Beating Tang San, Gu Yuena Severely Injures Yu Xiaogang

Chen Fan had yet to respond to this sudden turn of events.

The Purple Beautiful Eyes of Gu Yuena in his arms suddenly turned cold.

She gently broke free from Chen Fan's embrace, steadied herself, and stared directly at Yu Xiaogang, her voice devoid of warmth.

"You just said Chen Fan was inferior to your disciple?"

That single sentence seemed to freeze the air in the forest.

Yu Xiaogang had only been embarrassed at first, but upon hearing this, his brows immediately knotted together.

He did not enjoy verbal disputes.

But Gu Yuena's words were a challenge to the Soul Master theories he had devoted his entire life to researching...

There was no way he could back down from that!

Yu Xiaogang pushed up the glasses on his nose and said in a deep voice, "I have always believed that there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters."

"Young Master Chen Fan's Crimson Phosphorus Dragon Martial Soul is certainly top-tier, and his Soul Ring Years are presumably not lacking either."

"However, the path I planned for my disciple is the most perfect combination, derived after taking into account Martial Soul traits, Soul Skill combinations, future growth, and many other factors."

"Therefore, Tang San is a cut above him."

"Even with Young Master Chen Fan standing before me, I am merely speaking the truth."

Seeing his teacher speak, Tang San stepped forward and stood before Yu Xiaogang. Facing Chen Fan, he showed not the slightest hint of fear.

Soul Power surged.

Yellow, yellow.

Two brilliant hundred-year Soul Rings slowly rose beneath his feet, radiating heavy Spirit Power Fluctuations.

Tang San gave Chen Fan a slight bow.

"I am Tang San. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I am a level twenty-one Soul Grandmaster."

"I have long heard of Young Master Chen Fan's great name. Since you have come to the Star Dou Great Forest, I presume you are also here to hunt for your Second Soul Ring?"

"I wonder... might I be fortunate enough to see Young Master's Soul Rings?"

Chen Fan's expression became somewhat peculiar.

Second Soul Ring?

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm within him was quietly resting there, its Spiritual Power as vast as the sea.

Yet that Million Year Soul Ring was, of all things, extremely deceptive...

White.

Seeing that Chen Fan showed no intention of revealing his Soul Rings, Tang San's gaze sharpened, and he said no more.

He merely assumed the other party's pride as a scion of a prestigious family was acting up.

Soul Power surged.

"First Soul Skill, Entangle."

Countless thick Blue Silver Grass vines burst from the ground. Like dark-blue Poisonous Snakes, they shot toward Chen Fan from every direction.

Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena's expressions changed. They nearly stepped forward at the same time, Soul Power surging as they prepared to act.

Yet Chen Fan remained as immovable as a mountain.

Buzz—

Two Soul Rings rose beneath Chen Fan's feet.

One yellow, one white.

That pure white Soul Ring appeared especially glaring beneath the sunlight.

The anticipation in Yu Xiaogang's eyes instantly turned to disappointment.

A ten-year Soul Ring.

He had thought that even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's genius fell short, he should at least have hundred-year Soul Rings. He had not expected the Second Soul Ring to be so unimpressive.

Getting entangled with someone like this was simply a waste of time.

Tang San frowned tightly, a trace of displeasure flashing through his eyes.

He had wanted to defeat Chen Fan openly and honorably, proving his teacher's theories.

But now, a victory without any suspense would even feel somewhat unfair.

What meaning would that have?

Before either of them could think further.

The pure white Soul Ring beneath Chen Fan's feet suddenly erupted with light.

An illusory dragon shadow, flickering like candlelight yet carrying an ancient aura, rushed into Tang San's sea of consciousness in an instant.

Second Soul Ring · Third Soul Skill, Nether!

Boom!

Tang San felt an explosion ring through his mind, and his consciousness instantly fell blank.

Immediately afterward, a force woven from scorching heat and bone-chilling cold exploded around him!

Of the Blue Silver vines shooting toward Chen Fan, half were burned to ash midair, while the other half froze into ice sculptures and shattered inch by inch.

Red and blue light exploded together, creating a dazzling scene filled with an aura of destruction.

Pfft—

Tang San spat out a mouthful of Fresh Blood. As though struck by a heavy blow, he flew backward and crashed hard onto the ground.

