At this moment, several young nobles dressed in luxurious attire caught up on horseback. Among them, a tall woman with long, cyan-green hair watched the scene with a speechless expression; she had not expected that Yu Tianheng, a dignified Soul Grand Master, would actually have the gall to bully a child.
"If you lose, can you agree to one condition for me?" Chu Qing grinned, his youthful face radiating an air of harmlessness.
For some reason, even though the person before him was a brat not yet ten years old, Yu Tianheng suddenly felt a chill run through his entire body.
I must be overthinking it. What kind of strength could a little brat possibly have? Yu Tianheng dismissed it as a mere illusion and paid it no mind.
"Suit yourself. If you can beat me, you can name any condition you want!"
The several young nobles couldn't help but chuckle as they looked at the brat. While they disdained Yu Tianheng's conduct, they also didn't believe the wild claims coming from this child.
One youth laughed, "Kid, I advise you to just back down and let this matter go. Don't try to be a hero."
Chu Qing replied, "Big Brother, you don't need to worry about that!"
"Hmph! If you won't listen to good advice, you'll suffer for it!" Yu Feng stomped his foot. He had intended to save the kid, but he hadn't expected the boy to be so ungrateful.
Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently built up, Chu Qing grinned, "Then you'd better be ready!" Instantly, soul power surged from his body! One yellow and one purple soul ring swirled around him!
"What?! He's actually a Soul Grand Master? A Soul Grand Master under ten years old? Whose young master is this!" someone exclaimed in shock.
The woman also wore a look of astonishment; she hadn't expected this brat to be a Soul Grand Master! A Soul Grand Master under the age of ten!
"Chu Qing, level 25 Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul Nihility Devouring Flame, please enlighten me!"
Yu Tianheng watched this scene in shock. Not expecting the kid to truly be a Soul Grand Master, he dared not be careless and hurriedly activated his Martial Soul for protection. Immediately, his muscles surged, expanding significantly as if blown up like a balloon, his face turning fierce.
"Hmph, even if you are a Soul Grand Master, can you beat my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan martial soul? And with that Nihility Devouring Flame of yours that I've never even heard of?" Yu Tianheng looked on with disdain. Even if the person before him had some talent, in the face of the continent's top-tier martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he was ultimately insignificant.
"First Soul Skill! Flame Devouring Heaven Burning!" Clusters of black flames shot out instantly. The space along their path collapsed, unable to withstand the scorching heat of the Nihility Devouring Flame. In a flash, they slammed into Yu Tianheng's beast-transformed body.
"Hmph, what can you do to me? It's just an ordinary fire-attribute martial soul..." Before Yu Tianheng could finish, he felt a wave of intense heat envelop him. His prideful, beast-transformed body was utterly insignificant before these eerie black flames! Yu Tianheng even heard the sound of his beast-transformed bones cracking!
His vision went dark, and he fell backward! He crashed into the legs of his own horse. The horse, already injured and now startled, kicked out, striking Yu Tianheng in the lower abdomen!
Instantly, a look of agony appeared on Yu Tianheng's face!
Chu Qing continued to grin broadly, "How was that?"
The woman's eyes widened instantly! She had not expected a boy she had never heard of to possess such terrifying strength!
This child is truly terrifying!
Yu Feng, who had been indignant earlier, also consciously shut his mouth. Although Yu Tianheng was usually arrogant, his strength was universally acknowledged as formidable.
He couldn't even take a single hit? Chu Qing chuckled to himself. He knew that he had held back his strength for this strike; he hadn't released his full power, otherwise, if he had caused a death, he wouldn't be able to leave Heaven Dou City.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was currently at the height of its power! He was only a minor Soul Grand Master right now and couldn't afford to offend them completely. If he simply defeated Yu Tianheng, he trusted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wouldn't have the face to bully a junior like him.
After a long while, Yu Tianheng struggled to his feet and stubbornly said, "I was just careless this time. I've taken one hit from you, now it's my turn!"
Yu Tianheng gathered his soul power once more, streaks of lightning energy coalescing around him. This time, he didn't transform his entire body, but instead focused all his power into his beast-transformed dragon claws, attacking Chu Qing with lightning speed!
"The kid shouldn't be able to take this hit! Sister Yan, what do you think?" Yu Feng analyzed calmly.
"I don't think so."
Chu Qing stood fearless. This time, he even retracted his soul power, using only his physical strength to throw a punch that met Yu Tianheng's incoming dragon claws.
Following a crisp sound of impact, a figure collapsed to the ground!
It was none other than Yu Tianheng! His dragon claws, reinforced by all his lightning power, were shattered by Chu Qing's single punch, and his entire hand was fractured.
Yu Tianheng looked in despair at the harmless-looking, even somewhat handsome child before him, wanting to cry but having no tears!
He never expected the gap between people to be this large! His worldview had been completely shattered!
He was a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! He had reached the level of a level 28 Soul Grand Master at such a young age! He had always been the one crushing others; never had he been crushed by someone else! And in such a humiliating way!
Not only was this child's soul power three levels lower than his, but this time he hadn't even used soul power! He had defeated his strongest beast-transformed dragon claws with mere physical strength!
Is this... even human?
"Big Brother, you have to keep your word. People who aren't trustworthy get struck by lightning!"
A youthful voice reached Yu Tianheng's ears. Before he knew it, Chu Qing had walked up to the fallen Yu Tianheng, crouched down, and said with a grin.
Looking at the youthful face before him, Yu Tianheng said weakly, "Fine, I agree. Tell me, what do you want? I, Yu, am an upright man; I will never go back on my word." He had already prepared himself for the other party to make an exorbitant demand, sighing inwardly, It looks like I'm going to take a heavy hit this time.
Yu Feng had completely shut his mouth. Leaving the house today had truly shattered his worldview! To make the fearless Yu Tianheng concede? This child was definitely extraordinary!
Dugu Yan was puzzled. How had she never heard of such a genius? Could he be a peerless genius hidden by some family?
The rest of the crowd was also unsettled, whispering among themselves.
Yu Tianheng's face flushed red. Seeing that Chu Qing hadn't spoken but was looking at him with interest, he snapped in embarrassment, "Speak up! What, are you worried I'll go back on my word?"
Chu Qing said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about what I wanted. Just give me some ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber!" He believed that with the foundation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they would certainly have Whale Rubber in storage.
Yu Tianheng had been waiting for Chu Qing to make a massive demand, expecting some rare treasure. Upon hearing "Whale Rubber," he froze, looking at him with a strange expression.
One had to know, this item was used by old nobles to boost their virility after they grew old and frail. This Chu Qing was so young...
Could it be that the strength of a monster requires paying some kind of price?
Dugu Yan also blushed as she looked at the brat who wasn't even ten years old.
