The two stood no more than three meters apart when a scarlet halo flashed in the depths of Ling Xiao's eyes.

The single yellow soul ring beneath his feet lit up!

"First Soul Skill: Scarlet Dream Entanglement!"

An invisible surge of spiritual power swept outward, locking onto Yu Tianxin and charging straight into his sea of consciousness!

Yu Tianxin felt his vision blur violently, his mind instantly turning blank.

An uncontrollable sense of intimacy and submission toward the youth before him welled up within him.

The Thunder Claw soul skill he was in the middle of releasing was forcibly interrupted!

The violent power of lightning dissipated in his palm.

He froze in place, his eyes losing focus, unable to take any further action!

While the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul was indeed the continent's strongest assault-type beast martial soul, Yu Tianxin was, after all, only level 24.

His spiritual power was far inferior to Ling Xiao's.

The moment Yu Tianxin was controlled by the soul skill, Ling Xiao had already rushed before him.

The long spear in his hand swept horizontally, carrying the force of Thousand Jun, and smashed fiercely into Yu Tianxin's chest!

"Bang!"

A dull, thunderous sound rang out.

Like a kite with a broken string, Yu Tianxin was sent flying by the strike of the spear.

He crashed heavily onto the ground over ten meters away, sliding several meters further before coming to a stop.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul on his body instantly dissipated.

One move, a crushing defeat!

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood frozen in place.

They stared at the fallen Yu Tianxin in stunned silence, then looked at Ling Xiao, who stood in the center of the arena holding his spear.

Their faces were etched with disbelief.

One move!

Only one move!

Yu Tianxin, one of the proud Blue Lightning Twin Stars and a level 24 assault-type Soul Grand Master, had actually been sent flying by a single strike from a youth who had just broken through to level 20 and possessed only one soul ring?

How could this be possible?!

"Tianxin!"

Yu Tianheng's expression changed drastically; he immediately rushed over to help the fallen Yu Tianxin up.

He checked his injuries and, finding only a fractured sternum with no threat to his life, breathed a sigh of relief.

He then raised his head, his gaze toward Ling Xiao filled with gravity and shock.

Ling Xiao had not used lethal force with that spear strike; he had merely sent him flying.

Had the spear tip been pointed forward, Yu Tianxin would be a corpse right now.

Ling Xiao's terrifying spiritual control soul skill was capable of restraining Yu Tianxin in an instant, even forcibly interrupting his soul skill.

Such a soul skill was simply heaven-defying!

"Junior Brother! You're amazing!"

Hu Liena cheered, hurrying to Ling Xiao's side.

She looked at the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with a smug expression, lifting her chin as she said:

"Now, you've lost! According to our agreement, it's time to apologize to me!"

The few collateral disciples who had been gossiping earlier turned deathly pale.

Gone was their previous arrogance; the looks they cast toward Ling Xiao were filled with fear.

The youth before them was simply a monster!

Defeating Yu Tianxin in one move—with strength like this, crushing them would be as easy as crushing ants!

The cold glint of Ling Xiao's spear tip pointed toward those disciples once more.

"Apologize!"

The wind in the forest swirled with fallen leaves, blowing across the deathly silent battlefield.

Yet, it could not blow away the shock on the faces of those present.

Yu Tianxin lay on the ground.

Waves of sharp pain surged from his chest, and his vision continued to blacken.

His mind was a complete blank.

Only one thought echoed repeatedly.

He lost!

And in just one move!

How could this be?

He hadn't even managed to fully unleash his soul skill before being swept away by a spear, without a chance to retaliate.

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms.

More than the physical pain, the humiliation and unwillingness in his heart burned him like a raging fire.

"Tianxin! How are you?"

Yu Tianheng asked with concern.

He knew Yu Tianxin's strength.

Among those of the same age, Yu Tianxin was definitely in the top tier, if not the absolute best.

Even he himself would have to put in considerable effort to defeat Yu Tianxin.

Ling Xiao's terrifying mental control soul skill had actually bypassed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's soul power defense, directly invading the mind and forcibly interrupting the soul skill.

Such a method was simply unheard of.

This matter, from the very beginning, was their side that was in the wrong.

Their fellow disciple had spoken disrespectfully first, and Yu Tianxin had actively challenged him afterward.

Now that they had lost, if they continued to pester, it would only bring shame to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

With this thought, Yu Tianheng took a deep breath.

He handed Yu Tianxin over to his fellow disciples to support him, then turned and quickly walked up to Ling Xiao.

He bowed deeply to Ling Xiao and Hu Liena, performing a standard apology.

"Brother, and Miss, what happened today was our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's fault."

Yu Tianheng's attitude was sincere, without any shirking.

"My fellow disciple spoke disrespectfully and offended Miss with his words; I did not discipline him properly."

"Tianxin actively challenged, and being inferior in skill, he lost the match, so there's nothing more to say."

"I am here to sincerely apologize to Miss and Brother Ling Xiao on their behalf."

As he spoke, he bowed again, his attitude impeccable.

Hu Liena snorted and was about to say something more when Ling Xiao raised his hand to stop her.

Ling Xiao looked at Yu Tianheng, who was bowing in apology, and slowly retracted the long spear in his hand.

"An apology is not necessary. I only hope that the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will mind their mouths when they go out in the future."

"The reputation of the Upper Three Sects is not earned by bullying others; don't disgrace the sect's name."

The purpose of this trip was to hunt for a second spirit ring; there was no need to fall out with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Tianheng had provided a sufficient way out, so he naturally wouldn't press the issue.

"Yes, Brother, you are right."

Yu Tianheng immediately responded, then turned and glared fiercely at the collateral disciples who had spoken disrespectfully, scolding them sternly:

"Why aren't you coming over to apologize quickly!"

Those disciples' faces turned pale; they had lost all their previous arrogance.

They quickly ran over with their heads bowed, repeatedly bowing to Hu Liena:

"Miss, we're sorry, we were foul-mouthed, we were talking nonsense, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us."

"Hmph, I'll let it go this time."

Hu Liena raised her chin, her expression proud.

"If I ever hear you gossiping again, it won't be as simple as an apology!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we won't dare to again!"

The few disciples quickly agreed.

"Little junior brother, amazing!"

Hu Liena turned around, her eyes on Ling Xiao, her face filled with pride as if his achievements were her own.

Although she had spoken of worry earlier, she knew Ling Xiao's strength in her heart.

After all, even when she was level twenty-nine, she couldn't gain an advantage against Ling Xiao, let alone the careless Yu Tianxin who had underestimated him.

Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly and smiled at her, saying nothing.

On the other side, Yu Tianxin was helped to his feet by his fellow disciples.

A sharp pain in his chest forced a muffled groan from his throat.

He stared fixedly at Ling Xiao's back, his arrogant eyes filled with venom and resentment.

His teeth ground together with a rhythmic clicking sound, yet he dared not utter a single word.

He knew all too well that he was no match for Ling Xiao at this moment.

If he were to truly kick up a fuss, he would only be the one to suffer.

He committed this humiliation to memory.

For today's disgrace, he, Yu Tianxin, would sooner or later pay it back tenfold!
