Chapter 17: Battle Against Yu Feng.
"Bone age of over eight years, soul power level twenty-one!"
Meng Shenji's voice trembled slightly.
"A mutated Blue Silver Grass martial soul? What kind of genius is this?"
The entire testing hall fell into a deathly silence.
Dugu Yan's eyes widened, and her mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.
"Xuanming, you're only eight years old!"
Her voice even changed tone.
Immediately, Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed red. Yesterday, she had actually been saved by Xuanming, who was seven years younger than her, and... and...
Dugu Yan murmured softly.
"I...I'm actually seven years older than Xuanming!"
Ye Lingling, who was standing to the side, was also stunned.
She thought Ye Xuanming was young yesterday, but she didn't expect him to be this young.
At just over eight years old, he already possesses level twenty-one soul power and the second ring of a thousand-year-old soul—that's incredible!
This is simply monstrous!
Although Ye Xingyue was also shocked, she maintained a gentle smile on the surface.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuanming possessed such strength.
Meng Shenji took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Xuanming, I will arrange your enrollment procedures immediately." Meng Shenji's attitude became much more amiable.
Just kidding, an eight-year-old Soul Master with two rings, even the Spirit Hall would fight over such a genius.
It's incredibly lucky that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy could receive such a student.
"Thank you very much, Commissioner Meng," Ye Xingyue said politely.
"Of course, of course," Meng Shenji waved his hands repeatedly.
"By the way, which class is Xuanming planning to join?"
Dugu Yan immediately spoke.
"Committee Member Meng, I would like to recommend Xuanming to join the Royal Fighting Team."
Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji's eyes lit up.
The Royal Fighting Team is the academy's ace team, and its members are all top performers in the academy.
If Ye Xuanming can join, the strength of the Royal Fighting Team will definitely be even higher in the next Soul Master Competition.
"This is a great suggestion, I agree!" Meng Shenji said.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the hall.
A tall, blue-haired young man walked in, followed by several students.
It was Yu Tianheng, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team.
When Yu Tianheng saw Dugu Yan, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Yanzi, I heard you went to Sunset Forest yesterday? How was your trip?"
"Not bad, you successfully obtained your third spirit ring," Dugu Yan replied simply.
Yu Tianheng's gaze swept across the hall, finally landing on Ye Xuanming.
"Who is this...?"
Yu Tianheng's tone was calm, but Ye Xuanming could sense a barely perceptible hint of hostility flashing in his eyes.
"Ye Xuanming is a friend of mine and Lingling's. The Dream God Machine Education Committee has already agreed to let him join the Royal Fighting Team," Dugu Yan said directly.
Yu Tianheng's expression changed slightly.
"Yanzi, the selection of team members needs to be carefully considered."
"What's there to consider? I trust Xuanming!" Dugu Yan said impatiently.
Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth inwardly.
He went to great lengths to get close to Dugu Yan in order to win over Dugu Bo through her.
Now that a little devil has suddenly appeared and Dugu Yan is so concerned about him, this is definitely not a good thing.
"Yanzi, I'm not questioning his talent." Yu Tianheng tried his best to keep his tone gentle.
"It's just that he's too young, and the team's training intensity is very high. I'm worried that he won't be able to handle it."
"Can't handle it?" Dugu Yan sneered.
Looking at the spirited Yu Tianheng before him, Ye Xuanming felt a growing fighting spirit within him.
After two years of self-cultivation, his soul power has reached level twenty-one, and he has also obtained the thousand-year soul ring of the Black Jade Bamboo.
More importantly, he vaguely sensed that the fusion of the two first soul skills had reached a critical point and was just missing a real battle to verify it.
"Thank you, Yanzi." Ye Xuanming turned to Dugu Yan, then shifted his gaze to Yu Tianheng. "Yu Tianheng, I'd like to spar with you."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were shocked to hear this.
"Xuanming, Yu Tianheng is already a Soul Master! You're only level twenty-one!" Dugu Yan hurriedly grabbed Ye Xuanming's sleeve.
Ye Lingling also quietly advised from the side: "It's too dangerous. The gap between you two is too big."
Upon hearing the challenge, Yu Tianheng burst into laughter. He turned to Dugu Yan, "Yanzi, I won't bully a child."
Then Yu Tianheng's arrogance was fully revealed: "Except for me and Yanzi, everyone in the Royal Fighting Team is a Great Soul Master."
