After registering his rank and identity at the front desk, he went to the contestants' waiting room to await the first round of soul fighting.

"Another six-year-old genius. Why have there been so many geniuses at our Suotuo City Soul Arena lately?"

The person in charge of registration muttered quietly.

Six-year-old Soul Master prodigies were rare to begin with, yet so many had appeared in such a short time.

It was inevitable that they would draw attention.

"Although I was very careful, the title of genius really is too eye-catching."

"But attracting attention may not necessarily be a bad thing. If everyone knows me, it proves that this identity truly exists."

"If someone witnesses it, then it truly exists."

Qin Qi keenly caught that quiet mutter and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

He decided it was not a bad thing, but one identity as Feng Jiuy​​e was enough in this city.

If he wanted to create more identities, he would have to register in other cities.

Still thinking, Qin Qi entered the contestants' waiting room. Before long, it was his turn.

"That was pretty quick. I wonder which unlucky little fool my opponent will be."

As Qin Qi walked through the contestants' passage, a smile spread across his face. As a level-twenty Soul Grandmaster, he was suppressing his strength to crush weaker opponents.

That was truly wicked.

But if neither you nor I crushed the little fish, when would they ever grow?

He emerged from the contestants' passage onto the arena stage, where his opponent was already standing.

The opponent had black hair and a lightning-shaped mark on his forehead.

He wore extremely luxurious clothing and always looked at people with his chin raised.

"Yu Tianheng!"

"Why was this kid here?"

Seeing Yu Tianheng here, Qin Qi immediately frowned.

But he understood the next second.

"It must be that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen's doing."

"He probably wanted Yu Tianheng to challenge me and display the strength of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

As Qin Qi pondered, he had already stepped onto the stage.

"Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Level-nineteen Battle Soul Master!"

Yu Tianheng held his head high, his eyes full of pride as he spoke.

"Feng Jiuy​​e, Martial Soul: Undying Bird. Level-twelve defense-type Soul Master."

Qin Qi announced his name as well, considering whether he should win or lose this match.

If two geniuses capable of fighting above their level appeared in the same Soul Arena at once,

it might be troublesome if people linked them together.

Still, the odds of that were low. Their appearances, names, and Martial Souls were all different.

"I don't bully little brats. You should surrender on your own and jump down."

"Otherwise, it would be bad if I made you cry the moment I attacked."

Yu Tianheng looked at the tiny Qin Qi and spoke with disdain.

He could take on five little brats like this by himself.

He looked so frail and delicate. One punch from him would probably make him cry for half the day.

Seriously, what had Grandpa Clan Leader sent him here for?

How could anyone here possibly be his opponent?

"Fine, I've decided. I'll beat this brat senseless!"

"I'll show him how harsh the world can be and teach him what ruthless really means!"

Qin Qi's hesitation vanished in an instant. Today, he had to give this brat in front of him a good beating.

He would teach Yu Tianheng what it meant to keep a low profile!

First Soul Skill: Rebirth Through Flame!

Blue-green flames covered Qin Qi's entire body, increasing all his physical attributes by ten percent!

He charged directly at Yu Tianheng, preparing to fight hand-to-hand.

"He actually wants to fight me up close. What an idiot."

"I'm older than you, and my Soul Power is higher. You have no chance in a close-range fight!"

"Today, I'll give you a proper lesson and show you the difference between heaven and earth!"

First Soul Skill: Thunderclap Dragon Claw!

Yu Tianheng reacted immediately when he saw Qin Qi rushing toward him.

Blue lightning formed into the shape of a dragon claw over his palm. As Yu Tianheng thrust his hand forward,

the Thunderclap Dragon Claw let out a crackling roar and flew at Qin Qi with astonishing speed.

"Perfect. I can test my defense and recovery."

The swift Thunderclap Dragon Claw seemed incredibly slow in Qin Qi's eyes, and he could have easily dodged it.

But there was no need. He wanted to see just how strong the Undying Bird Martial Soul's defense and recovery truly were.

Qin Qi met the Thunderclap Dragon Claw head-on, and the violent lightning struck him directly.

Yet the instant the Thunderclap Dragon Claw hit him, blue-green flames covered the area that had been struck.

There was no bleeding, no injury, not even any pain.

Only a slight expenditure of blue-green flames.

"How is that possible?!"

Yu Tianheng froze when he saw Qin Qi take his attack head-on without suffering the slightest injury.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the world's strongest attack-type Beast Martial Soul.

Its offensive power was immensely fierce and tyrannical.

Yu Tianheng had never seen anyone at the same level who could ignore his Thunderclap Dragon Claw!

"You're still spacing out? Get down!"

Taking advantage of Yu Tianheng's stunned lapse, Qin Qi rushed in front of him and struck from above.

A Rising Dragon Fist sent Yu Tianheng flying one or two meters into the air.

Thud!

Yu Tianheng fell from the air and hit the ground with a thud.

"Yu Tianheng has lost his ability to fight. Feng Jiuy​​e wins!"

The referee checked Yu Tianheng's condition, confirmed that he had already passed out, and announced the result.

After saying that, he looked at Qin Qi in amazement.

"This child is another peerless genius."

"With level-twelve Soul Power, he challenged a level-nineteen opponent and defeated him with a single punch."

"His combat ability is incredible."

The referee could not help thinking of Qin Qi's other identity, Luo Mian.

Luo Mian had maintained an undefeated streak ever since his debut and had never lost despite challenging opponents above his level many times.

What would happen if these two met?

The referee could not help but look forward to it. What kind of spectacular scene would unfold when two young geniuses collided?

"No injuries, and I wasn't even affected by lightning paralysis."

"This Undying Bird really put all its attribute points into defense and recovery."

Qin Qi clenched his fist and looked at the blue-green flames blazing over his body.

He felt somewhat unsatisfied.

"This kid is still too inexperienced. He lacks real combat experience."

"He probably had never seen a style of fighting that ignored attacks and traded injury for injury."

"The first time he encountered it, he panicked, so I knocked him out with one punch."

Qin Qi looked at Yu Tianheng lying on the ground, figuring that Yu Tianheng had probably not yet gone out to train.

Even if he had sparring partners within the clan, those would only be orderly practice bouts.

Who would dare charge in recklessly like Qin Qi had?

"What a shame he passed out. Otherwise, I definitely would have mocked him properly."

Qin Qi felt somewhat regretful. He had wanted to ridicule Yu Tianheng after defeating him.

But it seemed that was impossible now.

"Forget it. I'll handle the important matters first: gather information and steal Soul Power."

"And the time should be about right. It's time to get revenge on that crooked merchant Flender."

A smile appeared at the corner of Qin Qi's mouth. He was not someone who could endure being wronged.

He still remembered how Flender had provoked him back then. Now it was time for revenge!
