"Linyuan, the strength you unleashed through this Martial Soul alone was enough to put the vast majority of Soul Emperors to shame." Gu Rong took a deep breath, his gaze burning as he looked at the youth before him.

If it had been any other outstanding young talent who had made him so bedraggled at this stage, he would most likely have felt somewhat despairing.
But Gu Linyuan was no ordinary person.
