"Good!"

"You go up!"

Qin Ming nodded. If Yu Tianheng did not go up, probably no one else would be Su Xing's match.

"Teacher, he's only level 27. His Soul Power is already lower than mine, so I don't plan to use my third Spirit Skill!" Yu Tianheng shook his head. He had his own pride as well.

"I am Yu Tianheng, captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Martial Soul Team, a level 38 Soul Elder. Your next challenger is me! But don't worry, I will only use my first and second Spirit Skills!"

"You've already fought two consecutive battles. I'll wait for you to recover your Soul Power first!"

After Yu Tianheng stepped forward, he did not immediately begin.

Su Xing did not act overconfident either. After nodding, he began recovering where he stood.

Su Xing's consumption had not been light either. It took him half an hour to recover fully.

"Begin. Let me see what your Martial Soul is!"

Once he saw Su Xing rise to his feet, Yu Tianheng walked over and spoke from across from him.

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"

As he spoke, Yu Tianheng had already taken the lead in summoning his Martial Soul.

Aside from Yu Tianheng, everyone present, including the principal, eagerly awaited the reveal of Su Xing's Martial Soul.

"Then you may be disappointed!"

Su Xing smiled faintly, extended his right hand, and slowly summoned his Martial Soul.

Ding~

A Coin appeared, threaded with several arcs of blue Lightning.

"What? That's his Martial Soul?"

"A Coin..."

"Impossible, right? Why don't I feel that this Martial Soul is strong at all? It actually feels weak..."

"It really isn't a top-tier Martial Soul. It isn't even a high-grade Martial Soul..."

"..."

Once a person's Martial Soul was revealed, one could generally tell whether it was top-tier or not.

The higher the quality of a Martial Soul, the more it gave off an oppressive feeling. Yet they could not sense even a trace of intimidation from Su Xing's Martial Soul.

This severely contradicted the strength Su Xing had displayed.

It did not resemble the Martial Soul of someone capable of defeating opponents above his level.

"This is your Martial Soul?"

Yu Tianheng still could not believe it as he looked at Su Xing's Martial Soul.

"That's right. My Martial Soul is only a low-quality one!"

"And I don't have any Spirit Rings either, because I blew them all up!"

Su Xing did not care in the slightest that his Martial Soul was of such low quality and stated it openly.

"What?"

"You actually blew up your Spirit Rings?"

"Why?"

Hearing Su Xing's words, Yu Tianheng was startled once more, as were Qin Ming and the others.

Su Xing's situation had truly exceeded their expectations again and again.

"Because I don't need them. No matter how many Spirit Skills there are, I can create them myself."

Su Xing always had the same attitude toward such questions: I'm a genius, so I can do whatever I want.

"..."

Faced with Su Xing's answer, everyone was just as dumbfounded and speechless as the people of Shrek Academy had been before.

"Then let me see just how strong your Self-Created Soul Skill is!" After his moment of speechlessness, Yu Tianheng stopped wasting words and made his move.

"First Spirit Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Crackle crackle crackle~ Boom!

A phantom dragon claw emerged behind Yu Tianheng, then covered his right hand. At the same time, blue Lightning spread around his body, its momentum astonishing!

"Lightning Release Armor!"

Su Xing released his Lightning Release Armor at the same time.

Likewise, streaks of Lightning spread across Su Xing's body.

As for Su Xing's Martial Soul, it was useless unless he used the Railgun, so he put it away as soon as the fight began.

For a moment, both Su Xing and Yu Tianheng were wreathed in Lightning.

They appeared to be in similar stances, but a closer look revealed that Su Xing's Lightning was woven into his flesh.

Yu Tianheng's Lightning, meanwhile, was woven around his body, outside his skin.

One was internal, while the other was external.

Standing close to Su Xing and observing his Self-Created Soul Skill, Yu Tianheng's expression concealed excitement. Su Xing's Spirit Skill really did fuse Lightning into his body—but how had he done it?

"Thunder Dragon Claw!"

In order to personally experience the power of Su Xing's Self-Created Soul Skill, Yu Tianheng stopped waiting and launched the first attack, charging at Su Xing.

Su Xing naturally felt no fear and instantly flashed forward to meet him.

Boom!

The two figures quickly collided.

Then they each retreated.

Yu Tianheng took three steps back, while Su Xing took four.

In a direct clash, Su Xing was slightly inferior!

"Not bad. Again!"

"Thunderbolt!"

Seeing that Su Xing could actually contend with him head-on, Yu Tianheng could not help but feel somewhat shocked. Su Xing was only level 27!

This meant Su Xing was fighting him across an entire major rank.

Yu Tianheng's interest was piqued as well. He wanted to see where Su Xing's limits lay.

After that, Yu Tianheng alternated between his first and second Spirit Skills as he fought Su Xing fiercely.

After several rounds of direct exchanges, Su Xing changed his strategy. He no longer fought head-on, instead using his speed advantage to battle.

Just as when he had fought Dai Mubai, Su Xing could have won easily. But to give his future captain some face, he did not use his full strength!

Yu Tianheng, who had originally been able to face Su Xing directly, was immediately forced onto the defensive.

He could not keep up with Su Xing's speed and could not seize the initiative, only counterattacking passively.

However, Yu Tianheng was only at a disadvantage in the beginning. Before long, he was able to keep up with Su Xing's rhythm.

Although his speed was inferior to Su Xing's, his reaction speed was not slow, and his combat experience far surpassed Su Xing's. He blocked every one of Su Xing's attacks.

Each time Su Xing was blocked, he swiftly retreated.

For a time, neither could do anything to the other, and the battle fell into a stalemate.

Yu Tianheng had not expected this either. Su Xing's fighting style was too clever; after failing in a direct confrontation, he decisively changed tactics.

And neither his first nor second Spirit Skill could effectively strike Su Xing, unless he used his third Spirit Skill, Thunder Dragon's Fury—a wide-area Lightning bombardment!

But he had already said that he would not use his third Spirit Skill.

What he did not know was that Su Xing had not been fighting at full strength all along!

"Alright, call it a draw between you two. If you keep fighting, you'll remain deadlocked!"

In the end, Qin Ming stepped forward and declared the challenge over.

"So, does that mean I passed the challenge?"

Su Xing asked directly. Whether he had defeated Yu Tianheng head-on was unimportant; what mattered was joining the Martial Soul Team.

"Of course!"

Qin Ming nodded. Although Su Xing had no Spirit Rings, his strength was formidable. There was no reason for the team to reject him.

And so, Su Xing successfully joined the First Team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Martial Soul Team.

The one Su Xing replaced was Osler.

Osler was an Agility Attack System Spirit Master, and Su Xing counted as one too. Since Su Xing was stronger than Osler, he naturally replaced him!

I've got some things to deal with these next two days, so I can only guarantee that updates won't stop.
