Chapter 84: The Fall of Emperor Xue Ye, The Collapse of Xue Qinghe (6k)_2

Dugu Yan decided to tell the truth.

What!

You've found someone else outside!

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Yu Tianheng felt as if struck by lightning.

Thump thump thump.

His face paled as he stumbled back several steps; fortunately, the Shi Family Brothers caught him on either side. Otherwise, he probably would have fallen out of the training area.

Yu Tianheng's mindset collapsed.

He hadn't expected that his budding romance would come to such an abrupt end.

"Boss, mourn it out..."

"Yeah, if Yanzi doesn't like you, someone else will."

The Shi Family Brothers tried to console him.

But Yu Tianheng seemed to have gone dumb, completely unable to hear anyone else's words.

"Yanzi, why do I feel like you've changed somehow?"

Suddenly, an ethereal voice echoed from a corner of the training field.

Dugu Yan looked over and saw a girl dressed in black.

Her figure was slender and graceful. A cascade of blue hair tumbled down her back, and a black veil covered most of her face, revealing only her deep blue eyes.

It must be said, those were beautiful eyes.

Sparkling as if capable of speaking.

"Lingling, you always observe so carefully."

Dugu Yan looked at the girl and smiled slightly, "I'll tell you, I've made a breakthrough."

A breakthrough?

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's face lit up with joy, "Does this mean that you are now, like the captain, a level 39 Soul Master?"

"Level 39, it seems that when the Continent-wide Soul Master Competition begins in two years, we'll surely see another Soul Ancestor Level powerhouse."

"Hehe, compared to the Soul Master Competition, I'm more curious about who between Yanzi and the boss will become a Soul Ancestor first."

Yufeng and Osro, who were nearby, also joined in, curious about the outcome.

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan's expression grew odd—what she hadn't mentioned was that she was already a Soul Ancestor Level powerhouse.

Although Qin Xiao had given her only half an Immortal Herb, its effects were immensely powerful.

It had boosted her Soul Power by several levels.

In fact, not only had she become a Soul Ancestor, her Soul Power was now at a hefty level 43.

And furthermore,

Dugu Yan felt that for a while to come, her strength would increase at a shocking rate.

She reckoned that in two years, she would certainly be a Soul King.

"Yanyan, do you think I'm not good enough for you?"

After Yu Tianheng heard Dugu Yan's words, his face flashed with an unusual color.

He felt he understood her thoughts.

Dugu Yan remained silent, not expecting that Yu Tianheng, usually so reserved, could be so quick to infer.

"It seems I've guessed correctly!"

Yu Tianheng understood, "Yanzi, do you think that because I lack talent and strength, I'm no longer worthy of you?"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't spout nonsense."

Dugu Yan kept shaking her head.

However, Yu Tianheng didn't believe her and proposed, "Yanzi, how about we make a bet?"

"Let's see who becomes a Soul Ancestor first. If I win, it will prove my talent and strength, and you'll agree to be my girlfriend. If you win, I, Yu Tianheng, will never bother you again."

"Do you really want to do this?" Dugu Yan asked with an odd look.

"Of course, I have confidence in my own strength!"

Yu Tianheng nodded vehemently and then held up three fingers to Dugu Yan, "Three months. Give me at most three months, and I will definitely become a Soul Ancestor. There's no way you can surpass me."

Dugu Yan: "(￣ω￣;)."

She was puzzled, never before having noticed that Yu Tianheng was a confident person.

Three months?

Heh...

In three more months, I might even reach level 45.

"Alright then."

"Even in death, I'll let you die enlightened."

Dugu Yan nodded.

"Yanyan, did you agree to me? Did you really agree?"

Yu Tianheng was exultant, "Haha, okay then, let's wait and see."

He secretly vowed to take full advantage of the coming period to train with all his might.

"No need to wait and see, we can determine the winner now," Dugu Yan said calmly.

"Determine the winner now?"

Yu Tianheng was taken aback, "Yanzi, are you planning to admit defeat right now? Was everything you just did simply to test me?"

His eyes were filled with surprise and delight.

He even felt a sense of happiness that had come too suddenly.

"I beg of you, stop fantasizing," Dugu Yan sighed.

She felt it was better to prove herself with her strength instead.

In the next moment, a powerful Soul Power burst forth from her, with four Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—emerging in succession.

The people in the field were instantly filled with astonishment.

They were shocked.

"Hiss..." The Shi Family Brothers gasped sharply.

"Four Soul Rings? Yanzi is already at the Soul Ancestor Cultivation Level?!" Yufeng asked in disbelief.

Osro nodded heavily, "One, two, three, four... I counted again, no mistake. It's four Soul Rings. Yanzi is a genuine Soul Ancestor powerhouse. Moreover, this Soul Power fluctuation isn't something someone newly entered into the Soul Ancestor rank can produce."

"You, you, you...."

In contrast, Yu Tianheng was completely stunned, his trembling finger pointed at Dugu Yan. He couldn't stop, yet didn't know what to say.

The biggest shock was his to bear.

Not only had he witnessed Dugu Yan's astonishing Cultivation Level, but even more distressingly, he had lost the bet with her.

At that moment, his mind was in turmoil, as if ten thousand imaginary alpacas were stampeding through his thoughts.

"Yanzi, how did you manage to do this?"

Ye Lingling's blue eyes widened in shock.

Even with her usually cool demeanor, she was truly shaken.
