Mu Tianchen and the others did not have a smooth time absorbing the spiritual energy.

Just as they began absorbing it, several youths about Lin Tiannan and Leng Qingshuang's age arrived, staring at them with teasing expressions.

The leader was unexpectedly a handsome young man dressed in white. He was about as tall as Lin Tiannan, yet he radiated an incomparably sharp aura that soared into the sky.

Like a giant sword piercing the heavens!

Three others followed behind him: two young girls and a boy with a scar across his face.

Lin Tiannan and Leng Qingshuang's expressions both changed upon seeing them.

"So it's you. I never expected you to enter this Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform as well."

At this moment, Lin Tiannan looked at the white-clad youth, his face becoming incredibly grim.

How could he not recognize the leading youth? Among the Spirit Pagoda's younger generation, this youth was even stronger than he was—the true number one of the younger generation.

"Heh. If your Golden Crocodile King can come, why can't we?"

"Lin Tiannan, that explosion from the battle just now was caused by you, wasn't it? As expected of the Golden Crocodile King, one of the strongest of the Spirit Pagoda's younger generation. We could see your mighty figure from far away."

At that moment, the boy around five feet seven tall with the scar on his face gave a cold laugh.

He looked at Mu Tianchen and Qiangu Tinglan behind Lin Tiannan and Leng Qingshuang, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

"If you know what's good for you, get out of the way and hand that spiritual energy over to us!"

"After such an intense battle, you barely have any strength left. Oppose us, and you'll only be seeking your own deaths!"

The scar-faced youth looked at Lin Tiannan. Three yellow century-old Soul Rings immediately rose beneath his feet, while an enormous saber appeared in his hand. That was his martial soul, the Tyrant Blade!

The Tyrant Blade was a legendary martial soul. It contained an immensely powerful killing intent, and Soul Masters who possessed it often found it difficult to control that intent, eventually suffering cultivation deviation.

The scar on the youth's face had come when he was nine years old. During cultivation, he had accidentally suffered cultivation deviation and lost control of his blade, slashing himself across the face.

That slash had directly cleaved away half his face.

If the Federation's medical technology had not been advanced enough at the time, he would have killed himself with that blow.

Though he had survived, a massive scar had remained on his face. It was permanent; no matter how advanced the Federation's technology became, it could not repair that scar.

From then on, whether due to the influence of the Tyrant Blade martial soul or some other reason, his temper became extraordinarily volatile. Few people in the Spirit Pagoda dared provoke him.

"Qin Jianxin, are you just going to let Lin Kuang steal other people's spiritual energy? Is this how you conduct yourself?"

At this moment, Leng Qingshuang glared at the white-clad youth opposite her through gritted teeth.

Yet the youth's expression remained indifferent as he looked at her. He merely said calmly, "I am me, and he is him. What Lin Kuang does has nothing to do with me."

"What? You...!"

Hearing the white-clad youth's answer, Leng Qingshuang was immediately left speechless with anger, not knowing how to refute him.

Meanwhile, seeing the aggressively imposing Lin Kuang, Lin Tiannan pulled Leng Qingshuang behind him and said calmly, "Lin Kuang, I've long heard that your Tyrant Blade Domain is unmatched in the world and infinitely powerful."

"Today, I'd like to experience the might of your Tyrant Blade Domain for myself. Do you dare accept?"

Lin Kuang raised a brow at those words. His original intention had been to absorb that spiritual energy first and use it to improve his Soul Spirit's cultivation.

The ages of his three Soul Rings had already reached around eight hundred years. If he absorbed all that spiritual energy, even if his three Soul Rings could not break through to the thousand-year level, they would not be far from it.

But now that Lin Tiannan had taken the initiative to challenge him, he could not refuse!

Otherwise, people would say that Tyrant Blade Lin Kuang feared Lin Tiannan!

He gave a cold smile. "Fine. Since your Golden Crocodile King has challenged me, I naturally cannot refuse. I'll take you down first, then absorb their spiritual energy!"

"Tyrant Blade Domain!"

Lin Kuang raised the massive saber in one hand, and an overwhelming surge of energy erupted from his body.

This was his Tyrant Blade Domain, a skill that had come with his awakening of the Tyrant Blade martial soul. It could increase his own attack power by thirty percent and the damage of his Tyrant Blade martial soul by twenty percent.

Without question, it was a powerful domain.

Under the enhancement of the Tyrant Blade Domain, Lin Kuang felt stronger than ever before.

The moment the Tyrant Blade Domain appeared, it instantly enveloped Lin Tiannan.

Its appearance did not just affect Lin Tiannan. Even Mu Tianchen, who was absorbing spiritual energy nearby, was affected.

However, just as the Tyrant Blade Domain was about to strike Mu Tianchen, a platinum-golden force rippled from his body and sealed the domain outside.

That force protected not only him, but Qiangu Tinglan beside him as well.

Within the Tyrant Blade Domain, Lin Kuang gripped his enormous saber and launched an excited, ferocious assault at Lin Tiannan. His attacks were exceptionally sharp. With every slash, a blade radiance violently shot forth.

Like Lin Tiannan, Lin Kuang was a three-ring Soul Elder. However, Lin Kuang's Soul Ring configuration was not as strong as Lin Tiannan's. Lin Tiannan had three purple rings, while Lin Kuang had three yellow rings.

But a person's combat strength was not determined solely by Soul Ring configuration.

At this moment, Lin Kuang slashed fiercely. He did not use any Soul Skill, yet his saber came crashing down like a mountain, carrying an immensely heavy pressure.

Blade Intent!

This was the Blade Intent of the Tyrant Blade—the Blade Intent of Dominating the World! Every strike carried the artistic conception of Dominating the World, using that conception to crush any opponent's heart!

