Yu Tianheng's second soul skill was extremely powerful, especially when amplified by his third soul skill.
If it had been anyone else, they would have undoubtedly been pierced by that lightning arrow, with the lightning energy exploding inside their body.
Weaker individuals would be instantly killed or severely injured, while stronger ones would still suffer full-body paralysis, falling into a crippled state and becoming easy prey.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's defense had not been raised to its maximum, yet that lightning arrow still failed to pierce through his skin.
The lightning, carrying a strong paralyzing effect, could only make him feel refreshed.
It had been a long time since he last underwent a lightning tribulation. Being shocked like this now actually made Jiang Chen somewhat nostalgic for that feeling.
Yu Tianheng was punched in the stomach by Jiang Chen and sent flying more than ten meters away.
The stomach was not a vital point, but at this moment, Yu Tianheng felt intense pain throughout his entire body. Especially in his abdomen, it felt as if Jiang Chen's punch had pierced and torn through it.
Lightning also flowed into Yu Tianheng's body from Jiang Chen's fist, and the strong paralyzing sensation left him somewhat dazed.
As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was born with control over lightning and the ability to command it. He never expected that one day he would be electrocuted by an unknown person.
Yu Tianheng collapsed onto the ground. Overwhelmed by the intense pain, he couldn't help but vomit with a "wah" sound.
The breakfast he had eaten with Dugu Yan on the street earlier had not even been fully digested yet, and now it was all punched out by Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen frowned and waited for nearly a minute, but Yu Tianheng still couldn't get up.
He stepped forward, approaching coldly as he sneered, "You can't even withstand a single punch from me? Is this all you've got? Trash like you still want to take Yan Yan back?"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul is very strong, but on a piece of trash like you, it's simply an insult to this martial soul."
Jiang Chen's cold and ruthless words were like knives, stabbing into Yu Tianheng's heart one after another.
Now he was not only trying to provoke Yu Tianheng's anger, but also to give him a lesson imprinted deep into his soul.
Never rely on your martial soul and arrogantly look down on other soul masters.
A proud mentality would not only affect one's own cultivation motivation, but one day, you would end up just like today, defeated by the person you looked down upon.
Yu Tianheng's eyes turned blood-red, almost oozing blood. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his fingernails had already dug into his palms without him noticing.
He stared fixedly at Jiang Chen, letting out a low roar like a cornered beast on the brink of death.
His girlfriend had sided with this pretty boy, and the pretty boy hadn't even used his martial soul, defeating him with a single punch.
He was insulted as trash, garbage, unworthy of possessing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.
Yu Tianheng had gone beyond anger; his blood was boiling all over. The soul power that had been greatly consumed by the third soul skill earlier actually began to surge violently once more.
He seemed to hear a faint "crack" sound inside his body, as if something had shattered. Immediately after, an even more surging and turbulent soul power filled his meridians.
He had broken through. Under the immense stimulation and anger, he had broken through the bottleneck, and his soul power had reached the fortieth rank.
Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised and said, "Breaking through in desperate straits, that's quite unexpected. How about this, I won't use my lightning abilities. If you can last half an incense stick of time under my hands, I'll let Dugu Yan leave with you. How about it?"
The paralyzing sensation in Yu Tianheng's body disappeared. He stood up, and the raging emotions had surprisingly dissipated. The entire person had calmed down.
"Thank you," he said softly.
It was Jiang Chen who had given him unprecedented humiliation, and suddenly he felt an overwhelming sense of shame.
As the leading figure of the younger generation in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, possessing the strongest beast martial soul in the soul master world, he had inevitably developed a full body of arrogance.
Although he had lost to Tang San last time and gained some vigilance, he hadn't taken it too seriously. After all, Tang San was just a control-type soul master with the Blue Silver Grass control system.
He felt that he had only lost to Tang San's control abilities. If the two fought one-on-one, he could beat Tang San to a pulp.
Until now, Jiang Chen had delivered a heavy blow to him—a far heavier one—like morning bells and evening drums that suddenly woke him up.
Looking at Yu Tianheng's performance, Jiang Chen finally began to feel satisfied.
Yu Tianheng's mental resilience was still quite strong. Even after taking such a heavy blow, he hadn't completely lost his mind and was still able to calm himself down. That was quite rare.
"I know I can't defeat you, but today I must take Yan Yan away."
"Then try to last half an incense stick of time under my attacks," Jiang Chen said as he took out an incense stick and broke off half of it.
Soul power surged, and with a rub of his fingers, the incense was lit.
With a flick of his arm, the incense was inserted into the distant wall.
One full incense stick here lasted about half an hour, so half an incense stick was fifteen minutes.
Fifteen minutes were more than enough for him to properly discipline Yu Tianheng.
As for letting him take Dugu Yan away? Impossible.
Such an obedient maid, how could he possibly let Yu Tianheng take her?
"Alright," Yu Tianheng said in a deep voice.
A surging wave of soul power erupted from his body. In addition, there was now a fighting spirit that hadn't been there before.
