The Inexplicable Senior Sister Reaches a Milestone, Bonus Chapter

Ling Yu enjoyed the meal immensely. After all, he had met another character from the original story. Whenever he saw them, he always felt that he had not come to this world as a mere spectator—he was a participant.

At the table, his actress senior sister had been furious and embarrassed with him just moments ago, yet her attitude toward him during the meal was completely different. After hearing Bibi Dong introduce him and mention that his first Soul Ring had come from a three-thousand-year-old Three-Eyed Golden Phoenix, surprise and an inexplicable look flashed through her eyes. Her attitude then became even more baffling to Ling Yu.

Still, no matter what, Ling Yu had enjoyed this meal. With the entire table covered in thousand-year Soul Beast meat, he could feel both his body and Soul Power taking another huge step forward because of it.

After the meal, Bibi Dong left first because she needed to handle Spirit Hall affairs. Only the senior sister and junior brother remained in the hall, sitting in silent awkwardness.

Ling Yu watched the girl, who had suddenly become somewhat inexplicable. Whenever their eyes met, she would deliberately look away, her cheeks gradually flushing.

He had some guesses, but then he remembered that this was their first meeting. How could that possibly be the case? He was still a child. Though he was rather handsome, winning this senior sister's heart at first sight still felt unrealistic.

"By the way, Senior Sister, I remember you have two friends, right? The three of you were even named Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. How strong are those two?"

Seeing that she was still unwilling to speak, Ling Yu had no choice but to find a topic first, trying to ease the atmosphere.

When Hu Liena heard Ling Yu's voice, her body instantly trembled. She could not understand what this junior brother of hers was thinking either. He had clearly scratched her palm just now. She had seen that sort of thing at the academy before; it was usually something couples in love, or two people with an ambiguous relationship, would do. Why had he suddenly done that to her?

Could children nowadays already be this mature?

At that moment, Hu Liena perfectly embodied the image of a sentimental young girl.

"Oh, you mean my brother and Yan! My brother Xie Yue is already level twenty-nine. In a few days, he'll reach level thirty and obtain his third Soul Ring. Yan is the same, though he'll advance a little later than my brother!"

She placed a finger beneath her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "As for their strength, among academy students below Soul Elder rank, they fear no one at the same level! They can even defeat ordinary newly advanced Soul Elders, as long as their martial souls aren't too strong. But even if they win, they won't be in much better condition than the person they defeated!"

Ling Yu silently nodded. In other words, fighting above one's level was difficult. Sure enough, cheats like Tang San were rare. Even the three members of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation had only a slim chance of defeating a Soul Elder above their rank.

Seeing that he showed no surprise whatsoever, Hu Liena had wanted to explain that she was no weaker than them. But when she recalled what had happened earlier, as well as his first Soul Ring, her expression fell.

"How did you even do it? Your first Soul Ring is actually three thousand years old. Even after reaching level thirty, I can only absorb a Soul Beast of around fifteen hundred years at most. Yet I'm inferior to a six-year-old child who has only just become a Soul Master!"

Watching her reveal the usual melancholy of a young girl, Ling Yu smiled gently. "You don't need to envy me. Although my physical strength is very high, there's still a gap between me and ordinary Battle Soul Masters. Of course, I mean beast martial soul Battle Soul Masters above Soul Ancestor rank. After all, I don't have any Soul Skills that enhance my body.

"You don't need to feel discouraged either. If my talent weren't high, Teacher wouldn't have chosen me. But since Teacher chose both of us, that means your talent still surpasses that of the vast majority of people on the Douluo Continent! You're a genius."

Hearing the boy sitting across from her, picking his teeth with a toothpick, the girl could not help revealing a beautiful, youthful smile.

"You're so young, yet you've already learned how to comfort your senior sister! How did it end up feeling like you're the senior brother and I'm the junior sister instead?"

She covered her small mouth and giggled. "You really are interesting!"

Ling Yu helplessly shrugged. It couldn't be helped. I'm older than you—at least mentally.

After chatting with her for a while longer, Ling Yu headed toward his training room. Though he had not truly fought Hu Liena today, he had gained some idea of his own strength. If he used his martial soul but not his Soul Skills, a spiritual control-type Soul Grandmaster like Hu Liena would have a hard time resisting his attacks!

After entering the training room, Ling Yu pressed the button on the wall, raising the gravity to five times normal, and began training his body.

Once he entered his rhythm, he failed to notice that the training room door had quietly opened. A girl dressed in a yellow martial outfit stood outside, watching Ling Yu train beneath the gravity. As she watched his graceful, relentless punches, her eyes gleamed brightly.

An hour later, Ling Yu walked to the side and was about to reach for a towel on the table to wipe away his sweat when a slender hand offered him the towel first!

"Oh, thanks!"

Ling Yu thanked her, then abruptly turned his head. Hu Liena stood beside him, her legs crossed, head slightly tilted, smiling at him.

"Senior Sister? Why are you here?"

Ling Yu was surprised to see Hu Liena here, though not because she had watched him practice. Baji Quan was not something worth hiding. It was easy to learn, but understanding its true essence was far from easy!

He was simply curious why she had come looking for him.

An inexplicable light flickered in Hu Liena's eyes as she smiled at Ling Yu. "Nothing. I just came to see what Junior Brother's training looked like. I didn't expect you to be so strong. You can stay under five times gravity for so long without any trouble. And the way you were punching just now was so imposing! It looked really good too!"

Ling Yu was confused. "Senior Sister, if you have something to say, just say it. You don't need to keep finding different ways to praise me!"

He knew she must have come here for a reason. Still, the way this senior sister looked at him made him feel as if he were being watched by a hungry wolf.

It was seriously creepy!

"Well, you know my brother will reach level thirty soon. Probably within the next few days. When that happens, I'll definitely go with them to hunt for a Soul Ring, so I wanted to ask whether you could come with me too. Oh, no, I mean come with us! After all, you're even stronger than I am!"

As she said this, a faint flush rose to her cheeks. She did not understand what was wrong with herself either. Was it because this junior brother had scratched her palm, making her heart itch? Or because he was so handsome, the best-looking man she had ever seen?

In any case, when she returned to her room and lay on her bed to prepare for cultivation, she had felt inexplicably restless. Before she knew it, she had wandered here and happened to see him practicing his punches. To be honest, his fierce and majestic stance as he punched had truly drawn her in. She believed she would never forget that sight!
