Laugh! Why aren't you laughing anymore? Weren't you all so fond of laughing just now?

"It seems that if I don't beat their faces until they're swollen today, they won't be satisfied." Lin Ye shrugged helplessly, turned around, and smiled:

"I have no interest in your apology, Hu Liena, but as for you, Yan, eating shit—I must say, you have successfully piqued my interest."

"Hahahaha! Still putting on an act! Fine, fine, fine! Come on then, I'd love to see how you're going to make me eat shit!"

Yan laughed arrogantly.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena also wore expressions of disdain.

The laughter continued.

Lin Ye had already released his Martial Soul, and a yellow soul ring emerged beneath his feet.

In that instant, the laughter of the three, Hu Liena included, came to an abrupt halt.

The smiles on their faces froze; one by one, they gaped, eyes wide, stunned into silence on the spot.

Staring in disbelief at the soul ring beneath Lin Ye's feet, the three were dumbfounded.

"A soul ring... he actually has a soul ring!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!! How could he really have Innate Full Soul Power!"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Yan's face turned incredibly ugly; he could not accept this.

"How can this be? Lin Ye is actually Innate Full Soul Power? I just broke off an engagement with a genius who has Innate Full Soul Power..." Hu Liena found it equally hard to accept.

"What's with those expressions? Laugh! Why aren't you laughing anymore? Weren't you very fond of laughing just a moment ago?" Lin Ye said with a look of sarcasm.

"Damn it!" Hu Liena subconsciously clenched her fists.

Recalling how she had previously acted high and mighty, seeking out Lin Ye to break off their engagement and saying hurtful things to him, Hu Liena felt no sense of wrongdoing, no regret, no apology.

Right now, her heart was filled only with frustration and resentment!

A nameless rage welled up within her!

Because she could not accept that the boy she had looked down upon was, in fact, even more outstanding and more of a genius than she was.

Hu Liena was clearly rattled, roaring, "So what if you have Innate Full Soul Power! I have Innate Soul Power of level 9.5, and I am the personal disciple of His Holiness the Pope! I am no worse than you!"

"Lin Ye, do you dare to spar with me!!"

"That's right! Xie Yue and I both have Innate Soul Power of level 9! It's only a one-level difference; you've just awakened your Martial Soul, you have no right to be arrogant in front of us! Do you dare to challenge me to a one-on-one!"

The two looked unconvinced; given their talent and conceit, they did not believe they would be inferior to someone with Innate Full Soul Power.

Watching them scramble to regain their pride by stepping on him, Lin Ye decided to completely shatter their arrogance today.

"No need for a one-on-one, all three of you come at me together." Lin Ye raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the trio.

The Angel Sword Technique was indeed far more profound and powerful than the sword techniques Lin Ye had practiced before; in these short ten-plus days, his combat power had increased significantly.

Qian Daoliu had said that with his now-accomplished Angel Sword Technique, he was like an invincible existence among those with one soul ring.

But Lin Ye had never fought a Soul Master before, and he had long wanted to find someone to spar with to see just how strong he currently was.

And the trio of Hu Liena made for decent trial stones.

"You want to take on the three of us by yourself? Hahaha! How arrogant!" Yan laughed, incredibly brazen, "Xie Yue and I are already at level 17 soul power; to deal with a kid like you who just awakened his Martial Soul, I can knock you flat within three moves!"

"Lin Ye! You are too arrogant! Not to mention Yan and Xie Yue are level 17, my level 14 soul power is more than enough to handle you!" Hu Liena said coldly.

"Too much talk. If you want to fight, then fight; if not, get lost!"

All three of them had been cultivating for a year or two, and even among their peers, they were top-tier elites.

To be so slighted by Lin Ye!

The three were instantly consumed by rage: "You're courting death! Since you insist on a beating, we will grant your wish!"

"Martial Soul Possession, Flame Lord!"

"Martial Soul Possession, Demon Fox!"

The two released their Martial Souls simultaneously.

Xie Yue did not release his, as in his view, Hu Liena and Yan could easily knock Lin Ye down.

A soul ring rose beneath Lin Ye's feet, and he decisively activated his amplification skill: "First Soul Skill, Angel Sword Domain."

"First Soul Skill, Charm!" Hu Liena gave a wicked smile, her eyes emitting a pink glow: "Yan, do it!"

"Heh, kid, you're finished!" Yan sneered, throwing a punch forward.

The force behind that fist was delivered with malicious intent.

"Nana's Charm control skill is almost impossible to resist for anyone at the same level. Lin Ye, this battle ended the moment it began." Xie Yue's lips curled into a confident smile.

But just as Yan's fist was about to smash into Lin Ye's face.

Lin Ye suddenly swung his arm in an instant, delivering a fierce slap across Yan's face: "Get lost!"

Smack!

"Ahhh!~" Yan was sent flying on the spot, his face full of confusion: ????

"How is this possible! Why didn't Nana's Charm skill control him?"

Xie Yue and Hu Liena's expressions darkened.

Yan, however, was livid. That slap didn't deal much damage, but the insult was off the charts!

"Lin Ye, how dare you slap my face! You're courting death!" Yan roared in a fit of rage, scrambling to his feet and charging madly at Lin Ye with another punch.

"It is you who is courting death."

Lin Ye showed no fear, meeting the charge head-on with a thrust of his sword.

Bang!

Fist collided with blade.

The two forces clashed directly, yet Yan was sent flying back several meters in an instant!

Their strength was simply not in the same league!

"What! Yan has 17 levels of soul power, yet he's completely outmatched in a direct clash of strength against Lin Ye!"

All three of them were shocked.

"This brat isn't as weak as we imagined! Nana! Attack together!" Xie Yue cast aside his contempt, immediately manifesting his Moon Blade martial soul and signaling Hu Liena to join him in a pincer attack.

Xie Yue's blades were incredibly fast, and his angles were cunning and precise.

It was clear he had put a great deal of effort into his swordsmanship; his rapid-fire, multi-hit combos would be difficult for any ordinary first-ring soul master to withstand.

Hu Liena's physical techniques were also quite exceptional, but having only cultivated for a year, her every strike and kick was riddled with openings under the influence of Lin Ye's buff, which doubled his spiritual perception and senses.

Despite their pincer attack, they failed to gain the upper hand and were instead suppressed by Lin Ye!

Lin Ye swung his sword, executing the Angel Sword Technique with movements so smooth and fluid that every strike showcased the perfection of his years of bitter training!

"I, Lin Ye, have been training my swordsmanship since the age of four to strengthen myself, yet you all claimed my practice was useless. Today, I will let you self-righteous people see exactly what my years of effort have amounted to!"

Lin Ye's swordplay grew faster and faster, leaving Hu Liena and Xie Yue unable to attack, forced into a purely defensive stance.

They were being pressed so hard they could barely catch their breath!

"Damn it! How is he this strong?"

"We're being suppressed without any chance to counter!"

Hu Liena and Xie Yue's pride was being ground away, bit by bit.

"Is this the strength you're so proud of? Too weak." Lin Ye taunted as he fought.

The next second.

With a spinning slash, he knocked both of them to the ground.

"Ahhh!"

Bang, bang!

Hu Liena and Xie Yue tumbled to the ground in a sorry state, their faces filled with terror.
