Instant Kill

As the two were about to clash, Qian Renhan did not look at the aggrieved Qian Renxue. Instead, he said flatly, "Watch carefully how I make my move."

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback before nodding. "I understand, Brother. Go, Brother."

Yu Longchen sized Qian Renhan up and down but could not gauge his true strength. The Angel Martial Soul was exceptionally good at concealing Soul Power. Earlier, he had only been able to sense Qian Xunji's Soul Power because Qian Xunji had deliberately released it while flying over. Still, Qian Renxue's obedient little-sister demeanor around Qian Renhan was enough to show that there was a vast gap in their strength.

"Tianshuang, you go."

Yu Longchen sent out a direct disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who had just broken through to Soul Grandmaster.

On the arena, Qian Renhan and Yu Tianshuang faced each other. Neither of them exchanged pleasantries like Feng Xiaotian, that guy with an absurdly outgoing personality.

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianshuang. Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Level 21 Power Attack Type Soul Grandmaster."

Two yellow Spirit Rings rose beneath Yu Tianshuang's feet. It was the same scene as when Yu Tianyuan had unleashed his Martial Soul, except Yu Tianshuang had an extra pair of dragon horns on his forehead. These were dragonified parts that appeared after breaking through a realm of Soul Power. At level thirty, he would gain a dragon tail and vertical pupils.

Qian Renhan did not introduce himself. The Soul Tool in his hand lit up, and a longsword dropped into his grasp. It was the sharpened sword he used for daily training and had used to kill his first soul beast.

"Only if you force out my Martial Soul will you be worthy of knowing my name."

Qian Renhan's indifferent voice echoed across the entire venue. Anger appeared in the eyes of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples. Declaring one's Martial Soul and name was the most basic courtesy in a Soul Master duel, and Qian Renhan's actions clearly showed that he looked down on Yu Tianshuang's strength.

"What a fine junior. Pope, your son certainly has impeccable manners." Yu Longchen crushed the armrest beneath his hand and looked coldly at Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji smiled. "Senior Longchen, please calm your anger. The child has always had this sort of temperament."

"Hmph!"

Yu Longchen did not buy it at all. He said coldly, "Tianshuang, defeat this brat, and I will permit you to choose your third and fourth Spirit Rings from the soul beasts in Thunder Canyon."

Hearing this, Yu Tianshuang's adrenaline surged, and he grew excited. Envy also appeared in the eyes of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's direct disciples.

Why was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan situated in Thunder Canyon? Because the environment there was best suited for cultivation by Soul Masters with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. The soul beasts raised in Thunder Canyon were the ones whose attributes most closely matched the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Ordinary direct disciples could only obtain their first and second Spirit Rings there. Only direct disciples being groomed as the clan's next heir could obtain their third and fourth Spirit Rings there. This would greatly benefit both his future potential and his increase in strength.

"I don't know your name, but you will pay for your arrogance." Yu Tianshuang's expression turned cold. The first Spirit Ring beneath his feet lit up, and blue-violet lightning gathered around his right claw as he charged at Qian Renhan.

Since their first and second Spirit Rings both came from the soul beasts raised by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in Thunder Canyon, the first two Spirit Rings of the clan's direct disciples were identical.

"Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Just as Yu Tianshuang's right arm came within half a meter of Qian Renhan, Qian Renhan suddenly moved. He swung his sword with his left hand, slashing toward the dragon claw.

Yu Tianshuang sneered disdainfully. I thought you were something impressive. So you're just an idiot who likes putting on airs. You want to use a sword to clash head-on with my Thunder Dragon Claw? Do you think that sword is a divine weapon?

"Something's wrong. It's a feint!"

Yu Longchen, Sword Douluo, and Tang Xiao all cried out, their pupils widening. Qian Renhan had indeed swung his sword, but the moment it swung out, the hilt slipped from his left hand and hung in midair.

At that moment, Yu Longchen's attention was drawn to Qian Renhan's raised right hand, as though he were about to grasp something. He realized that the released longsword was a trap, but it was already too late to retreat.

With a crisp bang, Qian Renhan's right hand caught the sword. He twisted aside, dodging Yu Tianshuang's Thunder Dragon Claw, then slashed his sword at Yu Tianshuang's kidney.

After that strike, the two figures passed each other.

"Next."

Qian Renhan spoke indifferently without turning around, flicking the blood from his sword. Behind him, a clear bloody gash appeared across Yu Tianshuang's right kidney. Blood sprayed from it as his Martial Soul Possession was released. He dropped to his knees, clutching the wound tightly, his face twisted in pain.

"With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, after level thirty, each breakthrough grants another body part that dragonifies and becomes covered in hard scales. But before those parts are covered in scales, they are extremely fragile. A sword can easily cut through them." Qian Renhan calmly explained the weakness of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, then met Yu Longchen's rage-filled gaze. "Why haven't you had someone drag him away and find a Healing Soul Master to treat him? I didn't damage his kidney or intestines, but if he dies from excessive blood loss, that has nothing to do with me."

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and take him back for treatment! Are you all idiots?" Yu Longchen roared at the clan's outer disciples, who had gone dumbfounded after hearing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul's fatal weakness.

The outer disciples came to their senses and hurriedly carried over a stretcher. They went onto the arena and carried Yu Tianshuang away.
