By the time Jiang Yuan arrived at the scene, he saw two boys of about ten who had summoned their martial souls and were fighting fiercely.
One of them was probably Yan, one of Douluo Dalu's three great simps.
Jiang Yuan did not recognize the other person, but he did recognize the martial soul in his hand.
The Coiling Dragon Staff!
It seemed he was a clansman of Qianjun and Xiangmo Douluo.
The two of them were worthy of being Spirit Hall prodigies. Yan would become one of the Golden Generation in the future, and he was already displaying formidable strength now.
With their ages not far apart, Yan's cultivation was around three levels higher than Qiangu Xingchen's, and the Flame Lord also possessed the power of both fire and earth attributes.
Even though Qiangu Xingchen had the Indomitable Staff Technique passed down through his clan, he was still being firmly suppressed by Yan.
"Stop! Don't fight anymore."
Just as Jiang Yuan was watching with great interest, a delicate shout tinged with anger rang out.
Turning his head, he saw a boy and a girl hurrying over from not far away.
The boy had neat black short hair like steel needles, and his face was calm. He followed closely beside the girl, his sharp gaze constantly sweeping the surroundings.
When his gaze passed over Jiang Yuan, it paused slightly, then fell on Yan and Qiangu Xingchen, who were in the middle of fighting.
The girl looked very similar to the boy. The expressions on their faces seemed as if they had been carved from the same mold. She had short golden hair, and at first glance, she did not seem especially beautiful, but her entire body gave off a strange, alluring charm.
"Nana!"
Seeing Hu Liena arrive, Yan immediately stopped what he was doing and stood there at a loss, like a puppy that had done something wrong.
Qiangu Xingchen, on the other hand, looked completely unconcerned. Even though he had been the one at a disadvantage in the fight just now, there was always a faint arrogance in his eyes. Only when he looked at Hu Liena did a hint of heat appear in them.
"Why were you fighting?"
"Private brawls are strictly forbidden in the training camp. If you have a conflict, report it to the instructor and settle it in the arena."
"And also, call me Classmate Hu Liena."
Hu Liena's brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Qiangu Xingchen with some disgust.
The look in his eyes made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Nana, we..."
Facing Hu Liena, Yan immediately became unable to speak. Besides, their reason for fighting had never been justifiable to begin with, and he did not dare let Hu Liena know about it at all.
"We were just sparring."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. Yan, remember what I said."
Qiangu Xingchen said this calmly, gave Yan one last warning, then showed Hu Liena a smile before quickly turning and leaving.
Behind him came Yan's furious voice.
"You're the one who lost to me. Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?"
Qiangu Xingchen had clearly grown used to the other party's curses. He paid them no mind, but when he passed by Xie Yue, a faint warning entered his ears, making his steps pause slightly.
"Qiangu Xingchen, stay away from my sister, and don't scheme against her. Otherwise, I won't be polite to you."
"Our family can't hope to reach the heights of the Qiangu clan."
Qiangu Xingchen gave Xie Yue a deep look, then disappeared from their sight without saying a word.
"What a clichéd plot."
After watching for a while, Jiang Yuan had already roughly guessed the cause of the incident. It was nothing more than jealousy and fighting over a girl.
Still, the people of Douluo Dalu really were precocious.
With no more excitement to watch, Jiang Yuan lost interest. He prepared to go back, tidy up a little, then head to the training field for the afternoon lessons.
"Kid, are you a new student?"
Xie Yue walked over and looked at Jiang Yuan curiously. Behind him followed Hu Liena, who was scolding Yan, and Yan, who did not dare talk back and wore a fawning expression.
"Jiang Yuan." Jiang Yuan nodded calmly and looked at the three people in front of him.
"My name is Hu Liena. The training camp is already halfway through, yet there's actually a new student joining. And little Jiang Yuan, aren't you way too young? Did your martial soul just awaken?"
Hu Liena sized Jiang Yuan up with great curiosity.
The training camp recruited students once a year, and transfer students were rare, let alone one as young as Jiang Yuan.
Faced with Hu Liena's question, Jiang Yuan nodded, not really wanting to pay her any attention.
Although the three of them were older than him, in his eyes, they were all just brats.
Rather than spend time dealing with them, he might as well think about what to eat tonight.
He had discovered that ever since his martial soul awakened, his appetite had been growing faster and faster.
"Brat, what kind of attitude is that? Why are you ignoring Nana?"
As someone who cared about looks, Hu Liena was not annoyed even though Jiang Yuan was extremely indifferent and even ignored her. Instead, she chattered on the entire way.
But while Hu Liena had no objections, Yan could not take it anymore.
He could not allow anyone to ignore his goddess like that.
Not even a six-year-old brat.
"Yan!"
The moment Yan said that, Hu Liena was the first to frown, glaring at him in anger.
"Sorry, I have social anxiety!"
Jiang Yuan did not bother arguing with a simp. After replying flatly, he quickly prepared to put some distance between himself and the three of them.
"Stop right there!"
Jiang Yuan's attitude, coupled with Hu Liena's reprimand, instead made Yan's anger surge. He shouted furiously and quickly reached out to grab Jiang Yuan's arm.
But Jiang Yuan seemed to have foreseen it. With a slight turn of his body, he dodged the grab.
At that moment, the look he gave Yan had already changed.
"Looks like you're not just stupid, but reckless too."
Yan looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise. He had not expected himself to miss, but after being mocked by Jiang Yuan, his anger stacked up again.
"Brat, who the hell are you to judge me?"
With anger surging up, Yan erupted on the spot under the gazes of the others, throwing a punch straight at Jiang Yuan's chest.
"Yan, stop!"
Yan's move was beyond Xie Yue and Hu Liena's expectations. By the time they tried to stop him, it was already too late.
Smack!
Jiang Yuan caught Yan's fist as if it were nothing. Feeling the nearly negligible force coming from it, he added, "And one more thing: your strength isn't much either."
"How is that possible!"
Looking at Yan, whose fist had been caught by Jiang Yuan, shock flashed through Hu Liena's and Xie Yue's eyes.
As long-term teammates, they knew better than anyone how strong Yan was.
It would not be an exaggeration to call him the strongest in the training camp in terms of raw power.
But today, he had actually been stopped head-on by a six-year-old child?!
"This is impossible!"
With his fist caught by Jiang Yuan, Yan could hardly believe it. He pulled back with all his might, his face flushing red, yet his fist did not move in the slightest.
"Get lost!"
Jiang Yuan gave a light tug, and Yan had no room to resist. His whole body toppled toward Jiang Yuan, and then a foot kicked him in the chest, sending him flying more than ten meters and nearly making him faint on the spot.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan was afraid he might kick him to death outright, so he held back a little, merely leaving him unable to catch his breath for a while.
"Hiss!"
