No one expected this unassuming Fat Man to be the Sun Moon Royal Academy's second greatest Soul Engineer.
Lin Ximeng's single sentence ignited the fighting spirit in Yu Tianheng and the others.
Noticing the change in the Heaven Dou group, the Sun Moon people couldn't help but feel some sympathy for them.
"I want to challenge you." Yu Tianheng stepped forward first, looking at Zui Hongchen with an arrogant expression.
"You're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, aren't you? One of the Blue Lightning Twins. If your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan is all at this level, then you should give up the title of 'Number One Beast Spirit under Heaven'." Zui Hongchen scrutinized Yu Tianheng. He already had all their intelligence, and now, looking at the proud Yu Tianheng, he said with disdain.
"What did you say!!!" Yu Tianheng's anger flared upon hearing this. He glared at Zui Hongchen, his furious eyes as if they wanted to tear him to shreds.
The title of 'Number One Beast Spirit under Heaven' had always been the pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan. Anyone who dared to covet this title would be angrily torn apart by them.
"I, Zui Hongchen, am almost fifteen this year, and I'm a Rank 43 Soul Ancestor and a Rank 5 Soul Engineer." Zui Hongchen looked at Yu Tianheng calmly, slowly uttering words that shook everyone's hearts.
After consuming the Marvelous Chrysanthemum, their talents were further developed. If he hadn't focused on studying spirit tools, his spirit power level could have been even higher.
"Rank 43! Fifteen years old!"
Everyone looked at Zui Hongchen in shock. He was younger than them, yet his spirit power was higher. Was this the genius of the Sun Moon Empire?
"Spirit Masters aren't determined by spirit power alone; strength is the foundation. Do you dare to have a one-on-one duel with me?" Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, clenching his fists as he stared at Zui Hongchen.
"I wouldn't bully a mere Soul Venerable." Zui Hongchen chuckled mischievously, emphasizing the words "Soul Venerable."
"You..."
"Then I should be qualified to challenge you, right?" Before Yu Tianheng could react, Feng Xiaotian stepped forward, looking at Zui Hongchen with a serious expression, his Soul Ancestor-level spirit power pressing down on Zui Hongchen.
"You're the possessor of innate full spirit power this time!" Zui Hongchen looked at Feng Xiaotian with interest, seemingly wanting to see what made him different, to be able to awaken such rare innate full spirit power.
"Precisely." Feng Xiaotian's face darkened. In the past, when others called him having innate full spirit power, he felt a subtle pride. But after being openly scorned by the teachers of the Sun Moon Empire, being called having innate full spirit power now only filled him with intense shame and indignation.
"I've only met one other person with innate full spirit power in my life. Let me test the caliber of your innate full spirit power."
Shui Bing'er's heart stirred. The other person with innate full spirit power Zui Hongchen mentioned must be Xu Tianyang.
Seeing Zui Hongchen's condescending attitude, Feng Xiaotian snorted coldly and quickly followed Zui Hongchen's steps.
"Haha, student Zui Hongchen is one of our academy's most outstanding Soul Engineers. He will surely let you all experience the charm of spirit tools." Lin Ximeng silently mourned for Feng Xiaotian for a second, then said with a smile to the Heaven Dou group.
Leading everyone to a viewing platform with an excellent vantage point, Zui Hongchen and Feng Xiaotian had already walked to the center of the plaza.
Their appearance immediately attracted countless people's attention. Zui Hongchen was already a celebrity, and a duel with him naturally drew the eyes of many spectators.
After the referee's command, Feng Xiaotian was the first to change.
A faint layer of green light surged from his body. As the green light pulsed, his body visibly transformed. Accompanied by the crackling of bones, his muscles and bones expanded simultaneously, and his physique clearly grew larger.
His long hair on his head also turned green, and most remarkably, a wolf's head emerged from his left shoulder.
Two yellow and two purple, four standard spirit rings encircled his body.
The Swift Wind Twin-Headed Wolf, a mutated form of the Swift Wind Demonic Wolf. It was because of this mutated Spirit that Feng Xiaotian possessed the innate full spirit power that ordinary people lacked.
"The Spirit is decent." Zui Hongchen commented unhurriedly, then also released his Spirit.
With a flash of golden light, behind him, another leg emerged from his posterior. This leg was completely golden, and at the same time, a dazzling golden layer covered his entire body.
The three-legged Zui Hongchen's body crouched slightly, and four spirit rings, one yellow and three purple, shone brightly.
"A thousand-year second spirit ring! He can do it too, just like the Frost Goddess back then." The Heaven Dou group looked in shock at Zui Hongchen's thousand-year spirit ring in the second position, their hearts sinking.
A thousand-year second ring and a ten-thousand-year fourth ring were no longer secrets with Xu Nianshuang's participation, but achieving this feat was still incredibly difficult.
"Match start!" The referee announced, and the two in the arena moved almost simultaneously.
Feng Xiaotian's body accelerated almost instantly, charging straight towards Zui Hongchen. Green light trailed behind him, forming a long afterimage, his speed incredibly fast.
Zui Hongchen's heart tightened. Even though he hadn't thought highly of Feng Xiaotian beforehand, he remained vigilant once the battle began. Watching the speed Feng Xiaotian displayed, he sighed, realizing that every possessor of innate full spirit power indeed had their unique qualities.
For example, Feng Xiaotian's speed, which was no weaker than a agility-type Battle Spirit Master of the same rank.
Amidst his myriad thoughts, Feng Xiaotian's first spirit ring had already lit up. Sharp wolf claws extended from his palms, and his gaze, sharp and merciless, locked onto Zui Hongchen. Before he arrived, the wolf claws had already swept out, sending ten crescent-shaped wind blades with an ear-piercing whoosh.
They sealed off all possible escape routes for Zui Hongchen.
Seeing this, Zui Hongchen let out a sinister laugh. From his slightly hunched back, golden protrusions arched out from beneath his clothes, emitting a soft golden glow.
His first and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously, then he swung both hands, unleashing at least a hundred metal spheres.
These metal spheres instantly floated in mid-air, completely enveloping him.
A bizarre scene unfolded in the next instant: with those metal spheres as cores, thick metal cannon barrels actually grew out.
In just a breath's time, he had transformed into something like a giant hedgehog.
Below the stage, the Heaven Dou group, who had witnessed this scene, were instantly dumbfounded.
"This is... what kind of ability is this?" Yu Tianheng found it difficult to hide his shock.
"Big Brother Hongchen's Spirit is the Three-Legged Golden Toad. He can control metal and even absorb the energy of some rare metals to aid his cultivation. It's a legendary divine beast Spirit, no worse than any Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon." Zui Hongchen's younger brothers said proudly from the side.
"Divine Beast Spirit!"
Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and the others clenched their fists, a wave of pressure instantly washing over them.