It was an unyielding fighting spirit that slightly moved Jiang Chen.
He knew that Yu Tianheng not only wanted to take Dugu Yan away but also wanted to fight for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Jiang Chen's hands were itching. He had already gauged Yu Tianheng's endurance earlier, so he no longer wasted time.
If he could make Yu Tianheng willingly submit through pure strength alone, Jiang Chen would still be very satisfied.
Of course, in the end, he definitely wouldn't escape being sucked on once.
Yu Tianheng did not take the initiative to attack. He stood ready, treating Jiang Chen as the most powerful enemy of his life.
Jiang Chen did not use his Lightning Fist. Relying solely on the terrifying power of his physical body, he swung his fists toward Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng released his third soul skill. With his current soul power, this skill should be able to last for the duration of half an incense stick.
He released skills from time to time, but more often, he clashed with Jiang Chen using fists and feet.
Jiang Chen's attacks were as fierce as a storm. If Yu Tianheng continuously released skills, his soul power would quickly be exhausted.
But he soon regretted it. Jiang Chen's fists were more terrifying than the legendary Clear Sky Hammer, powerful, heavy, and indestructible!
When his fists and feet collided with them, his bones nearly shattered.
Left with no choice, he could only keep using soul skills, hoping to inflict even a little damage on Jiang Chen.
What shocked him was that, in this close-quarters melee, his first and second soul skills had almost no effect on Jiang Chen.
Aside from his clothes being torn and his skin gradually turning red from the skill bombardments, Jiang Chen showed no signs of weakening. Instead, he was becoming more and more ferocious.
Yu Tianheng's soul power was rapidly depleting, and despair gradually rose in his heart.
Just who was this young man in front of him? He was clearly about the same age as him, yet his overwhelming strength made Yu Tianheng feel hopeless.
He glanced at the burning incense and felt that he wouldn't be able to last until it was finished.
Jiang Chen's powerful spiritual power sensed Yu Tianheng's condition and adjusted his own strength accordingly.
Sparring with Yu Tianheng was indeed much more comfortable than with Xiao Ying. He suppressed his power, but his attack speed did not slow down. His fists smashed into Yu Tianheng with loud thuds.
Yu Tianheng's ferocious and terrifying dragon arm had already begun to crack under Jiang Chen's fists. Blood sprayed out from the gaps between the blue-purple scales.
Jiang Chen glanced at the incense. It was almost burned out.
With a thought, the power in his hands instantly increased several times. Three consecutive punches slammed into Yu Tianheng's chest.
Terrifying force surged into Yu Tianheng's body. His internal organs suffered severe damage. Yu Tianheng's expression turned horrified as he coughed up blood violently.
Looking at Yu Tianheng lying on the ground, his spirit withered. Jiang Chen said indifferently, "You lost."
Yu Tianheng lay on the ground, his withered expression filled with bewilderment.
At this moment, he had lost all ability to resist. The damage to his internal organs was unimaginably severe.
He couldn't even crawl up now.
Such injuries would take several months to recover from.
As the most outstanding genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, he had actually lost to a peer who hadn't even used his martial soul.
The opponent was completely unharmed, while he was heavily injured and on the verge of death.
There was no way he could take Yan Yan back, and he had completely lost face with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
At this moment, he even developed the thought of ending his own life.
Unfortunately, with his current injuries, he couldn't even do that.
Jiang Chen naturally saw the ashen look on Yu Tianheng's face and knew that this young man had already developed suicidal thoughts.
He was still too young after all. He couldn't even withstand this little bit of setback… Jiang Chen helplessly shook his head.
"Tianheng!" Dugu Yan rushed out with tears streaming down her face like pear blossoms in the rain.
Seeing Yu Tianheng's miserable appearance, her heart ached unbearably. She quickly squatted down and helped Yu Tianheng sit up, letting him lean against her softest spot.
"Master, please hurry and save Tianheng," Dugu Yan said with tears covering her face, looking at Jiang Chen pleadingly.
Xiao Ying also walked over, gave Jiang Chen a push, and said, "He's Sister Yan's boyfriend. Just heal his injuries."
Hearing Dugu Yan call Jiang Chen "Master," Yu Tianheng surprisingly felt no anger. Such a monstrous youth indeed had the qualifications for Yan Yan to follow.
It was just that the title "Master" made Yan Yan seem too lowly.
Jiang Chen calmly looked down at Yu Tianheng and asked, "Are you willing to follow me together with Yan Yan?"
Yu Tianheng's gaze was dim. "You defeated me without even using your martial soul. What is there about someone like me worth recruiting?"
Jiang Chen said indifferently, "Arrogance and pride will only make you fall behind. Following a strong person will broaden your horizons, make your fighting spirit even stronger, and give you a brighter future."
Yu Tianheng's dim eyes gradually brightened. "While fighting you earlier, I realized that aside from my skills, my fist and foot techniques are far inferior to yours. Are you willing to teach me?"
His pride had been completely shattered by Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's strength had indeed planted the thought of following him in his heart.
