Hu Liena started and hurriedly stepped in front of Chen Feng, snapping, "Yan, what are you trying to do? He really is His Highness the Holy Son. You intend to attack His Highness?"
Seeing Hu Liena actually defend that stray man, Yan grew even more furious.
"Fine, fine, fine! Since he's His Highness the Holy Son, his strength must far surpass that of his peers."
Fire all but shot from his eyes. "Then all the more reason to test whether this so-called Holy Son is qualified."
"Insolence! Show His Highness some respect!"
Hu Liena shouted angrily, and four Soul Rings-two yellow and two purple-also appeared beneath her feet.
Just as the two stood with swords drawn and bows bent, Chen Feng walked behind Hu Liena, slipped a hand around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
Hu Liena froze for a moment. She was just about to struggle when Chen Feng's voice sounded beside her ear.
"If you want him to give up completely, don't move."
His hot breath brushed her ear, tickling it.
Hu Liena stopped struggling.
Yan's pestering had irritated her to no end over the years. If she could really use His Highness as a shield to make Yan give up completely, nothing could be better.
Yan's eyes nearly split with rage. He had known Hu Liena for years and pursued her for just as long, yet he did not even have the right to stand beside her.
This bastard who had appeared from who knew where had actually pulled her into his arms and brought his mouth close to her ear, looking extraordinarily intimate.
How could he stand it? He immediately roared, "Bastard, let her go!"
Holding Hu Liena, Chen Feng leaned toward her fair neck and took a deep breath, filling his nose with her delicate fragrance.
Hu Liena blushed and turned her head away, suspicion stirring within her. His Highness isn't taking advantage of this to get fresh with me, is he?
"Bastard! If you've got the guts, stop hiding behind a woman and come fight me! If you lose, stay away from Nana!" Yan roared hysterically.
Chen Feng said mildly, "Little Fox is already mine. Why should I make a wager with you?"
Hu Liena lightly elbowed Chen Feng in protest.
Since when did I become yours?
Suddenly, her body stiffened, and her pretty face grew even redder. A soft sound escaped her lips as she slumped completely into Chen Feng's arms.
Her black robe was secured with a belt, and the little pink camisole beneath it left her navel exposed.
Just now, the hand Chen Feng had around her waist had shifted slightly, and two of his fingers had touched her navel.
Whether deliberately or accidentally, he had actually poked her belly button.
Her black robe, meanwhile, had become a natural screen, perfectly concealing all of Chen Feng's little movements.
Hu Liena suddenly felt that agreeing to use His Highness as a shield seemed a very foolish decision. This was nothing short of inviting a wolf into her home.
"You!"
Yan's eyes were bloodshot. This bastard had actually called her Little Fox.
She had not shown the slightest displeasure; on the contrary, she seemed to enjoy the nickname.
Yet he was not even allowed to call her Nana.
Chen Feng traced circles around Hu Liena's belly button with his finger and said casually, "Besides, you're a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, challenging a One-Ring Soul Master like me. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself if word gets out?"
"A One-Ring Soul Master?"
Yan froze, then sneered. "A mere One-Ring Soul Master dares impersonate the Spirit Hall Saint Son? Hu Liena, you'd rather be with someone like him than give me a chance?"
Hu Liena gripped Chen Feng's hand to stop it from wandering and said through secretly gritted teeth, "That's right. Stop pestering me from now on. I'm afraid His Highness will be displeased."
Yan clenched his fists, his expression utterly grim. Staring fixedly at Chen Feng, he said coldly, "Since you're a One-Ring Soul Master, I'll only use my first Soul Skill. Do you dare fight me?"
"Sure!"
Chen Feng nodded, his expression calm.
A peculiar look appeared in Hu Liena's eyes. If Yan fought with all his strength, his chances of winning would be excellent.
But if he used only his first Soul Skill, the situation would be completely reversed.
"Come on!"
A trace of excitement appeared in Yan's eyes. He could finally beat this bastard senseless.
A proper Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, even using only his first Soul Skill, was not someone a One-Ring Soul Master could withstand.
"Little Fox, be good and wait for me."
Chen Feng finally released Hu Liena, then held his fingers beneath his nose and sniffed. A faint fragrance still lingered on them.
Hu Liena turned her head away, her pretty face scarlet. His Highness is such a bastard. He actually took advantage of this to get fresh with me.
Both took their positions, and Yan released his Flame Lord Martial Soul. Four Soul Rings-two yellow and two purple-appeared beneath his feet.
"Kid, my Flame Lord is a top-tier Martial Soul with both fire and earth attributes. Now, release your Martial Soul."
Yan wore a haughty expression.
As a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation who was on the verge of breaking through to Soul King, he did indeed have reason to be proud.
Chen Feng smiled faintly and released his Family Tree Martial Soul, unleashing a powerful pressure.
Yan's expression shifted slightly. This pressure was actually stronger than his Flame Lord's.
But once he saw Chen Feng's Martial Soul clearly, he could not help throwing his head back and laughing. "A tree-type Martial Soul? Kid, I suggest you surrender right now. My Martial Soul completely counters your tree-type Martial Soul. You have no chance of winning."
"Is that so?"
Chen Feng neither agreed nor disagreed, the faint smile remaining on his face as a red Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet.
"A h-hundred thousand year Soul Ring?"
Yan's eyes widened and his mouth fell open, his face blank with shock.
How could a first Soul Ring reach a hundred thousand years?
Even many Titled Douluos did not have a hundred thousand year ninth Soul Ring.
Yan felt a little dizzy. Breathing became difficult, and he could barely catch his breath.
This was madness. A hundred thousand year first Soul Ring was something he had never heard of or seen.
Still, even a hundred thousand year first Soul Ring could not bridge the gap between their ranks.
Yan's gaze turned cold. He circulated his Soul Power and abruptly charged.
Clenching his fist, he smashed it straight at Chen Feng, scarlet flames enveloping it.
A Four-Ring Soul Ancestor had the enhancements of four Soul Rings. Whether in physical strength or total Soul Power, a One-Ring Soul Master could not compare.
Even with the enhancement of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, his opponent could never bridge that gap.
The corners of Chen Feng's mouth lifted slightly. Without dodging at all, he charged straight ahead and threw a punch of his own.
Gray Soul Power enveloped his fist, giving off no fluctuations of any attribute.
Their fists collided with a dull thud, and Yan staggered back four or five steps.
Chen Feng, however, retreated only one step.
"How is that possible?"
Yan's face was filled with horror.
After seeing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, he had put aside his contempt. He had held nothing back in that punch.
Yet, against his expectations, he had still come off worse.
"I don't believe it!"
Yan roared and charged again.
His attacks were broad and sweeping, every punch and kick carrying scarlet flame Soul Power.
Chen Feng remained utterly unafraid, countering every move with overwhelmingly forceful attacks.
After barely a dozen exchanges, Chen Feng sent Yan flying with a punch.
Watching from the side, Hu Liena's little mouth fell open, her eyes filled with shock.
She had considered that His Highness might win, but through the overwhelming superiority of his Soul Skills.
After all, the quality and power of Soul Skills produced by a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring far surpassed those of a Hundred-Year Soul Ring.
She had never expected His Highness to completely overpower Yan in both strength and speed in close combat.
Was the enhancement from a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring really so terrifying?
Little did she know that, besides the enhancement from his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Chen Feng also had the enhancement from a branch of the Family Tree.
The first branch came from the Super Douluo Bibi Dong, and the enhancement it granted him was incredibly terrifying.
