Then, a red light flashed in the tail hook, and with a boom, a crimson lava blast shot straight toward Yu Tianheng like a cannonball.
"External Soul Bone Skill: Magma Earth Shattering Strike!"
The Earth King's Magma Strike has two effects. The first is to release a fiery red, distorted light that forces enemies into a state of stun, followed by a lava impact that kills the enemies!
As the roaring lava surged towards him, Yu Tianheng felt a moment of disorientation. By the time he regained his senses, the scorching pillar of fire had already struck him heavily.
"Ugh!!!"
Yu Tianheng let out a heart-wrenching wail, and then flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing off the stage and being completely eliminated.
Because Ling Yun controlled the power of the Soul Bone skill, Yu Tianheng was not seriously injured.
After all, this was just a friendly spar, and Ling Yun didn't want anyone to die. Besides, if he really killed Yu Tianheng, he would be the one in trouble.
After eliminating Yu Tianheng, Ling Yun charged towards Dugu Yan at full speed. The scorching flames ignited the arena, turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire, while Dugu Yan remained unharmed.
Ling Yun stood behind Dugu Yan and laughed, "Your companions have all been eliminated. Do you want to admit defeat yourself, or should I throw you out?"
"..."
Dugu Yan was speechless for a moment. She knew that Ling Yun had already shown mercy, otherwise it wouldn't be the arena that was burning now, but her own flesh and blood.
Thinking of this, Dugu Yan said helplessly, "I concede defeat. You have won this match!"
After saying that, Dugu Yan leaped off the stage, and at the same time, the host announced the result of the match.
"I now declare that the winners of this match are the Five Spirit Kings, the Hokage, and the One-Horned Tyrannosaurus!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, a thunderous cheer erupted from the audience, who shouted the names of Ling Yun and his two companions. Ling Yun and the others walked off the stage with excited expressions.
Huo Wushuang exclaimed excitedly, "We're too strong now! We can even defeat the top students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"What's there to be proud of in defeating someone from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Huo Wu shook her head, her face showing no excitement or joy, and spoke calmly.
"Brother, you know perfectly well that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is full of spoiled brats. In previous Soul Master Competitions, our Blazing Fire Academy often defeated them. What's there to be happy about?"
To be honest, these three are indeed very strong; even among the top students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they should be among the best.
"Ahem, although you won this match, don't get too cocky!"
As the three were talking, Yu Tianheng suddenly walked over in a disheveled state, followed by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. All three of them looked disheveled.
Yu Tianheng pointed at Ling Yun and said coldly, "When I become stronger, I will come back to challenge you again!"
"No problem. However, those who fall to my hand are never considered my opponents. I'll give you time to surpass me, until you can no longer see me!"

Arrogant! Extremely arrogant!
This was the shared thought in the minds of everyone present after hearing Ling Yun's words.
But why is this kid kind of handsome? Huo Wu thought to herself.
At the same time, Dugu Yan bowed slightly and thanked her sincerely, saying, "Thank you for showing mercy just now, otherwise I would probably be seriously injured by now."
As she spoke, Dugu Yan inadvertently glanced at Yu Tianheng, whose face was covered in soot and whose upper clothes were burned to ashes.
If Ling Yun hadn't shown her mercy, she probably would have suffered the same fate as Yu Tianheng. It would have been better if she had only endured some physical pain.
But if her clothes were burned to ashes in public, she would never be able to face anyone again.
Ling Yun shrugged and said nonchalantly, "You're welcome. After all, this is just a friendly spar; there's no need to cause any deaths."
"I just heard you talking about the Soul Master Competition. Are you also going to participate in the Soul Master Competition two years from now?"
Yu Tianheng looked at Huo Wu and asked her questions, then raised his hand and pointed at Ling Yun, continuing, "Including this brat."
"That's right, we all plan to participate in the Soul Master Competition two years from now."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng immediately raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes revealing a fervent fighting spirit, and excitedly laughed, "Hehe, that's great! In the finals, I will definitely avenge my defeat and crush your Blazing Fire Academy."
Seeing Yu Tianheng's arrogant and conceited manner, Huo Wushuang's temper flared up immediately. He snorted coldly, "You've got quite the big mouth. Come on then, the final victory will definitely belong to us. You'd better work hard, or you'll be eliminated in the preliminary rounds."
"Heh, you don't need to worry about that." Yu Tianheng raised the corners of his mouth. "We are the seeded team of Tiandou Royal Academy, and we can directly participate in the finals. On the contrary, you should be careful not to be eliminated by other teams in the preliminary rounds, hahaha!"
"This guy is really annoying..."
Seeing Huo Wushuang and Yu Tianheng, these two brutes, bickering with each other, the others on both sides shook their heads helplessly.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Ling Yun suddenly looked at Dugu Yan and asked with feigned confusion, "Speaking of which, Miss Dugu, I've wanted to ask you this for a while now, are your eyes... naturally green?"
"No, when I was little, I had brown eyes just like you, but after I awakened my martial soul, my pupils slowly turned blue-green."
Dugu Yan replied somewhat dejectedly, as she couldn't help but recall her childhood. She remembered being quite popular as a child and having many good friends.
Unfortunately, ever since she awakened her martial soul and gained a pair of eyes like a venomous snake, her friends have gradually distanced themselves from her out of fear.
Even now, the only people she can call her friends are her classmates from the Royal Fighting Team.
Ling Yun was unaware of Dugu Yan's thoughts, but he subtly reminded her, "Miss Dugu, have you ever considered that... you might be poisoned? That's why your eyes are slowly turning green."
