Dongfang Yu had nearly exhausted his soul power, and his entire aura had plummeted. Yan, on the other hand, was merely breathing heavily and was in far better condition than he was. That was the gap in strength.
Yan looked at Dongfang Yu and suddenly smiled. "I have to admit, you're quite impressive. But... can you still take another move from me?"
Gritting his teeth, Dongfang Yu said seriously, "I can try."
Yan simply stared at him, seemingly wanting to see hesitation in the boy's eyes. But the result disappointed him.
"I have no objections to you joining the Golden Generation." With that, Yan stepped down from the arena and rejoined Hu Liena and the others.
Suppressing the feeling of collapse, Dongfang Yu walked over to Bibi Dong. His face was somewhat pale, yet he still said respectfully, "Teacher."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "You did it. Very good."
"Then Nana, Xie Yue, do you two still have any objections?"
The two shook their heads at the same time. If they had indeed had objections at first, they had now vanished completely. Dongfang Yu had made them see him in a new light.
"Very well. Xiaoyu, go back and rest for now. As for the rest... for the time being, train together with your senior sister and the others."
"This disciple understands." After bidding farewell, Dongfang Yu left the academy directly. What he did not know was that several people were watching his departing figure without blinking.
Only after he vanished from sight did Bibi Dong withdraw her gaze. This boy truly was a gift from heaven. Both his character and temperament pleased her greatly.
"Teacher, then we'll return to the academy first as well." After saying so, Hu Liena and the other two took their leave.
Bibi Dong was left alone where she stood. She did not leave immediately, but gently closed her eyes and allowed the wind to blow over her, quietly savoring the moment.
Only after a while did she slowly open her eyes and leave the place.
After returning to his residence, Dongfang Yu fell asleep as soon as he lay down. He did not wake until evening. Shaking his head, he said, "That Yan really is formidable."
Having just joined the Golden Generation, Dongfang Yu still felt some pressure. However, he did not dwell on it too much. After all, he was several years younger than the three of them, and his cultivation would catch up sooner or later.
Knock, knock, knock! At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Dongfang Yu got up and opened it. It was his senior sister, Hu Liena.
"Senior Sister."
Hu Liena smiled gracefully. "Junior Brother, how was your rest?"
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I'm fine now." Although he did not know why Hu Liena had changed her attitude toward him, Dongfang Yu still answered properly.
"Aren't you going to invite your senior sister inside to sit for a while?" Hu Liena asked with a light laugh.
"Please come in, Senior Sister."
After the two sat down, Hu Liena kept staring at Dongfang Yu. This junior brother really was handsome, but... why had he acted so frivolously that day?
Dongfang Yu was equally baffled. What does this girl want? Why does she keep staring at me?
"Cough, cough... Senior Sister."
"Oh, it's nothing." Hu Liena calmly withdrew her gaze and smiled softly.
"Junior Brother, you'll begin training with us tomorrow. Is there anything you'd like to say?"
"I hope Senior Sister will be accommodating," Dongfang Yu said.
"The Golden Generation consists of me, Yan, and my brother Xie Yue. You don't need to worry about my brother, but Yan... he may often seek you out for sparring in the future, so be careful." Remembering her teacher's words, Hu Liena decided to give him a reminder.
Dongfang Yu nodded slightly. "I understand. Thank you for telling me, Senior Sister."
"We are both Teacher's disciples. There's no need to be so formal."
"By the way... Junior Brother, may I ask how old you are this year?" Hu Liena asked curiously.
Dongfang Yu did not hide it and answered, "Six."
"What! Six... How is that possible?" Disbelief filled Hu Liena's eyes, and she could not help crying out.
Being looked at like some kind of monster made Dongfang Yu feel a little embarrassed. "Is there something wrong with that...?"
"Of course there is!" Hu Liena said anxiously. How could anyone be over level twenty at six years old? Not even Innate Full Soul Power could make that possible!
"Junior Brother, you aren't lying to me, are you?" Hu Liena was deeply skeptical.
"Of course I would not lie to Senior Sister." Dongfang Yu smiled faintly.
"Then you... no, that's impossible." Hu Liena still did not believe him. It was simply too absurd; she had never even heard of such a thing.
"If Senior Sister still doesn't believe me, you can ask Teacher." Dongfang Yu understood that no matter what he said, she would not believe him. It was better to leave it to Bibi Dong. You'll believe Teacher when she says it, right?
Seeing Dongfang Yu's serious expression and realizing he did not seem to be joking, Hu Liena froze. Could... could everything he had said be true? But... it seemed she really would have to ask her teacher, because this completely overturned her worldview!
Watching Hu Liena leave in a hurry, Dongfang Yu laughed at her decisive personality. "This little fox is pretty interesting."
In truth, Dongfang Yu now understood why she did not believe him. Her horizons only extended so far. Although she was the Pope's disciple and the Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, her knowledge was limited. In her understanding, Innate Full Soul Power was the highest possible talent.
Papal Hall.
Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena skeptically and asked, "Nana, what have you come here for?"
Seeing that no one else was present, Hu Liena told her about Dongfang Yu. Finally, she asked, "Teacher, Junior Brother was... bragging, wasn't he?"
Though her tone was questioning, Hu Liena did not sound very confident, because her teacher had not interrupted her at all and had listened with an enigmatic smile.
"He did not lie to you." Bibi Dong walked over to Hu Liena, stroked her head, then took her hand.
"Actually, Innate Full Soul Power is not the only kind. There is also something called Innate Super Soul Power."
Hu Liena said blankly, "Innate Super Soul Power..."
"That's right. Innate Full Soul Power is currently the highest level a soul master can attain after awakening their martial soul, which is level ten. As for Innate Super Soul Power, as the name implies, it is soul power that surpasses the highest level of a normal awakening," Bibi Dong explained.
"Ah..." Hu Liena's little face fell. It seemed her knowledge truly was lacking. Who knew how much her junior brother would laugh at her now?
"Those with Innate Super Soul Power are inevitably one-in-ten-thousand geniuses with limitless futures. Nana, do you understand now why I wanted you to interact with him more?" Bibi Dong asked with a smile.
"I understand. Thank you, Teacher, for telling me this," Hu Liena replied.
"Alright, you may leave now. Remember, do not tell anyone about this."
"Yes, Teacher." Hu Liena understood that this was meant to keep her junior brother's secret, so that those with ill intentions would not set their sights on him.
