Beating Yan into Submission, Winning Over the Three!

Everyone snapped out of Hu Liena's fury and saw another purple light drifting from the body of the fallen Phantom Tail Spirit Tiger.

Everyone turned their eyes to Jin Yan again. The Golden Generation roughly understood what had happened, while the other four were utterly bewildered.

"Wasn't Boss supposed to help? How did he end up stealing their soul beast?" Li Kai muttered.

Zhang Ping smacked the back of his head and scolded, "You idiot, Boss obviously went looking for trouble. Can't you see that? Pig brain."

"Sorry, I used a little too much force." Jin Yan brushed the dust from his clothes and spoke in an even tone.

Jin Yan's casual tone only made Hu Liena burn with even greater anger. Twisting her lovely figure, she moved to attack Jin Yan.

"Don't think I can't bring myself to hit you just because you're handsome. Watch how I deal with you!"

"Nana, let me do it. I guarantee I'll beat him until he kneels and calls you Grandfather!" Yan stopped Hu Liena, eager to fight.

"I told you not to call me Nana! And who said I wanted him to call me Grandfather? Get lost. I'll do it myself!" Hu Liena showed Yan no appreciation whatsoever. She rolled up her collar and prepared to go at Jin Yan herself!

"Nana, let Yan make the first move." Xie Yue's gaze remained fixed on the two thousand-year Soul Rings beneath Jin Yan's feet. Of the three of them, Yan had muscles for brains, while Hu Liena was clever sometimes and brainless at others. Only Xie Yue was not only skilled in actual combat but also kept up with theoretical knowledge. He knew how much thousand-year Soul Rings could enhance a Soul Master's combat strength.

He did not want his sister to get hurt, so he decided to let Yan test Jin Yan's strength first.

Seeing that her brother had spoken as well, Hu Liena reluctantly complied and cast Yan a look.

"I'll leave it to you. Don't disappoint me." As she spoke, she raised her delicate fist and waved it at Yan. Yet under the enhancement of her charm, Yan did not feel threatened at all. Instead, he thought his goddess was cheering him on, and his spirits soared.

"Heh, I think you'd better all come at me together. Save me the trouble," Jin Yan said indifferently as he listened to them pass the fight around.

Those words stirred intense dissatisfaction among the four across from him. Even Sun Chuantao, the least talented among them, could barely rank among the continent's top tier. Yet they were being so underestimated by someone their own age. To them, this was simply an insult!

Yan, who had been chosen to fight, was especially enraged. Wasn't this blatant contempt for him? He immediately released his Flame Lord martial soul. The scorching heat made the air around him seem to burn, while his body shot up to two meters tall. Fine red patterns appeared across him, and two yellow and one purple Soul Rings rose beneath his feet.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a fine martial soul. If he hadn't fallen for Hu Liena and become lovesick, I'd drag him over to my side no matter what."

Having released his martial soul, Yan did not wait for Jin Yan to react. He kicked off the ground, instantly closing the distance between them, and hurled a flaming fist at Jin Yan.

Jin Yan refused to yield. He raised his right fist and collided with Yan's. As their fists met, the powerful Soul Power shockwave flattened the grass around them.

Everyone had expected Jin Yan to be at a slight disadvantage in that punch. Instead, it was the arrogant Yan who flew backward.

Jin Yan had used only half his strength, so Yan was not seriously injured. He rolled several times across the ground to disperse the force, then his first Soul Ring lit up. Scorching fire erupted beneath Jin Yan's feet.

"First Soul Skill, Hell Magma Rush!"

Magma surged skyward like a roaring fire dragon bursting from the earth, swallowing Jin Yan whole.

At that sight, everyone could not help but worry for Jin Yan.

"Boss... should be all right, right?" Li Kai stammered.

Hu Liena suddenly clutched the corner of her clothes, a flash of smugness crossing her face. "Serves you right for being so arrogant. He didn't really get beaten to death, did he?"

Xie Yue looked at his contradictory sister and sighed without saying anything. His gaze toward the battlefield grew even more solemn. From his angle, Jin Yan had not been struck by the flames at all.

Yan might have been reckless, but his battle instincts were astonishing. He could tell that Jin Yan had not been hit by his Soul Skill. Just as he looked around, Jin Yan's voice sounded behind him.

"Looking for me?"

Yan's heart turned cold. Knowing he had no time to counterattack, he made a swift decision, and his second Soul Skill lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Granite Rock."

His body grew another size, and thick granite resembling armor appeared over him.

At the same moment, Jin Yan's dragon claw struck him. Even after activating his second Soul Skill, Yan was still sent flying by Jin Yan's blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood in midair and nearly lost consciousness. After falling to the ground and struggling for a while, he forced himself back to his feet, swaying unsteadily.

Jin Yan even made as if to strike again. Xie Yue had a good relationship with Yan, so how could he watch his brother be treated like this? He immediately shouted and released his Moon Blade martial soul. The Moon Blade traced a strange arc as it slashed toward Jin Yan, while Xie Yue ran toward Yan. Hu Liena and Sun Chuantao hurried after him as well.

"Should we stop them?" Li Kai asked gloomily.

Zhang Ping snorted coldly and released her Golden Waist Swallow martial soul. Her first Soul Skill activated, and a pair of golden wings spread from her back. With a slight flap, her body appeared in the air. She spread her wings before her, and they blocked the Moon Blade like a pair of shears.

At the same time, Xu Yu made his move. The Bright Gold Scepter he had been holding lit up with golden radiance, which fell upon Zhang Ping.

Seeing this, Li Kai cursed the two of them for not playing fair. Yet his body honestly released his martial soul as well. Two thick, ghastly white tusks protruded from his mouth, and hard boar bristles grew over his body. With Xu Yu's support, he appeared directly in the path Hu Liena and the other two had to take.

"Li Kai, for the sake of being classmates, get out of the way!" Xie Yue flared up as he looked at Li Kai blocking his path.

Li Kai struggled internally for a moment, but ultimately raised his right hand to stop the three. "This is a fight between Yan and Boss. Unless Boss says otherwise, none of you are getting through.

"Xie Yue, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you've broken through to Soul Elder. Let's see whether your Moon Blade is sharper or my Black Horned Mountain Boar's defense is tougher!"

Zhang Ping, her wings still spread, landed on Li Kai's shoulder and faced off against Xie Yue. Xu Yu's supportive light continued to shine upon the two of them.

Xie Yue gritted his teeth. It seemed the three were determined to oppose him. He caught the returning Moon Blade, lowered his body slightly, and held one blade in each hand, one before and one behind, ready to attack.

Then Jin Yan shouted,

"Enough. Let them come over. Even if they attack together, they might not be my match."

Hearing Jin Yan say this, the three finally withdrew their martial souls. Li Kai even bent slightly and made an inviting gesture toward Xie Yue.

"After you, you three."

The show was about to begin!
