An itch on the soles

Even he couldn't compare.

"That guy must be kicking himself now." Yu Tianlong crossed his arms and looked at Lu Cheng, who was still "stunned" in place, with a mocking expression, and snorted.

As a member of the "clan faction," he naturally looked down on the academic faction.

In his eyes, Lu Cheng, who had been praised to the skies, was nothing more than a myth created by the academics, and that was all. Whether he could even compare to Long Aotian was another matter entirely.

And now, he actually dares to try to challenge the entire Shrek Team by himself and recreate the classic moment from five years ago.

Isn't that just wishful thinking?

Child, times have changed. The days when it was just a bunch of weaklings from your academy fighting amongst themselves are over. Didn't you see that there are now three disciples of the Clear Sky Sect in Shrek?

"Something's not right." Xing Yan frowned slightly. "Bei Bei has already revealed her trump card, but those guys from the Body Sect haven't reacted much. Could it be that this was within their expectations, or... that guy can handle it?"

"Hmph, just putting on an act." Yu Tianlong snorted coldly, slightly annoyed.

Ultimately, it's because the Heavenly Dragon Sect and Shrek Academy have a good personal relationship. After all, his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline is somewhat related to Mu En, and even Bei Bei can be considered a distant cousin. If the Body Sect is determined to destroy Shrek, the Heavenly Dragon Sect will naturally not stand idly by.

"Mom, he seems to be in danger." Nan Qiuqiu said anxiously, clutching Nan Shuishui's sleeve with worry.

"Don't rush, from beginning to end, no one has truly understood him," Nan Shuishui said Youyou. She could sense the terrifying power behind this young man, like a dormant volcano. Once ignited, he would be beyond the capabilities of the Shrek Academy students.

Although Bei Bei's Martial Soul Possession had somewhat amazed her.

But it was merely stunning.

That boy instilled in her a deep-seated fear...

"Die!!!"

Bei Bei took the lead, his body crackling with light and lightning, half of him transformed into Dragon Transformation, his hands becoming sharp dragon claws. He leaped up and descended towards Lu Cheng. At the same time, his jet-black Soul Ring flashed, revealing his Martial Soul Avatar.

A torrent of deep blue hair, like ocean waves, instantly enveloped Lu Cheng's entire body, controlling his movements.

Following closely behind were Bei Bei and three youths wielding the Clear Sky Hammer. The leader showed no mercy, immediately unleashing his Martial Soul Avatar and swinging the Clear Sky Hammer straight at Lu Cheng's head.

From all four directions, Lu Cheng's escape route was completely blocked.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

It was as if time had frozen.

Lu Cheng remained calm as he surveyed Bei Bei, who was frozen in mid-air, about to be struck by the dragon's claws. He chuckled softly, and his originally dark eyes, which had somehow turned bloodshot and split in two, now gleamed red.

Like two eyes reflecting all things in the world, the two pupils transformed into two great suns.

It had acquired a touch of the eerie.

"Buzz..."

The entire world was silent.

Black, black, black, red, red, red, red, red.

Eight Soul Ring rose from beneath their feet, and a terrifying yet heavy pressure instantly enveloped everyone in the arena, locking them in place as if time and space were imprisoned.

"No, this isn't right..." Bei Bei's pupils trembled as she looked at Lu Cheng, who was so close yet she couldn't bring herself to strike. Her heart was filled with shock and anger. How could he not even get close to him?!

The other Clear Sky Sect disciples were also frozen in place, unable to strike even an inch with their hammers.

"It seems I haven't revealed the power of my Double Pupils before, always relying on the Sun-Shooting Bow and the Snow Empress; I've been neglecting it..."

"Today, I will use you as a sacrifice for my flag."

Lu Cheng's expression was calm, but his Double Pupils radiated a strong pressure. The entire world fell silent for a moment, and then an even more terrifying wave surged up. Bei Bei, who was leading the charge, was instantly annihilated and turned into ashes. The Martial Soul Fusion technique that enveloped his entire body, as well as his long hair that was like ocean waves, also vanished in an instant. The Lan Ruoruo and Lan Susu sisters coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground unconscious.

The three Clear Sky Sect disciples were directly knocked off the stage, their bodies crashing down, bleeding from their seven orifices. Although they did not die, they were definitely no longer able to fight and were seriously injured.

A ripple emanated from Lu Cheng's eyes and spread in all directions.

Then all was quiet again.

The stadium, which can hold nearly 100,000 people, was completely silent at this moment.

Even Xu Tianran's hands clenched tightly, his body leaned forward, almost standing up from his wheelchair, his eyes fixed on the figure in the arena.

In that instant, he seemed to see not a human being, but a deity.

A deity who looks down upon the human world with the utter contempt of an ant.

The Soul Douluo's cultivation level wasn't the most shocking thing at this moment; it was those eerie Double Pupils —wasn't he known for his Mental Attribute in the previous competition? Wasn't he Support System Martial Soul?

How did they achieve such formidable combat power?

Two Soul Saint, five Soul Emperor, including one with Martial Soul Fusion Technique, were all instantly killed!!

Moreover, judging from his demeanor, he moved with ease and grace, as if it hadn't taken much effort at all. Even if an ordinary Titled Douluo came, could he achieve this?

Just how many trump cards does this guy still have up his sleeve?!

Xu Tianran's face turned dark.

Lu Cheng remained calm, his Double Pupils slowly fading to a normal, jet-black color, and looked at the referee who was already stunned. "Announce the verdict."

"The Body Sect... wins!"

The referee looked at Lu Cheng's face, which resembled a monster, and spoke in a trembling voice.

Everyone thought Lu Cheng might win, but no one expected Lu Cheng to win the match so decisively.

"Huff~"

She let out a long, drawn-out breath, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Cheng in the arena with a complex expression. Sure Xu Jiujiu, he was still the same as she remembered, ruling over all the younger generation like a demon king, like a mountain blocking the way for all the young geniuses.

It cannot be crossed, it cannot be climbed.

We can only look up to them.

Looking into the distance at the numerous sect teams that were already dumbfounded, he revealed a mocking smile Xu Jiujiu. The despair we felt five years ago, it's time for you to feel it too.

You know what it means when he's around, there's no chance of winning the championship. They'll have to fight tooth and nail for the semi-final title instead.

"This, how is this possible..." Yu Tianlong trembled, almost falling to the ground. He gripped the metal railing tightly, looking at the figure, which seemed like a raging beast, inspiring fear and despair.

"Young... Young Master, Bei Bei is dead..." Xing Yan's throat bobbed as he whispered.

"I know!!!" Yu Tianlong squeezed out the words through gritted teeth. Whether it was fear or anger, there was no longer a trace of provocation in his eyes as he looked at Lu Cheng. He lowered his head and dared not look at him again.

At that moment, his Dao heart shattered.

Lu Cheng also crushed the Dao hearts of many top geniuses present with a single kick.
