At this moment, Ye Yu returned, naturally knowing what had happened.
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned upon hearing, and glanced at Ye Yu, discovering he was also eleven or twelve years old.
Being called a turtle, Ye Zhiqiu laughed angrily: "Hahaha, this is too funny. You mean, you want to fight me alone?"
Ye Yu nodded: "Yes, old turtle."
Ye Zhiqiu's face turned extremely angry. His martial soul was the Profound Turtle, and there were always people who called him a turtle, which was a taboo in his heart. Now, being called a turtle by a teenager made him even angrier.
"Good, since that's the case, I'm quite willing to teach you a good lesson for daring to call me that!" Ye Zhiqiu's eyes flashed with cold light.
Ning Rongrong's hands blossomed with seven-colored light, the Seven-Colored Glaze Tower emerged, exuding nobility.
Ning Rongrong asked, "Brother Yu, do you need my support?"
Although knowing Ye Yu was very powerful, the opponent was after all a level fifty-three Soul King.
Ye Yu shook his head: "No need, I can handle it myself."
When Ning Rongrong released her martial soul, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but step back, his voice trembling.
"This... this is... the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower?!"
Ye Zhiqiu was extremely apprehensive, the coldness on his face vanished, replaced by panic.
He hadn't expected this girl to be from the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect.
The Seven Treasure Glaze Sect, along with the Vast Heaven Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, were the Upper Three Sects on Douluo Continent. Not only him, but the entire Canghui Academy couldn't afford to provoke them.
Ye Zhiqiu hadn't expected this girl to have such a big background, originally thinking that this unheard Shrek Academy had nothing backing it, and the students inside surely had no background, but hadn't anticipated one with such a big background.
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu frightened, seemingly unwilling to fight, Ning Rongrong said, "Don't worry, I won't use my background against you. But if you don't fight, I might let my Grandpa Jian battle you. Just so you know, my Grandpa Jian's name is Chen Xin, and he's a Titled Douluo."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu's body suddenly felt cold, and he couldn't help shivering.
Grandpa Jian... Chen Xin...
He instantly thought of a person, Titled Douluo, Sword Dao Chen Xin! One of the guardians of the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower!
"I... I'll fight!"
Although he really couldn't understand, wouldn't not fighting be to their liking? Why so stupid, insisting on a fight, and not joining forces, but one individual.
"Could it be, these guys have a masochistic tendency?"
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Ye Yu, and said in a condensed voice: "Let's start."
Compared to fighting a Titled Douluo, he naturally chose to battle the boy in front of him.
Ye Yu said: "Let's go to the grove nearby."
Although not understanding why, Ye Zhiqiu nodded and led the way into the woods.
Tang San and the seven did not follow, confident in Ye Yu.
The students of Canghui Academy, however, were gloating.
"That guy is really stupid, trying to fight the teacher alone, the teacher is a Soul King after all."
"That kid looks no more than twelve years old, soul power level no higher than twenty-five, even if the teacher is Defense Type, relying on his own body he can beat him up without using his martial soul."
"They actually didn't follow, can't understand."
"Even if they did, wouldn't help, just wait, soon they'll hear that guy's screams."
...
As Canghui's students mocked, suddenly a loud scream echoed.
"Ah!!"
The screams resonated through the forest, scattering a flock of birds.
All this seemed as expected by Canghui's students; their faces beamed with inadvertent smiles, but suddenly realized something wasn't right!
"That voice... sounds so much like Teacher Ye?"
"Not just sound like... it's Teacher Ye's scream..."
"How could it be?!!"
They were incredibly shocked, looking at each other in disbelief.
At this time, Tang San and the seven all smiled, not surprised.
When Ye Yu and Ye Zhiqiu entered the woods, Ye Zhiqiu arrogantly said: "If you eight teamed up, I'd use my Martial Soul and Soul Skills, but just facing you, my own strength is enough!"
Upon speaking, Ye Zhiqiu immediately took action, wanting to finish quickly and leave with his students, as he felt these youths were definitely not ordinary and he dared not provoke them.
As a Soul King, even if Defense Type wasn't known for strength, he was confident he could defeat the Grand Soul Master with his full might.
Ye Zhiqiu stepped directly before Ye Yu, seeing Ye Yu not release his Martial Soul but raise his right hand, he was notably surprised, laughing inwardly: "Not even using Martial Soul? Foolish!"
However, as Ye Yu raised his hand to punch, he abruptly realized the force was extremely savage, the gust distorting his facial muscles, his hair flying backward.
"Not good!"
He wished to retract his hand, retreat, release his Martial Soul, but it was too late, happening in a flash, too sudden to act.
Bang!
"Ah!!"
The scream sounded, Ye Zhiqiu flew straight backwards, with a thud, his body slammed into a giant tree, which swayed violently, leaves scattering down.
Ye Zhiqiu fell, limply seated, clutching his drooping right arm, face full of pain.
"Ugh... so painful!"
His right arm had multiple fractures, blood flowing profusely, extremely painful.
"How... how can this be?!"
Ye Zhiqiu's eyes widened in shock. If his right arm wasn't treated soon, it would be crippled.
"You're... you're not a Grand Soul Master? What's your soul power level? Above fifty?!"
Ye Zhiqiu felt Ye Yu's soul power must be higher than his, without Martial Soul or Soul Skills, merely with sheer force had knocked him flying and crippled his arm, which a strong attack type on the same level couldn't easily achieve.
Ye Yu calmly said: "Want to know my level? Then use your full strength."
Ye Zhiqiu's face hardened, suspecting Ye Yu had a baby face, looking about twelve but surely much older.
Around Ye Zhiqiu, five soul rings appeared again, the light of the first white and second yellow soul rings gleamed, tortoise shell manifested on his back.
He decided to give it his all, only this way could he discern Ye Yu's strength, hence directly using the first two soul skills. First Soul Skill: Profound Turtle Body Protection, Second Soul Skill: Profound Water Ice Seal.
Staring at the serious, tense Ye Zhiqiu, Ye Yu mocked: "A Soul King, frightened by a single Soul Venerable, how laughable."
Ye Zhiqiu paused abruptly, Soul Venerable? How was it possible?
"You're... you're a Soul Venerable?" Ye Zhiqiu asked in disbelief.
Ye Yu nodded: "Yes."
Ye Zhiqiu difficultly accepted: "You're a Soul Venerable, how can you possess such strong power?! Even a strong attack type Soul King without Martial Soul doesn't have such strength!"
Ye Yu replied: "My strength is so great because it's innate."
Ye Zhiqiu's heart tightened, could it be a special constitution, innate divine power?
He knew a few children were born exceptionally strong, but this teenager's innate divine power seemed exaggeratedly strong!
Ye Zhiqiu ceased pondering, visibly more relaxed.
"Turns out not a Soul King, seems I overthought, only need the first two soul skills to resolve you, this Three-Ring Soul Venerable."
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu relax, extremely disdainfully, Ye Yu chuckled: "Relaxing now, won't it be too soon?"
Ye Zhiqiu scoffed: "Hmph, just a Soul Venerable, want me to stay tense..."
Ye Zhiqiu's last word 'tense' hadn't finished when abruptly stopped, eyes widened, incredibly astonished!
As Ye Yu stepped forward, soul rings appeared successively above his head.
Purple... purple... black!
Three dazzling, harsh soul rings accompanied Ye Yu's steps, falling above, swirling around him.
Ye Zhiqiu doubted a hallucination!
"How is this possible?!"
Ye Yu derided: "I, just a Soul Venerable, you seem unsettled?"
