Hammering Osler! (Please Keep Reading)

Lu Qibin saw Qin Ming's concern. "Qin Ming, don't underestimate Little Monster. At Blue Tyrant Academy, Tailong of the Strength Clan was level twenty-nine a year ago, and even he was no match for Little Monster!"

Qin Ming looked surprised.

"Looks like I still underestimated my junior. Teacher, you can stay here for now. Tomorrow, I'll arrange for Little Monster to fight them!"

Qin Ming was overjoyed.

"Just watch, Senior. I'll definitely beat them until they learn shame and strive to improve!"

Tie Xiong said confidently.

Qin Ming was somewhat stirred as well. "Don't underestimate your opponents. This batch of Heaven Supreme Grade students is far from simple. Their captain is Yu Tianheng, a genius from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He's fifteen this year and already a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster!

There are also two brothers with Black Tortoise Turtle Martial Souls. The Black Tortoise Turtle is a Martial Soul renowned alongside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, one of the very best defensive Martial Souls.

There's also a girl named Dugu Yan. Her Martial Soul is the Jade Scale Snake, and she has an inseparable connection to Jade Phosphorus Douluo. Her strength is terrifying!"

So it really was those people.

"I like hammering geniuses the most. If they're not geniuses, I won't even bother hammering them!"

Tie Xiong grinned.

Qin Ming could not help laughing. He had truly gotten a glimpse of his junior's personality.

At the same time, he sighed for his own disciples. You'd better pray for yourselves!

The next day, Tie Xiong followed Qin Ming, brimming with fighting spirit, into a bright yellow building.

After entering, Tie Xiong discovered that there was far more inside than met the eye. The dome was over ten zhang high, with trees, enormous rocks, and small hills below.

This was actually a Mimicry Environment meant for real combat.

At this moment, seven young men and women were already there, all appearing to be around fifteen or sixteen.

Tie Xiong widened his eyes. Among them, the most eye-catching was a young woman.

She leaned lazily against a cyan boulder. Her dark purple short hair fell to her shoulders, looking smooth and flowing, while her green eyes shone brightly.

Most importantly, she wore a sky-blue dress that fully displayed her graceful figure.

Not bad! Not bad!

This had to be Dugu Yan.

Tie Xiong looked over the others.

Yu Tianheng wore a fitted blue outfit, his long black hair hanging behind him. With his arms folded across his chest and his stance so imposing, he looked like the boss, and Tie Xiong found him dangerous.

Yu Tianheng, you really know how to put on airs. Just wait and see how I hammer you later.

Judging by Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng's demeanor, they probably had not gotten together yet.

Golden short hair and handsome features—this was Yu Feng of the Wind Bell Bird.

Dressed entirely in black, with looks comparable to a woman's—this was Osler of the Ghost Leopard.

Then there were two burly men with square mouths and straight noses. They had to be Shi Mo and Shi Mo of the Black Tortoise Turtle.

The last person stood in a corner. With black gauze covering her face, a slender figure, and waterfall-like blue hair cascading down her back, she was likely Ye Lingling of the Nine Heart Begonia.

When Yu Tianheng and the others saw Tie Xiong enter behind Qin Ming, they all raised their heads and stared at him.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Tie Xiong!"

He greeted them with a cheerful grin.

"Little brother, you're Teacher Qin's junior? You're so tiny. Come, let big sister have a look!"

Dugu Yan gave a seductive smile.

As she spoke, Dugu Yan walked over and pinched Tie Xiong's cheek.

"Big sister, I'm already nine years old! I'm not small!"

Tie Xiong giggled.

Dugu Yan burst into crisp laughter.

Was this brat doing it deliberately or not?

Why did that sound so suggestive?

"Such a cheeky little brat!"

Dugu Yan blinked her jade-green eyes.

"Teacher!"

While Dugu Yan greeted Tie Xiong, the others addressed Qin Ming.

A glint flashed through Qin Ming's eyes. "Little Monster is my junior, but he is also a genius Soul Master. Today, he will be your opponent. I hope one of you can defeat him. If you lose, I will punish you!"

Tie Xiong stepped into the field, and the Heaven Breaking Hammer appeared in his right hand.

A deep yellow Soul Ring lit up. "Tie Xiong, level nineteen Soul Master, Martial Soul: Heaven Breaking Hammer. Please offer your guidance!"

Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Osler all looked at each other. Only level nineteen?

Teacher Qin, you're looking down on us too much.

Even the weakest among us is level twenty-five.

"Osler, Martial Soul: Ghost Leopard, level twenty-six Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Please offer your guidance!"

Osler stepped forward.

His strength was inferior to Yu Tianheng and the others.

However, the Ghost Leopard Martial Soul was incredibly fast, while Tie Xiong wielded the Heaven Breaking Hammer and was clearly a Power-type Soul Master. Perhaps he could counter him.

Qin Ming watched Tie Xiong with great interest from the side.

At last, he would get to witness Little Monster's strength.

"Ghost Leopard, possess!"

Osler shouted. His hair changed from gold to black, his face grew even paler, and his hands turned into sharp claws.

Two yellow Soul Rings rose beneath his feet.

He stood poised and ready.

Tie Xiong crooked a finger, signaling for Osler to attack first.

How arrogant!

Osler flew into a rage.

Since that was the case, I won't hold back.

His first Soul Ring lit up—Leopard Shadow Raid!

Osler's figure blurred. His speed increased by at least twice, and the claws on his hands extended and lengthened as he transformed into an afterimage charging toward Tie Xiong.

Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng both stared intently at Tie Xiong, wanting to see how he would respond. Perhaps the battle would end with this very first attack.

Osler's first Soul Skill, Leopard Shadow Raid, was a single-target attack skill that increased both attack power and speed, a typical Agility-Attack Type Soul Skill.

Moreover, Osler's Ghost Leopard was among the finest Agility-Attack Martial Souls. Even with just his first Soul Skill, his attack power and speed had both increased by more than double.

Tie Xiong appeared to stand there without reacting.

In reality, his mind was highly focused as he sensed his surroundings.

His sparring partners were all powerful Soul Kings and Soul Emperors. His perception of battle was exceptionally sharp.

Suddenly, Tie Xiong stepped forward with his right foot and swept the Heaven Breaking Hammer toward his rear right.

With a clang, a figure was sent flying back several steps. It was Osler.

Osler's face was full of shock. "How did you find me?"

His first Soul Skill combined speed and attack. Ordinary people could not react in time before being struck.

Yet Tie Xiong seemed to have eyes on his back, striking his claws directly.

Tie Xiong smiled calmly and waved his hammer, signaling him to continue.

"Watch carefully!"

Seeing Tie Xiong's dismissive expression, Osler's heart surged with boundless fury.

I admit you have some ability, but you're looking down on me too much.

Osler erupted.

Left, right, front, back, above, below.

Osler's afterimages filled every direction around Tie Xiong. He pushed his first Soul Skill to its limits, attacking Tie Xiong without pause.

But in Qin Ming and the others' eyes, Tie Xiong merely shifted about within a radius of one zhang around himself. Every strike of the Heaven Breaking Hammer landed precisely in Osler's path of attack.

On top of that, Tie Xiong's strength was no small matter. Osler was sent flying several meters away time and again.

Ghost Leopard Hundred Slashes!

Osler's second Soul Ring lit up.

This time, Osler shot toward Tie Xiong's face, claws reaching out at high speed.

Tie Xiong still answered with a single hammer strike, but he could clearly sense that Osler's claw attack was anything but ordinary.

Before the claws even arrived, the force of their momentum had already struck his body.

This should be the effect of a Soul Skill.
