Three-Day Agreement?

"Yan, what did you mean by that? I accompanied my junior brother to the Library Pavilion. Is there a problem with that?"

"Junior brother?"

Yan sneered, his gaze fixed firmly on Gu Changsheng.

At that moment, Gu Changsheng looked at Yan once more. The Myriad Heaven Book floating before him continued to turn gently.

[Target: Yan

Martial Soul: Flame Lord

Emotional state: Jealousy, hostility!

Soul Power level: Higher than host.

Danger level: Moderate.]

Gu Changsheng was extremely familiar with the plot of Douluo Continent. Naturally, he knew why Yan was acting this way.

After all, on the original path, Yan had always liked Hu Liena. Now that he and Hu Liena had emerged from the Library Pavilion together after narrowly escaping death, Yan was bound to feel jealous.

Hu Liena's expression darkened slightly.

"This isn't the first time. Since our teacher personally acknowledged him, he is naturally my junior brother. Or do you not trust our teacher?"

"Besides, my junior brother saved me from danger in the Spiritual Mist. So what if he took some treasures from the Library Pavilion?"

At the words "saved me from danger," Yan's expression became even uglier.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, as though a raging blaze were burning in his chest.

"Saved you from danger? Nana, aren't you overestimating him? He only just obtained his First Spirit Ring. If you hadn't protected him, could he have come back alive?"

The moment Yan finished speaking, Hu Liena's gaze turned icy.

Xie Yue, who stood nearby, said nothing. He merely lifted his eyes slightly.

His personality was the complete opposite of Yan's. Yan spoke whatever came to mind when his temper flared, but Xie Yue saw things more clearly.

For Gu Changsheng to return from the Maze Ancient Forest and force Yan Xiu into the dungeon before the instructor and two elders was definitely not something that could be explained by luck alone.

But he had no intention of stopping this. He wanted to see just how capable this youth, whom Nana protected and the Pontifex favored, truly was.

Gu Changsheng glanced around, looked up at Yan, and suddenly smiled faintly.

"Senior Brother Yan has a point. I am indeed merely a Spirit Master who has just obtained his First Spirit Ring."

Seeing Gu Changsheng seemingly back down, contempt appeared in Yan's eyes.

"It's good that you know."

But in the next moment, Gu Changsheng changed his tone again.

"However, whether I could return alive isn't something decided by words alone. At the very least, I came back!"

As those words fell, Yan's expression stiffened abruptly.

The fury surrounding him grew even stronger.

"Gu Changsheng, what exactly do you mean? Do you think you have the right to provoke me?"

Facing Yan's question, Gu Changsheng answered calmly.

"I have no intention of provoking you. I simply think that if Senior Brother is unconvinced, then after my injuries heal, you can give me some pointers."

Yan narrowed his eyes, a domineering smile curling his lips.

"You want to fight me?"

Hu Liena turned to look at Gu Changsheng, disbelief in her eyes as well.

"Junior Brother, your injuries haven't healed yet. Besides, he has long since become a Great Spirit Master. The gap between you is too great. You can't!"

Gu Changsheng looked softly at Hu Liena, his voice equally gentle.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I never said we would fight now."

Then, he looked at Yan again.

"Three days from now, at the Training Ground! If Senior Brother Yan is interested, I can give you some pointers."

Yan looked as though he had heard some ridiculous joke. This kid even wanted to give him pointers? He could no longer hold back, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Three days? You truly don't know your place. Without Nana helping you, what do you think you are? Fine, I'll give you three days!"

"Yan, why are you joining in this nonsense? Don't go too far. Bullying the weak with your strength won't look good!"

Hu Liena's expression became even more unsightly. She knew both of their strengths well, and her worry made her speak without restraint.

"Nana, does this count as bullying the weak? He was the one who challenged me. Besides, I just want him to see whether he is qualified to stand by your side!"

"Hmph, whether he is qualified isn't for you to decide. My affairs are none of your business!"

Hu Liena's tone was stern, and her expression grew more furious.

"Enough. This ends here."

Xie Yue stepped forward and looked at Gu Changsheng with a somewhat indifferent expression.

"Since three days have been agreed upon, then it will be three days. But Gu Changsheng, I advise you to think this through. Yan's words may have been harsh, but he is not weak. If you are only doing this out of spite, there is no need."

Gu Changsheng's answer shocked him even more.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xie Yue. I'm not doing this out of spite. I simply want to resolve some trouble I cannot avoid."

Listening to their exchange, Yan could barely suppress the fire in his heart. He snorted coldly, turned, and left.

"Three days from now, at the Training Ground, I'll let you know what true strength is!"

"What exactly are you thinking? With only three days, how confident are you that you can defeat Yan?"

Watching the two figures walk away, Hu Liena immediately turned to Gu Changsheng and asked.

"Thirty percent..."

"You only have a thirty percent chance, yet you dared challenge Yan? You..."

"It's thirty percent now, but three days from now, it may not remain thirty percent..."

As he said this, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of Gu Changsheng's mouth.

Hu Liena looked at him and suddenly did not know what to say. After spending this time with him, she had already come to understand him deeply. Whenever he wore that expression, it meant Gu Changsheng had begun plotting!

"Now that the agreement has been made, hurry and treat your injuries. For these three days, tell me whatever you need, and I'll find it for you."

Concern filled Hu Liena's voice. As she spoke, she forced a smile onto her face.

At that moment, Gu Changsheng actually felt a long-lost warmth.

Under the setting sun, their shadows stretched long, and what had happened before the Library Pavilion soon reached the depths of the Pope Palace.

"You mean that three days from now, Gu Changsheng will challenge Yan?"

Bibi Dong sat upon her pontifical throne and suddenly opened her eyes. A trace of solemnity appeared on her breathtakingly beautiful face.

"Yes! Young Master Changsheng said he wanted to give Young Master Yan some pointers."

Bibi Dong smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"So arrogant? A fifteenth-level Spirit Master against a Great Spirit Master. I want to see what method you intend to use to win."

After returning to his residence, Gu Changsheng did not rest immediately. He closed the door and took out the Concentration Mind Manual.

The Myriad Heaven Book slowly appeared in his palm, while the bright yellow First Spirit Ring pulsed gently.

"Flame Lord, Power Assault System..."

Seeing this, he seemed to have already considered the traits of a fire-element Martial Soul. His own First Soul Skill, Myriad Burning, could replicate Yan's flames.

"When the time comes, he won't be able to hit me, while I can hit him...

Right, there's also the Training Ground. I remember there are some metal pillars there, as well as protective Soul Power formations..."

"So what I need is information on fire-element Martial Souls, as well as a Formation Pattern Diagram of the Training Ground!"
