Chapter 110: Giving Everyone a Big Surprise!
[Qian Renxue tightens her clothes and looks away.]
[If she were in her original appearance, she wouldn't find your behavior strange.]
[But right now, she looks like Xue Qinghe, a man!!]
[What kind of thing did Bibi Dong take in as a disciple…?]
[Qian Renxue complains inwardly.]
Wang Li: "..."
[Seeing Qian Renxue avert her gaze, you turn to look toward the Shrek Academy resting area.]
[Xiao Wu is gone.]
[Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing have mysteriously disappeared and are no longer with Shrek Academy.]
[Their current lineup feels unfamiliar to you, and you don't understand what happened…]
[You feel several gazes occasionally falling on you. Looking over, you discover Shui Bing'er and the others watching you.]
[You're puzzled but don't think much of it; perhaps you're just too handsome.]
[Ever since Xiao Wu disappeared, Tang San has lost his smile and looks extremely cold.]
[When he steps onto the stage, you're slightly surprised—Tang San has reached the Soul King realm!]
[When you see him release the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, you suddenly understand.]
[Purple, purple, black, black, black.]
[After losing his opportunities, Tang San actually "cheats" by using his second martial soul to absorb soul rings and break through quickly.]
[You hadn't expected that…]
[If the body can withstand the impact of soul power, this method isn't really a problem.]
[At worst, later progress will be slower, and the years of soul rings lower, but he'll still be far stronger than ordinary soul masters!]
[With something like a divine trial opportunity, even late-stage problems wouldn't matter—soul ring years can always be improved…]
[Hu Liena's fox-like eyes flash with surprise, but she shakes her head.]
[A genius like Tang San might not even meet the threshold to face you.]
[After all, you're someone who can slap a twenty-thousand-year soul beast to death in your normal state!]
[Besides, Hu Liena isn't the type to fall for someone else. She's very similar to Bibi Dong. Once she loves someone, she commits completely.]
["He's still an opponent…"]
[Xie Yue, unaware of your current relationship with Hu Liena, mutters with a serious expression.]
[This year, he absolutely cannot lose!]
[The rewards this time were soul bones specially chosen for him, Yan, and Hu Liena. Losing would be disastrous!]
[Yan nods with an equally solemn expression. A Soul King with twin martial souls is not easy to deal with.]
[Tang San also possesses four ten-thousand-year soul rings…]
[One from Blue Silver Grass, three from the Clear Sky Hammer.]
[You say nothing. Showing off in such a small setting would be meaningless.]
[You plan to give everyone a surprise.]
[You're preparing to show off in a big way!]
Wang Li: "..."
That's just his nature, impossible to change.
"When I had no strength, I endured quietly. Now that I have strength, I will strike hard!"
"Being able to hide my strength for so many years is already my limit."
[In the second round, as a substitute member, you don't get a chance to fight.]
[When Hu Liena reveals her strength, everyone in the spirit arena is stunned!]
[Even the Golden Generation looks confused.]
[Don't they know Hu Liena's strength?]
[Qian Renxue looks at Hu Liena with surprise and confusion.]
[Is Hu Liena's talent really that terrifying?]
[Several elders from the Douluo Hall are also alerted.]
[They find it hard to believe…]
[After all, Qian Renxue herself is only a Soul Emperor; her soul power level is actually lower than Hu Liena's!]
[And Hu Liena is more than three years younger than Qian Renxue!]
[Tang San and the others stand frozen, while the other contestants stare in shock…]
[You feel a faint sense of unease, sensing that something seems wrong.]
[After Hu Liena shows off like this, will there still be a chance for you to show off?]
[She is a rank sixty-eight Soul Emperor, an opponent a group of Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors can't even defeat alone, let alone the entire Golden Generation!]
[The opponent concedes. No one laughs at them; the matchup itself is terrifying.]
[In the resting area, under everyone's gaze, Hu Liena throws herself into your arms, declaring her stance.]
[Xie Yue and Yan want to ask something, but ultimately hold back.]
[When you return to the dormitory, Xie Yue and Yan finally come to visit… They want to see Hu Liena, not you, but Hu Liena is in your room.]
[Hu Liena looks at you, unsure whether to tell them the truth.]
[You smile and take out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid from your Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, handing them to Yan and Xie Yue, respectively.]
[The moment you and Hu Liena confirmed your relationship, Xie Yue became your brother-in-law.]
[Although he once supported Hu Liena being with Yan, he never interfered with your relationship—he didn't even try to persuade her.]
[This brother-in-law is a good person.]
[As for Yan, he's simply a bit simple-minded. Still a good person—at least he's never found a reason to challenge you to a duel.]
[Even when furious, he restrained himself.]
[After learning the effects of the immortal herbs, Xie Yue and Yan immediately kneel.]
[Yan even cries. He had always treated you coldly, glaring at you repeatedly.]
[He slaps himself twice, then stares at you and warns you to treat his goddess well…]
You: …
[Xie Yue and Yan sit cross-legged in front of you and Hu Liena, beginning to absorb the immortal herbs.]
[Several hours later, they awaken.]
[Xie Yue rises from rank fifty-three to rank fifty-nine. His martial soul shows little change.]
[Yan rises from rank fifty-one to rank fifty-seven. His martial soul also remains mostly unchanged, though his fire element becomes hotter.]
[His martial soul is flame lord, possessing both earth and fire attributes—a powerful martial soul without obvious flaws.]
[After personally experiencing the effects of the immortal herbs, Xie Yue and Yan feel even more grateful to you.]
[Yan's gaze toward you becomes extremely complicated—you're both his romantic rival and his benefactor…]
[Hu Liena is also happy. Seeing Yan finally move on, she feels relieved.]
[She always treated Yan like a brother and never had romantic feelings for him.]
[But Yan was like stubborn glue…]
[The three of them grew up together. If she spoke harshly, she might hurt him. If she spoke gently, he wouldn't understand.]
[Hu Liena truly had no solution.]
[Unexpectedly, your generosity easily resolved the situation.]
[You aren't generous; you simply don't care. Yan poses no threat at all. Without Yan's presence, which occasionally brought amusement over the years in Spirit City, life might have been dull.]
[You rather enjoy the look of someone wanting to defeat you but being unable to act…]
