"But it doesn't matter." Yu Tianheng thought to himself, "Perfect. Now that I've entered the Bone Refining Realm and cultivated the Golden Body Art, since Lei Long has come knocking, I'll use him as a guinea pig and test my strength."
Yu Tianheng got up and pushed open the door.
Upon seeing Yu Tianheng emerge, Mu Qing was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to bow, saying, "Master, you've come out of seclusion!"
Yu Tianheng nodded. "Alright, we can talk about the rest later. Take me to Lei Long first. That bastard actually came here asking for a beating, so let's grant his wish."
Mu Qing nodded emphatically, then led Yu Tianheng away.
Upon arriving at the destination, Yu Tianheng looked at Lei Long and said calmly, " Lei Long, are you itching for a beating again? Is that why you're rushing here to ask for a beating?"
"Pah!" Lei Long spat, pointing ahead angrily, " Yu Tianheng, listen up! Last time, I was careless and underestimated you, which is why I lost to you. This time, I went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt down a Thousand-Year Soul Beast and successfully obtained my fourth Soul Ring. So this time, you're the one who's going to be in trouble!"
"So what?" Yu Tianheng said with a disdainful look.
"How is it?" Lei Long laughed heartily, " Yu Tianheng, you've gone mad from being secluded. You don't even understand the current situation."
"But I might as well tell you. Listen carefully: there's a huge difference between Four-Ring Soul Master and Three-Ring Soul Master, it can even be worlds apart. It's not just a simple difference of one Soul Skill, it's an all-around crushing of strength."
"Now I only need to use three-tenths of my strength to easily defeat my former self. Even if you have the ability to fight beyond your level, as long as your Soul Power Level is below forty, you can't be my match. Now do you understand how big the gap is between you and me?"
Before Yu Tianheng could respond, Lei Long spoke again, " Yu Tianheng, I won't make things difficult for you. Besides, I don't like fighting and killing. As long as you kneel down and kowtow for what happened before, this matter will end here."
"Oh, right, I remember you won a lot of money gambling before, and you handed it all over. I'll keep it for you."
Yu Tianheng laughed angrily, " Lei Long, you really dare to dream! That's millions of Gold Soul Coin! Are you sure you can handle that?"
"Whether you can eat or not is not your concern," Lei Long said. "Now, have you decided whether you're going to fight me or back down?"
Yu Tianheng stepped forward and looked at Lei Long: "Eat shit!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Long instantly flew into a rage, his face turning bright red. " Yu Tianheng, since you won't listen to reason, then don't blame me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Long's aura suddenly surged, a wild and fierce energy overflowing from him. In an instant, he roared, " Martial Soul Possession!"
A blinding crimson light flashed and leaped wildly across his body, accompanied by the cracking of bones. His body swelled rapidly, his muscles bulged high, and he seemed to transform into a majestic mountain in an instant.
Four Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet, two yellow and two purple—the best Soul Ring Configuration, making him an undisputed Four-Ring Soul Master.
At the same time, a majestic Saber-Toothed Tiger phantom slowly emerged behind Lei Long. The Saber-Toothed Tiger was covered with scales that shimmered with lightning, and two long saber teeth protruded from the corners of its mouth. The cold light was chilling, and the blood-red vertical pupils exuded endless brutality and bloodlust, as if it were a king of beasts from ancient times.
The auras of Lei Long and the Saber-Toothed Tiger intertwined, and every movement they made was filled with destructive power.
A violent aura swept through the entire Blue Lightning Martial Arts Hall. Upon seeing this, Mu Qing, Mu Zi, and the others all hid behind Yu Tianheng, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Although they have cultivated Martial Dao and are no longer ordinary people, they still subconsciously believe that the Soul Master profession is superior and that no one except Soul Master of the same level can be defeated.
In the past, even the lowest-ranking One-Ring Soul Master would have been extremely respectful to them, let alone Four-Ring Soul Master like Lei Long.
It's understandable that they're afraid!
Lei Long activated his Martial Soul Possession, instantly growing larger to nearly three meters tall. He looked down at Yu Tianheng and coldly said, "I'll ask you one more time: kneel or not?"
"Bring it on!" Yu Tianheng said.
"Court death!"
Lei Long's fourth Soul Ring lit up, and then, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he roared without hesitation, " Fourth Soul Skill — Tiger Fang Space-Rending Slash!"
In an instant, the Saber-Toothed Tiger Martial Soul opened its blood-red maw, and a huge tiger-shaped light shadow wrapped in endless lightning roared out. The air was instantly torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Wherever the lightning passed, space seemed to be distorted and vibrating.
Lei Long immediately unleashed his most powerful Fourth Soul Skill, clearly not intending to hold back.
The power of the Tiger Fang Space-Rending Slash caused the surrounding air to tremble. The enormous tiger-shaped light and shadow, carrying endless energy, bared its fangs and claws, and rushed straight towards Yu Tianheng with destructive power.
Lei Long had expected Yu Tianheng to immediately use his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to possess him and then unleash his strongest Soul Skill to defend himself. However, to his surprise, Yu Tianheng not only did not use his Martial Soul, but his expression was extremely calm, and there was even a faint hint of disdain on his lips.
Just as the fourth Soul Ring was about to pounce on him, Yu Tianheng slowly raised his right fist. The seemingly casual movement seemed to carry immense power.
" Mu Qing, Mu Zi, aren't you wondering just how powerful the Martial Dao I taught you really are? Today, I'll show you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tianheng raised his hand and threw a punch.
There was no dazzling light on the fist, nor any surging Soul Power fluctuations overflowing; it was as simple and unadorned as a punch thrown by an ordinary person.
However, the moment this seemingly ordinary fist collided with the Tiger Fang Space-Rending Slash, something strange happened.
The tiger-shaped light and shadow, which contained terrifying power, was like a fragile bubble, shattering inch by inch under Yu Tianheng's fist. It dissipated with a "crackling" sound, and the roaring sound stopped abruptly, without even a trace of aftershock.
Upon seeing this, Lei Long's eyes widened in disbelief, and he instinctively took several steps back. His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was too shocked to utter a sound.
What had just happened was completely beyond his comprehension; his proud Fourth Soul Skill had been so easily shattered by Yu Tianheng's single punch.
How is that possible!
It must be a hallucination!
Yes, this must be an illusion. How could anyone shatter Four-Ring Soul Master's strongest Soul Skill with a simple punch? Even Six-Ring Soul Emperor couldn't do that!
After Yu Tianheng shattered Lei Long's Soul Skill with a single punch, his momentum intensified, and an invisible aura seemed to surge around him. His eyes were like torches, fixed on Lei Long, and without hesitation, he raised his arm again, pulling his right fist back slightly to gather power, and a faint vortex of qi seemed to be quietly gathering in the center of his fist.
At that moment, Yu Tianheng moved. His figure was as fast as lightning, causing the surrounding air to whistle sharply.
This punch, carrying unparalleled power and moving at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, hurtled straight towards Lei Long's chest. The force of the punch was so fierce that it drew a faint trail of air currents in the air.
