Ye Lingling's invitation

The referee was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting and raising his hand to announce, "Lin Qingchen wins!"

There was a moment of silence in the stands, then it erupted into chaos.

"This... how is this possible? That's Yu Tianheng!"

Unlike the previously unknown Lin Qingchen, Yu Tianheng was already a top celebrity in the academy. Not only was he highly talented and handsome, but his family background was also impeccable. He could be considered the standard prince charming in many people's minds.

In their view, even if Yu Tianheng couldn't win the championship this time, he would definitely be able to get a good ranking. However, he was defeated in the second round.

However, someone nearby immediately retorted, "Look, that person's Second Soul Ring is purple. It's not impossible for him to defeat Yu Tianheng now, is it?"

"That's true, that's the second ring in a thousand years..."

In an era where the first ring might be white and the fifth ring might be purple, the sheer awe of Second Soul Ring after a thousand years was still overwhelming for these people.

Meanwhile, under Ye Lingling's treatment, Yu Tianheng, whose injuries were not very serious because Lin Qingchen had held back, recovered rapidly.

Lin Qingchen withdrew his Martial Soul and walked over to bump fists with Yu Tianheng, who had just gotten up.

"So, are you convinced now?"

"Ah, what a pity, I couldn't get you to use your Third Soul Skill." Yu Tianheng said in a low voice, with a hint of regret.

"Hehe, using the Third Soul Skill would be a desperate sparring style, but we're just having a friendly match." Lin Qingchen shook his head.

Trading injury for injury is a desperate tactic, no matter where you are.

"Holy crap, boss! You..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was met with a cold look from Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng patted Yu Feng on the shoulder. "You go up and fight him, you'll lose even faster than me. Why don't you give it a try?"

Lin Qingchen also clenched his fist in agreement.

Yu Feng shrank back, glanced at Lin Qingchen, and remained silent.

"Hmm? So you want to fight me?"

"No, no, no, boss, I was just kidding, I'm leaving now..."

Yu Feng was almost in tears. "Why are you taking your anger out on me just because you can't beat Lin Qingchen?"

Did I break a taboo?

Although he felt incredibly wronged, he didn't hesitate for a second and ran back to find his nemesis.

(Yu Feng: Osler is still the best...)

On the other side, Dugu Bo, who was eager to see his granddaughter, had long since ignored everyone else and pulled Dugu Yan to a small corner of the stands to watch the game quietly.

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue and said to Dugu Yan, who was clinging to his arm, "Tsk tsk tsk, your little boyfriend is quite clever in fighting. He can control many elements at the same time, which requires a lot of combat experience."

"Grandpa! What little boyfriend!" Dugu Yan blushed, quickly stomped her foot, and stubbornly retorted.

"Okay, okay, he's not my little boyfriend." Dugu Bo smiled. "Then why are you blushing?"

Dugu Yan fell silent.

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Dugu Bo said solemnly, "Just hearing you say that he was a genius, I already thought so. Now that I've met him in person, I'm even more convinced that his future achievements will be extraordinary. He's barely worthy of my granddaughter, Dugu Bo."

"Grandpa, didn't we say we weren't going to talk about this?" Dugu Yan pinched the soft flesh on Dugu Bo's waist.

Dugu Bo winced in pain, quickly patted his granddaughter's hand, and stopped talking.

On the other side, Lin Qingchen sat down in the waiting area and had just taken a couple of sips of water when Ye Lingling carefully sat down next to him.

As she raised her hand, a beam of white light entered Lin Qingchen's chest.

Lin Qingchen was taken aback, then shook his head. "Actually, you don't need to treat me. Yu Tianheng's attack didn't cause me any harm, and even if it did, I can Healing myself quickly."

Ye Lingling shook her head and said softly, "It's okay, I've already withdrawn from the competition anyway, and it's boring to stay here."

"Thank you very much."

"Hmm... actually, you can just call me Lingling." Ye Lingling bit her lip and said softly.

"Ah..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingchen chuckled and said, "Alright then, Lingling."

It's just a name, nothing serious.

However, in the Douluo Continent...

He glanced at Ye Lingling's condition.

To be honest, I don't dislike him.

After all, he's a time traveler, and he's not a eunuch, so how could he not like pretty girls?

Of course, the prerequisite is that it's beautiful.

If it were something like Chao Tianxiang tree, he could only say "get lost."

Ye Lingling's pretty face flushed slightly, but she still continued, "My mother would like to invite you to dinner to thank you for saving me. Do you have time tomorrow?"

"Have a meal?"

"Yes, it's at my house." Ye Lingling nodded.

"Thank you very much, Auntie." Lin Qingchen nodded and accepted Ye Lingling's invitation.

Just as Ye Lingling was about to say something more, a tall boy walked over from the other end of the waiting area, interrupting their conversation.

The newcomer was carrying a staff that reached his eyebrows; the staff was bluish-green in color, clearly a weapon made of high-quality materials.

Within the Soul Master community, those who wield weapons are extremely rare.

After all, for Soul Master with Tool Martial Soul, ordinary weapons are no match for their own Martial Soul, while Soul Master with Beast Martial Soul often regard their own bodies as their strongest weapons, and therefore disdain using weapons.

Therefore, Lin Qingchen was still somewhat curious about the person carrying the short stick.

"Lin Qingchen?" The man stopped in front of him. "My name is Liu Qingfeng, Heaven Dou Grade cultivator. We've been drawn together in the next round."

Liu Qingfeng? Oh, it was him.

Lin Qingchen glanced at him, and the name suddenly came to mind—the one Qin Ming had specifically called out that morning.

The reason he was given this special name wasn't because of his talent, but because of his age.

That's right. Actually, the Heaven Dou Grade isn't just limited to Soul Elder; there are also Soul Ancestor members, but they are generally older.

How big is it?

So big that they won't be able to participate in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.

However, in contrast, the opponent's strength is also quite high, reaching level 43, making him a genuine Soul Ancestor.

At the same time, Liu Qingfeng was the strongest among this group of old men.

This is why no one dared to be certain that Yu Tianheng would win the championship.

After all, even a genius is still at a disadvantage when facing a group of veterans who have been developing for so many years. Being young is ultimately a disadvantage.

What was unexpected was that before these old men could even make a move, Yu Tianheng was defeated by Lin Qingchen, who was even younger than him.

"I watched your match against Yu Tianheng." Liu Qingfeng slammed his stick on the ground. "I thought Yu Tianheng was already the most talented person in the academy, but I didn't expect there to be someone even stronger."

Lin Qingchen's expression remained unchanged as he casually asked, "So you came all this way just to say this?"

"I mean, you're no match for me, so I advise you to admit defeat."

Lin Qingchen:???

"Ha, admit defeat? I see you're nothing special. You're only level 40 at this age, all you can do is bully people because of your age."

"You!"

Liu Qingfeng blushed, his sore spot being hit, and angrily said, "Fine, fine, then don't blame the competition for being merciless."

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
