Innate Full Soul Power! The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Shall Rise!

Tang Wei and Ning Zhenyuan beside Yu Yuanzhen suddenly changed expressions as well, all traces of their earlier calm detachment and spectator mentality gone.

"This..."

Yu Yuanzhen parted his lips slightly, yet he could not utter a single word for a long while.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members behind him stood frozen, their expressions blank as clay statues.

Others might not have known, but how could the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan fail to recognize...

The Martial Soul before them!

This was clearly...

The Golden Sacred Dragon!

The terrifying Martial Soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Ancestor!!

No!

It was even more imposing than the Golden Sacred Dragon awakened by their Ancestor as recorded in the Sect Records!

Coiling around its body was not only sacred light, but also incomparably domineering flames!

The crimson waves of air made the surrounding Soul Power boil with scorching heat. This was an anomaly the Ancestor's Golden Sacred Dragon had never possessed!

Yu Xiaoheng... had actually surpassed those who came before him!?

Everyone's gazes froze in midair, their minds seized by that figure woven from holiness and dominance.

Yet amid that absolute deathly stillness, a trembling voice, so distorted it was nearly unrecognizable, suddenly exploded.

"Level... Level Ten!"

The Elder presiding over the Awakening Ceremony clutched the Crystal Ball, which was shining brilliantly, with both hands, his voice shaking.

He screamed hoarsely:

"Yu Xiaoheng, Innate Soul Power Level Ten!!"

As his words fell.

The entire venue first sank into a strange silence.

It was as if time itself had frozen.

Until the first gaze fell upon the awakened Crystal Ball.

Then, in the next instant.

Boom—!

The uproar erupted like a volcanic eruption, instantly smashing through the dam of reason. The roar of voices nearly tore the roof off the Martial Arts Arena.

"Innate Full Soul Power?! Did I hear that right?!"

"It's actually real?? The light on the awakening ball has reached its limit?!"

"A Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, and Innate Full Soul Power?!"

"A monster! This is simply a monster!"

At the VIP Seating, several Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could no longer contain themselves. Their old faces flushed crimson as they excitedly gripped one another's arms so tightly that their knuckles turned white.

"Did you see it?! Did you see it?!"

"Our clan... our clan is about to produce a True Dragon!"

One Elder choked up, tears already glistening in his clouded old eyes.

"Ha... Hahahaha!"

On the high platform, Yu Yuanzhen stood stunned for a moment before bursting into earth-shaking laughter.

With his head thrown back, his deep laughter made the surrounding air hum. None of the Sect Master's usual dignity or composure remained.

"Heaven has blessed my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Xiaoheng truly is a Heavenly Gifted Genius, and Second Dragon has made him even stronger!"

"The clan shall rise! The clan shall rise!"

His eyes held only his eldest son standing beneath the Holy Dragon's radiance. As for his pale-faced second son, Yu Xiaogang, in the corner?

How could he spare him any thought now?

Qian Xunji's face darkened until it seemed ready to drip water.

Tang Wei and Ning Zhenyuan had long since risen from their seats, their expressions grave.

They were just about to say something.

But before the words could leave their mouths, waves of shouts rose from beneath the Martial Arts Platform.

"Young Master Xiaoheng, peerless talent!"

"Blue Lightning's proud dragon, glory to the clan!"

At first, only a few young disciples shouted sporadically.

In an instant, the cries became a flood, and every disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan raised their arms and cheered.

The Elder presiding over the awakening cast aside all formalities and joined the shouting at the top of his lungs.

Then came the Sect Elders!

The elders who were usually stern and reserved now had red-rimmed eyes. They channeled Soul Power into their voices, gathering them into wave after wave of sound that soared into the sky.

Innate Full Soul Power!

A Golden Sacred Dragon evolved to the utmost limit!

And a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with perfect compatibility!

The combination of all three had already exceeded the limits of their imagination!

Their minds were blank. They simply could not imagine what Yu Xiaoheng's future would look like!

Whether they had once accused Yu Xiaoheng of neglecting his proper duties or belonged to the older generation that had expressed disappointment in him, every one of them screamed hysterically.

Until their voices turned hoarse.

