Chapter 37: Battle Against the Spirit Beast

Although what Dugu Yan said was not pleasant to hear, it was the truth; Zhou Huan's current strength is indeed low.

However, if Zhou Huan were to reveal his identity, Dugu Yan's family might not necessarily compare to Zhou Huan's status.

Zhou Huan smiled and said to Dugu Yan, "No matter what Miss Dugu Yan and Miss Ye Lingling say, I will certainly have a return; let us wait and see."

After speaking, Zhou Huan said nothing more, his figure retreated slightly, and he left the side of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Just as Zhou Huan had left, a short-haired man wearing blue tight-fitting clothing leaned in beside Dugu Yan, looked at her, and said with a smile, "Yanyan, what did that guy want with you? This person doesn't look like a decent fellow; you should be careful and not interact with him often."

After the short-haired man saw Ye Lingling, he likewise greeted her with a smile before continuing to speak to Dugu Yan.

Before the short-haired man could finish his words, Dugu Yan's expression changed, and she glared at him, saying, "Yu Tianheng, I don't need you to manage my affairs. Also, you are to call me Dugu Yan from now on; the name Yanyan can only be used casually by my grandfather."

The short-haired man, who was Yu Tianheng, saw Dugu Yan's angry appearance and hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, alright, Yanyan... no, Dugu Yan, do whatever you want; I have no objections."

However, Dugu Yan had already turned her head away and no longer paid any attention to Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng hurriedly apologized and left Dugu Yan's side; after turning around, a cold glint flashed in Yu Tianheng's eyes as his gaze fell upon Zhou Huan not far away.

Watching Zhou Huan's movements as he looked around with a resentful gaze, the malice in his heart grew increasingly intense.

'This person must not be left alive!' After seeing Zhou Huan approach Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Yu Tianheng had already decided not to associate with him anymore.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are extremely important existences to him and to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family; Dugu Yan is the only granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, and if he could win her heart...

His status within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family would skyrocket, and he could also recruit a Title Douluo powerhouse for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

As for Ye Lingling, although she is only a Support-type Spirit Master, her talent is very high; as long as he can obtain Ye Lingling, he can bring a top-tier Support System Martial Soul that has the potential to be passed down to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Furthermore, the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul is not a martial soul with limitations like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but one that can be cultivated to the Title Douluo level.

If, by chance, a Title Douluo-level Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Master were to appear among his descendants...

When that time comes, once the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul appears, those Spirit Masters who want to seek treatment for themselves or their relatives, in order to be completely cured of their injuries and illnesses, would have to agree to all the demands put forward by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and obey their dictates.

In that way, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family could become the most top-tier sect among the Upper Three Sects, and even have the hope of becoming a nation-level power; thinking of this, Yu Tianheng felt his emotions stir.

Since childhood, Yu Tianheng had been instilled by his father with the philosophy of dedicating himself to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family; under the guidance of this philosophy, Yu Tianheng had also become a person who could abandon everything for the prosperity of the family (Author's personal setting, do not look at the original work).

Having obtained the convenience of being the second young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Yu Tianheng became even more unable to leave the privileges brought by this identity; in order to raise his status within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family...

Yu Tianheng absolutely would not allow Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to be attracted to others; he must obtain both of them.

Yu Tianheng restrained his gloomy mood, lowered his head, and pondered how he should deal with this opponent, Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan felt a faint sense of threat in his heart, but after scanning his surroundings, he discovered nothing, and Zhou Huan could not help but become vigilant.

"I shouldn't have this feeling for no reason; I estimate I will encounter something this time, but if it is only this slight sense of crisis, then the enemy that appears shouldn't be difficult to deal with."

Zhou Huan's thoughts flew, thinking about how to approach Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling later, and how to escape after the deed was done, among other things.

After the group had walked for a distance, a black shadow appeared silently and came behind a short boy, intending to devour him.

However, a student beside the boy saw the black shadow and let out a loud cry, shouting, "There is a Spirit Beast, Si He, get down quickly!"

After the short boy named Si He heard the warning, he hurriedly lay down.

Just as Si He lay down, he felt a cold wind blow past behind him, and a cry containing feelings of anger sounded behind him.

Si He did not stand up, but directly used his hands and feet, rolling and crawling as he ran forward; while running, he looked back, wanting to see what was attacking him from behind.

He saw a monkey-like Spirit Beast standing where he had been, its extended claws not yet retracted.

The surrounding students looked at this monkey-like Spirit Beast with serious expressions; this monkey Spirit Beast stood three meters tall, and on the monkey's body, green fur was entwined with faint wind element power.

Its four limbs were thick and powerful, and its claws flashed with sharp, cold light.

A student recognized this Spirit Beast and shouted, "It is a Wind Demon Ape; it can use wind element attacks, and it has well-developed limbs and is good at throwing; it is a very powerful Spirit Beast.

Moreover, look at its tail; it is already 1.2 meters long; it is a 1,200-year-old Spirit Beast."

Zhou Huan looked at this Wind Demon Ape and felt its aura, then shook his head; this Spirit Beast's aura was not strong, and it was definitely not his match.

The sense of crisis in his heart was not brought by this fellow.

Zhou Huan did not intend to show his combat strength just yet; he would rather observe the strength of his classmates first before deciding whether or not to take action.

Several bold students, seeing the Wind Demon Ape appear, immediately released their martial souls and began to attack.

One person's martial soul was a refined steel crossbow; his first and second Soul Rings lit up one after another, and as he injected soul power into the refined steel crossbow, the crossbow arrows that appeared were already entwined with cyan and red patterns.

The fired crossbow arrows flew straight toward the Wind Demon Ape; the cyan patterns on the arrows flashed with light, shooting toward the Wind Demon Ape at a faster speed, but the Wind Demon Ape merely dodged, evading that crossbow arrow.

The crossbow arrow flew over a distance of more than ten meters, then struck a large tree; the red patterns on the arrow flickered, and a burst of fire element power erupted, easily blowing the large tree into two sections.

The Wind Demon Ape had just dodged the crossbow arrow when it rushed out, pouncing toward the nearest student.

That student was holding a large hammer in his hand; seeing the Wind Demon Ape rushing toward him, although a flash of fear appeared in his eyes, he did not retreat; a golden light flashed over the large hammer in his hand, and the student's body immediately became stronger.

On the other side, a girl holding a scepter, standing behind the crowd, saw the boy being attacked by the Wind Demon Ape; the first Soul Ring on the scepter in her hand lit up, and a red light shot toward the boy holding the hammer.

The boy's body, which had already become strong, immediately became even stronger, his muscles bulging to the extreme.

It was immediately obvious that this was a Support-type soul skill that provided strength enhancement.

The hammer-wielding boy let out a roar, swung the large hammer, and the hammer brought with it a fierce whistling wind as it smashed toward the Wind Demon Ape.

The Wind Demon Ape saw the large hammer smashing toward it, clenched its claws into fists, and roared as it slammed them into the incoming hammer.

The fist and hammer collided, erupting with a violent sound that caused the others to cover their ears involuntarily.

There were several other students with long-range attack capabilities who, taking advantage of the moment the hammer-wielding student was fighting the Wind Demon Ape, released their soul skills and attacked the Wind Demon Ape from afar.

The Wind Demon Ape was originally confronting its opponent, but upon sensing these long-range attacks, it pushed with all its might, shoving the large hammer away from itself, and dropped its body to the ground, dodging the three incoming attacks.

However, it was hit by the remaining few long-range attacks.
