The Number One Martial Soul Under Heaven

Li Jiuxuan's expression was tense as he kept his eyes fixed on the arena. Seeing Shui Yue'er knocked out, he reacted even faster than Shui Bing'er, rushing over to catch her in his arms.

Shui Yue'er rested her head against Li Jiuxuan's fair, slender arms, still somewhat dazed: "Did, did I lose?"

Li Jiuxuan felt a pang of heartache; many parts of Shui Yue'er's body were scorched and lacerated by electricity, and her playful, delicate face was covered in soot.

She had truly given it her all. Facing one of the top geniuses of the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan, she had only lost by a single move!

"Are, are you alright, Yue'er?" For the first time, Shui Bing'er appeared flustered. She wanted to hold her, to touch her, but with her body so badly injured, she didn't know where to begin.

"It, it hurts so much!"

Once Shui Yue'er's consciousness returned, her eyes instantly welled up. She turned her head and buried her face in Li Jiuxuan's small chest, sobbing like a child who had made a mistake: "I'm sorry, Jiuxuan!"

"It doesn't matter at all!"

Li Jiuxuan's heart felt as if it were being sliced by a blade. Sister Yue'er was usually so lively and adorable; this was the first time he had ever seen her in such a wretched state.

He used his small, tender hands to gently pat Shui Yue'er's back, trying his best to soothe her.

His entire palm became stained with bright red blood.

"I clearly... I really wanted to win, but I still lost..."

Shui Yue'er lifted her gaze, her eyes bloodshot and pitiful as she looked at Li Jiuxuan.

She was crying, mostly because she had lost the match.

Because deep down, she had held onto a sliver of hope.

If she had won, in a best-of-three series, perhaps little Jiuxuan wouldn't have to be taken away...

But now, with one draw and one loss.

Little Jiuxuan still had to face a twenty-five-level Soul Grand Master, someone seven levels higher than him with an extra soul ring!

"Sister is amazing, you already did your best! Thank you for fighting so hard for me!"

Li Jiuxuan's eyes stung with bitterness. Ever since he arrived at Skywater Academy, Shui Yue'er had always taken special care of him.

To have such a sister who cherished him, he was truly content.

If only he could survive this ordeal today...

He would spend the rest of his life clinging to Skywater.

As the referee announced the result of the second match and called for the third, Li Jiuxuan handed Shui Yue'er over to Shui Bing'er.

He was filled with extreme rage at this moment, a thick, icy chill and murderous intent flashing through his eyes.

He stomped his foot, and under the gaze of countless eyes, his figure darted onto the stone platform like a small true dragon.

At the same time, Li Jiuxuan's icy, cold voice rang out: "Li Jiuxuan, six years old, level seventeen Power Attack System Battle Soul Master!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire arena fell into a daze.

Six years old, a level seventeen Soul Master?

The next moment, they saw Li Jiuxuan's soul power circulating throughout his body, his clothes fluttering, and the yellow soul ring beneath his feet lit up.

"He really is level seventeen!"

Everyone off the stage was shocked.

Most people knew of Li Jiuxuan's background.

He was a child who had only recently awakened a top-tier beast martial soul.

It had only been about three months.

How could he have suddenly reached level seventeen?

The speed of his cultivation growth was simply too fast!

Even Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen felt surprised.

"Thunder Academy, Yu Zigang, ten years old, level twenty-five Power Attack System Soul Grand Master!"

The last disciple of Thunder Academy leaped onto the stage, curiously sizing up Li Jiuxuan.

Gaining seven levels in three months—he was indeed worthy of being someone the Sect Master kept an eye on; he certainly had some ability!

This cultivation speed was even faster than Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin had been at that age!

"Martial Soul, manifest!"

Yu Zigang's Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon martial soul appeared in an instant.

His talent was formidable; his arms and legs had undergone draconic transformation, his face was covered in pale blue scales that shimmered with flowing light, and the dragon tail behind him was exceptionally strong and long.

Lightning crackled and spread out from his body. Even those standing dozens of meters away felt a sense of electric numbness.

This was the power of the world's number one beast martial soul! The dominance of the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon!

Yu Zigang moved with the speed of lightning, his dragon soul power surging with the power to shatter any defense.

"Martial Soul, Ice Dragon King..."

Li Jiuxuan murmured in a low voice.

In the next instant, a creature resembling a true ancient Ice Dragon King soared into the sky from behind him.

The dragon's head was held high, covered in deep blue divine patterns, its eyes like the cold stars of the extreme north, its massive body blotting out the sun and moon; its mere manifestation caused the entire plaza to tremble violently.

The temperature did not just drop; it plummeted to two hundred degrees below zero.

The plaza, which had been clear and sunny just a moment ago, was instantly engulfed in a raging blizzard, and the arena froze into thick ice crystals at a speed visible to the naked eye, forcing everyone off the stage to mobilize their soul power just to resist the bitter cold!

Yu Zigang's pride and joy, the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon—hailed as the world's number one beast martial soul—looked like a hatchling encountering an ancestral dragon in the presence of this Ice Dragon King, its aura instantly wilting!

The lightning crackled and sputtered, trembling and dimming under the icy might, and even the dragon scales on Yu Zigang's body began to frost over.

No one could have imagined it.

A child of only six years old, yet the moment his martial soul appeared, the very heavens and earth were affected!

"Is this... the might of the top-tier beast martial soul, the Ice Dragon King?"

At this moment, all three factions were stunned into silence.

Skywater Academy, Thunder Academy.

And Huyan Zhen and Huyan Li.

In particular, Yu Luomian of Thunder Academy, who had maintained a look of disdain throughout, now furrowed his brows tightly, his face grave as he witnessed the divine power of the Ice Dragon King martial soul!

Merely by manifesting his martial soul, the rules of heaven and earth seemed to have been rewritten, ushering in an era of winter.

He was clearly an assault-type, yet what was this terrifying restrictive ability that surpassed even control-type soul masters!

Even he, a Soul Douluo, had to mobilize his soul power to resist the cold within the Ice Dragon King's domain!

"So this is the Ice Dragon King martial soul, capable of changing the very heavens and earth!"

"It's too formidable. In terms of the range of a beast martial soul, this Ice Dragon King is showing far more dominance than that Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon!"

"I agree. No wonder the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan is so fixated on that special student of ours; he is destined to rewrite the title of the world's number one beast martial soul in the future!"

The beautiful students of Skywater Academy exclaimed in succession, beginning to discuss the matter.

Hearing these remarks, Yu Luomian exerted force with the five fingers resting on his armrest, crushing the handle with a crack, his eyes turning venomous as he swept his gaze across all the Skywater disciples.

"Damn it, this Ice Dragon King martial soul is simply..."

Even Huyan Zhen subconsciously wanted to say that the Ice Dragon King was far stronger than the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon martial soul, but after catching a glance from Yu Luomian, he immediately shut his mouth.

He chose not to directly offend the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan.

"Sigh, I remember, if a man and a woman fall in love and have offspring, the child inherits the martial soul of the stronger parent, right?"

Suddenly, a beautiful Skywater disciple asked this question at an inopportune moment.

As soon as this topic was raised, it sparked a heated discussion.

"Of course! I feel that even if you placed the Ice Dragon King in front of all those martial souls that claim to be the best in the world, it would still be the strongest!"

For instance, the world's number one tool martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.

The world's number one support martial soul, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The world's number one beast martial soul, the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon.

The world's number one defense, the Bone Dragon.

The world's number one attack power, the Seven Kill Sword...

"So, if someone were willing to have a few children with this little brother, wouldn't that..."
