Hu Liena is astonished, Yan you have changed

Hu Liena is stunned, Yan, you have changed.

Bibi Dong's emotions were extremely agitated.

With such extreme agitation, her gaze, which should have been indifferent at this moment, became somewhat scorching.

Ever since the moment she was usurped by Qian Renyu, she had been waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables.

Now, this final match was the opportunity she saw!

On the vast open space directly in front of the Pope's Palace.

Hu Liena stood at the forefront of the Martial Soul Team with a proud expression.

Sensing something, she felt that the emotions of her teacher, Bibi Dong, were unusually agitated.

Her steady breathing involuntarily grew heavier.

There is only one match left. As long as we win this one, I can help Teacher find the opportunity she needs to turn the tables!

At the same time, I can truly reclaim the status that belongs to me. Even if Qian Renyu won't acknowledge my honor, others will have no choice but to!

However, I didn't expect this Shrek Academy to actually make it to the final. Qian Renyu thought I couldn't handle Shrek Academy, so he put Yan through special training these past few days.

In that case, I will solve the people from Shrek Academy just as easily as I dealt with the Heaven Dou Royal Team yesterday!

Hu Liena pondered to herself.

While calculating these matters, she adjusted her state to its absolute peak.

Soon, Hu Liena had herself fully prepared, and she cast a glance out of the corner of her eye toward Yan, who had only truly appeared for this match.

Yan was still wearing his usual attire, but compared to his state before the special training, he looked much more composed now.

With his arms crossed over his chest, his build was extremely sturdy, his fiery red hair looked sharp and capable, his entire body was covered in flame patterns, and his dark red eyes shone with a brilliant light.

Hu Liena observed Yan for a while, her brows furrowing slightly; she felt that something about Yan had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

"Hoo..."

Exhaling a heavy breath, Hu Liena reined in her cluttered thoughts, her expression remaining cold and aloof as she said icily, "Yan, you didn't participate before, but for this match, we will follow the strategic deployment we discussed at the beginning!"

"After the match starts, Xie Yue and I will take the lead, you will be responsible for support, and Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, Li Kai, and Xu Yu will be responsible for creating opportunities for us!"

"The final champion must be our Martial Soul Team. Do not let your lack of participation lead to a failure in our coordination and cause us to lose the match!"

Xie Yue was somewhat dumbfounded.

Hearing what his sister said.

Even with their sibling bond, he felt a bit unaccustomed to it at this moment.

He, Hu Liena, and Yan were all part of the Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall.

Within the entire Martial Soul Team, the status of the three of them should have been equal.

However, Hu Liena's tone right now sounded more like a superior giving orders to a subordinate, completely disregarding the fact that Yan had always been secretly in love with her.

"Yan, don't take it to heart!"

"Nana just has this kind of personality; she doesn't have any bad intentions!"

Xie Yue took the initiative to pat Yan on the shoulder and sighed softly to comfort him.

Yan smiled faintly, maintaining his arms-crossed posture, his expression and demeanor completely indifferent.

Whatever Hu Liena said had no impact on him whatsoever at this moment.

"Yan, are you alright?" Seeing that Yan remained unmoved, Xie Yue asked, feeling uneasy.

Yan replied calmly, "It's nothing. I have woken up from my dream. Now, in my heart, there is only the championship!"

???

Woken up from a dream? Only the championship?

Xie Yue looked at Yan as if he were a monster.

Such ordinary words sounded as earth-shattering as a thunderclap to his ears.

Hu Liena was equally stunned; she stopped looking out of the corner of her eye and turned her head to look at him in surprise.

Her slightly narrowed eyes flickered with thoughtful expressions.

This guy Yan, has he really changed?

Yan did not look Hu Liena in the eye, nor did he continue to place his heart on her as he had in the past.

At this very moment, the only thing he cared about was the improvement of his own strength.

Only those who had truly experienced the special training under the pressure of the throne knew how great the benefits were.

He hadn't deliberately meditated to increase his Soul Power, yet his Soul Power had increased by a level during these days of special training.

Not only had his Soul Power Level increased, but the solidity of his soul power was also much more robust than before.

At the same level, he could now exert even greater strength.

Yan did not dwell too much on the joy of his Soul Power increasing by a level; most of his joy was focused on his true trump card.

Compared to the level-up in spirit power, Yan was well aware that mastering the Throne Projection was the true trump card.

Only after truly mastering the Throne Projection could one understand the terrifying, immense power it possessed.

Securing the final championship of the Spirit Master Tournament would be an absolute breeze!

Pondering his own increase in strength, Yan glanced toward the direction of Shrek Academy while, just like Hu Liena had done earlier, stealing a glance at her from the corner of his eye.

There was no trace of his former unrequited love, only endless coldness.

"If nothing goes wrong, Hu Liena is likely planning to put on an even more eye-catching performance in this final match, all to make that person look even more glorious!"

"If she wants to seize absolute control of this match for the sake of his glory, then I cannot afford to slack off either!"

"Regardless, I am now a registered disciple of His Excellency, and even with his busy schedule, he still managed to carve out so much time to help me master the Throne Projection!"

"I must repay this kindness!"

Yan thought to himself in secret.

He had already been taught by a Title Douluo as his teacher.

But after truly becoming a registered disciple of Qian Renyu, Yan finally realized that there was a massive gap even among Title Douluo.

During this period of special training with Qian Renyu, he clearly felt his strength advancing by leaps and bounds.

It wasn't that he was belittling his previous teacher, but after spending this time with Qian Renyu, he truly understood one principle.

Having a sufficient backer could truly shorten the time needed for hard work.

And the spirit master world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak; without sufficient strength, one certainly could not establish a foothold.

As a member of the Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation, he was destined to become a high-ranking official of Martial Soul Hall in the future.

There were many high-ranking officials, but whether one could become the most elite among them still depended on one's strength.

Yan knew this clearly, and as his thoughts drifted on these matters for a while, he became determined to repay Qian Renyu through this tournament, and equally determined to let everyone know that he, Yan, was also a core member of the Golden Generation!

In an instant, Yan's gaze became completely resolute.

Your Excellency, this time I will not let you down!

Hu Liena is indeed not worth me continuing to act as a sycophant!

In this final, I will achieve victory in a crushing manner!

I will make all of that woman Hu Liena's schemes fall to pieces!!

PS: I had some things to take care of during the day, so the update is late. Sorry about that, the second chapter will be up soon.
