Ye Ruilin looked at the eager Wang Tianci, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips.
Although he had no interest in becoming a study companion,
he was somewhat interested in sparring with these people. After all, there were quite a few exceptionally talented individuals present.
"Sure. Please enlighten me."
He waved a hand and then walked toward the crowd.
Wang Tianci froze for a moment, then sneered disdainfully and strode after him.
When Ning Xiaoxian saw that Ye Ruilin had agreed, a sly smile flashed across her face.
She then skipped her way into the crowd.
Ning Tianlong had not expected Ye Ruilin to agree. After thinking it over, he did not step forward to stop him.
They were all just children. With him here, nothing could possibly go wrong.
Besides, the servant following this boy was no ordinary person.
Old Wu glanced at the dense crowd and immediately understood what the Young Master intended.
Ever since obtaining his soul ring, the Young Master had never formally fought in actual combat.
It was obvious that the Young Master wanted to test himself against people his own age and gauge his strength.
Ye Ruilin stood amid the crowd and took two calm, unhurried steps forward.
"Ye Ruilin, Qilin Martial Soul, Level Twelve assault-type Battle Soul Master."
Wang Tianci, standing to one side, chuckled.
"Wang Tianci, Nether Black Panther Martial Soul, Level Nineteen agility attack-type Battle Soul Master."
"Take this."
As he spoke, a sharp glint flashed through his eyes. He suddenly raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and viciously punched toward Ye Ruilin's chest.
His movements were clean and decisive, without any unnecessary flair. He was as agile as a hunting leopard.
Ye Ruilin's gaze sharpened.
From that simple punch alone, he sensed tremendous strength.
Yet he did not retreat. He knew perfectly well that if he backed down, he would only bolster his opponent's momentum.
A ball of flame appeared in his palm. He stepped forward with his right foot, directly closing the distance between them.
Wang Tianci had not expected the boy to move closer instead of retreating.
Surprise flashed through his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a cold smile.
"Courting death. I'll grant your wish."
Just as he thought his fist would slam into Ye Ruilin,
a scorching force suddenly appeared before him. A ball of flame then exploded right in front of him.
Unable to control himself in time, Wang Tianci rolled away in a miserable heap.
No one saw how that ball of flame had appeared.
By the time it appeared, it had already exploded in front of Wang Tianci.
The terrifying force made even the surrounding spectators feel an intense wave of heat.
Ye Ruilin gave Wang Tianci no chance to catch his breath.
The moment Wang Tianci recovered, Ye Ruilin had already appeared behind him.
"Are you going to admit defeat?"
The cool voice came from behind him. Wang Tianci turned around in astonishment and saw Ye Ruilin's calm expression.
"Damn it."
"What the hell is this kid?"
"You do have some tricks, but before an absolute gap in Soul Power, they're useless."
With a cold shout, he rose from the ground once more.
"First Soul Skill, Black Panther Possession."
A yellow soul ring appeared beneath his feet, and a layer of black energy enveloped Wang Tianci in the blink of an eye.
Wang Tianci immediately became incredibly agile. His originally thin body grew stronger, and even his clothes seemed to be stretched tight.
His body leaned slightly forward, and his eyes transformed into an icy emerald green.
Then, a soul ring slowly rose from beside his feet.
Yellow light flashed, and powerful Soul Power surged forth like crashing waves.
In terms of Soul Power Level, he held an overwhelming advantage.
Only when he saw the other man use Soul Power did a satisfied expression appear on Ye Ruilin's face.
A yellow soul ring soon appeared beside his feet as well.
A phantom of a Qilin appeared at his side.
"Fire Qilin Avatar."
As his words fell, an identical fiery-red Qilin slowly emerged.
The onlookers all revealed shocked expressions at the sight.
"Why does his Martial Soul have two of them?"
"Could he be a twin Martial Soul genius?"
Countless speculations rose from the crowd, and every astonished gaze fell upon the Fire Qilin.
Compared to the white Qilin that had appeared first, the Fire Qilin looked more imposing and seemed even more violent.
The flames rising from its body carried a trace of berserk energy.
Wang Tianci was somewhat surprised. This boy actually possessed two Martial Souls.
But then he reconsidered. The gap in Soul Power was something this boy's Martial Souls could not make up for.
He still had a chance to win!
Without the slightest hesitation, he gathered strength and shot toward Ye Ruilin like lightning.
Ye Ruilin's eyes darkened as he directly unleashed his First Soul Skill.
"Dragon Scale Breath."
The Fire Qilin instantly spewed out a scorching wave of heat.
The spectators quickly retreated, afraid that the terrifying Soul Power would reach them.
Wang Tianci's expression changed. When he tried to flee, there was nowhere to escape.
The Fire Qilin's attack range sealed off every possible escape route. He could not evade the Fire Qilin's attack in such a short time.
The scorching heat swept over him. Even in Martial Soul Possession, Wang Tianci still felt stinging pain across his body.
Gritting through the pain, Wang Tianci withdrew from the range of Dragon Scale Breath as quickly as possible.
He thought he was fast enough, but a figure was even faster.
By the time he finally escaped the range of Dragon Scale Breath, someone was already standing before him.
"Admit defeat. You're no match for me."
Ye Ruilin's expression remained calm.
This opponent had still been somewhat disappointing.
He had only used his First Soul Skill.
"Is anyone else coming up?"
Ye Ruilin glanced at the bedraggled Wang Tianci, then swept his gaze over the crowd.
Wang Tianci's face stiffened. He muttered a few words, but could only trudge back dejectedly.
He had to admit that he was no match for this person.
The moment the fight began, he had felt the immense suppression coming from his Martial Soul.
He had originally thought his Soul Power Level could make up for that weakness.
Yet he discovered that the gap between them seemed to extend far beyond their Martial Souls.
Within the crowd, Ning Xiaoxian covered her mouth with her hand and stared in astonishment at the extraordinary young man.
She knew Wang's strength well enough.
She had never expected even Wang to be no match for this boy.
Thinking of how she had provoked him earlier, Ning Xiaoxian's face darkened.
This boy wouldn't hold a grudge, would he?
Outside the crowd, Ning Tianlong remained as composed as ever. He had already made some estimates regarding Ye Ruilin's strength.
The moment he saw the Qilin Martial Soul, he had already guessed Ye Ruilin's identity.
No one from that family was ordinary.
The old man's gaze then fell upon a white-robed youth with loose hair among the crowd.
If anyone among this group could suppress this boy from the Ye Family, it was probably only this one.