Until their aura was exhausted!

Their eyes were filled with fanaticism!!

"Young Master Xiaoheng, peerless talent!"

"Blue Lightning's proud dragon, glory to the clan!"

Mountain Calls and Sea Roars!

The sound shook the lands in every direction!

The entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan residence trembled violently beneath those unified, fanatical cries!

Amid the rolling waves of sound, countless disciples instinctively activated their Soul Power.

Fine arcs of blue lightning scattered from their bodies.

Like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, they all converged upon the Golden Sacred Dragon at the center of the Martial Arts Platform!

Buzz—!

A dazzling blue lightning barrier instantly formed around the massive dragon body, making the already sacred and majestic creature seem like a god descending upon the world!

And within this atmosphere of ultimate fervor.

A clear, youthful voice, unable to hide its excitement and delight, suddenly came from the VIP Seating.

"Brother Xiaoheng is amazing!"

Bibi Dong's large eyes shone brilliantly, and her small face was flushed red with excitement.

That cry was like a basin of cold water dumped directly over Qian Xunji's head.

His already gloomy face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot.

"Dong'er!"

He was about to flare up, but swallowed the words just as they reached his lips.

On second thought.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with Bibi Dong's words...

Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen and the others beside him were still trying to smooth things over. Making another move would only make him look even worse.

Still, Qian Xunji felt even more depressed.

Even he had to admit that Yu Xiaoheng's Martial Soul had transcended the mundane.

That five-clawed dragon body and that sacred aura had already surpassed the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the number one offensive Martial Soul in the world.

Even...

Qian Xunji's pupils contracted slightly.

The Golden Sacred Dragon was not only an ultimate evolution in form, but could also wield the tyrannical power of the Fire Dragon.

At least in its Martial Soul Fusion form.

Only Spirit Hall's Six-winged Angel could likely compare to such an existence.

No!

A voice roared madly within his heart.

This dragon... was stronger than the Angel Martial Soul!

Before so many eyes, he truly could not find any reason to rebuke a disciple for speaking the truth.

Besides, Tang Wei, Ning Zhenyuan, and the others beside him were constantly trying to mediate.

Qian Xunji's chest heaved violently, but he finally forced down the fury in his heart.

He merely stared fixedly at Yu Xiaoheng on the high platform, a shadowy killing intent flashing through his eyes.

"Teacher... didn't get angry?"

Seeing this, Bibi Dong became even happier, unable to hide the delight on her face.

She looked again at the figure surrounded by the crowd, her eyes sparkling.

Bibi Dong knew she was a useless child. In Spirit Hall, the other children her age all disliked her for being slow and not knowing how to play anything.

She only knew how to cultivate and read people's expressions.

So...

Bibi Dong knew that Innate Full Soul Power alone was not enough to leave her proud Teacher speechless.

This was also the first time she had seen her Teacher embarrassed in front of others.

And the one who had caused her Teacher such humiliation was... Brother Xiaoheng.

The person who had said before, sincerely said, that he would take her away from Spirit Hall.

This scene was deeply engraved in her mind.

A giant golden dragon amid a sky full of lightning, holding crimson feathers, like a god!

A warm current quietly flowed through Bibi Dong's heart.

This was wonderful.

Because...

Even if she would be punished after returning to Spirit Hall...

Even if her Teacher became angry, it no longer mattered.

Qian Xunji walked over to Bibi Dong with a gloomy face and glared at her.

But in the next second.

Qian Xunji's expression became even uglier.

Bibi Dong had not shown the frightened look he expected.

Before so many people, Qian Xunji felt a suffocating pressure in his chest, yet he could not act out. He could only glare at Bibi Dong with even greater resentment.

You'll suffer when we get back.

Rebellious disciple!

He glanced once more at Yu Xiaoheng on the Martial Arts Arena.

Crack. Qian Xunji crushed the Jade Thumb Ring on his finger.

Nearby.

The little girl merely leaned against the railing, watching ahead.

She thought to herself.

Brother Xiaoheng said he would come save me.

Dong'er will keep waiting for you.

Until...

You come.

Because Brother Xiaoheng will come, Dong'er isn't afraid.
