Chapter 172: The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, Their Path to Death
"Pfft!"
A torrent of soul power surged from Dai Yao's palm. Yu Tianxin's throat emitted a muffled groan mixed with agony, and a spurt of blood shot out from his mouth.
As Dai Yao's hidden force erupted within him, Yu Tianxin's eyes widened in pain. His organs felt like they were being ripped apart, and his pain was excruciating. A hoarse cough escaped his throat.
His eyes still burned with unwillingness, staring fixedly at Dai Yao's indifferent face. He couldn't accept Dai Yao's words that he was inferior to Yu Tianheng.
With a sharp, explosive sound, Yu Tianxin's body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the audience's surrounding wall. The wall collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Yu Tianxin's mangled body rolled to the ground, with only faint breaths coming from his nose, which brought a sigh of relief to everyone.
What was most noticeable was the distinct dent in his chest, perfectly matching the shape of Dai Yao's fist.
In that moment, the entire arena fell into silence.
All eyes were frozen on the motionless figure lying on the ground. The faces of the many teams from various academies were filled with disbelief.
Thunderbolt Academy, Five Elements Academy, some of the strongest teams of this generation.
And the leader of their team, Yu Tianxin, who possessed the world's strongest Beast Spirit, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex. At just twenty years old, he had reached the Soul Emperor level, one of the continent's rarest geniuses. And yet, he had just been defeated by a previously unknown academy.
The crowd's gaze slowly shifted, focusing on the calm figure standing in the center of the Soul Duel Arena. In their eyes, a hint of awe could be seen.
The shocking ten-thousand-year soul ring, the ever-evolving self-created soul techniques, and the immensely powerful martial soul fusion technique. The layers of secrets Dai Yao revealed continued to elevate everyone's expectations of his strength.
However, many astute viewers were starting to worry about Dai Yao's future.
Yu Tianxin was a direct descendant of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Earlier, the elder from Thunderbolt Academy, who was clearly from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, had openly threatened Dai Yao.
Yet, Dai Yao had still ruthlessly injured Yu Tianxin. This would undoubtedly result in a grudge from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Moreover, Dai Yao's backers were not that strong. If he had powerful support, he wouldn't have ended up at the unknown Oakland Academy.
Therefore, under the threat of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Dai Yao's life was in danger.
After seeing Yu Tianxin being knocked off the stage, the Thunderbolt Academy teacher rushed into the arena, lifting the badly wounded Yu Tianxin. His heart was burning with anger as he glared at Dai Yao.
A cold gaze swept over Dai Yao, and suddenly, his Thunderbolt power erupted. He extended his hand, condensing the lightning into a ball, ready to launch it at Dai Yao. But then, he suddenly felt two terrifying pressures descending upon him.
It felt as if, the moment he unleashed his attack, he would be facing death itself.
A chill shot through his spine, forcing him to calm down.
Following the source of the pressure, he looked up and saw Ning Fengzhi and Salas coldly staring at him from the VIP stands. Only Emperor Xue Ye had a faint smile, which seemed neither happy nor mocking.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Spirit Hall… remembering these two forces made him shiver involuntarily.
Among the top three sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was much stronger than the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family. With two Title Douluo, including the continent's strongest attack-type Douluo, Sword Master Chenxin, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family was no match for them.
Not to mention the even more terrifying Spirit Hall.
Grinding his teeth in secret, he realized that his actions had already broken the rules of the competition. He looked down at Yu Tianxin, who was struggling to breathe, and then coldly turned his gaze to Dai Yao. Their eyes met in an intense stare.
His gaze froze, and he sneered inwardly before speaking with a voice like a razor's edge:
"Boy, do you know who Yu Tianxin is? He is the heir of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family. How dare you harm him?"
A faint voice entered Dai Yao's ears, as though someone were whispering in his ear, but strangely, no one was nearby.
A cold smile tugged at Dai Yao's lips. He responded in the same harsh tone:
"I clearly let him go, but instead of admitting defeat, he tried to ambush me when I wasn't paying attention. I won't tolerate such despicable behavior."
"Even if Tianxin is like this, his punishment must come from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family. It's not for a mere junior like you to decide!"
The elder's voice rumbled like thunder in Dai Yao's ears.
Dai Yao sneered. The victim here was clearly him, yet he couldn't punish the offender. The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family was truly tyrannical!
What's more, if the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family conducted their own judgment, they'd only give Tianxin a light punishment. A few words, and the matter would be swept under the rug!
As the audience observed the silent confrontation between Dai Yao and the Thunderbolt Academy teacher, many were stunned.
