Ye Yu nodded, "Alright, let's begin."
The incense had been lit, and the four of them went to the training ground, surrounded by many disciples of the Yu Race watching.
Niu Fen said arrogantly, "I am a level sixty-three Soul Emperor. Although I am older than you, to make you leave, I must win. If you can withstand the time it takes for this stick of incense to burn out at my full strength, you win."
With Niu Fen's words, the surrounding disciples began to murmur.
"Withstand a stick of incense time against Senior Brother Niu Fen? That's impossible."
"Looking at the boy's age, he seems about eighteen years old. It's certainly impossible."
"I heard they have ties with the Vast Heaven Sect, and that handsome boy is even Tang Hao's son."
"To think he's Tang Hao's son, Tang Hao really did us a disservice, and the Vast Heaven Sect directly abandoned us. We definitely need to make them leave. Go, Senior Brother Niu Fen!"
"No need to cheer; I can already foresee the outcome."
...
Niu Gao said, "Old Ape, don't say I didn't give you face. If he loses, don't blame me."
Titan chuckled, "Of course I won't blame you; we're still good brothers."
"Let's start then."
As Niu Gao's words ended, Niu Fen immediately unleashed his Martial Soul. Behind him appeared a giant rhinoceros, and his body simultaneously transformed into a rhino, becoming enormous. Six Soul Rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black rhythmically moved around him.
Ye Yu didn't unleash his Martial Soul, nor did he transform into a dragon. Instead, he directly went into complete Voidification, looking like the Ox Head Ichigo from God of Death, cool and handsome.
Swoosh!
In an instant, Ye Yu moved so fast that Niu Fen didn't react at all. Even Soul Douluo Niu Gao, seeing such speed, found it hard to react without psychological preparation.
"Such speed, Agile Attack Type?"
Niu Gao was astonished, but the next second his eyes widened.
With a muffled sound, Ye Yu punched Niu Fen's body, and Niu Fen flew backward, landing on the ground, curling up and crying in agony, even with blood at the corner of his mouth and a pale face.
This made Niu Gao's eyes widen. The speed was one thing, but the strength was so great?
Just one punch turned his son into this state, without using a Martial Soul. It was terrifying! Even a Strong Attack Type Soul Douluo couldn't achieve this without a Martial Soul!
The surrounding disciples of the Yu Race were stunned. It ended right at the start?
This kind of situation was not unthought-of, but they thought the one to lose quickly would be this boy in black clothes.
"Son!"
Niu Gao quickly walked over, gently supporting Niu Fen, seeing Niu Fen in pain with significant injuries.
His heart was increasingly shaken. Their clan's Martial Soul, the Plated Giant Rhinoceros, was second only to the Xiangjia Sect's Diamond Mammoth in defense. But a punch from this young man severely injured him.
"How... how could this be?" Niu Gao was astonished.
Niu Fen, in pain, complained, "Dad, you really set me up. How is he so strong?"
Niu Gao was very frustrated. He originally thought Tang San was the strongest, but he misunderstood.
Niu Gao looked at his injured son, feeling angry, and stood up, saying, "Let me take this!"
Ye Yu asked, "I've won, so we should be able to stay and talk now, right?"
Niu Gao's face was ugly, "This...."
Niu Gao wanted to spar with Ye Yu, partly because his son was injured and partly because he had underestimated him.
Titan said, "Old Rhino, are you planning to go back on your word?"
Niu Gao said, "Of course not. Although originally I was supposed to take action, and I'm not going back on my word, you've won. But if you can beat me as well, then you can stay, and the grievances between the Yu Race and Tang Hao, the Vast Heaven Sect, will be forgiven."
Hearing this, Tang San was overjoyed.
Tang San said, "Since the senior previously chose me, then let's fight."
Niu Gao shook his head, "No, since he's the strongest, naturally, I should choose him. As a Soul Douluo, choosing one of the two young men, how could I pick the weaker one? Of course, I have to choose the strongest one; I, Niu Gao, the Clan Head of the Yu Race, need to maintain face."
As soon as Niu Gao's words fell, they immediately drew admiring glances and praises from the surrounding disciples.
"As expected of our Clan Head."
"The Clan Head never bullies the young as the old; in this situation, having to make a move, he naturally chooses the strongest. Otherwise, being older and a Soul Douluo, if he fights the weaker one, what face is there left."
"This is the pride of our Clan Head."
"Although Tang San, being Tang Hao's son, is also strong, this is our Clan Head, choosing only the strongest one."
"So admirable, our Clan Head is my idol, a model we should learn from."
