Zhang Wei, a burly man, was a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse. His martial soul was the Vajra Ape. Having once earned Xue Xing's favor, he had been arranged to serve as a member of the Education Committee within Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The position granted him considerable authority, and it was what he took the most pride in.
Chi Xiu's veiled mockery instantly provoked Zhang Wei's fury.
This brat was indeed a genius, but geniuses could die young as well.
At this moment, Zhang Wei had already developed murderous intent toward Chi Xiu. This child had already harbored rebellious thoughts. If allowed to grow, he would certainly become detrimental to Heaven Dou Royal Academy—and, through Xue Xing's connection, even to the Empire.
Besides, what sort of background could a student from Purple Star Academy possibly have?
Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi merely cherished talent, which was why they wanted to recruit him. Even if this brat died, they would not truly fall out with them over it.
With that thought, Zhang Wei looked down at Chi Xiu, vicious light surfacing in his eyes.
"Repeat what you just said."
Although the Meteorite Stone could neutralize attacks, it could not dispel pressure. The pressure released by a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse was still terrifying. Chi Xiu's collar had already been soaked with sweat.
Yet he was not afraid in the slightest. This old bastard was still far from being able to hurt him.
Chi Xiu stepped forward, staring resolutely at Zhang Wei.
"Now I see just how filthy and corrupt the management of Heaven Dou Royal Academy is. One rotten rat droppings ruins an entire pot of porridge. No matter how many resources the Empire gives you, it still can't prop you up!"
Zhang Wei smiled madly. "Save that mouth of yours for the King of Hell..."
As he spoke, a large hand condensed force, its palm rapidly closing in on Chi Xiu's heart!
First Soul Skill, Destruction Palm!
Zhang Wei's first yellow soul ring began to shine, and wildly violent power erupted from his entire body.
Chi Xiu's eyes swiftly turned into vertical pupils, red arcs of lightning winding around his legs. He dodged Zhang Wei's First Soul Skill with astonishing speed. His right hand was instantly covered in seven-colored scales, and sharp claw blades flashed with cold light.
First Soul Skill! Lightning Attribute: Shatter!
Purple lightning clung to his claws. Empowered by a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, Chi Xiu thrust beneath Zhang Wei's ribs. The sharp blades easily pierced Zhang Wei's skin, and under the shattering effect, the wound instantly became a bloody mess.
Chi Xiu twisted his five fingers, and the purple lightning immediately spread outward, madly devouring the flesh around the wound!
Zhang Wei's expression changed drastically. By the time he realized what had happened, it was already too late. It had been too fast—so fast that he had not even felt pain, only a faint numbness.
Chi Xiu flicked his right arm, scattering shattered flesh across the floor.
His dragon-clawed right hand was dripping with blood, but the vicious light in Chi Xiu's vertical pupils had not diminished in the slightest.
Meng Shenji rose from his seat in astonishment.
As he stared at the scene before him, he was completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Wei clutched his side and leaned against the wall, his face pale. But more than pain, he felt shock. Blood was still continuously pouring from his wound.
Chi Xiu stood where he was, two pitch-black soul rings rotating beneath his feet. Not far behind him, Ning Fengzhi held the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, three pitch-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings shining at once. Every enhancement had been bestowed upon Chi Xiu.
A Great Soul Master had defeated a Soul Douluo with the support of auxiliary soul skills?!
Though strictly speaking, it was a Ten Thousand Year soul skill that had beaten a hundred-year soul skill.
Wait!
Meng Shenji immediately looked at the soul rings beneath Chi Xiu's feet. Two Ten Thousand Year soul rings?!
"Your first and second soul rings are both Ten Thousand Year soul rings?!"
Chi Xiu turned his icy vertical pupils toward Meng Shenji. "What does that have to do with you?"
Zhang Wei's wound was still bleeding profusely. He could have stopped the bleeding with Soul Power, but the purple lightning kept eroding his flesh everywhere, making the wound impossible to heal.
