"Crack—crack!"

Tiger-striped waves of soul power tore through the air, setting off thunderous sonic booms. The White Tiger Soul Elder was flung backward, hurled away by a massive hand like an iron clamp.

"After more than twenty thousand years, is the White Tiger Family still relying on the same old three tricks? Twenty-first on the Young Genius Ranking—you're not much."

The Holy Body Martial Soul erupted, and Feng Zaixing's body grew to two meters tall. He rolled his wrist and shook his head, his words carrying undisguised disappointment.

Wu Yang had almost no methods beyond his three major soul skills, and his hand-to-hand combat was riddled with flaws.

"Ha Luosa, don't get too cocky. Just because I lost to you doesn't mean everyone in the Wu Family lost to you."

Blood seeped from Wu Yang's palms, and his joints crackled as though they had been forcibly shattered by overwhelming strength during their clash.

Yet his words remained resolute. His evil eyes stayed fixed on his opponent, the youth who had crushed him in the field he was proudest of.

"The others in the Wu Family? You mean her?"

Feng Zaixing looked toward the Hell Spirit Cat Soul Grandmaster fighting Na'er and Xu Yucheng and said dismissively:

"Her cultivation speed is pretty fast, but her Martial Soul isn't good enough. She's like a little kitten."

"My junior sister lacks combat experience. Otherwise, your cousin would have fallen long ago."

Wu Yang's younger cousin was exceptionally beautiful, with almond-shaped eyes and peach-blossom cheeks. Her movements were nimble and graceful. She was presumably the future Hell Wu Sido, outstanding among those of her age.

However, the Hell Spirit Cat and White Tiger had long since fallen behind the times in terms of strength.

"Ao—ao—!"

The Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger, which had been watching from the sidelines, raised its head and let out a long howl, displaying its approval of Feng Zaixing and disdain for the Wu Family.

A Martial Soul of this caliber dared call itself the White Tiger? What class was that? It shared the same name as the predecessor of their race!

The tiger's roar shook the air, and wind swept through the forest. Wu Yang's White Tiger Martial Soul instantly collapsed. Wu Sido let out a startled cry and fell from the sky.

"Whoosh—!"

A streak of white light shot out, condensing into a sword in midair and swiftly catching the cat-eared girl, who had suffered the suppression of a higher-ranking Beast Clan.

"Bad guy, why is your Soul Spirit so terrifying?"

Dizzy and disoriented, the girl held her head in both hands. Her shimmering eyes lifted toward the youth, powerful as a god, as she softly asked him. Her little face was deathly pale.

This youth was very strange. He had defeated her cousin, and his Soul Spirit had roared her into falling. Yet it was also him who had formed that sword and stopped her from being smashed to death on the ground.

Embarrassingly, an Agile Attack Type Soul Master with a delicate body like hers could indeed fall to her death from high altitude if she was careless. Besides, her Martial Soul had been forcibly dispelled.

"As you can see, my Soul Spirit is the Tiger Clan King. Your Martial Souls aren't high enough in quality, so all you can do is fall."

Feng Zaixing stroked the fur of the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger. It was soft and warm, with an excellent feel.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was the boss of the Tiger Clan, while the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger had surpassed its predecessor. It possessed absolute superior-rank suppression over all tiger-type Soul Beasts and Soul Masters.

The Hell Spirit Cat was inferior to the White Tiger in quality, and their bloodlines were linked. It would only suffer even harsher suppression.

White light descended and enveloped Wu Yang, whose Martial Soul had collapsed. The Spirit Ascension Platform journey of this Young Genius Ranking's twenty-first-ranked genius ended here.

Wu Sido stared blankly at the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger in its large-cat form, unable to look away as she pursed her lips and asked:

"Can you tell me its name?"

"Ao Wu!" The Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger proudly raised its head. The golden character for "King" on its forehead gleamed, while its long tail swayed behind it.

As expected, this king's charm is invincible. One little roar, and a human genius nearly wants to kneel before me.

"No. It's a limited edition. The Spirit Pagoda discontinued it long ago."

Feng Zaixing casually said, "There may still be weaker members of its species. It depends on whether your family can afford the price, and whether you can handle it."

"So precious..."

Wu Sido spoke softly. The color gradually returned to her face, and it was hard to tell whether her furrowed brows meant she was calculating her allowance.

"Alright, I saved you because I didn't want to see a pile of meat paste. You can leave on your own now." Feng Zaixing waved his hand and said.

Wu Sido's face immediately fell. Blinking her eyes, she pitifully asked, "Bad guy, can you tell me why you were so ruthless?"

She had come with her older cousins to experience the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period. They had been killing Soul Beasts and chatting when three people charged straight at them and picked them apart.

Her older female cousin was ranked thirtieth on the Young Genius Ranking and possessed extremely fast movement techniques. Yet in a single exchange, she was punched in the abdomen, grabbed by the ankle, swung around like a weapon, and sent out of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Her cousin was a rare beauty, but despite his young age, he had not the slightest bit of tenderness toward women.

Her older male cousin had attacked in fury, fully displaying the power of his White Tiger Martial Soul. Then, in a true man's fight of fists meeting flesh, he fell gloomily after only three exchanges, both arms dislocated.

Too vicious. Too violent. He seemed to be redefining the strength and combat methods of a Power Attack-type Soul Master.

