...
"Boss..."
Yu Tianheng stared at the rubble and the shattered plaque, his eyelids twitching wildly. After much hesitation, he finally steeled himself and approached Xuan Hao, lowering his voice to advise him:
"Should we... take it easy?"
"The dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong, is my cousin.
Although the family doesn't mention it much in public, my second grandfather, Yu Luomian, takes good care of her."
"and..."
Yu Tianheng swallowed hard, a deep sense of dread in his eyes:
"My aunt's temper is notoriously fiery, you could even say... brutal!"
"When she gets angry, she doesn't care about status or position, and she doesn't mind bullying the weak!
If we mess with her like this, what if we really piss off this female tyrant..."
"Cousin?"
Xuan Hao glanced at him sideways and snorted disdainfully, "She's not your biological mother, what are you afraid of?"
"Besides, even if it's my own mother, if she dares to touch my people, I'll beat her without hesitation!"
"As for having a bad temper?"
Xuan Hao clenched his fist, making a cracking sound.
"Coincidentally, I also have a bad temper."
"And I'm the kind of person who specializes in dealing with all kinds of bad tempers!"
"If you dare to say any more of this nonsense that undermines morale, believe me, I'll beat you up right now as a sacrifice to the flag."
"..."
Looking into Xuan Hao's crimson-gold vertical pupils, Yu Tianheng felt a chill run down his spine, instantly shut his mouth, and obediently shrank back into the group.
Well, it's hard to reason with a damned devil.
Anyway, he had already warned him, but this kid insisted on courting death, so he couldn't be blamed.
Just then.
"boom--!!"
A raging crimson flame shot into the sky from the depths of Blue Tyrant Academy, streaking across the sky like a meteor, and crashed heavily onto the ruins of the academy's main gate!
"Bang!"
Flames exploded, and waves of heat rolled in.
A beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure, dressed in a red outfit, emerged from the flames.
Looking at the messy gate and the shattered plaque, her eyebrows shot up, her eyes blazed with fury, and she exuded a suffocating aura of menace.
"who?!"
"Which damned bastard dares to smash my door?!"
"Are you tired of living?!"
Just as the entire audience fell silent, a clear and arrogant voice suddenly rang out.
"I did it."
Liu Erlong turned his head sharply, his gaze like a knife shooting towards the source of the sound.
A silver-haired boy who looked only eight or nine years old stood in front of a group of trembling noble students, his hands in his pockets, looking at her calmly.
"Whose brat are you?"
Liu Erlong frowned, sized Xuan Hao up and down, her anger slightly subsided, but her tone remained unfriendly:
"You haven't even grown your hair yet, and you dare to cause trouble at my Blue Tyrant Academy?"
"Is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy out of people? Sending a child to die?"
"Sending them to their deaths?"
Xuan Hao chuckled lightly, showing no fear whatsoever.
Instead, he raised his head and looked directly into Liu Erlong's fiery eyes:
"Dean Liu, don't speak too soon."
"Yesterday, students from your college beat up my people.
I'm here today just to demand an explanation and get revenge."
"how?"
Xuan Hao sized Liu Erlong up and down, his eyes revealing a hint of provocation:
"Judging from Dean Liu's posture, does he intend to replace your bunch of useless students and personally spar with me?"
"..."
The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Whether it was the students and teachers from Tiandou Royal Academy or those from Lanba Academy who rushed over upon hearing the news, they were all like ducks with their necks choked, mouths agape, unable to utter a sound.
He's gone mad...
This kid is absolutely insane!
That's Liu Erlong!
Formerly one of the Golden Iron Triangle, the Horn of Slaughter!
A powerful expert at the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor!
And notoriously short-tempered and ruthless!
This kid actually dared to provoke her to her face?
And even asked her if she wanted to practice?
What's the difference between this and courting death?!
"Boss... that's way too tough!"
The trainees behind were all trembling in their knees, and some had even started to secretly shrink back.
"Great! Excellent!"
Liu Erlong was so angry she laughed, a chilling, sinister smile spreading across her beautiful face.
"In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen such an arrogant brat!"
"Want to spar with me?"
"Sure!"
"Originally, I wouldn't stoop to bullying the weak, but since you've chosen to die, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your family today!"
"boom!"
Liu Erlong's body erupted in flames, and a huge phantom of a fire dragon appeared behind her, its terrifying soul power instantly sweeping across the entire area.
"Don't say I'm bullying you!"
"I won't use any soul skills!
As long as you can withstand three punches from me, this matter is over!"
"Can't catch it..."
"Then kneel down! Lick this door clean!"
"Three punches?"
Xuan Hao looked at Liu Erlong, who had a "I've already given you a lot of face" expression, curled his lip, and said with a look of disdain:
"Dean Liu, aren't you going too far by bullying us?"
"Hmph, now you're scared?"
Liu Erlong sneered, about to say, "If you're scared, then hurry up and kneel down and apologize," but before she could finish speaking, Xuan Hao's next words almost made her faint.
"I mean, letting you throw only three punches is a huge underestimation of me."
Xuan Hao cracked his neck, producing a series of sharp cracking sounds, and his crimson-gold vertical pupils surged with fighting spirit.
"Stop with the formalities, let's have a real fight!"
"You don't need to hold back, fight however you want.
If I lose today, forget about licking the door, I'll take your surname and become your godson!"
"Take my surname?!"
Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment, then looked at him as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, "Kid, are you out of your mind?
Fight me?
Do you even know how to spell 'death'?"
"Scared?"
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow and asked in return.
"Afraid?! Do you think I'd be afraid of a brat like you?!"
Liu Erlong was completely enraged, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Fine, let's fight! But let me make this clear: fists and feet have no eyes.
If I kill you without restraint, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"rest assured."
Xuan Hao shrugged.
"When you're in this game, life and death are in the hands of fate.
If I really get beaten to death, it's because I'm not skilled enough, and I deserve it."
"but..."
"If I lose, I'll take your surname.
But what if you lose?"
"Will you take my surname too?"
Xuan Hao stroked his chin, pondering seriously, "Xuan Erlong?
This name... it sounds like a fool's name.
It doesn't sound good, it doesn't sound good."
"you!!"
Liu Erlong felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. Why was this kid so cheeky?
"Enough with the nonsense!
If I lose, this Blue Tyrant Academy is yours!!"
She refused to believe that she, a dignified six-ring Soul Emperor, could lose to such a little brat.
If word got out, how could Liu Erlong ever face the Soul Master world again?
"make a deal!"
Xuan Hao snapped his fingers, and the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a suffocatingly cold and murderous aura.
"I, Xuan Hao, will reluctantly accept this academy!"
Boom—!!
Before he finished speaking, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.
"Possessed by a golden dragon!"
With a deep dragon roar, brilliant golden light instantly enveloped his entire body.
This time, it wasn't the faint golden light of before, but solid golden dragon scales!
From his neck to his arms and legs, dense dragon scales covered most of his body like armor.
His hands transformed into sharp dragon claws, and his eyes became vertical red-gold pupils filled with ferocity and majesty.
This was the first time everyone at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had seen Xuan Hao's true martial soul possession; before, it had almost always been just simple half-possession.
However, Xuan Hao did not reveal his spirit ring. After all, a 100,000-year spirit ring was too conspicuous.
The Ice Dragon King had also taught him how to hide his spirit ring, so it was not a difficult task.
"This...this is..."
Liu Erlong's pupils contracted, and the Fire Dragon Martial Soul within her body began to tremble uncontrollably, even causing her soul power circulation to become somewhat sluggish.
Martial Soul Suppression?!
and...
This soul power fluctuation... is it above level 40?!
