Yu Tianheng simply did not believe Dugu Yan's claim that she was rejecting him.

Although he had not previously considered pursuing Dugu Yan, he knew that she did not have any male friends she was particularly close to at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ye Lingling was the only one who was her close friend.

So how could Dugu Yan possibly have someone she liked? It was obviously just an excuse.

Some things that had happened after he returned to the clan these past few days had made it imperative for him to find a backer and an ally.

Otherwise, the position of future clan head would never be his.

And within Heaven Dou Royal Academy, only Dugu Yan could help him.

If a Title Douluo grandfather stood behind him, no one else in the clan would be able to compete with him anymore.

That was why, after returning these past few days, he had been thinking about how to win Dugu Yan's heart and favor.

But when he returned to the academy and saw how completely Dugu Yan had changed, he froze in place as though he had suffered a mental shock.

The attraction between those who shared dragon blood made his heart race uncontrollably.

He had originally approached Dugu Yan only to gain Dugu Bo's support, but now he made up his mind completely.

"Yu Tianheng, when you address me, please use my full name."

"And we are not close enough for that, are we? Is Yanyan really something you can call me?"

Dugu Yan held Ye Lingling's hand and looked at Yu Tianheng with disgust.

She did not know what was wrong with him. Ever since returning to the academy these past two days, Yu Tianheng had been clinging to her like he had been injected with chicken blood. She could not shake him off no matter what.

If she had not met Mu Ci, then perhaps when someone pursued her, she might have given them a chance because of her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom.

After all, whenever she released her martial soul, a faint fishy odor lingered around her for a long time.

As a girl, she was rather sensitive about that.

Even if the other person had ulterior motives, she would not have cared too much, as long as they treated her well.

But now, Mu Ci's image already occupied her heart, leaving no room for anyone else.

Even if he did not, she would never accept someone who so obviously had an ulterior motive at first glance.

Especially when Yu Tianheng's desperate persistence was written all over his face. There was even less chance she would accept him.

"Yanyan, what's wrong?"

Mu Ci's voice came from behind Dugu Yan at just that moment.

It was like a clear spring flowing into Dugu Yan's miserable heart, instantly making her feel much better.

Still holding Ye Lingling's hand, she quickly walked over to Mu Ci and said softly,

"Mu Ci, Yu Tianheng has been harassing me. I already told him that I have someone I like, but he still won't stop pestering me."

As Dugu Yan spoke to Mu Ci, her golden eyes met the gazes of Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er behind him.

Seeing Dugu Yan's gaze, Huo Wu slightly raised her chin, while Shui Bing'er smiled faintly and nodded.

Unaware of the atmosphere between the three women, Mu Ci walked over to Yu Tianheng after hearing Dugu Yan's complaint.

"You are Yu Tianheng, captain of the Heaven Dou Team, right? Hasn't Yanyan already made herself clear? She doesn't like you.

"Isn't this desperate persistence of yours a little inappropriate?"

But Yu Tianheng acted as though he had not heard him.

The moment Dugu Yan mentioned Mu Ci's name, his gaze had locked onto him.

It was him. It was him!

Yu Tianheng's Hatred

Yu Tianheng's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at the white-haired man walking toward him.

Mu Ci.

He was the one who had turned him into this.

It was the Whale Rubber secret method he had researched that allowed Yu Tianxin to absorb a third spirit ring beyond his limit.

Yu Tianxin's 2,200-year third spirit ring had completely overshadowed the 1,500-year third spirit ring Yu Tianheng had just absorbed.

With the same Thunder Fury spirit skill, Yu Tianxin's boosts in every aspect were far stronger than Yu Tianheng's.

And in the clan spirit battle two days ago, Yu Tianxin had utterly crushed Yu Tianheng with an absolute advantage.

They had the same first and second spirit skills, but the disparity in their third spirit skills gave Yu Tianxin a direct victory in raw stats.

The more Yu Tianheng thought about everything that had happened these past days, the more resentment he felt toward Mu Ci.

Why did you have to research that thing? Why couldn't you have released it earlier?

In just a few days, after he returned from obtaining his third spirit ring, everything had changed.

There were no longer any Blue Lightning Twin Stars.

