Yun Ze couldn't help but smile. "What I actually wanted to ask about was Long Chen's family background. What you just said, I already understood from our previous conversation. There's no need to repeat it."
"I was just afraid you'd misunderstand," Gu Yue Na muttered, regretting it the moment she said it, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Whether I misunderstand or not isn't important. You don't need to explain anything to me," Yun Ze smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't understand the deeper meaning in Gu Yue Na's words.
"Oh," Gu Yue Na said, feeling a bit down. Yun Ze's indifferent attitude made her feel very uncomfortable. She knew why she felt this way; she had feelings for Yun Ze, or in human terms, she liked him. Although Yun Ze currently had the appearance of a six-year-old child, his soul was that of an adult. It was this mature, steady, and knowledgeable soul that she liked. Furthermore, Yun Ze's detached, ethereal, and calm demeanor was also very attractive to her. Besides the spiritual attraction, Yun Ze's bloodline also attracted her, making her instinctively want to get closer.
"I'm not sure about this Long Chen's family background. I haven't looked into it. I only know that he is highly valued by the academy, which is why I didn't kill him directly before."
"But this time, I don't plan on holding back anymore," a sharp glint flashed in Gu Yue Na's eyes. Her patience had been completely exhausted.
"Then don't hold back. However, you and I can't kill him in the academy. Let's wait until he leaves the academy before making a move," Yun Ze said calmly.
"Mm, that's what I was thinking too," Gu Yue Na replied.
Within the Sun Moon Royal Academy, there was one Main Soul Arena and nine Sub Soul Arenas. The Sub Soul Arenas were usually available for students to use freely.
In one of the Sub Soul Arenas, there was a circular battle platform in the center with a diameter of two hundred meters. Around it were circular stands that could accommodate up to three thousand spectators.
Their luck was quite good; when they arrived, there was no one fighting. Long Chen was the first to step onto the battle platform.
Yun Ze also walked towards the battle platform. Gu Yue Na stood in the first row of the stands, looking forward to Yun Ze's performance.
Including the students who were already there and those who had just arrived, there were about six or seven hundred people in total. Most of them found seats behind Gu Yue Na. They were there to watch the excitement and admire the beauty.
"Little brother Yun Ze, don't blame me for bullying the young later," Long Chen said with ill intent.
"I hope you can manage to bully the young," Yun Ze said calmly.
"Arrogant," Long Chen snorted, a dragon's roar echoing from his body. His Soul Power surged, and the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul appeared behind him.
His height increased by more than three inches, and dragon scales appeared on his left and right arms, shimmering with golden light and exuding a strong sacred aura. Four Soul Rings rose from his feet, all purple, with varying shades of light and dark, floating and pulsating around him.
"Roar..." A clear phoenix cry resounded, and a fiery Phoenix soared from behind Yun Ze, spreading its wings and flying high, leaving a trail of fiery energy.
Flames ignited on Yun Ze's body, the blazing fire intensely distorting the air around him, yet his clothes were not burned to ashes. His clothes were not fireproof; in fact, they were easily flammable. The reason the flames attached to them while remaining intact was due to his meticulous control over the flames. The flames in contact with his clothes had no temperature at all, naturally preventing the fabric from igniting.
The appearance of the Phoenix caused the temperature of the entire arena to rise. The originally cool arena now became very hot.
Two Soul Rings rose from Yun Ze's feet, also purple. Seeing these two purple rings, many students in the stands were shocked and stood up, looking at the two Soul Rings in disbelief.
"A two-ring Great Soul Master? A two-ring Great Soul Master at just over six years old?" The students were dumbfounded, their shock beyond measure.
Long Chen's pupils constricted, also startled. A Great Soul Master at just over six years old? This was a bit exaggerated.
"Are you ready?" Yun Ze asked, not attacking while Long Chen was still in shock.
Hearing this, Long Chen quickly calmed his emotions, took a deep breath, and nodded at Yun Ze.
Seeing Long Chen nod, Yun Ze no longer wasted time. His first Soul Ring lit up first, Fire Prison! The energy from the purple Soul Ring was released, and flames ignited on the ground, spreading rapidly outwards from Yun Ze as the center.
The metal ground was like it had been oiled; the flames could burn fiercely on it.
Before the half-meter-high flames even got close, Long Chen felt the scorching heat. His breathing became difficult, and the air in front of him seemed to have been burned away by the flames.
He quickly retreated, and his second Soul Ring lit up, Dragon's Roar. The Light Sacred Dragon behind Long Chen roared, and rolling sound waves, like a tangible force, spread forward in layers.
The sound waves were like wind, blowing the flames sideways. Some flames were even blown into the air, but the sound waves failed to extinguish the flames. Not only did they not extinguish them, but they also didn't stop the flames from spreading. The flames continued to advance.
These were Phoenix flames; how could they be so easily blown out? Long Chen's heart sank. Without hesitation, his fourth Soul Ring lit up, Dragon's Might. The powerful force from the Light Sacred Dragon bloodline within him surged throughout his body. His body was covered in golden light, and a layer of fine scales covered the surface of his skin.
He bent his legs and pushed off forcefully, no longer avoiding the spreading flames, but instead planning to resist them head-on. He refused to believe that the flames released by a Great Soul Master could possibly harm him, a Soul Elder.
Long Chen charged into the area covered by flames, immersing himself in the sea of fire. The scorching flames instantly ignited his clothes, burning his body. The temperature of the flames was several thousand degrees. Even with the amplification of his fourth Soul Skill, Long Chen couldn't ignore these flames; his entire body was burning hot.
However, although he couldn't ignore them, he wasn't burned to the point of rolling on the ground. Under the protection of his Soul Power, he could still endure.
With a thought, Yun Ze's Blazing Fire Nine-Headed Bird Soul Spirit rushed out of his body, its size rapidly increasing as it flew into the air. The Blazing Fire Nine-Headed Bird stopped about ten meters above the ground, flapping its wings. Its fully spread wings reached a length of over five meters. Its body was bathed in flames, and its nine heads swayed slightly, its aura quite fierce.
"Boom!" The middle head opened its large mouth and spat out a fireball, which fell from the sky and struck Long Chen on the ground.
"Boom boom boom..." The other heads also began to spit fireballs, several of which fell, covering Long Chen. Although the fireballs weren't terrifying, Long Chen wouldn't recklessly resist them head-on and dodged left and right. Several fireballs were dodged by him, exploding on the ground, scattering flames and becoming part of the Fire Prison.
"Break!" Long Chen roared, leaping high and shattering the fireballs he couldn't dodge. The impact of the explosion sent him back to the ground, staggering back a few steps.
The Blazing Fire Nine-Headed Bird continued to spit fireballs, while Yun Ze quickly charged forward, his body airborne, and delivered a side kick towards Long Chen. Yun Ze's timing was perfect; the moment Long Chen stabilized, he kicked out, giving him no chance to catch his breath. His leg was covered in flames, and the powerful kick was like a fiery club heavily swinging towards Long Chen's face.
Long Chen instinctively brought his arms together to block, receiving Yun Ze's kick. He blocked it, but the power in Yun Ze's leg was not weak, coupled with the scorching flames that seemed capable of burning even Soul Power, causing the strength in Long Chen's arms to dissipate from the pain. His hands struck his face, his body became unstable, and he stumbled sideways.
Yun Ze made a gesture as if drawing a bow, and flames condensed into a long bow in his hands. A fiery arrow was nocked on it, and the bowstring was fully drawn.
"Whoosh!" The fiery arrow shot out, the sound of it cutting through the air piercingly. Before Long Chen could stabilize his body, his left arm was struck by the arrow.
