Divine Sense Crushes Leng Yaozhu

"I am not qualified to know?" Leng Yaozhu's expression turned ugly in an instant.

She stared fixedly at Long Yuan, trying to discern some clue or bluff from him.

But unfortunately, no matter what she thought, Long Yuan's expression remained exceptionally calm, as if he were merely stating a fact.

Of course, it was indeed a fact.

The affairs of the Dragon Clan and the God Realm were unknown even to some newly ascended deities; how could a mere Limit Douluo possibly know of them?

Seeing that Leng Yaozhu still wore a look of confusion, Long Yuan's pupils gradually began to glow with golden light.

"Roar—"

A deafening dragon roar resounded in Leng Yaozhu's ears. The golden light in the depths of Long Yuan's eyes scorched her vision, and the overbearing dragon might caused her martial soul to tremble.

Leng Yaozhu froze, cold sweat instantly seeping from her back, and she dared not move a muscle.

It took a full three seconds for her to recover from the dragon might, and she barely managed to muster her spiritual power to resist the overwhelming pressure.

"Hoo—hoo—"

Heavy breathing echoed clearly in her ears, yet it could not mask the shock in her heart.

How was this possible?

He was clearly only a level 60 Spirit Emperor; how could he erupt with such powerful pressure? One had to know that even if she wasn't a Limit Douluo known for her spiritual power, she had still reached the level of Thought Materialization; otherwise, she could never have become a Limit Douluo.

And that dragon might—her Heavenly Phoenix martial soul was a super martial soul not inferior to the Golden Dragon, yet in front of him, it felt like a chick shivering in fear, unable to even muster the will to resist.

Although Lu Fengnian did not feel that pressure, seeing the pale face of Leng Yaozhu before him and the composed Long Yuan, he knew exactly what had happened.

But what could he do at a time like this? Nothing at all; he could only shrink his neck and play the ostrich.

My little ancestor, why are you causing trouble at a time like this?

Long Yuan and Leng Yaozhu had no time to spare for Lu Fengnian's actions now. After this moment, Leng Yaozhu had barely managed to adapt, so she released her vast spiritual power, hoping to win through sheer quantity.

Long Yuan naturally would not give her that chance, so he released eighty percent of his spiritual power in one go.

The golden light in his eyes flared, and the terrifying dragon might almost condensed into a physical form, pressing down upon Leng Yaozhu like a collapsing sky.

Caught off guard, Leng Yaozhu had no time to resist and was suppressed by the dragon might. Her spiritual power recoiled violently back into her Sea of Consciousness, causing a backlash that struck her instead.

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of blood sprayed from her lips, and Leng Yaozhu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

In contrast, Long Yuan only swayed twice before steadying himself with his powerful physical constitution.

Gu Yuena stayed by Long Yuan's side. Although she could not feel the clash just now, her rich past experience already told her what had transpired.

Thus, she sat up straight with a sense of reflected glory, a smile even appearing on her face.

One would think she was the one who had defeated Leng Yaozhu just now.

Lu Fengnian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

It seemed that Her Excellency Heavenly Phoenix had just been defeated by Long Yuan.

Hiss—

Lu Fengnian drew a sharp breath.

This child is truly terrifying!

"Cough—cough—" Leng Yaozhu coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood before finally recovering, shedding her previous disheveled appearance.

However, for some reason, Long Yuan noticed that there was actually a smile on her face.

Seriously? Is Leng Yaozhu a masochist?

Long Yuan was truly stunned now. With her current state, combined with her "love-struck" brain, if he handed his own little love-struck girl over to her, wouldn't things turn into some bizarre style?

Leng Yaozhu had no idea what Long Yuan was imagining. She cupped her hands toward him: "Thank you. Although my spiritual power suffered a backlash, I felt the power of a higher realm, and I have benefited greatly."

Reflecting on the dragon might from just moments ago, Leng Yaozhu felt that her spiritual power realm had actually improved slightly. One had to know that in the world beyond Thought Materialization, even the slightest progress required painstaking effort that could take an unknown amount of time to achieve.

This was the reason for her smile. As for the backlash, it was merely a matter of recuperation. As the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, there was no treasure for repairing spiritual power she couldn't find, but opportunities for progress were rare.

Seeing that the other party had conceded, Long Yuan understood that his goal had been achieved.

"Alright, Your Excellency Heavenly Phoenix, let us discuss business. Why exactly did you want to see me today?"

Leng Yaozhu dared not put on any airs now. She smiled bitterly: "I originally intended to check your aptitude while passing by, but now..."

There was no need for her to evaluate him anymore. If someone like Long Yuan, a genius, were known to Qiangu Dongfeng, he would likely be begging him to join.

"Then, may I ask what your official business in East Sea City is, Your Excellency?"

Leng Yaozhu originally wanted to refuse, but upon second thought, it wasn't a secret anyway. Since the other party had already joined the Spirit Pagoda, there was no harm in speaking of it.

Thus, she explained: "Five days ago, a batch of high-level spirit souls produced by the Spirit Pagoda headquarters was supposed to be delivered to Sky Sea City, but they were intercepted by a group of Evil Soul Masters. The four Spirit Envoys are occupied with important matters, so naturally, an idle person like me had to make the trip."

Long Yuan nodded.

He hadn't expected that Evil Soul Masters had intercepted a batch of high-level spirit souls. No wonder it required a Vice Tower Master like Leng Yaozhu to take action personally.

One had to know that as a force that had stood at the pinnacle of the continent for ten thousand years, it was impossible for the Spirit Pagoda not to have its own channels. Especially regarding the critical business of spirit souls, one could imagine with their toes just how strict the security must be.

As the capital of the Sky Sea Alliance, Sky Sea City was the undisputed premier city in the vicinity of the East Sea, and its security level was clearly higher than anywhere else.

Yet, even with such precautions, the Evil Soul Masters had still managed to abduct the spirit soul, which spoke volumes about the strength of that group.

It was highly likely that a Title Douluo was providing support from the shadows; therefore, having a Limit Douluo like Leng Yaozhu step in was the only way to ensure absolute success.

At this point, Leng Yaozhu kindly offered a warning: "I don't know why, but the movements of those Evil Soul Masters have been increasing lately, and they are becoming bolder. You should be more vigilant in your daily life."

"Thank you for the reminder, but if those Evil Soul Masters dare to come, none of them will be leaving."

Leng Yaozhu nodded and looked at the girl beside Long Yuan who had caught her attention: "I haven't asked yet, who is this?"

Long Yuan replied: "She is my younger sister, Gu Yuena."

"Sister?" Leng Yaozhu's intuition told her that the relationship between these two was not that simple.

"I can sense that your sister's talent is likely a once-in-a-century occurrence. Would you allow me to take her as my disciple?"

Leng Yaozhu hesitated for a moment before asking directly.

Although they had just clashed a moment ago, it was quite awkward to immediately ask to take the other party's sister as a disciple.

However, for some reason, she felt a strange sense of destiny connecting her to the girl.
