[Thunder Academy Soul Fighting Arena]
[Facing Lei Bufan's Lightning Eagle]
[There was no fear on Yu Xiaotian's face. Instead, a faintly amused smile appeared.]
["So this is the pressure of level thirty-five? Interesting, but not enough."]
[Soul Power surged beneath Yu Xiaotian's feet.]
["Come out and get some air, Sanpao!"]
[Accompanied by a majestic dragon roar, golden light erupted in an instant!]
[It was no longer the creature once mocked for looking like a pig, but Three-Eyed Demon, who had evolved into a Golden Young Dragon!]
[Its entire body was covered in dazzling golden scales, and two imposing horns rose from its forehead. Though it was still small, the aura of a superior being originating from deep within its bloodline swept across the entire arena!]
[That was pure dragon bloodline!]
[The moment Three-Eyed Demon was summoned, the terrifying pressure of the Golden Sacred Dragon crashed down upon everyone's hearts like a tangible wave!]
[Even though Yu Xiaotian possessed only level eighteen Soul Power, this aura actually suppressed Lei Bufan's Lightning Eagle in return!]
[The Lightning Eagle was trembling slightly!]
[The entire arena fell silent.]
[President Lei Tian, the Teacher leading the team, and all the Thunder Academy students stared with their mouths agape in shock!]
["How is that possible?!"]
["It isn't the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?!"]
["That golden dragon-type martial soul... its aura alone is actually more domineering than the clan's inherited martial soul?!"]
[In the VIP seats.]
[Seeing everyone's awestruck expressions, Yu Yuanzhen could not help straightening his back, his eyes filled with pride!]
["That's my blood!"]
[Meanwhile, Yu Luomian stared at the dazzling golden light, jealousy flooding his heart and twisting his features.]
["Damn it... How could this martial soul be this powerful? Could it really be that Heaven favors the main branch?"]
[On the stage.]
[Lei Bufan was also greatly shocked. He could sense the fear radiating from his martial soul.]
[He took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself, his expression solemn.]
["So this is your trump card? Using a powerful top-tier martial soul to suppress me through bloodline pressure... impressive indeed."]
[Yu Xiaotian offered no explanation. He merely crooked a finger at Lei Bufan.]
["Come on. Let me see what you can do."]
[Lei Bufan's gaze sharpened. He did not bother with further probing.]
["First soul skill—Lightning Eagle Claw!"]
[His body shot forward, his right hand transforming into a massive lightning eagle claw that tore through the air with an explosive crack as it lunged straight for Yu Xiaotian's throat!]
[This strike was as fast as lightning and carried tremendous force!]
[Yet something happened that neither he nor anyone else had expected—]
[Yu Xiaotian neither dodged nor evaded!]
[He merely raised one hand casually, a faint golden glow spreading across his skin.]
["Bang—!"]
[The sound of metal striking stone rang out!]
[Yu Xiaotian had actually caught the attack barehanded with a single hand!]
[The violent lightning exploded in his palm, yet it did not even scrape his skin!]
["What?!"]
[Lei Bufan felt as though his claw had struck an iron block, the impact numbing his entire arm!]
[He was utterly dumbfounded. "The hell? This is level eighteen?! What kind of kid has a body this tough?!"]
[Just then, light flashed beneath Yu Xiaotian's feet.]
[A deep purple Soul Ring slowly rose.]
["A thousand-year soul ring?!"]
[At that moment, it felt as though all the air had been sucked out of the arena.]
[Every Teacher present, including the well-informed President Lei Tian, felt their minds buzz as they were completely stunned!]
[How could a first soul ring possibly be a thousand-year soul ring?!]
[This completely defied the ironclad laws of the Spirit Master World and exceeded everything they had ever known!]
["A monster. He's a complete monster!"]
[Lei Bufan's mentality nearly collapsed as he stared at the Purple Soul Ring.]
[Was this the foundation of the Upper Three Sects?]
[If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was already like this, wouldn't the Clear Sky Sect be even stronger?]
["No wonder you could block my first soul skill! Your first ring is a thousand-year ring!"]
[But he was the Captain, after all. His battle instincts remained.]
["Second Soul Skill—Lightning Instant Step Flash!"]
[Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!]
[Lei Bufan's figure instantly split into several afterimages, flickering at high speed in an attempt to confuse his opponent and seek out an opening.]
[However, it was useless.]
[Yu Xiaotian's gaze was calm as still water, as though he were watching a fly buzzing around.]
[The spectators could not help growing anxious, especially the Thunder Academy students, whose palms were drenched in sweat.]
["What's going on? The Captain used two Soul Skills in a row and still couldn't take down that kid?"]
["Don't panic! He still has his third soul skill! The captain's third soul skill is his trump card!"]
[Sure enough, Lei Bufan had been pushed to the brink as well.]
["If technique won't work, then I'll use absolute power!"]
[The third Soul Ring on his body suddenly lit up! It came from a Thousand-Year Sub-Dragon Hawk with Sub-Dragon Bloodline!]
["Third soul skill—Lightning Breath!"]
[Boom!]
[A thick pillar of lightning, accompanied by a furious roar, descended from the sky and blasted straight toward Yu Xiaotian!]
[The power of this attack was enough to severely wound an ordinary level-forty Soul Ancestor!]
[President Lei Tian's expression changed drastically. Soul Power surged through him as he prepared to intervene and save Yu Xiaotian at any moment.]
["Not good! That attack has no restraint! The Young Master is in danger!"]
Black World.
Shrek Academy
Dai Mubai stared intently at Lei Bufan's thunderous attack on the Sky Screen and could not help shaking his head.
In his view,
the third soul skill of a level-thirty-five Soul Elder
was absolutely not something an eighteen-level Soul Master could withstand with nothing but his physical body.
"It's over!"
Dai Mubai said in a deep voice:
"Even if Yu Xiaotian's physical strength has improved tremendously over the past three months, and Three-Eyed Demon has evolved, the gap in total Soul Power is still there."
"In a head-on clash, he has no chance."
However, Tang San beside him did not agree.
At that moment, his Purple Demon Eye had been pushed to its limit.
He seemed to have noticed something.
"No, Mubai, look at his eyes."
Tang San analyzed calmly:
"He isn't panicking in the slightest."
"Yu Xiaotian definitely still has other methods he hasn't used. He's luring his enemy into a trap."
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan
Yu Xiaogang watched the lightning filling the sky.
He turned to Liu Erlong.
There was a trace of certainty in his tone:
"Er Long, even if you have hope for him."
"But facing a Thousand-Year Soul Skill of this intensity, do you really think he can still win with the strength of just one ring?"
Liu Erlong opened her mouth, but reason told her it would be difficult.
After all, that was a killing move fueled by a Soul Elder's abundant Soul Power, its might far beyond ordinary limits.
Yet for some reason,
as she watched that small, confident figure on the Sky Screen,
an inexplicable intuition welled up in her heart.
"I think... he'll win."
Liu Erlong's voice was soft, yet unwavering.
Yu Xiaogang thought she was merely forcing herself to remain hopeful and was about to say something else.
However, in the next moment,
the image on the Sky Screen suddenly changed.
He froze where he stood.
The smile at the corner of his lips stiffened and froze.
