That was the Ice Dragon King family!
With such a powerful ancient Martial Soul, it would sooner or later become the greatest Martial Soul in the world.
With a little brother like him, you could practically found the strongest family on the continent!
"Hehe, whoever snatches him up while he's still young will get to be the strongest family's matriarch!"
"You cheeky girl, you've got wide hips—you look like you'd be good at having babies. Why not go seduce Xiao Jiuxuan?"
"You're the one who should seduce him! Coo-coo-coo~ But if Xiao Jiuxuan took a liking to me, I'd put on a wedding dress this instant!"
As soon as the Tianshui female student finished speaking, laughter and teasing erupted throughout the crowd.
Everyone looked at Li Jiuxuan as though he were a treasure radiating light. They seemed to have forgotten that the Thunder Academy and Elephant Armor Sect were still giving them a hard time.
Come to think of it, talking about carrying on the family line wasn't out of place at all. Everything on this continent developed at a breakneck pace.
There was a chubby fellow with a mutated Fire Phoenix Martial Soul who had gone to a brothel to blow off steam at the age of six.
Meanwhile, a faint flush slowly appeared on Shui Bing'er's cool face. She glared around at her fellow students, vexed. Honestly, what were they thinking? How could they still joke around at a time like this!
Even Shui Yue'er, who had been carried onto a stretcher, blushed bright red. But her face was blackened now, so no one noticed.
Han Ningshuang, the Tianshui vice dean carrying the stretcher, also inexplicably blushed.
She looked toward the arena, her gaze lingering...
But those polite remarks sounded like needles stabbing into Yu Luomian's ears.
The greed and chill in his eyes could no longer be concealed. He decided that as soon as his student won, he would take this boy back to Thunder Academy at once and eliminate any future trouble!
"Come on, let's see what kind of storm a seventeenth-level Soul Master like you can stir up!"
On the arena, Yu Zigang had been just as shocked, but he quickly composed himself.
Li Jiuxuan's Martial Soul was indeed powerful.
But the gap in Soul Power was clearly enormous.
Seventeenth level against twenty-fifth—an entire eight levels!
And he had one more Soul Ring!
Having a powerful Martial Soul didn't mean you were invincible on this continent!
Shui Yue'er had just proved that.
Li Jiuxuan said nothing. He simply looked at him with cool indifference.
He even clasped one hand behind his back, taunting him.
"First Soul Skill: Blue Lightning Dragon Claw!"
Seeing this, Yu Zigang immediately unleashed his first Soul Skill and charged in with a furious attack.
His offensive power was formidable. Soul Power surged around him, and wild lightning raged over his body. He became a streak of light, appearing before Li Jiuxuan in an instant.
Boom!
The air shattered. Three blue claw marks appeared, accompanied by the echo of a dragon's roar!
But Li Jiuxuan moved with nimble steps. Seizing his chance, he retreated just two steps and dodged the attack.
Within the Ice Dragon King's domain, it wasn't only speed that was weakened. Even surging Soul Power was suppressed by the bitter cold.
"!!!"
His first Soul Skill had missed, and Yu Zigang's eyes narrowed slightly. If Li Jiuxuan hadn't been protected by the domain, he would already have been a dead soul beneath his claws.
With his Soul Skill missing, Yu Zigang clenched his fist and immediately threw a punch, Soul Power surging as it carried a torrent of lightning toward Li Jiuxuan's face.
Seeing that it wasn't a Soul Skill, Li Jiuxuan also threw a punch infused with the Ice Dragon King's Soul Power, meeting Yu Zigang head-on!
Bang!
In an instant, the air burst apart. Frost and lightning crashed outward, making the great arena tremble.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Then, Li Jiuxuan and Yu Zigang launched into a furious exchange, each carrying murderous intent and hatred. They clashed like two savage, unstoppable storms!
In just a few short breaths, they traded dozens of punches, meeting force with force!
Boom!
At last, they collided once more. Li Jiuxuan's punch was domineering, striking Yu Zigang hard enough to drive him backward and send him stumbling across the ice!
The two finally stood on opposite sides of the arena.
Everyone present was astonished by the sight.
Li Jiuxuan's Martial Soul might be powerful, but he was only at the seventeenth level. How could he trade blows with the twenty-fifth-level Yu Zigang without giving ground?
And that last strike had driven Yu Zigang back, leaving Li Jiuxuan with the upper hand!
The scene everyone had imagined—Li Jiuxuan barely managing to defend himself, with no chance to strike back—had never happened!
"That kid's fierce!"
Huyan Zhen, seated beside Yu Luomian, couldn't hold back. He muttered the words under his breath.
Li Jiuxuan wasn't particularly muscular. In fact, he could even be called skinny!
Yet his raw physical strength was no weaker than that of the high-level Soul Masters from Thunder Academy!
Yu Luomian, who had been swaggering moments ago, had fallen silent.
His face was dark as water.
The more astonishing Li Jiuxuan was, the greater the threat he posed to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Perhaps, if he had no other choice, killing the boy outright would be the better solution!
"Xiao Jiuxuan's Martial Soul is powerful, but his body is strong too. Every blow he throws has such weight behind it!"
"Exactly, exactly. Once he's a little older and stronger, you'll be in for a treat!"
They had started by marveling at Li Jiuxuan's strength, but once the female student who had brought up the topic of genetics got teased, the atmosphere turned strangely suggestive all over again.
"Oh, you're so mean~"
The girls' coy, bashful laughter set all the Tianshui female students giggling.
"So this is twenty-fifth-level Soul Power? It really is impressive. You actually managed to trade blows with me head-on!"
On the arena, Li Jiuxuan rubbed his fist. He snorted and spoke with a calm, mocking gaze.
"You!"
His words made Yu Zigang furious enough to tear him apart!
Shouldn't he be the one saying that?
It was completely backward!
As if the six-year-old Soul Master at the seventeenth level were the one with every advantage!
"Fine. If you're asking to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Yu Zigang stirred up all the Soul Power in his body. Blue glints flashed in his pupils as lightning bloomed like a flower bud, sweeping across the entire Tianshui arena!
"Second Soul Skill: Violent Dragon Strike!"
With a furious roar, Soul Power erupted from Yu Zigang. He threw a punch and surged forward, transforming into the head of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon as he charged with a thunderous howl!
The sight was truly shocking. A twenty-fifth-level Soul Grandmaster's second Soul Skill faintly stirred the aura of heaven and earth, unleashing the Martial Soul's full potential. Even Huyan Li, seated below with his Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul, wouldn't dare take such a powerful attack head-on!
Li Jiuxuan still didn't panic.
His innate battle instincts made him retreat two steps. Then Soul Power burst from within him, drawing on the domain's frigid energy to form a thick Dragon-Patterned Ice Shield before him!
The dragon shield formed in an instant. Li Jiuxuan was only six years old and had awakened his Martial Soul just three months ago, yet he had already mastered shaping the cold with ease. This Dragon-Patterned Ice Shield was no weaker than a Soul Skill!
"Do you think an ice shield can stop the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?"
Yu Zigang charged forward, determined to destroy everything in his path.
He was confident that even Yu Shengxiong would have to use his third Soul Skill just to weaken the dragon's might!
"Die!"
In an instant, the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon slammed into the thick Dragon-Patterned Ice Shield. Ice and lightning exploded, Soul Power scattered through the air, and even the thick ice covering the arena shattered. Fragments flew everywhere!
Li Jiuxuan felt a domineering force. The blow sent him stumbling backward, just as he had driven Yu Zigang back with a punch moments earlier.
His body was also jolted by the electricity, going numb all over!
