Her voice wasn't loud, but it was as clear as a bell on the quiet cobblestone street.

"Gu Linyuan is stronger than you. Women all like strong men."

As Dugu Yan spoke, she blinked her big eyes.

Yu Tianheng's face turned bright red.

"Gu Linyuan, I challenge you to a duel!"

Chapter 84 The Burning Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling was extremely curious.

Yu Tianheng released his martial spirit.

Blue-gold lightning burst forth from his body, its dazzling light staining the entire bluestone path with a deep blue hue.

Electricity crackled and exploded all around him, making his hair stand on end.

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, one of the strongest beast spirits on the continent, is known for its attack power.

At this moment, the ancient ferocious beast sealed within his bloodline seemed to break free from his body, roaring towards the sky.

Three spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, two yellow and one purple, representing a hundred years, a hundred years, and a thousand years.

Yu Tianheng's aura reached its peak at this moment, and the soul power of a level 39 Soul Master poured out of his body like a flood breaking through a dam.

Yu Tianheng's cultivation level is already very close to that of the Soul Sect.

Ever since his last confrontation with Gu Linyuan, he has been diligently cultivating.

"Gu Linyuan, if you lose, please leave Yanyan immediately."

Yu Tianheng's gaze was like a knife.

"Yu Tianheng. How old are you? Why are you still making such a fuss?"

"You think you can just make me leave? How childish."

Gu Linyuan remained silent.

However, considering Yu Tianheng's age, I felt relieved.

Having lived two lives, Gu Linyuan was already psychologically mature. But Yu Tianheng and the others were still just teenagers in their adolescence.

The members of the Royal Fighting Team retreated to the side of the road.

They all had absolute confidence in Yu Tianheng, the direct disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, and a level 39 Soul Master, just one step away from becoming a Soul Grandmaster.

In this academy, no one his age could rival him.

And Gu Linyuan, isn't he just a clown? While it's not as simple as why Dugu Yan would believe Yu Tianheng's strength is inferior to his, true strength is revealed in action. Once he uses his power, all of Gu Linyuan's pretenses will be exposed.

"Brother Yuan... Waaah... I didn't want this to happen either."

Dugu Yan stood beside Gu Linyuan, looking at the three rotating soul rings around Yu Tianheng, and stuck out her tongue.

However, a hint of smugness flashed in her purple eyes.

Although she didn't like Yu Tianheng, she also felt that Yu Tianheng wasn't entirely useless.

At least it will let Gu Linyuan see that she still has charm.

Men are all heartless. Once they've won someone over, things become mundane. Without some external stimulation, their value in a man's eyes quickly diminishes.

This phenomenon is especially pronounced when the man is surrounded by many women.

Recently, Dugu Yan felt that Gu Linyuan was spending less time and effort on her. It wasn't just less; it was practically halved.

Previously, she had tattooed Gu Linyuan's martial spirit design between her waist and hips, which greatly provoked Gu Linyuan. But this provocation is gradually fading.

Dugu Yan knew she had to find a way to raise her own value.

When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

Taking advantage of Yu Tianheng's admiration as the young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, she aimed to elevate herself and gain more attention from Gu Linyuan; this was just one part of her plan.

Yu Tianheng was unaware of Dugu Yan's many thoughts, and even less aware that he was merely a link in the web of Dugu Yan and Gu Linyuan's relationship.

"You're getting more and more mischievous."

Gu Linyuan looked down at her apologetic and sly face and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her waist.

Her waist was very slender; through the thin fabric of her purple dress, you could feel the soft skin and slightly taut muscles on her waist.

Dugu Yan's waist twitched as she was pinched, and she let out a soft moan, her eyes gleaming with even more cunning.

This woman is really good at creating drama.

That soft, tender moan instantly ignited a fire in Yu Tianheng's eyes, leaving the other members of the Royal Fighting Team dumbfounded. Good heavens, what's wrong with their leader? When did Dugu Yan change her ways?

This woman is incredibly ruthless. She appears very alluring on the surface, but no one dares to experience that allure.

After all, Dugu Yan is a poison expert. If they ever get into a fight, you might end up being poisoned to death by her.

Therefore, most people only kept their distance from Dugu Yan. Only Yu Tianheng, relying on his talent and family background, dared to pursue Dugu Yan.

Ye Lingling had somehow walked up to Dugu Yan's side.

