Marvel: Beginning with the Collection of Shinra Tensei

The overwhelming combination of the visual and sensory impact left everyone stunned. They stood frozen, staring at the enormous figure behind Erina.

It was a woman radiating golden light, her features strikingly similar to Erina's. Behind her stretched six massive wings, disproportionate to her delicate form, making her look like a celestial being descended from the heavens.

Hu Liena recognized this phenomenon immediately. She had read about it in ancient tomes within the Spirit Hall. It was a legendary martial spirit, so rare that the number of recorded holders could be counted on one hand.

Now, among these four obscure individuals, one girl possessed such a mythical martial spirit. How could Hu Liena not be utterly shocked?

Meanwhile, Erina finished absorbing the soul ring of the Azure Water Dragon Serpent. She exhaled deeply, her face brimming with joy. "My body feels completely transformed—this power is incredible!"

She casually swung her hand, and the gust generated by the motion alone was proof that her physical strength had surpassed the limits of ordinary humans.

"So, what's your first soul skill?"

Han Yu grinned and approached Erina, curious.

Erina closed her eyes briefly, sensing the changes within her. A faint smile appeared on her lips as the Six-Winged Angel martial spirit materialized behind her. Her red lips parted, and she announced, "First Soul Skill: Misty Illusion Wave!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, the entire scene before everyone's eyes changed. Hu Liena and her group cried out in alarm, struggling to unleash their soul power to resist. However, this was a soul skill derived from a millennium-level soul beast and enhanced by the Six-Winged Angel martial spirit. For those under level 50, resistance was futile.

In stark contrast, Han Yu and the other two stood calmly, inspecting the illusion with interest, showing no signs of resistance.

"This is a remarkable illusion. In my world, even a mid-tier Dou King would struggle to break free from this unless they had extensive experience combating illusions," Xiao Yan remarked, offering high praise.

However, he acknowledged the differences in power systems. His Dou Qi cultivation focused more on offense and defense, unlike soul power, which provided a broader range of abilities, including such complex illusions.

"A first soul skill that creates illusions? Not bad. With the martial spirit and soul ring being so unique, most soul experts around level 40 wouldn't even realize they're caught in an illusion," Han Yu added.

"Amazing!" Ace chimed in. Though he wasn't deeply knowledgeable about the subject, he expressed his approval with a simple word he'd picked up from a general store.

"Ugh, can't you guys at least act a little scared? Instead, you're just calmly analyzing my illusion," Erina complained, exasperated. Her illusion had zero effect on them—not because it was weak, but because they never thought she'd harm them, so they didn't even bother resisting.

Left with no choice, Erina dispelled the illusion. Thanks to the green energy from Han Yu, which could merge with anything, the strength of her illusion had been significantly amplified. This was why even as a Level 20 Soul Master, her skill could overwhelm opponents at Level 40.

When the illusion faded, Hu Liena and her group collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath. The suddenness of the illusion had caught them completely off guard, leaving them utterly defenseless.

"So this is the power of a legendary martial spirit? It's absolutely incredible!" Hu Liena exclaimed, staring at Erina with disbelief.

Erina's noble aura had always been apparent, but now, with the Six-Winged Angel martial spirit, it was even more pronounced. After activating her martial spirit, she truly looked like a goddess descending from the heavens.

"Um... hello," Hu Liena said as she stepped forward. "Let me introduce myself. I am Hu Liena from the Spirit Hall. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Confident in her charm and status, Hu Liena believed there was no way these strangers wouldn't be swayed by her introduction.

To her surprise, Han Yu appeared deep in thought. It's just an introduction—why does he need to think so hard about it? A sense of unease began to creep into Hu Liena.

"Nice to meet you. But don't get too excited just yet," Han Yu replied.

Pfft!

Han Yu and his two companions burst into laughter. What a response: "Don't get too excited just yet." It was the first time they'd seen someone reply like this to a self-introduction. This peculiar personality of Han Yu's was precisely why Xiao Yan and Ace found him so likable.

Powerful yet delightfully goofy—while it might leave others speechless at first, spending time with him often made people realize how refreshing and amusing he was.

"Why would you say that?" Hu Liena asked, her smile slightly stiff. She was used to seeing others react with shock or awe after her introductions. This kind of response was entirely new to her.

"Well," Han Yu began, still smiling, "you guys just brought a hostile soul beast over here without asking us first, interrupting our lovely barbecue. So, I'd say you owe us compensation—medical fees, lost time, emotional damages. Whatever good stuff you have, hand it over to make up for it."

The group was stunned. Indeed, it had been their mistake to draw the soul beast into Han Yu's area, but this sudden demand caught them off guard. They had assumed Han Yu's group might show some respect after hearing Hu Liena's name.

Forget respect—Han Yu's crew was already kind for not ripping them apart.

"Wait... Why would we pay medical fees? None of you got hurt," a Spirit Hall disciple protested, confused.

"Oh, really? Look at this."

Han Yu chuckled and raised his right hand, showing them his index finger. There was a tiny scratch on it—so small it would've healed if they had delayed any longer.

"That's it? Did we even cause that? You could've gotten such a tiny cut from brushing against a blade of grass," the Spirit Hall disciple retorted.

Han Yu didn't bother responding further. He simply stood there, staring at them calmly after making his point.

The people gathered around Hu Liena were no amateurs. All of them were around level 30, making them outstanding among their peers at sixteen or seventeen years old. Their collective battle aura was intimidating.

"Let me make this clear: Hu Liena is the current Pope's personal disciple and the Saintess of Spirit Hall. If you're smart, you'll assist us obediently. Harm even a single hair on our heads, and you'll face relentless pursuit from the Spirit Hall!"

One of the Spirit Hall disciples puffed up with arrogance, exuding an air of superiority as if their Spirit Hall ruled second only to the heavens. Unfortunately for him, Han Yu wasn't the least bit intimidated.

"Oh? Spirit Hall... Is it really that impressive?"

Han Yu's seemingly casual words carried no discernible emotion, yet they descended like a towering mountain, crushing them with an overwhelming, suffocating pressure.
