Chapter 216: Surrender? The Evil and Mad Yu Xiaogang!
Just then, the referee's emotionless voice rang out again:
"Shrek Academy, Tai Long lost! Please send out the next contestant, Yu Tianheng!"
His name called, Yu Tianheng finally snapped out of his reverie about the Golden Dragon bloodline.
"My turn."
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, his eyes sharpening again. He muttered something under his breath, no longer hesitating. He pushed off slightly with his feet, his figure flashing, leaving a faint whooshing sound.
The next moment, Yu Tianheng appeared steadily on the arena, facing Xiao Ruier across the stage.
"Let's begin."
Xiao Ruier still stood proudly in the center, looking at Yu Tianheng on the stage. She didn't waste any words, speaking in a deep voice.
"Hmph!"
Yu Tianheng snorted coldly upon hearing this. Although his opponent was a woman, the strength she had displayed in instantly killing Tai Long was something he dared not underestimate.
Moreover, the two had fought back at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
At that time, Yu Tianheng's soul power was only level 39, but now it had reached level 42. He believed that even if he lost, he wouldn't lose too badly.
He stomped his foot hard on the ground, and the hard ground seemed to tremble slightly!
Immediately afterward, two yellow and two purple soul rings, four perfectly matched rings, instantly spiraled upward from beneath Yu Tianheng's feet, emitting a powerful soul power fluctuation!
At the same time, a dazzling blue light, like lightning, suddenly shone from between his eyebrows and then rapidly spread throughout his body!
"Crackling!"
The next second, a series of ear-piercing crackling electrical explosions suddenly rang out on the arena!
Countless blue-purple electric snakes surged wildly from Yu Tianheng's body, coiling and surging! His body began to expand and deform in the electric light, his skin covered with a layer of fine blue scales, and two small bumps even appeared on his forehead.
The most significant change was in his arms.
Muscles bulged and bulged, covered with a thick layer of powerful blue dragon scales. His five fingers transformed into incredibly sharp dragon claws—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit was instantly fully activated!
Just as the referee loudly announced the start of the match, Xiao Ruier moved!
Without any warning, she transformed into a golden cannonball, the stone slabs cracking slightly where she struck!
Her speed was extreme, leaving only a faint golden afterimage.
Carrying an unstoppable, terrifying aura of destruction, she charged fiercely towards Yu Tianheng, who had just completed his Spirit activation!
This wasn't a soul skill, but a pure, extreme explosion of physical strength and speed!
Yet its power was even more terrifying than many offensive soul skills!
In the blink of an eye, a massive golden fist arrived before Yu Tianheng.
Instantly, he felt a fierce wind rush towards him, and golden light flashed before his eyes!
"What? How can she be so fast? I remember the information said she was a power-attack type Soul Master, how can she be faster than an agility-attack type?"
In a flash, Yu Tianheng's first and second Soul Rings shone brightly!
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
"Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Might!"
After unleashing Thunderous Might, the blue-purple electric snakes swirling around him instantly became several times thicker, like violent lightning whips, lashing the surrounding air and emitting deafening thunderous sounds, greatly enhancing his attack power and the paralyzing effect of the lightning!
At the same time, on his fully dragon-transformed claws, lightning was highly concentrated, as if it had transformed into two solid blue lightning balls, the sharp claw blades wrapped in dazzling electric light, carrying an aura of tearing everything apart!
"Take this!"
Facing Xiao Ruier, who charged like a golden meteor, Yu Tianheng let out a low roar like a dragon's cry. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his dragon claw, covered in violent lightning, tearing through the air and carrying countless bolts of lightning, precisely and ruthlessly grabbing towards Xiao Ruier's fist!
He attempted to use the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's extremely strong close combat ability and the paralyzing properties of lightning to forcibly suppress the opponent's momentum!
Watching the dragon claw tearing through the air and wrapped in violent lightning as it grabbed towards her, Xiao Ruier's lips curled into a cold smile, a sneer of absolute confidence in her own power.
She neither dodged nor evaded, her forward momentum increasing rather than decreasing!
Just as the lightning dragon claw was about to strike, the deep purple third soul ring on Xiao Ruier's body lit up!
"Third Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Fist!"
A deep dragon's roar suddenly resounded from within her!
And then, on Xiao Ruier's outstretched right fist...
A blinding golden light instantly condensed and compressed, finally forming a lifelike, glaring, and imposing golden dragon head phantom, radiating supreme majesty and pure power!
