After a friendly exchange, Yu Daoyun and the others entered the beast-fighting arena to sign up for a match.

The teacher at the arena glanced at them casually, a surprised expression on his face, before looking at Yu Daoyun.

It was better not to look, but looking made him jump.

An eight-year-old inner disciple, a level 36 Soul Elder, and his Martial Soul was the Golden Dragon.

When had the inner court produced such a terrifying genius?

The teacher at the arena asked, "How many years old of Soul Beast do you want to choose to fight? I must state beforehand, you must act within your capabilities. This is for your safety."

Yu Daoyun said seriously, "Teacher, please get me the strongest Soul Beast below five thousand years. I want to see where my limit lies. Preferably a strength-type Soul Beast."

"Are you sure?"

The teacher at the arena inquired.

Yu Daoyun nodded affirmatively. He wanted to challenge Soul Beasts below five thousand years to test his current strength.

Even though none of the eighteen seals of the Golden Dragon King had been broken, he wanted to know how much his strength had increased.

Seeing this, the teacher at the arena had no choice but to agree.

However, Beibei and the others were not calm.

The strongest Soul Beast below five thousand years? Was Yu Daoyun treating Soul Beasts like paper dolls? Did he really think he was a five-ringed Soul King?

The image of a newborn calf not fearing a tiger had truly materialized.

Tang Ya kindly reminded him, "Junior Daoyun, are you sure you can handle it? According to our academy's strength classification, only senior students at least at the Soul King level would dare to fight. You..."

There was something she was too embarrassed to say directly, which was that Yu Daoyun was too arrogant.

Tang Ya felt he shouldn't take such a risk.

Xu Sanshi scoffed, "He hasn't even grown all his hair, yet he dares to challenge the strongest Soul Beast below five thousand years. You're not even trying to impress girls this way. What if you get beaten black and blue? We won't save you."

Beibei also spoke up, urging Yu Daoyun to choose a lower-year Soul Beast.

To their surprise, Yu Daoyun ignored them completely and walked into the beast-fighting arena.

He was truly speechless.

Did they know what the Ancestor of Strength, the Golden Dragon, was? What a bunch of ignorant students, and so rude too.

The three of them, Beibei, stood there like clowns.

They had been looked down upon!

Xu Sanshi was instantly enraged and shouted, "Beibei, I really can't stand your arrogant cousin anymore. He clearly got in through the back door, yet he acts like he's the bee's knees. If people didn't know better, they'd think he was a real dragon."

"No, I can't stand this indignity anymore. I'm going in to watch him make a fool of himself."

With that, he followed.

Beibei sighed helplessly. After completing his registration, he also followed.

At this moment, in the specially cleared area of the beast-fighting arena.

Yu Daoyun arrived in the center, ready to participate in the battle.

"Cousin Daoyun, are you really choosing to challenge the strongest Soul Beast below five thousand years?" Beibei asked out of concern for his cousin.

Yu Daoyun nodded, then asked, "How many years did you choose?"

"I chose two thousand years. My limit might be here," Beibei replied.

Two thousand years?

Yu Daoyun was stunned. He hadn't expected Beibei to be so weak.

Two thousand years is your limit, but the strongest Soul Beast below five thousand years is not my limit.

Just then, the voice of the broadcast Soul Tool came, "Inner disciple Yu Daoyun, please prepare. Your opponent is a Great Strength Vajra Bear of four thousand three hundred years."

As the voice fell, the gazes of all the students in the arena shifted to Beibei and his group.

Inner disciple, red school uniform.

He must be that senior student, right?

But he was less than ten years old, and he dared to challenge the Great Strength Vajra Bear. Was he going to rewrite history?

Soon, under everyone's gaze, Yu Daoyun arrived in the open space.

The gate of the beast-fighting arena opened.

Before the Great Strength Vajra Bear even appeared, everyone could feel a suffocating aura, the oppressive pressure from a powerful Soul Beast.

