The Captain's Position?

The 13,500-jin Ruyi Jingu Bang, empowered by Wang Tianyi's current Soul Power, would kill on contact and wound with a touch anyone below a Soul Emperor, let alone a Soul Elder! If Wang Tianyi had not withdrawn his strength at the very instant the thick Ruyi Jingu Bang was about to strike Yu Tianheng's head, his skull would likely have burst like a watermelon!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 suspended before him, Yu Tianheng swallowed hard. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and not a spot on his body was dry. His legs gave out beneath him, and he collapsed to the ground. Death had been merely two centimeters away.

"Tianheng!"

The members of the Imperial Fighting Team were startled and hurried over anxiously. Qin Ming, standing some distance away, had gone completely rigid. As the referee for this spar, 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 end. Yu Tianheng's status was distinguished; if anything had truly happened to him, Heaven Dou Royal Academy would have found it difficult to explain things to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Wang Tianyi looked at Yu Tianheng, who was surrounded like the moon among stars. Yu Tianheng was also studying him with a complicated expression. One was the captain of the Imperial Fighting Team; the other was a newly arrived, peerless prodigy.

"The Heaven-Equaling Martial Soul is terrifying indeed!"

"Welcome to the team, Wang Tianyi!"

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

As he looked at Yu Tianheng's outstretched hand, Qi Tian and Six Ears fought fiercely within Wang Tianyi's 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 grasped Yu Tianheng's hand. This demeanor was completely different from the aloof aura he had displayed not long ago. If not for his identical appearance, the Imperial Fighting Team members would have thought he had become a different person.

"As expected of the world's number one Beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's power is indeed exceptional! However, Brother Tianheng suffered against lightning. This body of mine is immune to water and fire, and neither foul winds nor thunder can harm it. Earlier, I was merely trying things out on a whim since it was my first time encountering a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master. I assume Brother Tianheng won't take it to heart?"

Wang Tianyi's attitude was so good that the last remnants of resentment in Yu Tianheng's heart vanished in 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 only wanted to test the limits of his endurance. After all, the kid was immune to water and fire, untouched by wind and lightning...

Wait!

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

Qin Ming was the first to react. He let out a strange cry of shock, looking at Wang Tianyi as if he were some kind of monster!

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

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

"Can such an overpowered Martial Soul really exist? If we run into those elemental academies, why would we even need to fight? We could just have them hand over the championship!"

Everyone talked at once, dumbfounded. What Wang Tianyi had said was simply too exaggerated. If things were truly as he claimed, then Divine Wind, Blazing Fire, Sky Water, and Thunder—the four advanced Soul Master Academies—were about to meet the strictest father imaginable!

Wang Tianyi's Soul Power was a full seven levels lower, yet he could ignore Yu Tianheng's lightning. What could the other four elemental academies possibly do? After all, they could not produce Soul King-level powerhouses.

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

Wang Tianyi scratched his head, putting on a modest appearance. Regarding this, he had told a small lie.

The second Soul Ring of Wang Tianyi's Qi Tian Martial Soul came from a Diamond Gorilla, a power-type soul beast with extraordinarily formidable defense. After absorbing that Soul Ring, Wang Tianyi had obtained an exceptionally powerful soul skill: Immortal Golden Body!

However, the effect of this soul skill had 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. Other than increasing his physical strength by 500%, it also had one utterly ordinary effect: absolute immunity to the first attack.

It truly was utterly ordinary. While 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 per day!

Moreover, if he wanted to increase the number of times he could use it, he had to wait until he possessed a Martial Soul Avatar.

With so many restrictions, wasn't that ordinary enough?

As his strength gradually increased, Wang Tianyi had progressively mastered the abilities bestowed by his two super Martial Souls. For him, powerful elemental immunity was merely instinct. In addition, the Six-Eared Perfected Lord Martial Soul had granted him the ability to hear the voices of all things.

Wang Tianyi could no longer remember the rest. Those abilities had already become instincts, thoroughly integrated into his body.

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

Wang Tianyi did not reveal all of his trump cards, since that would have been far too shocking. 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 provide?

Some high-level Soul Masters only used their Ten-Thousand-Year soul skills. The power granted by their first four Soul Rings was merely transitional.

But for Wang Tianyi...

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

This was simply...

"So damn awesome!"

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

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

"Of course, of course!"

The atmosphere immediately became lively. Wang Tianyi became the center of attention, and even though Qi Tian Martial Soul's humble personality was currently in control, Wang Tianyi still enjoyed this feeling.

Their bursts of laughter even made them forget about the day's training. Wang Tianyi behaved generously, without the slightest hint of stage fright. Facing youths generally four or five years older than himself, he remained completely at ease.

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

"Tianheng, what's wrong?"

Dugu Yan had been smiling broadly at the occasional modern terms that slipped from Wang Tianyi's mouth, laughing without any regard for her image. However, she soon noticed Yu Tianheng's odd behavior beside her and instinctively asked after him.

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

"Nothing. But Tianyi, you won the match just now. According to the Imperial Fighting Team's rules, the strong should hold the captain's position! Therefore, the captain's position should rightfully be yours!"