There was only Blue Lightning's number one, Yu Tianxin.

All the elders praised Yu Tianxin's talent, while Yu Tianheng's own father could only sigh whenever he saw him.

Even Yu Yuanzhen had begun to favor Yu Tianxin, calling him the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's foremost rising star.

After all, whether the improvement came through external help or not, one step ahead meant staying ahead at every step.

Every spirit ring Yu Tianxin obtained afterward would be much higher in age than Yu Tianheng's.

And Dugu Yan.

She was Yu Tianheng's only chance to regain his footing in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and reclaim his ability to compete for the position of clan head.

As long as Poison Douluo stood behind him, he could suppress Yu Tianxin once more.

But now, Mu Ci was even going to take away his final chance.

How could Yu Tianheng not hate him for all of that?

Mu Ci frowned as he looked at Yu Tianheng, who said nothing and merely stared at him.

While cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye these past two days, Mu Ci had also indirectly asked Dugu Yan about her experiences at Heaven Dou Royal Academy over the past two years because of what he knew from the original story.

Dugu Yan said that Ye Lingling was the only person she was close to at the academy. Everyone else was merely an acquaintance she exchanged nods with.

As for Yu Tianheng.

The Heaven Dou Team had only been formed a few months ago, and they had only been classmates for a little over a year. They rarely interacted and were not familiar with each other.

So there was no third party or any question of someone cutting in.

Was it not simply because Dugu Yan did not like him?

Mu Ci truly could not understand why Yu Tianheng looked as though his hatred reached the heavens.

It was as though Mu Ci had slaughtered his entire family.

"Yu Tianheng? Why have you been staring at me the whole time?"

Frowning, Mu Ci took another step toward Yu Tianheng.

But that tiny movement was like stepping on Yu Tianheng's tail.

His entire body became agitated.

Blue-violet lightning began to flicker across his body. A blue mark appeared between his brows, the clothing on his right arm turned directly to ash, and a savage, terrifying dragon claw hung before him.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Possession.

Yu Tianheng's eyes were crimson, his breathing heavy as a bull's. The first spirit ring circling his right arm lit up.

Thunder Dragon Claw.

Violent, surging blue-violet lightning condensed into a gigantic claw imprint before Yu Tianheng, which shot straight toward Mu Ci.

Everyone present was dumbstruck at the sight.

Whether it was the five women behind Mu Ci or the students watching from outside.

This was Heaven Dou Royal Academy during the exchange event, after all. There were far more people than usual.

At first, it had only been a dispute between Yu Tianheng and the two women, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Both beauties, along with Yu Tianheng, the captain of the new Heaven Dou Team, were famous figures known throughout Heaven Dou Academy.

It was only natural that they attracted a few students to watch.

And when Mu Ci and the others arrived afterward, the crowd of onlookers only grew larger.

Yet no one expected Yu Tianheng to use Martial Soul Possession and attack Mu Ci in full view of everyone.

"Mu Ci!" "Brother-in-law!"

"Yu Tianheng, how dare you!"

The women cried out behind him.

But the instant Mu Ci saw Yu Tianheng use Martial Soul Possession, he reacted. Since Yu Tianheng had attacked him openly, there was no need for him to hold back.

The powerful spiritual strength brought by the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew he had consumed a few days ago made Mu Ci's reactions even faster.

He immediately used Martial Soul Possession just like Yu Tianheng and released his spirit rings.

Four spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—pulsed beneath his feet as his first and second spirit skills lit up at the same time.

The dual effects of healing and purification immediately enhanced his body.

Facing the enormous lightning claw imprint rushing toward him, Mu Ci neither dodged nor retreated, charging directly at it.

With physical qualities at the level of a Spirit Emperor or even higher, Mu Ci did not care at all about a first spirit skill that had not been enhanced by any boosting skill.

And the purification effect of his second spirit skill directly erased lightning's most distinctive paralysis effect, leaving it unable to affect him in the slightest.

Boom—

Mu Ci threw a punch straight ahead, instantly shattering the incoming lightning dragon claw into crackling arcs of electricity that scattered in every direction.

Then, under Yu Tianheng's stunned gaze, Mu Ci kicked him flying seven or eight meters away, where he crashed heavily onto the ground.