Yu Daoyun smiled faintly at the pressure and said, "The aura is strong, but I wonder if its fists are hard enough."

The next moment, a giant Great Strength Vajra Bear rushed out of the gate, its massive claws tearing through the air with a sonic boom.

Yu Daoyun instantly revealed his Martial Soul, and the aura of the Golden Dragon surged forth.

His hand transformed into a dragon's claw, and he swung it out.

Crack, crack, crack--!

A grating sound echoed through the air. The Great Strength Vajra Bear's claws stopped just above Yu Daoyun's head, held back by golden dragon claws.

The next moment, Yu Daoyun roared, "Shatter for me!!"

All his strength converged, erupting with a sudden burst.

Boom!

Under everyone's gaze, the bear claws the Great Strength Vajra Bear prided itself on were brutally torn apart, blood gushing out.

Yu Daoyun seized the opportunity, raising his left hand sharply. His First Soul Ring lit up, and he shouted, "First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Fist!"

This punch landed squarely on the Great Strength Vajra Bear's belly, unleashing terrifying golden power.

Rumble--!

The Great Strength Vajra Bear was sent flying, letting out a howl.

Yu Daoyun's figure surged forward again, his fists covered in dragon scales, unleashing his Second Soul Skill, "Golden Dragon Blast."

Boom, boom, boom--!

Under a barrage of punches, the Great Strength Vajra Bear was sent flying, only to be hit by a continuous flurry of high-impact punches in mid-air.

A brutal, bloody scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

Yu Daoyun was like a berserk dragon, tearing apart the Great Strength Vajra Bear's claws and launching a relentless barrage of close-quarters combat.

A few minutes later, the Great Strength Vajra Bear slowly collapsed.

It wasn't dead, but it was beaten half to death.

Yu Daoyun looked at his fists and muttered, "It seems my strength has become this terrifying. Truly an overpowered stat monster!"

At this moment.

The spectating students were completely stunned.

Was this the renowned Inner Court Senior? Truly terrifying, capable of tearing apart Soul Beasts with his bare hands. What a freak!

Beibei and the others were also astonished.

The four-thousand-year-old Great Strength Vajra Bear was suppressed the moment it appeared, then beaten senseless.

The sounds of those flesh-rending blows couldn't be faked.

Tang Ya changed her previous opinion and praised, "Beibei, your cousin is truly formidable. As a fellow three-ringed Soul Elder, his strength is comparable to a five-ringed Soul King, even more powerful than I imagined."

She now felt an urge to recruit Yu Daoyun into the Tang Sect.

Beibei gave a bitter smile, unsure how to respond.

Tang Ya's praise for Yu Daoyun felt like a thorn in his heart.

As a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, the gap between him and Yu Daoyun was immense. No wonder Elder Mu had specially recruited that guy into the academy.

Yet, he couldn't help but feel a pang of unwillingness.

If he didn't possess the Light Holy Dragon bloodline, and only had the pure Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, would he be as outstanding as Yu Daoyun?

"Tang Ya, what are you saying?"

Xu Sanshi couldn't stand seeing his good brother slandered and said sternly, "How could Beibei be worse than him? As fellow three-ringed Soul Elders, Beibei is definitely stronger than him."

Tang Ya was speechless for a moment.

Did Xu Sanshi speak without thinking, just like her?

It was clearly impossible for Beibei to surpass Yu Daoyun.

One had to be realistic.

Just then, Yu Daoyun returned to the waiting area after leaving the stage. He glanced deeply at Xu Sanshi and asked, "I heard your Martial Soul is the Black Tortoise?"

Xu Sanshi raised his chin and said calmly, "That's right. My Martial Soul is the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Divine Beasts. It's no less than your Golden Dragon. I am the number one defense in the Outer Court."

Yu Daoyun replied, "Can you take one of my claws?"

Beibei and the other two were stunned.
