After eating and drinking his fill, Su Yu felt all his exhaustion swept away.
He was like a man living a second life, vigorous as a dragon and fierce as a tiger.
Unfortunately, Dugu Yan had been too busy lately to let Su Yu get some exercise after his meals.
Still, Su Yu understood.
After all, Dugu Yan was now the hope of the entire academy.
Meng Shenji and the other two old geezers had spared no expense in training her.
They were counting on Dugu Yan to amaze everyone with a single brilliant feat at the Continental Advanced Elite Soul Master Tournament.
If the Imperial Fighting Team really defeated the Spirit Hall Golden Generation,
not only would they obtain three priceless Soul Bones,
but the academy's prestige would also rise like the midday sun.
For something with every benefit and no downside,
the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was naturally united from top to bottom.
Su Yu walked along the streets of Heaven Dou City, taking a stroll to help his digestion.
But as he walked, he sensed something was wrong.
Someone was following him, making no effort to conceal their hostility.
It was hard for Su Yu not to notice.
"Well, well, I was wondering who it was. So it's you."
Su Yu turned around, and when he saw Yu Tianheng's face, an amused smile crossed his lips.
He and Yu Tianheng could be considered old acquaintances.
After all, back when Su Yu had flirted with Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng had often stood by, his face and neck red with anger.
Yu Tianheng had wanted to teach Su Yu a lesson several times.
But Qian Renxue had forbidden it.
A single word from the crown prince, and even Yu Tianheng, the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, had to obey.
This was Heaven Dou Empire territory, after all.
No matter how extraordinary Yu Tianheng's background was, he couldn't cause trouble on someone else's turf.
As the saying went, even a dragon had to coil up, and a tiger had to lie low.
Originally, out of consideration for Qian Renxue, Yu Tianheng had decided to swallow his anger.
After all, Su Yu might have flirted with Dugu Yan, but it wasn't as though they would lose a piece of flesh over it.
At the time, Yu Tianheng had firmly believed that Dugu Yan would never have a change of heart.
But he had never expected...
Su Yu's gift for persuasion rivaled Yu Xiaogang's.
Back then, Yu Xiaogang had used his three-inch silver tongue to talk the holy maiden Bibi Dong into betraying Spirit Hall.
And now, Su Yu had surpassed his predecessor, blue outshining the indigo from which it came.
Even knowing there was a goalkeeper, Su Yu had insisted on scoring a goal.
He had pried Dugu Yan right away from Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng was so full of regret that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Had he known things would come to this, he would never have let Su Yu off back then, even at the risk of offending the crown prince.
"Su Yu, you bastard."
"You stole my Yanzi. I want you dead."
Yu Tianheng roared as though his heart and lungs were being torn apart, his eyes brimming with surging killing intent.
If one asked how much Yu Tianheng loved Dugu Yan, it wasn't all that much.
What Yu Tianheng felt for Dugu Yan was more a desire to possess her.
After all, the Martial Soul inherited by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
When it came to dragon Martial Souls, those who knew, knew.
Yu Tianheng was never going to be particularly devoted in love.
The main reason for Yu Tianheng's anger was that he had lost face.
He was, after all, the young master of one of the Upper Three Sects.
The woman he had set his sights on had been stolen away.
Wasn't that plainly a slap in his face?
As a talented second-generation young master, how could Yu Tianheng swallow this insult?
A man needed his face.
If he didn't get revenge on Su Yu, everyone would call him a cuckold from then on.
How could he allow that?
And so Yu Tianheng had come looking for Su Yu.
Su Yu looked at the furious Yu Tianheng. Rather than rush to attack, he asked a pointed question.
"Aren't you afraid of retaliation if you hurt me today?"
"You should know, Little Yanzi is already molded to my shape."
"And the crown prince is standing behind me."
"Damn it!"
"How do you have the nerve to say that?"
Yu Tianheng grew even angrier.
Su Yu had no backbone at all, yet he spoke so brazenly about living off others. He was truly something else.
Yu Tianheng had long suspected that the Heaven Dou Crown Prince had a taste for the pleasures of the cut sleeve.
After all, he had seen Su Yu and the crown prince behaving intimately several times, with no sense of boundaries whatsoever.
Whenever Su Yu spoke, he liked to lean close to the crown prince's ear, looking as though he were nibbling on it.
Now Su Yu had brought up the crown prince and Dugu Yan in the same breath.
The suspicion in Yu Tianheng's heart was completely confirmed.
There was definitely something improper about Su Yu's relationship with the current Heaven Dou Crown Prince.
"Su Yu, even if you scream yourself hoarse now, no one will come to save you."
"Tonight, you'll disappear from this world without a sound."
"No one will know that you died by my hand."
Yu Tianheng was no fool.
He knew Su Yu had powerful backing.
He didn't want a direct clash with the Heaven Dou Crown Prince.
So he had deliberately waited until now to make his move.
There were almost no pedestrians around.
It was the perfect place to kill someone and dispose of the body.
Come to think of it, Yu Tianheng had Su Yu to thank for giving him this opportunity.
If Su Yu hadn't come out to eat and walked all the way to such a secluded place,
he really would have had trouble finding a chance to strike.
But now, everything seemed to have been arranged by heaven.
The time, the place, and the people were all in Yu Tianheng's favor.
Su Yu was sure to die tonight.
With that, Yu Tianheng seemed to run out of patience, and dazzling dragon scales began to cover his arms.
"Oh?"
"So if you're the one who dies here tonight, no one will know I did it either?"
A wicked smile curled Su Yu's lips.
His sinister cackling made Yu Tianheng knit his brows.
"Putting on a show!"
"You think you can scare me like that?"
"You're just a support Soul Master. What makes you think you can kill me?"
"I only need one hand to deal with you."
Although Yu Tianheng felt uneasy,
he didn't believe Su Yu had what it took to kill him.
Support Soul Masters were universally acknowledged as trash with a combat power of five.
And he, Yu Tianheng, possessed the world's strongest Beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
If he still couldn't beat Su Yu under these circumstances,
he didn't deserve the surname Yu.
"Die!"
Yu Tianheng swung his dragon claw, his whole body bathed in lightning and radiating unparalleled destructive power.
Su Yu didn't move.
As he watched Yu Tianheng draw closer, a hint of amusement flashed across his face.
"At your level, I really can't muster any interest."
In the past, Su Yu would already have activated Fixed Immortal Travel and fled.
After all, Yu Tianheng's whole body was bathed in lightning; Su Yu hadn't even been qualified to approach him.
But now, everything was different.
Where the enemy could go, so could he.
Su Yu raised his right arm!
The Divine Beast White Tiger's eyes erupted with the murderous intent of the king of beasts.
Battle only excited the white tiger tattoo.
"Geng Metal Power!"
Su Yu raised his hand and unleashed a slash.
Yu Tianheng's expression changed drastically, and he immediately switched from attack to defense.
"Impossible!"
"How can you have such great power?"
Yu Tianheng's eyes widened like bells, his face full of disbelief.
From that single exchange just now,
Yu Tianheng had already sensed that something was amiss.
His body was instinctively telling him to get away from Su Yu at once.
Otherwise, he would surely die.
Yu Tianheng didn't understand!
How could Su Yu, a support Soul Master, possess such formidable combat power?
Wasn't this a little too heaven-defying?
