Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

"Sister Na, the boss is going to have a spar with Brother Yan."

Sun Chuantao explained.

"what?!"

Hu Liena was clearly surprised by this, and her gaze turned to Yan.

"Sister Na, this is the boss's idea."

Zhang Ping quickly explained.

She was well aware of Yan's feelings for Hu Liena, and also knew the significance of Hu Liena to Yan.

In front of Hu Liena, Yan was always the one who was cautious and worried about being misunderstood by her.

Therefore, Zhang Ping specifically clarified that it was Xie Yue's suggestion, not Yan's provocation.

Upon learning the reason for the incident, Hu Lina didn't say much, but quietly watched Xie Yue and Luo Yan in the center of the arena.

She was also eager to know just how strong Yan had become.

In the center of the training field, Xie Yue stared intently at Luo Yan opposite him, with unprecedented focus.

He knew that Yan still couldn't go all out because he had to keep the secret of the external soul bone.

Even so, he dared not be careless, because Yan's soul power was now half a level higher than his.

"Yan, let's have a real contest. Like before, we'll use a 50-meter diameter area as the standard; going out of bounds means you lose."

"it is good."

Xie Yue set the rules for the competition, and Luo Yan readily agreed.

A radius of fifty meters is not very wide, and with the space compressed, the two can determine the winner in a shorter time.

On the training field, the tense atmosphere instantly reached its peak.

Xie Yue and Luo Yan are ready to engage in a real battle.

The onlookers held their breath, but Hu Liena remained calm, though her eyes revealed her anticipation for the match.

"Yan, release your martial spirit and spirit rings, prepare for battle."

Xie Yue let out a low shout, and then a huge moon blade appeared behind him. At the same time, his four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, suddenly lit up, flashing with powerful energy.

Luo Yan was not to be outdone. He instantly released his Martial Soul, Flame Lord, and a huge figure surrounded by flames appeared behind him, accompanied by four Soul Rings, two yellow and two purple, demonstrating his Soul Master level strength.

Xie Yue launched the first attack, and the moon blade instantly transformed into several flying blades, whistling as they flew towards Luo Yan.

That was his first soul skill, Moon Wheel Flying Blade.

Luo Yan calmly responded, and with the sudden flash of his first spirit ring, he instantly activated his first spirit skill, Hell Magma Rush.

A column of scorching magma erupted from beneath his feet, melting the Moon Wheel Blades one by one.

Xie Yue grinned. He wasn't surprised that his first soul skill had been countered, since they had fought many times before and were well aware of each other's soul skills.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Dance of the Moonlit Night!"

Xie Yue's figure flickered, drawing an arc in the air, his speed increasing instantly. His moon blade transformed into a silver-white streak of light, heading straight for Luo Yan.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blazing Flame Slash!"

Luo Yan was equally unyielding, instantly unleashing a blazing sword aura from his right palm, which clashed fiercely with the moon blade.

Amidst the roar, the two men each took a few steps back.

This attack ended in a draw.

"Boss and Brother Yan are really amazing!"

The team members were all amazed; this was the first time they had witnessed Xie Yue and Luo Yan's fourth soul skill.

Looking at the two people on the battlefield, Hu Liena's face showed a complex emotion.

She had never seen Yan so serious.

In her heart, her brother Xie Yue was the most powerful.

However, Yan always managed to calmly deal with Xie Yue's frenzied attacks.

This made her somewhat worried about who would ultimately win the victory.

In the previous two instances, Xie Yue initiated the attack.

This time, Luo Yan is prepared to strike first.

He took a deep breath, focusing his mental and spiritual power.

A vortex of flames suddenly roared up from beside Xie Yue, raising dust that quickly condensed into hard sand in the air before merging into the vortex.

The fiery sand instantly enveloped the evil moon, forming a scorching cage.

This is Luo Yan's self-created technique for trapping enemies: the Blazing Sand Cage.

Everyone was stunned to see the rapidly spinning flames merge with the sand and gravel to form a sturdy cage.

They couldn't imagine how long they could endure being in such a cage.

"Yan-ge is so strong!"

"Yes, it's only been two months. Brother Yan is no longer the Brother Yan we used to know."

Hearing her teammates' exclamations, Hu Liena became extremely nervous.

Even someone at the Soul Master level like her probably couldn't withstand that scorching fiery sand cage for more than a few minutes.

"Yan, you've finally used this move."

Xie Yue's laughter emanated from the blazing sand cage, tinged with a strange excitement.

He had long wanted to try Luo Yan's technique of trapping enemies.

He regarded this as Luo Yan's self-created soul skill.

Xie Yue is no ordinary person, having become the leader of the Spirit Hall team.

He took a deep breath and unleashed his self-created soul skill, Full Moon.

Instantly, he seemed to merge with the moon blade, his speed was increased to the extreme, and the moon blade was swung rapidly, instantly transforming into a round moon-shaped halo.

Streaks of silver light weaved through the fiery sand cage, each flash leaving a deep crack.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the blazing sand cage was completely destroyed.

Hu Liena was overjoyed to see her brother break free of the cage.

"Brother, you're amazing! You broke free from the Fiery Sand Cage's restraints!"

No sooner had Hu Liena finished speaking than an unexpected scene unfolded.

"Yan, I lost."

Xie Yue took a deep breath and voluntarily admitted defeat.

Although he broke free from the constraints, he also paid a considerable price.

At this moment, his face was slightly pale, clearly the burning heat had taken a toll on him.

He knew that if he continued, he would surely lose.

On the other hand, Luo Yan seemed to still have some strength left to unleash.

Chapter 14 Conquering Teammates

Xie Yue stood there quietly, his gaze deep.

Although he gave it his all in the fight with Yan just now, he was still defeated.

Yan did not display his full strength in the battle, and he did not show his external soul bone - the Blazing Wings.

Xie Yue knew that if Yan really used those fiery wings, he would be defeated even more completely.

However, he did not feel discouraged or frustrated.

On the contrary, he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly and even felt a little excited.

Because he knew that only by competing with the strong could he grow faster.

Xie Yue smiled and walked towards Yan, patted Yan on the shoulder, and said in praise:

"Yan, you're amazing. It seems I need to work harder, otherwise I really won't be able to keep up with you."

Xie Yue has always been someone who can accept defeat. He is straightforward and guileless, just like a big boy.

Yan also greatly admired his attitude and was willing to befriend such a person and make progress together.

"You're already very good, which is why I lost to you so many times before. From now on, let's work hard together."

At this moment, the other team members also gathered around, and they all had some feelings about the battle they had just fought.

Sun Chuantao smiled and said:

"Boss, Brother Yan, you two are amazing. This fourth-ring Battle Soul Sect is truly something else!"
