"Let's go. To the back mountain," Lin Feng said as he stood up.
Dugu Yan and the others followed in perfect step behind him.
As they passed by Yu Tianheng, not a single glance was spared in his direction. He was left alone, basking in the silent, wordless disdain.
"Damn, Lin Feng's really full of himself!"
"Yeah, it's like he doesn't even see Yu Tianheng as a threat."
Whispers rippled through the onlookers, and quite a few quietly followed after them.
Yu Tianheng could feel the scorn. Enraged, he turned and stomped after them.
On the way there, Lin Feng thought to himself—just beating him up wouldn't be enough.
"System, refresh Yu Tianheng's traits."
[Ding! Trait 'Exceptional Talent' has been refreshed.]
Lin Feng browsed through the newly generated traits with interest:
[Golden Seed (Purple)]: Your children have a high probability of surpassing your own talent.
[Outstanding Talent (Purple)]: Grants innate full soul power.
[Twin Martial Souls (Purple)]: You possess a second, randomly generated martial soul.
Damn, Golden Seed sounds hilarious… too bad I can't use it yet.
Lin Feng shook his head. He remembered when he tried modifying Wang Lei's innate soul power. The system wouldn't allow the removal of a soul power trait once it was added—at least one had to remain.
He'd hoped to replace Wang Lei's green-tier soul power trait with a white-tier one, but it had never appeared. That's when he figured:
Anyone below Rank 5 soul power isn't even qualified to have a trait.
After all, that had been his situation in the past.
That meant the lowest trait-rank for innate soul power had to start from green, or Rank 6 and up.
In the end, he could only give Wang Lei a green-tier Rank 6 trait.
And now Yu Tianheng's [Power of Lightning] had just been refreshed.
The newly refreshed trait was: [Modest Talent (Green)].
Sorry, Yu Tianheng, Lin Feng smirked, your innate soul power's getting nerfed.
Lowering innate power didn't affect current soul power, so Yu Tianheng wouldn't notice.
"System, replace 'Power of Lightning' with 'Modest Talent'; replace 'Exceptional Talent' with 'Golden Seed.'"
Try to steal my girl when I'm not around? I'll finish nerfing you first—then we'll settle the rest.
Finally, he looked at Yu Tianheng's last set of traits:
[Confidence (White)]: You maintain hope even in the worst situations.
[Longevity (White)]: You'll live to the age of ninety.
[Blunt and Brazen (White)]: You speak before you think. Good at taunting others. Sometimes, you just sound like an idiot.
Lin Feng chuckled and selected [Blunt and Brazen]—the only one with a built-in social landmine. The taunting would surely get him into trouble sooner or later.
He scratched his chin thoughtfully. Now, it was just a matter of waiting…
Sure enough, the moment they reached the back mountain—
"Lin Feng! What's wrong with your mouth—can't even say a word like a normal person?"
"You strut around with a girl in each arm like some damn prince!"
"And you, Dugu Yan! Why are you clinging to this useless trash?"
"What, you planning to share him with Ye Lingling? Three-person love triangle, huh?"
"You into that? Huh?!"
Yu Tianheng exploded, spewing words with the force of a cannon.
Dugu Yan had always seen him as a nuisance. But now, hearing this filth come out of his mouth—her anger surged.
"Yu Tianheng, shut your damn mouth!"
"Just because you're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan doesn't mean I can't teach you a lesson. My grandfather is a Titled Douluo too!"
Yu Tianheng panicked at the mention of her grandfather, but still tried to save face.
"All you do is name-drop your grandpa. Got any actual skills?"
"You want a duel? Huh? Let's go, one-on-one!"
For some reason, the words were leaving his mouth faster than his brain could keep up. He hadn't meant to go this far—he just wanted her to see Lin Feng for who he was.
But Dugu Yan was already fuming. She stepped forward, ready to attack.
Lin Feng reached out to stop her.
"Yan'er, leave this to me."
He walked forward. Three soul rings appeared at his feet—yellow, yellow, purple—the optimal configuration.
"He's a Soul Elder?!"
"Seriously? We haven't had a new student this strong in years!"
"Two Soul Elders in one batch? That's insane!"
The followers gasped in shock.
Yu Tianheng's expression darkened at the sight.
"What's the point of soul power suppression? Fight me without your third ring!"
He wanted to back down—but everyone was watching.
He couldn't lose face.
Whispers rippled again.
"Yu Tianheng really said that?"
"Lin Feng's even younger than him!"
Flushed with embarrassment, Yu Tianheng's face went red.
"Fine," Lin Feng smirked and dismissed his third ring, but kept the pressure of a Soul Elder.
"Any other rules? Hm?"
"Suppress your soul power to Rank 29. Let's make it fair."
Yu Tianheng, seeing how cooperative he was, gained some confidence.
"Yu Tianheng, how about this? I'll only use my first soul skill. If you can take it, I'll admit defeat."
Lin Feng suppressed his soul power to exactly Rank 29.
Yu Tianheng agreed immediately, thinking he had a real shot now.
"I don't think it's arrogance. He might really be that strong."
Whispers continued from the sidelines.
"Second Soul skill—Lightning Fury!"
Yu Tianheng charged in, confident and eager to crush him.
A chilling voice interrupted:
"Third Soul skill—Inferno Burst."
The air exploded with pressure. Lin Feng released his full power again, third soul ring glowing at his feet.
Yu Tianheng looked up, stunned.
Above him, a tidal wave of searing flames had already taken shape.
Before he could even shout "You broke the rules!"—
The flames crashed down, completely overpowering his lightning.
Yu Tianheng hit the ground hard, body scorched and bleeding, eyes filled with disbelief. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
Lin Feng walked up slowly.
"Yu Tianheng. Did you really think I wouldn't use my third soul skill?"
With that final insult, Yu Tianheng passed out on the spot.
Lin Feng turned and strolled away with Dugu Yan and the others, leaving the crowd frozen in stunned silence.
