Flender: Kid, You Are Too Weak!

Reason told Flender that a young man with such strength at this age must have a formidable power backing him.

But thinking about it carefully, he only wanted to bring this little monster back to his academy to cultivate; it was entirely for the little monster's own good, not to harm him!

Even if the little monster's elders came knocking later, upon learning his true intentions, they might not only refrain from blaming him but might even thank him properly!

That was right, that was exactly the logic!

He didn't have any bad intentions, so what was there to be afraid of?

Just do it!

Once the raw rice was cooked into porridge, everything would be fine!

After making the decision in his heart, Flender immediately revealed a smile he considered kind:

"Little friend, the reason you don't want to be friends with me right now is because you don't understand me yet. Once you understand my character and how I conduct myself, you might even be begging to be friends with me then."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Flender with deep vigilance.

He had a bad premonition.

Could this shameless old thing be planning to make a move on a junior like him?

"I said, I have no intention of being friends with you, and even less interest in getting to know you! Stop pestering me, or you will definitely regret it!"

Jiang Xuan was telling the truth, but Flender didn't care at all.

Because from the perspective of a powerhouse, threats from the weak were as soft and powerless as telling a joke.

For some people with peculiar habits, hearing threats from the weak even strengthened their desire to bully.

"Hehe, the words you're saying now are truly quite irrational, but no matter, I don't mind, and I'm even prepared to invite you to be a guest at my home."

As he finished speaking, Flender's smile remained unchanged, but he simultaneously released his soul power pressure. If Jiang Xuan were just an ordinary soul master, the pressure Flender released at this moment would have been enough to keep him from saying even half a word.

However, Jiang Xuan's physical body had already been tempered by the Six-Ding Divine Flame. While this level of pressure caused him significant trouble, it could not completely restrict his movements:

"You shameless old thing! Since soft tactics don't work, you want to use force! Do you know what this behavior is? This is kidnapping a minor! You're a human trafficker! According to the laws of the Heaven Dou Empire, you should be executed in public to serve as a warning to others!"

Seeing that Jiang Xuan could still speak, the joy in Flender's eyes grew even more intense.

Even the soul power pressure of a level 50 soul master couldn't completely suppress this kid; it seemed he had really struck gold this time!

"Look, little friend, you've started talking nonsense irrationally. Kidnapping a minor? I'm just inviting you to be a guest at my home. Although the method of invitation might be a bit rude, it's not a big problem. Just bear with it, little friend, I'll be quick..."

Flender's current behavior was undoubtedly like an old man hanging himself—seeking his own death.

But Chen Xin still hadn't come out of the room. Jiang Xuan thought about it carefully and felt she must want to see his limit for resisting pressure.

After all, it was Chen Xin who had personally taken him to the Star Dou Forest to obtain his second soul ring just a few days ago, and yet, in the blink of an eye, he suddenly had the strength to barely challenge a Soul Saint...

Anyone encountering such a situation would inevitably feel curious, and Jiang Xuan could completely understand that.

It was just that, how was he supposed to explain it later?

Forget it, deal with the aftermath later; let's solve the trouble at hand first...

When dealing with Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai earlier, although Jiang Xuan appeared relaxed and at ease, maintaining the operation of the Innate Eight Trigrams Formation for the entire duration had actually consumed a full quarter of the soul power in his body.

This soul skill was useful, but the consumption was simply too great. He had already decided not to use this skill again unless it was an emergency, but since Chen Xin wanted to see his limit, he would satisfy her wish!

Coincidentally, he also wanted to see where his own limit lay.

With a thought, his ten-thousand-year soul ring appeared and his third soul skill activated. Under the reinforcement of the Innate Eight Trigrams Formation, the pressure Jiang Xuan was bearing was instantly reduced by more than half. Although a small portion remained, it no longer affected his normal movements.

And Flender was almost drooling with greed at this moment.

There were even more surprises on this kid!

The hope of "getting rich" was right before his eyes, and Flender became completely serious. However, before he could continue applying pressure, Jiang Xuan had already taken the initiative to activate the "Zhen Trigram," launching an attack on him with the Innate Divine Thunder.

Seeing that the weakling not only showed no fear but dared to take the initiative to attack him, Flender was not angry; instead, his heart was filled with admiration:

"Good kid! You've got guts! In that case, let me properly experience your skills!"

While confidently saying these words, Flender casually created a defensive barrier formed purely of soul power.

In his view, no matter how powerful a three-ring soul master's attack was, it couldn't shake the defense of a Soul Saint like him. Being able to put on a defensive posture was already giving the kid enough face.

However, just as the soul power barrier in his hand was about to be completed, a bolt of lightning, moving so fast he couldn't dodge it, instantly struck his wrist. A strong sense of numbness and the sound of thunder followed, directly disrupting the flow of soul power in his body.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Xuan flashed out, relying on the Innate Eight Trigrams Formation to teleport to Flender's side. Before his feet touched the ground, he raised his leg, and after charging for two seconds, he kicked fiercely toward Flender's waist.

However, just as he was about to land the hit, Flender grinned and raised his other arm, which hadn't been struck by the lightning, perfectly blocking Jiang Xuan's whip kick.

"Kid, your strength is good, and your reaction is fast. You really amazed me, but it's a pity that you're still far from being able to deal with me!"

After the failed attack, Jiang Xuan retreated quickly, his eyes filled with gravity.

He was certain that his bolt of lightning had definitely paralyzed Flender's entire body, but he hadn't expected his physical sensation to recover so quickly!

As expected, it was a matter of the gap in soul power between the two.

The gap between level 40 soul power and a Soul Saint was still a bit too large.

What should he do now?

He only had sixty percent of his soul power left, and the Innate Divine Thunder clearly couldn't cause effective damage to Flender.

Should he switch to fire attacks?

But what if even fire attacks couldn't do anything to the opponent...

Just as Jiang Xuan was hesitating, a clear sound of footsteps suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

Jiang Xuan and Flender, who were in a standoff, both looked toward the sound, only to see the newcomer was a young man with luxurious clothing and an extraordinary temperament.
