"Your tone is pretty arrogant. I want to beat you up right now."
"But it's too late tonight. If you want to fight, wait until tomorrow morning."
"See you at the Great Soul Arena tomorrow morning."
Qin Qi was about to close the door as he spoke, but just as it had closed a little, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin reached out and grabbed it.
"No, we have to fight tonight, and we're not going to the Great Soul Arena."
"We'll just find somewhere and have a match ourselves."
Yu Tianheng spoke stubbornly, though there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"Not going to the Great Soul Arena?"
"Could it be that you think you can't beat me, so you're planning to gang up on me somewhere with no one around?"
Qin Qi keenly noticed Yu Tianheng's guilty look and grew curious.
What was this brat feeling guilty about?
Could there be some shameful secret?
What could it be?
"No!"
"How could the men of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan do something so disgraceful?"
"If we fight, it'll definitely be a proper one-on-one match."
Yu Tianheng argued.
"If you're not planning to gang up on me, then why insist on fighting tonight instead of going to the Great Soul Arena?"
"Explain it clearly, and I'll fight you. If you can't, then goodbye."
Qin Qi made as if to close the door again.
"We'll tell you. It's because we just arrived, so our soul fighting ranks aren't high enough."
"If we went to the Great Soul Arena, we wouldn't be matched against you. That's why we can only fight privately."
Yu Tianxin hurriedly grabbed the door and explained somewhat shamefully.
"That's all? You two were hemming and hawing, and I thought it was something serious."
"How boring. Fine, I'll fight you. Let's go find somewhere empty outside."
Qin Qi wore a bored expression. He had thought there would be some juicy gossip.
Who would have thought these two brats were merely too proud to admit it? How boring.
Qin Qi stepped out of the room. The three of them found an open area outside and took their positions, ready to fight.
"No need to take turns. The two of you can come at me together."
Qin Qi summoned the Golden Saint Dragon. The six-meter-tall Golden Saint Dragon floated behind him.
Golden light shone all around, turning the dark night into a golden day.
"It's... it's so big!"
Yu Tianheng stared at the Golden Saint Dragon behind Qin Qi and could not help swallowing.
He remembered that his uncle Yu Xiaogang's External Beast Martial Soul was only about the size of a puppy.
Why was this guy's External Beast Martial Soul so huge?
That massive thing could swallow him in one bite!
"You're far too arrogant! One against two—do you think we're those weaklings from the Great Soul Arena?"
"We're geniuses of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"Yu Tianxin, level nineteen, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, First Ring assault-type Battle Soul Master!"
Yu Tianxin immediately became furious upon hearing Qin Qi's words.
One against two—wasn't that blatant provocation?
Wasn't he looking down on them? Yu Tianxin simply could not swallow that insult!
Today, he had to make this little brat understand the immensity of heaven and earth!
"Well, actually, not everyone in the Great Soul Arena is a weakling. There are still some people who can fight."
Yu Tianheng swallowed, recalling the person who had defeated him with a single punch before.
That had also been a six-year-old child, apparently named Feng Jiuye.
That speed, that decisiveness in battle—it had truly been astonishing.
"Luo Mian, level twelve, Golden Saint Dragon Martial Soul, First Ring assault-type Soul Master."
Qin Qi also stated his name. It was courtesy between Soul Masters before a battle.
Once they had announced their names, the battle had begun.
"Thunderclap Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianxin extended his hand, and two blue Thunderclap Dragon Claws shot toward Qin Qi.
"Golden Dragon Claw!"
After Qin Qi spoke, lightning surged over the Golden Saint Dragon's claws as it charged toward Yu Tianxin at top speed.
With nothing more than a swing of its tail, it shattered Yu Tianxin's Thunderclap Dragon Claws.
So strong!
Yu Tianxin was shocked and instinctively tried to dodge, but the Golden Saint Dragon was already right in front of him.
"Roar!"
The Golden Saint Dragon seized Yu Tianxin in one claw and lifted him into the air.
Lightning erupted, and within moments, Yu Tianxin had lost the ability to fight.
"Well? Do you admit defeat?"
Qin Qi looked at Yu Tianxin, who was hanging in the air, and asked with a yawn.
"I admit defeat."
Yu Tianxin lowered his head. Since the day he had been born, he had never lost so miserably.
Never so thoroughly.
Before that enormous dragon, he had been like an ant that could be crushed at will.
"Why is your External Beast Martial Soul so powerful?"
Yu Tianheng stood to the side. His strength was roughly equal to Yu Tianxin's.
Now that Yu Tianxin had been instantly defeated, Yu Tianheng had no desire to challenge Qin Qi either.
Yet he still had one question in his heart.
Yu Xiaogang's External Beast Martial Soul was clearly so weak, so why was Luo Mian's External Beast Martial Soul so powerful?
They were clearly the true inheritors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters."
"You were instantly defeated not just because I'm strong, but also because you're both too weak."
Qin Qi waved his hand. The Golden Saint Dragon set Yu Tianxin down and flew back to Qin Qi's side.
"Roar."
The Golden Saint Dragon rubbed its large head against Qin Qi's body, its big eyes full of longing for praise.
"Good boy, good boy. I'll buy you something tasty later."
Qin Qi patted the Golden Saint Dragon's head and spoke with a smile.
"Roar."
The Golden Saint Dragon happily wriggled through the air like a playful puppy.
"That fierce dragon from before now looks like a little pet."
"This guy really has some skill!"
Yu Tianxin watched the dragon that had just held him in its claws become so obedient in front of Qin Qi, and he was astonished.
At the same time, he was very curious about what exactly an External Beast Martial Soul was.
Why did this Martial Soul seem like a living Soul Beast?
"What do you mean we're too weak? We've never lost a fight in the clan."
"If even we're too weak, then there's no one powerful under heaven."
Yu Tianheng spoke somewhat unwillingly. Although they had lost to Qin Qi—
And had each lost to Qin Qi's two identities—
That had only been an accident. They were still very strong against others.
"Don't be unconvinced. You two really are weak."
"Your Martial Souls, Soul Power, and physical fitness are all very strong. Even if you couldn't beat me, you shouldn't have lost so quickly."
"But your combat experience is terrible. You opened with Thunderclap Dragon Claw right away."
"Do you know that after using Thunderclap Dragon Claw, you suffer a brief moment of stiffness?"
"That brief stiffness is your greatest opening."
Qin Qi spoke with a smile.
The Thunderclap Dragon Claw's power was indeed quite good, especially when paired with the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
It was enough to instantly defeat many people. But if it encountered someone it could not instantly defeat—
Someone strong enough—
Then that move became a huge opening.
"Terrible combat experience... a huge opening."
Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin exchanged glances, and the arrogance in their eyes faded.
They both gathered around Qin Qi.
"Um, cousin, could you explain properly what that means?"
Yu Tianheng spoke somewhat embarrassedly.
He was used to being proud, so lowering his head to ask someone for advice made him feel awkward.
But he had lost twice in a row to children younger than himself with lower Soul Power.
He truly could not accept it. He would rather lower his head and ask for guidance than keep losing.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan should all acquire Soul Rings in the same way, so their Soul Skills were probably similar.
Based on that, Yu Xiaogang's first Soul Ring was most likely the same. The second Soul Ring, however, was harder to say.
