Yu Tianheng hailed from the prestigious Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects. His noble lineage had instilled in him a deeply arrogant demeanor. With innate soul power at level eight, he had reached the rank of Soul Elder by the age of twenty. His remarkable progress gave him plenty of reason to be proud.
With a top-tier martial soul and unmatched talent among his peers, Yu Tianheng felt invincible. He believed that even if Dugu Yan's man was a genius, he couldn't possibly outshine him. Yu Tianheng was confident that defeating this man would prove his worth to Dugu Yan.
Seeing Dugu Yan agree to his challenge, Yu Tianheng's excitement grew. He planned to provoke Dugu Yan's man into a fight, sure that he would emerge victorious. Once he defeated him, Dugu Yan would recognize his superiority and choose him instead. This was Yu Tianheng's plan.
In a hotel room, Su Bai had just finished a passionate encounter with Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu when he received Dugu Yan's message.
Both Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, as captains of their respective teams, had also arrived in Spirit City for the finals.
"You two rest well. I need to go out for a bit," Su Bai instructed before leaving. The two women, exhausted from their previous activities, simply waved him off, too tired to care.
According to Dugu Yan's message, a man named Yu Tianheng intended to teach Su Bai a lesson and even coveted his woman. This was something Su Bai couldn't tolerate. As the overlord of the Star Dou Forest and the master of the Dragon God Hall, his dignity was not to be challenged, especially not by someone eyeing his woman.
With this in mind, he made his way to the resting area of the Heaven Dou team.
"Who dares to bully my Yan Yan?" Su Bai's voice rang out, immediately catching everyone's attention. Dugu Yan was the first to react, running over and naturally clinging to his arm, her ample bosom pressing against him.
Enjoying the soft sensation, Su Bai looked over at the center of the room where Yu Tianheng stood.
"So, you're Yu Tianheng? The one who wants to teach me a lesson?" Su Bai asked, his tone calm.
The members of the Heaven Dou team scrutinized Su Bai, curious about the man who had captured the heart of their proud Dugu Yan. They found him to be extraordinarily handsome and exuding a unique charisma. Despite his young age, he gave off an aura of strength.
Upon seeing Su Bai, Yu Tianheng's eyes turned red with rage. "So, you're the scoundrel who stole my Yan?"
To Yu Tianheng, Su Bai was merely a pretty face, unworthy of Dugu Yan. In Douluo Continent, strength was what mattered, and Yu Tianheng was determined to prove his superiority.
"Do you want to die, Yu Tianheng?" Dugu Yan's temper flared at the insult towards Su Bai, but Su Bai held her back.
"Let the men handle this," Su Bai said with a smile. Dugu Yan, though still angry, nodded and stepped behind him, displaying a rare moment of submission that shocked her teammates.
"Looking for death!" Yu Tianheng roared, his martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, enveloping him as four soul rings—two yellow and two purple—appeared. He released a dragon roar, trying to intimidate Su Bai.
Yu Tianheng expected Su Bai to be scared, but Su Bai remained indifferent, not even summoning his martial soul. This perceived indifference further infuriated Yu Tianheng, who then attacked in a rage.
With his dragon claws, Yu Tianheng swiftly closed the distance, aiming a strike at Su Bai. He believed his speed would catch Su Bai off guard, but in the next instant, a resounding slap echoed through the room as Yu Tianheng was sent flying, crashing into a wall.
Yu Tianheng stared at Su Bai in shock, ignoring the pain from his injuries. The Heaven Dou team members were equally stunned. Su Bai had defeated Yu Tianheng with a single slap, without even using his martial soul. This was a display of terrifying power.
"What's going on here?" A middle-aged man, the team's leader and a Soul Saint, entered the room, alarmed by the scene. Seeing Yu Tianheng injured, he was furious.
"Teacher, someone attacked a member of our team. Please, help me take him down!" Yu Tianheng pleaded.
The leader, outraged, was about to intervene when Su Bai released his aura, suffocating the Soul Saint with its intensity. Realizing he was facing a Titled Douluo, the leader paled and quickly retreated.
Yu Tianheng, now utterly humiliated, could do nothing but lie there, seeking help from Ye Lingling. "Lingling, please heal me."
But Ye Lingling turned away, ignoring him, which only deepened Yu Tianheng's despair.
Su Bai addressed the group, "With such weak strength, you think Yu Tianheng should be the captain of the Heaven Dou team? How laughable. I propose that my Yan Yan take over as captain. Any objections?"
The team members, fearing Su Bai's power, quickly shook their heads. None dared to oppose him after seeing Yu Tianheng's fate.
Watching Dugu Yan leave, Yu Tianheng's heart was filled with anguish. "Yan, don't leave, Yan!"
