Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

In Liu Yan's opinion, all she needed to do afterward was to ask someone to mediate, and the matter could probably be resolved.

After all, they were victims throughout the entire ordeal.

However, if one accepts the Soul Fighting challenge, losing would mean losing the Soul Ring that was about to be obtained.

If the battle isn't fought to the point of no return, one could lose their life, or at the very least, be injured, or even miss the chance to obtain their first spirit ring.

If you win, things will be even worse; a bet of 1 gold soul coins isn't so easy to win.

They will likely face relentless retaliation from Shi Yue and his group as soon as they leave the Soul Hunter Forest.

Therefore, agreeing to the Soul Fighting event was completely unnecessary and only deepened the enmity between them and Shi Yue and his group.

Even if they don't agree now, Shi Yue and his group's retaliation will be even stronger.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly glare at the law enforcement captain, not believing that he hadn't thought of this.

Perhaps they simply don't care.

However, Liu Yan did not really resent the other party; it was already quite good that the other party was able to uphold justice.

Moreover, the other party saved them from Shi Yue's sneak attack.

Liu Yan always felt grateful to the group from the Spirit Hall.

But in the end, she couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons.

Even though she could tell that the enforcement captain clearly wanted Lu Yan to accept the Battle Soul, otherwise he could have simply refused outright.

But in any case, in her view, refusing this battle of souls was ultimately more beneficial than harmful.

After all, losing this battle would be a small loss, while winning would definitely mean facing relentless retaliation from Shi Yue and his group.

The key point is that, in her view, Lu Yan's chances of winning are extremely high.

She had always held Lu Yan in high regard for his combat abilities.

This is equivalent to agreeing to the battle, which might allow me to vent my anger, defeat the young baron, or even beat him up.

As for killing the other party, that's impossible.

Having received 10,000 gold soul coins, they would inevitably have to face Shi Yue's furious retaliation.

does it worth?

It's definitely not worth it.

That's why she tried to persuade Lu Yan to refuse, even though deep down she hoped he would agree and then beat up the young baron.

"Refuse?" Lu Yan was stunned when he heard Liu Yan's words.

How could he not have thought of what Liu Yan could think of?

Even a daring idea flashed through his mind.

That means agreeing, then admitting defeat, and completely backing down.

This might greatly reduce the possibility of retaliation from Shi Yue and his group.

But this wildly imaginative idea only flashed through his mind for a moment.

If you agree and then lose the fight, that's one thing, but if you admit defeat or let them win, wouldn't that be like slapping the head of the enforcement team in the face?

They just stood up for you, giving the other side the chance to obtain their first spirit ring.

You turned around and gave up the spirit ring, completely admitting defeat.

Lu Yan would never do something like that. He would either refuse or fight, and he would win!

You could even take this opportunity to teach the other person a lesson to relieve the uncontrollable hatred in your heart.

He almost died at Shi Yue's hands twice!

Regardless of whether Shi Yue and his group would fight to the death or retaliate.

He, Lu Yan, will definitely fight to the death, especially after experiencing the information bombardment of his past life.

He also knew that he either wouldn't do it at all, or he would do it thoroughly.

Once action is taken, it must be swift and decisive, utterly eradicating the threat and leaving no future trouble.

Who hasn't heard the story of the Orphan of Zhao?

But the timing isn't right now; he hasn't developed enough yet, so he can't do it at all!

The only option is to lie low.

I'm so unwilling to accept this! But I can only endure it; it's so frustrating!

The enforcement captain noticed Lu Yan's changing expression and his hesitation.

He wasn't in a hurry, and looked at Lu Yan with a smile, hoping that Lu Yan would agree.

Just then, Su Yuntao, who was standing next to the enforcement captain, spoke up.

"Boss, I have something to report to you."

"Speak," the enforcement captain said decisively.

"Boss, I don't think this baron can leave the Soul Hunter Forest immediately after the Soul Battle."

"According to our entry and exit records, the Baron and his party have been in the Soul Hunter Forest for five days, and only came today to hunt for their first Soul Ring."

