One Dragon Roar Made the Imperial Fighting Geniuses Turn Pale!

With trembling hands, he pulled a dossier from the leather pouch at his side and pushed it before Su Chen, then bowed and withdrew from the secret chamber.

Imperial Fighting Team captain: Yu Tianheng, level thirty-nine Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder. Martial soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Vice-captain: Dugu Yan, level thirty-eight Control System Battle Soul Elder. Martial soul: Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

Defense System: Shi Mo and Shi Mo, levels thirty-seven and thirty-eight. Martial soul: Black Tortoise.

Support System: Ye Lingling, level thirty-five. Martial soul: Nine Heart Begonia...

Su Chen slowly swept his gaze over the dossier.

Yu Tianheng... a prodigy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's direct lineage? The self-proclaimed rightful heir to the world's strongest power-attack beast martial soul? Before my Chaos Ancestral Dragon bloodline, that impure, mixed subdragon bloodline is nothing but a mud loach.

The one who truly interested him was the vice-captain, Dugu Yan.

Her Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul was extremely venomous, but its backlash was equally vicious. With deadly Jade Phosphorous poison scouring their meridians year after year, every descendant of the Dugu Family suffered poison fire corroding the bones, enduring pain worse than death on rainy nights.

And Dugu Yan's grandfather was none other than Dugu Bo, the Titled Douluo who held the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest!

The Imperial Fighting Team that had delivered itself to his doorstep was far more than a hefty bounty of gold soul coins. It was also a key he could naturally drive straight into Dugu Bo's weak spot.

As long as he publicly tore Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Purple Poison to shreds in tonight's arena, that Poison Douluo, who defended his own as fiercely as his life, would surely come knocking.

Then the opportunities offered by the immortal herbs in Sunset Forest's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would all fall within his calculations.

As for Ye Lingling, who possessed the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, she would be perfect for testing the defense-piercing toxicity of the Dark-Gold Dragon Spider Spears.

"Brother Su Chen, look. It says here that their captain, Yu Tianheng, has a dragon martial soul too." Xiao Wu leaned over the dossier and pointed at the Blue Lightning emblem on the parchment, then gave a little snort. "What's he got to be so smug about? That old fellow the cripple Grandmaster summoned in the forest yesterday seemed to have a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon too. Didn't he still run off so scared he didn't even dare let out a fart?"

Ning Rongrong covered her lips with a soft laugh, her beautiful eyes shining as she gazed at Su Chen. "Sister Xiao Wu is right. How do those count as true dragons? But that Nine Heart Begonia really is a little troublesome. I've heard Father mention it before. There are only two inheritors of Nine Heart Begonia in each generation. As long as their soul power doesn't run out, they can heal injuries endlessly."

"No matter. The limits of healing depend on the severity of the injury."

Su Chen closed the dossier and put it straight into his Storage Pouch, then looked up at the three girls. "Since they think so highly of themselves, we'll show them what an absolute gulf looks like tonight. Get changed. We're heading to the Special-Class Preparation Area."

"Yes!" the three girls answered in unison.

Leaving the secret chamber, they passed through a long blue-stone corridor and reached the Special-Class Preparation Area.

Less than an hour remained before tonight's final team battle began. Inside the lounge, Su Chen started laying out their tactics.

"The core of their strategy is Yu Tianheng's charge and Dugu Yan's area-wide poison mist control." Su Chen looked at Zhu Zhuqing. "Once the battle begins, their Black Tortoises will definitely transform into shields to support the defense. Zhu Zhuqing, you have only one target. Bypass the front line and strike straight at the Nine Heart Begonia in the rear. Force Ye Lingling to throw her own formation into chaos."

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze sharpened slightly, and she nodded firmly. "Understood. The moment she raises her hand to heal, I'll make her bleed."

"Rongrong." Su Chen turned toward the girl in the pale pink dress.

Ning Rongrong immediately puffed out her chest and answered sweetly, "Here! My Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can hardly wait. Leave the strength and speed boosts to me. I promise I won't let you down!"

