"Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianheng roared, his eyes bloodshot. He sprang into the air and slashed at Wang Dong'er's vitals with his Dragon Transformation right hand, wreathed in lightning.
Dugu Yan was his girlfriend. Seeing her lying in a pool of blood had driven him out of his mind. Now he wanted nothing more than to tear Wang Dong'er, the supposed culprit, to pieces.
The other members of the Emperor Team activated their Martial Souls and joined the fight. Under their combined assault, Wang Dong'er was forced back again and again.
The hardest to deal with was Yu Tianheng's lightning. Touching it would leave her briefly numb. Yu Feng, who could also fly, gave Wang Dong'er even more trouble.
Osler was the only one on the team with any sense.
When he saw Shi Mo and Shi Mo about to join the fight, he hurried to stop them.
"Don't attack yet. The deputy captain is a Three-Ring Soul Elder. Even the Soul Ancestor teachers at the academy can't resist her poison. How could this person, who's only a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, have hurt her?"
Osler's words made Yu Feng stop attacking.
That was right.
They knew Dugu Yan's strength better than anyone. How could a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster have hurt her?
Could they really have misunderstood...
"Boss, stop! We may have misunderstood her!"
But it was too late.
Yu Tianheng had lost all reason. He had no Soul Skill that could hit an airborne target, and he couldn't keep up with Wang Dong'er's speed. She toyed with him in the air, making him even more furious. Now he wouldn't listen to anyone.
Even if Wang Dong'er hadn't done any of this, he was still going to knock her out of the sky.
"Thunderbolt!" Yu Tianheng clenched both fists, his muscles bulging.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul raised its head and roared at Wang Dong'er. Endless lightning spread out, rapidly closing in on her.
"Light of the Butterfly Goddess!" Wang Dong'er circulated her Soul Power, and blinding light burst from her body. Golden patterns on the butterfly wings at her back shone brightly, repeatedly countering Yu Tianheng's lightning.
But with a Soul Power gap of nearly ten levels, Wang Dong'er's Soul Skill was swallowed by the endless lightning.
As the lightning closed around Wang Dong'er, putting her in grave danger, her gaze sharpened. The Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul instantly vanished, and arcs of electricity flickered around her right hand as a small, pitch-black hammer appeared.
She clenched her right hand around the handle and hurled the Clear Sky Hammer at Yu Tianheng with all her strength.
Over the past six years, she had not only trained hard to improve her Soul Power but had also spent most of her spare time building her strength and stamina. She had done it so that, at a critical moment, she could use the more powerful Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul to fight an opponent she otherwise couldn't defeat.
If she hadn't truly been backed into a corner, she never would have used her Second Martial Soul.
The Clear Sky Hammer struck Yu Tianheng in the chest just before the lightning could hurt Wang Dong'er.
Its tremendous force and momentum interrupted his Soul Skill. The lightning in the room vanished, and Yu Tianheng flew backward, crashing heavily into the corridor.
The Clear Sky Hammer's terrifying force shattered the smooth tiles. Yu Tianheng gasped in pain, unable to stand no matter how hard he tried. He had completely lost the ability to move.
It had all happened in the blink of an eye.
No one had seen what had defeated Yu Tianheng—not even Yu Tianheng himself.
Wang Dong'er rushed out of the room and put away the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
By the time the others came out after her, she had Yu Tianheng by the throat with one hand. The atmosphere turned tense in an instant.
"Boss!"
"Miss, I advise you to stay calm. Do you know who he is? He's the grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's patriarch. If you hurt him, you'll be in danger!"
Wang Dong'er was furious too.
It was her first day at the academy, and she'd been misunderstood, attacked, and threatened. If she'd known this would happen, she might as well have gone to Shrek Academy.
"What are you doing? Stop this at once!"
Just then, an angry shout rang out from the end of the corridor.
Everyone turned and saw Qin Ming hurrying toward them.
"What happened?"
"Why are you ganging up on a new student?"
Qin Ming scolded Osler and the others.
"Teacher, it's a misunderstanding! How have we bullied her? Look at the boss—he's about to be beaten to death!"
Yu Feng sounded terribly aggrieved.
Qin Ming froze for a moment.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo were both huge, completely blocking his view of Yu Tianheng, who was in Wang Dong'er's grasp. When they stepped aside and revealed Yu Tianheng, Qin Ming was even more dumbfounded.
Yu Tianheng was the strongest student at the Royal Academy, with a Soul Power Level of thirty-seven.
Wang Dong'er's Soul Power was only twenty-nine. With such a huge gap, how had Yu Tianheng ended up beaten like a dead dog?
"Let go!"
Qin Ming had no time to think about the reason. He hurried forward and pulled Yu Tianheng from Wang Dong'er's grasp.
Yu Tianheng's face had already turned purple. If Qin Ming had arrived just a few seconds later, the entire Royal Academy might have ceased to exist.
After settling Yu Tianheng, Qin Ming forced down his anger and looked from Wang Dong'er to Osler and the others.
"Can someone tell me what happened? What made you all attack a new girl?"
"Teacher Qin Ming, it's a misunderstanding!" Osler said, looking innocent. "Only the boss attacked her. We—we were trying to break it up, but we couldn't stop him!"
"If you don't believe me, ask her."
"Mm." Wang Dong'er nodded. Though she was angry, she wouldn't kick someone when they were down or make false accusations.
"Teacher Qin Ming, this is what happened."
"You told me to come to the third floor and find a room to rest in. But as soon as I came upstairs, I saw the purple-haired girl in that room lying unconscious in a pool of blood."
"Then they came."
"I think they misunderstood and thought I'd done something to her."
"As for him, he attacked me without asking what happened. I had no choice but to fight back."
"What!"
Qin Ming's heart sank.
"Quick, move aside!"
He rushed through the crowd and hurried into the room, stopping beside Dugu Yan.
He carefully examined her with his Soul Power and found that Dugu Yan was unharmed, just still asleep. Only then did he let out a breath.
In just a few seconds, cold sweat had soaked through his clothes. The heart that had been suspended in midair finally settled.
Thank goodness Dugu Yan was all right.
If anything had happened to Dugu Yan, who in the entire Heaven Dou Empire could withstand Poison Douluo's wrath?
As the team leader, he would bear the main responsibility. Whether he could even keep his corpse intact would come down to luck.
"You—you lot, go run laps on the field."
"Faced with a situation like this, why didn't you come and get me right away?"
"Wang Dong'er, you..." Qin Ming sighed. After calming his anger, he continued, "Yu Tianheng and the others were in the wrong. When he wakes up, I'll make him apologize to you."
"But I'm curious. How did you defeat Yu Tianheng?"
