Let You Have Both Hands and Feet

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

This luxurious academy, built against a mountain and by a river, occupying an entire mountain, was less like a school and more like a vast noble estate.

The broad avenue paved with white marble, the meticulously trimmed greenery, and the exquisite sculptures seen everywhere all showcased the imperial grandeur and opulence.

After having a meal outside with Na'er, Xuan Hao brought her away from Heaven Dou City and headed towards Heaven Dou Royal Academy outside the city.

Since Dugu Bo had already shown himself, even though he hadn't actually made a move, it gave him a reason.

If Dugu Bo wanted to bully him, he naturally had to bully Dugu Yan too!

Once he bullied Dugu Yan, that old fellow Dugu Bo would definitely come looking for him again, but with today's events, he certainly wouldn't dare to act rashly. Even if he did, Ghostly Shadow would be there to block him.

And as long as Dugu Bo dared to sneak over, he would dare to directly kidnap Dugu Yan!

"Stop!"

Several youths wearing goose-yellow school uniforms, looking only twelve or thirteen years old, blocked Xuan Hao and Na'er's path.

They sized up the pair of "children," one large and one small, who looked incredibly noble. Although they were somewhat intimidated by the other's aura, as students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, their innate sense of superiority made them lift their chins:

"This is Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. What family are you children from? This is no place for you to play house, hurry up and leave!"

Xuan Hao stopped, not angered, but instead offering a polite smile:

"Greetings, senior students. I heard our academy has a new genius named Yu Tianheng, and I'd like to find him."

"Yu Tianheng?"

The leading youth was taken aback for a moment, then a hint of reverence flashed in his eyes. "You mean the one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

Although Yu Tianheng had only enrolled a few days ago, he was truly a formidable force.

Not only was he a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, but he was also hailed as the most promising genius of this generation to inherit the Sect Master's position.

On his first day, he had already beaten several senior students who wanted to put him in his place black and blue, and even the academy's three deans had taken a liking to him.

"What do you want him for?" the youth asked warily.

"Oh, I also play with dragons," Xuan Hao blinked, his sky-blue eyes incredibly clear. "I heard his Spirit is the number one beast Spirit in the world, and I admire him greatly. I'd like to... spar with him."

"Pfft—"

The youths couldn't help but burst into laughter.

You?

A kid who looked like he still needed to be weaned, wanting to spar with Yu Tianheng? Playing with dragons? More like playing with mudfish, right?

"Alright, alright, don't cause trouble here. Yu Tianheng should be at the Heavenly Micro Level Training Ground right now," the youth said dismissively, waving his hand. "However, he's too busy to bother with a brat like you."

"Thanks."

Xuan Hao didn't mind their mockery. He pulled Na'er and walked in swaggeringly in the direction the youth had pointed.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan should be together.

It would be too deliberate to look for Dugu Yan directly, but looking for Yu Tianheng wouldn't seem as contrived.

After all, he also had a dragon-type Spirit, so it was normal for him to be interested in this so-called number one beast Spirit, wasn't it?

It was also normal to want to spar, wasn't it?

Moreover, he had to be arrogant!

The more arrogant he was, the less people would be able to figure him out! The more they would hesitate to provoke him!

If he acted tough now and then suddenly cowered, lacking follow-through, it would be disastrous.

He had fought Xue Beng yesterday, made Xue Beng kneel and apologize this morning, and now he was here at Heaven Dou Royal Academy to cause a scene in the afternoon.

Without an incredible background, without absolute confidence, who would dare to act like this?

Heavenly Micro Level Training Ground.

This place was specifically prepared for new students whose Spirit Power was below level twenty-five. Although the level wasn't high, the facilities were first-class.

At this moment, the area around the Soul Fighting Platform was crowded with onlookers.

"Boom—!"

With a loud explosion, a beam of blue-purple lightning shot up into the sky, directly blasting the opponent off the stage.

"My apologies."

On the stage, a slender and tall youth in a fitted outfit retracted his right hand. He had short black hair, eyes as sharp as lightning, and residual lightning still coiled around him, making him look incredibly imposing.

It was Yu Tianheng.

"So strong! As expected of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit!"

"Even a level twenty-five beast Spirit Master was instantly killed in one move. The gap is too huge!"

The students below the stage discussed amongst themselves, their eyes filled with reverence and admiration.

Even though they were Great Soul Masters, they were like paper dolls in front of Yu Tianheng, unable to even withstand a single move. Was this the true value of the number one beast Spirit in the world?

"Boring."

Yu Tianheng shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. This Heaven Dou Royal Academy, aside from its good environment, had truly worrying student quality.

Just as he was about to jump off the Soul Fighting Platform, a crisp voice suddenly rang out, piercing the quiet training grounds.

"Hey, you playing with electricity."

