Faced with the younger students around them starting to egg them on, Li Ye and Tang San exchanged a glance and both smiled helplessly.
Still, these people were practically forcing him to show off. If he refused to demonstrate anything now, he would be rather a spoilsport.
Besides, the first thing Li Ye wanted to do upon his return was establish his Night Emperor Pavilion.
And these Shrek students before him, who were so enthralled by him and admired him so deeply, would become the Night Emperor Pavilion's first disciples.
So, to put their minds at ease about joining and give them confidence in the Night Emperor Pavilion and a sense of belonging afterward, he, as its master, naturally had to display some convincing strength.
"Since everyone wants to see my strength, I'll offer this humble display. But before that, move farther away, all of you, so you don't get hurt!"
Hearing Li Ye's words, the spectators ran excitedly into the distance like children who had just been given candy, then turned around and stared intently at him.
The moment everyone had moved back, Li Ye crossed his hands, struck an exceedingly overdramatic pose, and released his primary martial soul, the Demonic Flame Spear!
As the fire dragon wrapped around its shaft dispersed, a dark-gold spear blazing with fierce flames hovered before Li Ye. Floating around him as well was his astonishing, heaven-defying soul ring configuration!
Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red! Six black and two red!
Was this a soul ring configuration a human could achieve?
And hadn't Li Ye only just broken through to become a Five-Ring Soul King two years ago? How had he become an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo now?
After witnessing Li Ye's strength and soul ring configuration, everyone present felt nothing but shock.
