Return to Heaven Dou City, Yu Yuanzhen Attacks-Want Me to Retreat? Ask Whether My Battle Armor Agrees!

Upon learning that his most cherished eldest grandson, the prodigy Yu Tianheng, had been slapped in public at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, then smashed into the ground as a "speed bump" and left gravely injured and unconscious, Yu Yuanzhen flew into an absolute rage!

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan ranked among the Upper Three Sects. When had it ever suffered such a monstrous humiliation?!

If he did not tear that insolent brat who knew neither the height of heaven nor the depth of earth to pieces and grind his bones to ash today for trampling on his clan's dignity, what authority would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have left in the soul master world?

Wouldn't anyone be able to climb onto their necks and shit on them?

"Sect Master Yu, please calm your anger! We did not know you were gracing us with your presence. Forgive us for failing to welcome you!"

Accompanied by several urgent whistles through the air, the three members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's education committee-

Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin-flew into the sky together, their expressions aghast.

Looking at Yu Yuanzhen, who seemed like a thunder god descended to earth, his killing intent surging toward the heavens, the three Soul Douluo committee members felt their hearts hammer. They tremblingly cupped their fists in greeting, their backs already drenched in cold sweat.

Yet Yu Yuanzhen did not spare the three committee members so much as a glance. His draconic eyes, brimming with savage lightning, coldly swept the crowd below.

His mighty, commanding roar exploded over the academy like thunder:

"Spare me these empty courtesies!

Hand over the arrogant little bastard who gravely injured Tian Heng!

If I don't see him within half an incense stick's time, don't blame me for razing your Heaven Dou Royal Academy... to the ground today!!"

At Yu Yuanzhen's declaration, the three chief committee members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy exchanged helpless looks, cold sweat streaming down their temples.

They desperately wanted to hand the culprit over and quell this Thunder Douluo's towering fury.

But the problem was... they knew neither the white-haired youth's name nor his sect or origins. Where were they supposed to find him in the vast expanse of Heaven Dou City?

Chief Committee Member Meng Shenji steeled himself and stepped forward. Forcing himself to withstand the lightning pressure pouring down from the sky, he bowed and said bitterly:

"Sect Master Yu, please calm your anger! We are certainly not deliberately making excuses or shielding him.

That madman was simply too unpredictable and mysterious. After gravely injuring Tian Heng, he walked away without a care.

According to the students present, that brat not only injured Tian Heng, but subsequently abducted the granddaughter of His Excellency Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, in full view of everyone!

His Eminence Dugu must have emerged from seclusion in a fury by now. He is likely searching the entire world for that villain as well..."

These words sent an uproar through the crowd below. Countless watching students and instructors were utterly stunned.

"As if breaking Yu Tianheng's bones and tendons and trampling on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's dignity wasn't enough, he actually turned around and abducted the Poison Douluo's precious granddaughter?!"

"He offended two Titled Douluos in one go?!"

"Where did this madman come from? His gall is practically bursting at the seams!"

Meanwhile.

On the outskirts of Heaven Dou City, An Jing's party of four had just stepped onto the main road outside the city after several hours of swift travel.

The sky had been clear and bright, yet above the mountains where Heaven Dou Royal Academy stood, a layer of leaden clouds as dark as ink had abruptly swallowed the heavens, bearing down oppressively.

Dugu Yan instinctively stopped and looked up in bewilderment. "Huh? Why did the weather suddenly change? Is a storm coming?"

"No. This isn't a natural disaster. Someone caused it."

A trace of gravity crossed Zhu Zhuqing's lovely, cool face. Her shadowy feline eyes fixed on the sky above the academy as she said softly:

"That's an energy tide stirred up by immense soul power. A top-tier expert has arrived."

Dugu Bo and An Jing looked up at the lightning-riven sky at the same time.

With their spiritual attainments and eyesight, they had already pierced the overlapping thunderclouds and faintly made out the burly figure standing proudly amid them.

"Is that... the Blue Lightning Clan's old dragon?"

Dugu Bo's emerald serpentine eyes narrowed slightly, and he scoffed:

"That old bastard Yu Yuanzhen usually shuts himself away. What madness seized him today, making him come swaggering over Heaven Dou City with such fanfare?"

"He's probably here for An Jing..."

Dugu Yan suddenly realized what was happening, her heart jolting. She hurried to Dugu Bo's ear and recounted every detail of how An Jing had smashed Yu Tianheng into the ground as a "human speed bump" in front of everyone at the academy gates.

