No need to tell me that.
"I also want to see the true level of the Inner Court's senior sister."
Tang Feng's fighting spirit surged.
With a thought, his Life Blue Silver Grass appeared in his right hand, and the four soul rings beneath his feet descended one by one.
Two purple, two black.
Even within the Inner Court, such a soul ring configuration was dazzlingly conspicuous.
In this era, the optimal soul ring configuration was:
Two yellow, two purple, four black, one red.
However, hunting a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast was far easier said than done.
"Look! That first-year freshman is actually a Soul Ancestor!"
"This is strange—Blue Silver Grass can also absorb soul rings ahead of sequence? Could he be a direct descendant of the ancestor?"
"Wow, that little junior is so handsome! I really like him—I want to kiss him!"
A large crowd gathered around the Soul Duel Arena.
They were all Inner Court disciples who had been sparring with one another when the senior sister suddenly brought outsiders in.
What was even more outrageous—
The Inner Court's senior sister was actually going to spar with Outer Court students.
This was unprecedented even in the Inner Court.
"I remember him."
"That's Bei Bei—he used to live in the Inner Court."
Someone recognized Bei Bei.
As for that child, they only knew he was a descendant of someone in the Sea God Pavilion and often wandered around the Inner Court in the past.
"Xiao Feng, I'll go first."
The second and third soul rings beneath Bei Bei's feet lit up simultaneously.
He first activated Thunderous Rage, amplifying all of his attributes.
Immediately afterward, lightning intertwined to form a massive thunder net, which he hurled toward Zhang Lexuan.
Bei Bei was only a Soul Elder.
Even going all out, he couldn't injure Zhang Lexuan in the slightest—
So he attacked with full force from the very start.
"Your speed is too slow."
Zhang Lexuan commented calmly.
If Bei Bei's Thunderous Fury had been a bit faster, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly by Tang Feng.
Being slow by even a fraction now could mean being slow by a fatal margin in a real battle.
Lightning possessed a natural advantage in speed—
not inferior to agility-type Soul Masters.
"Blue Silver Bind!"
Tang Feng's first soul ring lit up.
Strands of Blue Silver Grass abruptly wrapped around Zhang Lexuan's arms and legs.
At the same time, Bei Bei's thunder net descended, completely enclosing her.
"We… we hit her?!"
Bei Bei stared in disbelief.
This was the first time in all these years that his Thunderous Fury had actually landed on Zhang Lexuan.
The terrifying gap in their strength had always made him look like a helpless, raging fool—
unable to even touch her.
"So fast."
Zhang Lexuan's expression changed slightly.
She shattered the Blue Silver Grass, binding her limbs.
She truly hadn't expected Tang Feng to grasp the timing so perfectly—
locking her down for a split second and forcing her to take a direct hit from Thunderous Fury.
"Senior Sister, show your true strength."
"Otherwise, you'll get hurt."
Tang Feng's third soul ring lit up.
A battle spear formed entirely of Blue Silver Grass appeared tightly gripped in his hand.
Then, his first soul ring flashed again—
Blue Silver Grass instantly wrapped around Zhang Lexuan once more.
Because of Absolute First Strike—
Tang Feng was yanked forward with the vines, his body shooting toward her.
The razor-sharp Blue Silver Battle Spear thrust straight toward her shoulder.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Lexuan was shocked.
She never expected Tang Feng himself to charge in after binding her.
That speed was nearly comparable to teleportation—
Was he really a healing-type Soul Master?
If she hadn't personally seen him heal Bei Bei, she would have suspected Mu En's intelligence was wrong.
"So fast!"
Bei Bei blinked—
And Tang Feng, who had been dozens of meters away, was already right in front of Zhang Lexuan.
"Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Bei Bei reacted just as quickly.
With a lift of his hand, a dragon claw formed from blue-violet lightning slammed toward Zhang Lexuan's back.
Only by coordinating could they force Zhang Lexuan to summon her martial soul.