He felt that what Jiang Chen said was right. Following a strong person would allow him to become stronger faster, this was an eternal truth.
Most importantly, he felt that Dugu Yan would not give up on this Master. For Dugu Yan's sake, he was also willing to follow Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen nodded. "If you follow me, I will teach you whatever you want to learn. It just depends on whether you can learn it."
A flash of joy appeared on Yu Tianheng's face. He struggled to get up but failed, coughing a few times as more blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Then I am willing to follow you. However, you must not harm my family," Yu Tianheng said weakly.
Dugu Yan cried tears of joy and hugged Yu Tianheng even tighter, letting him stay in that brainwave position so he would feel more comfortable.
Jiang Chen said, "Of course. Since you are following me, I will not harm your families."
As he spoke, he took out a healing pill and poured one out for Yu Tianheng.
"This is a healing pill. Swallow it."
Both Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng looked curiously at the deep green pill. They had never seen such a thing before.
The scent it emitted made them feel comfortable just from smelling it.
Dugu Yan did not hesitate at all. She quickly took the pill and stuffed it into Yu Tianheng's mouth.
Yu Tianheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His girlfriend seemed to trust this Master way too much, she hadn't even thought twice before stuffing this unknown object into her boyfriend's mouth.
He wasn't worried that the so-called pill was poisonous. If Jiang Chen wanted to kill him, there was no need for such a roundabout method.
"Huh?" Yu Tianheng couldn't help but let out a soft sound of surprise the moment he swallowed the pill.
The pill turned into a warm current that spread through his body. Especially the severely damaged internal organs were wrapped in rich medicinal power and were actually recovering at an astonishing speed.
The comfortable feeling almost made him unable to hold back a groan.
"Tianheng, what's wrong?" Dugu Yan asked worriedly.
Yu Tianheng shook his head. "I'm fine. This pill is truly miraculous. My injuries are recovering rapidly."
"Really?" Dugu Yan was overjoyed.
Jiang Chen smiled. "In the future, I will give you a portion of these pills regularly. As my people, I will not be stingy."
"Master, please grant Tianheng powerful strength and eternal lifespan," Dugu Yan looked up expectantly.
"Bring him into the room," Jiang Chen said as he turned and walked toward his own room.
The moment he turned around, he met Xiao Ying's gaze.
His clothes were already in tatters, with several large holes even in his pants, almost exposing him.
"You even dare to take advantage of your brother."
Jiang Chen glared at her and wanted to slap that perky little butt, but his hand stopped halfway.
He hurriedly walked into the room, his voice coming out: "Wait for me to change clothes first."
"Peh! Who wants to take advantage of you?" Xiao Ying lightly spat.
Yu Tianheng now had the ability to move. With Dugu Yan's support, he stood up.
"Yan Yan, what is this powerful strength and eternal lifespan you mentioned earlier?" Yu Tianheng was extremely curious.
If it had been before, he would have definitely scoffed at those words, but after experiencing the miraculous pill, he no longer found it funny.
Xiao Ying quietly perked up her ears nearby. She was even more curious and expectant than Yu Tianheng.
She felt that she was about to find out why Dugu Yan was so dead set on calling Jiang Chen "Master."
Dugu Yan smiled. "Weren't you very curious before about why my strength and recovery speed have become so astonishing? This is the ability Master granted me."
Yu Tianheng's expression turned shocked. He cried out in alarm, "How is that possible?"
Xiao Ying became even more curious upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is going on?"
Yu Tianheng glanced at this unfamiliar girl and said, "A while ago, when we were out training, we were ambushed. Yan Yan's heart was pierced through. We all thought she was going to die, but unexpectedly, she only weakened for a while before quickly recovering completely."
Yu Tianheng recalled that day's events and still couldn't help but marvel.
"How is that possible!" Xiao Ying was shocked. A pierced heart and still alive?
Soon, she realized Yu Tianheng wasn't lying and urgently asked, "Sister Yan, you just said this ability was given to you by Brother Chen?"
Dugu Yan nodded slightly. "Yes."
"Then how did he give it to you?" Xiao Ying pressed, her pretty face showing some urgency.
"He just bit me once." Dugu Yan's voice suddenly became soft.
"Where did he bite?" Yu Tianheng asked with a frown.
"The neck," Dugu Yan's face reddened slightly. She quickly explained, "Other than that, Master has never touched me."
Yu Tianheng's brows relaxed, and he said nothing more, but in his heart, he actually began to look forward to it.
Just what kind of miraculous ability was this, that biting someone once could grant them astonishing strength and recovery ability?
Xiao Ying's big eyes flickered, not knowing what she was thinking.
At that moment, the room door creaked open. Jiang Chen said, "Come in."
Just as Dugu Yan was about to help Yu Tianheng inside, Xiao Ying, like an agile little cat, slipped in first.
This was a great opportunity to learn Jiang Chen's secret, she would never let it pass.
She swore that even if she died, she wouldn't go out.
Such a good thing, and he wasn't giving it to her…
What a stingy Holy Son.
Those few months of friendship couldn't be relied on.
