As soon as these words were spoken, Di Ruila's composure shattered, and he flew into a rage on the spot!

As the top genius of the Agility Attack System at the Martial Soul Hall Academy, he was actually being mocked for his speed by a mere child!

This was something he absolutely could not accept!

Su Changqing must die!

"You're asking for death!!!"

Di Ruila's second Soul Ring lit up.

"Second Spirit Ability, Gale Divine Claw!"

A phantom image of a giant claw appeared. Di Ruila leaped into the air, his speed and explosiveness far exceeding his previous attempt!

"Boom—"

Thick smoke billowed out once more. In the next instant, a golden light flashed again, and Su Changqing's figure reappeared in everyone's sight.

"Senior, you're no good, still too slow! You can't even catch me, how will you ever catch up to the girl you like? Or rather, will the girl you like be able to shake you off as easily as I shake you off?"

"Bastard!!!"

Di Ruila burst out of the smoke, charging at Su Changqing again.

At this point, he had almost lost his mind!

Su Changqing's mouth was simply too venomous!

And just yesterday, his goddess had solemnly drawn a line between them. One could imagine how devastated Di Ruila was at that moment!

But being enraged was useless. Even if he angered himself to death, he still wouldn't be able to touch a single hair on Su Changqing's head.

The two exchanged blows back and forth ten times. The expressions of the students below the stage could no longer be described as shocked!

"How can a Rabbit Spirit possess such speed? Something's not right!"

"I'm curious too. Fast speed is one thing, but the most crucial point is that he's only a Soul Elder. How can a Soul Elder's speed possibly be faster than a Soul Ancestor, especially when they're both in the Agility Attack System?"

"You're not observing closely enough. Haven't you noticed that this kid hasn't even used a single Soul Skill since the beginning? That's the most unbelievable part! Di Ruila can't even touch him, and he hasn't even unleashed a Soul Skill!"

"This... is he really human???"

On the Spirit Duel stage.

Di Ruila had stopped attacking, his face pale as he gasped for breath.

He had already unleashed over twenty moves, and Su Changqing's shoe soles were only slightly dirty.

If one had to be precise, the dust kicked up had indeed touched Su Changqing.

"Senior, your Soul Power is almost depleted, isn't it? Are you really going to be worn down to death by a mere Soul Elder?" Su Changqing said mockingly.

"You—Go to hell!!!"

Di Ruila's forehead veins bulged, and his fourth Soul Ring lit up.

"Fourth Spirit Ability, Gale Phantom Slash!"

"Hum!"

A strong gust of wind erupted, and then Di Ruila's body split into five identical clones, each with 50% of his own spiritual power fluctuations.

And at this moment, the amplification effect of his first Spirit Ability hadn't even worn off yet!

"Kid, this move of mine has a locking effect on movement. Unless your Soul Power is higher than mine, your speed will definitely be slower than mine. Even the fastest Martial Soul on the continent will only be on par with me! Prepare to die!"

As Di Ruila's voice fell, his main body, along with the five clones, attacked with overwhelming killing intent. This strike was guaranteed to hit Su Changqing and kill him!

"Sigh."

Su Changqing sighed, and the Light Element around him surged instantly.

That terrifying aura directly caused Di Ruila's attack speed to falter!

"So what if you can't dodge? Isn't it enough that I made you stop?"

Su Changqing's light words fell, and then the first Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.

"First Spirit Skill, Holy Light Radiance!"

"Hum—"

An intense golden light erupted, instantly engulfing Di Ruila and his five clones!

The spectators below also lost their vision temporarily.

"Ah—"

Di Ruila let out a scream. More than half of his clothes were incinerated, and more than half of his skin was burned.

The clones were all destroyed.

Since Su Changqing had not used his second Spirit Ability, and considering the difference in Soul Power Levels between them, the damage caused by this first Spirit Ability was relatively limited.

This was precisely the effect Su Changqing had hoped for.

If he had used his second Spirit Ability, Di Ruila would have been crippled, if not killed. After all, he had just arrived, and the opponent was a subordinate of the future Golden Generation. Killing him directly would have been problematic.

Derrila gritted his teeth against the pain of his burning skin, struggling to unleash his remaining Soul Power to resist the damage from Holy Light Radiance.

But Su Changqing had no patience to wait. He transformed into a golden streak of light and appeared before Derrila, then punched him straight in the face!

The sheer force of the blow sent him flying out of the ring, even knocking out a few of his teeth!

This Spirit Duel was over!

"Referee, isn't it time to announce the result of this match?"

The referee finally snapped back to reality, the Spirit Duel had indeed concluded!

The academy students in the audience had just regained their vision, and all they saw was Su Changqing defeating Derrila with a single punch!

It seemed he had only used one Soul Skill throughout the entire match!

"I, I announce Su Changqing as the winner of this Spirit Duel!"

As the referee's words fell, the venue erupted into noise once more.

"Awesome! So fierce! That was a complete demolition!"

"Crushing a higher-level opponent at a lower level, I've never seen anything like it!"

At this moment, the students in the audience all acknowledged Su Changqing's strength.

Yan, watching from below, had a dark expression plastered across his face. He clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly with anger.

This brat, not only was he getting close to Nana in front of him, but he also beat up his little follower like that and toyed with him!

Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner!

Yan grew more furious the more he thought about it and walked directly onto the Spirit Duel stage.

Su Changqing was just about to step down.

"Stop right there!"

Su Changqing halted his steps.

"Is there something else, Senior Yan? Nana and I have other things to attend to."

"You..."

Yan almost lunged at him the moment Su Changqing spoke.

"I want to have a Spirit Duel with you too!"

"Why should I fight you? There's no benefit at all, and I just finished a match. I'm exhausted."

Su Changqing refused him without a hint of hesitation.

"Do you know my status in this academy? How dare you refuse me?"

"I don't care what you do to me later, but I'm refusing you now, just to make you uncomfortable. What can you do about it?"

Su Changqing wore an expression of utter confidence, looking quite obnoxious.

Yan gritted his teeth. After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"What benefit do you want? A bet?"

"Sure."

"What are we betting on?"

A playful smile appeared on Su Changqing's face upon hearing this.

"If you win, I'll never see Nana again and will voluntarily withdraw from the academy. But if you lose—"

The playful smirk on Su Changqing's face grew even more pronounced.

"You'll shout three times, 'I, Yan, am not worthy of liking Hu Liena,' and you're forbidden from bothering Nana anymore. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Yan's pupils contracted sharply, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He hadn't expected the bet to be of this nature. Was this kid really that confident?

What an ignorant fool!

"Fine, I accept!"

ps: Don't just save this book, dear readers. Please give me all sorts of votes and reads. I'm truly dying from being saved. This is a critical juncture, please, I beg you all.
