Osler charged out from the flank.
The Netherworld Panther granted him incredible speed.
His two clawed hands bypassed the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus and went straight for Lin Tian's back.
Lin Tian did not even turn around.
He stepped backward.
His shoulder slammed directly into Osler's chest.
Bang!
The protective Soul Power over Osler's chest shattered on the spot.
His body flew sideways and crashed into Shi Mo's Black Tortoise Shell.
The two of them were sent back more than ten meters at the same time.
Yu Feng swooped down from midair.
Two azure wind blades condensed along the edges of his wings.
"Wind Wing Slash!"
Lin Tian raised his head.
He reached upward with his right hand.
The two wind blades exploded in his palm.
The shattered blades failed to leave even a wound on his skin.
Before Yu Feng could fly back up, Lin Tian had already grabbed his ankle.
With a casual swing of his arm.
Yu Feng smashed into the Soul Battle Platform.
A large section of stone slabs caved inward.
Lin Tian released his grip.
The Tank Engine began to operate.
His bones and muscles rapidly expanded.
One point nine meters.
Two point five meters.
Three meters.
Four meters!
His black-and-gold combat outfit extended outward along with his changing body.
His broad shoulders blocked Hu Liena and the others from view.
The muscles in his arms bulged.
A surging aura of blood and vitality rose into the sky above the Soul Battle Arena.
Forty-five Tank Engine enhancements.
The strength, speed, stamina, and defense provided by dozens of Attribute Forgers completely manifested at this moment.
Lin Tian took a step forward.
Boom!
The entire Soul Battle Platform sank with him.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo stepped forward at the same time to block him.
Two Black Tortoise Shells overlapped.
Their second Soul Rings lit up simultaneously.
"Black Tortoise Shield!"
Heavy Soul Power gathered into a gigantic shield.
Lin Tian did not stop.
His body crashed directly into the Black Tortoise Shield.
Crack!
A fissure split open in the center of the shield.
Dense cracks swiftly spread in every direction.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo's faces turned red.
They simultaneously pushed all their Soul Power to the limit, yet they could not stop Lin Tian from advancing.
The Black Tortoise Shield exploded with a bang.
Lin Tian raised both arms.
His two massive hands pressed down on the Shi Brothers' Black Tortoise Shells.
He swept both arms outward.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo were thrown off the Soul Battle Platform at the same time.
They landed beside Yu Tianheng, their Black Tortoise Shells vanishing one after another.
Dugu Yan watched Lin Tian approach her.
The four Soul Rings beneath her feet lit up at once.
A vast cloud of jade-green poison mist spewed from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's mouth.
The poison mist formed into a giant python that coiled around Lin Tian's body.
The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus swayed gently.
Azure Divine Light spilled down from behind Lin Tian.
The jade-green giant python had barely raised its head before it completely dissolved in the azure light.
Dugu Yan retreated.
"Why is my poison useless against you?"
"Your poison is too weak."
Lin Tian raised his hand.
A thick vine burst through the Soul Battle Platform.
The vine wrapped around Dugu Yan's waist and sent her out of the arena.
Dugu Yan was not injured when she landed.
But she had already left the competition area.
Only Ye Lingling remained from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
She stood at the very back of the Soul Battle Platform.
The pink-and-white Nine-Heart Begonia floated between her hands.
Healing-type Soul Masters were never skilled at direct combat.
With Yu Tianheng and the others all defeated, she no longer had the ability to continue fighting.
Ye Lingling looked at the figure towering over four meters tall and let out a soft breath.
"I concede."
The referee stood at the edge of the Soul Battle Platform.
He glanced at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy members who had all left the arena, then looked toward Hu Liena and the others, who had never made a move.
Spirit Hall Academy had sent out only one person.
The other six team members had not even released their Martial Souls.
Lin Tian had defeated the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team head-on by himself.
The referee raised his right hand.
"The match is over!"
"The winners are the Spirit Hall Academy representative team!"
The Soul Battle Arena remained silent.
Countless gazes focused on Lin Tian.
Four Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings.
Yu Tianheng defeated with a single palm strike.
