Upon seeing this scene, Bi Bidong pursed her red lips into a smile and explained, "Elder Yan Ying has always been this way; as soon as he hears of a Soul Master who is formidable in controlling the fire attribute, he will show skepticism and must validate it himself."
But Senior Lin Yi could enhance a Soul Master's fire attribute capabilities and much more...
"Teacher, just now Yan said—"
Hulena stepped forward anxiously.
"Enough."
Bi Bidong stopped her from going on with a cold look.
"Nana, what you want to say has already been said by Yan, but where in this world is there such a good thing as beating someone and getting a drop, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing."
Evil Moon followed anxously, "Your Holiness the Pope, this matter is true!"
Bi Bidong remained unmoved, but her expression grew serious.
She held her two-meter-tall scepter, slowly stood up, and walked down the steps, her high heels making a "tap tap" crisp sound.
"In the world of Soul Land, the abilities of Soul Masters are diverse. You are at an age where you crave power, easily misled by what your eyes see. That is quite normal."
Bi Bidong came to Hulena's side and said in a serious tone, "But Nana, why have you started to behave recklessly like them this time?"
"Teacher, if you don't believe it, just look at me now."
Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong turned her head, only to be met with a pair of pink Charm Effect eyes.
"Heh, you girl, what use is there in employing Charm Effect on me?"
Bi Bidong looked at her with doubt, but then a hint of surprise flashed through her beautiful eyes.
Under the enhancement of her increased spiritual power, Hulena's Charm Effect abilities actually caused Bi Bidong to lose focus for a moment.
Seeing the surprised expression on Bi Bidong's face, Hulena felt a triumphant satisfaction.
"This is the reward I just received from that senior, teacher. You must feel that my Charm Effect has improved a lot, right?"
"You think he enhanced your Charm Effect abilities?"
Bi Bidong's eyes narrowed.
"To be precise, he increased my spiritual power."
"Do you think he's the Creator God?"
Bi Bidong frowned, nearly understanding Elder Yan Ying's feelings at the moment, faced with disciples whose thoughts were clouded, it was truly disheartening to have to explain patiently.
"Nana, there is nobody in this world who would give you anything for free without any reason, let alone in such a self-detrimental way."
"You already have an exceptional talent, and it's quite normal for your abilities to develop. Why attribute your progress to that stranger?"
Hulena listened with a heart full of urgency, why wouldn't teacher believe!
But this was very much in line with the teacher's character...
She has always been very rational and realistic in her view of anything.
Moreover, the matter did seem incredulous to speak of.
After all, to do what Senior Lin Yi did, probably only a god could manage...
"Teacher, if you don't believe it, then why not come with us to explore the truth!"
Bi Bidong, with her back turned to Hulena, let out a cold laugh, "Hmph, how could I possibly go personally because of something you few children have dreamed up, it would be nothing but a waste of time."
"Moreover, hasn't Elder Yan Ying gone already? When he returns, he can distinguish the truth. If it turns out to be false, I will punish you to one month of secluded cultivation, not allowing you to leave the Soul Hall."
Bi Bidong's voice was chilling, making Hulena feel extremely aggrieved.
Hmph!
Just wait then!
When Elder Yan Ying comes back, she really wanted to see how the teacher planned to face this embarrassment!
Hulena could hardly wait.
Senior Lin Yi, you must prove yourself well, and with your strength, slap the faces of these people who have never seen the world!
…
"Teacher, the senior is right ahead!"
Yan, full of excitement, led the way for Elder Yan Ying, sharing the same sentiments as Hulena.
They had benefited from Senior Lin Yi, unable to repay the favor, so how could they stand by and watch him being questioned?
Such a generous man, his time to live was already short, and yet he had to face such questioning before death—it truly made one feel indignant!
Gradually making out the scene ahead, Douluo Yan Ying was first taken aback, then couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"So there are actually so many people who believe in getting loot by killing others, Yan, look at you now, reduced to being like these ragtag bunch!"
Yan was annoyed, yet didn't dare to lash out at his teacher.
"True or false, a try by the teacher himself will reveal all!"
He said, fuming and wrinkling his brow.
"Heh, you little brat, trying to compete with me? Well, your teacher is here today precisely to expose the fraud!"
Elder Yan Ying's expression turned serious as he strode with his head high through the crowd and walked forward.
But upon seeing Lin Yi sitting in the stands, he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
...yearning for youth, yet it turns out to be just a little brat!
Fooled by such a young kid, Douluo Yan Ying was truly at a loss for words.
He even began to hesitate whether he should confront the boy or not.
If word got out that he, an Elder of the Soul Hall, Douluo Yan Ying, came personally to compare fire attributes with a milk-scented kid, wouldn't that be ludicrous?
Just as Douluo Yan Ying was about to turn and leave, Yan seized the opportunity.
"Senior Lin Yi, my teacher, Douluo Yan Ying, is ready to go head-to-head with you!"
Damn it... Douluo Yan Ying turned to look at Yan with an extremely awkward expression.
But since so many people around were watching, he could only swallow his pride for the moment.
"Ahem."
Douluo Yan Ying coughed twice and approached the stands.
"Kid, I've heard about you from my disciple. I'm giving you another chance now."
"You just need to admit that my disciple's improvement in fire attributes has nothing to do with you, and I won't make you embarrassed this time."
Lin Yi, sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes.
The young man's pitch-black eyes revealed indifference and detachment, even in the face of a Titled Douluo.
"Don't forget who dug the well from which you drink water. What's the matter? The disciple has benefited from me, but the teacher dares not admit it?"
Douluo Yan Ying was taken aback upon hearing this.
Damn! Is he so brazen?
"You, a kid without a trace of soul power fluctuation, where do you get such confidence from?"
Douluo Yan Ying admitted that he had given the kid enough face.
Lin Yi curled his lips, looking up at him, "Do you dare to kill me? I can elevate you to heights you'll never reach in this lifetime."
You...
Douluo Yan Ying's eyes widened, his heart shocked.
At this moment, Yan casually chimed in, "Teacher, why don't you try attacking the senior too? You really could earn a reward."
"Get lost!"
Douluo Yan Ying angrily kicked Yan away.
The kid appeared to be offering temptation, but in Douluo Yan Ying's eyes, it was sheer provocation.
"An Elder Titled Douluo needs to reach heights through you that he can't in his lifetime?"
"No..."
Lin Yi gently shook his head, calmly speaking, "It's a height you won't reach even in your next lifetime."
Douluo Yan Ying: "..."
He forcibly suppressed his rage. This was Soul City, and even a Titled Douluo couldn't disregard the laws and kill someone without reason.
"Do you even know how to use fire? Kid, I want to compare our fire with you!"
This was the first time Douluo Yan Ying had been verbally outmaneuvered by a little brat.
