Those words immediately caused a stir.
"This…"
The Shui family members all stared at Luo Yu in disbelief, not expecting him, who usually seemed idle, to make such a bold statement.
"Doesn't this guy know that Miss Binger can't even beat Huo Wu, who's slightly weaker?"
"Taking on both of them? He must have snapped from the pressure."
Someone with a discerning eye gestured for silence, having seen the skill in Luo Yu's clash with Huo Wushuang earlier.
Huo Wu looked at the young man, who was about her age, and chided in a delicate voice, "You arrogant fool, do you even know what you're saying? Challenging both my brother and me? Which of the Five Elemental Academies would dare to do that?"
Luo Yu glanced at Huo Wushuang, who was enveloped in orange flames and had three spirit rings – yellow, yellow, and purple – swirling beneath him. He then pursed his lips and waved his hand dismissively.
"Not interesting. Forget it, you can leave."
"What do you mean?" Huo Wu was indignant; she saw the look of disdain in his eyes.
Luo Yu yawned and said, "It means nothing. It's just that there are too many people here right now. It's inconvenient."
"Heh, afraid of losing face now? Too late." Huo Wushuang immediately activated his martial soul, his body swelling, and a single horn wreathed in flames appeared on his brow.
Luo Yu said sympathetically, "I'm just thinking, you siblings are so arrogant and concerned with face. If you get publicly humiliated later and are devastated by it, it would be my fault."
"Holy shit!" The onlookers were stunned. They hadn't expected Luo Yu to be so blunt. Normally, he was silent and timid, but when faced with an external threat, he unleashed verbal attacks with a heavy punch?
Although there were no vulgar words or harsh intentions, each sentence felt like a knife stabbing into the hearts of the Huo siblings.
"You want my siblings to team up?" Huo Wushuang's feet shattered the bricks beneath him. He launched himself towards Luo Yu like a small meteor, carrying the imposing aura of the Blazing Dragon.
"You... "
"Are you worthy?"
A fist engulfed in flames hurtled towards Luo Yu's chest, showing no restraint.
The timid had already closed their eyes. Shui Yue'er and Shui Binger were a half-beat too slow; it was already too late to intervene.
BOOM!
Luo Yu didn't dodge or evade, instead, he raised his hand and directly grasped the incoming fist.
The scorching, violent flames surged towards Luo Yu's body. Huo Wushuang's expression was one of utter disbelief. His opponent had actually ignored his flames and was completely unharmed.
"How could you ignore my flames?!"
"Do I need to?" Luo Yu's indifferent eyes stared directly into Huo Wushuang's.
The next second, Huo Wushuang was thrown out with a heavy thud, skidding across the ground for a long distance before stopping.
"You!" Huo Wushuang pointed at Luo Yu, unable to speak.
Just now, Huo Wushuang seemed to have witnessed true arrogance in those dark, deep black eyes. It was a restrained, concealed power that, once triggered, moved with the speed of lightning, an invincible aura.
Without the experience of countless battles, sweeping away all the talented individuals, one would never have such eyes. He had only witnessed a similar feeling once, on Feng Xiaotian, the number one person in the Five Elemental Academies.
"Wu'er, you and your brother, go together!" Huo Xiao said solemnly. He was very calm. To easily throw his son, who had activated his martial soul, without activating his own? What kind of strength was this?
Shui Yue'er opened her small mouth in surprise, "Sister, how can Yu-gege be so strong?"
Shui Binger was also stunned. The ordinary man she thought wasn't good enough for her sister had just sent Huo Wushuang flying so easily?
Huo Wushuang's first spirit ring lit up, and Huo Wu's second spirit ring responded in kind.
"Scorching Fire Starburst!" "Fiery Sun Exploding Fist!"
The brother and sister clearly had excellent coordination, attacking simultaneously. The exploding starburst fireballs and the erupting, scorching, ghostly blue fists came from both sides, a pincer attack that was fast, fierce, and accurate, perfectly executed.
Huo Xiao nodded in satisfaction, giving Shui Dongsheng a provocative look. You old schemer, hiding a young master in my presence and putting on a show. But aren't you still going to be defeated by my two children working together?
Over on Shui Dongsheng's side, he was shocked, staring at Luo Yu. Did I really misjudge him before? Does this guy have a martial soul?
Facing the ferocious attacks bearing down on him, Luo Yu clenched his left hand, then thought better of it and let it fall.
