As the two were about to collide, Qian Renhan did not glance at the aggrieved Qian Renxue. Instead, he calmly said, "Watch carefully as I show you how it's done."

Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned but then nodded slightly. "I understand, Brother. Good luck."

Yu Longchen's gaze swept over Qian Renhan from top to bottom, unable to discern his true strength. The Angel Martial Soul was adept at concealing soul power. Previously, when Qian Xunji's soul power had been clear, it was a deliberate release on his part as he flew. However, judging by the way Qian Renxue acted as a docile younger sister in front of Qian Renhan, it was clear that the gap in their strength was enormous.

"Tian Shuang, you go."

Yu Longchen sent out a direct disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, who had just broken through to the Great Soul Master rank.

On the arena, Qian Renhan and Yu Tianshuang locked eyes. Neither of them engaged in pleasantries like Feng Xiaotian, who had a habit of excessive social niceties.

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Tian Shuang, Martial Soul: Blue Electric Tyrant, Level 21 Attack-type Great Soul Master."

Two yellow soul rings rose from Yu Tian Shuang's feet, the same scene as when Yu Tianyuan had released his Martial Soul earlier. However, unlike Yu Tianyuan, Yu Tianshuang had a pair of dragon horns protruding from his forehead. This was a feature that appeared after a soul power breakthrough, marking the transformation of his body. When he reached level 30, a dragon tail and vertical pupils would emerge as well.

Qian Renhan did not introduce himself. His soul tool glowed, and a long sword appeared in his hand—the very sword he had been using for daily training and the one he had used to slay his first soul beast.

"Only if you can force me to use my Martial Soul will you deserve to know my name."

Qian Renhan's indifferent voice echoed throughout the arena, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect disciples' eyes filled with anger. In soul master duels, it was considered basic courtesy to announce one's Martial Soul and name. Qian Renhan's actions clearly indicated his contempt for Yu Tian Shuang's strength.

"What an arrogant junior. Pope, your son certainly knows how to show respect," Yu Longchen said, crushing the grip of his hand, his cold gaze fixed on Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji smiled. "Please calm down, Senior Longchen. This child has always been like this."

"Hmph!"

Yu Longchen was unmoved by this excuse and coldly replied, "Tian Shuang, defeat this brat, and I will permit you to select your third and fourth soul rings from the Thunder Canyon's soul beasts."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tian Shuang's adrenaline surged, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's direct disciples exchanged looks of envy.

The reason the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was located in the Thunder Canyon was that the environment there was perfect for training soul masters with the Blue Electric Tyrant Martial Soul. The soul beasts raised in the canyon were perfectly suited to their Martial Souls. Regular direct disciples could only obtain the first and second soul rings. Only those groomed to be the next heirs of the family could acquire the third and fourth soul rings. This greatly enhanced their potential and power.

"I don't know your name, but you will pay for your arrogance." Yu Tian Shuang's expression turned cold as his first soul ring activated. Blue and purple lightning gathered around his right claw as he rushed toward Qian Renhan.

Since both his first and second soul rings came from soul beasts raised in the Thunder Canyon, they were identical for all direct disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

"Thunder Dragon Claw!"

As Yu Tian Shuang's right arm was just half a meter away from Qian Renhan, Qian Renhan suddenly moved. He swung his sword with his left hand, aiming to strike the dragon claw.

Yu Tianshuang sneered when he saw this, thinking to himself, You really believe you can compare to my Thunder Dragon Claw with a mere sword? Do you think that sword is a divine artifact?

"No, this is an illusion!"

Yu Longchen, Sword Douluo, and Tang Xiao all exclaimed in surprise, their pupils widening. Qian Renhan had indeed swung his sword, but after the strike, the sword handle slipped from his left hand and hung in mid-air.

At this moment, Yu Longchen, distracted by the movement of Qian Renhan's right hand as if reaching for something, noticed the detached sword. He immediately realized it was a trap, but it was already too late to retreat.

Bang!

With a sharp sound, Qian Renhan's right hand gripped the sword, and with a swift turn of his body, he dodged Yu Tian Shuang's Thunder Dragon Claw, then slashed the sword toward Yu Tian Shuang's waist.

In a single strike, their bodies shifted apart.

"Next."

Qian Renhan spoke indifferently, not even bothering to turn around. He flicked the blood off his sword, while Yu Tian Shuang, standing behind him, had a clear blood mark on his right waist. Blood spurted from the wound, and his Martial Soul dissipated. Collapsing to the ground, he clutched his injury, his face twisted in pain.

"From level thirty onward, with each breakthrough, the Blue Electric Tyrant Martial Soul adds a new dragon-like feature to the body, covered in hard scales. However, before the scales appear, those limbs are incredibly fragile, and a sword can easily cut through them," Qian Renhan said casually, revealing the weakness of the Blue Electric Tyrant Martial Soul. Then, he turned his gaze to the enraged Yu Longchen and said, "Why haven't you had someone drag him off the stage yet? Find a healing-type soul master to treat him. I didn't hit his kidneys or intestines, but if he dies from blood loss, that's not my problem."

"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and take him back for treatment! Are you all fools?" Yu Longchen shouted angrily at the disciples of the outer sect, who were still stunned by the fatal weakness of the Blue Electric Tyrant Martial Soul.

The outer sect disciples quickly snapped out of their shock, lifting a stretcher and hurriedly carrying Yu Tianshuang off the stage.
