Taking a deep breath, Yu Tianheng stepped out from among the Shrek students.
At this moment, he was like a volcano on the verge of eruption—especially after hearing Ma Hongjun's snide tone, his fury reached its boiling point.
As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, his pride and honor could not tolerate his woman being so close to another man.
Even though nothing had ever officially happened between him and Dugu Yan, he had long treated her as his personal possession.
Even if he couldn't marry her in the future, that was something to worry about later.
But now, seeing her getting close to someone else—he felt like he had been utterly humiliated.
Intolerable!
"Hmph!"
Yu Tianheng let out a cold snort and ignored the surrounding Shrek students as he strode directly toward Qi Lin and Dugu Yan, his gaze icy and locked on Qi Lin.
A mere support-type soul master dares to steal my woman?
He must have a death wish!
Even if everyone in Shrek hypes him up like a god—so what?
What can he do? Hit me?
I'm a direct heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. What can a commoner with no backing do against me?
"There's a good show coming!"
Ma Hongjun grinned maliciously as he watched Yu Tianheng's back.
Even Dai Mubai, whose face was still pale, felt a bit better hearing that.
After all, part of the reason he'd ended up in his current state was thanks to Qi Lin.
So seeing this situation unfold, he was understandably pleased.
Tang San, too, secretly felt a bit of satisfaction. As someone with a pure and disciplined nature, he didn't particularly enjoy seeing Qi Lin constantly surrounded by beautiful women either.
Flender caught the vibe and first shot Ma Hongjun a glare.
"You talk too much. Will you die if you stay quiet?"
"If I hear you stirring things up again, I'll beat you within an inch of your life."
Ma Hongjun shrank back at once, clearly frightened.
Flender quickly turned to Yu Xiaogang. "Xiaogang, hurry up and stop Yu Tianheng. This might just be a misunderstanding. If this escalates, it'll be impossible to control."
Yu Tianheng wasn't a student of Shrek Academy, and even Flender didn't dare treat him lightly because of his identity. Only Yu Xiaogang could intervene.
However, Yu Xiaogang merely gave a calm glance and said, "Flender, he won't listen. This is the pride of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clansman."
Flender sighed heavily.
On the other side, Qi Lin and Dugu Yan had also noticed Yu Tianheng storming toward them with anger written all over his face.
Qi Lin raised an eyebrow. "Yan, looks like Yu Tianheng misunderstood something."
Dugu Yan also noticed him. In the past, had she seen Yu Tianheng approaching like this, she might have felt a deep sense of guilt.
After all, she did have some feelings for him once.
But now…
For some reason, seeing Yu Tianheng now, her heart was completely calm.
While surprised by her own lack of emotion, a thought suddenly surfaced in her mind:
Why is this happening?
Is it because I no longer feel anything for him?
Almost instinctively, she turned to Qi Lin and said softly, "Don't worry. There's nothing between me and him."
Qi Lin chuckled. "Why would I be worried?"
Halfway there, Yu Tianheng saw the two still chatting and smiling as if he didn't exist. His anger exploded.
"Shameless couple!"
When he reached them, his face was cold as ice. He glared at Dugu Yan and demanded, "Dugu Yan, do you think this is fair to me?"
Dugu Yan frowned.
Though Yu Tianheng had always been proud, he used to carry himself like a gentleman. Compared to now, it was like night and day.
His current tone made it sound like she belonged to him.
Sure, she once had a fondness for him—but that was it. They had never even officially dated.
To put it bluntly, even if she had slept with someone else, it wouldn't be his business.
And now he was here, not asking questions, not listening to explanations, just glaring at her like she had betrayed him by merely talking to Qi Lin.
"What do you mean by that, Yu Tianheng?"
Dugu Yan wasn't about to let him push her around. Her eyes turned cold.
Yu Tianheng saw this and felt even more certain that something had happened between them. He stared at Qi Lin, eyes burning red with rage.
"Well, well…"
"You've got guts—stealing even from me, Yu Tianheng!"
He ignored Dugu Yan entirely and turned all his attention to Qi Lin.
Qi Lin wasn't intimidated. If someone was going to get in his face, he wasn't backing down.
"Stealing your girl? Aren't you two not even together?"
Yu Tianheng's expression froze—but only for a moment. Then his face twisted with rage.
"You damn bastard, still playing dumb?"
"Do you think your little bit of talent makes you untouchable? That you can ignore me? Ignore the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"Ridiculous!"
"The power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is beyond your imagination!"
He roared.
Before Qi Lin could respond, Dugu Yan cut in coldly. "Qi Lin, don't bother with him. If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan dares lay a finger on you, my grandfather won't let them off."
That sentence made the volcano inside Yu Tianheng finally erupt.
His fury surged straight to his head, and he completely lost control.
"AHHHHH!"
With eyes glowing red and chest heaving, he let out a beast-like growl.
"You shameless couple—go to hell!"
The next second, Yu Tianheng released his martial soul.
Blue-violet lightning surged around his body as his arm transformed into a dragon-scaled limb.
He punched toward Qi Lin with immense force—so fast it caused a sonic boom in the air.
Not far away, the Shrek crowd's expressions changed drastically.
"Not good!"
Flender's pupils contracted. He immediately activated his martial soul and rushed toward them at full speed.
If he didn't stop this, someone might end up seriously hurt—or worse.
He knew Qi Lin's strength.
Yu Tianheng was absolutely not a match for him.
But Flender was still one step too late.
Qi Lin stood calmly in the face of the oncoming punch, which crackled with thunderous power.
With a relaxed smile, he moved like lightning himself and met the punch head-on.
Boom!
The fists collided—and a shockwave exploded out in every direction.
Shattered blue-violet scales mixed with blood scattered through the air.
Yu Tianheng's body shot backward like a broken kite, slamming into the distance.
