Another Enemy Defeated in One Move, You're Far Too Weak

As time passed, Jiang Taichu finished selling all fifty bottles of Life Essence.

He looked at the hundreds upon thousands of people in the street.

"I, Jiang Taichu, am offering a generous reward for information on the whereabouts of a certain kind of Soul Beast. Any under two thousand years old will do."

"It's an exceptionally powerful Soul Beast called the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Its body is covered in dark gold fur, and it has a pair of incredibly sharp claws. Those are its distinguishing features."

"You can tell its age from the length of its claws. Later, I'll post a sheet of paper in front of my little shop showing the claw lengths for different ages. You can check it yourselves."

"If anyone has seen one in the Star Dou Great Forest, you can bring me information about its whereabouts in exchange for a thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"I don't need you to hunt it. You only need to provide information about it to get a thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Of course, the information has to be true."

Jiang Taichu spoke slowly.

"A thousand Gold Soul Coins just to buy information on a kind of Soul Beast's whereabouts?!"

"The little genius is rolling in money! That's worth twenty drops of Life Essence."

"But why is the little genius looking for information on this kind of Soul Beast? From what he said, any of them under two thousand years old will do. Surely he can't be planning to absorb a two-thousand-year Soul Ring for his Second Soul Ring?"

"No idea, but why should we care what he's up to? A thousand Gold Soul Coins for just one piece of information. How great is that?"

"The little genius said any Soul Beast under two thousand years old counts. I'll try my luck in the outermost part of the Star Dou Great Forest. Maybe I'll run into one that's only a few decades old and walk away with a thousand Gold Soul Coins."

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

Quite a few Soul Masters in the crowd were already tempted.

A thousand Gold Soul Coins for a single piece of information about its whereabouts was the easiest chance for ordinary Soul Masters like them to strike it rich.

Just then,

Five youths stepped out of the crowd and approached Jiang Taichu.

Judging by their clothes and the arrogance they unconsciously exuded, Jiang Taichu knew the five were no ordinary people.

But if they had come looking for trouble, Jiang Taichu would not hold back either.

With the Ye Family at his back and a slight connection to the Poison Douluo, he would not easily back down.

"Who are you? If this isn't about the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, please leave."

Jiang Taichu told them to go.

"We're students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"We came today to have a match with you, Jiang Taichu, and see if you're as formidable as the rumors say."

"How about a fight at the Great Soul Arena? You can challenge any one of the five of us."

Shi Mo spoke with an arrogant look, as though certain they would win.

Faced with Shi Mo's challenge, Jiang Taichu did not foolishly accept on the spot.

If he accepted every challenge that came his way, wouldn't he be a total sucker?

"Why should I accept your challenge?"

Jiang Taichu asked in return.

"If you won't accept, you're afraid."

Shi Mo tried to goad Jiang Taichu into accepting.

But Jiang Taichu did not care about any of that.

"Sorry, but I'm not accepting."

"You come and challenge me out of nowhere, and I'm supposed to accept? Where's the sense in that?"

The people around them chimed in.

"The little genius is right. Why should he accept your challenge for no reason?"

"Why do those five look so familiar? That's right, they're the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's famous geniuses: Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Osler, and Yu Feng."

"I heard they've already secured places on the team for the Soul Master Tournament after next. I wonder if it's true?"

Someone had recognized Yu Tianheng and the others.

"They're that impressive? Now I really want to see the little genius fight them."

"But they're all Soul Grandmasters. Fighting the little genius would be bullying him for having a lower cultivation level."

Hearing the discussion in the crowd, Yu Tianheng called out:

"Don't worry. The five of us will only use one-ring cultivation against Jiang Taichu. We definitely won't use our cultivation levels to overpower him."

Yu Tianheng's words won the crowd's approval.

"Geniuses of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you can challenge the little genius if you want, but you should at least put up a wager and issue your challenge sincerely. Then there's a good chance the little genius will agree."

A voice rang out from the crowd, giving Yu Tianheng and the others a reminder.

Yu Tianheng stepped forward and took a large bag out of his Storage Soul Tool.

"There are five hundred Gold Soul Coins in here. I, Yu Tianheng, wish to challenge you, Jiang Taichu."

Yu Tianheng's gaze was resolute, giving the impression that he would keep pestering Jiang Taichu if he refused.

Left with no choice, Jiang Taichu agreed to Yu Tianheng's challenge.

He took the five hundred Gold Soul Coins Yu Tianheng handed him.

"All right, I accept your challenge."

Yu Tianheng's face lit up with excitement, as though he could already see himself defeating Jiang Taichu.

"Then shall we go to the Great Soul Arena for the match?"

Jiang Taichu shook his head and glanced at the open space around his little shop.

"Right here."

"This fight won't last long, and it won't cause much damage either."

Yu Tianheng was somewhat puzzled by Jiang Taichu's words.

Just as he was about to ask, Jiang Taichu turned to the many spectators.

"Sorry for the trouble, everyone, but could you clear some space for me?"

The spectators hurriedly backed away, clearing an area as large as a Soul Fighting platform.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

Yu Tianheng frowned slightly as he asked.

Jiang Taichu thought for a moment and realized which words Yu Tianheng meant. He said nonchalantly:

"With one-ring cultivation, you're too weak for me."

"If you used your two-ring cultivation, you might give me a bit of a surprise."

As Yu Tianheng listened, veins bulged on his forehead.

"You've gone too far!"

"Jiang Taichu, today I'll show you that beyond every person is someone greater, and beyond every heaven is another heaven. Don't think that beating one Soul Grandmaster gives you the right to look down on every genius."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tianheng summoned his Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Two Yellow Soul Rings gradually rose from beneath his feet.

"I, Yu Tianheng, said I would only use one-ring cultivation to fight you, so I'll use only my First Soul Ring and level-nineteen Soul Power."

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

"Fight!"

With a roar from Yu Tianheng, his right arm began its Dragon Transformation. Blue dragon scales covered the entire arm, and blue lightning flickered faintly across it.

In an instant, the whole scene erupted.

"Here it comes! Today we'll finally get to see the little genius give it his all."

"Who do you think will win this match?"

The onlookers eagerly began discussing it.

"You're right. There are countless talented people in the world, and I certainly can't look down on every genius."

"But you haven't reached the point where I need to take you seriously."

Soul Power flowed around Jiang Taichu, and a spear formed from Blue Silver Grass appeared in his hand.

Blue Silver Overlord Spear!

One good move could carry a man through the world.

For Jiang Taichu as he was now, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear was his strongest means of attack.

Yu Tianheng seized the initiative, striking at Jiang Taichu with Thunder Dragon Claw.

But in the next moment,

A scene unfolded that left everyone present dumbstruck.

Jiang Taichu swung his Blue Silver Overlord Spear and, with a single strike, knocked Yu Tianheng to the ground. He then used Blue Silver to entangle and restrain Yu Tianheng.

"Sorry, you're far too weak."