She wore a long black velvet dress that reached her ankles, and her steps were as light as a cat's, making no sound as she walked on the cobblestones.

She still wore that black veil, covering the lower half of her face, revealing only a pair of gray-blue eyes.

She turned her head slightly, leaned close to Dugu Yan's ear, and spoke very softly, so softly that only Dugu Yan could hear it.

"Yanyan, aren't you afraid that Gu Linyuan will get beaten up by Yu Tianheng?"

Ye Lingling's voice carried a hint of curiosity and an indescribable meaning.

What kind of man could have changed Dugu Yan so much?

The current Dugu Yan, to put it nicely, is charming and alluring; to put it bluntly, she's just a stunner.

Dugu Yan is not an easy person to get along with, so why does she seem a bit arrogant in front of Gu Linyuan?

Dugu Yan smiled, her smile carrying an indescribable certainty.

She looked at Gu Linyuan's profile, at the faint emerald green leaf mark between his brows, her voice soft yet firm.

"He will never lose to Yu Tianheng."

“Yu Tianheng can’t even beat me, how could he possibly be a match for Gu Linyuan?”

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes.

A few days ago, she obtained her fourth spirit ring.

Her cultivation level has now broken through to level forty-two.

Moreover, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of her martial soul had also greatly improved. Now she could truly disregard Yu Tianheng.

Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes darted around, a glint of light flashing in her gray-blue pupils.

She had seen Dugu Yan smile at many people, at Yu Tianheng, at the members of the Royal Fighting Team, and at the noble young men who pursued her.

But she had never seen Dugu Yan speak in that tone before; it was a natural expression of happiness.

She watched Gu Linyuan's retreating figure, her curiosity growing stronger.

"Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, Zhu Zhuqing... What is so magical about this man?"

The skirt reached her ankles, made of heavy velvet that gleamed with a cold, eerie sheen in the sunlight. Her figure was slender and tall, her waist so thin it seemed a breeze could break it, yet her chest was full and firm, stretching the black velvet fabric into a flowing arc. Her skin was very white, almost translucent, and against the black dress, she resembled a statue carved from white jade—beautiful, yet possessing an aloofness that kept everyone at a distance. A black veil covered the lower half of her face, revealing only her eyes. They were exquisitely beautiful eyes, their pupils a pale grayish-blue, like a frozen lake in winter, or a distant mountain shrouded in mist. When she looked at someone, her gaze was detached, neither warm nor cold, as if she cared nothing, yet also as if she saw everything.

Chapter 85 Ye Lingling was stunned; the Life System was a superior alternative to the Healing System.

Women are not like men.

Men can only rely on themselves, while women naturally have much less life pressure.

Therefore, any woman with a bit of ability has a touch of arrogance. Not to mention, Dugu Yan and her ilk are so outstanding.

If a ranking were made of women of the same age, Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, and Zhu Zhuqing would all be in at least the top twenty, or even the top ten.

While there are no gender restrictions in Soul Master cultivation, there are far fewer outstanding female Soul Masters than male Soul Masters.

This also means that top female Soul Masters have no trouble finding an excellent spouse.

But why are all three of them dating Gu Linyuan at the same time?

How exceptional must someone be to get three people to put aside their differences, live together, and share one man?

Ye Lingling really couldn't understand it.

……

Yu Tianheng could no longer hold back.

"Gu Linyuan! You still haven't released your Martial Soul? Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

He moved.

He stomped his right foot hard on the ground, shattering the bluestone slab beneath his feet into powder, and his entire body shot towards Gu Linyuan like an arrow released from a bow.

His fist was enveloped in blue-gold lightning, the dazzling light making it appear like a falling meteor.

With all three spirit rings lit up simultaneously, he showed no mercy, no probing, going all out from the start. He knew Gu Linyuan's strength; he didn't want to lose, and he couldn't afford to lose.

"Thunder Dragon Claw!"

"Thunderous force!"

"Thunderous Fury!"

Blue-gold lightning exploded from his fist, transforming into a thick pillar of lightning that blasted towards Gu Linyuan.

Wherever the lightning bolt passed, the air was torn apart, the ground was plowed with a deep trench, and gravel and dust were scattered everywhere by the lightning.

Driven by jealousy, Yu Tianheng unleashed his strongest form.

He wanted Dugu Yan to know who the most powerful man was.

"Yu Tianheng, your strength is quite impressive."

"But it's only good."

"The gap between us is beyond your imagination."
