Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Pride? Petty-Minded Brats!
Thunderclap Academy.
As one of the Five Elemental Academies of the Heaven Dou Empire, this academy specializes in cultivating lightning-type Martial Soul.
Standing behind them was one of the most powerful Martial Soul families in the entire Douluo Continent, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of the Upper Three Sects.
The academy is located deep in Thunder Valley, northeast of Heaven Dou City, where it is shrouded in thunderclouds year-round.
A faint smell of ozone filled the air.
Occasionally, Purple arcs of electricity would silently leap between the building's spires.
A training room in a lightning-mimicking environment.
Yu Tianheng sat cross-legged, three Soul Ring slowly rotating beneath his feet.
Soul Power surged within his body.
Blue arcs of electricity traveled along the meridians, each circle pushing them to their limits.
A deep furrow appeared between his brows.
Ye Qing.
This name was etched into his mind, and he could not forget it even while cultivating.
He was publicly defeated at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and slunk away to the Thunderclap Academy.
This shame reminds me every day, every moment.
You lost.
You were completely outmatched by someone younger than you!
And this was in front of Dugu Yan.
Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, and the fluctuations of his lightning Soul Power suddenly became violent.
"Smack!"
The door to the meditation room was pushed open from the outside.
"Cousin, are you cultivating?"
A young man swaggered in.
Yu Tianheng opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.
Even without looking, I knew it was my cousin, Yu Tianxin.
"What's up?"
"Of course I have something to do, otherwise why would I come all this way to get some fresh air?"
Yu Tianxin, as if she knew the place well, found a seat, crossed her legs, and wore a meaningful smile on her lips.
"I have some news for you: the Imperial Fighting Team has left Heaven Dou City."
Yu Tianheng's eyelid twitched almost imperceptibly.
"I heard that Ye Qing took the entire team to Sunset Forest for some kind of special wilderness training."
Yu Tianxin spoke casually, but her eyes remained fixed on Yu Tianheng's expression.
"..."
The training room was silent for a few seconds.
Yu Tianheng closed his eyes again, his tone indifferent and devoid of any emotion.
Why are you telling me this?
"I have no interest in their movements."
"Yeah?"
Yu Tianxin let out a cold laugh.
"Cousin, stop pretending in front of me."
He stood up, crossed his arms, and looked down at Yu Tianheng, who was sitting cross-legged.
"You got beaten up by Ye Qing and kicked out of the Imperial Fighting Team, and I also got beaten up by their people. We brothers both fell to those guys."
You're saying you don't care?
Yu Tianxin lowered her head, a hint of coldness creeping into the curve of her lips.
"Nobody would believe that."
"..."
The training room fell silent once more.
Yu Tianheng's fingers tightened slightly on his knee.
He didn't speak, but he didn't refute either.
Because what Yu Tianxin said was true.
The words "I don't care" may fool others, but they can't fool yourself.
Every time I close my eyes to meditate, Ye Qing's understated face appears in my mind.
The sense of powerlessness brought about by such a crushing defeat cannot be dispelled by a few months of arduous training.
"Alright, stop looking so serious."
Having seen enough of Yu Tianheng's expression, Yu Tianxin directly revealed the real purpose of her visit today.
"I've come to tell you some good news."
"My grandfather knows about us too."
Yu Tianheng suddenly looked up.
"What did you say?"
"My grandfather, Yu Luomian."
Yu Tianxin spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone carrying just the right amount of smugness.
"He already knows about how we brothers were humiliated at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Yu Tianheng's pupils contracted slightly.
Yu Tianxin continued, "Grandpa's meaning is very clear: the prestige of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cannot be trampled upon by anyone, especially by an ignorant brat."
"He plans to send someone to Sunset Forest to teach Ye Qing and his Imperial Fighting Team a lesson."
"A lesson on what it means to be someone you can't afford to mess with."
Yu Tianheng's expression changed.
"No."
He frowned, lowering his voice slightly. "Don't forget, Dugu Yan is Dugu Bo's granddaughter."
"If we really harm his granddaughter, things won't be as simple as just teaching her a lesson."
"Dugu Bo?"
Yu Tianxin scoffed, her face full of disdain.
"Cousin, are you afraid of Dugu Bo?"
He held up one finger and waved it from side to side.
"Everyone in the entire Douluo Continent knows that Dugu Bo is the weakest Titled Douluo, the kind that's at the very bottom of the rankings."
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has our great-grandfather Thunder Douluo, in charge. What is Dugu Bo compared to him?"
"Besides, my grandfather is always meticulous in everything he does."
"It's just teaching a few juniors a lesson, not killing them to cover it up. Even if Dugu Bo finds out later, would he dare to come to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to demand an explanation?"
Yu Tianheng opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He thought of Ye Qing's face.
He recalled the look in Dugu Yan Ye Qing's eyes when she was defeated in front of everyone.
I thought of the whispers among my former teammates.
That thorn pierced my heart deeply.
"... Does the clan leader know about this?"
Yu Tianheng asked one last question.
"Grandpa?"
Yu Tianxin waved her hand. "Of course I don't know."
"Such a trivial matter doesn't need to bother the clan chief."
He walked to the door and glanced back at Yu Tianheng.
"Just stay here and cultivate in peace; good news will be here soon."
"Grandpa didn't send out ordinary people this time."
A chill crept onto his lips.
"Soul Emperor."
"A true Soul Emperor."
"More than enough to deal with a few brats."
After saying that, Yu Tianxin turned and left, her footsteps gradually fading into the distance in the corridor.
The meditation room returned to silence.
Yu Tianheng sat alone in the same spot, his lightning Soul Power surging endlessly within his body.
His fists were clenched tightly.
Reason told him that this might cause trouble.
But deep inside, a dark voice whispered—it's good to let Ye Qing suffer a little.
At the very least, don't let him live too comfortably.
Yu Tianheng closed his eyes again and continued meditating.
Lightning crackled and popped all around him.
But this time, he couldn't calm his mind.
The Sunset Forest.
The Imperial Fighting Team traversed the dense forest.
Dugu Yan is tracking a Thousand-Year Poison Frog hiding in the tree canopy.
Yu Feng and Osler flanked from both sides, while the Shi Brothers pressed forward head-on.
Their teamwork was so smooth that it was like a completely different team compared to when they first arrived in Sunset Forest.
Ye Qing stood at the back, a satisfied smile on her lips.
Sudden!
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky without warning.
Soul Emperor!
The oppressive aura of Six-Ring Soul Emperor!
Everyone's expression changed instantly.
"Watch out, enemies!"
Yu Feng's warning wasn't finished yet.
A dark shadow shot out from the void and struck the center of the group with a palm.
"Bang!"
The brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, simultaneously released their Black Tortoise Martial Soul.
Four Soul Ring lit up, and the two-person defensive shield wall stood firmly at the forefront.
The two defended with all their might.
As a result, with just one strike, the shield shattered and the man flew away!
The Shi Brothers were sent flying more than ten meters, crashing into three trees before coming to a stop.
The level difference is too great.
When Soul Emperor fights Soul Elder, that's not a battle, that's bullying.