"Good. Xiao Wu will support Zhu Zhuqing and shut down their Wind Chime Bird and Ghost Leopard." Su Chen rose, the Pure Yang Dragon Aura within him slowly surging through the circuit of his meridians. "Leave that little Blue Lightning mud loach and Jade Phosphorous venomous snake at the front to me."

Clang-!!

The bronze bell echoed outside the corridor. Both teams were about to enter.

"Let's go." Su Chen led the way, pushing open the lounge door.

The preparation passage leading to the Soul Fighting Platform was spacious, its floor paved entirely with expensive white jade and bright moonlight stones set into the ceiling overhead.

Reliefs of fanatical soul fighters from past generations adorned both sides of the corridor, while the increasingly feverish shouts and roars outside reverberated through the air.

Just as Su Chen led Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing to the middle of the corridor, seven figures strode toward them from the far end of the opposite passage.

They were a team of young soul masters dressed in luxurious blue combat outfits.

The young man at the head was tall and handsome, with a trace of unconcealed arrogance on his face. Every strand of his short, dark blue hair stood upright.

His right arm was particularly striking. The entire sleeve hung empty, while a layer of fine, dark blue dragon scales covered his thick arm. Violent arcs of lightning crackled between his fingers, giving off a piercing electric whine. He was none other than the Imperial Fighting Team's captain, Yu Tianheng.

Beside Yu Tianheng walked a tall woman with a voluptuous figure and short, deep purple hair-Dugu Yan.

Behind them followed the two Black Tortoise brothers, each as burly as an iron tower, and Ye Lingling, dressed in black with her face concealed by a black veil.

The two sides met head-on in the middle of the white-jade corridor.

"Heh. These are the reinforcements Manager Ao found?"

Dugu Yan folded her arms and looked Su Chen and the three girls up and down with contempt.

"I thought Suotuo City really had some incredible hidden expert tucked away. After all that fuss, they've sent out four brats who haven't even grown their hair yet to take the fall?"

Yu Tianheng also stopped. The Blue Lightning on his right arm suddenly flared, and a trace of impatient disdain flashed in his eyes. "The Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Imperial Fighting Team never fights nobodies. Boy, before you get onstage and disgrace yourselves, call your team leader out to concede. Otherwise, lightning has no eyes. You might lose your little lives."

Wild laughter immediately erupted from several members of the Imperial Fighting Team. Even the Shi Brothers folded their arms and let out low, derisive chuckles.

Anger instantly blazed in Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes. Xiao Wu clenched her delicate fists, soul power beginning to stir around her.

Yet before any of the three girls could speak, Su Chen moved. He stepped forward, placing his tall, slender frame in front of them.

"A mixed-blood mud loach throwing its weight around with the remnants of a subdragon bloodline, and a rotten snake clinging to life through ancestral favor and poison arts-you think you're worthy of barking before me?"

The instant his icy voice fell, the Ancestral Dragon Hegemony Body Art thundered into motion within Su Chen!

His vast, overbearing Pure Yang Dragon Emperor bloodline stirred like an ancient god awakening from slumber. Dark-gold dragon might, so dense it had almost taken solid form, became a violent wave visible to the naked eye and exploded outward from Su Chen, sweeping through the entire corridor ahead!

Boom-!!

Dugu Yan took the brunt of it. A piercing dragon roar suddenly rang through her mind, threatening to shatter her very soul. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul within her let out a cry of utter terror. It felt as though a heavy hammer had smashed into her chest, sending her blood violently churning. Her sharp, spiteful smile froze on her face, and she staggered back several steps, pale as paper!

Yu Tianheng, who considered himself a rightful heir of the dragon race, fared even worse, as though struck by lightning!

Under the pressure of this supreme, utterly pure ancestral dragon status, the raging Blue Lightning that had danced over his right arm was forcibly driven back inside. In an instant, the invincible arrogance in his eyes was torn apart by boundless horror!