The next second, the dragon head opened its massive maw, as if to devour everything, and then, with an overwhelming will to crush mountains and rivers, it fiercely met Yu Tianheng's thunderous dragon claw!
Boom—!!!
Dragon fist and dragon claw, gold and blue, two equally domineering yet vastly different forces, collided violently in the center of the arena!
Instantly, a deafening roar resounded from the arena!
Then, a violent energy shockwave spread out like a tangible entity, causing the protective light shields at the edge of the arena to ripple violently!
However, the result of the collision was one-sided!
The seemingly raging blue lightning, upon encountering the perfectly condensed golden dragon head phantom, was like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, emitting a hissing wail. It was instantly melted and annihilated by the latter, unable to penetrate the golden light in the slightest!
Then, crack!
A crisp, chilling sound of bone cracking echoed clearly throughout the entire arena!
In Yu Tianheng's incredulous and agonizing gaze, his dragon claw, covered in hard dragon scales and imbued with lightning power, bent sharply backward at an unnatural angle the instant it made contact with the golden dragon fist!
At this moment, his hand was not only dislocated, but his arm bone was broken!
"Ah!"
A piercing pain instantly swept through Yu Tianheng's entire body. He screamed in agony, his face turning deathly pale, and beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
He was reduced to this state by a single move, a single punch!
The intense humiliation and excruciating pain stimulated Yu Tianheng's nerves, and a flash of madness appeared in his eyes! As the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he could not afford to be defeated so humiliatingly!
"Roar—!"
Enduring the pain of his severed arm, Yu Tianheng let out a roar of unwillingness, and the equally deep purple third spirit ring on his body erupted with a dazzling purple light!
"Third Spirit Skill, Thunderous Fury!"
He completely abandoned defense, pouring all his spirit power and rage into this spirit skill!
The lightning around his body, which had been somewhat dissipating, surged again, its color becoming even deeper, as if it had transformed into liquid lightning! His aura became extremely unstable and full of destructive power at this moment, attempting a final desperate gamble with his strongest burst of power.
Thunderous Fury, effect: For a certain period of time, puts the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master into a berserk state, increasing lightning power by 100% and spirit power by 50%.
If he does not voluntarily stop the skill, it will continue until his spirit power is exhausted.
At the same time, just as Yu Tianheng forcibly activated Thunderous Fury, his body surging with lightning and his aura becoming violent and unstable, his deep purple fourth soul ring also lit up with a dazzling purple light!
He knew that the amplification from Thunderous Fury alone would probably still be insufficient to withstand the opponent's terrifying Golden Dragon Fist; he had to use his strongest attack soul skill!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Swiftness!"
Yu Tianheng endured the excruciating pain of his broken right arm and swung his remaining left hand forward with a mighty swing!
Instantly, the surging thunderous soul power within his body burst forth like a flood!
"Roar—!"
Another high-pitched dragon roar resounded!
A lightning dragon composed entirely of highly compressed and condensed blue-purple lightning condensed and took shape in front of Yu Tianheng's dragon claw, then, with destructive speed and ferocity, pounced towards Xiao Ruier, who was right in front of him, like an arrow released from a bow!
Wherever it passed, the air was scorched by electricity, leaving a faint smell of burning.
This was Yu Tianheng's strongest single-target attack soul skill to date, a desperate strike!
Facing Yu Tianheng's all-out counterattack, Xiao Ruier's eyes remained calm, even carrying a hint of indifference, and she didn't even use a stronger soul skill.
Her first and second yellow soul rings lit up simultaneously!
"First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Body!"
"Second Soul Skill, Dragon's Power!"
Two amplifying soul skills instantly empowered her!
Xiao Ruier's body seemed to grow taller, golden light faintly flowing beneath her skin, her aura surging once more, the pure power almost tangible!
Facing the roaring blue electric dragon, she neither retreated nor dodged, delivering a simple and direct punch!
The next second, that fist, still powerful and heavy, seemingly capable of shattering mountains, wrapped in dense golden light, fiercely met the raging lightning dragon!
Boom—!
The golden fist and the blue electric dragon collided instantly!
However, the result was exactly the same as before, even more decisive!
The blue electric dragon, imbued with all of Yu Tianheng's soul power, couldn't even withstand a second of contact with the golden fist, which contained ultimate power and dragon might.
It instantly shattered and vanished like a bubble, dissipating into countless scattered bolts of electricity, offering no resistance whatsoever!
Xiao Ruier's fist, however, continued its momentum, easily piercing through the dissipating lightning and, illuminated by the lightning, landing solidly on Yu Tianheng's unprotected chest!
