Liu Erlong's world was created by 'Eternal.'
'Eternal' was one of the abilities of the [Eternal Spirit Skull].
Not only could it continuously nourish Li Yu spiritual power, but it could also create illusions based on his will or the emotions of others.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu clarity of mind was due to this skill.
Now, Li Yu was using it on Liu Erlong, with the same intentions.
After seeing Zhu Zhuqing... bravery, Liu Erlong's heart had already wavered.
After witnessing everything just now, Li Yu could feel Liu Erlong's inner struggle even more.
Therefore, he was willing to give Liu Erlong a little push.
If she still acted the same after seeing all of Yu Xiaogang true nature, then he wouldn't show any mercy.
On the contrary, he wasn't a bloodthirsty person.
He wasn't like that little bastard, who would label someone with the "path of death" because of a few quarrels.
After finishing all this, Li Yu glanced around.
Flanders and Zhao Wuji were each fighting against [Thunder Spirit] and [Thorn Dragon], and Liu Erlong had fallen into the 'Eternal' illusion.
In just a few breaths, the situation had clearly been brought under control.
"Spirit Saint, is that all?" Li Yu chuckled lightly, his gaze landing on Yu Xiaogang, who was trembling with fear, unable to say a word.
Disgust was openly evident in his expression. "Waste!"
"You!"
Yu Xiaogang was furious but dared not speak.
In his eyes, Li Yu was far too powerful. Despite being only a Six-Ring Spirit Emperor, he could easily suppress three Spirit Saints, who were close to becoming Soul Douluo!
Moreover, even now, Li Yu had not yet released his Martial Soul!
What kind of monster was this?
He knew very well that such terrifying overpowering force could not be achieved even by Tang San or Li Yu himself!
Too strong!
"What about you? Who are you to stand here and call me 'you'?" Li Yu expression changed in an instant, his aura suddenly expanding and pressing Yu Xiaogang to his knees.
He sneered and curled his lip, "What kind of status do you have to be standing here and listening to me?"
He then pulled over a chair and sat right in front of the kneeling Yu Xiaogang, beginning to scold him:
"You, you're a waste, fine. But you have to be so arrogant as well."
"You talk about how Tang San is your disciple, how you trained him, tsk tsk... how can you be so shameless?"
"Although Tang San is also pretty shameless and his hands are dirty, at least he fought for himself!"
"And what about you? What have you done?"
"With your strength, you probably couldn't even help someone hunt a soul ring!"
"Oh... and about the example you mentioned earlier, I could actually discuss that with you!"
"With your so-called theory, how many subjects did you actually study? Dozens? Hundreds?"
"With just a hundred or so people, who probably aren't even talented Soul Masters, you want to use that to represent all the Soul Masters on the continent?"
"Don't you find that laughable?"
...
Li Yu made no attempt to hide that he knew about Tang San and even about Yu Xiaogang every move.
Such a waste, even if he told everyone about what happened today, Flanders and the others would probably think he had lost his mind.
What strong person would go out of their way to mess with a mere Two-Ring Soul Master?
At this point, Yu Xiaogang heard Li Yu words, and aside from being shocked that Li Yu knew about both himself and Tang San, the rest of Li Yu words only made his face look worse and worse.
Li Yu was right.
Even when Tang San first hunted for his soul ring, he had almost completely killed by Datura Snake itself!
And what about him?
He was nothing but a spectator, a waste.
And this was a wound in his heart that had never been exposed, but he knew it was there.
Now, the unfamiliar man in front of him had cruelly exposed it, whipping him again and again.
Finally, Yu Xiaogang could no longer endure the constant barrage from Li Yu. He didn't know where the courage came from, but suddenly, he looked up and shouted angrily at Li Yu:
"Enough, what do you understand? What do you all understand? You have no idea what I..."
Slap!
Before he could finish, a slap landed mercilessly on his face.
Yu Xiaogang spun midair, turning two and a half times before landing on the ground, mouth bleeding nonstop, his teeth all falling out.
"You're getting cheeky, huh? What did I say? Just listen and shut up. Got it?" Li Yu coldly spoke.
But seeing Yu Xiaogang in such a pitiful state, Li Yu lost interest in continuing to lash out.
His gaze shifted, sweeping over the battlefield.
Flanders was now scorched all over, with red lines flowing under his skin like a volcano that had extinguished, with magma slowly cooling and turning black.
His aura was sluggish, clearly no match for [Thunder Spirit].
The reason for that was simple.
Flanders' prideful speed was no match for [Thunder Spirit], and his attacks were like child's play in front of [Thunder Spirit].
As for his sixth soul ring's defensive soul skill, it couldn't even block Cai Xu's 'Sun Slashing Slash,' let alone [Thunder Spirit]'s Thunder Strike.
Thus, the outcome wasn't surprising.
On the other side...
[Thorn Dragon], perhaps because it needed to maintain the 'Spatial Thorn Domain' to secure the fighting space for both itself and [Thunder Spirit], or perhaps because Zhao Wuji's defense after using 'Vigorous Vajra Bear's True Body' was too powerful, the battle had not ended quickly.
However, [Thorn Dragon] was very clever, constantly staying on the move, never allowing Zhao Wuji to get close.
Its 'Spatial Thorns' kept slicing through Zhao Wuji's body.
Whenever Zhao Wuji used techniques like 'Gravity Amplification,' [Thorn Dragon] didn't hesitate to reverse the space, making every attempt by Zhao Wuji futile.
It could be said that although the battle on [Thorn Dragon]'s side was slow, it was more frustrating for Zhao Wuji than if it had ended quickly.
It felt like he could finish the fight with a single "basic attack," but was being dragged on by the opponent.
When he was ready to give up, the opponent would approach him just to inflict a little more pain.
The anger grew as he was repeatedly drained...
If it had been a more rational person, perhaps it wouldn't have been so, but in his Martial Soul true body state, the [Vigorous Vajra Bear], there was no calmness. If a stray dog had crossed his path, it would have likely been met with two bear paws.
"Clueless!" Li Yu leaned back in his chair, resting his chin on his left hand and tapping the armrest with his right.
After silently observing the situation in the two battles, he muttered this comment. Then, his gaze landed on Liu Erlong, who was about a meter away, her posture proud, her face filled with pain and struggle.
His right hand, which had been gently tapping the armrest, paused.
A green light flashed in his eyes, and for a moment, there was silence.
"Let's see how you're doing..."
