The ambiguous atmosphere in the classroom vanished into thin air the moment that sudden clap of thunder rang out.
Yu Tianyu released his hold on the two girls, his eyes narrowing slightly, though the smile on his lips did not fade; instead, it took on a playful edge. He turned around to face the classroom door.
There, a tall, burly figure had appeared out of nowhere.
It was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen, wearing the gold-trimmed uniform of the Advanced Division of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with a blue badge pinned to his chest that symbolized both honor and strength. He had short hair that stood up like steel needles, a resolute face, and the arrogance and domineering aura unique to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan between his brows.
What was most eye-catching was the incredibly unstable, violent lightning swirling around his body; those tiny blue electric arcs danced around him, as if declaring his danger to everyone nearby.
Yu Tianlei.
One of the leading figures of the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the current captain of the Imperial Fighting Team, and a level 42 Power Attack System Soul Ancestor.
His appearance caused the previously noisy Primary Class classroom to fall into a deathly silence. To these newly enrolled first-year students, a powerhouse at the level of a Soul Ancestor was practically a legendary existence.
"Is... is that Senior Yu Tianlei?!" "My god, why would a big shot from the Advanced Division come to our Primary Class?" "I heard he's Yu Tianyu's cousin? Could he be here to clean up the family's reputation?"
Whispers erupted in the corners, filled with unconcealable fear.
Yu Tianlei ignored the others, his eyes flashing with lightning as he locked his gaze onto Yu Tianyu, who stood before the podium.
"Yu Tianyu."
His voice was low and resonant, like rolling thunder. "Long time no see."
Yu Tianyu had his hands in his pockets. Facing the pressure of a Soul Ancestor, he didn't retreat in the slightest; instead, he lazily yawned. "So it's Cousin Tianlei. What, is training in the Advanced Division too boring? Or did Uncle worry I'd starve to death out here and send you to bring me some warmth?"
"Bring you warmth?"
Yu Tianlei sneered and stepped into the classroom.
"Clack, clack, clack."
With every step he took, a faint scorched mark was left on the floor.
"I'm here to see if the family's so-called 'decision' was right or wrong."
Yu Tianlei stopped three meters in front of Yu Tianyu, looking down at him from his superior height. "I heard you awakened a mutated trash Martial Soul and were kicked out of the house by the Clan Master. But how is it that I hear you're doing quite well for yourself at the academy, not only winning over the Dugu family's granddaughter but also having the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia wrapped around your finger?"
At this, he glanced at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling nearby, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Since when do the descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon need to rely on women to hold their own?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Dugu Yan was furious, her Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison aura erupting instantly.
But before she could strike, a bolt of lightning exploded from Yu Tianlei's body.
"BOOM!"
The violent lightning aura instantly suppressed Dugu Yan's poison. A Soul Ancestor against a Soul Grand Master—the level suppression was far too obvious.
"This isn't a place for you to speak, little girl." Yu Tianlei didn't even look at her, his gaze remaining fixed on Yu Tianyu. "Tianyu, even if you are a cast-off, you still have the family's blood flowing in your veins. I won't allow a piece of trash to disgrace the Yu family name out here."
"So?" Yu Tianyu raised an eyebrow.
"So, let me see what you're worth."
Yu Tianlei didn't waste any more words, his right arm suddenly lifting.
"Zzzzt—"
A blinding blue light flared up, and his right arm instantly expanded, his sleeve bursting apart to reveal a thick arm covered in blue dragon scales. This wasn't a Spirit Skill, but the unique ability of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—Dragon Transformation!
Although he hadn't yet reached the level of full-body Dragon Transformation possible after level thirty, a single-arm transformation combined with the spirit power of a Soul Ancestor was enough to kill any Soul Grand Master in seconds.
"Take this punch. If you can take it, I'll admit you have the qualifications to survive out here; if you can't, get back to the clan and sweep the floors!"
Before the words had even faded, Yu Tianlei had already thrown his punch.
He didn't use a Spirit Skill for this strike, but the violent lightning power, coupled with the force of the wind, created a high-pitched whistle that threatened to pierce everyone's eardrums.
"Tianyu! Watch out!" Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling cried out in unison.