"Your family has inherited the Hell White Tiger for generations. Your cousins have one White Tiger and one Spirit Cat. Anyone who doesn't strike hard against you would be an idiot."

Wearing an expression that said Do you take me for an idiot?, Feng Zaixing curled his lip. "The Martial Soul Fusion Skill of two Three Rings Soul Elders can threaten a Soul King. I'm not stupid."

"And I'm not called bad guy. I'm Ha Luosa now. Aren't you insulting me?"

Was calling someone a bad guy enough to sum up the Underworld Emperor? How was that any different from saying he couldn't kill?

Wu Sido's little face froze. "...Ha Luosa, you're right."

Damn it, she wanted to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill too.

Na'er raised her delicate brows slightly. An imperceptible glimmer passed through her bright eyes as she waved goodbye with a sweet smile. "Big sister, you're so pretty and so amazing. Can we compete again sometime?"

Wu Sido forced a smile. "Sure. If there's another chance, we'll fight one-on-one."

She emphasized every word, clearly never wanting to see a bad guy like Feng Zaixing again.

Of course, kittens had dignity. That bad guy said her Martial Soul wasn't strong enough. She... she would definitely cultivate diligently when she returned and prove herself with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

To defend a kitten's dignity, she would not yield even one step!

Just as Wu Sido made her dignified departure, a standard electronic broadcast sounded from the sky.

"Attention, all geniuses who have entered the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period. Due to adjustments in related technology, the Spirit Pagoda will accelerate the spatial fusion process. The terrain will shrink by eighty percent."

"Oh?"

As the announcement echoed in his ears, Feng Zaixing raised his eyes to look around. The scenery beside him swiftly distorted and changed.

When his vision became clear again, the three of them had appeared on an open plain.

Moreover, there were many more people nearby.

Xu Yucheng instinctively moved closer to Feng Zaixing, his eyelids twitching nonstop. "There are one, two, three, four geniuses on the rankings here... Four in total. This is a little dangerous..."

"Isn't that perfect? Since the situation has changed, I won't hide anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Zaixing shook his broad shoulders. Blood and soul power intertwined into a battle bow, and his blazing aura immediately drew the attention of many people. He let out a clear, resounding howl.

"Today, Feng Zaixing challenges the heavens' chosen! Those who dare fight me, step forward! Those who dare not fight, withdraw on your own, lest you be accidentally wounded by my arrows!"

As his grand voice fell, the crowd—including four Young Genius Ranking geniuses—glanced at the soul ring beneath Feng Zaixing's feet, which was nearly transforming from purple to black. They released their Martial Souls in unison and closed in.

"We have experts everywhere here. It's not your turn, a mere Two Rings Soul Grandmaster, to lord over us!"

"This man is arrogant! Let's rush him together and surround them!"

More than twenty geniuses advanced in an arcing formation. The eighteenth-ranked Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Elder raised the corner of his mouth and charged toward Feng Zaixing with vigorous strides, his figure soaring through the air.

"I'll use Invincible Golden Body to create an opening for everyone! Watch my Waist Bow—ah!"

"Whoosh!"

The bowstring boomed like thunder. A Light Fire arrow invisible to the naked eye tore through the air, crossing dozens of meters in an instant and striking the Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Elder squarely in the chest. Blazing flames erupted, swiftly turning him into a human torch.

"My arrows ignore Invincible Golden Body and deal true damage. Those with weak bodies who don't defend themselves will be instantly killed."

Having casually dealt with the first opponent, Feng Zaixing's expression remained calm as he smilingly explained to the crowd.

As his words fell, the surrounding geniuses instantly changed color. Half of them began considering retreat.

"Sir, you misunderstand. We were merely passing by..."

"What are you waiting for? Run!"

More than ten people scattered like birds and beasts. Feng Zaixing was in no hurry. Three bowstrings rang out, and invisible arrows tore across the sky with the force of thunder and gale, taking down three Soul Grand Masters who had failed to escape.

His spreading spiritual power drew in a vast amount of Light Fire Element, condensing it into three arrows that each locked onto a Young Genius Ranking genius.

"Now, you're the ones surrounded." Feng Zaixing said with a light laugh.

The three geniuses exchanged glances, sharp light flashing through each of their eyes.

"We'll fight you to the death!"

The three activated Martial Soul Possession and charged out together. Tiger roars, dragon roars, and lion roars converged as they unleashed their methods and attacked the youth who held his carved bow drawn like a full moon.

"We'll fight too!"

Behind the three great geniuses, six Soul Elders displayed their own abilities, striking up a tragic song of eggs smashing against stone.

"Good! I'll give you the greatest respect!"

Feng Zaixing's bearing was utterly arrogant. He put away his bow and strode forward, walking to an unseen rhythm. When he drew near, the three-foot blue blade at his waist left its sheath. With one sword strike, he cleaved at the enemy before him, his heroic spirit vast and majestic.

"Today, Feng Zaixing challenges the heavens' chosen! Those who dare fight, I shall await you within the Spirit Ascension Platform!"

The long wind rustled, and green mountains rolled like waves. In Na'er and Xu Yucheng's eyes, Feng Zaixing's towering figure in azure robes stood clearly reflected as he faced the gathered enemies. The visible half of his profile brimmed with unyielding spirit.

One man overawed the heroes; slaughtering the rankings was but a casual matter.
