Impossible!
Seeing Ye Tianxing rushing towards his death,
Yan sneered. He didn't hold back, immediately unleashing his first soul skill: Hellfire Lava Rush.
The churning lava on the ground surged rapidly.
Rings of lava fire appeared in front of Ye Tianxing, behind him, and beneath his feet.
Lava shockwaves erupted from within these rings.
Ye Tianxing was instantly engulfed by the lava shockwaves, his fate unknown.
"Bastard, Yan, you bastard!!!"
Hu Liena's beautiful face was filled with rage. She rushed towards the battlefield, hoping to find Ye Tianxing's severely injured body.
Xie Yue and the others also paled simultaneously.
Since the Pope had agreed to Ye Tianxing's joining, it meant his aptitude was quite good. They had witnessed firsthand that a support-type soul master could hold his own against an offensive-type for so long—that was already quite impressive.
Any one of them would have had a difficult time fighting Yan.
"Hahaha, is that all the attack power you have?"
Just as Hu Liena was about to reach the battlefield, a loud, unrestrained laugh echoed from within the lava-shrouded area.
Yan, who had been worried about whether he had overexerted himself, suddenly paled.
He clearly saw Ye Tianxing perfectly unharmed in the gaps where the lava had receded, actually playing with the scalding lava in his hands.
"How is this possible?"
Yan exclaimed in surprise.
Hu Liena stopped in her tracks, for she too had seen the handsome figure. Only his upper body was burned away by the lava, revealing a strong and perfect physique.
That perfect body gleamed with a dazzling luster like refined iron, making him look quite handsome.
"Second Soul Skill: Vajra Body!"
Ye Tianxing lazily uttered these words, and in a flash, he appeared directly in front of Yan.
Then, he threw a powerful punch at Yan's fiery red face.
Bang!
Although Yan was shocked by this, his fighting spirit remained, and he threw a punch in return.
Both were sent flying a considerable distance by the immense recoil.
"How is this possible!"
Yan was speechless with astonishment. He had a thick layer of granite protecting his body, yet his opponent could contend with him using only flesh and blood.
It was utterly absurd!
Was this still a support-type Soul Master?
"I refuse to believe I can't break your body!"
Yan flashed towards Ye Tianxing, determined to see how a support-type could fight a power-type melee fighter like himself.
Bang bang bang—
Ye Tianxing didn't dodge or evade, launching a continuous counterattack.
The clash of their fists produced a deafening sound like fine iron striking together.
Their speed was incredible, so fast that those around them could barely keep up.
Suddenly, their third Soul Rings lit up simultaneously.
"Yan, that's enough!"
Xie Yue appeared between them in a flash, grabbing them with his left and right hands respectively.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Yan jumped back forcefully, as a gesture of respect to Xie Yue.
Ye Tianxing stopped his attack, a wicked smile playing on his lips. He said calmly to Yan, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of me? Why are you running away?"
"You—" Veins bulged on Yan's face, ready to explode in anger.
But after seeing the fierce looks in Xie Yue and Hu Liena's eyes, he fell silent and retreated to the side to sulk.
Xie Yue turned around and extended his right hand to Ye Tianxing: "Ye Tianxing, the Spirit Hall's elite team has recognized your strength. You can join."
[Loyal to the Spirit Hall, just wanting to be a good older brother]
Ye Tianxing glanced calmly at the top of Xie Yue's head, a smile on his face as he also extended his right hand: "I'm honored to join!"
"Isn't he a support type?"
"Yeah, were we just under Hu Liena's spell?"
"I also find it strange. His previous behavior was just that he was a womanizer, otherwise he seemed quite ordinary."
Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, Li Kai, and Xu Yu were talking quietly in the distance. To be honest, today's battle had shocked them to their core values.
As a support type, it's absurd that it can get close and fight head-on with a power type.
This had never happened before in the academy.
Xu Yu, as a support-type Soul Master, was the most qualified to speak on this. Don't underestimate him just because his Soul Power was level 45; he might not even be able to win against a Soul Master of level 30 or higher. This is
because support-type Soul Masters are generally considered a profession that needs protection.
Hu Liena jogged over, her delicate face filled with worry. She carefully looked Ye Tianxing up and down but didn't notice any injuries.
Even if Ye Tianxing was thick-skinned, he was too embarrassed to be seen shirtless by so many people. He took out a vest from his Soul Guidance Device and put it on.
"Cough cough cough—"
Xie Yue couldn't stand it anymore.
Hu Liena then realized what was happening, her face flushed red, and she turned her head away, pretending she hadn't seen anything.
Yan, watching from the side, felt his heart bleed, but he couldn't show it again. After all, his future brother-in-law had spoken, and he had to give him face.
Xie Yue didn't waste any words and gestured for everyone to line up.
He stood at the front of the group: "Today, our elite team has a new member. I believe everyone knows him, both his name and his spirit. But as a new member, I think it's better to reintroduce him to everyone."
"Ye Tianxing, come and introduce yourself."
To be honest, Ye Tianxing didn't want to move at the moment, but under Hu Liena's urging, he reluctantly stood in front of everyone.
"I believe everyone knows my name."
"My name is..."
"My spirit is..."
"Age: 18."
"My future dream is to become the strongest pope of the Spirit Hall, then unify the continent and attack the God Realm!"
Everyone present agreed with the first part of the information, as they all had a general understanding of it.
But then the tone suddenly changed.
"Hahaha, Ye Tianxing, you're hilarious! The God Realm? You're dreaming! Even a Title Douluo might not succeed."
Yan was so amused he clutched his stomach and squatted on the ground, laughing loudly.
The others also laughed, because Ye Tianxing was unlikely to achieve that dream.
First, Pope Bibi Dong is still alive. Second, even if the throne is passed down, it will definitely go to Hu Liena.
And it's possible that Hu Liena won't even get a chance; the power might be taken back by that mysterious young master.
Not to mention becoming a Title Douluo.
In the entire Douluo Continent, who among the support-type Soul Masters has become a Title Douluo?
"Enough!"
"If you don't work hard, can't others?"
Hu Liena turned and glared angrily at the crowd.
She knew Ye Tianxing's aptitude. If even twin martial souls couldn't make him a Title Douluo, then who could?
If Ye Tianxing really became powerful in the future, and given his loyalty to the Spirit Hall, she would support him.
It's just a Pope's position, right?
Who gets it doesn't matter.
Xie Yue also glared at the group still smirking: "Alright, stop laughing at others. Ye Tianxing's aptitude is extremely high. Do you know what level he is?"
The crowd was slightly taken aback. A mere 4-ring Soul Master?
Could those soul rings be fake?
Ye Tianxing sighed speechlessly. To be honest, he originally wanted to keep it a secret until he obtained his fifth spirit ring, then shock everyone.
But Xie Yue had actually seen through his little secret.
It seemed that bastard had sensed the powerful spirit power fluctuations within him.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple.
Ye Tianxing displayed four more spirit rings, revealing the spirit power fluctuations without reservation.
The powerful spirit power fluctuations immediately caused several people with low spirit power to stagger backward.
Level 50 spirit power!
Everyone was stunned,
including Hu Liena.
