The End of the Road for Mad Rhino! Dragon Might Suppresses, When Poison Meets Raging Fire

Heaven Dou Great Spirit Fighting Arena, main spirit fighting zone.

The atmosphere tonight was exceptionally explosive. Because just moments ago, the notorious and ruthless Mad Battle Team had accepted a challenge from a rookie team named Dragon Snake Begonia.

Under normal circumstances, a match with such a disparity in levels would never attract an audience.

On one side were seven hardened veterans, all over level thirty-five. On the other were three kids who looked wet behind the ears, with the highest level being only in the twenties (on the surface).

But there were two variables here. First, the ruthless youth who had kicked Mad Rhino's cousin into disability a few days ago. Second, the two peerless beauties standing beside the youth, whose breathtaking charm couldn't be hidden even by their veils.

This kind of "Beauty and the Beast" and "revenge versus slaughter" drama was the best way to stimulate the nerves of gamblers.

In the lounge.

"Did you all memorize it?"

Yu Tianyu straightened his cuffs, his gaze sweeping over the two girls in front of him.

Dugu Yan was wearing a tight, dark green leather outfit today, which outlined her hot figure to perfection, making her look like a beautiful snake ready to strike at any moment.

Ye Lingling remained in her usual black attire, as quiet as a begonia blooming in the dark of night.

"Memorized." Dugu Yan tossed her hair with some impatience. "Leave that Spider Woman to me, and that support-type old man to me as well. As for that big rhino..."

"The big rhino is mine."

A bloodthirsty smile curled the corners of Yu Tianyu's mouth. "I want to snap his horn off with my own hands and make it into a hairpin for you."

Dugu Yan blushed and spat, "Who would want that ugly thing as a hairpin! But... if you really can snap it off, I'll... I'll let you bite me again."

"Deal."

Yu Tianyu snapped his fingers and turned to push open the door.

"Let's go, let's go teach that arrogant brute a vivid 'biology lesson'."

"Next, let us welcome—the Mad Battle Team!!!"

Following the host's hoarse, desperate shouting, seven burly men (plus one bewitching woman) led by Mad Rhino walked onto the spirit fighting stage.

"Roar—!!!"

As soon as Mad Rhino stepped onto the stage, he let out a roar toward the sky. His height of nearly two and a half meters, the granite-like bulging muscles, and the suffocating pressure of a Spirit Elder instantly ignited cheers throughout the arena.

"Mad Rhino! Mad Rhino! Tear them apart!" "Twist that pretty boy's head off!"

Facing the overwhelming wave of sound, Mad Rhino proudly raised his arms, then looked toward the opposite side with a vicious gaze.

There, three slightly slender figures had just stepped onto the platform.

"Yo, you actually dared to come."

Mad Rhino sneered, his eyes roaming unscrupulously over Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. "Kid, I have to admire your courage. But when we start fighting later, I won't go easy on you just because you have two pretty chicks with you."

"On the contrary..."

He extended his scarlet tongue to lick his lips. "I will tear the clothes off their bodies one by one right in front of you. I'll let you know the price of offending me, Mad Rhino!"

Hearing this, the green light in Dugu Yan's eyes flared, and poison mist began to swirl around her fingertips.

Although Ye Lingling didn't speak, the petals of the Nine Heart Begonia in her hands began to stir without wind.

Yu Tianyu, however, laughed.

He laughed very happily, as if he had just heard some grand joke.

"Tear off our clothes? Good idea."

Yu Tianyu slowly raised his right hand, and a cluster of crimson flames suddenly surged in his palm.

"However, dead men don't get the chance to tear off clothes."

"Referee, start it. I'm in a hurry."

The referee felt a chill from Yu Tianyu's indifferent gaze and hurriedly raised his hand.

"Spirit fight... begin!"

"Brothers! Activate your spirits! Charge and crush them!" Mad Rhino roared.

"Moo—!"

Two yellow and one purple, three spirit rings rose from beneath his feet. With his Rhino spirit possessed, his skin instantly turned into a thick layer of keratin, and a sharp, single horn grew from his head.

Behind him, two agility-attack spirit masters with sheep spirits, as well as the bewitching Spider Woman spirit master, also released their spirits simultaneously, charging forward like a pack of wolves hunting prey.

"Two support-types in the back, power-attack types in the front? You're courting death!"

Yu Tianyu's eyes turned cold.

"Ye Lingling!"

"Nine Heart Begonia, full-area amplification."

A cold, clear voice came from the girl behind him.

This time, Ye Lingling held nothing back. The Begonia flower in her hand bloomed instantly, transforming into countless pinkish-white specks of light that precisely merged into the bodies of Yu Tianyu and Dugu Yan.