The Black Tortoise Shield shattered through sheer physical force.
The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison was utterly useless before the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.
None of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's seven main members could stop him.
Lin Tian withdrew the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.
The four pitch-black Soul Rings sank back into his body.
His body, which stood over four meters tall, slowly returned to normal.
Hu Liena led the rest of the Spirit Hall members to his side.
Yan glanced at Yu Tianheng outside the arena.
"We didn't even get a chance to release our Martial Souls."
Xie Yue withdrew his gaze from the shattered Soul Battle Platform.
"This is the captain's current strength."
Lin Tian ignored the gazes around him.
He turned and led the Spirit Hall Academy representative team off the Soul Battle Platform.
Only after the seven of them entered the passageway did deafening cheers erupt throughout the Soul Battle Arena once more.
After the Spirit Hall Academy representative team left the platform, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy members gradually climbed back to their feet.
Yu Tianheng's shoulder had already been healed by Ye Lingling.
Yet his face remained pale.
When that palm had struck him, he had clearly felt an irresistible force.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's lightning had been scattered with a single blow.
Even his body had lost all ability to resist before that power.
"Captain."
Dugu Yan walked to Yu Tianheng's side.
She turned to look toward the passageway, her jade-green eyes filled with anger.
"That Lin Tian is far too arrogant."
"He never took us seriously at all."
Yu Tianheng did not answer.
He raised his head and looked at the Soul Battle Platform.
The sturdy platform had already been reduced to ruins.
The stone slabs around it were covered in cracks, while several edges had collapsed outright.
Lin Tian had merely released his Martial Soul, yet the entire Soul Battle Arena had fallen silent.
Four Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings circled the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.
Each black Soul Ring seemed to silently prove his strength.
Dugu Yan bit her red lip.
"I'll make him pay."
"The match is already over."
Yu Tianheng frowned.
"What else do you want to do?"
"I only want to greet him."
Dugu Yan turned and walked away.
Yu Tianheng reached out to stop her, but Shi Mo grabbed his arm.
"Let her go."
Shi Mo watched Dugu Yan's retreating figure.
"You know her temper."
"What if something really goes wrong?"
Yu Tianheng's brow furrowed even more deeply.
But Dugu Yan had already gone far away.
Elsewhere.
Lin Tian led the Spirit Hall Academy members back to the rest area.
Spectators lined both sides of the passageway.
Countless eyes followed him.
Whispers came from every direction.
"Forty-five levels of Soul Power, yet he defeated Heaven Dou Royal Academy by himself."
"Four Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings, that combination is terrifying."
"When did Spirit Hall produce such a genius?"
"He did not even use a Soul Skill just now."
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy lost far too quickly."
Hu Liena walked beside Lin Tian.
She glanced back at Yan behind them.
"You were already preparing to make a move on the platform, weren't you?"
Yan rubbed his nose.
"I just wanted to see whether I could help."
Xie Yue spoke calmly. "The captain doesn't need help at all."
"I know."
Yan looked at Lin Tian ahead of him.
"But watching opponents get knocked off one after another without even getting a chance to make a move really feels uncomfortable."
"There'll be opportunities later."
Lin Tian did not turn around.
"The upcoming matches won't all be like Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Yan immediately perked up.
"Captain, let me fight in the next match."
"We'll see."
Lin Tian led everyone into the rest area.
On the viewing platform not far away, Xue Qinghe had been watching that figure the entire time.
Two years had passed.
Lin Tian's aura had grown so powerful that she could no longer gauge it accurately.
Four Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings.
A massive body over four meters tall.
And strength capable of crushing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon head-on.
Xue Qinghe recalled the Lin Tian she had met in the Great Star Dou Forest.
At the time, Lin Tian had possessed only twenty-third-level Soul Power, yet he had been able to kill a Blackwood Jiao over fifteen thousand years old on his own.
Now, two years later, he had already reached level forty-five.
Such a rate of improvement had surpassed her understanding of what a genius was.
"Lin Tian."
Xue Qinghe murmured softly to herself.
"Just how much power are you still hiding?"
