Ice Phoenix VS Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! Overestimating Oneself!

As these words were spoken, the entire Imperial Fighting Team camp fell silent for a brief moment.

Immediately following, an unprecedented burst of raucous laughter erupted.

Yu Feng laughed so hard he couldn't even straighten his back, pointing in the direction of Xue Tianyu.

"Did I hear that right? Captain?"

"Skywater Academy actually found a boy who hasn't even grown his hair out to be their captain?"

"Even if you've given up on yourselves, you didn't have to find such a pretty vase to make up the numbers!"

The surprise on Dugu Yan's face grew even more intense as she looked Xue Tianyu up and down.

This little fellow looked at most twelve or thirteen years old, several years younger than her; how could he possibly be the captain of this group of proud and arrogant Skywater girls?

Qian Renxue also found it absurd.

She had seen countless people, and although there was not a shred of soul power leaking from this youth, making him look like an ordinary person, the way Shui Bing'er was protecting him from the bottom of her heart was definitely not fake.

This youth was definitely not simple.

Facing the jeers of the Imperial Fighting Team, Xue Tianyu didn't even lift an eyelid.

He glanced sideways at Yu Tianheng, his voice as calm as a stagnant well.

"You don't believe it?"

The two light words carried an immense penetrating power, drowning out the laughter of the entire arena.

Yu Tianheng clenched his dragon-transformed fist, electricity crackling and hissing, his eyes filled with violence.

"Playing god!"

"Beat me and I'll believe it! If you have the guts, get on the stage!"

The members of the Imperial Fighting Team followed suit, jeering and mocking him one after another.

"Hurry up and go get beaten up, little captain!"

"Don't go crying home to your mommy after you get hit!"

In stark contrast to the noise of the Imperial Fighting Team was the deathly silence on the side of Skywater Academy.

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, and the others all remained silent, even spontaneously stepping back half a pace to clear a path for Xue Tianyu.

Far from feeling any worry, their hearts were filled with extreme anticipation.

Of all the people to provoke, they just had to provoke this monster who could casually unleash power on the level of a Titled Douluo!

Xue Tianyu did not speak.

He lifted his foot and, unhurriedly, took the first step toward the arena.

The sole of his shoe landed on the stone slab, making an extremely faint sound.

The moment this footfall landed:

Hum--!

The void shook violently.

A soul ring, deep and dark as ink, rose slowly from beneath Xue Tianyu's feet.

As the black light swirled, a pressure as heavy as a mountain instantly swept across the entire arena.

The laughter of the Imperial Fighting Team, who had been laughing wantonly just a moment ago, was cut off as if a pair of invisible hands had suddenly choked them by the throat.

Yu Tianheng's pupils contracted sharply, staring at that circle of black halo.

A ten-thousand-year soul ring!

The first ring is already at the ten-thousand-year level?!

How is this possible!

Qian Renxue's hand, which was holding a teacup, tightened abruptly, the shock in her eyes turning into horror.

The soul shock from absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring was enough to turn any low-level soul master into an idiot; how could he possibly have withstood it on his first ring!

Xue Tianyu's expression remained unchanged as he took his second step.

As his foot landed:

Hum!

Another identical black soul ring burst forth, shining in tandem with the first.

The pressure brought by the overlapping of two ten-thousand-year soul rings caused the temperature of the surrounding air to plummet, and a layer of fine frost even formed on the ground.

Dual ten-thousand-year soul rings!

Yu Tianheng gasped, a cold sweat instantly breaking out on his back, his voice trembling.

"Impossible... this is absolutely impossible!"

Qian Renxue could no longer sit still; she stood up directly from her chair in the VIP box, staring fixedly at Xue Tianyu's figure.

The scene that followed became a nightmare that every member of the Imperial Fighting Team present would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Xue Tianyu took one step, one soul ring appeared, walking steadily onto the arena.

At the third step, the third black soul ring.

At the fourth step, the fourth black soul ring.

When he stopped and stood firmly opposite Yu Tianheng, the fifth black soul ring roared into existence!

Five deep, abyssal ten-thousand-year soul rings pulsed rhythmically around his slender frame.

The entire training ground fell into a deathly silence.

Only the freezing light emitted by those five black soul rings stung everyone's eyes.

Five ten-thousand-year soul rings!

This twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was actually a Soul King!

And it was an unprecedented configuration of five black rings that completely subverted the common sense of the soul master world!

Yu Tianheng's legs trembled uncontrollably; he shook his head frantically, unable to believe his own eyes.

"Fake! It's all an illusion!"

"How could there be a monster in this world whose first ring is ten thousand years old! You must be using some kind of Soul Tool to deceive our vision!"

Qian Renxue's heart was currently churning with monstrous waves, finding the situation utterly absurd.

She prided herself on being the most talented person on the Douluo Continent, possessing Innate Full Soul Power of level twenty and being personally mentored by her grandfather.

Yet, she was several years older than this boy, and her cultivation was only at the Soul King realm.

Furthermore, her soul ring configuration was merely the limit of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.

The boy before her had appeared with five ten-thousand-year soul rings, crushing her pride into dust.

The members of the Imperial Fighting Team were terrified; Yu Feng's legs even gave out, causing him to collapse directly onto the ground.

A flash of madness and unwillingness flickered in Yu Tianheng's eyes.

He refused to believe that a peer could be this strong!

"I will tear away your disguise!"

Yu Tianheng roared, the third purple soul ring on his body shining brilliantly.

Thunder Fury was instantly activated, and violent blue lightning rendered him like a god of thunder.

His dragon-transformed right arm, carrying the power of heaven-destroying lightning, smashed fiercely toward Xue Tianyu's face.

Facing this massive, momentum-filled strike, Xue Tianyu didn't even intend to release his martial soul.

He simply raised his right hand casually and pressed down lightly into the void.

Boom—!

A heavy, freezing pressure, as if materialized, descended from thin air.

Yu Tianheng's destructive lightning assault couldn't even hold up for half a second against this power before instantly dissipating into nothingness.

"Crack!"

The hard arena floor cracked over a large area.

Yu Tianheng felt as if a ten-thousand-foot iceberg had slammed onto his shoulders, his bones groaning under the unbearable weight.

With no power to resist, his knees smashed through the stone slabs, forcing him to kneel directly before Xue Tianyu!

The entire arena was silent.

There was no earth-shattering clash, no flashy exchange of soul skills.

It was merely a casual pressing motion.

The captain of the Imperial Fighting Team, famous throughout Heaven Dou, a level forty Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Ancestor, was kneeling miserably at the feet of a twelve-year-old boy.

"Beautiful!"

Xue Wu jumped up in excitement, waving her fists, her face filled with triumphant pride.

Shui Yue'er, Yu Hairou, and the others hugged each other and cheered.

Shui Bing'er stood at the edge of the arena, watching the tall figure in white, standing with his hands behind his back.

A bright, happy smile bloomed on her usually cold face, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

The geniuses of the Imperial Fighting Team were all petrified where they stood.

The scene unfolding before them had completely shattered their psychological defenses.

They could not accept, and refused to accept, this cruel reality.