"Boom—!!!"
Another deafening roar echoed across the arena!
"Ah—"
Yu Tianheng screamed again, his pupils dilating instantly.
He felt an irresistible force penetrate his body, his ribcage groaning under the unbearable pressure, his internal organs feeling as if they had shifted!
The next second, Yu Tianheng was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, his body tracing a pathetic arc in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground outside the arena, kicking up a cloud of dust. He instantly lost consciousness.
"Next."
On the arena, Xiao Ruier slowly withdrew her fist, her golden light receding, her gaze calmly fixed on the Shrek Academy's preparation area. Her slightly provocative voice rang out again.
"Tianheng! No—! You bastards from Tianxing Academy, you just wait!"
Watching Yu Tianheng being blasted away by Xiao Ruier's devastating punch, Grandmaster felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his heart breaking with rage. He couldn't help but let out a piercing scream.
Yu Tianheng wasn't just a member of Shrek Academy; he was also his nephew from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family!
Seeing the latter suffer such a severe injury, Grandmaster's heart bled.
Immediately, he whirled around, grabbed Flander's arm, his fingers trembling violently with excitement, and exclaimed,
"No! We can't keep fighting like this!"
"I know! I understand! Those bastards from Tianxing Academy!"
"They never had good intentions from the start! This arrangement is to cripple and damage all our people in the first match! To render us incapable of fighting! That way, Shrek Academy won't be able to participate in the later matches!"
Hearing this, Flander instinctively asked,
"Xiaogang, then... then what do we do next?"
"Admit defeat!" Grandmaster practically roared out these two words, his emotions running high,
"Admit defeat immediately! Admit defeat now, and we can preserve our strength! Let Mubai and Ma Hongjun avoid unnecessary injuries! Only then will we have a chance to defeat our later opponents and gain points!"
Before Flander could say anything more, Grandmaster shoved him aside, rushed forward, and shouted hoarsely at the equally astonished referee in the center of the arena:
"Referee! In today's qualifying match between Shrek Academy and Tianxing Academy, we... concede! We concede!"
Upon hearing this, the Tianxing Academy team remained calm, as if they had expected it.
The other teams watching cast complex and varied glances—some disdainful, some sympathetic, and most simply accepting.
No one had anticipated that Shrek Academy's first qualifying match would end so hastily and embarrassingly.
...
A few minutes later, in Shrek Academy's preparation hall, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Grandmaster carefully helped Yu Tianheng to a chair, looking at the horrific, dented wound on his chest. His voice trembled slightly as he asked,
"Tianheng, are you...are you alright?"
Yu Tianheng's face was ashen, and he struggled to breathe, but he forced himself to shake his head, enduring the excruciating pain. "I'm fine, Uncle, I...I won't die."
He took a deep breath, seemingly gathering his strength, then a strange glint flashed in his eyes, and his tone became somewhat eerie as he said,
"Uncle, there's something...I want to tell you."
Grandmaster frowned slightly, puzzled. "What is it?"
"Uncle, as far as I know, Xiao Ruier, who defeated me, has a Golden Dragon spirit!" Yu Tianheng lowered his voice, his voice weak yet filled with an indescribable excitement.
"The Golden Dragon is hailed as the progenitor of power, belonging to the most supreme dragon spirit!"
"As you know, many elders in our family have been dedicated to researching various dragon spirits, hoping to find a way to further advance the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline..."
"You say, if we relay the news of the Golden Dragon spirit's appearance to the family...?"
Yu Tianheng's words were like a boulder thrown into the already twisted lake of despair and resentment in Grandmaster Yu's heart!
Instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, a flash of astonishment crossing his eyes.
Then, a light mixed with greed, madness, and extreme desire blazed wildly within him like a wildfire!
At this moment, Grandmaster Yu remembered Luo Sanpao, drained of his bloodline and utterly filthy! He remembered the pain of his lifelong pursuit of spirit evolution, only to suffer a crushing defeat!
He remembered his current state, neither human nor ghost!
The Golden Dragon!
The progenitor of power! A supreme dragon bloodline!
Immediately following, an extremely evil and audacious thought arose.
Like an uncontrolled tumor, it surfaced in Grandmaster's mind, then began to expand rapidly, driving him completely mad.
"The Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline within me was extracted by the people of Tianxing Academy."
"But if... if I could obtain this Golden Dragon bloodline?!"
"Then, would my Spirit, Luo Sanpao, still have a chance..."
