. "Interesting."
A smile suddenly curled Qin Ming's lips. It had been a long time since he'd seen such an arrogant student. Lin Xiao was becoming increasingly irritated with his temper.
"Tianheng, since he's challenged you, practice with him."
Yu Tianheng walked out of the formation with a gloomy face. Three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, began to vibrate around his body, and the shadow of a giant blue dragon began to appear behind him .
"Boy, you will pay the price for your arrogance."
Lin Xiao calmly released his spirit. A crimson spear appeared out of thin air, a faint wisp of scorching flame curling around its shaft.
"Spirit - Dragon Soul Overlord Spear, Level 24 Power Attack Spirit Master.
" "Please advise."
Lin Xiao tapped the ground with the tip of his spear, his demeanor unbelievably calm. The two yellow spirit rings appeared and instantly retracted into his body.
While Yu Tianheng was considered a genius, he was only a level 31 Spirit Master. He clearly had no intention of using his spirit abilities to bully the opponent.
A flicker of surprise flashed across Yu Tianheng's eyes, but it quickly gave way to rage. This brat is too arrogant! He doesn't even know that a lion fighting a rabbit uses all its strength, let alone now that I'm a dragon.
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
A burst of blue-purple lightning ripped through the air, striking Lin Xiao in the face.
Ye Lengleng, observing the fight, instinctively grasped Dugu Yan's hand, only to notice a faint smile on his friend's lips.
In a flash, Lin Xiao's form suddenly blurred. His movements seemed slow, but he dodged the Thunder Dragon Claw's impact in the instant it struck, his spear barrel swung, redirecting Yu Tianheng's force towards the ground.
"Boom!" A deep, charred crater was blasted into the ground.
"Is this... using the opponent's force against you?"
Qin Ming abruptly stood up, his eyes gleaming. This technique takes years of practice to master, yet this eight-year-old boy managed it, and with such ease.
Yu Tianheng's expression darkened even further. He'd actually used a spirit skill, only to have a child easily dodge it.
"Third spirit skill, Thunderous Fury!"
A violent flash of lightning enveloped the entire arena, and everyone instinctively retreated.
Lin Xiao, however, advanced instead. A crimson flame suddenly erupted from his Dragon Soul Overlord Spear, colliding head-on with the lightning.
Amidst a deafening explosion, a figure flew backward—it was Yu Tianheng! His right arm sleeve shredded, his skin covered in fine bloodstains.
"Impossible!" Yu Feng exclaimed in shock.
In the center of the arena, Lin Xiao held his spear, his aura unwavering. He gazed at Yu Tianheng, who had scrambled to his feet, his expression eerily calm.
Remember, his Dragon Soul Overlord Spear had undergone two evolutions. The growth of his Dragon Soul would also enhance his overall physical capabilities. Though only level 24, he already crushed him in every way.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is nothing special."
These words utterly enraged Yu Tianheng. His eyes crimson, his hands transformed into a pair of massive dragon claws. He had clearly used his sect's secret technique—Dragon Transformation.
"You're courting death!"
"Enough! Tianheng, this is just a small competition. Are you going to risk your life?"
Qin Ming suddenly shouted, attempting to stop the competition.
He knew the terrifying power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's Dragon Transformation technique. It could instantly double attack power. If the competition continued, one of them would surely be seriously injured.
Yu Tianheng glared at Qin Ming fiercely.

"Teacher, get out of my way! He actually dared to underestimate our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit. I'll teach him a lesson."
Lin Xiao then said, "Teacher, I'm also going to see the magic of this 'Dragon Transformation'. Don't worry, I'll be careful."
He then rekindled his spirit ring. After Yu Tianheng activated Dragon Transformation, his attack power increased from 30% to 100%. Lin Xiao had to be cautious.
"First Spirit Skill, Dragon Soul Thousand Shadow Strike!"
As Yu Tianheng approached, Lin Xiao quickly activated his own spirit skill. Swinging his spear forward, a snake shadow, even more condensed than before, shot out from the spear tip.
Yu Tianheng, watching the snake shadow approach, suddenly grabbed with his dragon claws, instantly dispersing one.
"Huh! I thought your spirit skills were so well hidden, how powerful they could be, but it turns out to be just this..."
"Haha! Really? Then watch carefully!"
The words had barely left his lips! Lin Xiao began to wave his Dragon Soul Overlord Spear repeatedly, and the serpents suddenly multiplied to over a dozen.
Startled, Yu Tianheng scrambled to counterattack. But after dispelling three of the serpents, he was finally completely subdued.
Some crimson snakes entwined his legs, others bound his arms. Some swam directly onto his neck, their maws gaping, sharp fangs bared, staring intently at him.
For a moment, Yu Tianheng was paralyzed! No matter how much soul power he unleashed, he couldn't escape the swarms of snakes that now covered his body. Fear washed over him, and his legs began to tremble.
"Yu Tianheng, you lose,"
Qin Ming intervened, announcing, "Lin Xiao had at least three chances to seriously injure you, but he held back."
He then turned to look at Lin Xiao, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Lin Xiao, you win! Retract your spirit skills. From today on, you're an official member of the Tiandou Royal First Team."
Lin Xiao had no intention of punishing Yu Tianheng just yet. He understood the principle of "every wrong has its perpetrator." He
had already taught the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan a lesson; he would settle the rest of the accounts with his own clan later!
Then, with a swift retraction of his spear, all the snake shadows in the arena instantly dissipated. Yu Tianheng collapsed to the ground, the terror on his face lingering for a moment.
Ye Lingling, standing beside him, also breathed a sigh of relief as the shadow of the Nine-Hearted Begonia slowly dissipated behind her. She didn't notice that Dugu Yan, standing beside her, was observing Lin Xiao thoughtfully.
The spectators stared at Lin Xiao and Yu Tianheng in shock, their voices rising in unison.
"The captain... he actually lost! The continent's number one beast spirit lost to a kid of a lower rank."
"What kind of monster is this Lin Xiao? He's so young, yet his spirit power is so high, and his critical combat prowess is so terrifying."
"Oh... my God! He... he didn't even use his second spirit skill."
Qin Ming was equally shocked, but as a teacher, he had to remain calm. After instructing Ye Lengleng to treat Yu Tianheng's injuries, he walked over to Lin Xiao.
"Lin Xiao! You're the most talented person I've ever met. You've mastered your spirit skills to such a degree. I bet it must have taken a lot of effort!"
"But Yu Tianheng is also a key player on my team. I don't know what your feud is, but can you please let go of his withdrawal?"
"But from now on, you'll be the captain of the Tiandou Team."
Lin Xiao nodded gently. Knowing he was new and unfamiliar with the others, and that kicking Yu Tianheng out was out of the question, he immediately agreed.
