The Clown Yu Xiaogang, the Rabbit Defeats the Eagle

"The cunning rabbit has finally made its appearance; this is going to be a good show." Huo Lei's lips curled up, his heart filled with both excitement and anticipation.

On the field, the fourth student from the Thunderclap Academy defeated two students from the Shrek Academy in a row, and was quite exhausted. Facing Xiao Wu in her prime, she was powerless to resist and was defeated by Xiao Wu in no time.

The fifth contestant from the Thunderclap Academy makes his appearance.

"The important figures are starting to appear. This student should be called Lei Tian, Soul Master with the Thunder Eagle Martial Soul. Next is Lei Dong, and the last one is Yu Tianxin, the captain of the Thunderclap Academy. The most interesting of these three are the latter two. Lei Tian has a great advantage, but unfortunately he was too careless." Huo Lei's memories flashed through his mind instantly.

Xie Chong stood in the stands and sighed softly, "Shrek Academy's tactical arrangement is excellent. Their lineup seems random, but it perfectly counters their opponents. The Wisdom Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle truly lives up to his reputation."

"Hmph! He's nothing but a clown." Huo Lei couldn't help but sneer when he heard Xie Chong praise Yu Xiaogang.

Hearing Huo Lei's words, Xie Chong looked at him with a hint of surprise, "A clown? Huo Lei, what makes you say that?"

Huo Lei smiled and said, "Teacher Xie Chong, didn't you mention the story of the Golden Iron Triangle to us before? Later, I asked my father and learned more about them."

"Why do I call Yu Xiaogang, this Wisdom Horn, a clown? The reasons are simple. First, his Martial Soul is incomplete, limiting his Soul Power cultivation and forcing him to spend far more time researching than other Soul Master his age. Second, theory is just theory; he's never actually practiced it. A Soul Grandmaster couldn't possibly understand the sensations of absorbing Thousand-Year Soul Ring or Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. He relies on his powerful family background, undoubtedly possessing many precious books recording a vast amount of Soul Master theory—in short, he's just piecing together other people's summaries and claiming it as his own—how shameless! He'll never know the true taste of a dish until he's tasted it himself. Third, his ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring is a Yu Xiaogang the face. Finally, and most importantly, he can't even solve his own incomplete Martial Soul problem; what right does he have to call himself Grandmaster? To put it bluntly, which Titled Douluo doesn't possess more Soul Master knowledge than him, yet none of them call themselves Grandmaster?"

Xie Chong looked at Huo Lei in surprise, his eyes filled with confusion.

After a moment, Xie Chong came to his senses and gave an awkward smile. "I suddenly realize that what you said makes a lot of sense."

Huo Lei smiled and said, "Teacher Xie Chong, if you were the teacher leading the Shrek Academy, how would you arrange things against an opponent like Thunderclap Academy?"

Xie Chong pondered for a moment and then said, "Well... if I were to arrange it, the lineup would probably be similar to the current one."

Huo Lei chuckled and said, "That's right! If you can arrange this, then what's the advantage of the Wisdom Horn? It's just like being a regular Soul Master teacher! The title of 'Grandmaster' is a joke; don't take it seriously."

Xie Chong's face was full of surprise. "Huo Lei, I didn't expect your thinking to be so sharp, to be able to see things so clearly."

Huo Lei waved his hand modestly and said, "It's nothing. A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Bad things and people, through flattery or the spread of information by those unaware of the truth, can turn a joke or a sarcastic remark into an honor. After all, the word 'Grandmaster' sounds very deceptive."

Xie Chong nodded unconsciously, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Huo Lei.

At this moment, Huo Lei's attention had turned to the competition field.

Lei Tian had already released his Martial Soul. At the same time, accompanied by a thunderous roar, a pair of wings crackling with twisted lightning suddenly unfolded, his Third Soul Ring shone with purple light, and his body soared into the sky.

"What beautiful wings! They look just like my External Soul Bone, 'Thunder Wings.' The feeling of soaring is wonderful! However, the electricity on his wings is clearly not as strong as mine." Huo Lei remarked after seeing the Lei Dong Thunder Eagle's wings.

Xiao Wu stood still, her attention following her opponent's movements, but she herself made no movement.

Lei Tian was in the air, arms outstretched, and his Fourth Soul Ring lit up after his Third Soul Ring, the two purple Soul Ring resonating around his body. One could even clearly feel the lightning element in the air frantically gathering.

Xiao Wu simply waited quietly, pulling her scorpion braid in front of her with her right hand, putting on an innocent expression.

Two Soul Ring flashed simultaneously, and blue-purple electric snakes began to surge rapidly around Lei Tian's body. A dark blue phantom emerged from behind him, which was his Martial Soul, Thunder Eagle.

Streaks of lightning were converging on the Thunder Eagle's body, forming a massive blue-purple sphere within a five-meter diameter radius centered on Lei Tian. Drawn by the Lightning, the entire sky seemed to darken. The condensing Lightning grew ever stronger, seemingly poised to erupt at any moment.

Xiao Wu's clothes moved without wind, but she remained still.

Huo Lie muttered curiously, "Why isn't this Shrek Academy girl moving? Is she scared out of her wits?"

Huo Jun rolled his eyes at Huo Lie and said, "Are you stupid? That girl can't fly, so moving is useless. She seems to be looking for the right opportunity to strike."

Huo Lie retorted defiantly, "Fine, fine! You think you're so smart?"

Huo Yun: "Alright! Let's watch the game! What's all the fuss about?"

The enormous Thunder Eagle had grown to five meters in length, and Lei Tian's body quietly merged into that immense energy. The eyes of the Thunder Eagle Martial Soul lit up; they were Lei Tian's eyes, locking onto Xiao Wu. The massive Thunder Eagle descended from the sky, carrying unparalleled momentum and pressure, its attack range encompassing the distance Xiao Wu Teleportation.

Just as Thunder Eagle turned and descended, Xiao Wu finally moved, and a purple Soul Ring swirled around her.

"Teleportation!"

Xiao Wu flashed and was already five meters away.

Thunder Eagle changed its position slightly in the air, still rushing towards Xiao Wu. Just then, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

"The second Soul Skill, Charm!"

Pink light emanated from Xiao Wu's eyes, and Thunder Eagle's eyes immediately met them, causing the massive energy in mid-air to pause slightly. At that moment, Xiao Wu bent her legs and her body suddenly shot into the air.

"Sigh! Lei Tian did quite well at the beginning, but how come he was blinded by Xiao Wu's eyes at the crucial moment! Otherwise, with his advantages in flight and level, he would have had no problem winning against her." Huo Lei was annoyed and felt sorry for Lei Tian.

Lei Tian was only in a daze for a moment before his body changed direction in mid-air.

Xiao Wu quickly changed positions to prevent Lei Tian from locking onto her in the air.

The energy had already condensed and was ready to be released. Lei Tian controlled the energy gathered by the Thunder Eagle and blasted it down towards Xiao Wu, but she still managed to dodge it.

At this moment, Lei Tian was already very low to the ground, and the lightning around him had dimmed, clearly indicating that his Soul Skill were insufficient. Xiao Wu seized the opportunity and kicked him away.

Lei Tian crashed heavily to the ground from the air, instantly losing his fighting ability and losing the match.
