The Second Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer

"Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng roared, his eyes bloodshot. He pushed off the ground, leaping into the air as he lunged toward Wang Dong'er's vitals with his dragon-transformed right hand wreathed in lightning.

Dugu Yan was his girlfriend. Seeing her lying in a pool of blood had shattered his reason; now, he only wanted to tear Wang Dong'er, the culprit, to pieces.

The remaining members of the Imperial Team activated their martial souls and joined the fray. Under their combined assault, Wang Dong'er was forced into a steady retreat.

The most troublesome factor was Yu Tianheng's lightning, which caused temporary paralysis upon physical contact. Yu Feng, who could also fly, added to the pressure, making things incredibly difficult for Wang Dong'er.

Oslo was the only one in the group with a clear head.

Seeing Shi Mo and Shi Mo preparing to join the attack, he hurriedly stopped them.

"Don't move yet. The vice-captain is a three-ring Soul Elder. Her poison is something even the Soul Ancestor teachers in the academy can't resist. This person is only a two-ring Great Soul Master; how could she possibly hurt the vice-captain?"

Oslo's words made Yu Feng halt his attack.

That was true.

They knew Dugu Yan's strength better than anyone; how could she be injured by a mere two-ring Great Soul Master?

Could they have really misunderstood...

"Boss, stop! We might have misunderstood her!"

But it was too late.

Yu Tianheng had lost all reason. Lacking an aerial soul skill, he couldn't keep up with Wang Dong'er's speed and was being toyed with in the air. Consumed by rage, he wouldn't listen to anyone now.

Even if Wang Dong'er hadn't done it, he was determined to knock her down.

"Thunderbolt!" Yu Tianheng clenched his hands tightly, his muscles bulging.

His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul raised its head and roared at Wang Dong'er. Endless lightning surged outward, rapidly closing in on her.

"Light of the Butterfly Goddess!" Wang Dong'er channeled her soul power. A blinding, unbearable radiance erupted from her body, and the golden patterns on the wings behind her released a brilliant glow, continuously neutralizing the force of Yu Tianheng's lightning.

However, the massive gap of nearly ten levels of soul power caused her soul skill to be overwhelmed by the endless sea of lightning.

Just as the lightning was about to engulf her in a moment of crisis, Wang Dong'er's gaze sharpened. Her Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul instantly retracted, and as arcs of electricity flickered across her right hand, a small, pitch-black hammer quietly emerged.

She gripped her right hand tightly around the handle and threw the Clear Sky Hammer at Yu Tianheng with all her might.

Over the past six years, besides diligently cultivating her soul power, she had spent most of her time training her strength and physical fitness, specifically so she could use her more powerful Clear Sky Hammer martial soul to face unbeatable opponents in critical moments.

She would never have used her second martial soul if she hadn't been truly backed into a corner.

The Clear Sky Hammer struck Yu Tianheng in the chest just before the lightning could harm Wang Dong'er.

The immense force and momentum interrupted his soul skill. The lightning in the hallway vanished, and Yu Tianheng was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the floor.

The smooth tiles were shattered by the terrifying power of the Clear Sky Hammer. Yu Tianheng gasped for air, unable to stand despite his best efforts, having completely lost the ability to move.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

No one saw what had defeated Yu Tianheng, not even Yu Tianheng himself.

Wang Dong'er quickly rushed out of the room and stowed away her Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

By the time the others chased after her, Wang Dong'er had already grabbed Yu Tianheng by the throat with one hand, and the atmosphere instantly turned tense.

"Boss!"

"Young lady, I advise you to stay calm. Do you know who he is? He is the grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master! If you hurt him, you'll be in grave danger!"

Wang Dong'er was also filled with pent-up fury.

On her very first day at the academy, she had been misunderstood, attacked, and threatened. If she had known it would be like this, she would have been better off going to Shrek Academy.

"What are you all doing? Stop it, all of you!"

Just then, an angry shout echoed from the end of the hallway.

Everyone turned to see Qin Ming running toward them in a panic.

"What happened?"

"Why are you all ganging up to bully a new student?"

Qin Ming scolded Oslo and the others.

"Teacher, it's a misunderstanding! How could we be bullying her? Look at the boss—he's about to be beaten to death by this person!"

Yu Feng said, feeling incredibly aggrieved.

Qin Ming froze for a moment.

Shi Mo and Shi Mo were large in stature, completely blocking his view of Yu Tianheng, who was being held by Wang Dong'er. When the two stepped aside to reveal him, Qin Ming was even more bewildered.

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 level twenty-nine. With such a massive gap, how had Yu Tianheng been defeated and left looking like a dying dog?

"Let go!"

Qin Ming didn't have time to ponder the reason; he anxiously stepped forward and snatched Yu Tianheng from Wang Dong'er's grip.

Yu Tianheng's face had turned the color of liver, and had he arrived even a few seconds later, the entire Royal Academy might have ceased to exist.

After settling Yu Tianheng down, Qin Ming suppressed the rage in his heart and swept his gaze across the faces of Wang Dong'er, Oslo, and the others.

"Can someone tell me exactly what happened to make you all gang up on a newcomer?"

"Teacher Qin Ming, it's a misunderstanding!" Oslo said with an innocent expression, "Only the boss laid a hand on her. We—we were just trying to break up the fight, but we couldn't stop him at all!"

"If you don't believe me, ask this young lady."

"Mm." Wang Dong'er nodded. Although she was angry, she would not kick someone while they were down or slander others.

"Teacher Qin Ming, it happened like this."

"You told me to come to the third floor to find a room to rest, but as soon as I went upstairs, I saw that purple-haired girl in the room unconscious in a pool of blood."

"Immediately after, they arrived."

"I assume they misunderstood and thought I had done something to that girl."

"As for this person, he attacked me without rhyme or reason, so I had no choice but to defend myself."

"What!"

Qin Ming's heart sank.

"Quick, move aside!"

He rushed through the crowd, hurried into the room, and reached Dugu Yan's side.

After carefully checking her with his soul power and discovering that Dugu Yan was not in any serious danger and was merely unconscious, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

In those few short seconds, cold sweat had already soaked his shirt, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally settled back into place.

It was fortunate that Dugu Yan was unharmed.

If anything had happened to Dugu Yan, who in the entire Heaven Dou Empire could withstand the wrath of Poison Douluo?

As the team leader, he would bear the primary responsibility, and whether he would even be left with an intact corpse would be a matter of luck.

"You—all of you, go to the training grounds and run laps."

"When you encountered a situation like this, why didn't you go find me immediately?"

"Wang Dong'er, you..." Qin Ming sighed. After calming his anger, he continued, "Yu Tianheng and the others were in the wrong regarding this matter. Once she wakes up, I will make him apologize to you."

"But I am curious, how did you manage to defeat Yu Tianheng?"