In just one exchange.

Victory or Defeat had been decided.

How was this a battle between Soul Masters in their twenties?

It was clearly a Soul Ancestor in their thirties or forties crushing a child!

Yu Xiaogang's expression completely froze.

Tang San struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with shock.

"How is that possible? How can he be this strong?"

Yu Xiaogang was utterly dazed. His glasses slipped down his nose, yet he did not even notice as he muttered to himself.

"That's not right..."

"How can a ten-year Soul Ring possibly defeat Xiao San's Second Soul Ring taken from a six-hundred-year Ghost Vine?"

"And that power... that was not a Second Soul Skill at all. It was an attack comparable to a Third, or even Fourth Soul Skill!"

"How is that possible!"

"How can this be possible!"

After several consecutive questions, this theoretical Master's mental defenses had clearly collapsed.

Chen Fan withdrew his Soul Rings, his expression calm as he ignored the two men's reactions.

Seeing that he had won so easily, Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue also relaxed and returned to his side.

In his eyes, this teacher and disciple were no more than pebbles by the roadside. They had happened to trip him up once; there was no need to waste words on them.

Chen Fan said, "Let's go."

However, just as the three turned to leave.

A roar mixed with rage and humiliation rang out behind them.

"No! That's not right!"

"What you used could not possibly have been a Soul Skill!"

"What method did you use?"

Yu Xiaogang roared.

But Chen Fan turned a deaf ear. It was merely the impotent barking of a useless man; he had no interest in going out of his way to stomp on him.

However.

He did not want to bother with him, but someone else was unwilling to let it go.

"Shatter the Heavens and Split the Earth—Roaring Sky and Earth - Roaring Cannon!"

Yu Xiaogang, humiliated into fury, actually launched a sneak attack!

He clearly wanted to force Chen Fan to act again!

Chen Fan frowned slightly and was about to turn around.

But a graceful figure had already stepped in front of him.

It was Gu Yuena.

In her purple eyes, only bone-deep killing intent remained.

Buzz!

The purple Thousand Year Soul Ring in the third position beneath her feet suddenly lit up!

Endless silver radiance burst forth from her body, while illusory silver-white Dragon Scales circled around her.

A brilliant Reverse Scale mark quietly formed between her brows.

An extreme Dragon might and an aura of elemental annihilation spread outward with a thunderous burst!

Third Soul Skill—

"Reverse Scale · Annihilation!"

A visible silver shockwave swept outward from Gu Yuena, surging toward Roaring Sky and Earth - Roaring Cannon and Yu Xiaogang.

Wherever the shockwave passed, the air itself was torn apart, producing piercing sonic booms.

The round, plump Roaring Sky and Earth - Roaring Cannon did not even have time to react before it was struck head-on by the shockwave. With a mournful cry, its body instantly withered as it flew backward like a kite with its string cut.

Yu Xiaogang was also swept by the aftershock. Struck by Lightning, he spat out blood wildly and fell to the ground in a miserable state.

For a moment, the forest fell deathly silent.

The air still carried the violent remnants of elemental annihilation. Yu Xiaogang lay on the ground, his chest heaving, bloody foam hanging from the corner of his mouth, his gaze unfocused.

Gu Yuena withdrew her aura. The killing intent in her purple eyes gradually faded, turning once more into affection and tenderness.

Chen Fan glanced at her and smiled.

"You..."

"Why get so angry over something like that?"

However, at that moment.

An angry shout shattered the silence.

This book will be going premium tomorrow, meaning two chapters will be updated tonight at midnight. Please give it a follow.

QQ Reading's system is roughly such that if the initial data is too low, it becomes difficult to pick up later.

The author is currently writing three books at once. Aside from this Gu Yuena novel, which focuses on sweet daily interactions and is a bit more relaxed,

Cai'er and another Roaring Sky and Earth - Roaring Cannon novel genuinely take a great deal of brainpower to plot out the story and future developments.

It is not as simple as casually coming up with a satisfying moment and knowing the plot just two hours earlier than everyone else each day.

First, there is the sunk cost of the existing outlines; second, my perfectionism makes me hope to finish all three books properly.

If you still find them readable, please give them a follow.
