Word Spirit Enhancement, Dugu Yan Takes the Field, Yu Mingfei's Revenge

Below the Soul Fighting Platform, the Blue Tyrant Academy team members gathered in a cluster.

The towering Tailong grinned viciously at Dugu Yan.

"Why aren't you dodging anymore?

"I thought you'd have that pretty boy captain of yours fight for you."

Dugu Yan's face turned cold.

"If you want to fight, then fight. Why so much nonsense?"

Tailong was in no hurry now.

He looked around and spotted the five Imperial Dou Team members hurrying over.

"What's the rush? The last match on the main Soul Fighting Platform just ended, and the intermission isn't over yet."

When Yu Tianheng arrived with a grim face, Tailong made another exaggerated expression and asked provocatively.

"Dugu Yan of Imperial Dou, I heard your Poison Arts were crippled, and it had nothing to do with Yu Tianheng. It was because of that useless Yu Mingfei?

"Is that true?"

During this period, the matter of Poison Douluo's Granddaughter suffering poison backlash had caused an uproar throughout Heaven Dou City.

After looking into it, interested parties quickly dug up information on both Yu Mingfei and Yu Tianheng.

One was Blue Tyrant Academy's low-profile Mutated Waste Martial Soul.

The other was the captain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's team.

The difference between them could not have been greater.

Yet both were from the Yu Family and had come from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

That left plenty of people waiting to watch the spectacle.

Tailong looked at Dugu Yan with open provocation.

Back at Blue Tyrant Academy, he had never liked Yu Mingfei.

In his eyes, a waste martial soul should have stayed a waste martial soul. Why insist on squeezing into Blue Tyrant Academy?

He was only dragging down the academy's standards for nothing.

Some time ago, after Liu Erlong returned to the academy with Yin Shu and Jiang Zhu, she had suddenly begun cracking down on the academy's bad atmosphere.

Tailong had suffered quite a bit because of it.

That made him hate Yu Mingfei even more.

Today, he had run into Dugu Yan at the Great Soul Arena, and she looked as though she had just recovered from a serious illness, with her strength diminished.

Tailong immediately could not resist provoking her.

Within the Blue Overlord Team, Jiang Zhu frowned at Tailong.

"Tailong! Haven't you been punished enough? If you don't want to fight, go back to the academy and train. Don't disgrace yourself out here."

The usually gentle Jiang Zhu had rarely lost her temper.

Upon hearing this, Tailong immediately glared at Jiang Zhu impatiently.

"Jiang Zhu, is there something wrong with your head?

"You saw how brutally Dugu Yan used to beat us.

"Now that her Poison Arts are crippled, shouldn't we get even?"

Jiang Zhu's breathing quickened as she clenched her fists.

The more the academy's atmosphere was cleaned up lately, the angrier she became.

She had never expected her seemingly kind classmates to be involved in so many filthy dealings behind the scenes.

"Tailong, is this what the dean and Teacher taught you?"

"What does it have to do with you? You're not the Captain!" Tailong cursed before continuing, "You're a healing soul master. Just heal obediently and stop meddling in so much."

After berating her to his heart's content, Tailong turned back to Dugu Yan.

"Since that pretty boy Yu Tianheng won't help you, why don't you just admit defeat? I don't want to fight a woman either."

Tailong sneered, raised his head, and looked down at the entire Imperial Dou Team.

"You!" Yu Feng flew into a rage and was about to charge out.

Yu Tianheng reached out and stopped him.

"Boss! You can tolerate this?"

Yu Feng stared at Yu Tianheng in disbelief.

Yu Tianheng's expression stiffened. He first glanced at Dugu Yan, then turned to his teammates.

"Didn't Dugu Yan say she wanted to handle it herself?

"Wait until she's done handling it."

"Boss!" Yu Feng's eyes were filled with disappointment.

At Heaven Dou City's Great Soul Arena, in a direct match, even the most humiliating defeat would still earn cheers.

The Great Soul Arena even had dedicated healing soul masters who treated contestants carried off the Soul Fighting Platform for free, so long as they were still breathing.

The results might not always be great, but at least they could ensure no one died.

This place was both a competition venue and a gladiatorial arena.

If someone admitted defeat before the fight even began, they would be mocked by everyone.

Even ordinary Soul Masters could not bear that, much less Dugu Yan, who came from Heaven Dou Royal Academy and was Poison Douluo's Granddaughter.

