“Why do you say that?” Gu Ruochen, the most reserved of the group, couldn’t help but ask.
“From the spiritual incantations Ye Wushuang first displayed to his current swordsmanship, my feeling is that he has never exerted his full strength,” Bei Luo explained.
“I believe that even someone at the seventh level of the Yuanfu Realm would not be his match.”
Bei Luo asserted, “Unless someone like Qin Wenjin or Shang Guofeng steps in, Ye Wushuang will be unstoppable today among those below the eighth level!”
Hearing this, the others were left in a moment of daze.
Could a young man at the third level of the Yuanfu Realm truly possess such immense power?
Inside the training ground, Liu Huan Yu’s figure was enchanting and her demeanor alluring. She looked at Ye Wushuang with a smile, exuding an air of femininity that captivated many onlookers.
Yet, Ye Wushuang simply stood there, unmoving.
From a corner of the arena, a cold snort rang out.
“Who is she trying to impress with her coquettish behavior…?”
Xiao Yuan, Qing Chengtian, and Wang Xueqi, drawn by the sound, shifted their gazes to the side.
There stood the vibrant and youthful Qing Shiyu.
Beside her was Qing Shihua, who frowned and said, “Ye Wushuang is being too reckless… Liu Huan Yu… she is very strong…”
Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but remark, “Shang Shenyan, Chu Budong, and Qin Ming have all fallen to Ye Wushuang!”
“I know,” Qing Shihua replied.
“Every member of the academy is extraordinary, despite its small size of just over two hundred people. Liu Huan Yu is among the very best of them,” she continued.
Qing Shihua, now at the second level of the Yuanfu Realm, and her sister Qing Shiyu, who had reached the third level like Ye Wushuang, had recently been promoted to academy disciples, wearing the emblem of the academy on their chests.
As the royal palace master, Qing Shihua was privy to more information.
Wang Xueqi inquired, “How strong is she?”
With a hint of resignation on her beautiful face, Qing Shihua explained, “There is a saying within the academy about the Ten Heavenly Elites.”
“These ten individuals are Chu Tian Shen, Qin Wen Jin, Chu Ya Qin, Xiao Ruo Nan, Shang Guo Feng, Liu Yi Yu, Bei Luo, Li Lian Yu, Gu Ru Chen, and Hua Yin Ran.”
“Liu Huan Yu… is known among the academy disciples as… the strongest one below the Ten Heavenly Elites!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan and the others raised their eyebrows in surprise.
If the Ten Heavenly Elites were all at the eighth or even ninth level of the Yuanfu Realm, their strength would be unparalleled in any of the provinces beyond the capital.
And they were all likely around twenty years old.
The disparity in talent among people was indeed vast. Many might spend their entire lives without reaching the Yuanfu Realm, yet these few had already become strong at such a young age!
“I believe in him!” Xiao Yuan said again. “After all, he has done things we could never have imagined before.”
Indeed!
The others couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.
The training ground was sealed once more.
Ye Wushuang and Liu Huan Yu faced each other.
With a soft voice, Liu Huan Yu said, “To reach this point at the third level of the Yuanfu Realm, Ye Wushuang, it would have been so much better if you weren’t from the Ye Clan. I would have married you…”
“Even if I weren’t from the Ye Clan, I wouldn’t want to marry you,” Ye Wushuang replied, flipping his palm to reveal a flash of light from the Tian Ya Sword.
He looked at Liu Huan Yu and said with a smile, “Stop trying to use your body to distract me. I told you, I treat men and women the same.”
“After all, in my eyes, everyone from the Five Great Families deserves to die!”
“Prince Ye’s words are… truly heart-breaking,” Liu Huan Yu feigned hurt.
One moment she was acting coy, but the next, she moved with incredible speed. In an instant, a soft sword appeared in her hand, and she unleashed dozens of sword beams, attacking Ye Wushuang in the blink of an eye…