"Yes, definitely worth learning from."
...
Titan showed concern, saying, "Old Rhino, perhaps stick to your previous choice and fight Tang San?"
Niu Gao knew what Titan was thinking. As brothers, he understood his own protective tendencies, and later, personal emotions would definitely come into play.
Niu Gao said, "Old Ape, are you worried about this kid? Don't worry, I will be careful."
"Uh...."
Titan was speechless. He wasn't worried about Ye Yu but about Niu Gao.
He knew Ye Yu was far more monstrous than Tang San, and there were rumors that Ye Yu single-handedly destroyed Hundred Emperors City and recently turned the tide of the Martial Soul Hall's Soul Hunting Operation. Although the Martial Soul Hall claimed it was false, when he asked Tang San, he received confirmation it was true.
He was shocked at the time, to learn Ye Yu was that formidable.
"Alright, then go ahead and fight him."
Titan no longer stopped him, but if he knew about Ye Yu's achievements during the Soul Hunting Operation, he would definitely prevent it.
Although he knew Ye Yu turned the tide of the battle, he didn't ask further and was unaware that Ye Yu annihilated ten thousand Soul Masters of the Martial Soul Hall in an instant and even killed a Titled Douluo.
Looking at the incense that had burned a small section, Niu Gao said, "No need to light another one, if you can last until this incense stick burns out, you win. Let's begin."
Niu Gao's behavior made the disciples admire him even more.
"The Clan Head truly exhausts all possibilities for mercy."
"But doing this holds no significance for this young man. The Clan Head is a Soul Douluo."
"But this young man is very impressive. To severely injure the senior brother with one hit without using a Martial Soul, unbelievable."
"Yes, really unbelievable. Could it be that he's not actually a young man but has a baby face that makes him look young?"
"Possibly, and he does have an External Soul Bone."
"Yes, and it's on his head. Honestly, the change when using a Head External Soul Bone is so cool."
"Let's watch. Facing the Clan Head, he will definitely unleash his Martial Soul."
...
Niu Gao stepped forward; eight Soul Rings rhythmically moved, and a larger giant rhino appeared behind him as he introduced himself.
"Niu Gao, level eighty-three Defense Type Soul Douluo!"
Niu Gao said, "Judging by your speed earlier, I thought you were Agility Type, but with such strong power, are you Agile Attack Type?"
Ye Yu shook his head, "No, I'm Support Type."
"What?"
On hearing this, Niu Gao was stunned, as were Niu Fen and the surrounding disciples.
They were all astonished, Support Type? How could that be?
How could a Support Type possess such speed and strength? Was it because of the Soul Bone?
The disciples lost their sense of anticipation.
"Turns out he's Support Type, so it seems he doesn't have much strength left."
"Yes, if he were Agile Attack Type, it would be worth watching."
"He's bound to lose."
Niu Gao also thought he would win.
"Let's begin."
Ye Yu said, "Wait."
Ye Yu stepped forward, raised his right hand, and spread it open. The Nine Spirits Black Begonia bloomed, and six Soul Rings moved rhythmically around him, the first black Soul Ring shining as it healed Niu Fen.
In the blink of an eye, Niu Fen was healed, but everyone was not shocked by Niu Fen's instant recovery, instead, they were all wide-eyed and dazedly watching the six Soul Rings moving rhythmically around Ye Yu.
Black, black, black, red, red, red!
The image seemed frozen. Everyone except Tang San appeared as if they were stopped in time.
"Did I...did I see wrong?"
"It's impossible for everyone to see wrong at the same time, this... this is real!"
"My goodness! This Soul Ring configuration, it's beyond imagination!"
"So terrifying! Who... who is he?!"
...
Niu Gao was extremely shocked. His heart pounded as he remembered the young man who recently became famous across the continent.
"You... you are... Ye Yu?"
Ye Yu nodded, "Yes, I am."
Ye Yu enhanced his state, his aura continuously surged, instantly growing so strong it made Niu Gao tremble.
"Come on, senior."
Niu Gao was startled, immediately withdrew his Martial Soul, turned around with a serious face, and said to Tang San, "I shall stick to my previous choice and fight Tang San."
Ye Yu was puzzled, "Why? Isn't Senior Niu Gao someone who cares a lot about face? Shouldn't you choose the strongest to fight?"
Niu Gao forced a smile, "Haha, of course, but I see Tang San is eager to spar and prove himself, so I choose to give Tang San a chance."
Niu Gao looked at Tang San, blinked, and asked, "Isn't that right, Tang San?"
Tang San shook his head, "No, not really."
Niu Gao: "..."