Facing this punch that could split mountains and shatter stones, Yu Tianyu did not dodge.
Dodge?
Why would he dodge?
Looking at that dazzling ball of lightning, every cell in Yu Tianyu's body was cheering; it was the instinctive reaction of a Dragon Slayer Mage seeing top-tier ingredients.
"Cousin Tianlei, this welcome gift of yours is a bit too polite."
A strange curve tugged at the corner of Yu Tianyu's mouth.
In the terrified gaze of everyone present, he actually opened his mouth toward the incoming lightning-charged fist—
And took a sharp breath!
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Devour!"
The lightning power that should have slammed into his face, the moment it touched his lips, seemed to be pulled by some terrifying suction force, instantly twisting, stretching, and then...
"Slurp—"
Just like slurping noodles, that incredibly violent blue lightning was actually swallowed whole by Yu Tianyu!
"What?!"
Yu Tianlei's previously confident expression froze instantly. He stood rigid in place, maintaining his punching posture, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.
Lightning... was eaten?
This was the purest lightning power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! Even a Soul Ancestor of the same level wouldn't dare to take it head-on, yet this kid actually ate it with his mouth?!
"Hiccup--"
Yu Tianyu snapped his fingers, exhaling a small puff of black smoke laced with electric sparks. He smacked his lips as if still craving more. "Not bad. A bit numb, but it packs a punch. Is this the lightning of a Soul Ancestor? It's much stronger than those candle flames back home."
The entire class fell into a deathly silence.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also stunned. They knew Yu Tianyu could eat poison (Dugu Yan had experienced it firsthand), and they had seen him eat herbs (though they didn't know they were Immortal Herbs), but no one expected this guy could even eat lightning!
Was there anything he wouldn't eat?
"You..." Yu Tianlei withdrew his hand, looking at the unscathed Yu Tianyu with a dry throat. "Your Martial Soul... it can eat not only fire but also lightning?"
"I told you, it's Dragon Slayer Magic."
Yu Tianyu patted his stomach, and the aura around him shifted abruptly.
The lightning power he had just consumed was rapidly converting into magic power within his body, blending with his original fire and poison attributes, making his current aura incredibly complex and violent.
"Courtesy demands reciprocity. Since my cousin treated me to a feast, I should return the favor."
Yu Tianyu's eyes sharpened. He pulled his right leg back sharply, and a purple-black poison mist erupted instantly, laced with wisps of the blue electric arcs he had just swallowed.
This was no longer a simple Poison Dragon Spiral Jaw; it was a hybrid infused with the explosive power of lightning—
"Thunder Poison Dragon's—Spiral Jaw!!!"
The floor beneath Yu Tianyu's feet shattered. He shot forward like a purple-blue bolt of lightning, reaching Yu Tianlei in an instant.
Still in shock, Yu Tianlei reacted with lightning speed, instinctively crossing his arms to block as his third Spirit Ring lit up.
"Third Spirit Skill: Thunder Fury!"
He entered a berserk state instantly, increasing his lightning power by one hundred percent.
"BANG!!!"
Fist and foot collided.
A dull, explosive boom shook the entire teaching building.
Yu Tianyu's kick landed solidly on Yu Tianlei's crossed arms.
The immense force made even Yu Tianlei, a Soul Ancestor, grunt in pain. His feet plowed two long, deep furrows into the floor, sliding back five or six meters before he finally stopped.
Yu Tianyu performed a backflip and landed steadily.
"Hiss--"
Yu Tianlei drew a sharp breath and looked down. He saw that on his dragon-transformed arms, several blue dragon scales had actually cracked, and sizzling purple smoke was rising from the fissures—clearly corroded by the potent poison.
Such strong penetration!
Such tyrannical poison!
If he hadn't activated his third Spirit Skill for defense, this kick might have shattered his bones!
"Is this really the child who awakened his Martial Soul less than a month ago?"
The contempt in Yu Tianlei's heart vanished completely, replaced by deep shock and a trace of imperceptible... excitement.
"Good! What a fine Dragon Slayer Magic!"