"What arrogance, kid! Facing the combined martial souls of the two of us, you still don't plan to defend? If we accidentally kill you, don't blame us!" Huo Wushuang said coldly.
Saying the harshest words only to get hit the hardest – this phrase was perfectly exemplified by Huo Wushuang.
Their flames were completely ineffective against Luo Yu, who had undergone the Ice-Fire Golden Body. If he wasn't worried about damaging his clothes, Luo Yu wouldn't even bother dodging.
Relying on his outstanding body tempering and years of experience in combat footwork, he effortlessly evaded the attacks from the blind spots like a nimble snake, and countered with the Shattering Monument, Dragon-Catching Hand.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Huo Wushuang was grabbed by the neck by Luo Yu and slammed onto the ground like a sack of rags, his soul light scattering, sending up a cloud of dust.
Meanwhile, Huo Wu was slapped on her perky butt by Luo Yu, the force causing her to lose her balance and topple to the side.
The entire fight wasn't a back-and-forth exchange; it was a brutal, destructive sweep, ending in an instant.
The expressions of everyone in the arena froze in an instant, a mix of shock and disbelief.
Soon, the entire arena erupted in an uproar, with discussions breaking out everywhere.
The servants who had once envied Luo Yu's good fortune now had complex expressions, with a new layer of respect and awe. The maids sighed; they used to have a chance to get a bite of Luo Yu, but now it seemed like they could only dream of it.
"How is this possible?" Huo Wushuang stared at his hands in disbelief, then looked at Luo Yu, who was younger than him.
The sudden blow was like falling from heaven to hell, making it hard for him to accept, especially being defeated so easily in front of everyone. All his sense of superiority vanished in an instant.
Luo Yu walked in front of Huo Wushuang and said calmly, "Satisfied? You can go home now, right?"
Huo Wushuang asked in terror, "What's your real strength?"
Luo Yu clenched his fist and said mockingly, "Are you referring to my ability to be a pretty boy? Or the strength I just used to beat you?"
"You!" Huo Wushuang's fingers trembled. His pride was gone, and he couldn't say a word.
Huo Wu said resentfully, "You look down on us so much? You didn't even release your martial soul?"
Luo Yu didn't explain, and secretly smiled wryly, "If I said I just awakened my martial soul, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to control its power and kill you all, would you believe me?"
Huo Xiao snorted with displeasure, "Head of the Shui family, shouldn't you give me an explanation? Didn't you say he didn't have a spirit? So, he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, making a fool of me and my son?"
Shui Dongsheng gave a wry smile, "I don't know what's going on either! This kid really hadn't awakened his spirit before."
"The victory or defeat of the younger generation is a trivial matter, but it's going too far to deceive me with lies." Huo Xiao's eyes grew more displeased; it seemed like things were about to fall apart.
"Head of the Huo family! Uncle Shui didn't lie to you. It's true that I just awakened my spirit yesterday!" Luo Yu's voice came.
Huo Xiao turned to look at Luo Yu, squinting his eyes, "The younger generation's talent is not bad. I'm afraid the Shui family has secretly cultivated him for many years."
"But don't talk nonsense. Even if he's a rare, peerless genius, it would still take three to five years of cultivation after awakening his spirit before he could be a match for my children."
Luo Yu shook his head, slowly raising his left hand. Under the influence of his soul power, a Heavenly Sun pattern appeared in his palm. The temperature of the world seemed to rise at that moment.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er, as well as everyone else in the arena focused their gazes on Luo Yu, curious about his spirit.
Huo Wu gritted her teeth, constantly guessing in her mind. There was no way this guy was below two rings. At the very least, he must be a high-level three-ringed Soul Master, or even a four-ringed Soul Ancestor???
In their utterly horrified gazes, a deafening explosion erupted with a "boom." A ring of stars appeared first.
Then, a phantom of the Heavenly Sun, carrying an imposing heavenly might and resembling a fire king, appeared behind Luo Yu. Golden light illuminated the Heavenly Sun, and golden flames rose from it, with what seemed like a coiling dragon within, and a low, resonant dragon's roar could be faintly heard.
The fire shadows and the single-horned Blazing Dragon martial souls that Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang had manifested seemed to feel immense pressure. Their flames instantly extinguished, and they dissipated back into their owners' bodies.
"This guy's martial soul is so high-level, what level is it exactly???" Everyone stared fixedly at Luo Yu.
What shocked them the most was that this vast martial soul didn't even have a single soul ring attached!!!
