My Martial Soul: Poison Immunity!

A corner of Nuoding Academy.

A tall man dressed in tattered black robes, his face hidden beneath a hood and carrying a slovenly air, narrowed his eyes.

"I never expected that kid named Yang Yuan to join Heaven Dou Academy."

"What a pity. I'd originally wanted to test him a little longer and have him take Master as his teacher too. He could've served as Xiao San's right-hand man in the future."

"Who would've thought that after going out for a while, he'd join Heaven Dou Academy?"

"So be it. He only has an Eye Martial Soul. Even without him, with Twin Martial Souls, Xiao San will still shake the continent one day and restore the glory of the Clear Sky Sect."

"But I can't let Xiao Wu get away next."

"Since Xiao San seems interested in Xiao Wu, perhaps I can make some arrangements."

A sharp glint flashed through Tang Hao's narrowed eyes, cold and fierce.

Elsewhere.

Di Soul Village.

Since Yang Yuan had replied to Director Su of Nuoding Academy, he naturally did not forget to inform Old Jerry.

When Old Jerry learned that Yang Yuan had joined the Heaven Dou Empire's premier academy, he was so delighted that he could not sleep all night.

Whenever he met someone, he would say, "Did you know my grandson joined Heaven Dou Academy?"

Afraid that others might not understand Heaven Dou Academy's worth, Old Jerry would thoughtfully tell them about Yang Yuan's description of the academy in his letter as well.

As a result, the entire village knew about it now.

Old Jerry's grandson, Yang Yuan, had made something of himself. He would surely become a powerful Soul Master in the future, and everyone envied Old Jerry terribly.

Heaven Dou Academy.

Several days had passed since Yang Yuan joined Heaven Dou Academy.

Over the past few days, the uproar over his beating of Xue Beng had gradually died down, and in the end, no one came looking to cause him any trouble.

Xue Beng and his lackeys had even been ordered to return home and remain confined for three months.

It was said that the matter had even reached Xue Ye.

When Xue Ye learned that Xue Beng had nearly "driven away" a commoner genius with the potential to become a Titled Douluo, he flew into a rage on the spot.

After all, a commoner genius meant a clean background.

Every faction loved talents like that the most.

They were also the easiest to recruit.

If they lost such a genius because of Xue Beng, Xue Ye would never forgive him easily.

Even if Xue Beng was his son.

After all, a powerful Titled Douluo could protect the empire for centuries.

To compensate Yang Yuan, Xue Ye had not only punished Xue Beng, but also specifically ordered someone to deliver one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to Yang Yuan's dormitory.

It was said to be an apology, but in truth, it was also an attempt to build a good relationship with Yang Yuan through those one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

As for recruiting Yang Yuan, Xue Ye entrusted that task to Xue Qinghe.

After all, the three Committee Members had told him that Yang Yuan had joined Heaven Dou Academy through Xue Qinghe in the first place.

Naturally, Yang Yuan did not stand on ceremony and accepted the one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins without the slightest burden.

After all, who would ever think they had too much money?

Aside from that matter, Yang Yuan had also completely integrated into life at Heaven Dou Academy over the past few days.

Among the students of Heaven Grade Class One, aside from Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, he had interacted with everyone else to some degree.

Yang Yuan also took part in a practical combat class.

To accommodate him, Teacher Wang had specifically arranged two students who had just reached level twenty-five for him.

Unfortunately, fighting those two was no different from child's play for Yang Yuan.

He defeated them both with casual ease.

This was also the first time the students of Heaven Grade Class One had seen Yang Yuan fight. His formidable combat strength immediately made them compare him with Yu Tianheng.

If Yu Tianheng defeated his opponents each time with overwhelming force,

then Yang Yuan defeated his opponents as though an old man were playing with children, making it look effortless and unhurried.

Those eyes of his seemed capable of seeing through every weakness his opponents had, even flaws within their Soul Skills.

On the training grounds.

This was Yang Yuan's second practical combat class.

Everyone had been assigned their respective opponents.

Yu Tianheng's opponent was Shi Mo, whose Martial Soul was the Black Tortoise.

