Looking down from above.

Ice-blue vertical pupils stared down at Yu Tianheng with indifference.

Like a monarch gazing upon one of the many defeated foes on the path to the throne.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is nothing more than this..."

A sentence so flat it lacked any fluctuation in tone.

Yet it was more piercing than any sharp weapon.

For someone like Yu Tianheng, who once took pride in his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and looked down upon the martial souls of others.

Feeling the immense gap between his own martial soul and another's was no different from the sky collapsing.

And what caused his world to crumble even more than Yu Shuangbai's words was the trembling and fear emanating from his own martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

No matter how hard he tried to restrain it, that fear stemming from the depths of his bloodline lingered in his heart, impossible to dissipate.

What exactly was it?

Looking at the ice-blue dragon horns atop Yu Shuangbai's head, Yu Tianheng's heart was filled with confusion.

What kind of martial soul could cause the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon to react in such a way?

Such a thing was unheard of to them!

Yu Tianheng, of course, could not understand.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was considered high-tier among all dragon-type martial souls.

Usually, even if there were dragon-type martial souls of other species that were slightly superior, the degree of superiority would not be significant.

Unless there was a massive gap in cultivation, it would never produce this sense of trembling from the depths of the bloodline.

But Yu Shuangbai's martial soul was the Ice Dragon King.

A martial soul that should not have appeared on a human.

Looking across the entire history of the Douluo Continent, it was unprecedented.

Naturally, there would be no prior examples to draw from.

"Ridiculous pride, pathetic strength."

Leaving these words behind coldly.

Yu Shuangbai withdrew his gaze, turned, and stepped off the stage.

The cold air around his body dissipated, and the ice-blue dragon horns on his head gradually vanished.

His majestic vertical pupils reverted, returning to their usual appearance.

Collapsing on the ground, Yu Tianheng struggled to raise his arm to shield his eyes.

The sunlight overhead made his eyes ache.

The outcome was decided.

The audience stands were silent.

"Tianheng!"

Yu Tianxin, captain of the Thunder Academy team and the other half of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's twin stars, hurried forward.

He hastily signaled for the medical soul masters to take Yu Tianheng away for treatment.

"Brother Shuangbai, awesome!"

Feng Xiaotian gave a thumbs up, sighing with genuine admiration.

As an old rival, he was well aware of Yu Tianheng's strength.

Although Feng Xiaotian was confident he could defeat him, he asked himself, he could not have achieved such a crushing victory as Yu Shuangbai.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

This sparring match was never an evenly matched battle, but a one-sided rout.

Huo Wu's eyes were sparkling with brilliance.

She had an extremely strong personality.

She had always admired the strong.

Now, she even harbored thoughts of wanting to challenge Yu Shuangbai.

Had her brother Huo Wushuang not been there to stop her, she might have already issued a challenge.

"So cool, Shuangbai!"

Shui Yue'er flushed with excitement.

"That'll show that arrogant Yu Tianheng."

She wrinkled her delicate little nose.

"The people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have always been arrogant, looking down their noses at everyone; I've long found them insufferable!"

Shui Yue'er waved her small pink fist, looking thoroughly satisfied.

Shui Bing'er, standing to the side, remained silent due to her more composed nature.

Yet, the expression on her small face subtly conveyed her inner thoughts.

"It is nothing," Yu Shuangbai said with an indifferent expression.

He was not excited by the victory.

After all, in his view, this was merely a matter of course.

The Ice Dragon King martial soul possessed a bloodline suppression over the vast majority of dragon-type martial souls.

Furthermore, he had been receiving meticulous guidance from the two peak powerhouses, the Ice and Snow Emperors.

If he could not defeat Yu Tianheng, he might as well find a wall and bash his head against it.

Had Yu Tianheng not sought trouble, Yu Shuangbai would not have even considered making a move.

Although he did not like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

There was, after all, no substantial enmity between them.

"However, Young Master Yu, you might want to be careful."

Shui Bing'er suddenly spoke up.

"That last sentence you said might reach the ears of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"They..."

"Are not exactly known for their magnanimity."

Shui Bing'er spoke cryptically, but everyone understood her meaning perfectly.

Yu Shuangbai defeating Yu Tianheng was not an issue at all.

After all, this sparring match had been initiated by Yu Tianheng in the first place.

But the parting words he left after winning—

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is nothing more than this."

If those words reached the ears of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

It would clearly incite their resentment.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had never been a broad-minded sect.

Yu Tianheng, one of their twin stars, was a microcosm of their nature.

They were incredibly proud and obsessed with their reputation.

Because of the title of "World's Number One Assault-type Beast Martial Soul," they had always been at odds with the Star Luo Imperial Family.

If they learned that Yu Shuangbai had openly looked down upon the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, they might feel their sect's honor had been insulted and seek revenge in the shadows.

However...

"Then let them come."

Yu Shuangbai remained devoid of any worry.

The threat of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

He feared it not in the slightest!

Beside him, the Snow Emperor crossed her arms, her expression placid:

"Any troublesome pests, this Emperor will handle."

Her tone was light and breezy, as if she were merely stating a simple fact.

A mere Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not worth her concern.

If anyone truly lacked the eyes to see and came looking for trouble.

Her Emperor Sword had not tasted blood in a long time.

The group fell silent.

They were secretly shocked.

What exactly were the identities of these two?

To hold even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the third-ranked sect in the world, in such utter contempt.

Shui Bing'er was also stunned.

She knew from Shui Rou'er that the Snow Emperor was an extraordinary senior.

But judging by her dismissive attitude toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, she seemed even more terrifying than she had imagined.

Dugu Yan, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke.

She was unwilling to believe what Yu Shuangbai had said regarding the lethal poison coursing through her and her grandfather Dugu Bo.

However, looking at Yu Shuangbai's performance just now and the Snow Emperor's utter disdain for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Everything pointed to the fact that their origins were extraordinary.

So much so that a thought began to grow uncontrollably and wildly within Dugu Yan's heart.

Could it be...

Was everything he said true?!

Had she and her grandfather truly been afflicted with a lethal poison all this time?!

Thinking this, after a moment of hesitation, Dugu Yan finally spoke:

"Can you come with me?"

"My grandfather is currently in Heaven Dou City; would you be willing to come and meet him with me?"

"Of course." Yu Shuangbai agreed without the slightest hesitation.

This was the very purpose of his trip, so naturally, he had no reason to refuse.

He had not expected that merely fighting Yu Tianheng would be enough to make Dugu Yan start to believe him.

It could be considered a worthwhile effort to have beaten that guy up.

Indeed, facts were always more persuasive than any words.