Covered by Lin Kuang's Tyrant Blade Domain, Lin Tiannan showed no hint of anxiety. His body became an afterimage as he rapidly closed in on Lin Kuang.

Then, at the very instant Lin Kuang's Tyrant Blade was about to cleave into him, this Power Attack System battle Soul Elder moved like an Agility Attack System Soul Master, abruptly twisting his body aside.

Against such a violent attack, he had actually evaded Lin Kuang's incomparably terrifying slash. Then his palm clenched into a fist and struck Lin Kuang heavily.

Duang—

Yet at some point, Lin Kuang had swung his Tyrant Blade around and blocked Lin Tiannan's powerful punch.

Lin Kuang burst into laughter at the sight, mocking, "Lin Tiannan, if this is all the strength you have, then today you are destined to be defeated by me!"

He narrowed his eyes. "Heh, they say you and Qin Jianxin are known as the Spirit Pagoda's strongest genius youths. But now that I see it, you're nothing special!"

As he spoke, Lin Kuang suddenly exerted force and shook his Tyrant Blade. That terrifying strike immediately sent Lin Tiannan flying.

Then he gripped the hilt with both hands and continued launching a fierce assault on Lin Tiannan.

"Die!"

Lin Kuang roared, the veins in his arms bulging violently.

Lin Kuang's saber technique was broad and forceful. Empowered by the artistic conception of Dominating the World, every slash he delivered was as heavy as Mount Tai. With that enhancement, his attack power had faintly reached the standard of a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.

At this time, because Lin Tiannan had expended too much energy fighting the Thousand-Year Wind Baboon King earlier and had sustained an injury to his right arm, he had actually begun to fall slightly behind in his battle against Lin Kuang.

However, as a Level 35 Power Attack System battle Soul Elder himself, Lin Kuang would not find it so easy to defeat Lin Tiannan.

"Qin Jianxin, are you going to attack me as well?"

Outside the Tyrant Blade Domain, Leng Qingshuang looked at the white-clad youth, coldness gleaming in her eyes.

Qin Jianxin replied calmly, "If I remember correctly, you and Lin Tiannan are also participating in the Genius Youth Elite Tournament one month from now?"

"That is within my expectations. The Genius Youth Elite Tournament allows any Soul Master aged twelve or below to participate."

"There are not many people in this competition who can make me wary. You are one of them. Come, let me see the strength of Leng Qingshuang, the Ice Phoenix!"

Qin Jianxin looked arrogantly at the slender, stunningly beautiful Leng Qingshuang. His martial soul was not ice-attributed, yet an icy aura erupted from him at that moment.

There were five great geniuses among the Spirit Pagoda's younger generation. Each possessed the potential to become a Super Douluo and was a key target of the Spirit Pagoda's full support.

They were Qin Jianxin of the Seven Kill Sword, Lin Tiannan of the Golden Crocodile King, Leng Qingshuang of the Ice Phoenix, Lin Kuang of the Tyrant Blade, and Qin Mochen, the Weepingless Death God.

Ranked first among them was Qin Jianxin of the Seven Kill Sword, a twelve-year-old Level 37 Power Attack System battle Soul Elder, two levels higher than Lin Tiannan and Leng Qingshuang.

Next came Lin Tiannan of the Golden Crocodile King, a Level 35 Power Attack System battle Soul Elder; Leng Qingshuang of the Ice Phoenix, a Level 35 Control System battle Soul Elder; and Lin Kuang of the Tyrant Blade, a Level 34 Power Attack System battle Soul Elder.

Then came Qin Mochen, the eleven-year-old Weepingless Death God, a Level 32 Agility Attack System battle Soul Elder. Of the five great geniuses, he was the most mysterious. Legend had it that no one could withstand his full eruption of power.

Leng Qingshuang glanced at Mu Tianchen and Qiangu Tinglan, who were absorbing spiritual energy behind her, and said, "I can fight you, but only if you promise not to take the opportunity to ambush those two."

"Can you do that?"

"Of course."

Qin Jianxin nodded faintly. He then spoke to the two girls behind him, who naturally did not dare delay and nodded at his command.

The two girls were twin support-type Soul Masters with powerful support abilities. The reason they could join Qin Jianxin's team was precisely because of those support abilities.

In truth, Qin Jianxin had never cared about the small amount of spiritual energy Mu Tianchen and Qiangu Tinglan were absorbing. What he cared about was defeating every opponent!

He wanted to prove to everyone that Qin Jianxin of the Seven Kill Sword was the Spirit Pagoda's future!

At the same time, seeing Qin Jianxin agree, Leng Qingshuang finally relaxed. She then released her martial soul and began fighting Qin Jianxin.

At this moment, Qin Jianxin directly closed his eyes.

Then a soaring sword aura shot into the heavens, and an exceptionally dazzling longsword radiating immense power appeared in his hand.

The Seven Kill Sword was said to have been the martial soul of Sword Douluo Chen Xin, the guardian elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect twenty thousand years ago.

Though twenty thousand years had passed, this martial soul remained incomparably powerful even now. Very few martial souls could stand alongside it.

Holding the Seven Kill Sword, which radiated a powerful aura, Qin Jianxin entered the state of Unity of Man and Sword almost instantly, displaying his overwhelming presence without restraint.

Leng Qingshuang fixed her gaze on the white-clad youth named Qin Jianxin, recalling the legends surrounding this genius youth.

Qin Jianxin was the grandson of Qin Wentian, one of the Four Great Spirit Envoys of the Spirit Pagoda and a Level 97 Super Douluo, as well as one of the most talented genius youths of the Spirit Pagoda's current generation.
