Chapter 96: Ordinary Friends, Yan: What? You're also level 26?!
To settle things once and for all, Hu Liena pursed her lips and chuckled, "Yan, if you can defeat me, then it's not impossible for me to give you a chance. But, if you lose, please call me Hu Liena from now on. We can be ordinary friends, but that kind of relationship is not happening!"
Here, what Hu Liena meant by "ordinary friends" was literal; she had no intention of leading him on.
Yan's talent was very high. Like her, he possessed Innate level Nine soul power, and his Martial Soul, Flame Lord, had dual fire and earth attributes, which was very rare.
However, these reasons did not mean Hu Liena had to like him.
When liking someone, the first impression, or "eye-pleasing" quality, was very important, followed by the chemical reactions that occurred between them during their interactions.
Of course, if one had to give a ratio, the former accounted for probably seventy to eighty percent or more in Hu Liena's heart—a complete appearance fanatic!
Unfortunately, while Yan's looks were good, they weren't to her aesthetic taste.
Moreover, having such a handsome twin brother, Hu Liena felt she probably wouldn't find a partner in the future.
She hadn't paid much attention to it before, but under Yan's pursuit, she began to think about this point.
Sometimes, having such a handsome brother by one's side also had its drawbacks.
That was, it infinitely raised her standards for a partner. She felt that unless someone even more handsome than Hu Bai appeared, she probably wouldn't be interested.
If he wasn't more handsome than Hu Bai, what was there to talk about?
It was better to look at her own brother, who was more pleasing to the eye.
"Alright, alright! Na Na, you said it! If I win against you, you'll agree to be my girlfriend!" Yan was very excited. Was he finally going to succeed?
Xie Yue looked at Yan's excited expression, shaking his head helplessly and sighing inwardly. Na Na wanted to settle this once and for all.
With Yan's strength, if he weren't facing a Soul Master of the mental system like Na Na, even if the opponent was a Soul Elder, he would have a fighting chance. In fact, due to his higher soul ring configuration, he might even win!
But Yan's Martial Soul was Flame Lord, and his mental resistance wasn't high.
Let alone Yan, even he himself would probably be in trouble facing Na Na's mental control now.
Although the two had not sparred, Xie Yue understood the terrifying nature of a mental system Martial Soul in his heart. Unless it encountered a natural counter, it was truly very strong!
This kind of strength, even when reaching a Titled Douluo, held a significant advantage.
After all, in high-level battles, even if you were only controlled for one second, it was a disaster!
Didn't they see that their family's Xie Tian was completely submissive to Hu Leyao?
Before Hu Bai was born, Xie Tian's cultivation was higher than Hu Leyao's, but if they were to truly fight, Xie Tian would not be Hu Leyao's opponent. Moreover, in their Martial Soul Fusion skill, Charming Fox, Hu Leyao was the primary controller.
And the controllers of Xie Yue's trio's Nine-Tailed Charm Demon were Hu Bai, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue.
Of course, Xie Yue had no thoughts about this. He only knew that he was the elder brother, and even if his younger siblings were stronger than him, so what?
If danger truly arose, he would still stand in front of them.
Teacher Zhou saw that everyone in the class was full of enthusiasm and smiled, nodding, "Alright then, follow me to the soul fighting Arena now."
To be honest, even he was very curious about the current strength of Hu Bai's trio. After all, they had just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Supreme Pontiff had also issued combat targets. How could he not be curious?
If a Soul Master in the Special Class faced an ordinary Soul Master with a ten-level soul power difference, they should still be able to win. But Hu Bai's trio was facing their own Special Class!
How much confidence must one have to do this?!
Soul Fighting Arena.
Hu Liena was the first to leap onto the Soul Fighting Arena, looking at Yan, without many words: "Come on."
Teacher Zhou's golden-yellow wings spread behind him, and he flew into mid-air, stating calmly, "Before the battle begins, first state your Martial Soul and soul power level. Also, one more thing, do not kill!"
Hu Bai looked at Teacher Zhou's wings and found them somewhat familiar: "Big Brother, this Teacher Zhou's Martial Soul, it couldn't be…"
Xie Yue smiled: "Little brother, you figured it out? That's right, this Teacher Zhou comes from a branch of the Qian family. His Martial Soul is the Twin-Winged Angel, and he comes from Spirit Hall's Angel Legion. Initially, he wasn't a teacher at the academy. It's said he was specially transferred from the Legion, because the effects of whale rubber must be kept strictly confidential, and the Angel Legion is absolutely loyal to the Qian family."
As for why Teacher Zhou's surname was Zhou and not Qian, Hu Bai didn't care much.
After all, in their family, one followed the father's surname and one followed the mother's. And the Qian family's branch probably didn't have excessive demands on surnames, since they weren't the main family anyway.
Hu Bai hadn't expected that Teacher Zhou would have such a background.
A Soul Douluo's strength meant his status in the Angel Legion was definitely not low; he must at least be a vice-commander, right?
Excluding Qian Daoliu, there were no Titled Douluo powerhouses in the Angel Legion.
"Little brother, who do you think will win, Na Na or Yan?" Xie Yue smiled.
Hu Bai: "Big Brother, don't you already have the answer in your heart? Na Na's gains from this trip can be said to be even greater than yours. If Na Na used mental control on you, do you think you have the confidence to break free?"
Xie Yue gave a wry smile: "No."
But then, Xie Yue added, "If it's a confrontation, I really don't have confidence, but she is my younger sister after all. I'm quite familiar with her control methods. With my spatial skills, I can approach her at an extremely fast speed, and then…"
Xie Yue was actually very clear about his current positioning.
He was still an attack system Soul Master, but he was an attack system with somewhat fast speed.
His spatial skill granted him the power to quickly approach opponents. This ability didn't enhance his own speed but rather reduced spatial distance, which couldn't classify him as an agility-attack system.
At the Soul Fighting Arena.
Yan looked at Hu Liena and smiled, as two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, slowly rose around him: "Martial Soul, Flame Lord, level 26 attack system Soul Grandmaster."
Yan's second soul ring had also reached the thousand-year level due to consuming whale rubber, but his thousand-year mark was just barely over a thousand years.
This was already very good. Some in the Special Class were much older than Xie Yue and Yan. Before the body-enhancing effects of whale rubber were known, they already had three or even four soul rings, yet they were still selected into the Special Class.
Hu Liena released her Martial Soul, Three-Tailed Fox. Her entire being seemed to become a bit more beautiful, as if surrounded by pink bubbles, appearing very charming: "Martial Soul, Three-Tailed Fox, level 26 control system Soul Grandmaster. Please advise."
"What? You're also level 26?!" Yan stared at Hu Liena, dumbfounded. How was this possible!