"You are still only a Soul Ancestor."
Zhang Lexuan reached out to grab the Blue Silver Battle Spear.
In her view, with her Soul Douluo cultivation,
barehandedly blocking a Soul Ancestor's ten-thousand-year soul ring shouldn't be a problem.
Whoosh—
Tang Feng suddenly accelerated.
The Blue Silver Battle Spear slid across Zhang Lexuan's palm—
and pierced into her shoulder.
Despite her unloading part of the force with her hand,
the spear still stabbed a full finger's depth into her shoulder.
"Senior Sister Lexuan is injured?!"
At the same moment—
Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw struck Zhang Lexuan's back.
Yet it caused not even the slightest ripple.
Like a pebble falling into an endless ocean—
Not even a tingling sensation appeared.
Crack!
Zhang Lexuan crushed the Blue Silver Battle Spear in her hand.
Looking at the crimson stain in her palm and the blood seeping into her red academy uniform—
Her evaluation of Tang Feng rose an entire level higher than even Mu En's.
"The senior sister was injured by a freshman?!"
"This has to be fake!"
The Inner Court disciples were utterly stunned.
Who would dare believe—
That a Soul Douluo had suffered a loss at the hands of a Soul Ancestor?
And not just a scratch—
Both her hand and shoulder were bleeding.
"There's something wrong with that kid's spear."
Someone noticed the issue.
Tang Feng's Blue Silver Battle Spear possessed not only terrifying speed—
but also extreme piercing power.
"Could it be similar to the Soul-Breaking Spear's attribute?"
Someone drew the comparison.
Even the Soul-Breaking Spear required Soul Douluo-level strength to challenge a Title Douluo.
Tang Feng was only a Soul Ancestor—
So how could he fight a Soul Douluo?
"An extremely powerful soul skill… with armor-piercing attributes."
Zhang Lexuan finally became serious.
A radiant crescent moon appeared, as if the moon itself had descended from the heavens.
Two yellow, two purple, three black, one red—
Eight soul rings rose rapidly from beneath her feet.
Under the moonlight, Zhang Lexuan's skin became crystalline and pale—
Her sickly pallor is even more pronounced.
"Bei Bei, step aside."
"I'll properly exchange blows with Senior Sister."
Tang Feng waved Bei Bei away.
With him in the arena, Bei Bei was nothing more than a burden—
destined to be crushed.
Tang Feng was about to go all out—
and had no time to worry about him.
If things went wrong, Bei Bei might even get accidentally skewered.
"Spiderweb Bind!"
Tang Feng's second soul ring lit up.
Countless strands of Blue Silver Grass wove together into a massive, resilient web, enveloping Zhang Lexuan.
"Moon Slash!"
Zhang Lexuan didn't use a soul skill.
Using the silver moon in the sky as a blade, she cleaved through the Blue Silver web.
"Blue Silver Bind!"
The moment Tang Feng spoke—
Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Zhang Lexuan's hands once more.
Tang Feng arrived in an instant, the Blue Silver Battle Spear thrusting again toward her left shoulder—
the same spot.
Whoosh—
Zhang Lexuan's first soul ring lit up.
The moon above became full and perfect, like a soul tool—
firing a beam of light.
The beam's target wasn't the Blue Silver Battle Spear—
But Tang Feng himself.
"Blue Silver Overlord Thrust!"
Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Tang Feng's waist as he activated Absolute First Strike.
He was instantly pulled dozens of meters away.
Yet at his original position—
a towering phantom remained.
The phantom gripped the Blue Silver Battle Spear—
and struck toward Zhang Lexuan in his stead.
Under the effect of Absolute First Strike—
There was no possible way for Zhang Lexuan to evade that attack.
"…Completely locked on."
Zhang Lexuan's expression shifted.
That familiar sense of danger once again enveloped her—
chilling her to the bone.
In her mind, only one thought remained:
No matter what she did—
She could not evade this Blue Silver Overlord Thrust.