Yu Tianheng stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw at the entrance of the training grounds, a silver-haired young boy, who looked no older than eight or nine, standing with his hands in his pockets, looking over. Beside him was a little girl with silver hair and purple eyes, as cute as a porcelain doll.

"Are you calling me?" Yu Tianheng frowned slightly.

"Who else? Besides you, who else is buzzing and crackling like a big lightbulb?" Xuan Hao walked over, holding Na'er's hand, completely ignoring the gazes of the surrounding students who looked at him like he was an idiot. He stood at the foot of the Soul Fighting Platform, looking up at Yu Tianheng:

"I heard you're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Hailed as the number one beast Spirit in the world?"

"Coincidentally, I also have a dragon Spirit."

"I want to see, who's fiercer, your lightning dragon, or my dragon... is a bit harder."

"You want to fight me?"

Yu Tianheng looked Xuan Hao up and down as if he had heard a joke, then shook his head, "I don't bully children. Come back when you've grown some fuzz."

With that, he turned to leave.

"It's fine, you don't need to feel burdened," Xuan Hao said. "If you're afraid people will say you're bullying a younger opponent, I can let you use one hand."

"What did you say?" The smile on Yu Tianheng's face vanished, his eyes turning somewhat dangerous.

"What? One hand isn't enough?"

Xuan Hao sighed, with an expression that said, "You're so weak." "Then I'll add a pair of feet, that should be enough, right?"

"Arrogant!!"

Yu Tianheng was completely enraged.

The people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had pride flowing in their blood. He could accept a challenge, even accept defeat, but he could never accept such blatant humiliation! Especially from a child who was several years younger than him!

"Since you're looking for a beating, I'll grant your wish!"

Yu Tianheng pointed at the Soul Fighting Platform, "Get up! Today, I'll teach you what respect is on behalf of your elders!"

"Wouldn't it have been easier if you agreed so readily earlier?"

Xuan Hao let go of Na'er's hand and lowered his head to instruct, "Na'er, wait here obediently. Brother will be back soon."

"Mhm, go get 'em, brother." Na'er nodded obediently, found a bench a little further away, and took out a half-eaten bag of candied chestnuts from her pocket to start peeling.

Xuan Hao slowly walked onto the Soul Fighting Platform and stood opposite Yu Tianheng.

The two stood facing each other.

Yu Tianheng took a deep breath. Despite his anger, his good upbringing still allowed him to maintain basic Soul Master etiquette.

"Yu Tianheng, level twenty-four Assault System Battle Soul Master, Spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"

"Buzz--"

Two rings of bright yellow Hundred Year Spirit Rings slowly rose from his feet, and a powerful aura of lightning instantly erupted. Blue-purple arcs of electricity roamed around him, crackling.

Xuan Hao looked at his stance and simply smiled faintly.

"Xuan Hao."

"Spirit: Golden Dragon."

After saying that, he stopped.

He didn't report his level, didn't release his Spirit Rings, and didn't even seem inclined to take his hands out of his pockets.

Yu Tianheng's expression instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

On the Soul Fighting Platform, this kind of behavior had only one explanation—he looked down on you!

"Good, good, good! Since you're so confident, don't blame me for being impolite!!"

Yu Tianheng laughed in anger, and the electric light in his eyes surged.

"First Spirit Skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!!"

He exerted force with his feet, and his entire body moved like a blue lightning bolt, instantly charging towards Xuan Hao. His right claw, covered in dragon scales, carried the power of berserk lightning and fiercely clawed towards Xuan Hao's shoulder.

Although he was angry, he still held back, not attacking vital points, merely wanting to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.

However.

Facing this imposing attack, Xuan Hao didn't even lift an eyelid.

Just as Yu Tianheng reached within five meters of him.

Xuan Hao suddenly opened his mouth.

Second Spirit Skill—Golden Dragon Roar!

"Roar--!"

Without any warning, a terrifying dragon roar filled with ancient, primitive aura exploded on the Soul Fighting Platform like thunder from a clear sky!

A visible golden sound wave, mixed with the purest pressure of the high-ranking dragon race and a powerful mental shock, instantly blasted towards Yu Tianheng, who was charging forward!

"Boom!!"

Yu Tianheng, who had been full of momentum, was like a leaf in a fierce wind in front of this terrifying sound wave.

His mind went "buzz," as if his soul had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.

Immediately after, the fear from the depths of his bloodline erupted, causing the Spirit Power within him to instantly dissipate!

"Pfft--"

The Spirit that had just manifested was instantly forced to unbind, dragon scales receded, and lightning vanished.

Yu Tianheng's eyes rolled back. Before he could even scream, he was directly blasted away by the sound wave, drawing a tragic parabola through the air before crashing heavily off the Soul Fighting Platform, peacefully falling asleep.
