"Captain, you'd better be careful this time! There are only two of us. Don't go getting steamrolled like last time, where you got one-vs-seven'd."

Ye Lingling, her face hidden behind a veil, muttered coldly. Her sharp, clear eyes were locked firmly on the two figures before her—a golden-haired youth and a petite girl in green with flowing black hair.

The reason she and Yu Tianheng had come to the Soto Great Spirit Arena was mainly because Dugu Yan had recently broken through the 40th rank, becoming the first Soul Ancestor of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy battle team.

After parting ways with Dai Weisi, Dugu Bo had fought his old rival, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and then set out across the continent to find a suitable ten-thousand-year soul bone for his granddaughter. Given his reputation and strength, it took him only a few months to locate one with the perfect poison attribute. He also helped Dugu Yan condense the toxins in her body into the soul bone, preventing her body from further being corroded by her own venom.

On top of that, Dugu Bo searched near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and gathered several rare medicinal herbs specially suited for her. After taking these herbs and cultivating diligently for the past few months, Dugu Yan's soul power surged ahead of Yu Tianheng's, successfully reaching rank 40.

Once her soul power advanced, the Heaven Dou team, though delighted, wasted no time in bringing her to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for her fourth spirit ring. After killing a 5,000-year-old Emerald Phosphorescent Snake, Dugu Yan's soul power rose again to rank 41, officially making her the first Soul Ancestor in the Heaven Dou Academy team.

However, instead of returning to the academy, Qin Ming led the team straight to the Soto Great Spirit Arena for live combat training—one-on-one, two-on-two, and full seven-on-seven battles—to help them accumulate real experience for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament a year and a half away.

Meanwhile, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had come to Shrek Academy to personally oversee Tang San's training. After completing their physical conditioning phase, Yu Xiaogang initiated the second stage: real combat in the Great Spirit Arena.

As expected of the so-called "monsters," Tang San and his companions quickly made a name for themselves in the arena, becoming known as the "Shrek Six Devils." Because Zhu Zhuqing had yet to officially join the academy, the team only had six core members at the time.

Back on the battlefield, Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling now faced their opponents from Shrek Academy: Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong.

Dai Mubai, unmistakably the younger brother of Dai Weisi, bore an uncanny resemblance to him—enough that anyone could instantly tell the two were related by blood. At fifteen years old, Dai Mubai had already reached rank 37, a genuine Soul Exalted. He was clearly a genius in his own right; after all, Dai Weisi hadn't achieved such strength at his age.

Next to him stood a young girl dressed in green: Ning Rongrong, the cherished princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Her martial spirit was the famed Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and though only at rank 27, she was an elite support-type Soul Grandmaster.

"Heh, don't worry!" Yu Tianheng grinned, his face brimming with confidence.

"My soul power is at rank 39 now, and I'm already familiar with that guy's martial spirit. It won't be so easy to bring me down!"

"You said the same thing before you fought the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire."

Ye Lingling shook her head in exasperation, eyes narrowed. While she mocked Tianheng outwardly, inwardly she remained cautious—especially of Ning Rongrong, who wielded the strongest support-type martial spirit on the continent. That wasn't something to take lightly.

"The match begins now!"

Up above, the host's voice rang out. With a loud announcement, the two-on-two Spirit Battle officially began!

In the audience, the rest of the Shrek Academy team—along with Dugu Yan and her group—were watching the arena intently, eyes fixed on every movement of the fighters.

Particularly Yu Tianheng. He had once been defeated by Dai Weisi and was still licking his wounds from that humiliation. Though it wasn't clear how this Dai Mubai was related to Dai Weisi, the Evil Eye White Tiger martial spirit was enough of a clue. That, plus the fact he had become a Soul Exalted at only fifteen, made it obvious this kid was no ordinary opponent.

Yu Tianheng was desperate for a solid victory—to redeem himself and to prove the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit was not inferior to the Evil Eye White Tiger. To that end, he had trained relentlessly and was now just a step away from rank 40.

"Come on, then!"

With a roar, Yu Tianheng's killing intent burst forth.

His muscles swelled dramatically, and with a ripping sound, his shirt was shredded by his bulging frame. His right arm transformed into a fearsome dragon claw, glinting menacingly in the light. With one swing, it looked capable of slicing through steel like tofu.

Surrounded by crackling lightning, Yu Tianheng stood amid flashes and thunderclaps. The shrill roar of electricity echoed as cobalt-blue arcs slithered outward like writhing serpents.

If he weren't worried about electrocuting Ye Lingling, Tianheng's storm would have engulfed the entire arena.

In one swift bound, he lunged forward. With a blur of motion, the dragon-clawed arm crackled with thunder as he unleashed Black Tiger Heart-Piercer, driving his claw right for Dai Mubai's chest!

Seeing the ferocity of the attack, Dai Mubai's eyes sharpened. His First Spirit Ring flared to life. Tianheng's speed was too great to dodge—he braced himself.

"First Spirit Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

Muscles bulging, Mubai condensed soul power into a golden bell-shaped shield before him, meeting the lightning-charged dragon claw head-on.

The moment the dragon claw struck, thunder erupted in a brilliant display. The lightning's force rippled across the barrier, which began to crack under the onslaught.

Mubai's heart leaped. No wonder they call it the Blue-Lightning Tyrant Dragon—their beast-type spirit really is the continent's strongest. And he shattered my First Skill without even using one of his own…

What Mubai didn't realize was that, in his obsession to avenge his brother Dai Weisi, Tianheng had devised countless countermeasures against the Evil-Eye White Tiger spirit. By sheer will, Tianheng had already outmatched him.

Still… this is my chance!

A fierce light ignited in Mubai's eyes. He might have looked timid before Dai Weisi, but he was anything but a coward in front of others—fighting spirit boiling over, or as some called it, "bullies the weak and trembles before the strong."

His Second Spirit Ring flared, and a sphere of white light formed in his palm. Taking aim at Tianheng's chest, he fired without hesitation.

"Second Spirit Skill: White Tiger Blazing Wave!"

Boom!

At point-blank range, Tianheng had no time to evade. The light-orb slammed into him like a cannonball, sending him flying backward like a severed kite.

He crashed hard, blood bursting from his lips. Yet even as crimson stained his shirt, a faint grin curved his mouth.

"Heh heh heh—is that all you've got?" Tianheng laughed lightly. "Compared to the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, your attack is… disappointingly weak."

Despite being felled, Tianheng reminded himself that Mubai had already used two spirit skills—while he hadn't unleashed a single one yet.

Mubai's face drained of color. He gasped, "Y-you… you know Dai Weisi?"

"Met him once," Tianheng replied. "He's formidable. Don't even dream of beating him—I'd wager that even the seven of us from the Imperial Battle Team combined couldn't take him down."
