Innate Full Soul Power! The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Shall Rise!

Tang Wei and Ning Zhenyuan beside Yu Yuanzhen abruptly changed expression as well, all traces of their earlier calmness and spectator mentality gone.

"This..."

Yu Yuanzhen's mouth hung slightly open, yet he could not utter a single word for a long while.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members behind him all wore blank expressions, like clay statues and wooden carvings.

Others might not recognize it, but how could members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan fail to recognize...

The Martial Soul before them!

This was clearly...

The Golden Holy Dragon!

The terrifying Martial Soul of that ancestor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!!

No!

Its might was even greater than the Golden Holy Dragon their ancestor had awakened, as recorded in the clan archives!

Coiling around its body was not only sacred light power, but also incomparably tyrannical flames!

That crimson wave of heat made the surrounding Soul Power boil and burn. This was an anomaly the ancestor's Golden Holy Dragon had never possessed!

Yu Xiaoheng... had actually surpassed his predecessors!?

Everyone's gaze froze upon the figure in midair, their minds seized by that form woven from holiness and tyranny.

Yet amid that absolute dead silence, a trembling voice, distorted nearly beyond recognition, suddenly exploded.

"Ten... Level Ten!"

The elder presiding over the awakening ceremony clutched the Crystal Ball, which was radiating brilliantly, in both hands, his voice shaking.

He cried out hoarsely:

"Yu Xiaoheng, Innate Spirit Power Level Ten!!"

As his words fell.

The entire venue first sank into an eerie silence.

As though time itself had frozen.

Until the first gaze fell upon the awakening Crystal Ball.

Then, in the next instant.

Boom—!

The uproar erupted like a volcano, instantly smashing through the dam of reason. The waves of sound nearly blew off the Martial Arts Arena's roof.

"Innate Full Soul Power?! Did I hear that right?!"

"It's actually real?? The awakening ball's light has reached its limit?!"

"A Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul, and Innate Full Soul Power?!"

"A monster! He's simply a monster!"

At the side of the VIP Seats, several elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could no longer hold themselves back. Their aged faces flushed red as they excitedly grabbed one another's arms, their knuckles turning white.

"Did you see that?! Did you see that?!"

"Our clan... our clan is about to produce a True Dragon!"

One elder choked up, tears already glimmering in his cloudy old eyes.

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

After standing stunned for a moment atop the high platform, Yu Yuanzhen burst into earth-shaking laughter.

With his head thrown back, his booming laughter made the air hum. None of his usual dignity or composure as clan leader remained.

"Heaven blesses my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Xiao Heng truly possesses heaven-defying talent, and Erlong has made him even stronger!"

"The clan shall prosper! The clan shall prosper!"

His eyes held only his eldest son standing beneath the Golden Holy Dragon's radiance. As for his second son, Yu Xiaogang, whose face was pale in the corner?

How could he spare him a thought now?

Qian Xunji's face darkened until it seemed as though water could drip from it.

Tang Wei and Ning Zhenyuan had already risen from their seats, their expressions grave.

They had just been about to say something.

But before they could speak, wave after wave of cheers rose from beneath the Martial Arts Platform.

"Young Master Xiao Heng, blessed with peerless talent!"

"Blue Lightning's proud dragon, bring glory to the clan!"

At first, only a few young disciples shouted sporadically.

But in an instant, the cries became a flood, and every disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan raised their arms and shouted in unison.

The elder overseeing the awakening ceremony cast aside all rules at this moment, joining the cheers at the top of his lungs.

Then came the Sect Elders!

The elders who were usually stern and reserved now had red-rimmed eyes. They used their Soul Power, their voices gathering into wave after wave of sound that surged into the sky.

Innate Full Soul Power!

A Golden Holy Dragon evolved to its ultimate form!

And a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with perfect compatibility!

Together, these three had already exceeded the limits of their imagination!

Their minds were blank. They simply could not imagine what kind of future Yu Xiaoheng would have!

Whether they had once criticized Yu Xiaoheng for neglecting his proper duties or were elders who had been disappointed in him, every one of them screamed hysterically.

Until their voices became hoarse.

