Promising Youth, Pride of Heaven

After watching Principal Su leave, Li Daotian said thoughtfully, "Gangzi, go find out which academy is coming to our college this time, how many people they have, and how strong their strongest member is."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly. "Don't worry. I'll definitely get to the bottom of this, Young Master. You don't need to worry."

"Still, Young Master, you should focus on cultivation. You're still young, so there's no need to compete fiercely with those upperclassmen."

"Just cultivate diligently. Once you reach the higher grades, there will be plenty of opportunities for practical training."

Yu Xiaogang meant that Li Daotian was still young and had no need to spar with older students. He only needed to raise his Soul Power.

Li Daotian shook his head. "If I want to improve quickly, I need to spar with opponents. That's the only way to identify my weaknesses and make up for them."

"I've decided that I must surpass Level 30 by the time I graduate from sixth grade, so I have to work hard now."

"This is a rare opportunity. How could I possibly miss it?"

Li Daotian had long made up his mind and waved Yu Xiaogang off.

Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to say nothing more.

"Alright, you can all go back now. I'll study the Overbearing Spear first. While there's still time, I'll master the Overlord Spear techniques and strengthen my trump cards."

Li Daotian said this to the two of them.

"Yes, Young Master."

Yu Xiaogang gave a respectful bow, then walked outside.

"Brother Tian, don't worry. As long as we join forces, we'll definitely be unbeatable!"

"No matter who comes this time, we'll definitely win."

Xiao Wu said proudly.

She did not take the other opponents seriously at all. Even those upperclassmen were no match for her.

"Xiao Wu, don't underestimate the enemy. There may be someone unusual among the people coming this time. We should still proceed carefully. Don't disgrace Notting College when the time comes."

Li Daotian spoke seriously yet modestly. He knew that since the other side had taken the initiative to send a visiting group here, they must have come prepared. They might even have brought freakishly powerful contestants.

"Mm, I understand. Then cultivate well, Brother Tian. I'll head back first."

Xiao Wu took Li Daotian's words to heart. She blinked, planted a kiss on his cheek, then skipped away.

"This girl... what will become of her when she grows up?"

Li Daotian rubbed his little face and sighed.

As he spoke, he opened the box Yu Xiaogang had given him, took out the Overbearing Spear manual, and began studying it carefully.

As its name suggested, the Overbearing Spear focused on domineering, fierce killing strikes. Every move carried an imposing aura.

When paired with an Overbearing Spear, its power would be immense.

However, he did not have such a weapon in hand. After thinking it over, he decided to use the Mystic Bamboo Pith Long Thorn in place of the Overlord Spear.

That Long Thorn could pierce through a Forest Flood Dragon's hide armor, so it was exceptionally sharp.

If he used it as an Overbearing Spear, it should be able to unleash the technique's power, pierce ordinary Martial Soul defenses, and produce unexpected results.

This Combat Technique manual would probably be difficult for someone who had never practiced martial arts to pick up. But for him, getting started was relatively easy, and there were not many difficult parts. He merely needed to remember the moves and cultivation method, then combine them with his own strength to wield the Overbearing Spear.

The greater his own energy, the stronger the Overbearing Spear would become.

Of course, Li Daotian's physique was what it was, so he had an even greater advantage when wielding the Overbearing Spear.

"I didn't expect Gangzi to have such a good eye. He picked such an extraordinary martial arts technique for me. I'll definitely master the Overbearing Spear within ten days."

Li Daotian silently made up his mind.

Over the following days, Li Daotian immersed himself in cultivating the Overbearing Spear.

He first familiarized himself completely with the manual. Then, every day after class, he used the Long Thorn to practice spear techniques on the lawn.

Xiao Wu watched intently from the side, occasionally stepping in to spar with him.

Xiao Wu's movement technique was extremely nimble, but under the Overbearing Spear's attacks, she repeatedly ran into trouble and was even scratched by it several times. If Li Daotian had not held back, she would already have been injured.

This left Xiao Wu quite dissatisfied. She had always been confident in her speed and reactions.

Yet beneath Li Daotian's Overbearing Spear, they had actually failed her!

"Xiao Wu, stop holding back. Use your Martial Soul and test my Overbearing Spear."

Li Daotian was not the least bit arrogant. He knew very well that Xiao Wu was capable of far more than this.

This little girl had possessed a Martial Soul Skill for a long time. If she used her Soul Skill, he might not be able to restrain her.

"Brother Tian, you said it. Don't cry when the time comes."

Li Daotian finally persuaded Xiao Wu. She circulated her Soul Power and began using her First Soul Skill, Bow Waist.

The defining feature of this Soul Skill was that it brought out her flexibility and the strength of her waist, allowing her speed and reactions to reach astonishing heights and enabling her body to display flexibility beyond what ordinary people could achieve.

As her Soul Skill unfolded, Li Daotian truly began to feel the pressure.

Xiao Wu would occasionally close in on him, even attempting to wrap her arms around his waist and throw him violently to the ground.

Li Daotian would not let her succeed. Using the Overbearing Spear's advantage, he repeatedly forced Xiao Wu back and made her dodge.

Their struggle grew even more intense.

This constantly tempered Li Daotian's Overbearing Spear techniques as he sought to make them faster, steadier, and stronger.

By then, quite a few students had gathered on the lawn to watch, and many began applauding.

They were all astonished by the fight before them.

"Strong, so strong! The match between Sister Xiao Wu and Boss Daotian is truly eye-opening."

"When the Luotian City Study Group comes over this time, they'll definitely get crushed, right?"

"With Brother Daotian and Sister Xiao Wu here, we definitely won't have to worry about anything."

The students' eyes were filled with admiration and envy.

"I never expected Boss Daotian's combat techniques to reach such a level. During this break, my father made me study Soul Power intensely, and I even learned some Combat Techniques."

"I thought my strength had improved, but in front of Boss Daotian, it really isn't worth mentioning!"

The speaker was Xiao Chenyu, the city lord's son. Seeing the scene before him, he felt that his breakthrough during the break was simply insignificant compared to Li Daotian's.

Before such a freak, all he could do was admit defeat.

Clap! Clap!

"Good! Truly a promising youth!"

"As expected of the pride of heaven of our Notting College!"

At that moment, Principal Su also walked over, applauding with both hands and wearing a highly satisfied smile. Yu Xiaogang followed at his side.

When the students saw him, they all turned toward him, bowed, and called out, "Greetings, Principal!"

Principal Su waved his hand, then pointed at Li Daotian. "Children, Li Daotian is your role model!"

"You must learn from him properly!"

The students all nodded. "Yes, Principal."

Hearing the commotion, Li Daotian and Xiao Wu both withdrew their attacks and stopped, turning to look in that direction.
