Brawl!

"Apprentice, while it's true that naming your Self-Created Soul Skill sounds quite cool."

"But isn't it a bit strange that you have to name every single move you make?"

Dugu Bo looked at his little monster with a strange expression once again.

"Master, you don't understand. Not only is it very imposing, but it also keeps the opponent from knowing which one is your actual soul skill."

"And from time to time, it can catch them off guard."

The perspective shifts back to the academy.

"Master, there's one more thing I didn't mention: shouting it out like this is just really cool!"

After muttering to himself, he looked at the storm-like attacks from his classmates and revealed a wide, bright smile.

His figure moved like lightning, swiftly charging into the crowd, his target locked on the person closest to him.

"Dragon Claw Strike!" Accompanied by a furious shout, Yu Tianshuo's left hand instantly transformed into a massive, sharp claw, striking fiercely at the enemy with astonishing speed.

The power of this claw was terrifying; with just a single blow, a gruesome wound deep enough to reveal bone appeared on the opponent's chest, sending blood splattering everywhere.

However, Yu Tianshuo's offensive did not stop there.

He immediately transitioned from a claw to a fist and shouted.

"Chaotic Dragon Fist!"

Fists like a torrential downpour rained down upon the other three who were closing in from behind.

This fierce barrage was like a thunderbolt, leaving the three of them with no room to counterattack as they were instantly sent flying.

Just as Yu Tianshuo sent those three flying, several thick vines suddenly burst from the ground all around him, coiling around his body like venomous snakes in an attempt to trap him.

Facing this sudden turn of events, Yu Tianshuo felt not a shred of fear.

He let out a loud roar!

"World-Shaking Dragon Hammer!"

His tail lashed out violently, and a surge of immense power shot out like a cannonball, smashing heavily into those vines.

A series of cracking sounds echoed as the tough vines were instantly shattered and scattered in all directions.

Not only that, but the force of this tail whip also sent several agility-type soul masters who were trying to sneak an attack in the chaos flying away as well.

The immense strength Yu Tianshuo displayed shocked everyone present.

Following this, Yu Tianshuo ignited the dragon might within his body, radiating an aura that made hearts tremble, much like a rampaging giant dragon.

His gaze was like a torch, locked firmly onto the most densely packed area, and then he let out a sudden, thunderous roar!

"Dragon Roar Wave!"

This roar was like a clap of thunder, deafening to the ears.

Those struck by the dragon might felt their legs go weak, and some with lower tolerance were already so terrified they were losing control of their bladders.

"Monster! This guy is a monster! Everyone run!" Someone shouted in terror, and this cry seemed to ignite the fire of fear in everyone's hearts; those who were still hesitating immediately scattered like frightened rabbits.

"None of you are allowed to run! Get back here! You useless trash!"

"I'll tell my father the Emperor and have him strip all of your noble titles!"

Xue Beng leaned against the wall, roaring in a fit of rage at those fleeing.

However, his threats had no effect whatsoever; those people had long since been blinded by fear, and they had no mind left for his cursing.

Watching the crowd scatter like birds and beasts, Xue Beng was so angry he spat out a mouthful of blood, yet he was helpless to stop it.

His gaze fell upon Yu Tianshuo, who was walking toward him step by step.

Every step Yu Tianshuo took was light, yet it made his heart beat faster and faster, and he didn't even notice when his crotch began to grow damp.

He watched in horror as Yu Tianshuo walked up to the person who had been mocking him just moments ago, and then, without hesitation, stomped that person's head into a pulp.

In that instant, blood splattered and brains flew; the scene was exceptionally bloody and terrifying.

Xue Beng could no longer endure such terror, and his psychological defenses completely collapsed.

Like a frightened rabbit, he scrambled up from the wall, crawling and stumbling as he ran desperately toward the hallway, muttering, "As long as I... can reach that place, as long as I..."

However, his hope was quickly extinguished.

Before he could run very far, Yu Tianshuo's figure appeared behind him like a ghost.

Sensing this, he could no longer hold on, turned around, and began kowtowing.

"I was wrong! Big brother, please spare me, I was truly wrong!"

Watching this scene, Yu Tianshuo remained expressionless, saying only coldly.

"You don't know you were wrong; you just know you are about to die."

With that, his dragon claw reached out toward Xue Beng's face.

Just then, a figure appeared to block this fatal blow.

"Young friend, those pieces of trash are one thing, but this is the Emperor's fourth son. If he dies, it will cause a major disaster."

An old man smiled, using his iron staff martial soul to parry Yu Tianshuo's attack.

"What if I say no?"

As he spoke, the force in his hands increased by a few notches.

"Hmph, little brat, you really start to shine the moment you're given a bit of spring breeze, don't you?"

"Today, I shall teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders."

With that, the old man released his spirit rings.

"White, Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple."

The old man was none other than a five-ring Spirit King.

His third spirit ring lit up, and his iron staff began to elongate.

Yu Tianshuo was forced to retreat rapidly to dissipate the incoming pressure.

"You've got some skill, come again!"

As he finished speaking, the old man's second spirit ring flared, and his attack speed increased once more.

"Nine Dragon Protection Seal!"

Although it was called the Nine Dragons, in reality, only a single golden dragon phantom covered Yu Tianshuo's body.

He assumed a defensive stance with both hands, bracing himself to take the blow head-on.

With an upward thrust of his hands, he shoved the iron staff aside, much to the old man's shock.

He followed the length of the staff to close the distance rapidly.

"Dragon Claw Strike!"

The dragon claw on his left hand thickened as he swiped toward the old man's face.

"Clang!"

The old man's fourth spirit skill lit up, and an invisible barrier formed around him.

Immediately after blocking the strike, the old man flashed backward, muttering incessantly.

"Truly terrifying strength. Are you really just a one-ring Spirit Master?"

"But this is where it ends. Fifth spirit skill, Cloak Staff Technique!"

Spirit power gathered around the old man, forming a gale that gradually coiled around his iron staff.

He took a step forward, intending to kill this arrogant brat in a single blow.

Yu Tianshuo channeled his spirit power into his right dragon claw, preparing to deflect the attack before using his left hand to cave in the old man's skull.

But just then, the world turned black and white.

"Eighth spirit skill, Time Solidification."

Dugu Bo, dressed in a dark green robe, walked slowly from the end of the corridor.

When he reached Xue Beng, he flicked a drop of dark red liquid into the boy's body.

He walked up to the old man just as time returned to normal.

Dugu Bo said indifferently:

"My child doesn't need a piece of trash like you to teach him."
