Xue Tianyu's Soul Ring Revealed, Skywater Academy in an Uproar!

At this point, Shui Bing'er paused, her expression turning serious.

"I brought him to the Soul Fighting Arena because I want to invite him to join our Skywater Team and prepare with everyone for the upcoming All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire Soul Fighting Arena instantly stagnated.

The team members who had followed along exchanged glances, their expressions full of confusion.

Xue Wu looked Xue Tianyu up and down, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with blatant skepticism.

"Bing'er, you aren't joking, are you?"

"Let him join the team?"

"This kid looks like he's barely over twelve years old; he hasn't even grown his feathers yet!"

"The Soul Master Tournament is a real, life-or-death struggle. Are you bringing him on to be a mascot?"

Facing Xue Wu's barrage of questions, Shui Bing'er was not angry; instead, she deliberately kept them in suspense.

"Xue Wu, don't judge a book by its cover."

"Tianyu's strength is absolutely beyond your imagination; even I am no match for him at all."

Once these words left her lips, Xue Wu and the others gasped in unison.

How could that be possible?

Shui Bing'er was the greatest genius Skywater Academy had seen in a century, having reached the level of a fortieth-level Soul Ancestor while still in her teens.

Could this boy, who hadn't even finished his youth, be stronger than a forty-third-level Soul Ancestor?

"I don't believe it!"

Xue Wu shook her head decisively, stepped forward, and stomped her long, straight legs heavily against the ground.

"Talk is cheap; the soul master world respects strength above all else."

"Kid, since Bing'er has hyped you up so much, do you dare to spar with me?"

Xue Tianyu lowered his eyelids, not even glancing at the challenge stance Xue Wu had taken.

"Not interested."

Rejected so bluntly, Xue Wu's competitive spirit was thoroughly ignited.

She puffed out her proud chest, a provocative smile curling at the corners of her lips as she boldly stepped two paces closer.

"What? Afraid of losing face in front of a girl?"

"How about this, let's make a bet."

"If you can beat me, this big sister will kiss you in front of everyone as a reward. Do you dare?"

Hearing this, Shui Bing'er stomped her feet in a panic and scolded loudly.

"Xue Wu! What are you messing around for? Back down now!"

She had seen with her own eyes the terrifying methods Xue Tianyu used to instantly kill a mercenary group, and she was terrified that Xue Wu would provoke this great deity.

Ice Emperor, who had been standing behind Xue Tianyu the entire time, felt her eyes turn cold.

A mere human ant, daring to tease Tianyu with such frivolous words right in front of her!

She is courting death!

Ice Emperor clenched her fists, a surge of extreme freezing air suddenly rising around her, and a thick layer of white frost instantly condensed on the blue crystal floor beneath her feet.

Just as she was about to step forward to strike, Xue Tianyu turned his head slightly, casting a calm yet highly oppressive gaze in her direction.

Ice Emperor's body stiffened. Despite her immense reluctance, she could only grit her teeth and retract her cold aura, glaring fiercely at Xue Wu.

Xue Tianyu turned back, his gaze calmly fixed on the curvaceous silver-haired girl before him.

"I don't like taking advantage of women, so let's skip such a boring bet."

"Since you want to fight, let's change the terms."

"If I win, the position of captain of the Skywater Team will be handed over to me."

Hearing such arrogant words, Xue Wu and the surrounding girls on the team were so angry they laughed.

What a big mouth!

He hadn't even summoned his Martial Soul, yet he dared to demand the position of captain!

Xue Wu put her hands on her hips and let out two loud laughs.

"Fine! As long as you have the ability, what does it matter if I let you be captain!"

"Enough talk! Show me whatever skills you have!"

Before the words had even faded, Xue Wu prepared to circulate her soul power to summon her Martial Soul.

However, in the next second, her movements froze completely in place.

Boom!

There were no unnecessary movements.

A terrifying pressure, almost tangible in its intensity, suddenly erupted from Xue Tianyu's slightly slender frame.

The air throughout the entire Soul Fighting Arena was instantly evacuated, becoming as heavy as if it had been filled with lead.

Suffocating waves of Soul Power surged outward in all directions like a mountain-toppling sea.

Xue Tianyu had not even summoned his Ice Phoenix martial soul.

He had merely released his own Soul Power Level.

Hum—hum—hum—hum—hum—

Accompanied by five deafening hums, five rings of profound, pitch-black light slowly rose from beneath his feet.

The black radiance pulsed violently in the air, exuding the wild, savage aura of ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

Level 58!

Five ten-thousand-year soul rings!

Dead silence.

The massive Soul Fighting Arena instantly fell into a bone-chilling, deathly silence.

Everyone stood frozen in place like wooden statues, as if struck by a binding spell.

The smile on Xue Wu's face solidified completely; her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at those five pitch-black soul rings, her breathing coming to a complete halt.

What kind of monster is this?!

A twelve-year-old Soul King?!

This not only shattered every cultivation record in the history of the soul master world, but it also trampled common sense into the dirt.

The onlookers from the other teams were terrified to the point of madness, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit a fist.

An all-black soul ring configuration!

Hasn't the soul master world always held an absolute limit on soul ring age?

The first soul ring could only withstand a maximum of four hundred years; forcing an absorption beyond that limit would only result in the body exploding.

Yet, this youth before them had a first soul ring that was actually at the ten-thousand-year level!

This simply defied all logic!

Shui Yue'er was completely stunned.

Her eyes shone as she gazed at Xue Tianyu's calm, peerless profile as he bathed in the black rings.

The violent pressure blew the hair on his forehead, and that domineering aura, which stood above all living beings, was deeply branded into her budding heart.

So handsome!

How could there be such a perfect man!

Shui Yue'er could only hear the sound of her own heart beating like a drum.

Xue Wu, standing opposite Xue Tianyu, was now suffering immensely.

Under the terrifying pressure of a Level 58 Soul King, her mere Level 38 Soul Power was suppressed to the point where she couldn't circulate even a sliver of it.

Her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and her bones even began to creak under the unbearable strain.

Level 38 versus Level 58?

How the hell is she supposed to fight this!

He could crush her into dust just by relying on his aura alone!

Shui Bing'er stood to the side, watching Xue Wu's terrified, trembling, and dazed expression, and nearly failed to hold back a laugh.

I told you not to provoke him, but you wouldn't listen; now you've kicked a steel plate, haven't you.

Ice Emperor stood with her arms crossed, looking at this group of frightened Tianshui students with utter disdain.

What a bunch of frogs in a well who have never seen the world.

To be scared into such a state by just this little display.

Xue Tianyu swept a faint glance at Xue Wu, retracted the mountain-toppling pressure slightly, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Do you still want to fight?"

As the pressure suddenly eased, Xue Wu gasped for air, her legs turning to jelly as she nearly collapsed to the ground.

She shook her head frantically like a rattle, not a trace of her previous arrogance remaining.

"No more fighting! No more!"

"I surrender! I am completely convinced!"
