Guang Yu seemed to have sensed who he would be facing next.
So he sat down cross-legged and waited.
Hu Liena was merely an appetizer, a warm-up before testing his own strength. Xie Yue and Yan, on the other hand, were barely enough to make him take the fight seriously.
"Is... is he not leaving?"
Seeing Guang Yu beat Hu Liena into such a state, yet still sit there as though nothing had happened.
A few kind-hearted disciples nearby stepped forward to warn him. "Hey, Guang Yu, you... you just beat Hu Liena up so badly. Xie Yue and Yan will definitely come looking for trouble. They both have level 18 Soul Power."
"Hurry and leave. Once they get here, you'll be in trouble."
Guang Yu said calmly, "I'm waiting for them."
"You're not planning to fight Xie Yue and Yan too, are you? They may only have level 18 Soul Power, but they're stronger than many Soul Grand Masters!"
"You're no match for them. Listen to us and leave!"
"Thank you all for the warning, but just watch from the side." Guang Yu had no intention of leaving.
How could he not know how strong Xie Yue and Yan were?
As members of Spirit Hall's future Golden Generation, the three of them were naturally geniuses among their peers, capable of challenging opponents above their level.
On top of that, they were two years older than Guang Yu and had cultivated for two years longer.
Whether it was the strength of their Soul Power, their combat experience, techniques, or abilities in every other aspect, they were outstanding.
They would not be weak. It was perfectly normal for them to defeat a Soul Grandmaster above their level.
But that was precisely why Guang Yu sat here waiting for them.
If they were merely ordinary one-ring opponents, then honestly, he had no desire to fight anymore.
"Sigh, this guy is far too full of himself. Does he really think he can beat Xie Yue and Yan? Are all geniuses this arrogant?"
"Heh, forget it. He'll suffer soon enough."
The core disciples stopped trying to persuade him. They shook their heads and left.
"Waaah! Brother! Yan!"
At that moment, Hu Liena ran to Xie Yue and Yan, crying loudly.
"Y-you're Nana?"
Hu Liena's face had been beaten so badly that they nearly failed to recognize her. Xie Yue and Yan froze for a moment before rushing forward. "Nana! Who was it? Who beat you into this state?!"
Hu Liena's face was filled with resentment. "Guang Yu! It was him! Waaah, you have to help me vent my anger!"
Xie Yue and Yan flew into a rage upon hearing that. Their fury soared to the heavens. "Guang Yu! How dare you! You actually beat Nana into this state! You're courting death!!"
"Nana, don't worry. We'll definitely teach him a lesson!"
"Yan! Let's go!"
The two of them headed toward the training ground with Hu Liena, brimming with murderous anger.
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere.
Inside the great hall.
"Bad news! Bad news, Your Holiness the Pope!" A Soul Master hurried before Bibi Dong and dropped to one knee.
Bibi Dong sat lazily in the papal throne with her legs crossed. "What has you in such a panic?"
"It's Miss Hu Liena. Miss Hu Liena, she..."
Bibi Dong smiled. "What, did Nana hit too hard and cripple that boy Guang Yu?"
"No... Miss Hu Liena was completely no match for Guang Yu. She... she was beaten badly by that boy..."
"Guang Yu didn't even use his Martial Soul!"
"What did you say?!"
Bibi Dong immediately sat upright.
"How could this be? Nana was not only no match for him, but was beaten without the slightest ability to fight back?" Bibi Dong's smile vanished, and her expression turned incomparably ugly. "He defeated my personal disciple without even using his Martial Soul! There's something wrong with that boy!"
"Miss Hu Liena should have gone to find Xie Yue and Yan by now. They will fight Guang Yu."
"Let's take a look." Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened, and she vanished from the great hall.
At that moment, Xie Yue and Yan had already arrived at the training ground in a fury.
Bibi Dong had also arrived earlier and was watching Guang Yu from the shadows.
"They're here! Xie Yue and Yan really came! Guang Yu is finished now!"
"We told him to leave, but he refused. If Xie Yue and Yan beat him crippled later, he'll have brought it upon himself." The core disciples shook their heads helplessly.
No one believed that Guang Yu, who had only Awakened Martial Soul and cultivated for less than a month, could be a match for Xie Yue and Yan, who had cultivated for more than two years.
"So they're here."
Guang Yu slowly opened his eyes and stood up.
Yan's face was full of fury. "Guang Yu! You death-seeking bastard! How dare you beat Nana into this state? Today, I, Yan, will beat the shit out of you!"
Xie Yue's expression was equally cold. "Don't think we won't hit you hard just because you're Worship Elder Guang Ling's grandnephew. You beat Nana into this state, so you'll pay a terrible price!"
"Guang Yu, we definitely won't let you off today."
"Yan, step back. Nana is my little sister. As her brother, I have to teach him a lesson myself."
Yan showed no intention of backing down. "Nana and I grew up together. Let me do it!"
"It's over! It's over! Yan and Xie Yue are completely enraged! Guang Yu is going to suffer today."
The core disciples nearby could already imagine Guang Yu's miserable state once he was beaten up.
"Stop arguing over it. Come at me together." Guang Yu lazily rolled his neck.
The moment those words came out, every core disciple present was stunned!
"What?!"
"D-did I hear that right? He wants to fight Xie Yue and Yan by himself?"
"He's courting death! Does he think that just because he's a Twin Martial Souls genius with Innate Full Soul Power, he can look down on everyone else?"
"He's a genius, but Yan and Xie Yue are also the top geniuses of our Spirit Hall!"
"He's far too arrogant! I heard his Martial Soul Backfire was so severe that he might not live much longer, and I even pitied him a little. Who would have thought he was such an overconfident, ignorant fool who didn't know his own limits!"
The core disciples were filled with disdain for Guang Yu.
Yan and Xie Yue were even more speechless, bursting into laughter. "Hahahahaha! You really are courting death, Guang Yu! We cultivated for two years longer than you and have already reached level 18 Soul Power! Do you understand?"
"You want to fight both of us alone? What a joke. Do you think you're the only genius? Either Xie Yue or I could beat you senseless on our own! And you want to take on both of us? Absolutely laughable!"
Xie Yue and Yan mocked him arrogantly, their eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Then wicked smiles appeared on both their faces.
Guang Yu was, after all, the grandnephew of a Worship Elder. If one of them fought him alone and gave him a harsh beating, that would be one thing.
But if the two of them ganged up on him, the nature of it would be different.
That was why they had initially wanted only one person to make a move. But now that Guang Yu himself had said he wanted to fight two against one, they would not hold back.
Xie Yue sneered. "Fine! Since you're seeking death, we'll grant your wish!"
"Yan! Let's attack together!"
"Moon Blade!"
"Martial Soul Possession, Flame Lord!"
The two released their Martial Souls at the same time, a yellow soul ring appearing beneath each of their feet.
Xie Yue gripped his crescent Moon Blade, a top-tier Weapon Martial Soul.
Behind Yan, a massive flaming stone giant emerged, a top-tier Beast Martial Soul.
If I can't even defeat opponents like you, how can I make the Worship Elders acknowledge me and bring Qian Renxue home?
At that moment, the Light God Sword Martial Soul of Ultimate Light finally appeared before everyone for the first time, carrying incomparably terrifying Light Energy.