Tailong's words were practically an insult to her dignity as a Soul Master.

Dugu Yan's gaze turned icy as she walked toward the Soul Fighting Platform without a word.

She knew clearly that, in her current condition, she had no chance of winning this soul fight.

Before her accident, if she faced a strength-type Soul Master like Tailong, she would still need to blanket the field in poison mist and drag out the battle.

With the power of her Beryl Purple Poison, a Soul Elder like Tailong would not be able to hold out for long.

Once enough time passed, if he still refused to admit defeat, he could only turn into a puddle of poison.

Seeing her move, Tailong chuckled and leaped onto the Soul Fighting Platform in a few large strides.

He clasped his hands together and kept rolling his wrists, his face full of impatience.

"Wait! Yanyan!"

Ye Lingling's shout came from the entrance of the Great Soul Arena.

Dugu Yan suddenly froze. Lowering her head, she stopped walking.

The members of the Imperial Dou Team and Blue Overlord Team all turned to look.

Ye Lingling tugged Yu Mingfei along as they jogged all the way to the space between the two teams.

"Xiao Mingfei!" The moment Jiang Zhu saw Yu Mingfei, she became visibly excited.

She wanted to approach him, but her teammates were all beside her, while Yu Mingfei headed straight toward the Imperial Dou Team.

She could only return to the group regretfully.

When Yu Mingfei drew closer, Jiang Zhu immediately noticed the distinct Vermillion Dragon Horn on his forehead.

Doubt arose in her heart.

Is this Xiao Mingfei's Martial Soul Possession? Didn't it have no visible traits before?

"Yu Mingfei! You useless bastard came back too!"

On the Soul Fighting Platform, Tailong froze when he saw Yu Mingfei. Then he snorted heavily.

What answered him was a pair of blazing Golden Eyes.

Those imposing eyes made Tailong's entire body stiffen.

Yu Mingfei swept his gaze around before walking to Dugu Yan's side.

Ye Lingling was panting, and the black veil over her face fluttered with her breaths.

"Yanyan! Don't be impulsive!

"I brought him here!"

When facing Yu Tianheng and Tailong, Dugu Yan had worn an icy expression.

But the moment Yu Mingfei arrived, a trace of awkwardness appeared on her face.

"Lingling, why did you bring him here?"

Ye Lingling blinked but did not answer. Instead, she took a step back and hid behind Yu Mingfei.

Yu Mingfei had already learned what happened on the way over.

He did not waste words now and looked at Dugu Yan.

"Do you want to fight yourself?"

Dugu Yan took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

Yu Mingfei shook his head and said, "Give me your hand."

Dugu Yan obediently extended her hand, and Yu Mingfei seized it.

His Golden Eyes flickered as he met Dugu Yan's gaze.

The Soul Skill of the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, [Wildfires Never Burn It All, Spring Breezes Bring It Back to Life], quietly activated.

A stream of vitality poured from Yu Mingfei into Dugu Yan's body.

"Ah? Yu Mingfei, you!"

She knew this was the energy of Yu Mingfei's Soul Bone.

She also knew that excessive consumption of this vitality would affect Yu Mingfei.

But just as Dugu Yan tried to pull her hand away, Yu Mingfei gripped it tightly.

[Your weakened companion faces a challenge. Clever you thinks of using powerful Dragon Blood resonance and vitality to strengthen her body. Congratulations, you have invented Word Spirit: Royal Selection Servant.]

World-shattering Wisdom's feedback sounded by his ear, and Yu Mingfei curled his lips into a smile.

Dugu Yan had once used his Dragon Blood as a medium through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb the Immortal Herb medicinal power contained within his blood.

Before their deaths, the Ice Fire Dragon Kings had been God King-level Strong. The power of their bloodline needed no explanation.

After dissipating over countless years, what remained was the purest essence of that essence.

Dugu Yan had absorbed his Dragon Blood, creating a connection with him.

Yu Mingfei now used that connection to awaken the Dragon Blood within Dugu Yan's body.

"Word Spirit: Royal Selection Servant!"

Yu Mingfei murmured.

Dugu Yan's entire body trembled as her blood began to heat up.

A surge of power flowed from her blood and spread through every limb and bone.

Her muscles and bones were strengthened, while her nerves became even more sensitive.

Dugu Yan lifted her head and stared blankly at Yu Mingfei.

Yu Mingfei released her hand and took a step back.

"Go on. Beat him up."
