A Challenge Letter

After the three finished breakfast, Bi Zihan and Hu Liena left the courtyard while Ghostly Charm silently followed them in the shadows, protecting their safety.

With Ghostly Charm secretly guiding them, Bi Zihan and Hu Liena walked for roughly three hours before arriving at the gates of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Disciples dressed in clan uniforms patrolled the area around the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while several more stood guard at the entrance.

The moment the two entered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's grounds, they were stopped by patrolling disciples. The disciple from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sized Bi Zihan and Hu Liena up and down before asking, "This is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Unrelated persons are not permitted beyond this point. If you have no business here, please leave."

Bi Zihan took out a Challenge Letter he had prepared beforehand and handed it to the disciple in front of him. Smiling faintly, he said, "We came to compete with members of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. This is my Challenge Letter. Could you deliver it for me?"

At his words, the disciple's gaze turned unfriendly, though he still accepted the Challenge Letter from Bi Zihan and looked him over.

"Are you sure you want to challenge our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Judging by your ages, you seem to have only just awakened your martial souls. Do you even have soul rings? Don't end up running out of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with tears in your eyes." There was clear hostility in the disciple's voice.

After all, a Challenge Letter might sound like a friendly competition, but in truth, it was an attempt to disgrace the clan. As a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it would be strange if he were polite about such a matter.

"There's no need for you to worry about that. You only need to deliver the Challenge Letter. As for whether your clan will accept it, that doesn't seem to be your decision to make." Bi Zihan merely glanced at him, paying little attention to his words. He was just a gatekeeping disciple; there was no need to care.

"Heh, wait here. I'll deliver your Challenge Letter. I hope you won't be leaving our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in tears later."

As soon as the disciple finished speaking, he headed directly into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to deliver the Challenge Letter. Bi Zihan and Hu Liena quietly waited at the entrance.

Inside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the disciple took the Challenge Letter straight to the main hall and said, "Clan Chief, two children around five or six years old have brought a Challenge Letter to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. They say they wish to challenge our clan."

In the main hall sat a man dressed in blue. His black hair was neatly combed behind his back, and he appeared spirited and imposing.

This man was Yu Yuanzhen, the current Clan Chief of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and one of the top experts named on the Pope's Decree.

Yu Yuanzhen accepted the Challenge Letter. After opening it and taking a glance, he gave a light laugh and waved his hand dismissively. "Bring them in. Since they want to challenge us, let them do so. Also, summon the ten most talented disciples in the clan under the age of twelve. Have them handle this challenge."

"Yes, Clan Chief!" The disciple responded before immediately leaving.

Outside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Bi Zihan and Hu Liena chatted idly. Although they were about the same age, they truly did not have many topics in common.

After a long while, the gates of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan opened again. The disciple emerged and said to Bi Zihan and Hu Liena, "You two, come in with me. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is ready to face your challenge at any time."

"So you're ready. I hope your clan has some interesting opponents. Don't make this too boring for me." Though Bi Zihan spoke casually, vigilance and anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Interest also appeared in Hu Liena's eyes. Even now, she had yet to figure out what level Bi Zihan's Soul Power was. This was the perfect opportunity to use the battle to see just how strong his Soul Power and combat ability truly were.

The two entered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, their gazes continuously sweeping over their surroundings. The clan's environment was exceptionally beautiful, and its main hall was especially grand.

Ten disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood in front of the hall. Besides Yu Yuanzhen, there were three other people within the great hall.

Behind Yu Yuanzhen stood a plainly dressed middle-aged man with a weathered face. Seated below and to Yu Yuanzhen's left was a middle-aged woman in a magnificent gown, with a delicate-looking little girl beside her.

"Clan Chief Yu, only two children are challenging your clan this time. With Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng, the outstanding talents of your clan, participating, there shouldn't be any suspense in this match." The woman looked at Yu Tianheng outside, a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.

"It is merely a contest between children. There is no need to concern ourselves with victory or defeat. We only need to watch the excitement. Let them decide all the arrangements themselves. And Xiaogang, you have already obtained the information you needed. After watching this children's match, leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." Yu Yuanzhen leaned back in his chair, his voice calm.

"Being able to watch Tianheng and the others fight before I leave is already quite a good thing." Yu Xiaogang's voice carried a faint trace of bitterness.

"Then leave after watching this battle. In any case, you were expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan long ago." Yu Yuanzhen lightly waved his hand, his gaze falling on Bi Zihan and Hu Liena in front of the hall.

Bi Zihan withdrew his gaze and said, "If the person competing with me is a one-ring Soul Master, then there's no need for them to step forward. I have no interest in fighting them."

"You may be young, but you certainly have a big mouth. From the looks of you, you've only just awakened your martial soul, yet you dare to be so arrogant. And you're acting arrogant within our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Who gave you such courage?" A childish voice sounded from in front of them.

Bi Zihan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a boy about his age walking out from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The boy was somewhat handsome, and his eyes carried a faint air of pride.

When he stepped out, admiration and envy appeared in the eyes of the others. Clearly, among these ten young disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, this boy was their leader.
