"That's it? What kind of Soul Skill did he just use?"
"I didn't even get a clear look at his Soul Ring, how did he win? Is this some kind of ghost in broad daylight?"
"He only moved his fingers the whole time. As for that blue transparent space, it should be his Martial Soul. But why didn't his Soul Power fluctuate when he used his Soul Skill?"
The spectators below the stage began discussing Jun Yi's fight. As for Jun Yi's opponent, like the two unlucky guys from the morning, he lost the match without even doing anything.
As for Jun Yi, he had already left the arena under the astonished gazes of everyone, preparing to return to his dormitory to cultivate.
After all, for Jun Yi at this point, the fastest way to improve his strength is to cultivate his Soul Power. Once he reaches level 35, he can go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to pick some immortal Immortal Herb, consume them, and then Awakening his second Devil Fruit.
"Junior Brother, where are you going?"
Just as Jun Yi was about to return to his dormitory, a gentle call reached Jun Yi ears. Jun Yi turned around and saw Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.
"What a coincidence, Senior Nana. I was just about to go back to my dorm to train. After all, the competition is over, and now that I've secured my advancement, there's no need to waste any more time here," Jun Yi explained with a smile.
After hearing Jun Yi's explanation, Hu Liena smiled faintly and said, "Junior Jun, you really work hard. Even at your age, I couldn't work this hard."
"Senior Nana, you're joking. What can I do for you?"
Jun Yi asked curiously, not believing that Hu Liena had specifically called him over just to be polite.
"There are indeed some things I need to do. Are you available now?" Hu Liena asked with a smile.
"Senior Nana is looking for me. I'm available anytime, even in the evening. But what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"
"I saw your performance in the ring today, defeating your opponent in just a few seconds, so my friend wanted to have a real match with you."
After saying that, Hu Liena pointed to Yan behind her and continued, "Yan, you've met him before. He wants to talk to you, but I don't know if you're free."
Jun Yi looked at Hu Liena and noticed that her expression was obviously a little unnatural. Clearly, the sparring was not her idea. But the only person who could make Hu Liena make this request was probably the peerless female Pope, Bibi Dong, in the Papal Palace.
"It's possible that my performance was a bit too outstanding, attracting Bibi Dong's attention, or it's also possible that she's been having people monitor me all along. Either way, she's undoubtedly the mastermind behind today's events."
After pondering for a moment, Jun Yi looked at Yan and asked, "Senior Nana, I wonder how strong this red-haired senior is?"
"You're the one with red hair!" Upon hearing this nickname, Yan was instantly furious, glaring fiercely at Jun Yi.
Hu Liena then introduced Jun Yi, saying, "His current Soul Power Level is 47, Soul Ancestor, but his Martial Soul is very strong. It's one of the top ancient Martial Soul, a dual-attribute fire and earth martial Martial Soul, the Flame Lord. Even against ordinary Soul King, he has the power to fight."
"No wonder Mao is red; it turns out it's related to his Martial Soul."
Jun Yi naturally knew about Yan's background, but he couldn't stand Yan's arrogant and haughty attitude, so he deliberately teased him a few times.
"You!"
Yan was furious. He was hoping Jun Yi would accept the challenge so he could teach this brat who didn't know his place a lesson.
"Junior, would you like to talk to him?" Hu Liena asked.
"Compared to this redhead, I'd much rather have a deeper conversation with Senior Nana," Jun Yi said in a somewhat unserious manner.
"You brat, are you looking for death?"
Upon seeing Jun Yi speak so rudely and flirt with Hu Liena in front of everyone, Yan instantly Wrath and was about to attack Jun Yi.
Before Yan could make a move, Jun Yi's Observation Haki sensed a dangerous aura coming from behind him. Jun Yi immediately applied Armament Haki to his right hand, covering it in black to resist the dangerous aura.
"Bite--"
With a crisp clang, Hu Liena snapped out of her daze and realized that her brother, Xie Yue, was now facing off against Jun Yi's right arm, holding a Moon Blade.
"Kid, you've got some tough skin," Xie Yue said coldly.
"Your knife is quite sharp," Jun Yi said politely.
"Brother, have you forgotten why we came here? It's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble," Hu Liena said, turning to her brother.
After hearing Hu Liena's advice, Xie Yue sheathed his Moon Blade and coldly said to Jun Yi, "If you ever dare to speak recklessly in public again, I will cut off your tongue."
Jun Yi wasn't angry at Xie Yue's threat; he simply smiled and replied, "Then you'll have to put in some effort. My tongue is quite hard."
"Junior Brother, my brother was in the wrong about this. Please don't take it to heart."
Although Jun Yi started this whole thing, Hu Liena still chose to apologize to Jun Yi. This made Jun Yi even more convinced of his judgment that Bibi Dong must have given the order, otherwise Hu Liena wouldn't have been so cautious.
"Since Bibi Dong wants to see how strong I am, then I'll show you a little something."
Jun Yi smiled and looked at Hu Liena, saying, "Senior, I agree to this Soul Fighting."
"Then come with us. There aren't enough spots available at the training ground right now, so I'll take you somewhere else to practice."
Hearing that Jun Yi had agreed to the sparring match, Hu Liena visibly breathed a sigh of relief. She, Yan, and Xie Yue led Jun Yi to a wide open space on the back mountain of the academy.
"This place is also where we practice our skills. No one else comes here on ordinary days. You can show off your abilities here without anyone else knowing," Hu Liena explained to Jun Yi.
"In that case, let's not waste any more time and get started," Jun Yi said slowly.
"Alright, I'd like to see if your actual skills are even half as good as your talk."
Yan summoned his Martial Soul, Fire Flame Lord. A huge red figure appeared behind him, more like a demon crawling out of hell, with ram's horns, a symbol of evil, as if it wanted to devour everything without restraint.
"So this is the Flame Lord. Its aura is indeed impressive. If I remember correctly, the strongest point of this Martial Soul is its integrated offense and defense, with its attack power and defense being roughly equal. I wonder how many of my moves it can withstand."
"Yan, Martial Soul: Flame Lord, Level 47 Power Attack System Soul Master. I will not bully the weak; I will suppress my strength to the level of yours for a friendly spar."
Yan looked at Jun Yi with disdain, his arrogant and condescending attitude Pride...
