Heavenly Dou Royal Academy
This luxurious academy, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, occupying an entire mountain, is more like a huge aristocratic estate than a school.
The avenue paved with white marble, the neatly trimmed green plants, and the exquisite sculptures everywhere all showcase the grandeur and luxury of the imperial court.
After taking Na'er out for a meal, Xuan Hao led her away from Tian Dou City and headed towards the Tian Dou Royal Academy outside the city.
Now that Dugu Bo has made his move, even though he hasn't actually taken action, it has given him a reason to act.
If Dugu Bo wanted to bully him, then of course he had to bully Dugu Yan in return!
If Dugu Yan is bullied, that old bastard Dugu Bo will definitely come knocking again, but after what happened today, he certainly won't dare to act rashly.
Even if he does, Ghost will be there to protect him.
If Dugu Bo dares to secretly come to his door, he dares to kidnap Dugu Yan!
"stop!"
Several boys dressed in pale yellow school uniforms, who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, blocked Xuan Hao and Na'er's path.
They sized up the two seemingly aristocratic "children," one tall and one short.
Although intimidated by their aura, their innate sense of superiority as students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy still made them raise their chins.
"This is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Who are you kids?
This is not a place for you to play house. Get out of here right now!"
Xuan Hao stopped in his tracks, not angry, but instead gave a polite smile:
"Hello, seniors. I heard that a new genius has joined our college named Yu Tianheng. I'd like to see him."
"Yu Tianheng?"
The leading youth paused for a moment, then a hint of awe flashed in his eyes.
"You mean that one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Although Yu Tianheng had only been enrolled for a few days, he was truly a formidable force.
He is not only a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects, but is also hailed as the most promising genius of this generation to inherit the position of sect leader.
On his very first day, he beat up several senior students who wanted to intimidate him, leaving them bruised and battered.
Even the three academic committee members of the college looked up to him.
"Why are you looking for him?" the boy asked warily.
"Oh, I also play with dragons."
Xuan Hao blinked, his sky-blue eyes were crystal clear.
"I heard that his martial soul is the number one beast martial soul in the world.
I admire him very much and would like to have a spar with him…"
"puff--"
Several teenagers couldn't help but burst out laughing.
You?
A little kid who looks like he hasn't even been weaned yet wants to spar with Yu Tianheng?
And he's playing with dragons?
He's probably playing with loaches.
"Alright, alright, stop causing trouble here.
Yu Tianheng should be at the Tianwei-level training ground right now."
The boy waved his hand impatiently.
"But he doesn't have time to deal with a little brat like you."
Thanks.
Xuan Hao ignored their mockery, grabbed Na'er, and swaggered in the direction the boy pointed.
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan should be together.
It would be too deliberate for him to go directly to Dugu Yan, but it would be less deliberate to go directly to Yu Tianheng.
After all, he also possesses a dragon-type martial soul.
Isn't it normal for him to be interested in this so-called number one beast martial soul in the world?
Isn't it perfectly normal to want to have a friendly competition?
Moreover, he has to be arrogant!
The more arrogant he is, the less people know about him!
And the less they dare to provoke him!
If he acts arrogantly for a moment and then suddenly backs down, lacking the follow-up strength, then he's finished.
After defeating Avalanche yesterday, he made Avalanche kneel down and apologize this morning, and then came to Tiandou Royal Academy this afternoon to cause trouble.
Without a powerful background and absolute confidence, who would dare to do this?
...
Tianwei-level training ground.
This place is specifically designed for freshmen whose soul power is below level 25.
Although the level is not high, the facilities are top-notch.
At this moment, the arena was surrounded by students watching the excitement.
"boom--!"
With a loud bang, a beam of blue-purple lightning shot into the sky, blasting the opponent off the stage.
"I appreciate your concession."
On the stage, a tall and slender young man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit withdrew his right hand.
He had short black hair, sharp eyes, and lingering lightning crackled around him, making him look incredibly imposing.
It was Yu Tianheng.
"Incredible! No wonder it's the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul!"
"Even a level 25 Beast Soul Master was instantly killed in one move.
The difference in strength is just too great!"
The students below the stage were buzzing with discussion, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.
They were both Great Soul Masters, yet they were like paper in front of Yu Tianheng, unable to withstand even a single move.
Is this the true value of the number one beast spirit in the world?
"boring."
Yu Tianheng shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Aside from its better environment, the quality of the students at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was truly worrying.
Just as he was about to jump off the fighting platform, a crisp voice suddenly rang out, particularly jarring in the quiet training ground.
"Hey, you guy playing with electricity."
Yu Tianheng paused, turned around, and looked in the direction of the sound.