Shi Mo's Black Tortoise Martial Soul was considered a top-tier defensive Martial Soul, and his Soul Power Level was not low either, reaching level twenty-seven.

Although he was no match for Yu Tianheng, it would not be so easy for Yu Tianheng to defeat him head-on.

As for Yang Yuan, Teacher Wang had arranged Dugu Yan as his opponent.

Teacher Wang smiled. "Yang Yuan, you don't blame me for increasing the difficulty, do you?"

"It's fine. I like high-difficulty challenges."

Yang Yuan shrugged nonchalantly, with not the slightest trace of nervousness on his face.

To him, fighting a level twenty-five Soul Grandmaster was no different from fighting a level twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster.

Dugu Yan stood opposite Yang Yuan. Seeing that he showed no signs of nervousness, she could not help frowning slightly.

Yang Yuan had dealt with Xue Beng, which could be considered helping her vent some anger.

But his expression and attitude made her feel as though he were looking down on her.

He says he likes high-difficulty challenges, but does he actually think I'm no match for him?

Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes, and a dangerous glint flashed through her slightly narrow green pupils.

She decided to teach this little brother a lesson.

It would also let him know that there were always greater heights and stronger people.

Though he would surpass her sooner or later,

right now, he was still no match for her!

With that thought, Dugu Yan held nothing back and directly released her Martial Soul.

Two yellow Soul Rings immediately rose from beneath her feet.

"Little brother, aren't you going to release your Soul Rings yet?"

After Martial Soul Possession, fine snake scales immediately appeared over Dugu Yan's fair arms, and her figure became even more alluring.

Her bewitching eyes swept over Yang Yuan. Her voice was seductive, yet carried a sense of danger.

When the students of Heaven Grade Class One watching from nearby heard Dugu Yan's voice, their bodies shuddered slightly on instinct, and they retreated some distance farther.

After all, Dugu Yan's Soul Power was poisonous. They did not want to get caught in the crossfire.

At her words, Yang Yuan crooked a finger at Dugu Yan.

"Classmate Dugu, no need to be so polite. Come at me directly!"

"You asked for it!"

Seeing that Yang Yuan was still stubbornly refusing to change his mind, Dugu Yan snorted coldly and waved her hand.

A cloud of multicolored poisonous mist immediately surged from her palm.

At the same time, under the cover of the multicolored poisonous mist, Dugu Yan shot toward Yang Yuan like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Yang Yuan stood where he was, and his figure was quickly swallowed by the multicolored poisonous mist.

Yet he remained unmoved, a flash of Chaos Color passing through his eyes.

Suddenly, his body shifted to the right.

Whoosh!

A slender hand slashed down in front of his chest.

When her strike missed, surprise flashed through Dugu Yan's eyes.

What fast reflexes.

But she immediately turned and continued attacking Yang Yuan.

Within this poisonous mist, any Soul Master of the same level who did not possess powerful Poison Immunity could not possibly be her opponent.

But gradually, after exchanging more than ten moves, Dugu Yan sensed that something was wrong.

Why does Yang Yuan seem completely unaffected by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison?

"I refuse to believe your poison resistance can be this strong!"

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth as the two yellow Soul Rings beneath her feet lit up in succession.

First Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Red Poison!

Second Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison!

If used on allies, these two Soul Skills could increase their attack and defense.

But if used on enemies, they could intensify the effects of poisoning.

Yet Yang Yuan still appeared utterly at ease within the multicolored poisonous mist.

No matter how Dugu Yan attacked, she could not even touch the corner of Yang Yuan's clothes.

Seeing that the time was right, Yang Yuan thrust out his palm.

Bang!

With a muffled impact, Dugu Yan's body was sent flying.

Dugu Yan staggered as she steadied herself.

But when she saw Yang Yuan walk out of the multicolored poisonous mist looking refreshed and unharmed, undisguised shock immediately flashed across her face.

"You... how did you manage to remain completely unharmed within my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison?"

Yang Yuan smiled faintly, his voice clear and bright.

"My Martial Soul: Poison Immunity!"
