Conflict! Qian Renxue: Lin Ye, have you killed anyone?

"Who dares to block my path? Are you looking for death?"

Inside the carriage on the left.

An eleven-year-old golden-haired youth stepped out, carrying an air of overbearing arrogance.

From the carriage on the right, a six-year-old golden-haired boy also emerged.

The two bore a slight resemblance to one another.

They were not ordinary nobles, but members of the Star Luo Imperial Family, the Dai clan: the First Prince, Dai Weisi, and the Third Prince, Dai Mubai.

The two had just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest after obtaining their spirit rings; Dai Weisi was level 21, and Dai Mubai was level 11.

Dai Weisi asked with an impatient expression, "Who made the move?"

"Your Highness, it was this brat. He kicked me several meters away with a single strike. I fear he is a spirit master!"

"A spirit master? Hah." Lin Ye and Qian Renxue were so young they could be at most one-ringed; the hundred fully armed knights were more than enough to take them down easily.

Dai Weisi did not take them seriously at all and ordered, "Take them! Break this brat's legs and toss him aside."

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Dai Mubai barked, stopping them.

He scrutinized Lin Ye carefully. "This brat is about my age and is already a spirit master? It seems he just obtained his spirit ring as well. Perfect, I shall use him to test my current strength!"

Having just obtained his first ring, Dai Mubai was eager to test his power against another spirit master. The corners of his mouth curled upward. "All of you, stand back!"

The knights retreated one after another.

Dai Mubai walked toward Lin Ye with an arrogant air. "Brat, do you know who we are? How dare you block our path! You've gotten yourself into trouble, understand?"

"I'll give you one chance: fight me one-on-one. If you can beat me, we will clear the way and let you pass."

"It remains to be seen who is in trouble, but you are no match for me." Lin Ye did not recognize who was standing before him, but fighting someone his own age was child's play to him.

"I'm no match for you? Hahahaha! Kid, you're quite confident!" Dai Mubai mocked.

He was a genius with innate level 8 spirit power, possessing the top-tier beast spirit, the Evil Eye White Tiger.

Living amidst the brutal power struggles of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai had begun training in physical combat early on. Even though he had just become a one-ringed spirit master, he had yet to encounter an opponent of his own age.

He said with self-conceit, "Fine! Let's put it to the test then. I hope you can stay this confident in a moment."

"Evil Eye White Tiger!"

"Roar!"

A humanoid tiger manifested behind Dai Mubai, radiating a powerful aura.

"This spirit... is he Dai Mubai!?" Lin Ye's expression shifted as he finally recognized him.

"So the older one is Dai Weisi?"

"I thought they were just ordinary nobles, but it turns out they are the Star Luo Imperial Family."

"Hah, a brat like you? I can knock you down with a single punch!" Dai Mubai lunged with a fierce punch, a confident smirk on his face.

"Is that so?"

Seeing this, Lin Ye instantly summoned the Angel Holy Sword and slashed out.

Bang!

"Ugh, ah!" Dai Mubai immediately let out a miserable cry as he was sent flying by the strike.

"Is that it? You're not very good, are you!" Lin Ye taunted.

"How is this possible!" Dai Mubai was stunned.

His Evil Eye White Tiger spirit had been overpowered in a direct clash of strength!

Dai Weisi jeered, "Hahaha! My foolish brother, even after becoming a one-ringed spirit master, you are still such a piece of trash!"

"How dare you!" Dai Mubai was furious, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes. "Brat! You are courting death!"

"First Spirit Skill: White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

Dai Mubai activated his defensive buff and lunged with another punch.

Lin Ye sidestepped, easily evading the fist. Amidst the flash of steel, a cold blade was already pressed against Dai Mubai's throat.

"Oh? Is it me courting death, or you?" Lin Ye stared at Dai Mubai with a cold expression.

The sword pressed against his neck, right over the carotid artery!

If it had moved even a fraction closer, he would undoubtedly be dead!

Dai Mubai's body stiffened, his face filled with terror. He was drenched in cold sweat; if this had been a life-or-death battle, he would already be dead.

I am completely no match for this brat...

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Dai Mubai's temple. He swallowed hard and said, "You... you! Take the sword away! Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are. You lost. Now, clear the way and get lost."

Lin Ye kicked Dai Mubai away without a shred of mercy.

"Dai Mubai, you really are a piece of trash! You can't even handle a one-ring Soul Master; you've truly brought shame upon our Star Luo Imperial Family!" Dai Weisi continued to watch the show, mocking him.

This instantly made Dai Mubai feel as though he had lost all face; as a dignified prince, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

A flash of killing intent crossed his eyes: "Damn it! Brat, don't think you're leaving here easily today! Get him! Cut off one of his arms! And a leg!"

"Getting hot-headed already? The world outside is truly dangerous! Always talking about cutting off arms and legs at the drop of a hat."

Lin Ye sheathed his sword and retreated behind Qian Renxue: "It's about time you stepped in to settle this. Since you're the one who caused this trouble, I'm not playing with them anymore."

"Attack!"

A hundred knights swarmed in to kill.

Qian Renxue finally released her Martial Soul, the radiance of the Six-Winged Angel shining with unparalleled brilliance in the evening twilight.

"A three-ring Soul Elder! This is... this is the Angel Martial Soul!!"

"They are from Martial Soul Hall!!"

The knights charging in were instantly terrified, looking at Qian Renxue with faces full of apprehension, not daring to make a move.

"What! An angel..."

Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai's expressions also shifted, panic appearing on their faces in that instant.

The angel was the symbol of power for Martial Soul Hall.

Once a Six-Winged Angel appeared, ninety-nine percent of the people on the continent had to give way!

Even their Imperial Family was no exception!

Dai Mubai cowered, thinking he had kicked an iron plate.

But he suddenly noticed that the Angel Martial Soul behind Qian Renxue only had two wings, and the fear on his face quickly turned into a vicious glare: "She isn't from the Six-Winged Angel clan!"

"The Six-Winged Angel has six wings, but she only has two! She is just a common angel!"

"Oh ho, the situation has gone south, Qian Renxue. Get ready to bolt; they seem to have mistaken you for a common angel."

Lin Ye knew the truth.

Aside from the Six-Winged Angel, Martial Soul Hall possessed a group of people with two-winged angel martial souls—the Angel Legion from the original records—all of whom possessed angel martial souls.

"What is there to fear?" Qian Renxue showed no intention of retreating, her face even carrying a faint trace of confidence as she suddenly asked: "Lin Ye, have you ever killed anyone?"

"No, Miss, these are the Star Luo Imperial Family; there's no telling what kind of experts might be protecting them in the shadows. With our teacher not around, please don't mess around!"

"Rest assured, we will be fine." Qian Renxue smiled confidently.

Dai Mubai roared: "Attack! Get them! Cripple them!"

"Attack!"

All one hundred knights swarmed forward.

Opposite them, two other Soul Masters also released their martial souls, both of them four-ring Soul Ancestors.

"Leave these two Soul Ancestors to me; you handle the rest of these knights." Qian Renxue took action immediately.

Seeing this, Lin Ye also instantly raised the Angel Holy Sword in his hand and charged into the crowd.