Some of the more perceptive viewers noticed Dai Yao and the teacher from Thunderbolt Academy exchanging words, their lips moving, and from their expressions, it was clear they were clashing verbally.
Many of them began to worry about Dai Yao's future.
After all, getting into a confrontation with the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family was an unwise move!
"Boy, don't think just because you have extraordinary talent, you can do whatever you want. There are many geniuses on this continent who haven't yet fully grown!"
Finally, the teacher from Thunderbolt Academy showed a cruel smile, his eyes filled with coldness as he stared at Dai Yao.
Then, lifting the barely alive Yu Tianxin, he motioned for the remaining Thunderbolt Academy soldiers to leave the arena, all while the audience's disdainful gaze followed them.
Nearby, Yu Tianheng, who had been watching from the sidelines, had a complicated expression on his face as he watched Thunderbolt Academy leave.
Yu Tianxin was his cousin, but his actions had been reprehensible. However, Dai Yao's unreserved and brutal injuring of Yu Tianxin made a flash of anger appear in his eyes.
His palm subconsciously clenched into a fist.
"Dai Yao, if we meet again in the Soul Duel Tournament, don't expect me to show mercy!"
As this thought flashed through his mind, he immediately turned and left. His back exuded an air of coldness.
Upon hearing this, Dai Yao's expression immediately darkened, his fist clenching involuntarily.
"The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family is indeed tyrannical, but you already have a death sentence!"
Although Dai Yao wasn't afraid of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, especially since he had the protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall, his friends did not have such a strong background.
Moreover, while Dai Yao's supporters were powerful, if the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family decided to throw all caution aside and send a Soul Douluo or even a Title Douluo to assassinate him, his life would be at risk!
As he pondered this, a cold voice sounded in his ear.
"I will always be by your side."
Turning around, he saw Zhu Zhuqing's stunning face, her tone resolute.
Dai Yao's heart warmed, and he smiled gently in response.
Soon, the members of the Oakland Team rushed over, walking while eyeing him with concern.
Feng Qianli said with some helplessness:
"Dai Yao, just hold on a little longer. Why provoke the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, such a powerful enemy?"
Dai Yuan replied, grinning:
"Dai Yao, even if you've offended the third strongest sect in the world, brother, I'll always stand by you."
"Thanks," Dai Yao replied.
Luo Feng, walking closer, expressed concern:
"Dai Yao, I don't know what you're thinking, but as a commoner Soul Master, against the immense power of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, it's probably best to apologize to them."
Dai Yao shook his head. While he understood Luo Feng's thoughts, he would not act on them.
"Apologize for what?! If it were me, facing an opponent who didn't know what was good for them, I'd make sure they became a pool of pus in no time!"
As they reached the lounge, Dugu Yan's voice, filled with killing intent, rang out.
At that moment, Dugu Yan crossed her arms, her face radiating killing intent, completely void of the usual charm and seduction she typically displayed.
Everyone awkwardly smiled in response.
After all, Dugu Yan was the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, so she naturally had the confidence to act without restraint.
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Dai Yao's heart warmed. He comforted her, "It's alright, Yan Yan."
When Dugu Yan heard this, she calmed down slightly. She reached out and draped her arm over Dai Yao's shoulder, her eyes full of affection. Her red lips parted as she spoke softly, "Little brother, you don't need to apologize to the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan. Once my soul power increases, I'll go poison them, and take revenge for you, how about that?"
Dai Yao was stunned. Sure enough, she was the seductive, deadly beauty. Though her demeanor was charming, the words that came out of her mouth caused everyone in Oakland to shudder.
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, the others in Oakland instinctively took a few steps back.
Dugu Yan turned around, her pupils narrowing into slits as she looked at Dai Yuan Yi, whose reaction was particularly exaggerated. Coldly, she asked, "What's wrong? Am I that terrifying? Or do you want to experience my poison firsthand?"
Feeling the chilling aura, Dai Yuan Yi felt as if he had fallen into the cold, snake-infested pit. Cold sweat immediately poured down his back.
Recalling the excruciating pain he endured when he once sparred with Dugu Yan and was tortured by her Green Scaled Snake Poison, his hair stood on end. He quickly waved his hands, saying, "N-no, no, Yan Jie, you're not scary at all!"
He then turned his gaze to Dai Yao, his face full of pleading.
Dai Yao helplessly patted Dugu Yan's green hair and softly said, "Alright, alright, stop teasing Dai Yuan Yi."
