Such a Cute and Domineering Junior, I'm Already Wet...

The spider legs behind Lin Nuo seemed to have come completely alive.

Thanks to the powerful physical enhancement brought by Martial Soul Possession, he did not retreat. Instead, he leaped into the air like Gui Mei.

From an unbelievably tricky angle, he slipped through a blind spot in the raging lightning web and closed in, arriving before Yu Tianheng in an instant.

"Damn it, how was he so fast?!"

Yu Tianheng's face changed drastically. In his haste, he instinctively raised his dragon claw crackling with violent lightning and lunged for Lin Nuo's face.

However, accompanied by a piercing screech,

the Thunder Dragon Claw was once again effortlessly blocked by the Death Demon Scythe in Lin Nuo's hand.

Moreover, the purple-black blade aura surging from the Magic Scythe sliced through Yu Tianheng's prized dragon-scale defense as easily as cutting tofu!

Lin Nuo reacted swiftly. The deep-purple Millennium Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly shone brilliantly.

"Second Soul Skill, Vampire Spider Thorn!"

In an instant, two thick lower spider legs on Lin Nuo's back shot forward, their tips gleaming with a chilling crimson light.

With two muffled splatters, the sharp spider thorns pierced straight through the gaps in the dragon scales and brutally penetrated Yu Tianheng's shoulder blades!

Immediately afterward, an icy poison carrying intense paralysis flooded wildly into Yu Tianheng's body through the spider thorns.

He only felt the blood and Soul Power within him being madly drained through the wounds like floodwaters bursting through a dam.

His once swollen, sturdy dragonified body visibly withered, and in an instant, he could not summon even the slightest bit of strength.

Without a doubt, a move with blood-draining and highly poisonous properties like this

would, in the era ten thousand years later, when some "Lord God King" had set the rules,

definitely be branded as the technique of an "Evil Soul Master,"

and would warrant at least a sentence to the Way of Seeking Death.

But in this age, when Spirit Hall suppressed the continent, though it looked somewhat vicious,

it was merely a standard ruthless tactic in the life-and-death battles of Soul Masters, nowhere near enough to count as the Way of Seeking Death.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng was like a sick cat whose teeth had been pulled, held rigidly in midair by Lin Nuo's spider legs.

Within only a few breaths, he had completely lost the ability to resist and could not move.

"Have you accepted reality now, Senior Yu Tianheng?"

Lin Nuo looked down at him from above.

"Once you've regained your strength, don't forget to hand the Gold Soul Coin card over to me.

As the young clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, surely you won't renege on a debt after losing before so many people, right?"

Suspended in the air before everyone, Yu Tianheng's mind went blank.

The unprecedented humiliation made his eyes bloodshot, and he panted like a bull!

With trembling fingers, he painfully brushed the storage Soul Tool at his waist and viciously flung an anonymous Gold Soul Coin card at Lin Nuo.

Now that he had gotten the stakes, Lin Nuo could not be bothered to waste any more effort. The spider legs behind him retracted, and he tossed Yu Tianheng onto the Soul Fighting Arena like a piece of trash.

Enduring the searing pain in his pierced shoulders, Yu Tianheng staggered and barely managed to steady himself.

He bit his lip in resentment until blood seeped out, but the ironclad reality left him no room to argue.

If Lin Nuo had been older and stronger than him, he could at least have found an excuse to comfort himself.

But this little brat before him utterly shattered everything he knew, whether in age or rank!

The future heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been utterly trampled beneath his feet!

"There are three thousand Gold Soul Coins on this card! This time... I lost!"

Yu Tianheng gasped heavily, glaring at Lin Nuo as he gritted his teeth and tried to save face.

"But I was only careless this time!

Sooner or later, I'll challenge you again!"

"Brat, remember this!

Today, I, Yu Tianheng, lost to you because my skills were lacking—not because my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul lost to you!"

Faced with this hard-mouthed declaration from a defeated dog, Lin Nuo had no interest in refuting him at all. He did not take Yu Tianheng's threats to heart.

He merely tucked the Gold Soul Coin card into his clothes, turned his back on Yu Tianheng, and casually tossed out a sentence.

"Those defeated by my hand have never been worthy of being considered my opponents."

"I will give you time to catch up, until you can no longer even see my back."

The students who had come to watch the spectacle, even those noble good-for-nothings who loafed around all day, were still Soul Masters who had awakened Soul Power. Naturally, their hearing was not poor.

Lin Nuo's words did not contain a single curse, yet they brought his disdain and sheer presence to the utmost extreme, ringing clearly in every ear.

In an instant, the entire Soul Fighting Arena erupted!

"Holy shit! This junior's words are way too damn cool, aren't they?!"

"I've learned it, I've learned it! How come I never thought of such a domineering declaration before?"

"A twelve-year-old Soul Grandmaster is nothing! An eight- or nine-year-old at rank twenty-five is what's truly terrifying!

I declare that from today onward, he is the undisputed number one genius of Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

"Ahhhhhh!!! Stop talking already! Such a cute and domineering junior has already gotten me wet..."

????

Something strange seemed to have slipped in. The one who spoke was none other than the Cat-Ear Senior who had first called him terrifying.

Hearing the tsunami-like cheers and exclamations around her, Dugu Yan, standing at the front of the crowd, could not help but reveal a strange gleam in her eyes as she looked at the cool, distant young man on the stage.

She was someone who clearly distinguished gratitude from grudges.

If they really got to the bottom of it, today's Soul Fight had been entirely caused by Yu Tianheng pestering her relentlessly.

Lin Nuo had simply happened to pass by at the wrong time and suffered an undeserved disaster, yet he had even given that clingy nuisance a brutal lesson on her behalf.

"No, I need to hurry back and inform Grandpa.

Given the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's domineering, overprotective ways, Lin Nuo will definitely face plenty of trouble afterward."

With that thought, Dugu Yan turned to a cool, reserved young woman beside her, who wore a black veil, and whispered something to her.

Then, without hesitation, she turned and quickly left the Soul Fighting Arena.

Having spent so long in Heaven Dou City, Dugu Yan knew those great sects that styled themselves as righteous and prestigious better than anyone.

If Yu Tianheng had merely been defeated today because his skills were inferior, the higher-ups of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might have swallowed their pride for the sake of their sect's reputation,

treating it as an ordinary spar between juniors and saying nothing more.

But the problem was that what Lin Nuo had displayed today was simply too frightening!

Not only did he possess a top-tier beast Martial Soul capable of confronting, even suppressing, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon head-on, he also had a Millennium Soul Ring as his second ring, something that completely overturned the common sense of the Soul Master world.

The implications of that were entirely different.

Once such a terrifying genius grew up, he would inevitably threaten the lofty status of the Upper Three Sects.

In that case, using some underhanded methods would only be natural.
