Captain's Position?

The 13,500-jin Ruyi Jingu Bang, empowered by Wang Tianyi's current Soul Power, would kill any Soul Elder below the Soul Emperor rank on contact and injure them with a mere graze! Had Wang Tianyi not withdrawn his strength at the very instant the thick Ruyi Jingu Bang was about to strike Yu Tianheng's head, his skull would likely have burst like a watermelon!

Staring at the Golden Cudgel lying before him, Yu Tianheng swallowed hard. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and not a single part of his body was dry. His legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the ground. Death had been only two centimeters away from him.

"Tianheng!"

The Imperial Fighting Team was thoroughly frightened and hurried over anxiously. Qin Ming, standing some distance away, had gone completely stiff. As the referee for this sparring match, he should have reacted—but Wang Tianyi had moved too fast, far too fast for a Three-Ring Soul Elder! Fortunately, Wang Tianyi had held back at the last moment. Yu Tianheng's status was distinguished; if anything had really happened to him, Heaven Dou Royal Academy would have found it difficult to explain matters to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Wang Tianyi looked at Yu Tianheng, who was surrounded like the moon amid stars. Yu Tianheng, meanwhile, studied him with a complicated expression. One was the captain of the Imperial Fighting Team, while the other was a newly arrived, monstrously gifted genius.

"The Qi Tian Martial Soul is terrifying indeed!"

"Welcome to the team, Wang Tianyi!"

The best way to measure someone's worth was with one's fists. Wang Tianyi had earned everyone's respect through his strength.

As Wang Tianyi looked at Yu Tianheng's outstretched hand, Qi Tian and Six Ears were engaged in a frantic battle inside his mind. In the end, given that they bore no grudge against each other and would become teammates in the future, Qi Tian's humble personality gained the upper hand. A warm smile appeared on Wang Tianyi's face as he firmly clasped Yu Tianheng's hand. This demeanor was utterly unlike the distant, unapproachable aura he had displayed not long ago. If not for the identical face, the Imperial Fighting Team members would have thought he had become someone else.

"Worthy of being the world's foremost beast Martial Soul—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's power is truly exceptional! However, Brother Tianheng happened to suffer against lightning. My body is immune to water and fire, and neither foul wind nor thunderous lightning can harm me. Everything earlier was merely an experiment born from my excitement at seeing a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master for the first time. I trust Brother Tianheng won't take it to heart?"

Wang Tianyi's attitude was so good that the lingering resentment in Yu Tianheng's heart vanished on its own out of shame. So Wang Tianyi had not been looking down on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, nor was Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul weak. On the contrary, Wang Tianyi had merely wanted to test the limits of what he could endure. After all, this guy was immune to water and fire, unharmed by wind and lightning...

Wait!

"What did you say? Immune to water and fire, unharmed by wind and lightning?"

Qin Ming was the first to react. He let out a startled cry and stared at Wang Tianyi as if he were some kind of monster!

"Yeah, isn't that a little too outrageous?"

"If that's really true, wouldn't you counter the four elemental academies?"

"Does such an absurdly overpowered Martial Soul really exist? If we run into those elemental academies, what would we even fight for? We could just have them hand over the championship!"

They all talked at once, dumbfounded. What Wang Tianyi had said was simply too exaggerated. If things were really as he claimed, then Divine Wind, Blazing Fire, Sky Water, and Thunder—those four advanced Soul Master Academies—were about to meet their strictest father! Wang Tianyi could ignore Yu Tianheng's lightning despite a full seven-level gap in Soul Power. What were the other four elemental academies supposed to do? After all, they could not produce Soul King-level experts.

"It isn't that exaggerated. This ability comes from my second Soul Ring..."

Wang Tianyi scratched his head, wearing a humble expression. On this matter, he had told a small lie.

The second Soul Ring of Wang Tianyi's Qi Tian Martial Soul came from a Diamond Gorilla, an immensely powerful strength-type soul beast with extraordinary defenses. After absorbing that Soul Ring, Wang Tianyi had gained a rather formidable soul skill: Immortal Golden Body!

However, this soul skill had absolutely nothing to do with his immunity to water and fire or his resistance to wind and lightning.

There was nothing particularly remarkable about the soul skill. Aside from increasing his physical strength by 500%, it also had one utterly unremarkable effect: absolute immunity to the first attack.

It was truly unremarkable. Although this soul skill could defend against a full-force strike from a God King and withstand the ninth soul skill of a Limit Douluo, it could only be used once a day! And if he wanted to increase the number of uses, he would have to wait until he possessed a Martial Soul Avatar.

With so many restrictions, wasn't it ordinary?

As his strength steadily grew, Wang Tianyi gradually mastered the abilities granted by his two super Martial Souls. For him, powerful elemental immunity was simply instinct. Beyond that, the Six-Eared Perfected Lord Martial Soul had also given him the ability to hear the voices of all things. Wang Tianyi could no longer remember the rest. Those abilities had become instincts, completely fused into his body.

"Your second soul skill? That's still ridiculously overpowered, okay!"

Wang Tianyi had not revealed all his trump cards, as they were simply too shocking. Yet even so, it did nothing to lessen their astonishment. Aside from Wang Tianyi, every Soul Master's first two Soul Rings were Hundred-Year Soul Rings. What powerful soul skills could Hundred-Year Soul Rings possibly provide? Some high-level Soul Masters even used only their ten-thousand-year soul skills; the power granted by the first four Soul Rings was merely transitional.

But in Wang Tianyi's case...

They did not even dare imagine how outrageous his immunity to these four elements would become once he cultivated to the realm of Titled Douluo!

This was simply...

"Too damn awesome!"

Yu Feng's eyes lit up. He shoved Osler beside him away with his butt and eagerly moved forward.

"Classmate Tianyi—no, Brother Tianyi—are your other soul skills also insanely awesome? Can you show us?"

"Sure, sure!"

The atmosphere instantly became lively, and Wang Tianyi became the center of attention. Even though Qi Tian Martial Soul's humble personality was currently in control, Wang Tianyi still liked this feeling very much.

Their bursts of laughter even made them forget about today's training. Wang Tianyi behaved generously, showing no trace of stage fright. Though these youths were generally four or five years older than him, he still moved among them with effortless ease.

As they chatted, Yu Tianheng suddenly remembered something, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Tianheng, what's wrong?"

Dugu Yan had been smiling brightly at the occasional modern phrases Wang Tianyi blurted out, laughing without any concern for her image. But she soon noticed Yu Tianheng's odd behavior beside her and instinctively asked after him.

It was clear that Yu Tianheng was deeply conflicted. The laughter gradually died down, and everyone turned their attention toward him. After a moment, Yu Tianheng made up his mind. He took a deep breath and forced a smile onto his face.

"It's nothing. But Classmate Tianyi, you won our match just now. According to the Imperial Fighting Team's rules, the strongest person takes the captain's position! So the captain's seat should rightfully be yours!"
