Bei Bei's Strength (Please Read On)

The moment Bei Bei appeared, the seventh Soul Fighting Hall erupted with enthusiastic cheers and shouts of encouragement.

It was clear that a large portion of the audience in the seventh Soul Fighting Hall had come specifically to support Bei Bei.

"Both sides, prepare!"

The referee's gaze swept over the two of them in turn as he raised one hand high.

When Bei Bei and Zhao Yongnian each reached one end of the fighting platform, his arm dropped sharply. "Begin!"

Roar—

A deep, resounding tiger's roar suddenly rang out across the fighting platform.

A mass of dark-red firelight blossomed as Zhao Yongnian's body abruptly grew a foot taller. Brownish-yellow fur grew wildly over his rock-hard, bulging muscles, while crimson stripes resembled flickering flames.

He crossed his arms before his chest, and bright silver tiger claws shot from his broad, fan-like palms.

At the same time, he charged toward Bei Bei in great strides.

Faced with this, Bei Bei showed no fear and met him head-on. As he rushed forward, his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul possessed him.

Blue-violet light glowed at Bei Bei's brow, gradually forming a lightning-shaped mark.

There were not many changes to his body itself. Only his right hand extended by half a foot, transforming into a dragon claw crackling with lightning.

Rather than hovering around the Soul Master's body like ordinary Spirit Rings, his two yellow Spirit Rings were looped around his arms, pulsing rhythmically.

Bang—

The two exchanged a punch, and an invisible shockwave burst outward.

Zhao Yongnian came out slightly worse in terms of strength and was blasted back several steps. He immediately changed his fist into a claw, lunging forward with dagger-like silver tiger claws and unleashing Tiger Rips Out the Heart straight at Bei Bei's chest.

Bei Bei dodged aside, then lashed out with his dragon-arm right hand. He precisely caught an opening and struck the back of his opponent's hand.

Zhao Yongnian's hand immediately turned blue and purple, making him suck in a sharp breath from the pain.

Bei Bei pressed his advantage and attacked. His first Spirit Ring lit up.

Violent blue-violet lightning gathered around the front of his right hand, forming an even larger and more destructive dragon claw.

It was his first soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw.

Bei Bei leaped into the air, his arm blazing with lightning as it chopped down.

Zhao Yongnian twisted his tiger-like waist and rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Although Bei Bei's strike missed, he had no intention of stopping. Light radiated from his dragon claw, and in the next instant, a dragon claw condensed from lightning blasted toward Zhao Yongnian like a cannonball.

Zhao Yongnian sprang to his feet with a kip-up, fire bursting from his eyes.

His second Spirit Ring lit up, and flames surged forth. The next moment, Zhao Yongnian vanished from everyone's sight, replaced by a fierce tiger enveloped in flames.

The Flame Tiger moved on all fours, took a running start, then leaped into the air, barely evading the Thunder Dragon Claw. Afterward, like a tiger descending a mountain, it plunged from the sky and pounced on Bei Bei.

Roar—

A low tiger's roar sounded, and rippling waves actually appeared before the Flame Tiger's mouth.

No one noticed that the first Spirit Ring concealed within the flames had lit up at that moment.

That roar was precisely his first soul skill, Tiger's Roar.

The low-frequency sound waves rolled over him like a heavy hammer striking Bei Bei's head, leaving his mind dazed.

In the audience, Lin Yan watched the scene and said in surprise, "Sister Lexuan, look. This Zhao Yongnian really has some skill!"

"Mm."

Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly. "His first soul skill should be a soundwave soul skill with mental-control effects, while his second lets him transform into a flaming tiger for a short time to launch an attack."

"He used the transformation from his second soul skill to conceal the activation of his first soul skill. It is subtle and hard to detect, making it easy for opponents to fall for it. Someone of the same rank who is unprepared would indeed find it difficult to withstand such an offensive."

"Then what about Cousin?"

"Little Brother Lin Yan, do not underestimate your cousin. You train diligently, but he has also put in tremendous effort to improve himself!"

Just as Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, clarity suddenly returned to Bei Bei's unfocused eyes, filling them with vigor.

Clearly, he had broken free from the effects of his opponent's first soul skill.

"How is that possible?"

Zhao Yongnian's expression changed drastically when he noticed the shift in Bei Bei.

Normally, this soul skill of his could stun Soul Masters of the same rank for three seconds, yet Bei Bei had regained his senses in less than two. This showed that Bei Bei possessed an exceptionally firm will. It would be extremely difficult for external forces to influence his mind for long.

At the same time, Bei Bei's second Spirit Ring lit up.

Terrifying lightning enveloped Bei Bei's entire body, and the aura he emitted became immensely more powerful in mere moments.

It was his second soul skill, Thunderous Force, obtained from an eight-hundred-year Thunder Earth Dragon.

With a sweep of his arm, lightning exploded outward from his body in all directions, striking Zhao Yongnian in an instant.

Aah—

Zhao Yongnian cried out in pain.

His second soul skill was only an offensive soul skill. It was not a martial soul true body, so it provided no increase whatsoever to his own defenses.

The intense current coursed through his body, scattering his soul power. From head to toe, he fell into a state of severe paralysis, and his second soul skill was interrupted as a result.

The flames dispersed in midair, revealing Zhao Yongnian's true body.

At that moment, he convulsed constantly beneath the violent current, his eyes rolling back from the shock.

Seeing that Zhao Yongnian had been electrocuted senseless and had lost the ability to resist, Bei Bei immediately stopped his second soul skill. He had no desire to cause a death.

Bang!

Zhao Yongnian's body slammed heavily onto the ground. He was drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.

"Still want to continue?"

A polite smile rested on Bei Bei's handsome face. He showed no arrogance despite holding the upper hand.

Zhao Yongnian laboriously lifted his head to glance at Bei Bei, then gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "The name Thunderclap Dragon truly lives up to its reputation. Your lightning power is too strong. My flame power cannot contend against your lightning. I concede."

After Zhao Yongnian conceded, the referee immediately announced the result.

"The Flame Tiger King concedes! Congratulations to contestant Thunderclap Dragon Bei Bei for achieving fifteen consecutive victories in our Grand Soul Fighting Arena!"

As the referee's voice rang out, the seventh Soul Fighting Hall erupted into passionate cheers.

Some of the bolder girls even cupped their hands around their mouths and began shouting confessions at Bei Bei.

Lin Yan glanced at Zhang Lexuan.

As a transmigrator, he knew a secret that even Bei Bei himself did not yet know.

Zhang Lexuan was Bei Bei's sister in name, but in truth, she was his child bride.

At present, only Zhang Lexuan herself and Bei Bei's great-grandfather, Mu En, knew this secret.

Therefore, when he heard the surrounding young girls beginning to confess to Bei Bei, he instinctively wanted to see Zhang Lexuan's reaction.

When he looked over, Zhang Lexuan showed no anger at all in response to those excited declarations of affection. She merely smiled at Bei Bei on the fighting platform, with a faint trace of gratification in her eyes.

It actually gave off the feeling of seeing "the little brother in my family finally growing up"!

"Zhang Lexuan looks so refined and gentle. Could she possibly have a special preference for 'raising' someone?"

Having noticed this, Lin Yan thought in astonishment.
