Chapter 120 – The Fake Xiao Lin Gets Beaten Up

At the same time, just like Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, there were quite a few others with similar behavior.

Ye Lingling, Yu Tianheng, and the Shi brothers had all sent letters to their respective families.

However, none of them were as dramatic about it as Ning Rongrong or Dugu Yan.

The next morning.

Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, training area of the Royal Fighting Team.

As usual, the majority of the team members had already arrived at the training grounds and begun their workouts.

Yu Tianheng was training his dragonification ability, the Shi brothers were sparring, Oslo and Yufeng were chasing each other with weights on their backs up a small hill…

At that moment, a stranger appeared in the Royal Fighting Team's training area.

It was Tang Ni, and she was dragging Xiao Lin by the collar with tremendous brute strength, forcing him step by step toward the Duel Soul Battle Platform.

"Damn! Who is that girl? She's so fierce!"

"Wow, such strength—she's just dragging Xiao Lin like that?"

The Shi brothers were the first to notice Tang Ni and cried out in surprise.

Though they hadn't fought Xiao Lin before, that didn't mean they couldn't recognize the powerful strength hidden beneath his physique.

In terms of explosive power and raw strength alone, Xiao Lin might even surpass Yu Tianheng.

This was the Shi brothers' consensus, based on their own judgment after Xiao Lin's battle with Yu Tianheng.

They had no solid proof—just the instincts honed by battle experience.

Upon hearing the Shi brothers' comments, Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling also looked toward the Soul Battle Arena with curiosity.

At this moment, Tang Ni stood on the platform, arms crossed, looking smugly at Xiao Lin.

But Xiao Lin looked utterly timid, almost like he was about to beg for mercy.

"Xiao Lin, we agreed yesterday—if I won, I'd become captain of the Royal Fighting Team, and you'd call me 'big sister!'"

Tang Ni said loudly, directly exposing the bet she'd made with Xiao Lin to the other team members.

At this point, Xiao Lin looked utterly confused.

He had said something like that?

He had a big sister?

How did he miss that in the intel?!

In reality, this "Xiao Lin" was actually a fake. He was only trying to gather information on why the real Xiao Lin had bought whale glue. But by the time he finished his recon, he discovered that Xiao Lin had only just enrolled…

Yet he was already an official member of the Royal Fighting Team. And even… the captain?

What was going on here?

This fake Xiao Lin was a speed-type agility soul master who specialized in information gathering. How could he possibly beat a monster-strength Tyrannosaurus girl like Tang Ni?

After a bit of thinking, and under the stares of all the students, the fake Xiao Lin decided: just agree and surrender immediately.

If I surrender fast enough, no one can beat me.

The fake Xiao Lin was quite pleased with this logic and then put on a calm expression.

"Alright then, let's do this."

But the moment he finished speaking, he saw a flash of golden light in front of him, followed by a delicate-looking but powerful jade-white fist flying toward his face.

Wait, I didn't even say 'start' yet!

Just as he opened his mouth to surrender—

Boom!

His vision went black, and he felt a shattering force crush his nasal bone.

The immense impact directly rattled his fragile brain.

BOOM!

In an instant, the fake Xiao Lin was sent flying backward, slamming into the Soul Battle Platform's protective barrier with a thunderous crash.

The barrier trembled for quite a while afterward, and the members of the Royal Fighting Team all gasped sharply.

This blonde beauty is way too violent!

Captain Xiao Lin was taken out with a single punch?!

Several team members silently lamented that they might be getting yet another new captain soon.

Even the strongest among them—Yu Tianheng—frowned deeply, staring at the golden-haired girl in disbelief.

Looking at Tang Ni's tall, slender figure, she didn't seem like someone with such monstrous strength. Yu Tianheng felt an inexplicable pressure.

Did she even use her martial soul just now?

Did she activate any soul rings?

Why didn't I notice anything?

Why is my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul afraid of her?

Even Xiao Lin didn't give me that kind of feeling!

Could she possess an evolved form of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?

For a moment, Yu Tianheng was deeply shaken.

Awakening the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had always been his greatest pride. He looked down on other beast martial soul users at the same rank—like the Dai family's White Tiger.

If the Dai and Zhu family martial souls didn't have a fusion technique, Yu Tianheng wouldn't even acknowledge the White Tiger as powerful.

Although not arrogant by nature, this was just how he thought.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could elevate someone to Titled Douluo—could the White Tiger do that?

Of course, he still respected other beast martial soul users who had reached Titled Douluo rank.

But none of them had the lineage and legacy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan.

Now, a girl had appeared with a martial soul superior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—how could Yu Tianheng not be surprised?

Up until now, the only one he had held some respect for was Tianshui Academy's Shui Bing'er and her Phoenix martial soul.

But even then, Yu Tianheng had full confidence he could beat her.

Yet this golden-haired girl gave him, for the first time ever, a feeling of being unable to win.

Could she possess the kind of martial soul like Uncle Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Fusion technique?

Yu Tianheng had grown up under the care of Yu Xiaogang, and despite the current negative reputation surrounding him…

In the soul master world, strength speaks the loudest. As one corner of the Golden Iron Triangle, the "Wisdom Horn" of the Triumvirate Martial Soul Fusion, who would dare look down on that kind of power?

Yu Tianheng had learned about the Golden Sacred Dragon from Yu Xiaogang before.

And coupled with Master Xiao Yan's thesis, Yu Tianheng had long believed that one possible evolution path for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the Golden Sacred Dragon.

And now, was this girl's martial soul the Golden Sacred Dragon?

Could she be Aunt Liu Erlong's daughter?

But how is she related to Xiao Lin and the others?

Yu Tianheng's thoughts were racing. In just a few seconds, his mind had already wandered off to other possibilities.

At that moment, Yufeng rushed over due to the commotion from Tang Ni and the fake Xiao Lin's fight—and saw the scene unfold in an instant.

The invincible Xiao Lin was down! (sobs)

"Wait—that guy's not Xiao Lin!!"

As the fake Xiao Lin's disguise wore off, Yufeng shouted out loud.

"Hmph, I knew that guy wasn't Xiao Lin from the start."

Tang Ni crossed her arms and said proudly.

That fake Xiao Lin was shifty and suspicious—Tang Ni had seen through him at a glance.

Why? His luck just didn't match.

That fake Xiao Lin looked like a dead man walking. His aura was worlds apart from the real Xiao Lin's.

So Tang Ni didn't hesitate—she struck decisively and took him down in one go.

"I don't know who you are, but this is a very serious matter. Let me handle it from here."

At this point, since Xiao Lin and the others weren't around, Yu Tianheng temporarily took up the role of team captain of the Royal Fighting Team.

He now suspected that the fake Xiao Lin was someone sent from another academy to spy.

Without hesitation, Yu Tianheng grabbed the fake Xiao Lin by the collar and dragged him off toward Qin Ming's office.

"Hi, what's your name?"After Yu Tianheng left, the last remaining girl in the team, Ye Lingling, struck up a casual conversation with Tang Ni.
