transformation Technique.

It had to be said that Li Yuan's Transformation Technique was an extremely useful soul skill. It was not merely a funny skill for face sculpting; it could even turn Li Yuan into all sorts of animals.

Combined with the Shadow Demon Clone soul skill, it ultimately became a divine skill for preserving his life.

On the surface, Li Yuan seemed to be alone, but in reality, his clones were everywhere around him. Some were in human form, while others had transformed into all kinds of animals. Even an ant on the ground might be one of Li Yuan's clones.

Once he encountered fatal danger, Li Yuan could switch his true body with any one of his clones within seconds, leaving the clone behind to take the damage. His true body could then continuously teleport through this method, allowing him to escape quickly.