"Poisoning? That can't be right!"
Dugu Yan said with a smile, "My martial soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, which is the best among poison-attribute martial souls. My grandfather is the famous Poison Douluo. In this world, I am the only one who can poison others. No one else can poison me."
As she spoke, Dugu Yan pointed to her eyes and laughed, "As for my eyes, I asked my grandfather about them when I was a child. He told me that it was the result of a mutation in my martial soul."
During the awakening of my martial spirit, due to some unexpected circumstances, my eyes turned green. My whole family is like that—my dad, my mom, and my grandpa—our eyes are all green.
"..."
After Dugu Yan finished speaking, not only Ling Yun, but even Huo Wu and Ye Lingling sensed something was wrong.
Huo Wu murmured to herself, "Soul mutation is an extremely rare occurrence. It's impossible for the souls of all four members of a family to mutate, right? And all of them have turned green eyes..."
Ye Lingling also analyzed, resting her chin on her hand: "Generally speaking, martial soul mutations are innate, and acquired mutations are extremely rare."
"Yanyan, you just said your eyes gradually turned green after you awakened your martial soul. This looks like your martial soul is eroding your body. And since your martial soul is the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, it's hard to guarantee that the Azure Phosphorous Serpent venom won't affect you."
"Hey, don't scare me!" Dugu Yan said with a bitter expression, "It's just that my eyes have turned green. Your imaginations are too vivid!"
"No matter what, Miss Dugu, you should still get checked out. It wouldn't be good if it affected your health."
Ling Yun gave a timely reminder, then looked at the setting sun and slowly bid farewell to the three of them.
"Alright, it's getting late, we should head back. Hopefully we'll meet again at the Soul Master Competition, and then we'll have a final battle!"
"No problem!" Yu Tianheng's fighting spirit soared, and he pointed at Ling Yun provocatively, "I will definitely beat you then."
"Then you should try your best."
After saying this, Ling Yun left the Great Soul Arena with Huo Wu and her brother, and returned to Blazing Fire Academy by carriage.
On the way back, Ling Yun looked at the sunset on the horizon and thought to himself: I have already reminded Dugu Yan. Whether I can meet Dugu Bo next depends on fate.
……
After Ling Yun left, Yu Tianheng and the other two said goodbye to each other and went back to their respective homes.
Dugu Yan immediately returned to her residence. As soon as she entered, she saw an elderly man with white hair sitting in the hall, happily drinking tea, looking very content.
And this old man was his grandfather, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Upon seeing Dugu Yan return, Dugu Bo couldn't help but smile and say, "Is Yanyan back? Go wash your hands quickly, dinner will be ready soon."
"I got it, Grandpa."
As Dugu Yan entered the hall, thinking about what Ling Yun had just said, as well as Huo Wu and Ye Lingling's analysis, she couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"Grandpa, you said my eyes turned green, is it because I've been poisoned?"
puff! ! !
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo, who was drinking tea, suddenly spat out the tea in his mouth, startling Dugu Yan, who hurriedly asked.
"What's wrong, Grandpa? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
At this moment, a bold idea suddenly popped into Dugu Yan's mind: Could she be right?
"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that I'm a little curious, why would you ask that?"
"Today I fought a Soul Master named Ling Yun. After it was over, he suddenly asked why my eyes were green, and then said that I might have been poisoned..."
Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo the whole story, and Dugu Bo was also surprised when he learned that Ling Yun's second soul ring had reached the thousand-year level.
What surprised him most was that Ling Yun actually guessed that Dugu Yan might be poisoned just by looking at her green eyes.
Although Dugu Bo thought that Ling Yun was probably just lucky and guessed correctly by chance, even so, such observation and insight were worthy of the title of genius.
Chapter 34 Dugu Yan's Disappointment, Ling Yun's Solution
"Grandpa, judging from your reaction just now, could it be that Ling Yun guessed right? Am I really poisoned?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh helplessly. After taking a sip of tea, he said with a sigh, "Yanyan, you've grown up now. It's time to tell you the truth about our family."
In your opinion, our family's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is the strongest poison-attribute Martial Soul in the world, right?
"That's right!"
Dugu Yan nodded. Dugu Bo had told her this since she was a child, and she had always believed it.
Since she awakened her martial soul, she has seen many poison soul masters over the years, but none of their martial souls can compare to her Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
“Our family’s Azure Phosphorus Serpent Martial Soul is indeed very strong, but it has a fatal weakness.”
At this point, Dugu Bo suddenly looked up, stared into Dugu Yan's eyes, and said word by word, "That is because the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake is too potent, and as one's cultivation level increases, the venom's potency will further increase."
One day, the potent snake venom will overflow from our martial spirit and erode our bodies. The first sign of this will be that our eyes will slowly turn green.
Starting from the eyes, the snake venom continues to erode our meridians, bones, internal organs, and even the brain.
And in the end, we will die suddenly from the effects of the deadly venom. Your father and mother lost their lives because their bodies couldn't withstand the extremely potent snake venom.
"What? My parents died like this?"
Dugu Yan stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief. She had always thought that her parents' deaths were an accident, but she never expected that the truth was like this.
"Yes."
Dugu Bo nodded slightly, and then continued, "As I became a Title Douluo, the snake venom in my body also increased and began to erode my internal organs."
If it weren't for my profound soul power, and the fact that I happened to find a treasure land where I could temporarily suppress the snake venom in my body with the help of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, I would probably have died from the poison.
