Hu Liena retracted her Soul Power and stood where she was, staring at Ye Han with unwillingness written all over her face.
She had already done everything she could, yet she hadn't managed to restrain Ye Han in the slightest.
This had never happened before.
It left her with a deep sense of frustration.
"My charm is useless against you. Why?"
Hu Liena asked in confusion.
Ye Han held the Coiling Dragon Staff horizontally before him and answered frankly,
"My Coiling Dragon Staff possesses the Evil-Breaking Attribute, so charm-type Soul Ring Skills are also suppressed by it."
Only then did Hu Liena understand. A relieved smile curved her lips.
"No wonder the academy made an exception for you. You're truly strong, completely qualified to join our team and remain on the field at critical moments."
Hu Liena spoke sincerely, without the slightest reluctance.
As the most outstanding control-type Soul Master among Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, she had been won over by Ye Han's strength.
Yan had been watching from the side.
Hu Liena had used all three of her moves without achieving anything, yet she had even praised Ye Han in front of everyone.
As Hu Liena's lapdog, how could he possibly tolerate that?
"Kid, let me have a try!"
Yan had barely taken a step forward when a hand pressed down on his shoulder.
It was Xie Yue.
"Enough. Today's match ends here."
Yan turned to look at Xie Yue, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"But—"
"Ye Han has already fought three matches, so his Soul Power has been depleted. Setting aside whether you can defeat him, even if you win, it won't be honorable. Besides, without even revealing his Spirit Rings, he defeated three people in a row. That's more than enough to prove his strength."
Yan wanted to say something more, but he felt that Xie Yue made sense. He didn't want to take advantage of someone either, so he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
Only then did Xie Yue release him and look at Ye Han.
"Brother Ye Han, were those two moves you used just now Self-Created Soul Skills?"
Ye Han nodded.
"They're more or less Self-Created Soul Skills. The first move is Shaking Heaven, Shattering Earth, while the latter is Heaven and Earth. Both are techniques developed based on my Martial Soul itself and its characteristics."
Upon hearing that, everyone exchanged glances.
No wonder this youth had reached level forty-five at just fifteen years old.
Aside from the quality of his Martial Soul, his comprehension was exceptional as well!
The upper limit of Self-Created Soul Skills was even higher than that of Soul Ring Skills.
But creating a Soul Skill wasn't easy. It required extraordinary comprehension and constant practice.
Xie Yue also possessed a Self-Created Soul Skill called Full Moon.
This Self-Created Soul Skill of his was immensely powerful and allowed him to fight opponents above his level.
At such a young age, Ye Han had already mastered two formidable Self-Created Soul Skills. Even Xie Yue, the team's leader, couldn't help but admire him.
"I'm Xie Yue, the captain of the team."
As he spoke, Xie Yue extended his right hand toward Ye Han.
"Welcome to the team. When we have time another day, let's have a proper spar."
Ye Han shook his hand and smiled.
"Alright. I heard you also have a Self-Created Soul Skill. We'll have a good exchange when the time comes."
The atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.
Only then did Lin Feng step forward and clap his hands, drawing everyone's attention back.
"Alright, now that you've all witnessed Ye Han's strength, stop voicing objections. From today onward, Ye Han is a member of the team. You're a whole, so in your future training and coordination, you must include him."
"No! Teacher Lin, you've misunderstood."
"What is it?"
It wasn't just Lin Feng. Everyone was confused.
Ye Han explained,
"You've trained and worked together for years, and you've long since developed a mutual understanding. The reason I'm joining the team isn't because I want to push any of you out. I simply don't want to see the Soul Master Tournament championship fall into someone else's hands. As a member of Spirit Hall, I have a duty to defend Spirit Hall's honor. I don't want my arrival to upset the team's balance. You can continue training as usual. I'll go out to gain experience for a while and return to the team before the tournament."
After hearing Ye Han's words, everyone exchanged glances, all somewhat dumbfounded.
Yan asked,
"From what you're saying, it sounds like our Spirit Hall Team will encounter obstacles on the road to becoming champions?"
"That's right. An unexpected dark horse will appear. I can't explain the specifics either. In any case, the Soul Master Tournament championship isn't already in our pocket. There will be someone to disrupt things."
After hearing that, everyone's expressions gradually turned solemn.
Lin Feng suddenly said,
"Ye Han's words aren't alarmist. I believe him completely. Back then, Spirit Hall Academy was too careless, which was why the Star Luo Empire stole a championship from us. Although you're called the Golden Generation and are far stronger than previous teams, you must not relax in the slightest until you claim the Soul Master Tournament championship."
"That's right."
Xie Yue took over,
"If Ye Han weren't one of us from Spirit Hall, but from another academy, he would undoubtedly cause us enormous trouble at the Soul Master Tournament. Before today, we had never encountered an opponent like Ye Han. The world is vast and full of wonders. Who can guarantee that other teams don't have geniuses like him?"
Several team members fell silent.
Xie Yue had a point.
Suddenly, a black streak of light descended from the sky, landing before them and taking human form.
It was Demon Subduing Douluo.
Demon Subduing Douluo had witnessed Ye Han defeat three people in succession by himself, and he was delighted beyond measure.
Demon Subduing Douluo looked at Xie Yue and laughed heartily.
"Young man, you make a lot of sense. No wonder you're the brain of the team."
Xie Yue and the others stared at Demon Subduing Douluo, completely stunned.
They knew he was a top-tier powerhouse and possibly someone from Spirit Hall, but they had never seen him before.
Lin Feng recognized Demon Subduing Douluo and hurriedly bowed.
"This junior, Lin Feng, greets the Seventh Consecration."
?!?!
"A Consecration?"
This man was actually one of the elder-level figures of the Consecration Hall?
The Consecrations of the Consecration Hall didn't appear easily.
Even members of Spirit Hall might not get the chance to meet them.
Only then did everyone come to their senses and hurriedly bow.
"Greetings, Seventh Consecration!"
Demon Subduing Douluo waved his hand.
"Alright, no need for formalities."
After finishing their greetings, everyone seemed somewhat at a loss.
Yan especially.
He had spoken to Ye Han without any courtesy just moments ago.
Now that he realized Ye Han might have been brought here by the Seventh Consecration, he was terrified.
Lin Feng said,
"Seventh Consecration, Ye Han has the same Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul as you. You must have sent him to the team."
"That's right. This kid is my god-grandson. I didn't show myself earlier because I wanted you to witness his strength. You've all seen it now. He truly has the ability; he didn't get here through connections."
"Ye Han is too strong. With him joining us, we're even more confident of winning the tournament championship."
"Alright. Just as this kid said, a dark horse will indeed emerge in this Soul Master Tournament. Get serious and train properly."
After speaking, Demon Subduing Douluo chuckled and patted Ye Han's shoulder.
"Kid, those two moves you used just now were pretty good. Come with me. Let's go somewhere else and talk."
Before his words had even faded, Demon Subduing Douluo had already taken Ye Han into the air. In the blink of an eye, they vanished from everyone's sight.
