Hu Liena's Cheeks Flushed Instantly

Shimo's face turned livid. Looking at the Spirit Hall experts who had already surrounded them, he lowered his voice and asked, "Friends from Spirit Hall, what are you trying to do? Don't tell me you intend to attack the disciples of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy here?"

Yan loosened his limbs and said with a smile, "No need to worry. We've always been rather quick when we make a move. Besides, this is the Star Dou Forest. Even if all of you die, it'll take the Heaven Dou Empire years to investigate."

"You!"

Shimo clenched his fists and turned slightly toward Yufeng and the others. "Teacher Lin should be nearby right now. He should have noticed what's happening here. I refuse to believe these people actually dare to make a move here."

Xie Yue swung the Moon Blade in his hand. Just as he was about to attack, a figure silently flashed over from the distance and appeared at his side in an instant.

"If I were you, I'd leave this place immediately. Otherwise, Spirit Hall's Golden Generation will truly perish here today."

Xie Yue's body suddenly trembled. He immediately turned around and looked at the red-robed young man who had appeared beside him, his eyes filled with astonishment as he sharply inhaled. "Y-you, who are you?"

To be able to teleport, and to appear here before they could even react... could he be a top-tier expert above Soul Douluo?

The Spirit Hall Soul Masters immediately assumed fighting stances. Even they had failed to notice the man's sudden appearance. It was simply horrifying.

"Teacher Lin!"

The members of the Heaven Dou Battle Team immediately called out.

Lin Yuan stood with one hand behind his back, his left hand resting on Xie Yue's shoulder. His gaze was cold as he said, "If I had wanted to attack, your head would already have fallen to the ground before you could react."

Xie Yue put away his Moon Blade, turned around, and asked, "Who might you be, sir? We are Soul Masters of Spirit Hall. Do you intend to make an enemy of Spirit Hall?"

Lin Yuan replied indifferently, "I do not wish to kill you, and likewise, you are not qualified to harm the students here. Touch even a hair on their heads, and every Soul Master here will die."

His voice was not loud, yet it reached everyone's ears. The Black-Robed Soul Masters present all felt an unprecedented pressure, as though this were their final warning.

Xie Yue still wanted to say something, but the quick-witted Hu Liena immediately stopped her brother. She then bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan before her. "This junior is Hu Liena, direct disciple of His Excellency the Pope of Spirit Hall. What happened today was all a misunderstanding. I hope you will not take offense, Senior."

"Little sister, what do you mean by this?" Xie Yue asked through voice transmission.

"Brother, don't be impulsive. I once heard from Teacher that Soul Masters capable of instant movement either possess a special soul skill or have Soul Power above level eighty."

"The man before us is brimming with killing intent, and he was not joking when he spoke just now. If we make a move here, I'm afraid only death awaits us."

Hu Liena was meticulous by nature, so she naturally understood that a Soul Master capable of instant movement was no easy target. Furthermore, his disciple could absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring beyond his level. That alone proved that this man's identity was extraordinary.

They could not make an enemy of him!

After hearing his sister's reminder, Xie Yue withdrew his extended right foot. Under the bright moonlight, they finally noticed Lin Yuan's true appearance.

The moment Hu Liena saw Lin Yuan's face, she froze blankly in place. It had been too dark earlier to make out his true appearance, but now, beneath the moonlight, Lin Yuan's nearly suffocatingly handsome face appeared before all of them.

"So... handsome..."

Hu Liena's lovely cheeks instantly turned crimson. As if embarrassed, she immediately lowered her head, her heart pounding wildly...

"Um... what happened just now... was all a misunderstanding. We apologize to you, Senior."

Lin Yuan withdrew his left hand and said calmly, "No matter. Just leave this place."

Hu Liena asked softly, "Senior, are you also a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"What, I don't look like one?" Lin Yuan asked in return.

"You really don't."

Hu Liena tucked her hair by her ear and smiled slightly. "After all, this is the first time I've seen such a young teacher. Judging by your appearance, Senior, you should only be around twenty years old, about the same age as us."

By the ages in the original work, Hu Liena was nineteen, only one year younger than Lin Yuan. Yet her maturity far surpassed those of her age.

"A teacher's age does not matter. Reaching the required level is enough. Everything else is merely incidental."

Lin Yuan turned around and glanced at Hu Liena, whose cheeks and ears were still flushed red. With this face of his, he could absolutely be considered the most handsome man on the Douluo Continent.

Of course, compared to the esteemed viewers before the screen, he was still somewhat inferior.

Yan, the devoted simp, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, glaring viciously at Lin Yuan and Hu Liena. His heart was filled with jealousy toward Lin Yuan.

Nana was the woman he liked. All these years, she had never blushed for him, yet today she had flushed for some pretty boy. For someone like him, this was absolutely intolerable.

Moreover, they had powerful experts backing them on this trip as well. Killing this ant should be easy.

Yan stepped forward and said, "Senior, you should know that we are Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. But isn't it somewhat inappropriate for you to humiliate Spirit Hall like this?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Yan beside him. He had long heard of this simp. As the saying went, a simp who simps to the end gets nothing. No matter how Yan treated Hu Liena, the final outcome would be the same.

He could never win Hu Liena's heart.

"And what are you supposed to be?"

Yan's mouth twitched. He turned to look toward the depths of the Star Dou Forest. With two Title Douluo experts watching, how could he allow Spirit Hall to lose face?

"Since you are so presumptuous, don't blame me for being rude. Today, I'll show you the strength of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation!"

Yan flew into a rage and charged toward Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan stood where he was, his expression unchanged. Looking at the fist now close at hand, he slightly raised a finger. With a flick of it, Yan's eyes instantly widened, and his entire body shot backward like a cannonball.

At the same time, the armor on Yan's body shattered inch by inch. The force of the impact sent him crashing through more than a dozen towering trees before he barely managed to stop.

Pfft!

Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of crimson blood. He could not believe that this man had actually dared to attack him. He was one of the Golden Generation!