Although the Nine Heart Begonia possessed only a single healing soul skill, as a top-tier Martial Soul, its inherent soul power enhancement could instantly restore a teammate's condition to its peak, and even increase all their attributes by ten percent!

Feeling the surging power within his body, Yu Tianyu stomped his foot.

"Boom!"

The solid granite floor instantly cracked into a spiderweb pattern.

He did not dodge the Savage Charge from Mad Rhino; instead, to the shock of everyone watching, he met that human tank head-on and charged straight at him!

"Tianyu! Don't be reckless!" Dugu Yan cried out in alarm.

That was a level 38 defense-type Soul Venerable! Taking him head-on? Wasn't that just asking for death?

Seeing this, the cruelty in Mad Rhino's eyes intensified: "You ignorant fool! Third soul skill: Savage Charge!"

A purple thousand-year soul ring lit up.

Mad Rhino's speed surged instantly, his entire body transforming into a black whirlwind, and that single horn shimmered with a heart-stopping cold light as it aimed straight for Yu Tianyu's heart.

Even a Soul Venerable of the same level wouldn't dare to take this strike head-on!

However.

At the very moment the two were about to collide.

Yu Tianyu's eyes changed.

His originally black pupils instantly transformed into vertical slits, and a terrifying pressure from the ancient era, belonging to a true Dragon King, was released without reservation!

"Martial Soul suppression?!" Mad Rhino's heart skipped a beat.

He felt his own Rhinoceros Martial Soul trembling within him; it was a fear originating from the depths of his bloodline, as if he were facing a predator at the very top of the food chain.

His movements suffered a momentary stiffness.

When experts clash, a single instant is an eternity.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art..."

Yu Tianyu's fists were instantly enveloped in raging flames—not ordinary fire, but dragon fire imbued with explosive properties!

"Crimson Lotus—Explosive Flame Blade!!!"

Yu Tianyu's arms traced a brilliant arc of fire in the air, utilizing the momentum of his sprint to smash fiercely against Mad Rhino's horn!

"Clang—!!!"

A sound like a massive bell tolling echoed throughout the arena.

Immediately following.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of something snapping made everyone's heart skip a beat.

They saw that supposedly indestructible rhinoceros horn, under the iron fist of Yu Tianyu wrapped in dragon flames, actually snap directly in half!

"Ahhh—!!!"

Mad Rhino let out a shrill, miserable scream, the immense impact sending him flying backward, his massive body rolling across the ground like a ball seven or eight times before finally coming to a stop.

The entire arena fell into a deathly silence.

One punch?

Another one-punch finish?!

If the last time he fought that bald man it was a Great Soul Master against a Great Soul Master, this time he had crossed a gap of over twenty levels!

Level 15 fighting level 38, head-on, and he even broke the opponent's hardest horn?

Is he even human?!

"I said I would break your horn."

Yu Tianyu stood where he was, shaking the blood (Mad Rhino's blood) from his hand, his gaze disdainful. "Now, this is just the beginning."

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield.

Dugu Yan also made her move.

Seeing her beloved show such valor, how could she, the "granddaughter of Poison Douluo," be content to fall behind?

"Trying to sneak attack?"

Dugu Yan looked coldly at the Spider Woman soul master who was attempting to flank and attack Ye Lingling.

"Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison!"

She opened her mouth and spat out a dense cloud of purple mist.

The Spider Woman was also an expert in poison, and seeing this, she sneered: "Showing off your skills before an expert! My spider poison is..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her expression changed.

Because when her spider poison mist met the Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison of Dugu Yan, it was as if snow had encountered a raging fire, instantly being swallowed and dissolved!

"How is this possible?! My poison..."

"Your poison is simply too low-tier."

Dugu Yan's figure moved like a snake, instantly piercing through the poison mist as her slender leg whipped out like a lash, striking the Spider Woman across the waist.

"Bang!"

The Spider Woman let out a miserable shriek and was sent flying.

Just then, the remaining members of the Mad Battle Team finally reacted.

"These people are a bunch of monsters! Don't hold back anymore!"

The Ruyi Disk support spirit master in the back shouted, the silver disk in his hand radiating a brilliant light.

"Fanaticism!"

This was the trump card of the Mad Battle Team.

A group Fanaticism state!

Once this state was applied, all members would lose their sense of pain and receive a fifteen percent increase to all attributes, turning them into machines that knew only how to kill!

In an instant, including the Mad Rhino who had just climbed back up, the remaining six members of the Mad Battle Team saw their eyes turn blood-red, their bodies expanded by another circle, and they let out beast-like roars.