After listening, Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched wildly. He turned and looked the composed An Jing up and down, his expression a picture:

"You brat... you really didn't leave yourself any way out.

Yu Tianheng is a core bloodline descendant of this generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Yu Yuanzhen has even poured everything into grooming him as his future successor. You beat him half to death. It would be stranger if that old bag of bones didn't go mad."

At this point, Dugu Bo dropped his teasing expression and said solemnly:

"Brat, that old dragon Yu Yuanzhen is no ordinary soul master. His cultivation has reached level 95, and his martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the greatest beast martial soul under heaven. His attacks are exceptionally fierce and overbearing.

Even at my peak, I would gain absolutely nothing by fighting him head-on.

But don't panic. Since I'm here, there's no way I'll stand by with my hands tucked into my sleeves.

If that old dragon truly dares to throw his seniority around and bully the young, I'll protect you even if it costs this old life!"

"The sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... a veteran Titled Douluo?"

An Jing gazed thoughtfully at the raging sky, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

"Since he's here for us, should we avoid his edge for now and leave Heaven Dou City before he senses what's happening here?"

A hint of worry appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's cool eyes.

Born into the nobility of the Star Luo Empire, she knew just how terrifying the foundations of the Upper Three Sects were. After offending such a colossal power, one could scarcely take a single step anywhere on the continent.

"Leave? Why should I go?"

An Jing chuckled, his gaze as unruffled as a cold, deep pool:

"Since this old dragon has traveled all this way to deliver himself to my door, wouldn't I be letting his journey go to waste if I didn't teach him a lesson?"

"T-teach him a lesson?!"

Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing both froze, their beautiful eyes filled with incredulous bewilderment.

That was Yu Yuanzhen, a level-95 Super Douluo renowned across the entire continent!

An Jing's casual tone made it sound as though his opponent were merely a fledgling Soul Saint, while An Jing himself was the titled battle armor towering above all living beings!

"Brat, are you truly not joking?"

Dugu Bo's brows drew tightly together as he said gravely:

"I know your body has transformed, your soul power has reached that of a level-77 Soul Saint, and your spiritual power is unfathomable. But the gap between a Titled Douluo and a Soul Saint is a dimensional chasm as vast as a heavenly abyss, let alone the qualitative transformation at level 95!

If this truly becomes a fight to the death, I'm afraid I'll struggle to protect you even before my poison mist barrier is broken."

"Old Poison, I appreciate your concern."

An Jing could not help laughing. He slowly stepped forward, and the air around him abruptly became violent gusts visible to the naked eye, his white hair dancing wildly in the wind:

"But in this world where the strong devour the weak, who ventures out without a trump card to back up a little arrogance?"

"Yu Yuanzhen calls himself the Thunder Douluo and believes his title unrivaled. But in my eyes, he might not be able to beat me."

The instant his words fell, the pressure between heaven and earth abruptly stalled!

Humm-!!

A clear dragon's cry suddenly rang out in the void, like the resonance of machinery from a higher dimension.

In the next moment, blazing silver formation patterns erupted simultaneously from An Jing's brow, chest, arms, and legs!

Clack! Clack! Clack!

Amid a rainstorm of metallic clicks and interweaving formation patterns,

A suit of heavy battle armor, flowing with a cold silver-white sheen and shaped with the ultimate sense of power and aerodynamic elegance, tore out of the void. At astonishing speed, it locked seamlessly into place over the vital points of his body!

Every dragon-scale-shaped plate of nano-alloy armor reflected ripples of the laws of heaven and earth, while profound runes shimmered with faint platinum halos.

At the same time, two energy wings formed entirely from the essence of the sun and moon and the radiance of countless stars spread thunderously behind him. The wings of the void stretched several dozen feet long, and the slightest tremor sent black fissures cracking through the surrounding space, inch by inch!

At that moment, immense pressure as mighty as a tsunami surged unrestrained from An Jing's body into the heavens, forcibly driving back the draconic might bearing down from the sky!

Looking at this utterly unfamiliar creation, Dugu Bo could not help exclaiming in astonishment:

"Is that... an external soul bone?! No, an entire suit of soul bone armament?! How could something that attaches to the body take such a form in this world?!"

"Soul bones?"

An Jing raised his hand and closed it around empty air. The void trembled and wailed.

His commanding voice, amplified by the battle armor and layered with echoes, rumbled from behind his faceplate:

"How could something as crude and shoddy as soul bones deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as this?"

"This is my sole foundation for transcending the ages and roaming freely between heaven and earth."

"Two-Word Battle Armor-[Sky]!"
