Over on Yu Tianheng's side.
Yu Tianheng leaned against the dented, sunken metal shell of a car, gasping for breath.
The agony of his broken right arm nearly made him pass out. The Soul Power within him had also been scattered by that brutal impact just now. In his current state, even moving a finger was difficult.
Ahead of him, the Single-Horned Wild Boar charged forward on its thick legs like an out-of-control war chariot. It was less than ten meters away.
That single horn, gleaming with a cold, sinister light, rapidly enlarged in Yu Tianheng's pupils.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan hall.
Chaos had already erupted.
"Yu Tianheng!"
Yu Yuanzhen abruptly rose to his feet. His right hand unconsciously tightened, crushing the corner of the fine red sandalwood table beside him into splinters.
This Title Douluo, renowned across the continent, actually had a fine sheen of cold sweat on his forehead.
His most prized grandson, the future hope of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was about to be gored to death before a live broadcast watched by the entire continent by a wild boar without even a trace of Soul Power?
If that really happened, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would lose all its dignity!
Not only that, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would directly lose a family genius who might one day become a Soul Douluo, or even a Title Douluo!
It was a devastating blow!
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
On the training field, Dugu Yan had long since covered her eyes. Tears streamed from them as she did not dare look at the bloody scene that was about to unfold.
Everyone sighed.
They all believed Yu Tianheng was doomed.
However, at that critical moment.
Whoosh—
A cold, bone-chilling silver-white blade light suddenly flashed from a dilapidated two-story building nearby.
The blade light was simply too fast. It was so fast that Yu Tianheng only saw a white streak flash before his eyes and could not make out the attacker's movements at all.
Splat!
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out. The Single-Horned Wild Boar, which had been so arrogant moments ago, abruptly froze in midair. Then, its massive horned head slid cleanly from its neck, the cut as smooth as a mirror.
Dark red blood gushed out, splattering across the ground.
The boar's headless body slid another two or three meters forward under its powerful momentum before crashing down beside Yu Tianheng's feet, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The entire process happened too fast, so fast that there was not even time to blink.
There was a great terror between life and death.
Having just escaped death, Yu Tianheng could not recover for a moment. He merely stared blankly toward the source of that blade light.
It was a young man dressed in a fitted dark black Combat Suit.
The young man had a crew cut and was not particularly burly. Holding a Blood Shadow Battle Blade in one hand, he ignored Yu Tianheng entirely, planted one foot on the boar's corpse, and began opening its belly, separating its tendons, and stripping its bones.
His movements were so practiced that they sent chills down people's spines.
Douluo Continent suddenly fell silent.
Countless people staring intently at the Sky Screen felt their scalps go numb at the sight.
Shrek Academy training field.
Flender's mouth hung slightly open and would not close for a long while. Zhao Wuji rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he was hallucinating.
"Th... that solved it?"
Oscar stammered all over, unable to believe it for a moment.
That flash of blade light had been far too fast, so fast it seemed unbelievable. Even more astonishingly, the young man who had unleashed it did not have the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power around him!
That meant the young man had not relied on his Martial Soul to accomplish any of this!
Purple light still flickered in Tang San's eyes, while shock churned within him like raging waves.
He had seen it clearly just now.
When that crew-cut young man attacked, no Soul Rings had lit up around him, nor had he used Martial Soul Possession. He had completely relied on pure physical explosive power and incomparably exquisite force-generating techniques to slash out that strike!
What terrifying strength. What horrifying speed.
Tang San silently compared himself to him.
If he had faced that strike instead, even if he pushed Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to its limit, he likely would not have been able to dodge it.
Even if he used the Godly Zhuge Crossbow he took such pride in, with his current Soul Power cultivation, he absolutely could not break through that boar's defenses, much less decapitate it as easily as slicing tofu.
How exactly do humans in this other world cultivate?
Tang San took a deep breath, his palms drenched in sweat.
As a traveler from another land, he understood more clearly than anyone that other worlds still existed beyond Douluo Continent.
His Purple Demon Eye, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Mysterious Jade Hand were irrefutable proof!
And now, an entirely new world had appeared before him!
On the Sky Screen.
With a flick of his wrist, the crew-cut young man skillfully split open the boar's head with his battle blade, cut off its most valuable single horn, and casually tossed it into the tactical backpack on his back.
Only after finishing all this did he turn around and look Yu Tianheng, who was slumped on the ground, up and down.
"Hey, kid."
The crew-cut young man frowned in confusion. "You aren't even wearing a basic Combat Suit, and you're holding some strange beast claw in your hand. With that pathetic gear of yours, you dared come to the outskirts of the Wilderness Zone around County-Level City 0201?"
Yu Tianheng gasped heavily, enduring the agonizing pain in his right arm. He had no idea how to answer.
The top-tier beast Martial Soul he had always been so proud of, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, was merely some strange beast claw in this local's eyes?
Seeing that he remained silent, the crew-cut young man shook his head helplessly.
"Did that Single-Horned Wild Boar scare you stupid?"
Yu Tianheng continued gasping, watching the newcomer warily. The young man seemed to notice his hostility and spread his hands before his chest, saying irritably, "Don't get any ideas. I don't care about your pathetic gear. I'm not going to kill you for your things."
"Besides, with your physical condition, you're weak as hell. You probably can't even meet the passing standard of nine hundred kilograms for a Junior Martial Artist with a single punch, right?"
"You aren't even a Martial Artist, yet you dared provoke a Junior Beast Soldier Level Single-Horned Wild Boar. You got lucky today and happened to run into me. Hurry back to the Base City. The Wilderness Zone isn't a place someone with your strength should be."
After saying that, the crew-cut young man carried his battle blade and disappeared beyond the ruins after several leaps.
Yet every word he had spoken was clearly transmitted through the Sky Screen into the ears of everyone on Douluo Continent.
Junior Martial Artist?
Nine hundred kilograms?
Junior Beast Soldier Level monsters?
Base City?
One unfamiliar term after another was clearly transmitted through the Sky Screen into the ears of everyone on Douluo Continent, immediately causing an enormous uproar!
"Nine hundred kilograms... is merely the passing standard for a Junior Martial Artist?"
Nine hundred kilograms converted into Douluo Continent's units of weight meant a force of eighteen hundred jin!
One had to know that many assault-type Battle Soul Masters, before reaching Soul Ancestor level forty or fifty, could never achieve eighteen hundred jin of pure physical strength without the reinforcement of Soul Power.
Yet in that mysterious world, it was merely a passing standard?
If Junior Martial Artists were already this strong, then what about Intermediate Martial Artists? Advanced Martial Artists?
Further above, there definitely had to be even more terrifying realms!
From that young man's tone, Junior Beast Soldiers were even the lowest, cannon-fodder monsters!
At that moment, everyone on Douluo Continent felt their worldview had been completely overturned.
A top genius at rank thirty-nine could not even meet the passing standard to become a Martial Artist in that world. Was this the terrifying foundation of a higher-dimensional world?
