"If you can break free without releasing your Martial Soul, I won't lay a hand on you," Yun Ze said calmly. He put down his right chopstick, grabbed Long Chen's wrist with his left hand, and looked at him with a calm expression.
"Lay a hand on me?" Long Chen couldn't help but laugh, a hint of disdain in his voice. He shook his head at Yun Ze and said in a condescending tone, "What an arrogant little brother."
With that, he pulled hard, trying to yank his arm back. The result made his eyes widen, and he looked at Yun Ze with surprise. Yun Ze's strength was much greater than he had imagined. He had already used considerable force just now, but he couldn't move an inch.
"Don't be afraid of hurting me, use your full strength," Yun Ze said lightly.
The smile on Long Chen's face vanished completely. He wasn't a fool and realized that the child in front of him was extraordinary. Long Chen didn't speak, silently gathering his Soul Power. He suddenly pulled again, this time not holding back, using all his strength to pull his hand back.
Yun Ze mobilized his Qi and Blood Power, increasing the strength in his arm. It was like a mechanical arm, gripping him tightly, completely unshakeable. His arm remained vertical; maintaining this stillness required even greater strength. Long Chen gritted his teeth, truly using all his might to pull. This could be seen from his trembling arm and the shaking dining plate. However, Yun Ze's arm strength was simply too powerful, on a completely different level than his, making any effort he exerted useless.
Although the Phoenix is not known for its strength, this does not mean it has no power. In this world, there are only a handful of beings that can surpass the Phoenix in terms of strength.
Even though Yun Ze's Phoenix bloodline was still unawakened, it had already granted him strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
His Qi and Blood Power was far stronger than his apparent Soul Power level.
"This child has so much strength," many students noticed this scene and showed surprised expressions. Those who knew how powerful Long Chen was were even more astonished, their mouths wide open, their faces filled with disbelief.
A Four-Ring Light Sacred Dragon Soul Master, in terms of strength, was actually inferior to a child who was only six or seven years old? Even without releasing his Martial Soul, this shouldn't be the result.
Long Chen looked left and right, seeing the onlookers' gazes filled with a hint of playful mockery. He immediately felt mortified and extremely awkward.
I must break free, Long Chen thought. Golden light illuminated his body, his Soul Power surged like a tide, and light points condensed behind him. In a contest of pure strength, he was indeed no match for the child in front of him. He had to release his Martial Soul. He refused to believe that even after releasing his Martial Soul, he still couldn't break free. If that were the case, he might as well die.
Gu Yue Na's face darkened. Seeing Long Chen about to release his Martial Soul, she slammed the table, stood up, and said coldly, "Long Chen, you're looking for death."
Her Soul Power surged violently, and the powerful dragon pressure was released, making the surrounding air feel viscous. Long Chen's body trembled, a strong sense of dread filling him. His Soul Power within his body became chaotic due to this dragon might. His bloodline was greatly suppressed. His Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul felt as if it had seen its king, with a feeling of wanting to kneel and submit. This feeling even extended to him, making him want to prostrate himself before Gu Yue Na, that sense of humility lingering.
The surrounding students retreated a distance. Most of them did not have dragon-type Martial Souls, but they also felt that uncomfortable pressure. The atmosphere instantly became tense, and a battle seemed imminent.
"Na Na, I..." Long Chen felt timid in his heart and was momentarily unsure how to respond. He retracted his Martial Soul to avoid completely enraging Gu Yue Na and letting the situation develop in an uncontrollable direction.
"I've told you many times, don't call me Na Na. Our relationship only allows you to call me by my name," Gu Yue Na said angrily. This person was truly inexplicable. They weren't even close, yet he kept calling her Na Na, Na Na. Anyone who didn't know would think their relationship was very intimate. It truly disgusted her, even made her feel sick. It seemed she really needed to find a time to have Di Tian completely resolve this trouble.
Yun Ze also stood up at this moment, releasing his grip on Long Chen's hand. The sudden release caught him off guard, causing him to stumble back a few steps.
"Let's go to the Soul Arena. You can't avoid this beating," Yun Ze said. He had warned this person before not to call him little brother, but this person had completely ignored his words and kept calling him that. If it were before, this person would have already vanished from this world. Now, he could only give this person a simple lesson and couldn't kill him, at least not in the academy.
"You want to fight me in the Soul Arena? And beat me?" Long Chen suspected he had misheard, his heart filled with anger. Yun Ze had made a fool of him just now, not only losing face in front of Gu Yue Na but also making him a laughingstock. Now, he actually dared to provoke him. If this weren't in the academy, he would really kill him directly. This child was truly detestable.
"Yes," Yun Ze didn't deny it. That was indeed what he meant. He said calmly, "Are you going?"
"Heh, hehe," Long Chen was so angry he laughed instead. He looked at Gu Yue Na and asked softly, "Na Na, your brother wants to spar with me. What do you say?"
Gu Yue Na was truly speechless. This Long Chen still hadn't listened to her warning and was calling her so intimately again. Having already decided to kill Long Chen, she was too lazy to correct anything at this point. She looked at Yun Ze and reminded him with some concern, "He is also a Level Forty-One Soul Elder, with Four Purple Soul Rings. His strength is quite good. Can you handle him?"
Long Chen was more than a year older than her and did not cultivate both Soul Tools and Soul Masters. He focused on Soul Master cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn't have become a Soul Elder at the age of fourteen.
"No problem," Yun Ze answered very confidently. Hearing this reply, Long Chen felt greatly insulted. He clenched his fists, determined to teach this kid a good lesson later.
"Okay," receiving this answer, Gu Yue Na immediately felt relieved. Since he said so, there must be no problem.
"Let's go to the Soul Arena," Gu Yue Na replied coldly to Long Chen.
"Let's go," Long Chen was the first to walk out of the cafeteria, throwing his dining plate into the trash can along the way. Gu Yue Na also had no intention of continuing to eat. She left the cafeteria with Yun Ze and walked towards the Soul Arena.
"Let's go, let's watch the excitement," many of the watching students excitedly followed. They wouldn't easily miss such a spectacle.
On the way, Yun Ze, having nothing to do, casually asked Gu Yue Na beside him, "What's the deal with this Long Chen?"
Gu Yue Na thought Yun Ze had misunderstood something and quickly explained, "He's just one of my suitors. I've clearly rejected him many times, but he still keeps pestering me and bothering me. If I weren't worried that killing him would bring some unnecessary trouble, I would have already had Di Tian deal with him."
After speaking, she emphasized again, "He's interested in me, but I have absolutely no feelings for him. All I feel is aversion and disgust. Don't misunderstand."