“I strongly suspect that the other party may be damaging the ecosystem of the soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest. I suggest detaining them and cooperating with the investigation.”

Su Yuntao's voice was loud and reached the ears of everyone present.

Immediately, the enforcement captain's eyes lit up. He glanced at his subordinate, who was giving a serious report, and nodded to himself.

Su Yuntao's purpose was clear to him; he simply guessed Lu Yan's possible concerns and wanted to help him by stalling the Baron and his party.

But isn't this exactly what he, as the team leader, wanted?

Sure enough, Xiao Tao knows how to handle things; I can give him more pointers in the future.

Then, the enforcement captain straightened his expression and addressed the baron and his entourage in an official tone: "Well, baron, I'm sure you've all heard that."

"Given the suspicion against you, you will have to leave with me later to cooperate with our investigation. Do you have any objections?"

Hehe, when the time comes, how to cooperate and how to investigate will be quite interesting. If we want to, we can find any evidence.

They could even kill a rare soul beast on the spot and claim that the Baron and his party maliciously damaged the soul beast ecosystem of the Soul Hunting Forest.

He has a mouth, and besides, he believes that even if he doesn't speak, his capable subordinate Xiao Tao will handle things perfectly for him.

Faced with the enforcement team leader's questioning, could Shi Yue possibly object? Would he dare to object?

As soon as he raises an objection, the other party can immediately change their story.

For example, he was feeling guilty, so his suspicion immediately turned into certainty, and he took immediate action to arrest the person.

When the time comes, people will be in their hands, and they'll be able to decide whether someone is black or white.

He knows this process all too well!

Isn't this a common tactic used by these nobles?

You Spirit Hall, you bastard!

Unexpectedly, he thought he knew enough about the Spirit Hall.

He never imagined that the Spirit Hall was even darker than he had imagined!

How is this any different from the nobles?

Moreover, the fact that they had indeed indiscriminately killed many soul beasts along the way is irrefutable proof.

Moreover, he wouldn't be surprised at all if they added some "personal agendas".

"I... have no objection!" Shi Yue replied to the enforcement captain with a livid face, inwardly cursing.

This time, they won't die, but they'll definitely be badly injured.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glare hatefully at Su Yuntao. It was all this guy's fault, damn it!

But could he only curse and retaliate against Su Yuntao in his heart?

He never even considered that he couldn't afford to mess with the Spirit Hall; the consequences would be dire.

So, the only thing left to do is vent our anger on Lu Yan and his group!

Once he gets away, he needs to vent his anger on these people.

This battle of spirits will be a great start.

In a life-or-death struggle, he wanted his precious son to kill Lu Yan!

He had immense confidence in his son.

A mutated high-level gun-type weapon spirit with innate level six soul power, he received gun training from a young age.

Nowadays, even a level 10 Soul Master can hold their own against some beginner Soul Masters.

He was just a commoner Soul Master, and judging from his appearance, he was much older than his son, and he was only level 10.

His innate soul power and martial soul quality were definitely far inferior to his son's.

His concern wasn't whether he could win or lose, but whether he could kill his opponent cleanly and efficiently.

His son's response to this question was a cruel smile filled with murderous intent.

Baron: I must kill him. I'm determined to have this spirit ring.

So now we just have to wait for Lu Yan to agree.

At this moment, Lu Yan's desire to accept the challenge outweighed his desire to refuse.

Because he saw Su Yuntao smile at him after reporting his work.

Lu Yan saw three words in his eyes: "Don't worry."

Thus, Lu Yan fully understood Su Yuntao's meaning; this was to dispel his worries.

Brother Tao, you're really different now! This technique looks so familiar to Lu Yan!

Just before Lu Yan could sigh inwardly, Old Man Su walked up to him and said, "Little Six, accept the challenge. Don't worry about anything else."

"Once we're safely back in Notting City, I, Grandpa Su, can handle just a Soul Lord Baron from out of town."
