However, Yu Xiaotian still did not dodge, instead revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth.

"Sanpao, dinner time."

"Luo!"

Three-Eyed Demon suddenly opened its massive maw!

First Soul SkillDevour Heaven Eat Earth!

The moment that terrifying Lightning Breath touched the edge of Three-Eyed Demon's mouth, it vanished as if a clay ox had entered the sea!

Gulp!

Three-Eyed Demon had actually swallowed the beam of lightning, which was powerful enough to pulverize solid rock, in a single bite!

Directly refined!

"This..." Lei Bufan was dumbfounded. How the hell was he supposed to fight this?

"Full now, time for some exercise."

A sharp glint flashed in Yu Xiaotian's eyes.

"Devour Heaven Eat Earth: Dragon Draws Water!"

A terrifying suction force erupted suddenly, locking directly onto Lei Bufan!

Lei Bufan discovered with horror that his body was flying toward Yu Xiaotian, completely beyond his control.

He tried to use his movement techniques to dodge, but under the suppression emanating from the Golden Sacred Dragon, he couldn't escape at all!

"Get down there!"

The moment Lei Bufan was pulled in front of him, Yu Xiaotian struck out with what looked like a light, effortless palm.

Bang!

Lei Bufan was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, soaring straight out of the arena and crashing heavily outside the ring!

The battle ended.

An eighteen-level Battle Soul Master had achieved a complete victory over a thirty-five-level Battle Soul Elder!

The entire arena fell into a deathly silence for a full three seconds.

No one could believe what had just happened before their eyes.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

As an old fox, Dean Lei Tian was the first to react.

He stood up instantly, clapping his hands vigorously with a face full of sycophantic smiles!

"Brilliant! Simply brilliant! The Young Master is truly a god descended to earth! Such talent is unprecedented and will never be surpassed!"

The instructors leading the teams also came to their senses and began to butter him up frantically.

The exaggerated flattery was so intense that even Yu Yuanzhen felt a bit embarrassed, thinking to himself: Too much, that's too much. Tone it down a little.

Black World.

Shrek Academy.

Seeing the scene where Three-Eyed Demon swallowed the lightning and used it to create a reverse suction force on Lei Bufan, Tang San was so shocked that he bolted upright.

"He performed a secondary mutation on his Soul Skill?"

Tang San muttered to himself in disbelief:

"It's not just swallowing; he converted the negative pressure generated by the consumption into a terrifying suction force, and it even contains a hint of gravity control!"

This immediately reminded Tang San of Vice Dean Zhao Wuji's fifth soul skill, Gravity Squeeze.

That skill could also force a person's body to fly uncontrollably toward the caster.

But that was Zhao Wuji's fifth soul skill!

Yu Xiaotian had achieved this without occupying any new soul ring slots.

He had accomplished it solely through the deep development of his first soul skill!

"Is this what it means to have an ultimate understanding of one's Martial Soul..."

Dai Mubai was completely convinced at this moment.

His eyes were filled with shock.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned, his mind a total blank.

He stared fixedly at the screen, a stormy sea raging in his heart.

Clearly, his third soul ring was also a Devouring Dragon, so why was the gap between them so vast?

"How can he play around with his soul skill like this? While mine can only be used to eat?"

This was an unprecedented pain, accompanied by self-doubt.

If the version of himself from back then had been able to think like Yu Xiaotian.

If he could have developed his Soul Skills to this extent, would his life have been completely different?

Would he have been able to make rapid progress as well?

Liu Erlong keenly sensed Yu Xiaogang's pain.

She encouraged him:

"Xiaogang, since Yu Xiaotian can do it, you are the Master. I believe that you can definitely do it too!"

Yu Xiaogang's entire body shuddered.

He slowly raised his head, and a spark of life reignited within his deadened eyes.

"Yes... if he, Yu Xiaotian, can do it, why can't I?"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath.

He felt that he could no longer continue to wallow in self-abandonment like this.

To break through the limitations of a trash Martial Soul.

