A Crushing Defeat? One Finger Was Enough?

Yu Tianheng's gaze turned slightly cold, his footsteps heavy, as though he wore an enormous hat on his head that weighed a thousand jun.

When he approached the group, he neither greeted "Xue Qinghe," the crown prince, nor said anything to Dugu Yan. His gaze settled firmly on Su Ye.

"Yu Tianheng, captain of the Imperial Fighting Team. Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Level thirty-nine attack-type battle Soul Elder."

"I heard what His Highness the Crown Prince said just now. I personally have no objection to this junior joining the Imperial Fighting Team, but..."

Arcs of electricity seemed to flash in Yu Tianheng's eyes, carrying a faint sense of pressure. As he spoke, he stepped forward again and said in a deep voice, "As the captain, it is only proper that I understand my teammates. Junior, would you let me see your strength, so I can have a better idea of what to expect?"

Qian Renxue watched the scene with amusement and had no intention of stopping it.

She had long found this bastard unpleasant.

What was this nonsense? She was clearly right here, yet he still had his mind on other women.

It was not that she had fallen for Su Ye or anything. She simply felt that her charm had been greatly insulted.

He clearly knew her identity, yet he still ignored her like this. How could the ever-proud Little Angel endure that?

The fact that she had not personally made a move already counted as considerable restraint. Now that someone was willing to do the work for free, she naturally would not stop them.

But just because she did not think so did not mean that no one else did.

"Yu Tianheng, what are you in such a hurry for? Su Ye hasn't even officially enrolled yet."

Dugu Yan had a fairly good impression of Su Ye. He was handsome and had good taste.

Besides, she had been planning to investigate his intentions afterward. What was Yu Tianheng causing trouble for at a time like this?

More importantly, Su Ye was too mysterious. Her instincts told her that Yu Tianheng was most likely no match for him.

She thought fairly well of Yu Tianheng and did not want to see him bring humiliation upon himself.

However, in Yu Tianheng's eyes, all of this took on an entirely different meaning. His pupils widened slightly, nearly spewing fire.

She was defending him?

Yan Yan was actually defending some guy who had appeared out of nowhere?

And besides, she had always called him Tianheng before. Yet this time, because of this guy, she actually...

Yu Tianheng felt as though his lungs were about to explode from rage. The way he looked at Su Ye grew increasingly hostile. "Junior, why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you're scared?"

"Heh. If you're afraid of getting hurt, then I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible. Don't set foot in the world of Soul Masters again."

"The world of Soul Masters has always been accompanied by blood and chaos. It is not suited for certain timid and cowardly people."

[I had no intention of dealing with you, yet you had to push your luck, didn't you?]

[Blue Lightning Twin Stars, heh. What an impressive title!]

A disdainful sneer curled across Su Ye's lips. In his eyes, Yu Tianheng was nothing more than a clown.

[He's already in his twenties, and his Soul Power is only level thirty-nine. Yet people praise him to the skies for this? How ridiculous.]

[With that? Forget Tang San, that cheat—even Spirit Hall's three are far beyond him. I really don't know how the mighty Upper Three Sects had the nerve to boast about that title.]

[To deal with trash like him, one finger from this young master is more than enough!]

The diary updated, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Little Fox, who was preparing to set off for Heaven Dou, broke into a smile and secretly felt pleased with herself.

Exactly. How could the geniuses of the Upper Three Sects compare with her? They simply were not worthy.

Su Ye really did have good judgment, knowing that...

Ah, wait. Something seemed wrong.

If she had understood correctly, didn't that mean he was saying she was inferior to Tang San?

Hu Liena immediately refused to accept that. But on second thought, Tang San was someone destined to become a god in the future. It was normal that she could not compare to him.

And this Su Ye, wasn't he being far too arrogant?

He only needed one finger to deal with Yu Tianheng?

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was extremely formidable. Even though she did not think much of Yu Tianheng, she would not dare claim that she could crush him with a flick of her finger.

Was this guy just getting carried away?

Mm, he had to be. Otherwise, that would be far too terrifying.

Hu Liena was not the only one. The others had much the same reaction upon reading the diary. They were shocked at first, then all expressed their disbelief.

Dugu Yan especially gritted her silver teeth, her gaze toward Su Ye nearly spitting fire.

Although he had not mentioned her at all throughout the passage, she still felt as though he had taken a jab at her.

She was around the same age as Yu Tianheng, and her Soul Power was even one level lower than his. If Yu Tianheng was just roadside trash, then what was she?

"Hmph, keep boasting. I don't believe it at all."

Dugu Yan muttered softly, her lovely face seemingly filled with indignation.

Ye Lingling did not echo her words. Unlike her close friend, she did not think Su Ye was merely bragging.

What Su Ye gave her was the impression of genuine confidence and disdain, neither of which seemed fake.

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered slightly, and her gaze toward Su Ye seemed to gain a little more interest.

"Blood and chaos?"

Su Ye laughed softly. "You make it sound so grand, as if you've actually experienced it."

He was nothing more than a flower raised in a greenhouse.

If they were truly comparing experiences, Su Ye had struggled his way through life for many years. He had seen far more than Yu Tianheng ever had.

"You..."

"Enough nonsense. Don't you just want to fight? Make your move!"

Su Ye waved a hand, interrupting him. His posture was relaxed and casual.

"Hmph. To the Soul Fighting Arena."

Seeing Su Ye agree, Yu Tianheng could not be bothered to argue over anything else. Words were useless; he would let this guy experience the power of his fists soon enough.

"There's no need to go through all that trouble. We'll do it here. It'll be over soon anyway."

Su Ye spoke again, leaving Yu Tianheng's raised leg suspended in midair. His entire body seemed to freeze.

He turned and stared fixedly at Su Ye, his voice abruptly turning cold. "Arrogant. No one has ever dared to look down on me like this. Today, I will make you understand the might of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

He understood what Su Ye meant. Not only was it deeply insulting, it was also highly aggravating. He exploded with anger in an instant.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

Yu Tianheng shouted lowly. A phantom of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appeared behind him, followed by lightning coiling around his body. Dragon scales covered his flesh as his Martial Soul fully possessed him.

"The might of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?" Su Ye curled his lips, utterly dismissive.

"Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng was completely enraged. Not only did this guy want to steal his woman, he even looked down on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Kid, you truly had a Way of Seeking Death.

As the Spirit Ring beneath his feet flashed, Yu Tianheng's Dragon Transformation arm swelled massively. Blue scales covered it, sharp claws extended, and thunder crackled explosively.

He swept out with a claw, its momentum terrifying enough to make the air itself seem to warp.

Qian Renxue nodded slightly. Though it was nothing in her eyes, she had to admit that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon truly was one of the continent's finest Beast Spirits.

Especially after Dragon Transformation, its combat power against opponents of the same rank was extraordinarily formidable.

"How will you respond?"

Qian Renxue shifted her gaze toward Su Ye. Naturally, she did not believe the diary's contents either, but she believed Su Ye would definitely win.

What a joke. If he lost, wouldn't that mean she had misjudged him?

"A spatial Martial Soul, perhaps... what?"