At the entrance to the training ground, a silver-haired boy who looked no more than eight or nine years old stood with his hands in his pockets, looking in their direction.
Beside him was a little girl with similar silver hair and purple eyes, as cute as a porcelain doll.
"Are you calling me?"
Yu Tianheng frowned slightly.
"Otherwise what?
Besides you, who else here is acting like a giant light bulb, constantly emitting electricity?"
Xuan Hao led Na'er over, completely ignoring the students' stares as if they were looking at idiots. Standing below the Soul Arena, he looked up at Yu Tianheng:
"I heard you're from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?
Known as the number one beast spirit in the world?"
"Perfect timing, I also have a Dragon Martial Soul."
"I want to see if your thunder dragon is more powerful, or if my dragon... is tougher."
"You want to fight me?"
Yu Tianheng looked Xuan Hao up and down as if he had heard a joke, then shook his head.
"I don't bully children.
Come back when you're all grown up."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"It's alright, you don't need to feel guilty," Xuan Hao said.
"If you're worried that people will say you're bullying the weak, I can give you a handicap."
"What did you say?"
Yu Tianheng's smile vanished, and his eyes turned dangerous.
"What? One pair of hands isn't enough?"
Xuan Hao sighed, giving him a "you're so weak" look. "Then add a pair of legs, is that alright?"
"Arrogant!!"
Yu Tianheng was furious.
The members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan all have pride flowing in their veins.
He can accept challenges, even failure, but he absolutely cannot accept such blatant humiliation! Especially not from a child several years younger than himself!
"Since you want to be beaten, I'll grant your wish!"
Yu Tianheng pointed at the Soul Battle Arena, "Come up here!
Today I'll teach you what respect is on behalf of your master!"
"Why didn't you just make that decision earlier?"
Xuan Hao released Na'er's hand and whispered, "Na'er, wait here obediently, brother will be right back."
"Okay, good luck, brother."
Na'er nodded obediently, found a bench a little further away to sit down, took out a bag of roasted chestnuts that she hadn't finished eating from her pocket, and started peeling them.
Xuan Hao slowly walked onto the Soul Battle Platform and stood opposite Yu Tianheng.
The two stood facing each other.
Yu Tianheng took a deep breath.
Although he was angry, his good upbringing still allowed him to maintain basic Soul Master etiquette.
"Yu Tianheng, a level 24 offensive-type Soul Master, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
"Buzz—"
Two bright yellow century-old soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet, and a powerful aura of thunder erupted instantly.
Blue-purple arcs of electricity crackled and danced around him.
Xuan Hao looked at his posture and just smiled faintly.
"Xuan Hao."
"Martial Soul, Golden Dragon".
After saying that, he said nothing more.
He didn't report his level, didn't release his spirit rings, and didn't even seem to want to take his hands out of his pockets.
Yu Tianheng's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
On the Soul Arena, this behavior can only be interpreted in one way—it means they look down on you!
"Fine! Since you're so confident, don't blame me for being impolite!!"
Yu Tianheng laughed in extreme anger, his eyes flashing with lightning.
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!!"
He pushed off with his feet, his entire body like a blue lightning bolt, instantly rushing towards Xuan Hao. His right claw, covered in dragon scales and carrying a violent thunderous power, fiercely grabbed at Xuan Hao's shoulder.
Although he was angry, he held back and did not attack vital organs, only wanting to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.
However.
Faced with this powerful attack, Xuan Hao didn't even lift an eyelid.
Just as Yu Tianheng rushed to within five meters of him.
Xuan Hao suddenly opened his mouth.
Second Soul Skill - Golden Dragon Roar!
"Roar!!!"
Without any warning, a terrifying dragon roar filled with the aura of ancient savagery exploded on the Soul Battle Arena like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
A golden sound wave, visible to the naked eye, mixed with the purest and most powerful pressure of a superior dragon and a strong mental impact, instantly blasted towards Yu Tianheng, who was charging towards him!
"boom!!"
The once aggressive Yu Tianheng was now like a leaf in a storm in the face of this terrifying sound wave.
He felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if his soul had been struck hard with a sledgehammer.
Immediately afterwards, the fear from the depths of his bloodline erupted instantly, causing his soul power to dissipate instantly!
"puff--"
The martial spirit that had just possessed him was instantly forced to dissipate, the dragon scales disappeared, and the lightning was extinguished.
Yu Tianheng's eyes rolled back, and before he could even scream, he was blasted away by the sound wave.
He flew through the air in a tragic arc and crashed heavily to the ground below the Soul Arena, where he fell into a peaceful sleep.
