Xie Yue knew exactly what her friend was thinking.
However, if this matter isn't resolved, and it reaches His Holiness the Pope's ears, Yan will face consequences at the Spirit Hall...
Yan suddenly raised his head, his rugged face flushed red with extreme shame and anger, and a ferocious glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
However, the undisguised disappointment and scrutiny on Hu Liena's face, and Xie Yue's icy gaze that left no room for negotiation, were like a heavy millstone, crushing his impending ferocity inch by inch.
"sorry!"
He roared with all his might, each word like a tear from a hot iron, spewing forth unquenchable anger and humiliation.
The sound echoed dully in the immense gravitational field.
Lin Xia raised an eyebrow slightly, and her eyes, which had been as calm as a still pool, finally moved.
He tilted his head slightly, and the faint curve of his lips became clearer. It did not soften in the slightest because of Yan's roar, but instead appeared even more mocking and distant.
"Been taught a lesson."
He spoke, his voice unusually cold.
The three words, like three icy needles, precisely struck the dignity that Yan had just roared about.
Yue Guan watched the whole thing from here, and he never expected that Lin Xia would have this side to her!
However, Yue Guan didn't think Lin Xia had done anything wrong. If someone maliciously targeted him and he didn't fight back, he would lack any manly spirit, and how could he become a strongman and protect the region?
As for Yan?
Yue Guan said it was none of his business.
I'm not his teacher.
All he had to do was report everything that had happened here to His Holiness the Pope.
"Alright, you've all passed this training, but I still have to say, Lin Xia is only six years old, has level sixteen soul power, and went back and forth three times!"
"And you, you are generally six or seven years older than Lin Xia, and your soul power has reached twenty-eight or twenty-nine, and you only made one round trip!"
"Don't tell me Lin Xia is in your way. Even if he hadn't made a move, you would never have been able to make a second round trip. I believe you all understand that!"
"Go back and train properly. Don't waste your time on crooked practices. Disperse!"
Upon hearing Yue Guan's words, Yan's face, which had just recovered a little, turned deathly pale again.
Although Yue Guan did not name names, everyone present knew who he was referring to.
"Xia, let's go. You should go and learn about Soul Masters and Soul Beasts!"
Yue Guan's blatant protectiveness made Xie Yue and Hu Liena somewhat envious.
But they also know that these things can't be rushed.
Perhaps only by passing all the tests can one gain favor or special treatment!
After Lin Xia and Yue Guan left, Xie Yue and Hu Liena looked at Yan.
The two looked at each other but didn't say anything more.
They simply sighed and left, supporting each other.
.....
"You mean Lena and the other two aren't as good as Lin Xia, and Lin Xia even completed three gravity suppression training sessions?"
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, a hint of consideration flashing in her eyes.
After a long while, Bibi Dong continued speaking:
"In that case, Lin Xia will train with Lena and the others from now on, and Yan's training resources will be reduced by one level!"
"Yes, sir!"
"You may leave!"
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yue Guan immediately left the palace!
Shortly after Yue Guan left, a figure also appeared in the palace.
"Your Holiness, the information you requested has arrived!"
Bibi Dong nodded, and as the shadow gradually became clearer, she said directly:
"Thank you for your hard work, Elder Ghost!"
Ghost didn't say much, but silently stepped forward and handed over the file in his hand.
After receiving the file, Bibi Dong carefully examined it.
"Lin Xia was born in Holy Soul Village. Her father died when she was four and her mother died when she was five."
"His father, Lin Zhen, possessed the spirit Blue Silver Grass and innate level one spirit power. Through perseverance and luck, he became a spirit master. However, while breaking through to become a Great Spirit Master and obtaining his second spirit ring, he was unfortunately severely injured by a spirit beast. Shortly after returning, he succumbed to his injuries and died!"
"His mother, Yun Yue, possessed the martial soul Blue Silver Grass but had no soul power. She died of illness a year after her husband's death."
"When Lin Xia was six years old, he awakened his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, and possessed innate full soul power. There was also a child in his village named Tang San, whose martial soul was also Blue Silver Grass and who possessed innate full soul power!"
Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she had thought of something.
Bibi Dong then went through Lin Xia's information and remained silent for a long time.
"In the same year, Lin Xia and Tang San joined Notting Junior Soul Master Academy and became disciples of Yu Xiaogang. Later, due to differences in their ideals, they left Notting Junior Soul Master Academy and went to Heaven Dou City to join the Spirit Hall."
After reading it, Bibi Dong murmured to herself.
What a small world!
It would be a lie to say that he had absolutely no feelings for Lin Xia.
But if there are many, then there aren't.
After hesitating for a moment, Bibi Dong decided to pretend she hadn't seen it.
After all, in the face of absolute power, everything else is in vain!
Moreover, Bibi Dong even had another idea, which was to compete with Yu Xiaogang.
Let's see who is stronger, the one trained by Yu Xiaogang or the one trained by myself!
Lin Xia and Tang San both happen to have Blue Silver Grass martial souls and both have innate full soul power!
Thinking about this, Bibi Dong even felt a little excited without realizing it.
.......
Five years later, in the secret training chamber of Wuhun City.
The heavy alloy door slid open slowly, and a condensed, almost tangible, life force emanated from it.
Under the cold light of the moonstone, a tall figure slowly walked out.
He looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, but his figure was like that of steel that had been tempered countless times, calm yet full of explosive power.
His hair, once a vibrant black, had turned a deep blue, and the childishness in his eyes had faded considerably, replaced by a profound tranquility.
It was Lin Xia.
Lin Xia moved her wrists, making a slight grinding sound from her knuckles, as if they contained the power of a volcano.
The solid black iron floor beneath his feet groaned softly as he took a casual step.
"Pure physical strength at the Soul King level... Little guy, you've truly taken the path of 'Life Body Tempering' to new heights in the past five years."
Yue Guan's voice, filled with undisguised amazement, came from the shadows of the porch.
He leaned against the stone wall, his eerie appearance appearing even more striking in the dim light.
"How do you feel? The bottleneck at level 30 should be completely stable now, right? Don't blindly pursue higher soul power levels. You must compress and consolidate each realm properly, or you'll regret it in the future!"
Lin Xia nodded, her voice steady:
"Yes, the foundation is solid, the soul power is at level 30 and perfect, and the third soul ring can be added at any time."
"Moreover, I've been stuck at level 30 for quite a while. I can't go any further at this level; I feel like I'm about to burst!"
Lin Xia's voice was calm, but a glint of eager anticipation flickered deep in her eyes.
"The improvement in physical strength is indeed unexpected. The realm of 'skin and bones resisting weight' that Elder Yueguan once spoke of seems to be far from the end."
Lin Xia clenched her fist gently, and the air seemed to burst in her palm, emitting a brief whimper.