Dugu Yan let out a soft humph. The coldness on her face shattered like an ice mountain as she hooked her arm around Dai Yao's shoulder.
Dai Yuan Yi looked at Dugu Yan next to Dai Yao, her expression filled with infinite tenderness. He sighed, "It seems only Dai Yao can handle Yan Jie."
Meanwhile, Feng Wutong, who had remained silent, slightly closed his eyes, gently bit his lower lip, and exhaled a long breath.
Thinking about how Dai Yao had been threatened and how he had been powerless to do anything, he unconsciously clenched his fists tightly.
Today's match between Oakland and Thunder Academy was the last one.
After the match, the crowd in the Soul Arena began to disperse. After some time, two unexpected guests arrived in the Oakland lounge.
"Uncle Ning, Grandpa Salas!" Dai Yao exclaimed happily.
"Uncle Ning?"
"Grandpa Salas?"
Ning Fengzhi and Salas exchanged a glance, both sneering inwardly.
"Good old Ning Fengzhi, truly shameless. He's always been known as a gentleman, but to recruit Dai Yao, he's now using the tactic of feigning family ties!"
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi thought, "As expected of the Spirit Hall. To bind Dai Yao to their cause, they're exploiting his youth and immaturity to play the family card."
The next moment, both of them suddenly smiled warmly, as if they had changed faces.
"Greetings, Sect Master Ning, Master Salas," everyone from Oakland said respectfully, their faces filled with admiration.
"Hello, everyone from Oakland. You performed very well today," Ning Fengzhi said gently.
Salas, on the other hand, was much more aloof. Apart from speaking to Dai Yao, he remained silent.
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's praise, the members of the Oakland team became excited.
After a few simple compliments, Ning Fengzhi and Salas, almost as if in competition, turned their attention to Dai Yao.
Ning Fengzhi spoke, "Dai Yao, long time no see. I didn't expect you to have really acquired a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"
Thinking back to the painful experience of absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring, Dai Yao forced a smile and said, "It was just luck."
"Luck? If it were just luck to obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring as the fourth ring, many people would risk it! Do you know how much of a sensation your fourth soul ring has caused in the soul master world?" Ning Fengzhi said in awe.
Seeing Dai Yao's humble demeanor, Ning Fengzhi sighed inwardly.
"If I had discovered Dai Yao sooner, how much better it would have been. If he joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect along with Rong Rong, the sect could have reached a new level, even becoming the number one sect in the world!"
Suppressing his regrets, he became curious and asked, "Dai Yao, may I ask what your fourth soul skill is?"
Salas also turned his curious gaze toward Dai Yao.
Dai Yao didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look out the window at the increasingly darkening sky, and smiled. "Uncle Ning, you'll find out tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? You'll be facing the Shinfeng Academy. It seems like you'll be using your fourth soul skill then. I'm looking forward to it."
Salas frowned slightly, "Shinfeng Academy is the strongest academy in this year's Five Elements Tournament. It's far ahead of the others, even Thunder Academy is inferior. While I have high hopes for you, facing such an opponent, even with your ten-thousand-year soul ring, I don't think you can win."
"We'll see," Dai Yao replied confidently.
Hearing Dai Yao's words, Salas was momentarily stunned, then he smiled and stopped pressing the issue. Instead, he brought up another topic.
"By the way, Dai Yao, after the Soul Arena battle today, did the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan threaten you?"
Hearing this, Dai Yao's thoughts shifted, and he said, "Yes, Grandpa Salas. They told me not to rely on the Spirit Hall or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and to stop acting recklessly. They also warned me to be careful when I'm alone."
In truth, the member of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan hadn't said exactly that, but Dai Yao's embellishment fit their overbearing nature well.
Salas slammed his hand on the table in anger. "That Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan! Don't worry, Dai Yao. I'll make sure no one dares to cause you trouble."
Though Salas had some doubts about the truth of Dai Yao's words, the Spirit Hall had long been secretly hostile toward the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan. Anything detrimental to them, whether true or not, Salas would push for action.
Hearing Salas's firm words, Ning Fengzhi, though somewhat skeptical, also said, "Don't worry, Dai Yao. Even though the top three sects are interconnected, I'll make sure to warn the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan not to overstep their boundaries."
"Thank you, Uncle Ning. Thank you, Grandpa Salas." Dai Yao expressed his gratitude, inwardly sighing at the advantages of having powerful backing.
Finally, his eyes flickered slightly. "If the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan backs off, I won't hold a grudge. But if they continue to overstep, then during the Soul Hunting Plan, I'll personally visit their sect."
