The arena fell into an instant, deathly silence.

Whether it was the three standing on the stage or the clamoring students below.

All stared in astonishment at Lan Yan, who had been kicked out of the arena by Yu Tianchen.

"This... this can't be possible..."

"One kick! Just one kick! With a whoosh, Lan Yan went flying!"

"No way, Lan Yan is a Soul Elder! How is this guy so strong?!"

The silence lasted only a moment before an even more heated discussion erupted among the onlookers.

They discussed the outcome that had just unfolded with utter disbelief.

Every word of this chatter reached Lan Yan's ears without fail.

Feeling the sharp pain and numbness radiating from her waist, Lan Yan gritted her teeth, trying to crawl up.

But the numbing sensation in her body made it impossible for her to muster any strength, no matter how she struggled.

"Is he really that fast without even activating his martial soul?"

Aunt Zhou watched the tall, upright figure on the stage, her eyes filled with gravity.

No martial soul activated.

To be able to kick a level 31 Soul Elder away before she could even react.

This was enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of Yu Tianchen's physique.

But the most crucial point was.

Yu Tianchen was only eight years old!

Eight years old, and capable of defeating a Soul Elder in an instant!

The word "monster" was no longer enough to describe him.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... has truly produced an extraordinary figure..."

Aunt Zhou sighed softly.

Beside her, Shui Yue'er was shaking Shui Bing'er's arm frantically.

"Bing'er, Bing'er, did you see that kick from Yu Tianchen just now!"

"It was so cool!!"

"I saw it."

Shui Bing'er looked at Yu Tianchen with sparkling eyes, secretly feeling fortunate that she hadn't gone to spar with him.

If a Soul Elder couldn't even withstand a kick from Yu Tianchen without his martial soul, then if she were to spar with him...

Wouldn't that just be asking for a beating!

On the stage, amidst the increasingly fervent clamor, Yu Tianchen looked at the remaining three.

"Do you still want to fight?"

He asked.

The three on the stage snapped out of their shock, shaking their heads like rattles.

Lan Yan had the highest level among their group.

Even so, he had defeated her in one move without using his martial soul.

If they all went up together, they would likely just end up getting pummeled.

Seeing that the three had no intention of continuing, Yu Tianchen glanced at Lan Yan, whom he had kicked off:

"Take your classmate to get treated. I held back; I didn't break any of her bones."

"She only needs a little rest."

With that, he walked off the stage without looking back, under the gaze of the crowd.

Seeing that the fight was over, Aunt Zhou immediately arranged for students to take Lan Yan away for treatment.

Yu Tianchen arrived before Aunt Zhou at this moment, speaking with a hint of apology:

"My apologies, Teacher Zhou, for causing a scene at your Skywater Academy."

"It is of no consequence. Lan Yan provoked you first; the academy should be the one apologizing to you."

Aunt Zhou shook her head, saying with some admiration:

"You are truly worthy of the genius the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been touting. Judging by the physique you displayed during the fight just now, you must spend a great deal of time honing your body, don't you?"

"Yes."

Yu Tianchen nodded with a smile.

"I have been training my physique since I was young. After awakening my martial soul, I never stopped my physical training while carrying out my daily cultivation."

"No wonder."

Aunt Zhou wore an expression of "as I expected" and said with a hint of regret:

"It's a real pity that the rules of Skywater Academy only allow for the enrollment of female students."

"Otherwise, I would truly want to do my best to invite you to join Skywater Academy."

Yu Tianchen smiled but did not respond.

Joining an academy was not part of his current plans to begin with.

Mainly because it was useless.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had plenty of the study materials provided to students in such academies.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not lacking in simulated environments either.

Furthermore, Yu Tianchen already had his own method of cultivation.

Therefore, for him right now, entering a high-level Soul Master Academy would bring him zero improvement.

Otherwise, with the connections of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which academy could he not enter?

After Aunt Zhou had finished arranging the matters at the training ground, she led the three of them toward the small courtyard where the dean resided.

On the way, Aunt Zhou briefly explained to Yu Tianchen the relationship between the dean of Skywater Academy and the two sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

Only then did Yu Tianchen understand that the dean of Skywater Academy, Lan Ruyue, was Shui Bing'er's mother and Shui Yue'er's biological mother.

No wonder these two sisters could use their mother's name to enter Skywater Academy as non-students and even bring him along.

"Dean, I have brought Bing'er and Yue'er over..."

Arriving at the courtyard where the dean resided, Aunt Zhou led the three to find Lan Ruyue and briefly recounted what had happened at the training ground earlier.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er stood obediently to the side, looking as if they were incredibly well-behaved.

"You two..."

After hearing Aunt Zhou's account, Lan Ruyue sighed softly and gave the two sisters, Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er, a helpless glare.

However, she did not say much more, instead looking at Yu Tianchen with a gentle expression:

"My apologies, Young Master Tianchen. On behalf of Skywater Academy, I apologize for what happened at the training ground."

"I hope you do not mind."

"It is no matter. Dean Lan may simply call me Tianchen."

Yu Tianchen said with a smile:

"My grandfather and I were just passing through Skywater City this time, and I only wanted to visit Shui Bing'er."

"I never expected to cause such a stir at Skywater Academy."

"It is I who should be apologizing for causing trouble for your Skywater Academy."

So that old sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has come as well...

Surprise appeared on Lan Ruyue's face, but she quickly composed herself.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had finally produced such a top-tier genius.

It would be strange if there wasn't a powerhouse by his side to protect him.

Immediately, she looked at Shui Bing'er, who was standing honestly to the side.

As Shui Bing'er's mother, she naturally knew what had happened two years ago when Shui Wusheng took Shui Bing'er to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After returning, that little girl had muttered about Yu Tianchen incessantly, and had even worked much harder at her cultivation.

To be honest, Lan Ruyue did not object to Shui Bing'er associating with Yu Tianchen.

Yu Tianchen possessed exceptional talent and could motivate her own daughter to work harder.

She could find no reason to object to such a stroke of good luck that one couldn't even reach with an eight-meter pole.

Since His Excellency Thunder did not mind, she might as well let the two little ones spend time together and see how it went.

Thinking this, a smile appeared on Lan Ruyue's face as she said to Shui Bing'er:

"Bing'er, since Tianchen is here to visit you, you should take him around the city and show him a good time. Do not neglect our guest."

"Ah?"

Shui Bing'er, who had been lowering her head waiting for her mother's reprimand, immediately looked up in astonishment upon hearing Lan Ruyue's words.
