Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's voice, Gu Xuan looked up and saw that Yu Tianheng had already withdrawn his martial spirit, and the sleeve of his right arm was gone. Gu Xuan had noticed this when Yu Tianheng used the Dragon Transformation skill, but he had not witnessed the power of the Dragon Transformation skill.

Gu Xuan also withdrew his martial spirit, slowly walked up to Yu Tianheng, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled, "Senior, you flatter me."

Yu Tianheng stared at Gu Xuan in disbelief for a long time before finally saying, "Can you tell me how you became so strong?"

He was not furious or resentful at losing to Gu Xuan, whose soul power level was lower than his own; all he felt was an endless thirst for knowledge.

Both are grandsons of Title Douluo and both possess top-tier martial souls, so why is there such a big difference between them?

Although he was unwilling to admit defeat, he was not as good as Gu Xuan. Humbly seeking knowledge was never a derogatory term, but rather a learning method of a true scholar.

To Yu Tianheng's question, Gu Xuan simply replied, "Nothing more than enduring hardships!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. Had all his efforts over the years been for nothing? Had he wasted his time cultivating?

Yu Tianheng was about to say something more, but Qin Ming had already arrived, along with the other six members of the Royal Fighting Team.

At this moment, none of them dared to underestimate Gu Xuan. Even though Gu Xuan's soul power level was only level 33, he had defeated Yu Tianheng and had become the strongest among them!

Oslo, who had been all smiles just moments before, also disappeared, following behind Yu Feng without daring to look at Gu Xuan.

He was just teasing Gu Xuan, but now Gu Xuan has completely got Yu Tianheng under his thumb. If Gu Xuan holds a grudge, he'll be speechless. So he simply keeps quiet and hides behind Yu Feng, pretending he knows nothing.

However, only Oslo was like this. Everyone else looked at Gu Xuan with an incredulous expression. How could someone at level 33 win against someone at level 37? What kind of monster is this?

"Gu Xuan, you're amazing!"

A beautiful, clear, and melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, rang out. Gu Xuan turned his head and saw that it was none other than Dugu Yan.

Gu Xuan was somewhat surprised, because he knew from reading the original work that although Dugu Yan was ruthless towards outsiders, she was a woman who loved deeply. After getting together with Yu Tianheng in the original work, she never gave any other man a kind look.

They never even gave Tang San, the pure and noble young master, a kind look.

And now? Praising me for being amazing? Or when Yu Tianheng was also present? Or when I had just defeated Yu Tianheng?

Gu Xuan turned his head and saw that Dugu Yan was also looking at him, instead of focusing her gaze on Yu Tianheng.

Logically speaking, if Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng were already together, Dugu Yan should be concerned about and comforting Yu Tianheng at this time. However, Dugu Yan is now praising herself without reservation. Why is that?

Gu Xuan already had a guess in his heart, and it was the only guess: Dugu Yan was not yet with Yu Tianheng at this stage.

With this guess, coupled with Dugu Yan's proactive praise, Gu Xuan's face immediately showed a warm and handsome smile. He nodded to Dugu Yan and replied, "Senior sister is too kind. Senior brother is also very strong."

Gu Xuan didn't say that Yu Tianheng was going easy on him, because it was obvious to everyone that Yu Tianheng had basically used his full strength. Saying that would be a bit pretentious, so it would be better to just praise Yu Tianheng.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan replied directly, "He is very skilled, but he still lost to you!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng's expression changed, turning slightly red.

He liked Dugu Yan. He and Dugu Yan both entered the Tiandou Royal Academy at the age of fifteen. At that time, Dugu Yan was also beautiful and youthful. However, Dugu Yan's personality at that time was not as optimistic and cheerful as it is now. Instead, she had a cold and aloof demeanor.

Because of the venom of the Jade Scale Snake, Dugu Yan had almost no friends growing up and never experienced the joy of peaceful coexistence with friends.

Over the past two years, Yu Tianheng has been guiding her and teaching her how to get along with others. Another point is that Yu Tianheng is not afraid of his Jade Scale Serpent venom, which warms Dugu Yan's heart.

Yu Tianheng had not tried to win over Dugu Yan before because he was afraid that Dugu Yan would think he was taking advantage of her. So he always treated Dugu Yan as a good friend.

And it is precisely because of this that he is closer to Dugu Yan than to others. Now he feels that the time is ripe and plans to cultivate his relationship with Dugu Yan further before confessing his feelings and winning her over in one fell swoop.

Then, just now, Yu Tianheng felt that his position might be threatened.

No girl dislikes an outstanding peer, especially since Gu Xuan is indeed more handsome than him, and his strength and talent are also superior.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng felt a pang of regret for not confessing his feelings to Dugu Yan sooner and instead choosing to be good friends with her.

As for Dugu Yan, she does have feelings for Yu Tianheng, after all, this man helped her out of her darkest period. However, just as Yu Tianheng has shown, Dugu Yan currently only regards Yu Tianheng as a close friend, a relationship that is more than friendship but not quite romance.

Because Yu Tianheng had never said those kinds of words to her, but he did express his admiration for her.

However, when Yu Tianheng explained it, he only said that it was not the kind of liking that exists between lovers, but rather an instinct towards outstanding women.

That's right, it's exactly like that. This is Yu Tianheng's first time in a relationship, so how would he know how to strike the right balance? There are always some things he says that cause the feelings between the two of them to stagnate, and then... now Gu Xuan has arrived.

Gu Xuan was still happy to realize this. Even though he could see that Yu Tianheng liked Dugu Yan, the fact that the two of them weren't together meant it was fair competition.

Gu Xuan was already quite handsome, and with his exceptional talent and smooth-talking tongue, he was confident he could win over Dugu Yan.

To be fair, Dugu Yan is now seventeen years old and her figure has fully developed. In the precocious world of Douluo Continent, Dugu Yan looks like a mature twenty-year-old older sister. It would be a lie for Gu Xuan to say he doesn't like her.

Of course, Gu Xuan wouldn't let lust cloud his judgment and only like Dugu Yan in one aspect. More importantly, it was because of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that he pursued Dugu Yan for his main purpose.

Gu Xuan's idea was to directly take down Dugu Yan and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and then use this relationship to bring Dugu Yan to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, taking them all down in one fell swoop. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Therefore, Gu Xuan's open display of affection for Dugu Yan was far more enjoyable than Yu Tianheng's almost unrequited love.

Girls are like that. As long as you make her feel that she is special in your heart, she will definitely receive the signal. As long as she also has feelings for you, and your subsequent actions do not make her feel disgusted, you can naturally get into her heart.

In fact, if Gu Xuan hadn't appeared, Yu Tianheng would have been able to win Dugu Yan's heart and be with her within a year, or even less than six months.

But things are different now; Gu Xuanqu won't let such a good opportunity slip by.

Between a good older sister and a loving older sister, Gu Xuan chose the latter!
