Meanwhile, outside the forest where Yang Yuan was in seclusion.
Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo, and the Three Committee Members felt the pressure emanating from the forest, and their expressions shifted.
Especially the Three Committee Members.
Although the three of them knew Yang Yuan was strong, they didn't have a precise concept of exactly how strong he was.
So, suddenly feeling this pressure that even made their hearts palpitate, they couldn't help but doubt.
Was the person causing this commotion really Yang Yuan?
However, seeing the expressions of Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo nearby, the three couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Your Excellencies, looking at your expressions, you don't seem surprised at all?"
Dugu Bo said proudly, "Although you are Committee Members of the Heaven Dou Academy, your understanding of Xiao Yuan is still far too little."
"He is a heaven-sent talent; naturally, he cannot be judged by common logic."
The Three Committee Members were stunned at first, then realized it really seemed to be the case.
Looking throughout history, one couldn't find a second person with Yang Yuan's talent.
Even Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, who shook the continent decades ago, would still pale in comparison to Yang Yuan.
Meng Shenji said with a complex expression, "That may be so, but this child Xiao Yuan is growing far too quickly."
"With his current strength, I'm afraid even we three old fellows are no longer his match."
"Indeed, if it weren't for today's event, we probably still wouldn't know Xiao Yuan's true strength."
Beside him, Bai Baoshan recalled the terrifying pressure he had just felt and also felt a lingering fear.
Seeing that Meng Shenji and the others knew nothing of Yang Yuan's strength, Dugu Bo said with a hint of superiority, "This is nothing; Xiao Yuan's true strength is far beyond your imagination."
Meng Shenji and the others were stunned.
They had thought that by placing Yang Yuan's strength at the Spirit Douluo level—higher than their own—they were already overestimating him.
After all, Yang Yuan was currently only a Spirit Emperor.
But hearing Dugu Bo's tone, it seemed Yang Yuan's strength was far more than that.
"Since even His Excellency the Poison Douluo says so, could it be that Xiao Yuan's strength has already reached the Titled Douluo level?"
Meng Shenji and the others sucked in a breath of cold air.
Even the three of them were wondering if Dugu Bo's words were too much of an exaggeration.
The gap between a Spirit Douluo and a Titled Douluo was something the three of them knew all too well.
To call it a difference between heaven and earth wouldn't be an understatement!
That Yang Yuan, at the Spirit Emperor stage, possessed combat power comparable to a Spirit Douluo, the three of them could barely believe.
Although they hadn't fought, the pressure just now did indeed make their hearts palpitate.
But to say Yang Yuan's combat power could rival a Titled Douluo... that was simply too fantastical!
However, Meng Shenji and the others saw that the expression on Sword Douluo's face hadn't changed at all; there was even a look of agreement with Dugu Bo's words in his eyes.
This discovery immediately made the three of them realize something was wrong!
Dugu Bo aside—given Dugu Yan's relationship with Yang Yuan, it was understandable for him to exaggerate Yang Yuan's strength.
But what about Sword Douluo?
With his personality, even if he favored Yang Yuan because of his talent, he would never exaggerate for his sake.
If even he agreed with Dugu Bo, it could only mean that Yang Yuan indeed possessed strength comparable to a Titled Douluo.
Hiss—
One must remember, Yang Yuan was only fourteen years old!
If he already had the strength of a Titled Douluo, then in another ten or twenty years, to what terrifying degree would his strength reach?
At this moment, Zhi Lin suddenly spoke.
"With Xiao Yuan's strength, this term's Soul Master Tournament will be no different from children playing house to him."
Everyone's expressions became strange upon hearing this.
Especially Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo; they had witnessed the process of Yang Yuan killing Tang Hao with their own eyes.
At the thought of Yang Yuan going to compete against a group of Spirit Elders and Spirit Ancestors, the two of them couldn't help but want to laugh.
Those participating teams were truly lucky to encounter Yang Yuan!
If they knew Yang Yuan's true strength, one wondered how they would feel.
"Grandpa Dugu, Three Committee Members, SeniorSword Douluo, you're all here."
Just then, a breeze blew by, and Yang Yuan's figure arrived like an afterimage, treading on the wind.
The eyes of the Three Committee Members narrowed.
Such speed, and when Yang Yuan arrived, they hadn't felt even a hint of spirit power fluctuation from him.
"Hahaha, Xiao Yuan, the commotion you caused just now wasn't small!"
Yang Yuan smiled helplessly. "I was just doing a small experiment and didn't notice the situation outside."
Actually, he could have used the "boiling a frog in warm water" method to slow down the absorption of heaven and earth energy so it wouldn't cause such a big stir.
But in that case, it might have taken Yang Yuan ten days to half a month to condense a spirit ring.
This speed was obviously not enough to satisfy Yang Yuan.
"Could it be that you've created another Heaven-DefyingSpirit Ability?"
Dugu Bo looked curious.
Sword Douluo and the Three Committee Members also cast similar glances.
Yang Yuan gave a mysterious smile.
"It's a secret for now!"
"So mysterious? It seems this small experiment of yours is not simple!"
Dugu Bo laughed.
Yang Yuan nodded slightly.
After a few more words of conversation, the Three Committee Members left one after another.
After the three left, Sword Douluo had no intention of leaving and looked sharply at Yang Yuan.
"Little friend Yang Yuan, I have a request."
"SeniorSword Douluo wants to spar and exchange pointers with this Junior, right?"
With just one look, Yang Yuan guessed his thoughts from his expression.
"I hope you will agree!"
Sword Douluo's eyes were burning, and Sword Intent swirled around him.
The reason he wanted to spar with Yang Yuan was partly because he was bellicose, and partly to use the pressure from Yang Yuan to Breakthrough to rank ninety-seven.
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Since SeniorSword Douluo has said so, this Junior shall naturally accompany you."
After saying that, a Profound Light erupted from Yang Yuan's double pupils.
Within the Profound Light, billions of runes intertwined, and the faint sound of grand war drums could be heard.
He said loudly, "A battle in the Chaos Battlefield!"
Before his voice had even faded, the Profound Light suddenly erupted with a powerful suction, pulling Yang Yuan, Sword Douluo, and Dugu Bo inside.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived at a desolate land emanating a chaotic and ancient aura.
This place seemed boundless; it was the Primordial Battlefield.
Yang Yuan and Sword Douluo stood a hundred yards apart. Yang Yuan said in a deep voice, "SeniorSword Douluo, you can let loose and go all out."
"Good!" Sword Douluo had witnessed the entire battle between Yang Yuan and Tang Hao, so he naturally couldn't have any slight towards him.
Zheng!
As he spoke, a sword light soared into the sky from within his body, finally turning into a long sword that came to rest in front of him.
Sword Douluo reached out and grasped the Seven Kill Sword, his gaze instantly becoming incomparably sharp.
He looked at Yang Yuan and said in a deep voice, "I heard that you can copy others' Spirits, and the copied Spirit is even stronger than the original. I wonder if you can copy my Seven Kill Sword and let me broaden my horizons?"
"Hahahaha!"
"As you wish!"
Yang Yuan laughed loudly, a hint of Chaos flashing in his Heavy Pupils.
Next second!
Zheng!
Another sword chime rang out in the empty battlefield.
An incomparably brilliant sword light soared into the sky from behind Yang Yuan.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, and intent filled the universe!
