Ye Xuan naturally noticed the disdain in the eyes of these so-called prodigies around him.
They just didn't know that he wasn't fighting alone.
Ning Rongrong, standing beside Hu Liena, grew worried when she saw that Ye Xuan was going to fight on the stage too.
"Big Sister Hu Liena, will anything happen to Big Brother Ye Xuan?"
Hu Liena saw Ning Rongrong's anxious little expression.
She couldn't help but rub her forehead in bemusement.
She really hadn't expected this.
She had only teased her a little just now.
Yet the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had eagerly followed her here.
Others might not know.
But she understood that although the relationship between Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects wasn't bad, it certainly wasn't good either.
Her junior brother getting so close to Ning Rongrong was definitely not a good thing.
"Don't worry. My junior brother may always act in ways that are hard to figure out, but he's very strong."
How could he not be?
Her good junior brother could use all the abilities of a Hundred-Year Soft Bone Rabbit.
And he could even summon a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast helper with strength equal to his own.
Although he couldn't beat a Soul Elder with his own strength,
defeating a greenhorn Soul Grandmaster shouldn't be difficult.
"Huh? Big Brother Ye Xuan is that strong? He's fighting Yu Tianheng, one of the Blue Lightning Twin Stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Ning Rongrong's voice was full of surprise, but Hu Liena only gave a soft laugh.
"They're nothing but a bunch of brainless bruisers. Besides, you saw it yourself just now. Yu Tianxin wasn't that strong either."
Hearing Hu Liena's words,
Ning Rongrong found them hard to understand.
After all,
her father had once told her that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was the strongest Beast Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent. Every genius with this Martial Soul could fight opponents of a higher level.
Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, hailed as the Blue Lightning Twin Stars, could only be even stronger.
"Mm-hmm!"
Ning Rongrong didn't understand, but rather than try to make sense of everything happening before her, little as she was, she preferred to "gossip from the corner."
On the arena,
Yu Tianheng looked at the little fellow standing before him.
The fight hadn't even begun, yet his face was already reddening as if someone had slapped him.
As one of the Blue Lightning Twin Stars,
his opponents had either been older than him
or possessed greater Soul Power.
But now, he was supposed to fight a brat who was clearly younger than him and hadn't even reached Soul Grandmaster.
It was no different from having his dignity trampled over and over.
"You'd better get off the stage. I don't want to bully a little kid."
Yu Tianheng looked down at Ye Xuan standing before him.
He genuinely couldn't muster the slightest desire to fight.
The pride he took in his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul wouldn't let him lay a hand on a brat whose mind hadn't even matured yet.
But when Ye Xuan heard Yu Tianheng's words, his forehead was already covered in black lines.
Well, well.
He'd actually been underestimated.
He had lived two lifetimes.
Together, he was twenty-four years old.
"You're Yu Tianheng, right? One of the Blue Lightning Twin Stars. Didn't the elders in your clan teach you never to look down on anyone?"
"If I was able to come here, that proves my strength isn't tied to my age or Soul Power. If you don't get serious..."
At this, a mischievous smile appeared on Ye Xuan's lips.
"You might end up lying in bed for a while, just like your cousin."
At Ye Xuan's words, a trace of surprise appeared in Yu Tianheng's eyes.
As he spoke,
Ye Xuan directly summoned his Pokeball Martial Soul.
His thick Hundred-Year Soul Ring floated into view as well.
However,
when Yu Tianheng saw Ye Xuan release his Martial Soul
and the Soul Ring behind him,
he burst out laughing.
The prodigies gathered around to watch were also amused by the sight.
"Hahaha, is he really His Holiness the Pope's second disciple? A ten-year first ring?"
"I'm dying. A Soul Master with a Ten-Year Soul Ring challenging a Soul Grandmaster with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul."
"Pfft, this is too funny. Why would His Holiness the Pope of Spirit Hall take him as a disciple? Hahaha!"
Laughter rose and fell all around, and Yu Tianheng wanted to maintain his aloof image.
But the contrast between Ye Xuan now and his boastful words earlier was just too great.
Soon,
Ye Xuan noticed the change in the color of his Soul Ring too.
But in an instant, he realized
that Xiao Wu's Soul Ring had probably been tainted by the energy of the Moon Stone.
Now that it was midday, the sun's light obscured the moonlight.
So it looked no different from an ordinary Ten-Year Soul Ring.
Hu Liena grew a little nervous when she saw this.
A month ago, Ye Xuan's Soul Ring had still been a rich Hundred-Year Soul Ring.
"Alas, there's no point explaining this to you. We'll settle it with our fists."
As he spoke,
Ye Xuan's "Ten-Year Soul Ring" gleamed with a radiance far beyond that of any Ten-Year Soul Ring.
Then,
"Bright Moon Demon Rabbit!"
he cried.
A pair of white rabbit ears appeared on his head.
After Xiao Wu fused with the Moon Stone, which had been altered by the Martial Soul,
her bloodline had evolved too.
She had advanced from a Soft Bone Rabbit into the more powerful Bright Moon Demon Rabbit.
Although this rabbit received a tremendous boost under the moonlight, it was still far stronger in battle during the day than an ordinary Soft Bone Rabbit.
At that moment,
his blood and strength had both risen to the peak of a Hundred-Year Bright Moon Demon Rabbit.
He had also gained all the abilities of a Hundred-Year Bright Moon Demon Rabbit.
Yue Guan, watching from a distance, had initially been wondering why His Holiness the Pope had taken Ye Xuan as a disciple.
But the moment he clearly sensed the surge of aura within Ye Xuan after he used his Soul Skill,
he was astonished.
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, who had been watching the spectacle, naturally sensed the aura emanating from Ye Xuan too.
Yu Tianheng was standing right in front of Ye Xuan.
He was still laughing.
Laughing at Ye Xuan's "Ten-Year Soul Ring," and at his own overestimation.
Seeing this,
however,
Ye Xuan's figure blurred into a streak and vanished from where he stood.
Only then did Yu Tianheng realize that he was in the middle of a fight.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Possession!"
Almost instantly, lightning coiled around him as he fused with the imposing phantom of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
But as a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, his speed couldn't keep up with Ye Xuan at all.
"Bang—!!"
Ye Xuan's powerful kick swept upward and struck Yu Tianheng under the chin, the move exactly like a rabbit kicking an eagle.
Xiao Wu, inside the Pokeball, gave Ye Xuan a thumbs-up at the sight.
"Wow! You're amazing, Xuanxuan! That pose was absolutely perfect!"