Chi Xiu understood this clearly. The Dragon God Martial Soul was inherently unique. It commanded countless elements and powers, and combining those elements with those powers was the Dragon God's special ability.
Xue Xing gestured toward Zhang Wei at that moment, and the latter immediately understood.
"Brat, it seems I truly underestimated you!"
Veins bulged across Zhang Wei's body as he walked toward Chi Xiu step by step, releasing his soul rings again. This time, he intended to kill Chi Xiu without holding anything back. That had also been the meaning behind Xue Xing's look.
Leaving Chi Xiu alive would bring them no benefit in the future.
"With me here, you dare?!"
Xue Qinghe glared at Zhang Wei, but Meng Shenji flashed forward and blocked her path.
"Your Highness, please consider the bigger picture. This child will surely become a calamity for our royal family."
"Meng Shenji, get out of my way!"
Chi Xiu glanced at Xue Qinghe, who was blocked by Meng Shenji, and his eyes turned cold once more.
What a Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Now, none of you can be allowed to live.
So what if he was a Prince? So what if he was on the Education Committee? So what if he was a Soul Douluo?
Chi Xiu lowered his hands as large patches of seven-colored scales gradually covered his arms, shoulders, and the side of his face.
But just then, the doors to the Education Committee Office suddenly turned to ash, and a scorching aura rushed toward them.
An incomparably beautiful silver-haired girl stood there.
She strode into the room with terrifying momentum. Lightning flickered in one palm while flames burned in the other, and her entire body radiated a terrifying aura like that of a primordial beast.
"Those who wish to harm him shall die without leaving a corpse!"
Gu Yuena spoke, her icy tone sending chills down everyone's spine.
She first raised a hand and pointed at Zhang Wei. A torrent of extremely high-temperature flames instantly swept toward him.
Boom!
Zhang Wei's burly body smashed straight through the wall and fell from the building.
A flash of silver light followed, and Gu Yuena appeared in the sky. She raised both hands above her head, and in an instant, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and dark clouds gathered.
Purple lightning converged between her hands before blasting toward Zhang Wei, who lay below.
Boom!
A black crater was blasted into the ground below, and Zhang Wei was reduced to nothing.
Xue Xing was so frightened that he instantly fell to the floor. He ran toward the doorway, only for the silver-haired girl to appear there in an instant.
Gu Yuena crossed her arms over her chest and looked coldly at Xue Xing before turning to Chi Xiu.
"Master, how should this old bastard be dealt with?"
"Master?!"
Everyone present stared at Chi Xiu in shock. How could someone so young have such an overwhelmingly powerful subordinate?
Ning Fengzhi put away the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It seemed there was no longer any need to enhance Chi Xiu. With this silver-haired girl here, even an army of millions likely could not harm a single hair on Chi Xiu's head.
Chi Xiu shook the blood from his still-wet right hand and slowly walked toward Xue Xing.
"You can't kill me!"
Xue Xing shouted.
"Chi Xiu, don't act recklessly! He is a Prince!"
Meng Shenji was just about to release his martial soul when Gu Yuena shot him a glare. She swiftly raised her hand, golden light appearing in her palm. This time, it was a light-element attack.
Boom!
Meng Shenji's body flew far into the distance. Under an attack with power comparable to that of a god, a mere Soul Douluo had no ability to resist at all.
"Clan Master Ning! Save me!"
Xue Xing looked toward Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi turned around as though he had heard nothing. He had just witnessed this Prince give the order to kill.
Chi Xiu had already arrived in front of Xue Xing. He grabbed Xue Xing by the collar and slapped that withered old face.
"Idiots like you are everywhere."
The slap left Xue Xing dazed. His head struck the wall, and he collapsed again before struggling to his feet.
Chi Xiu stepped forward and kicked him in the stomach, just as Xue Xing had previously kicked Song Ming.
Ning Fengzhi looked toward Xue Qinghe then, suddenly finding it strange. As Xue Xing's own nephew, not only was Xue Qinghe making no attempt to stop what was happening, she instead looked as though she was thoroughly enjoying it.
