A Humiliated Gu Yuena

Lin Yue glanced at Gu Yuena.

To guess that he might lack actual strength based on a single sentence—should he say it was only to be expected of the world-renowned wisdom of Gu Yuena?

Yet, it was this same Gu Yuena, possessed of such world-renowned wisdom, who seemed destined to become brain-dead in the future...

"On what grounds?"

"On the grounds that your Soul Beast clan has effectively become the contents of This Seat's pocket. Is that not enough?"

Lin Yue let out a scoff, then spoke with disdain.

"Human..."

Hearing Lin Yue treat their Soul Beast clan as something already in his pocket, Gu Yuena's gaze grew increasingly icy.

If she didn't know that attacks were ineffective against Lin Yue, she would certainly have struck again.

Di Tian, the Snow Empress, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and other powerful Soul Beasts also looked on with equal fury.

"Since you already consider us to be in your pocket, then why do you still require us to submit?"

Gu Yuena forcibly suppressed the rage and killing intent in her heart.

She was analyzing Lin Yue's objective.

"As you said, This Seat's combat ability is average. Requiring your submission is naturally so that you can help This Seat fight!"

"Only once you have submitted will you form a contractual relationship with This Seat's Martial Soul, and only then will This Seat dare to confidently summon you out to fight for This Seat."

Lin Yue did not hide it; there was no need. He was determined to make Gu Yuena and the others choose to submit.

"In other words... you need us, don't you?"

Gu Yuena said calmly.

Her gaze turned even colder. Since he needed their Soul Beast clan, to treat them with such an attitude was simply insolent.

"That is correct, but do not think of standing on equal footing with This Seat. You can only choose to submit, and This Seat only requires your submission!"

Lin Yue laughed heartily.

"Human, how dare you insult our Soul Beast clan like this? You are courting death!"

Hearing Lin Yue speak this way, Di Tian, standing to the side, could no longer contain his explosive rage.

It was not just Di Tian; the other Soul Beasts were all the same.

Every Soul Beast watching through the projection who heard Lin Yue's words was panting like an ox, their eyes burning red.

"And if we refuse?"

Gu Yuena's icy gaze was locked firmly onto Lin Yue.

If looks could kill, Lin Yue would have been riddled with holes and dead ten thousand times over.

"Why do you think This Seat sought you out?"

"This Seat simply does not wish to waste time subduing you one by one!"

"This Seat may not have overwhelming strength, but dealing with you one by one is still an easy task."

"In this world, you may resist This Seat's summons, but if I wish to throw you out of this world, I do not need your consent!"

"If you are unwilling to submit today, or if anyone refuses to submit, I will throw you out one by one."

"Since you are unwilling to submit, then This Seat does not welcome you here either!"

Lin Yue said with a cold sneer.

"You would let us leave?"

Gu Yuena and the other Soul Beasts were stunned by Lin Yue's words, a glimmer of joy flashing in their eyes.

However, they were also somewhat suspicious.

Lin Yue had clearly been unwilling to let them leave just moments ago, treating them as something already in his pocket.

"That is correct. This Seat will throw you, one per day, into the Martial Soul Hall, which possesses the strongest influence and the greatest strength among humans."

"Since you are unwilling to submit, then become the Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones for us humans. Consider it a contribution to our human race!"

Lin Yue continued to sneer.

Dead silence.

A brief, suffocating silence enveloped the space where the top powerhouses of the Soul Beast clan were gathered before Lin Yue.

It was as if even the air had frozen, leaving only Lin Yue's face, twisted in a cruel smile, and his words echoing in the void.

The next second, a volcano erupted!

Gu Yuena's exquisite, peerless face, which seemed carved from eternal ice, showed a violent, uncontrollable distortion for the first time.

"You—dare—!"

Gu Yuena's voice was no longer cold and melodious, but had transformed into a sharp, near-tearing dragon roar! Every word was laden with tangible dragon might and monstrous killing intent. The space around her twisted violently, and various wild elemental energies surged, collided, and annihilated one another without control, emitting heart-stopping hisses.

"ROAR—!!!"

Di Tian was the first to let out a heaven-shaking roar.

"Despicable human! If you dare, I will surely tear you to shreds!" Di Tian's eyes were blood-red, nearly dripping with gore.

After a moment of extreme fury, Gu Yuena forcibly suppressed the destructive impulse threatening to burst from her body. Her violet eyes locked onto Lin Yue, her voice trembling slightly from intense rage, carrying the final vestiges of a ruler's pressure and interrogation: "Human...! Are you threatening us?"

"That's right! This Seat is indeed threatening you!"

"So, do you choose submission, or destruction?"

Lin Yue said calmly.

He had previously considered slowly subjugating these powerful Soul Beasts one by one, but after forcing the Evil Orca King to submit, he had realized something.

It wasn't necessary.

As long as he possessed the means to threaten these Soul Beasts, they would have no choice but to submit to him.

Just as he had said moments ago.

Given the current scarcity of Soul Beasts on the Douluo Continent, if he were to drop them one by one into Martial Soul City, not a single one would be able to escape.

With the capabilities of Martial Soul Hall, capturing these Soul Beasts individually was an effortless task.

Qian Daoliu alone would be enough to give them a hard time.

Not to mention the many Super Douluo-level elders residing in the Worship Hall.

And finally, there was Bibi Dong, who possessed the inheritance of the Rakshasa God!

Even Gu Yuena might not be able to handle that.

After all, the Silver Dragon King was not in her normal state at this time.

"You are shameless!"

Gu Yuena could not help but lash out in a curse.

Yet, after the outburst, she could only seethe with impotent rage; faced with Lin Yue's threat, she truly could not think of any solution.

She desperately wanted to know how this damned human could possess such a terrifying Martial Soul.

"Stop wasting your energy on anger; you had better think clearly about your choice!"

"Is it submission, or destruction?"

"Soul Beast Co-Lord!"

Lin Yue ignored Gu Yuena's fury and continued to force her to make a decision.

"..."

Gu Yuena's expression shifted repeatedly, looking as unsightly as could be. Her fists were tightly clenched; if she could, she would truly want to fight this human before her to the death.

But it had already been proven that in this world, they were simply unable to do anything to him.

"My Lord, you cannot!"

"Our Soul Beast clan must never bow to humans!"

Seeing Gu Yuena's hesitation, Di Tian hurriedly shouted at her: "Even if we die, we cannot let this despicable human have his way!"

"What? A mere subordinate, and you wish to make decisions for your master?"

Lin Yue looked coldly at Di Tian.

He was the one jumping around the most.

This dragon had already paved his own path to death.
