This Attack Was Nothing but Sexy

As they drew closer...

Lin Ye recognized who these people were.

They were from Spirit Hall!

Leading them was Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

Without a word, these people picked up the Seven-Colored Elk from the ground and prepared to leave.

They even cast contemptuous glances at the Imperial Fighting Team as they did so.

This infuriated everyone.

[An unclaimed Soul Beast belonged to whoever hunted it!]

This had been the rule on the Douluo Continent since ancient times.

Yet there were always arrogant people who treated these rules like thin air.

"Put it down!"

Lin Ye's voice was not loud.

Yet its icy chill pierced the mental sea of every person from Spirit Hall.

"Are you talking to us?"

"Let me tell you!"

"We've had our eyes on this elk for a long time."

After saying this, Yan prepared to leave with the Rainbow Elk.

Those words were not an explanation.

They were a notification!

In other words, this eight-thousand-year-old Soul Beast now belonged to Spirit Hall.

However...

Lin Ye would never let them take the elk away.

A sharp ice spike formed in his palm and shot forward, forcing Yan to put down the Rainbow Elk.

"You get to take it just because you've had your eyes on it for a long time?"

"Well, I've had my eyes on Spirit Hall for a long time too. How about letting me be Pope for a few years?"

The moment Lin Ye said this...

The Imperial Fighting Team burst into laughter.

He wasn't wrong!

By that logic, looking at someone you liked a few extra times would give you mating rights.

Unable to refute Lin Ye's retort, Yan could only say coldly, "To think Heaven Dou Royal Academy has produced a tough nut to crack. What a surprise."

Spirit Hall Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy only ever met at the Elite Tournament held once every five years.

However...

Spirit Hall Academy had never treated Heaven Dou Royal Academy as worth a damn.

That was because Heaven Dou Royal Academy had never won, and their defeats were humiliating every time.

"Then let's settle this by Soul Master rules."

Yan decided to teach this fellow, who had appeared out of nowhere, a harsh lesson.

The next instant...

A scorching blast of air erupted outward from him.

The phantom of a mighty Flame Lord slowly formed behind him, while four Soul Rings appeared and circled beneath his feet.

They had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Soul Ring for their team's support member and conduct some practical combat training.

In that respect, their purpose was the same as the Imperial Fighting Team's.

"What's wrong?" Yan taunted. "Scared?"

This time, contempt appeared on the faces of the Imperial Fighting Team.

A mere Soul Ancestor dared to run his mouth?

This fellow had no idea what kind of monster Lin Ye was.

"Fine!"

"I'll oblige."

"But let's make this clear first..."

"Whoever wins takes that Rainbow Elk."

Yan naturally had no objections.

Soul Beast forests had always rewarded the victors and never offered consolation to the losers.

Just then...

Qin Ming stepped forward.

He had repeatedly stressed that he would not take part in this training expedition, yet he was breaking his word after barely half a day.

However...

He had no choice but to step in.

Because the people standing before them were from Spirit Hall.

He whispered to Lin Ye, "Go easy on them later. Don't stir up unnecessary trouble."

Well...

He had absolute faith in Lin Ye.

His only concern was that Spirit Hall might not be able to take a beating.

"Understood."

Lin Ye gave a sly smile.

Now all that remained was to see how he would handle Yan.

"How about three against three?"

Hu Liena offered a suggestion she believed would give them a greater advantage.

She had noticed something off about the Imperial Fighting Team's expressions.

Although she could not imagine any possibility of the Imperial Fighting Team winning, she made the suggestion to be safe.

"You can all come at me together."

The moment he said this...

The Imperial Fighting Team was stunned.

Dugu Yan had even been preparing to step forward and fight alongside Lin Ye.

Yet this fellow was saying he would fight three opponents alone?

The Spirit Hall Golden Generation looked even more incredulous.

Had this fellow lost his mind?

The teacher accompanying Spirit Hall also looked astonished.

Across the entire Douluo Continent...

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were the most badass among their peers.

This kid could not possibly beat them one-on-one, yet he wanted a gang bang?

The next moment...

Lin Ye gave them his answer.

His eyes abruptly turned icy blue, and cold air spread from beneath his feet, instantly covering the ground in patterns of frost.

"Rooar—"

A dragon phantom sculpted from profound ice burst into the air.

What truly made the people from Spirit Hall suck in a cold breath was the five Soul Rings beneath Lin Ye's feet.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black!

"A Soul King?!"

"A ten-thousand-year fourth ring!"

The double shock of the Soul Rings' number and colors made the pupils of everyone from Spirit Hall widen abruptly.

The teacher leading them finally understood why Lin Ye had been so confident earlier.

Whether in Martial Soul quality or strength...

The young man before them stood above the Golden Generation.

"This..."

"How is this possible?"

Hu Liena could hardly believe what was happening before her eyes.

In her world, she was the strongest among her peers, with no one able to surpass her.

That was also why she had been named Spirit Hall's Saintess.

However...

Lin Ye's Soul Rings had dealt her a crushing blow.

"Take him down first."

Xie Yue and Yan had been shaken as well.

But neither was a fool.

On paper, none of them individually could match Lin Ye's strength.

Their most pressing task now was to win this Soul Fighting match, followed by taking away the Rainbow Elk lying on the ground.

While the three of them were still stunned...

Lin Ye had already charged toward them with the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword in hand.

Cold light flowed along the blade, accompanied by faint dragon roars.

He had chosen to fight three opponents alone not merely to show off, but also to test his strength.

Moreover...

He had absolute confidence.

If his rank fifty-nine Soul Power could not handle the Golden Generation, then he had eaten those Immortal-Grade Herbs for nothing.

"Boom—"

The Golden Generation let out low, forceful cries.

Surging Soul Power erupted from all three of them at once.

Hu Liena's Demon Fox phantom swayed, Xie Yue's Moon Blades gleamed like frost, and Yan's Flame Lord rose with a roar.

Just then...

Lin Ye's sword arrived.

He slashed.

The sword light transformed into a furiously roaring Ice Dragon that surged forward.

Yan was the first to bear the brunt of it.

Cold light and a curtain of fire collided with a thunderous crash, ice and flame ringing out between heaven and earth.

The combined suppression of Ultimate Ice's bone-deep chill and the Ice Dragon King's tyrannical might instantly sent Yan flying over a hundred meters.

And that was with the protection of his second Soul Skill, Granite Rock.

Otherwise... he would have fared even worse!

"Second Soul Skill—Fox Allure."

Hu Liena seized the chance to counterattack.

The instant her gaze met Lin Ye's, pink light shone in her eyes.

"Charm?"

Lin Ye's eyes suddenly widened in a fierce glare.

A powerful mental shock instantly caused her attack to backlash.

The world spun before Hu Liena's eyes, and she staggered backward several steps before steadying herself.

Hu Liena primarily relied on mental charm, but this method of attack could not harm Lin Ye at all when his mental power was far stronger.

In Lin Ye's eyes...

Hu Liena's attack had only one effect.

It was sexy!

Just as Hu Liena suffered the mental backlash, Xie Yue's sharp Moon Blades swept toward him.
