Chapter 212: Overwhelming Pressure, Dizziness Control
The 7 members of Elephant Armor Academy formed a wall of flesh and pressed forward, step by heavy step. Yu Tianlin did not retreat even an inch. He strode straight toward them, meeting that suffocating pressure head on.
When the distance between both sides closed to about 10 meters, the situation suddenly changed.
The 3rd Spirit Rings of the 4 Spirit Elders lit up at the same time. Their mountainlike bodies surged into the air, wrapped in dazzling purple light. Locked onto Yu Tianlin, they came crashing down like 4 falling boulders.
Suppression Kill was the Elephant Armor Sect's 3rd Spirit Skill, refined through years of experimentation and designed to maximize the strengths of their Martial Soul.
Once activated, it could lock onto a target and make dodging nearly impossible, forcing the opponent to block head on. Clan disciples were naturally heavy to begin with. When that weight was combined with their Spirit Power and the Suppression effect, even a strength type Spirit Ancestor would struggle to endure it.
This Spirit Skill had only 1 weakness: range.
It could only be used effectively when the opponent was within 10 meters.
That was why the best way to deal with Elephant Armor Academy was to kite them from a distance. A direct charge like Yu Tianlin's was practically walking into their killing zone.
Unfortunately for them, Yu Tianlin already knew about Suppression Kill, the Elephant Armor Clan's signature move. So when 4 mountains of flesh leapt at him, he was not surprised.
What puzzled him was something else.
Why did only 4 Spirit Elders attack, while the remaining 3 Spirit Ancestors stayed still?
What were they planning?
A backup plan?
Before Yu Tianlin could fully sort it out, the 4 massive bodies were already upon him. He had no choice but to raise his arms and brace.
If it had been only 1 lock on strike, he could have broken free easily. But with 4 lock ons layered together, it was no longer that simple. Even with Yu Tianlin's speed, his movement was forcibly slowed. On top of that, 10 meters was too close. The 4 attackers arrived in an instant, leaving him no time to dodge.
So he took it head on.
At the moment of impact, Yu Tianlin's 2nd Spirit Ring flashed.
Then he vanished beneath the weight of the 4 falling mountains.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
4 deafening explosions shook the entire arena. The 4 Spirit Elders from Elephant Armor Academy slammed into the stage so hard that they were embedded into it, forming 4 terrifying dents. Cracks exploded outward from each impact point, quickly connecting into a massive crater that swallowed the center of the arena.
Yu Tianlin's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Whispers instantly rose across the audience. Some people even thought Yu Tianlin had been crushed into minced meat.
Yet the VIP seats remained calm.
No one up there believed Yu Tianlin would be dealt with that easily.
The next moment, a faint thread of lightning flickered inside the crater.
Then, lightning erupted.
A violent blast of thunder forced the 4 Spirit Elders to fly backward, flinging them away like boulders tossed aside. Yu Tianlin's figure was revealed at the center of the crater.
His breathing was steady.
There was no blood.
He was clearly fine.
In the instant before being pinned, Yu Tianlin had used Thunder Dragon Claw. With full Dragon Transformation active, his physical body was strong enough to withstand the impact completely. Instead, the arena beneath him failed first. It collapsed under the force, forming the crater and dragging Yu Tianlin down with it.
As for the terrifying vibrations from that impact, they might have harmed him in the past.
But not now.
After being baptized by the dragon soul during his trip to Dragon Valley, Yu Tianlin had undergone a major transformation. His dragon scales became tighter and finer, and their defensive capability increased sharply, effectively isolating and dispersing that kind of violent shock.
The instant Yu Tianlin released his thunderous force and blasted away the 4 Spirit Elders suppressing him, the 3 Spirit Ancestors, including Huyan Li, moved.
They seized the opening and launched their attack together.
So this was their plan.
They let the 4 weaker Spirit Elders commit to a full force suppression to create a window. Then, in the brief moment when Yu Tianlin's old strength had just been expended and his next move had not yet formed, the 3 Spirit Ancestors would strike with everything and end it in 1 decisive blow.
The 4th Spirit Rings of the 3 Spirit Ancestors all lit up.
Since the 4th Spirit Skill was not fixed by clan rules, each of them changed differently.
Huyan Li, the strongest, was suddenly covered by a defensive layer that looked like jagged icicles, clearly possessing terrifying defensive power.
One of the other Spirit Ancestors crouched low and charged forward on all fours. The ivory tusks protruding from his lips grew rapidly in dense purple light, making it obvious his killing blow was focused on piercing.
The last Spirit Ancestors fists swelled as an earthy yellow glow spread across them. His Spirit Skill was clearly centered on brutal, direct punches.
Their timing was perfect.
They attacked from the front and both sides at once.
Yu Tianlin had only 2 hands. At most, he could block 2 strikes. The 3rd would inevitably land.
That was what they believed.
However, the situation was never that simple.
Yu Tianlin snorted coldly. "I was prepared for this from the start."
The moment Yu Tianlin saw the 3 Spirit Ancestors hold back earlier, he knew they were hiding something. That was why he had restrained himself against the 4 Spirit Elders and preserved strength. Now, he could respond calmly.
Facing the 3 Spirit Ancestors rushing in, Yu Tianlin immediately activated his 3rd Spirit Ring.
Third Spirit Skill: Thunder Dragon Roar!
A blue purple dragon head phantom condensed behind Yu Tianlin. It lifted its head and released a piercing dragon roar. An invisible wave exploded outward from Yu Tianlin, instantly engulfing the 3 Spirit Ancestors and spreading even beyond the arena.
If Yu Tianlin had not controlled it precisely, some people in the audience would have fainted on the spot.
It must be understood.
The upper age limit for a 4th Spirit Ring was under 5,000 years.
Yu Tianlin's Thunder Dragon Roar was 5,800 years.
It exceeded that limit.
On top of that, it was a pure mental attack. Against the Elephant Armor Clan, who specialized in physical strength, the effect was immediate.
The 3 Spirit Ancestors instantly fell into dizziness, their minds stunned and their movements sluggish.
Yet because of their huge weight and momentum, they still surged forward due to inertia.
"Even if their strength is far inferior to mine, being surrounded by 7 people is still a little troublesome," Yu Tianlin thought. "In that case, I'll deal with Huyan Li first."
For some reason, Yu Tianlin also felt something was off about Huyan Li, as if something had changed. That was another reason he wanted to take him down first.
Once he decided, Yu Tianlin did not hesitate.
He charged straight toward the dazed Huyan Li. Lightning crackled along his dragon claws as he swung at Huyan Li's body, which was layered with multiple defenses.
However, just as Yu Tianlin's strike was about to land, an unexpected twist occurred.
