The Moment of Annihilation!

"F-Father!!"

Yu Xiaogang was utterly shocked. He had never expected to encounter his father in such a small place.

He did not dare go out and acknowledge him. With his talent, he simply was not worthy.

Yu Yuanzhen had already closed in before Raiden Shogun.

His savage dragon claws seemed intent on tearing the delicate, petite Raiden Shogun to pieces.

"You are that child's protector, aren't you? But now, he belongs to this old man! I will take him as my disciple and bring him back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! This is that child's fortune. I advise you not to be ungrateful!"

Yu Yuanzhen was straightforward and overbearing by nature. He never hid what he wanted to do.

Clang, clang...

Raiden Shogun swung the weapon in her hand, effortlessly blocking Yu Yuanzhen's claw strikes.

"What a sturdy weapon! Little girl, are you not going to summon your martial soul?"

Yu Yuanzhen stood facing Raiden Shogun, staring at the Naginata of Grass-Cutting Light in her hands in surprise.

Though he had not used his full strength just now, the attack had still been quite powerful. Yet Raiden Shogun had blocked it with nothing but her weapon.

What kind of treasure was this?!

While the people above were locked in a thunderous standoff, those below could no longer sit still.

Tang San in particular was practically bursting with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Why was Starry Sky's luck so absurdly good? A Titled Douluo had actually come personally to take Starry Sky as his disciple?

This was a Titled Douluo! There were only a handful of Titled Douluo known to the public now.

Why did he not have such luck?!

"I see... Then Sister Raiden will be fine."

Hearing that Yu Yuanzhen had come to take a disciple, Zhu Zhuqing heaved a huge sigh of relief.

She was also sincerely happy for Starry Sky.

If Starry Sky had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him in the future, he would no longer have to fear being bullied.

"If you wish to take Kong away, you... are Eternity's enemy!"

Raiden Shogun slowly approached Yu Yuanzhen. Her voice was majestic, her presence pressing down like the heavens.

As she spread her arms, powerful violet lightning erupted from her body, condensing into a violet halo behind her.

It looked like a Soul Ring, yet the violet Soul Ring bore even more exquisite patterns.

Raiden Shogun brought her hands together before her chest. An Eye of Thunder formed in her palms as lightning erupted around her!

It surged skyward.

It was as though a pool of lightning had descended from the heavens, pouring over Raiden Shogun, spreading in every direction in a raging flood.

The lightning was blinding, its might boundless.

Everyone felt an immense pressure. The children were so frightened that they trembled and collapsed onto the ground.

Tang San's heart pounded wildly, his thoughts churning like stormy seas!

That presence was not inferior to Yu Yuanzhen, a Titled Douluo, in the slightest.

No...

Weren't these three women Starry Sky's martial souls?

Why would martial souls possess such power?!

Yu Yuanzhen fell from the sky. Raiden Shogun's lightning was too brilliant for him to look at directly. The lightning within him, usually as ferocious as an enraged tigress, now curled up meekly inside his body like a docile kitten.

"This kind of lightning... You... you have it too!"

Though Raiden Shogun only had a violet Soul Ring, the sheer power she displayed left Yu Yuanzhen without the slightest thought of resisting.

Raiden Shogun raised her head and thrust out her chest. A hilt emerged from within her chest.

Raiden Shogun swiftly drew Musou Isshin from her chest.

"The moment of annihilation!"

With one slash, Raiden Shogun struck the place where Yu Yuanzhen had just been.

Lightning took the form of a blade, swift as a flash. A bottomless black abyss opened in the skies above Notting Academy.

The sky was instantly replaced, plunging Notting Academy into night.

Within the darkness, only the glow of lightning flickered, shaking everyone to their core.

"Hiss... Who is this woman?! Why does she possess such power?!"

Yu Yuanzhen had lost all ability to resist.

She had created such an enormous spatial rift with one slash. Even Sword Douluo, wielder of the Seven Kill Sword and the person with the strongest attack power, did not possess such ability.

Then he looked at the blade in Raiden Shogun's hand as she slowly descended.

Wherever its edge passed, space split open in black cracks as easily as a knife cutting through tofu.

"You are... Eternity's enemy!"

Raiden Shogun swung Musou Isshin, pointing its blade at the disheveled Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen's entire body went limp. With a thud, he hurriedly fell to his knees and shouted hoarsely:

"Eternity... Lord Eternity! I... I am not! I never intended to be your enemy... Please do not kill me."

Hearing Raiden Shogun call him "Eternity's enemy," Yu Yuanzhen thought she was calling herself Eternity.

He felt wronged as well. He had merely wanted to test Raiden Shogun's strength.

Who knew she would try to cut him down with a single strike?

Had he not fallen from the sky because the lightning within his body had gone out of control...

His body would likely have already been sliced apart.

"General, he bears no ill intent. Withdraw your divine might," Raiden Mei said, stepping forward to stop her. She did not wish to see anyone die.

Seeing that Raiden Mei seemed ready to summon Raiden Ei with desserts again, Raiden Shogun quickly snorted and dispersed the lightning's might.

As the lightning faded, the spatial rift slowly vanished.

After everyone at the academy climbed back to their feet, Raiden Shogun was nowhere to be seen. They only saw Yu Yuanzhen sitting on a bench in the courtyard, looking frail and ancient.

Raiden Shogun's power had been too overwhelming, and no one had seen exactly what had happened.

"Where is Sister Raiden?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked worried. She feared that such a beautiful older sister had been hurt by Yu Yuanzhen.

"The General will be fine. Let's go see what happened."

Starry Sky was rather curious about Yu Yuanzhen, this Titled Douluo.

Soon after, quite a few people stopped attending class and ran downstairs.

That made sense. Who could still focus on class in this situation?

"Sister Mei!" Starry Sky threw himself directly into Raiden Mei's embrace.

"Your Excellency."

Zhu Zhuqing gave Yu Yuanzhen a slight bow, then asked in a trembling voice:

"Sister Raiden... You did not hurt her, did you?"

Yu Yuanzhen's body shuddered, his eyes filled with fear.

He had nearly died at Raiden Shogun's hands, and she was asking whether he had hurt Raiden Shogun?

Touching even a single hair on Raiden Shogun's head would have been difficult for him.

Yu Yuanzhen no longer carried the bearing of a Titled Douluo. After coughing violently, he did not answer Zhu Zhuqing's question. Instead, he clasped his fists toward Raiden Mei and said gratefully:

"Thank you, miss, for saving my life. This old man is inferior in skill and has no qualifications to teach this child."

With that, he turned to leave.

Raiden Mei suddenly called out to him:

"Uncle, you came here for little Kong as well, and your intentions were good. You are our guest. How could we let a guest leave empty-handed?"

"Since you are already here, why not eat before you go?"

Mei was so gentle.

Yu Yuanzhen felt as though a mother's hand had gently soothed him, healing his heart.

He was nearly a hundred years old, yet he suddenly felt the urge to cry his heart out.

As if possessed, he nodded. "Then... then I shall thank you in advance."

Besides, staying meant there was still an opportunity.

Perhaps he could even use this terrifying lightning to achieve a breakthrough!
