In the courtyard, the two exchanged blows.
Upstairs, two elderly men watched from the window with lowered eyes.
"Who do you think will win?" Ye Renxin rhythmically tapped his fingers against the windowsill.
"Hmm, probably Yanyan. She's already a Soul Elder, while this kid is only eleven. No matter how gifted he is, he shouldn't be a match for her." Dugu Bo replied casually, paying little attention to the fight below.
To him, Cheng Xiao and Dugu Yan's sparring was no different from children playing house. Utterly boring.
Ye Renxin nodded. He shared Dugu Bo's view.
"Hmm?"

"Keep watching!"
Their expressions became much more serious as they stared unblinkingly at the battle in the courtyard. Dugu Yan summoned her Martial Soul and used her first and second soul skills, yet she still could not get close.

Only those with sufficient experience, age, and strength, as well as a deeper understanding of Soul Power, could accomplish such a thing.
Since one could not rely on soul rings to release soul skills, one's control over Soul Power
