Come to My Room Tonight~

"I believe you'll keep your promise, Senior."

As Su Changqing's words fell, three spirit rings—one yellow and two purple—rose from beneath his feet once again.

Yan released his spirit rings in the very next moment as well.

Two yellow and two purple—an impeccable optimal spirit ring configuration.

"Yan, martial soul: Flame Lord. Level forty-five control-type, assault-type Battle Spirit Master."

As Yan revealed his Soul Power Level, the students below the stage erupted in admiration.

"Level forty-five? I remember Senior Yan was still level forty-four five days ago, wasn't he?"

"So powerful! As expected of the third-ranked student in our academy, second only to Senior Hu Liena!"

"Senior Yan can also use control-type abilities, and the gap in Soul Power between them is so huge. This Su Changqing is probably done for!"

The students had already sentenced Su Changqing to death. Even Hu Liena, watching from below the stage, could not help becoming worried.

After all, Yan could also function as a control-type. No matter how fast Su Changqing was, could he still fight if he got controlled?

Yan's First Spirit Skill was an area-wide crowd-control skill. It did not even need to hit its target!

"Changqing..."

On the arena.

"Begin!"

At the referee's command, Yan launched his attack almost instantly!

"First Spirit Skill, Hell Lava Charge!"

"Second Spirit Ability, Granite Rock!"

He unleashed two spirit skills right away—one enhancement and one control-enhanced assault—clearly intending to give Su Changqing no opportunity at all!

"Why isn't he dodging? Is that kid insane?"

"That's the Flame Lord! A mere Soul Elder trying to take it head-on? He'll probably be burned to ashes!"

The students all thought Su Changqing had lost his mind, but what they did not know was that he had never intended to dodge in the first place!

"Flame Lord?"

Su Changqing lightly uttered those words. Then, Golden Light enveloped his body as he raised a hand to block.

Bang!

The instant Yan made contact with Su Changqing, he was forcibly stopped. This collision only produced a relatively loud sound.

"What? Impossible! My First Spirit Skill explodes upon hitting its target and has a stunning effect. How could you be completely unharmed?!"

Yan was utterly dumbfounded!

His martial soul was unquestionably among the finest, second only to an ultimate martial soul. No matter how hard he racked his brain, he could not understand why this was happening!

"A mere mortal flame dares call itself a lord?"

Su Changqing's cold, disdainful words rang out. Immediately afterward, the Light Element around him began to transform into blazing golden flames!

"My martial soul is immune to all fire attributes. Before the True Sun Fire, all you can do is submit! This is absolute suppression!"

As Su Changqing finished speaking, he exerted a little force and instantly blasted Yan away!

Yan barely steadied himself at the edge of the arena, but the flames around his body had vanished, consumed by the True Sun Fire.

"It's time to end this, Senior Yan."

As Su Changqing's indifferent words fell, the Third Spirit Skill ring beneath his feet lit up.

"Third Spirit Skill, Divine Steed: Extreme Light Wave!"

Bzzz—

An ultimate golden beam shot forth, striking Yan in the blink of an eye.

He was not swallowed by the beam and reduced to ash. Instead, its terrifying explosive force sent him flying off the arena, embedding his body directly into the academy's city wall!

Su Changqing had held back!

Even so, one move had directly ended this spirit battle!

Only a minute had passed since the fight began!

"No, it's over? Just like that???"

"Huh? Senior Yan had the top-tier Flame Lord martial soul and level forty-five Soul Power, yet he was instantly defeated by this kid in less than a minute???"

"This... has to be fake!"

Every student wore an expression of disbelief. Even the referee was dumbstruck!

Was this really combat power a three-ring Soul Elder could possess?

Su Changqing transformed into a streak of Golden Light and instantly shifted to Yan, who was still embedded in the wall.

"Senior, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

"You..."

Yan was gritting his teeth, but he did not even have the strength to pull himself out of the wall. He could only glare viciously at Su Changqing.

He had never suffered such humiliation before!

"Senior, you're not planning to go back on your word, are you?" Su Changqing mocked.

At that moment, Hu Liena walked over and looked at Yan with an indifferent expression.

"Nana..."

"Whether you swear or not has nothing to do with me. I have no interest in you whatsoever. This matter ends here. I hope you won't bother me again in the future."

After saying that, Hu Liena directly grabbed Su Changqing by the wrist and led him away beneath everyone's gaze.

Watching the two leave, Yan was overcome by a powerful sense of helplessness!

"Su Changqing...!!"

Hu Liena and Su Changqing left just like that under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Sister Nana, I've already gotten familiar with most of the academy. Go take care of your business," Su Changqing said.

Hu Liena nodded lightly upon hearing that.

"Mm, I need to see my teacher at this time. Go back to your dorm and rest first."

A hint of amusement appeared on Su Changqing's face.

He rose slightly on his toes and pressed his lips beside her ear.

"Sister Nana, remember to come to my room tonight~"

"Mm..."

Feeling that warmth beside her ear, Hu Liena's pretty face unconsciously flushed.

"You're so annoying. You still dare tease your sister!"

Hu Liena gave Su Changqing a mock-angry smack, then turned and walked toward the academy entrance.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned her head halfway back.

"I'll come."

After leaving those words behind, her figure gradually disappeared from Su Changqing's sight.

After Hu Liena left, the smile on Su Changqing's face faded back into calmness. He turned and headed toward his dorm.

Nighttime.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Come in."

Still in a meditative state, Su Changqing opened his eyes.

The door to the single dorm room opened, and Hu Liena walked in with a hint of nervousness on her face.

"It's so late. What did you need your sister for?" Hu Liena asked with a slightly seductive expression.

Su Changqing smiled faintly. "Sister Nana, why are you pretending to be confused again? Didn't I say I'd help you increase your Soul Power tonight?"

Hu Liena pursed her lips.

This little brother Changqing was still too young. He simply did not understand many things at all.

She had clearly wanted to flirt with him just now, yet he had not noticed in the slightest!

"So, how do you plan to help me increase my Soul Power?"

"Did you bring the immortal herbs from Chen Liang's basement? Take them out."

"I brought them."

Hu Liena took out all the immortal herbs.

The glow of these immortal herbs had already dimmed considerably. Clearly, they had been out of the soil too long and were close to dying.

Su Changqing selected one of them.

"This one suits you. Aromatic Silk Beauty—it can elevate your spiritual level, greatly strengthen your charm techniques, and grant you resistance to poison. Come, absorb it!"

"Alright."

Hu Liena did not ask any questions. She directly accepted the immortal herb and began absorbing it.