"Oh no! It's the Fanaticism state!" Dugu Yan's expression changed as she retreated to the side of Yu Tianyu. "In this state, they don't feel pain. We must interrupt that support spirit master!"

"That won't be necessary."

Yu Tianyu watched the herd of frenzied beasts charging toward them; not only was he not nervous, but he took a deep breath.

"Yanyan, lend me your poison."

"What?" Dugu Yan was stunned.

"Release all of your poison. Aim it toward me."

Yu Tianyu spread his arms wide, his chest swelling high like a giant dragon inhaling.

Although Dugu Yan was confused, out of absolute trust, she did not hesitate to unleash all the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison within her body.

A dense purple mist instantly shrouded Yu Tianyu.

"What is he doing? Is he committing suicide?" the audience exclaimed.

However, the next second, a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives unfolded.

Yu Tianyu was not poisoned to death.

On the contrary, he opened his mouth wide and inhaled the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison—enough to kill an elephant—along with all the surrounding air, straight into his stomach!

"Gulp..."

His cheeks bulged, and faint purple-red dragon scale patterns emerged on his skin.

The Fire Dragon Magic within his body and the newly inhaled Poison Dragon Magic were being frantically compressed and fused in his throat.

This was a technique he had only recently comprehended—Dual Dragon Mode (Pseudo).

Although he could not yet achieve a true dual dragon fusion, by "eating" Dugu Yan's poison, he could temporarily unleash a combined magic attack, and that was enough!

Facing the six frenzied spirit masters who had already charged to within five meters of him.

Yu Tianyu took a fierce step forward.

He placed his hands in a trumpet shape around his mouth.

"Dragon Slayer Fusion Ultimate..."

"Poison Flame Dragon's--Roar!!!"

"Rumble--!!!"

A terrifying purple-red beam of light erupted from his mouth!

Within that beam, it contained not only the raging fire that burned everything, but also the deadly poison that corroded everything!

Mad Rhino bore the brunt of the attack.

His prideful Fanaticism state was like paper in the face of this destructive power.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

This scream was ten times more miserable than the one before.

The purple-red dragon breath surged like a flood, instantly swallowing everyone on the Mad Battle Team. It didn't lose momentum, smashing through the arena railing behind them and even melting a three-meter-wide hole into the solid wall!

When the light faded.

On the arena, apart from the spot where Yu Tianyu and his team stood, the area in front had been reduced to scorched earth.

Mad Rhino was charred black, purple poisonous smoke rising from his body as he lay at the bottom of the pit like a dead dog, twitching from time to time.

The other members were even more wretched; some were foaming at the mouth, others were in tatters, and all of them had lost their ability to fight.

That so-called "Fanaticism" state hadn't even lasted a single second before it was forcibly broken.

The entire arena...

Fell into a deathly silence once more.

Only this time, the silence lasted longer than any before it.

A full minute passed.

"Gulp."

The sound of someone swallowing, audible in the quiet venue, rang out with startling clarity.

Immediately after, a roar erupted that threatened to blow the roof off the building!

"He... he won?!" "A one-hit kill?! Another one-hit kill?!" "What kind of soul skill was that?! Did he spit it out of his mouth?! Was that dragon breath?!" "Dragon God! Dragon God! Dragon God!"

It was unclear who started the chant, but soon, the cries of "Dragon God" echoed throughout the entire Great Spirit Arena.

In this world that worships strength, the world-shattering strike Yu Tianyu had just unleashed had completely conquered everyone present.

On the stage.

Yu Tianyu wiped the lingering purple smoke from the corner of his mouth, his body swaying slightly.

That strike, the Roar of the Poison Flame Dragon, had drained nearly half of his soul power. After all, forcibly fusing two different attributes placed an immense burden on his body.

Just as he began to lose his strength.

Two hands, one from the left and one from the right, reached out to steady him simultaneously.

On his left was Dugu Yan, her face etched with heartache. On his right was Ye Lingling, her eyes filled with concern.

"Are you crazy? Don't you know that eating random things can get you killed!" Dugu Yan scolded while channeling her soul power into his body.

"Are you okay?" Ye Lingling didn't say much else; the Nine Heart Begonia in her hand bloomed once more, enveloping him in a soft, healing light.

Feeling the warmth and softness on both sides, the smile that had been on Yu Tianyu's pale face returned—that same smug, punchable grin.

"I'm fine."

He reached out to wrap his arms around their slender waists, leaning his weight onto them.

"I'm just a little hungry."

"Let's go, grab that rhinoceros horn, and we'll go have a feast."

Amidst the cheers, the three of them supported one another (with Yu Tianyu mostly taking advantage of the situation) and slowly walked off the soul fighting stage.

