Snatching Him by Force
Yu Chengxin's fist came straight at him with a whistling rush of wind, moving at no slow speed.
But in Wang Feng's eyes, it wasn't fast. A smile played on his lips as he sidestepped rather than meet it head-on. Wang Chengxin's arms jolted, however, and struck Wang Feng squarely in the chest.
Wang Feng was forced back several steps, much to his surprise. It seemed he had underestimated his opponent, but that was all the strength amounted to. It still couldn't hurt him.
Wang Chengxin's next attack followed close behind, and Wang Feng raised both hands to meet it head-on.
Bang!
Their fists collided, and both stepped back. Wang Feng retreated only seven steps, however, while Wang Chengxin took eight.
The difference of a single step made Wang Chengxin's expression change drastically.
He was a level-thirty Soul Elder! Though he had only just obtained his third Soul Ring, his physical toughness and strength were surely beyond anything a Level 14 Soul Master could compare with.
Yet now, a Level 14 Soul Master had driven him back.
Of course, he wouldn't have thought that way if he had seen Wang Feng fight the Ni Scale Demon Lion. After all, he had only been able to deliver the finishing blow to that creature and then absorb its Soul Ring, while Wang Feng had fought it for over a hundred exchanges.
"Again!"
Frowning, Wang Chengxin roared and attacked once more.
Wang Feng faced him calmly. After several exchanges, neither had been injured, but Wang Chengxin was clearly at a disadvantage. He was inferior to Wang Feng in both strength and physical toughness.
"That's impossible!"
Wang Chengxin was somewhat furious. How could he, a level-thirty Soul Elder, be inferior to a Level 14 Soul Master? He simply couldn't accept it.
But the more he thought that way, the more his mind fell into disarray, and the less of a match he became for Wang Feng.
Originally, the gap between him and Wang Feng hadn't been large. They could be said to be evenly matched, with neither able to gain an advantage. But now that his state of mind was in turmoil, he couldn't compare with Wang Feng.
Wang Feng might have had only the body of a seven-year-old, but his mind was that of a man in his thirties. In that respect alone, Wang Chengxin fell far short.
"Your mind is in turmoil. You're no longer a match for me."
Wang Feng sneered, dodged Wang Chengxin's attack, then spun around and struck his back with a palm. Wang Chengxin staggered and nearly fell flat on the ground.
"That's impossible! You're no match for me! I'll kill you!"
Wang Chengxin suddenly roared and released his Soul Power. A Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul less than five meters long appeared behind him, and he raised a hand and struck at Wang Feng.
"Hmph! So what if you use your Martial Soul!"
Wang Feng shouted coldly and met him head-on.
Bang!
Energy surged violently. Despite using his Martial Soul and launching the attack himself, Wang Chengxin was still driven back by Wang Feng. Wang Feng, however, fared even worse: he was sent flying more than ten meters, and a trace of blood ran from the corner of his mouth.
"Yu Yuanzhen!" Yue Guan shouted coldly. A purple Soul Ring appeared around him, and he was furious.
"Get back here!" Yu Yuanzhen shouted coldly, reaching out to pull Yu Chengxin directly to his side and forcibly make him withdraw his Martial Soul. Then he cast Yue Guan a leisurely glance and said with a smile, "Accidents are bound to happen when children fight. Why get angry?"
"An accident! Hmph, Yu Yuanzhen, the Spirit Hall won't let this matter rest."
"Hahahaha!" Yu Yuanzhen burst out laughing. "It doesn't matter. The Spirit Hall is used to throwing its weight around. Whatever you want to do, my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will take it on."
With that, Yu Yuanzhen looked at Wang Feng. "You're very good. You actually managed to drive Chengxin back even after he used his Martial Soul. Good! I'm taking you as my disciple, no matter what."
"I wouldn't want ten teachers like you," Wang Feng said, looking calmly at Yu Yuanzhen, without the slightest fear because he was a Titled Douluo.
"Hahaha, good! I like that temperament of yours. I love conquering geniuses like you!"
"Is that so? What a pity. This young master doesn't like you, but I'm quite interested in the beauties of your clan." Wang Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"In that case, I have even more reason to take you back to my clan. When the time comes, you can choose however you like." Yu Yuanzhen smiled happily, showing no anger at Wang Feng's words. His figure flickered, and he appeared directly in front of Wang Feng, grabbed him, and returned to his original position.
Wang Feng tried to resist, but suddenly discovered that he couldn't move. He had been sealed.
"Yu Yuanzhen, how dare you!"
"Yu Yuanzhen, do you want the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to be wiped out?!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei shouted coldly, releasing their Soul Rings at the same time.
"Just the two of you think you can stop me?" Yu Yuanzhen sneered and released his own Soul Rings.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black
Judging by their Soul Ring Configurations, Yu Yuanzhen's were far inferior to Yue Guan's. Yet in sheer imposing force, Yu Yuanzhen alone suppressed both Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Third Soul Skill, Aura Barrier!"
Yue Guan shouted and immediately attacked. A chrysanthemum instantly bloomed beside Yu Yuanzhen, its petals swirling through the air to form a barrier that briefly restrained him.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Ghost Shadow!"
Gui Mei seized that brief opportunity and struck at once. He raised his hand, forming a small black vortex in his palm, and a mass of black ghost shadows poured out of it, rushing straight at Yu Yuanzhen.
"Hmph! Break!"
Yu Yuanzhen shouted coldly. The power of lightning surged around him, shattering Yue Guan's Aura Barrier. He raised a hand and unleashed his first Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw, smashing Gui Mei's attack apart.
"I told you, the two of you are no match for me."
Yu Yuanzhen smiled at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, composed and unhurried.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei frowned deeply. With the suppression of their Martial Souls, even one more Titled Douluo couldn't keep Yu Yuanzhen here.
But they couldn't stand by and watch Yu Yuanzhen take Wang Feng away. Otherwise, the Pope would surely be furious, and then they...
"Yu Yuanzhen, think carefully. You're taking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into outright opposition with our Spirit Hall," Yue Guan shouted coldly, hoping Yu Yuanzhen would fear the Spirit Hall and not dare take Wang Feng away.
"Hehe! I just took a liking to this boy and wanted to make him my disciple. How does that amount to opposing your Spirit Hall?"
"Hmph! He has long been His Holiness the Pope's disciple and a member of our Spirit Hall. Do you know the consequences of snatching someone from the Spirit Hall?"
"So what if I snatch him? I'd like to see what you can do to me!"
"Damn it, this fellow was prepared to snatch him by force all along!" Yue Guan said in a low voice, looking at Gui Mei.
Gui Mei nodded. The two had been together for more than sixty years and were closer than brothers, so he naturally understood what Yue Guan meant.
The two looked at Yu Yuanzhen, and their Soul Rings rose into the air together.
"This is bad, a fusion skill! Get away!"
Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed, and he suddenly shouted. He knew Yue Guan and Gui Mei were about to use their fusion skill, Two-Level Static Domain. Once formed, it would bring everything within the domain to an absolute standstill, whether Soul Master or Soul Beast.
The six members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan hurriedly swept Yu Chengxin up and retreated. Yu Yuanzhen grabbed Wang Feng and was about to leave, but instantly tossed him away instead. "Take him back!"
Although Two-Level Static Domain took a certain amount of time to form, he couldn't be sure whether he could really escape in that time, and the others would inevitably be left behind.
So he decided in that instant to stop Yue Guan and Gui Mei instead.
"Fusion, Two-Level Static Domain!" Yue Guan and Gui Mei shouted, and their Soul Rings immediately began to merge.
