Holding Back? I Wasn't

Three black lines appeared on Golden Crocodile's head. He had been so busy chatting that he had forgotten that, including Jun Xuehan, there were only two people among the younger generation of the Qian Family.

"Big brother, let's continue watching those two little guys spar," Golden Crocodile changed the subject, no longer responding to Qian Daoliu's words.

Golden Crocodile is the most senior member in the entire Spirit Hall. Even Qian Daoliu, who is the Great Worship Elder, is a generation younger than Golden Crocodile.

The reason Golden Crocodile calls Qian Daoliu brother" is because Golden Crocodile is loyal to the Angel Lineage, and Qian Daoliu's strength surpasses his. After all, there's a saying: "The Capable Are Teachers."

Worship Hall, in the rear hall of the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong appeared at some unknown time, her gaze quietly fixed on the golden and silver light before her.

"Teacher, is that a domain? Junior Brother actually possesses a domain." Hu Liena stood beside Bibi Dong and said softly.

"Yes, that's a domain. Domains are extremely rare on the continent. Even Titled Douluo might not possess one. And in battle, if used properly, a domain can turn the tide of battle." Bibi Dong nodded slightly and said softly.

"Turning the tide?" Hu Liena blinked gently, looking at the situation ahead, and said, "Teacher, I don't think my junior brother is much stronger than me now. Have I become stronger, or has he become weaker?"

Bibi Dong smiled and shook her head, saying, "What you see now is only what he wants you to see. Although Xuehan is Assault System and is good at frontal assaults, he is even more skilled with guns than with his bare hands."

"In other words, besides releasing his domain to counter Xue's domain, did your junior brother use any other Soul Skill?"

"Nana, I can tell you very clearly that, on the entire continent, as long as the older generation of powerhouses don't make a move, his strength is unparalleled among the younger generation. In fact, even among the older generation, there are basically no more than fifty people who can defeat him."

Bibi Dong's voice was soft, but it was full of calm and a hidden pride.

Looking back, she had asked Jun Xuehan what her goal was. Jun Xuehan's "small goal" was to become the Number One of the Younger Generation. As it turns out, in just eight years, Jun Xuehan has already achieved the strength to dominate the younger generation.

Teaching an outstanding disciple is something to be proud of. To be Bibi Dong's disciple, even if you can't be the strongest, you still need to be among the top.

"Teacher, are the fifty older generation people you mentioned referring to our Spirit Hall?" Hu Liena asked with some surprise.

"I'm referring to the entire continent, not just our Spirit Hall." Bibi Dong glanced at the two people competing, then turned and quietly left.

"The entire continent!" Hu Liena's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Jun Xuehan, who was enveloped in silver light.

But he quickly came to his senses and followed Bibi Dong straight away.

Not long after they left, the sky gradually turned a pale white, and a ray of light shone on the earth, gradually brightening the somewhat gloomy sky.

The Angel Domain and the Elemental Domain vanished, leaving only a wisp of silver hair fluttering in the air. Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue each withdrew their Martial Soul and stood facing each other.

Jun Xuehan glanced at the strands of hair floating in mid-air, shrugged indifferently, and said, "Xue'er, you win. Your Martial Soul has evolved, and your strength is indeed extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue rolled her eyes. She could clearly feel the improvement in her strength, and she knew exactly why she was able to win.

Jun Xuehan was clearly going easy on herself. Although Jun Xuehan's acting was very realistic, Qian Renxue could still tell the difference.

"Hmph, my strength has improved quite significantly, but it seems you were holding back, Xuehan." Qian Renxue walked straight up to Jun Xuehan, a haughty expression on her face.

"I didn't let you off the hook?" Jun Xuehan smiled and immediately denied it.

"No?" Qian Renxue asked softly.

"Even if there is, it's only a tiny bit." Jun Xuehan put his arm around Qian Renxue's slender waist, sat down casually, and watched the sunrise on the horizon.

At the entrance of the Worship Hall, Golden Crocodile looked at the explanation of the two's contest and slowly said, "I really didn't expect that Xue'er could gradually turn the tables."

Qian Daoliu slowly turned around and said, "I'm getting old. It's still early. I can go back and catch up on some sleep."

After exchanging a glance, Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile quietly returned to the Worship Hall.

One of them was a level 98 Super Douluo, and the other was Level 99 Limit Douluo. With their eyesight, they could naturally see what the competition was all about.

Jun Xuehan held Qian Renxue in her arms, watching the sun gradually rise on the horizon, and said softly, "Xue'er, you know what, the view of the sunrise from the Worship Hall, although not as beautiful as that outside the Martial Soul Academy, is still quite pretty."

Qian Renxue nodded gently and said, "It's a matter of angle and time. Last time we were on the hill Spirit City, and now we are in the Worship Hall."

"However, Xuehan, have you forgotten something?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Jun Xuehan blinked and said, "Are you talking about the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament? Judging by the time, they probably still have about half a month to go. The teachers at the Pope's Palace should have already started arranging the construction of the temporary arena needed for the competition."

Qian Renxue looked at the sunrise and said, "Do you still remember that you didn't prepare in advance for the accommodations that Blazing Gloom Academy needed? Although Blazing Gloom Academy members are participating in the competition, you can't just have them stay at the Spirit Hall, can you?"

Jun Xuehan nuzzled Qian Renxue's cheek and said softly, "What's there to arrange? Aren't there many hotels in Spirit City? When Zhu Zhuqing and the others return, we can let them stay in a hotel until the competition is over before they go back to the Spirit Hall."

Jun Xuehan's voice was full of indifference. He didn't lack this little bit of money now, and the massive Spirit Hall would certainly not lack money either.

"This arrangement is fine for now, but you need to make arrangements for the future as well. They can't appear as the Spirit Hall before your identity is exposed, otherwise it might lead to your identity being exposed prematurely." Qian Renxue nodded slightly, reminding her.

"Don't you trust me to handle things, Xue'er? I've arranged everything perfectly," Jun Xuehan said softly with a gentle smile.

Starting tomorrow, I will guarantee at least two updates per day, and try to maintain a stable four or five updates per day.