Behind them, the once arrogant Mad Battle Team had completely become dust in history.

In the most luxurious VIP box on the top floor of the Great Spirit Arena.

A young man dressed in golden palace robes with an elegant temperament stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the three figures leave below.

It was none other than the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue).

Behind her, two dark guards dressed in black knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, the investigation is complete."

The dark guard reported in a low voice, "This person is named Yu Tianyu, the illegitimate son (according to rumors) of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect master, Yu Yuanzhen. He awakened a mutated trash martial soul and was expelled from the sect. However, for some reason, he possesses a strange ability to devour fire and deadly poisons."

"A mutated trash martial soul?"

Xue Qinghe looked at the scorch marks left behind by the purple-red dragon breath Yu Tianyu had just unleashed, a playful curve forming on her lips.

"A trash martial soul that can instantly kill the Mad Battle Team? Is that old fool Yu Yuanzhen senile, or is he playing a much larger game?"

She gently swirled the wine glass in her hand, a flash of golden light crossing her eyes.

"That devouring ability... it can even fuse with Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison."

"If that's the case..."

"Perhaps, I can add another piece to my plan."

Xue Qinghe turned around, her voice returning to its usual gentle and refined tone:

"Go, send an invitation to this junior, Yu Tianyu."

"Tell him... I would like to invite him for tea. If he doesn't mind, he can bring his two confidantes along."

"Yes!"

The dark guard acknowledged the order and departed.

Xue Qinghe looked back out the window, her gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Dragon God, is it? Heh."

"In this Soul Land, there can only be one true god."

"But before you become a stumbling block, I don't mind seeing just how big of a splash you, this little dragon, can make."

Late at night, at the academy dormitory.

Because they had won a large sum of money (Pang Hu had bet his entire fortune) and had finally vented their frustrations, the trio did not separate for the night.

Of course, doing anything too excessive was impossible; after all, this was the academy dormitory.

But...

"Hiss... take it easy!"

Yu Tianyu lay prone on the bed, his upper body bare, revealing well-defined muscles. On his back, Dugu Yan was straddling him, her hands coated in medicinal oil as she massaged him.

Although he had the healing of the Nine Heart Begonia, the lingering muscle soreness still required physical means to be relieved.

"Serves you right! Who told you to show off!"

Dugu Yan scolded him, though the force of her hands became much gentler. "You scared me to death just now. What would have happened if you had actually been hit by that rhinoceros?"

"Hit? If I had been, it would have been his horn that snapped."

Yu Tianyu buried his face in the pillow, his voice muffled. "Speaking of which, where is Lingling? Didn't she say she was going to pour me some water?"

"What, is me serving you alone not enough? You want a threesome?" Dugu Yan pinched his waist.

Just then, the door opened.

Ye Lingling walked in carrying a glass of warm water.

Seeing the suggestive posture on the bed, her footsteps faltered, and a blush flashed across her face, but she did not retreat.

Over the past half-month, her psychological defenses had been almost entirely broken down by Yu Tianyu.

"Here is the water."

Ye Lingling walked to the bedside and set the glass down.

"Feed me." Yu Tianyu turned his head and opened his mouth like a pampered master.

Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment before picking up the glass and bringing it to his lips.

Yu Tianyu took a sip, then suddenly grabbed Ye Lingling's wrist.

"Lingling, when you said 'I'm not afraid' on the stage earlier, you were truly beautiful."

Ye Lingling's hand trembled slightly, and a little water spilled onto Yu Tianyu's chest.

She hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it off, but Yu Tianyu grabbed her, causing her to lose her balance and fall directly onto the bed, landing right beside him.

In an instant, three people were squeezed onto the narrow single bed.

On the left was the beautiful snake straddling his back, and on the right was the aloof begonia fallen into his arms.

The air instantly became stiflingly hot.

"Um..."

Ye Lingling tried to get up, only to find Yu Tianyu's arm clamped around her waist like an iron vice.

"Don't move."

Yu Tianyu's voice was somewhat hoarse. "I expended too much energy tonight; I need to... recharge."

"What... what are you trying to do?" Dugu Yan also sensed that something was wrong, as she felt a certain reaction from the person beneath her.

"Nothing."

Yu Tianyu closed his eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"I just want to hold you both and get some sleep. Purely sleep."

"Liar!" "Scoundrel!"

The two women cursed in unison.

But neither of them got up to leave.

That night, moonlight spilled through the window onto the bed.

Although the final step did not occur, the warmth and ambiguity of sleeping in each other's arms were more intoxicating than any intense passion.

Yu Tianyu knew that from this day forward.

These two most outstanding daughters of Heaven Dou City had been completely branded by him.

They weren't going anywhere.