Yu Tianlei dispersed the lightning around him, looked at Yu Tianyu, and burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! It seems those old stubborn fools in the clan were blind! A cast-off? A trash Martial Soul? This is clearly a monster born specifically for battle!"
He strode over to Yu Tianyu. This time, he didn't attack but instead gave Yu Tianyu a heavy pat on the shoulder.
"Tianyu, you did well. You took that punch, and you delivered that kick beautifully."
Yu Tianyu rubbed his slightly numb leg (after all, the level gap was there, and the recoil was no joke) and curled his lip. "So, does this mean I don't have to go back and sweep the floors?"
"Sweep the floors? Whoever dares to make you sweep, I'll be the first to electrocute them."
Yu Tianlei pulled a token from his robe and tossed it to Yu Tianyu. "This is my token. In Heaven Dou City, if anyone dares to give you trouble because you're a cast-off of the clan, show them this. If you can't resolve it, come to the Advanced Division and find me."
After saying this, he cast a meaningful glance at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling nearby.
"Although I don't object to you finding women, be mindful of moderation. Your body is the capital of your revolution; don't waste your talent between the sheets."
"Pfft--" Dugu Yan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning as red as a monkey's backside.
Ye Lingling also lowered her head in shame and anger.
"Alright, I'm off. As for the clan elders... I'll smooth things over for you. I'll tell them you're doing fine out here and haven't brought shame to the clan."
Yu Tianlei waved his hand and turned to leave. His back remained as arrogant as ever, but his footsteps seemed much lighter than when he arrived.
As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and spoke without turning back:
"Tianyu, since you've chosen the path of a Dragon Slayer, keep walking it. Don't worry about clan rules. On this continent, only the strong are qualified to set the rules. I look forward to the day you can truly stand before me and have a real fight."
"I will." Yu Tianyu gripped the token in his hand and said softly.
Long after Yu Tianlei had left, the classroom remained deathly silent.
Everyone was still immersed in the brief but shocking clash that had just occurred.
Devour the lightning!
Kick back the Soul Ancestor!
Just how many trump cards does this Yu Tianyu have?
"Hey..."
Dugu Yan broke the silence, looking at Yu Tianyu with a hint of worry, "You just consumed so much lightning—are you really okay? That was the lightning of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon; it's incredibly volatile."
"I'm fine."
Yu Tianyu rubbed his stomach and let out a burp that crackled with electric sparks, "A bit of indigestion, but... it was delicious."
He turned to look at the two women, returning to his usual rogue-like demeanor, "Alright, the nuisances are gone. Where were we? Oh right, the topic of post-battle massages and in-depth communication..."
"Go to hell!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling cursed in unison, yet the corners of both their mouths couldn't help but curl into a smile.
Even in a romantic minefield, in the face of absolute strength and a sense of security, things seemed to lose their edge.
That night, in the dormitory.
Yu Tianyu sat cross-legged, not in a rush to cultivate.
He was digesting the power of the lightning he had devoured today. Although the amount wasn't large, this power, coming from a bloodline of the same origin (Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon), was unexpectedly pure.
"Dragon Slayer Magic really is omnipotent."
"Fire Dragon, Poison Dragon... and now, a seed of the Thunder Dragon has been added to my body."
Yu Tianyu opened his palm. In the center, a ball of flame, a wisp of poisonous mist, and a bolt of electric arc were weaving and intertwining.
"Although the Thunder Dragon factor is still weak and insufficient to form an independent attribute, it has opened up a new line of thinking for me."
"As long as I keep devouring the power of dragons with different attributes, I can collect all seven dragon balls... oh wait, I mean collect all the attributes of Dragon Slayer Magic."
"When that time comes, I will be the true Dragon God."
Yu Tianyu clenched his fist, his gaze fixed on the starry night sky outside the window.
"But before that, I need to solve the problem at hand."
"My level is rising too fast. Although my body has kept up, my soul power is unstable. In the coming days, I should properly consolidate my foundation, and while I'm at it..."
"Completely win over those two girls."
Thinking of Ye Lingling's initiative today and Dugu Yan's jealousy, the smile on Yu Tianyu's face grew even wider.
This kind of life, growing stronger while building a harem, is exactly the life a transmigrator should have!