You should fight Yu Feng first, beat him, and then we can talk about challenging me.
"The weak are not worthy to fight me!"
Yu Tianheng's arrogance was not without reason.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul gave him immense confidence. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was hailed as the number one beast martial soul on the continent, which was the source of his pride.
More importantly, he has already reached the Soul Master realm and can activate part of his dragon transformation through his family's dragon transformation secret technique. Ordinary Soul Masters would undoubtedly be defeated if they fought against him!
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and began to explain the ability to control the wind to Ye Xuanming.
"Yu Feng's martial soul is the Wind Chime Bird, a level 28 Great Soul Master," Dugu Yan said quickly. "He is very fast and can fly. His soul skills include Wing Blade and Acceleration."
Ye Lingling added, "His fighting style leans towards guerrilla tactics, and he likes to use his speed advantage to wear down his opponents."
Meng Shenji watched the argument with great interest. Conflict is the driving force for progress, and this is good for the students.
Ye Xingyue then teased, "Good luck, Xuanming. If you're injured, Aunt Ye will have Lingling treat you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's pretty face, hidden beneath her veil, instantly flushed red: "Mother~"
The atmosphere immediately became lively.
Dugu Yan patted Ye Xuanming on the shoulder: "Go for it, Xuanming! With Aunt Ye here, all you need to do is fight!"
The group headed towards the Soul Arena within the academy.
Along the way, the students they encountered all cast curious glances at them.
"What's going on? Why are all the Royal Fighting Teams heading to the Soul Arena?"
"I heard that a new student wants to challenge the members of the Royal Fighting Team!"
"What? Who's so bold?"
"He seems to be a young genius, fighting against a level 28 opponent at level 21!"
The students were buzzing with discussion, and soon the entire academy knew the news.
Just then, a tall, green-haired old man strode in through the main gate of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
It was none other than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
He had just received a message saying that his granddaughter had brought a young man to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and fearing that Dugu Yan would be kidnapped by some young punk, he rushed over.
As soon as I arrived at the academy, I heard that a kid named Ye Xuanming was going to challenge the members of the Royal Fighting Team, a level 21 Great Soul Master versus a level 28 Great Soul Master.
Dugu Bo sneered inwardly, wanting to see what this kid was capable of to be so arrogant.
Inside the arena, the number of people watching from the stands is increasing.
Dugu Bo found Dugu Yan sitting with Ye Lingling and Ye Xingyue.
Yu Tianheng was originally standing nearby, but as soon as he saw Dugu Bo arrive, he immediately left awkwardly.
Dugu Bo was fully aware of Yu Tianheng's ulterior motives, so naturally he wouldn't give him a friendly look.
"Yanyan, I heard you brought a little boyfriend back?" Dugu Bo sat down next to Dugu Yan, his tone a little sour.
"Grandpa! He's seven years younger than me!" Dugu Yan blushed and quickly explained, but she didn't refute Dugu Bo's comment about her "little boyfriend".
Afterwards, Dugu Yan recounted her experiences in the Sunset Forest the previous day in detail, including how Ye Xuanming saved her.
After hearing this, Dugu Bo's hostility lessened slightly, but he remained wary.
"I want to see what this kid is capable of."
In the center of the arena, Meng Shenji stood in the referee's position.
"Both teams, prepare to begin!"
Yu Feng walked to the center of the field. He was thin and looked very agile.
After the martial spirit possessed him, a pair of light blue wings appeared on his back, and his whole demeanor became more ethereal.
"Yu Feng, his martial soul is the Wind Chime Bird, and he is a level 28 Great Soul Master!"
Two yellow spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, gleaming under the lights of the arena.
On the viewing platform, the trainees nodded in agreement.
Although Yu Feng is not the strongest member of the Royal Fighting Team, he is still considered a member with considerable strength.
Ye Xuanming walked to the other side, his expression calm.
"Ye Xuanming, with a mutated Blue Silver Grass martial soul, is a level 21 Great Soul Master."
He raised his right hand, and blue-gold Blue Silver Grass slowly appeared. Then he extended his left hand as well, and purple-gold Blue Silver Grass appeared at the same time.
The two colors of blue silver grass complement each other, emitting a strange light.
The viewing platform fell silent instantly, and everyone stared wide-eyed.
"What are these? Two kinds of Blue Silver Grass?"
"The color is completely different, is this really Blue Silver Grass?"
