"My name is Shi Tou, and I'm from the Zhan Long clan. On Qi Ling Nebula, my entire capture team was killed. I think... it must have been you."

Feng Lei had originally intended to offer some explanation and, in passing, ask why they were hunting those Qi Spirits at this time.

But before Feng Lei could speak, Luke, ever sincere and straightforward, declared, "That's right! Feng Lei killed the squad leader. I killed the other five."

After confirming this, Shi Tou said no more, "The two of you, either come back with me now, or... face me together!"

Luke and Feng Lei exchanged a look.

Luke said, "Feng, that line sounds awfully familiar."

Feng Lei looked disgusted. "Tch! I didn't expect this guy to be as annoying as Ye Cang."

* * *

Whoosh...

Feng Lei darted forward, launching a spinning back kick at Shi Tou.

Shi Tou quickly brought his palms together, gripping Feng Lei's ankle tightly. With a sudden burst of strength, he twisted and turned, successfully deflecting the force.

Feng Lei's feet barely touched the ground before he followed up with a soaring high sweep kick.

But just as he was turning to swing his leg, before the motion could fully unfold, Shi Tou unleashed a high-position side kick, swiftly intercepting Feng Lei's still-forming attack.

Bang!

Feng Lei took the full force of the kick, landing on his rear, clutching his stomach, and sliding backward three or four meters.

Luke walked over to Feng Lei, squatted down, and asked, "Friend, are you alright? If not, let me try."

The ever-proud Feng Lei, who never lowered his head to anyone, would never admit defeat.

Feng Lei stood up, speaking slowly, "Friend... it's too early to talk about winning or losing."

"Hah!" Feng Lei roared, arcs of lightning crackling around him, the air filled with the sound of snapping electricity.

Swoosh!

Feng Lei immediately unleashed a side kick, aimed at Shi Tou's central line. "This kick, I'm returning it to you!"

Shi Tou knew that this kick was infused with the power of lightning and would be devastating. He thought, "I can't lose to a mere Jumper!"

Immediately, Shi Tou adopted a counter-attacking stance, fists and feet ready. His left foot stepped back along his center line, legs slightly bent, right arm cocked, ready to unleash a punch!

Bang!

The lightning-infused kick collided squarely with Shi Tou's fist.

Hiss...

Shi Tou's body slid backward rapidly. Fearing that Feng Lei would pursue him and exploit an opening, he immediately crossed his arms in defense, sliding back four or five meters before regaining his balance.

Shi Tou stared at Feng Lei with a peculiar expression. "I didn't expect that a mere human could wield the power of lightning, unique to the Dragon clan. Who exactly are you?"

Feng Lei spoke clearly and without hesitation, "My name is Feng Lei. I am the coffin child, born from a coffin after my mother died."

"Oh... so you're just a pathetic coffin child who lost his mother." Shi Tou's words dripped with icy mockery.

Hearing this, Luke felt a surge of anger. "It is said that the Dragon clan is noble, that no living thing can enter the Dragon people's eyes. Be it a coffin child or an ordinary person, before these dragons, they are no more than humble ants."

At that very moment, Luke and Feng Lei simultaneously voiced the exact same sentiment in their hearts and with their mouths.

These words carried the unyielding will, the unwavering determination, and the indomitable spirit of three men.

"We may lose! But... we will never back down!"

In an instant! Feng Lei put his entire body into a full-speed charge, striking like a spear.

In the blink of an eye, he had already penetrated Shi Tou's inner circle. "Spear Charge!"

Boom!

Feng Lei's Spear Charge, a full-speed sprint using his shoulder to strike his opponent, was like a thrusting spear.

Shi Tou, caught off guard by the speed and thunderous impact, felt as though he'd been bent backward to his breaking point. His chin pressed against his chest, his legs splayed, and pain wracked his body, contorting his face.

Shi Tou, struck by the Spear Charge, was like someone hit by an out-of-control car. He spun uncontrollably clockwise 180 degrees, his back slamming into the ground first.

Bang! Another loud crash, and the earth trembled.

As Shi Tou's back hit the ground, the earth seemed to explode, throwing him back into the air before he landed face up on the ground.

Luke thought, "Is it... over?"

Before he could finish the thought, Shi Tou, clutching his stomach, forced himself to his feet.

He thought, "This pain in my stomach... it's really unbearable..."

Feng Lei remained silent, still looking at Shi Tou with an arrogant and untamed expression.

With that exchange of blows, Shi Tou understood that Feng Lei was returning the favor.

"Your main power is lightning, right?" Shi Tou asked.

"That's right. Ever since I became a Jumper, the power of lightning has been with me," Feng Lei replied firmly.

"I see... I thought you were some Dragon clan bastard. Since you're not a descendant of our Dragon clan, I have no reason to hold back against you!" At that moment, Shi Tou's killing intent became palpable.

"I couldn't ask for more than for you to show me your true strength!" Feng Lei replied calmly.

After that brief exchange, the pain in Shi Tou's abdomen seemed less intense.

"Jumper, do you know... that while the power of lightning is indeed strong, there is a principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint between all things in heaven and earth?"

"Just as water can extinguish fire, fire can melt gold or steel, and steel, after being polished and forged, can cut down towering trees."

"And the earth, which carries all things with virtue, can be broken through by a tiny seed. The principle behind this is the law upon which all things in the universe rely."

"Therefore... the power that your lightning fears the most is the power of wind!"

"Judging from your current combat form, you only possess the power of lightning. Even if you mastered the Lei Xi Dragon God's Lei Xi power, you still might not be able to defeat my Yu Feng power."

Hearing this, Luke immediately became worried about Feng Lei.

He thought, "How could misfortune strike like this! There are many elements in the universe, and among them, there is always a relationship of mutual generation and mutual restraint."

"And this law of mutual generation and mutual restraint is the law that existed from the beginning of the universe, an unshakable law!"

"The wind element restrains the lightning element, and that is a fact we cannot change! No matter how strong the lightning attribute power is, the wind element will accept it all, absorbing the power of lightning and becoming even more violent."

Luke shouted anxiously to Feng Lei, "Feng Lei, why don't you leave this battle to me!"

How could the ever-proud and untamed Feng Lei be so timid!

What if he was in a disadvantageous situation? What if he was suppressed by the wind element?

Born in a coffin, he had been scorned and ostracized since he was a child.

They scorned him for being a coffin child, hated him for being born as a disaster, as an incarnation of misfortune.

Everything Feng Lei had encountered and endured along the way had been more intense than what Luke and Ye Cang had faced.

He had stared into the abyss, and the abyss had stared back at Feng Lei.

He was a man who had emerged from the stinking soil by his own strength.

Even if he was covered in mud and struggling, he still chose to move forward bravely. He was a proud man who would never give up!

Feng Lei knew that Luke was worried about him, but...

Feng Lei in adversity had never been timid, and he would never choose to escape!

So, Feng Lei turned to Luke and roared, "Shut your mouth! Stand there and watch carefully! I will not lose!"