He first had to break the shackles within his own heart.

Isn't it just researching Soul Skill Variations?

This was, after all, the field he excelled at most as the Master!

White World.

Thunder Academy.

Watching the footage of himself being slapped away.

Lei Bufan, who had long since become the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Faced with the strange and mocking gaze of his son, Lei Dong.

He acted unusually calm, even looking somewhat proud.

He sipped his tea with an air of composure and said:

"You brat, what do you know?"

"Looking across the entire continent today, how many people are even qualified to exchange a few moves with Lord Yu Xiaotian?"

"And your old man here is the first to enjoy such a distinguished honor!"

Lei Dong listened to his father's unique train of thought, unable to help but feel speechless.

To think he could forcefully salvage his pride from that angle?

But thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem entirely wrong.

On the other side.

The old Dean, Lei Tian, watched the close-up shot on the Sky Screen of himself clapping, cheering, and looking utterly sycophantic. His old face flushed bright red, and he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.

"This damn Sky Screen! Why does it only give me these kinds of close-ups? What the hell is it playing at?"

Although he was righteous about his desire to become stronger, could it at least give him fewer shots?

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Bibi Dong's eyes shimmered with a glow of admiration. She asked softly:

"Xiaotian, was that Dragon Water Suction move your trump card back then?"

Yu Xiaotian smiled and shook his head. He held up a finger and wagged it:

"That was just one of them. The ability to Devour Heaven and Earth alone can be played in countless ways."

"For example, reverse propulsion, compressed vortex explosions..."

He paused, then said with a hint of emotion:

"I used to think that everyone's development of Soul Skills was too rigid and simple."

"Even God-tier skills were just used straight on, which is a complete waste of talent."

Hearing this humble-brag from his older brother, Yu Xiaogang, who was standing to the side, kept a smile on his face, but couldn't help but complain wildly in his heart:

Big brother, it's only because you're such a peerless genius that you can achieve this level of innovation, okay?

"Do you think we don't want to develop it? It's truly impossible!"

The team instructor hurried over to check on Lei Bufan's injuries.

Lei Bufan only had superficial wounds and soul power exhaustion; Yu Xiaotian had been very measured with his strikes.

This made them hold this eight-year-old Young Master in even greater awe.

At this moment, on the arena stage.

The students of the Thunder Team surrounded Yu Xiaotian, their expressions complex—unwilling, angry, yet fearful.

Yu Xiaotian stood with his hands behind his back, scanning the crowd, and said indifferently, "Your captain is injured and needs to rest for the time being. From today on, until the Spirit Master Tournament, I will be your team leader."

"Does anyone object?"

The students clenched their fists, their eyes filled with anger and disbelief.

They could not believe that Lei Bufan, the god of war in their hearts, could lose like this, nor were they willing to accept the leadership of an eight-year-old child.

"Roar--!"

Seemingly sensing the hostility from the crowd, Three-Eyed Demon let out another low growl.

The powerful aura of the Golden Sacred Dragon erupted once more, pressing down on everyone's shoulders like a great mountain, making it difficult for them to breathe and causing their legs to go weak!

In the face of such absolute strength and bloodline suppression, all their objections were stifled.

"We will follow the arrangements." The group had no choice but to lower their heads and reluctantly agree.

The team instructors watching from afar were dumbfounded by this scene.

This wasn't just winning a match; he had completely broken the spirit of this group of unruly geniuses!

The students understood the cruelty of strength better than their teachers; having lost to Lei Bufan, they had nothing to say.

Heaven Dou City

At the very same time Yu Xiaotian defeated Lei Bufan.

Outside of the several Elemental Academies, there was another institution with intricate ties to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon ClanBlue Tyrant Academy.

At this moment, on the soul fighting arena of Blue Tyrant Academy, a one-sided match was also taking place.

A young girl dressed in fiery red combat attire stood proudly.

She possessed a figure that completely defied her age.

Her entire body was wreathed in incredibly violent, crimson flames!

It was none other than a young Liu Erlong!