Until their breath ran dry!

Their eyes were filled with fervor!!

"Young Master Xiao Heng, blessed with peerless talent!"

"Blue Lightning's proud dragon, bring glory to the clan!"

The cries shook the mountains and seas!

Their voices thundered across the land!

The entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan residence trembled violently beneath those unified, fervent shouts!

Amid the rolling waves of sound, countless disciples instinctively activated their Soul Power.

Fine blue arcs of lightning escaped from their bodies.

Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, they all converged upon the Golden Holy Dragon at the center of the Martial Arts Platform!

Hum—!

Outside that enormous Dragon Body, a brilliant blue lightning barrier instantly formed, making the already sacred and majestic Dragon Body appear like a god descending into the world!

And within this atmosphere of extreme fervor.

A crisp, childish voice, unable to conceal its excitement and delight, suddenly rang out from the VIP Seats.

"Brother Xiaoheng is amazing!"

Bibi Dong's large eyes shone brilliantly, her little face flushed red with excitement.

That cry was like a basin of cold water dumped over Qian Xunji's head.

His already grim face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot.

"Dong'er!"

He was about to flare up, but the words reached his lips before he swallowed them back down.

On second thought.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with Bibi Dong's words...

Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen and the others beside him were still trying to restrain him. If he acted again, he would only lose more face.

Yet Qian Xunji felt even gloomier inside.

Even he had to admit that Yu Xiaoheng's Martial Soul had already transcended the mortal realm.

That five-clawed dragon body, that sacred aura, had already surpassed the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the world's strongest offensive Martial Soul.

Even...

Qian Xunji's pupils contracted slightly.

This Golden Holy Dragon was not merely an ultimate evolution in form; it could also wield that tyrannical fiery dragon power.

At least in its Spirit Fusion form.

Such an existence could likely only be matched by Spirit Hall's Six-winged Angel.

No!

A voice roared wildly within his heart.

This dragon... was stronger than the Angel Martial Soul!

Before so many eyes, he truly could not find any reason to rebuke a disciple who had spoken the truth.

Not to mention Tang Wei, Ning Zhenyuan, and the others beside him were still trying to smooth things over.

Qian Xunji's chest heaved violently before he finally forced down the anger in his heart.

He merely stared fixedly at Yu Xiaoheng on the high platform, a sinister killing intent flashing through his eyes.

"Teacher... didn't get angry?"

Seeing this, Bibi Dong became even happier, unable to hide the delight on her face.

She looked once more toward that figure surrounded by countless people, her eyes sparkling.

Bibi Dong knew she was a useless child. At Spirit Hall, the other children her age all despised her for being foolish and unable to play anything.

She only knew how to cultivate and read people's expressions.

So...

Bibi Dong knew that Innate Full Soul Power alone was not enough to render her proud teacher speechless.

This was also the first time she had seen her teacher suffer a setback before others.

And the one who had given her teacher this humiliation was... Brother Xiaoheng.

The person who had truly said he would take her away from Spirit Hall.

This scene was deeply branded into her mind.

Amid the lightning filling the sky, a golden giant dragon held fiery-red feathers, like a god!

A warm current quietly flowed through Bibi Dong's heart.

How wonderful.

Because...

Even if she would be punished upon returning to Spirit Hall...

Even if her teacher would be angry, it no longer mattered.

Qian Xunji walked over to Bibi Dong with a dark expression and glared at her.

But in the next second.

Qian Xunji's expression became even uglier.

Bibi Dong did not show the frightened expression he had expected.

Before everyone's eyes, Qian Xunji felt a tightness in his chest, yet he could not vent it. He could only glare at Bibi Dong with even greater resentment.

You'll suffer when we get back.

Ungrateful disciple!

He then glanced once more at Yu Xiaoheng in the Martial Arts Arena.

Crack! Qian Xunji crushed the jade ring on his finger.

Beside them.

The little girl merely leaned over the railing, looking ahead.

She thought to herself.

Brother Xiaoheng said he would come save me.

Dong'er will keep waiting for you.

Until...

You come.

Because Brother Xiaoheng will come, Dong'er isn't afraid.
