Wang Tianyi's Other Side

"Tianyi, that was incredible! Your build looks perfectly normal—how could you unleash such tremendous strength?"

After returning from the Spirit Arena, the members of the Imperial Fighting Team surrounded Wang Tianyi. They were all brimming with excitement, as though they could already foresee how easy their upcoming team battles would be.

"Hmph! What is there to praise? If I lost to someone like that, there would be no point in continuing down the path of a Soul Master!"

His arrogant persona had not faded yet. Wang Tianyi was exceptionally haughty at the moment, and Yu Tianheng and the others exchanged glances. Wang Tianyi was good in every way—normally, he treated people kindly, and his strength was more than sufficient—but sometimes he would suddenly go haywire, as if he had become a completely different person.

"Excellent. You've already exceeded my expectations! But Tianyi, when you face pure strength-type Soul Masters like that in the future, don't confront them head-on. Great strength means a cumbersome body. Avoiding their edge is not a sign of fear; it is the most efficient way to defeat them!"

Qin Ming held a notebook with nothing written in it and spoke with a serious expression, but Wang Tianyi was rather disdainful.

"Me, avoid his edge? Is trash like that worthy? Strength—my Qi Tian Martial Soul is the strongest strength-type Martial Soul in the world!"

The Transcendent God-Tier Martial Soul, Qi Tian, was an ultimate assault-type beast Martial Soul. In terms of strength, no one of the same rank could possibly surpass Wang Tianyi. His arrogance came from his formidable strength. When he could crush his opponent outright, dodging was foolish.

Qin Ming was rendered speechless. For a moment, he did not know what to say. After all, the strength Wang Tianyi had displayed was indeed astonishing. In that battle, he had not even used his Martial Soul; relying solely on his physical strength, he had crushed a level-36 strength-type Soul Elder. Looking at it that way, the kid was not wrong...

Before Qin Ming could add anything else, the aura that kept everyone at arm's length vanished from Wang Tianyi under their gazes, replaced by his usual gentleness. The battle was over, his arrogant persona had receded, and Wang Tianyi had returned to his original self.

"Don't worry, Teacher Qin Ming. I'll be more careful in the future!"

Looking at Wang Tianyi's smiling face, Qin Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt powerless.

Don't worry? How could he possibly not worry?!

Watching Wang Tianyi pat his chest in assurance, Qin Ming knew full well that in future battles, this kid would toss today's words halfway across the world. He said he would be careful? Heh. If he did not stand at the very front of the team during group battles and declare that he wanted to take on seven alone, that would already count as restraint...

"Enough. I only hope you'll be more careful on the road ahead! You lot, stop standing around too. The announcement just called your names. Those who need to fight, go fight. And Lingling, try joining Tianyi for a two-on-two match today as well!"

Qin Ming had his own considerations. Support-type Soul Masters were crucial to a team. Ye Lingling's support abilities were especially powerful. If Wang Tianyi experienced the power of a support Soul Master earlier, then in future team battles, he would be able to spare some attention to protect his teammates.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing that, Ye Lingling let out a cry of alarm. It was not that she disliked Wang Tianyi; it was simply that he was somewhat frightening during battle. If she entered the Spirit Arena with someone like him, what if the bad Wang Tianyi came out again? Would he beat her up while he was at it?

With unease in her heart, Ye Lingling cautiously looked toward Wang Tianyi. Yet the moment she did, she froze completely! Wang Tianyi's face was flushed red, steam seemed to billow from his nose, and his eyes gleamed with excitement and exhilaration. If it were any more exaggerated, his eyes would have turned into hearts!

What the hell was this?

"Teacher Qin Ming's suggestion is absolutely right! Senior Lingling, let us join hands in a thrilling battle!"

Wang Tianyi had definitely mastered some kind of teleportation ability; otherwise, there was no way he could have appeared beside Ye Lingling in the blink of an eye. The gentle Wang Tianyi and arrogant Wang Tianyi had both gone offline, replaced by an entirely new version!

"Um, Wang Tianyi, you don't actually need to stand so close. I can hear you clearly..."

Wang Tianyi's enthusiasm left Ye Lingling embarrassed. As one of only two female members of the team, Ye Lingling had always been single and was also the person all the Imperial Fighting Team members competed to protect. A support-type Soul Master and an adorable girl—calling her the team's darling would not be an exaggeration. Osler, Yufeng, and the others were gnashing their teeth. They had never seen Ye Lingling look so shy! What was so good about Wang Tianyi? Wasn't he just a little more handsome than them, in slightly better shape, a little more talented, with a slightly stronger Martial Soul and combat strength that was only a hundred million times greater?

This guy deserved to die! Using the excuse that he was still young to get close to Ye Lingling, he had turned her into a startled rabbit with just a few words. It was too much—simply too much!

Yu Tianheng, who witnessed all this, was equally dumbfounded. He looked at Dugu Yan beside him and discovered that her expression was identical to his. The two stared at each other blankly.

What was this supposed to be now?

"Hey, what are you lot staring at? Why aren't you going to prepare for your Spirit Arena matches?"

The contrast was extreme! Wang Tianyi was exceptionally enthusiastic toward Ye Lingling, but toward Yu Tianheng and the other men, his face was full of impatience and even a hint of disgust. Even Qin Ming was forced back by Wang Tianyi's glare when he tried to step forward and offer a few more instructions. Helplessly, everyone could only disperse and watch Wang Tianyi and Ye Lingling leave.

"Ahem, Tianyi really is a man of temperament! It's understandable that he can't refuse a beautiful girl!"

Qin Ming cleared his throat twice. No one had expected Wang Tianyi to reveal such a nature. Well, he was rather lecherous...

"Senior Lingling, don't worry. I'm very strong. Later, you only need to stand behind me and give me a little support!"

Wang Tianyi's enthusiasm was somewhat unusual, yet Ye Lingling could not feel any dislike toward him. Though Wang Tianyi stayed near her, their bodies had not touched even once from beginning to end. He took the initiative to open doors for her, always walked ahead first when they came to a corner, and respected her opinion when registering. Moreover, when ordinary people tried to court favor, they would definitely insist on covering the registration fee themselves. But Wang Tianyi was different. When he noticed that she was about to pay, he put away half of the full registration fee he had prepared...

They were all tiny details, yet every one of them highlighted Wang Tianyi's perfection!

He was an enthusiastic gentleman with unimaginable passion for beautiful girls!

He was simply a charming bastard, impossible to resist!
