Chapter 213: Spirit Bone Revealed, One Claw Drops One Kid!
Just as Yu Tianlin's strike was about to land on Huyan Li, a yellow brown helmet suddenly appeared on Huyan Li's head without any warning. The instant it formed, Huyan Li's eyes cleared, snapping back to full awareness.
A Head Spirit Bone.
The moment Yu Tianlin saw that helmet, his brows knit tightly.
What was Huyan Li thinking, revealing a Spirit Bone in front of everyone? That was basically waving a treasure around and begging for greedy eyes to latch onto him. Was he not afraid of dying? This was just a tournament. Was it really necessary to go this far?
The thought flashed through Yu Tianlin's mind like lightning, and the next second, the two of them collided head on.
With the Head Spirit Bone activated, Huyan Li recovered from the dizziness in time and reacted to Yu Tianlin's claw. He raised both arms and caught Yu Tianlin's dragon claws directly.
The two forces actually held.
A Spirit Bone really was a Spirit Bone. Between 2 people of similar strength, the one with an extra Spirit Bone could immediately seize an enormous advantage.
Huyan Li's Spirit Bone was not high quality, but the boost was still obvious. Yu Tianlin could clearly feel it, the fat man in front of him had surged to a terrifying level of strength. His body swelled again, and he could barely contend with Yu Tianlin head on.
Of course, if Yu Tianlin used his full strength, he could still suppress Huyan Li.
But his opponents were not only Huyan Li. There were 6 others around him. If Yu Tianlin did not reserve some strength, a sudden sneak attack would be hard to handle, and that would be truly dangerous.
So the two locked into a stalemate.
Even when the lightning on Yu Tianlin's dragon claws tried to invade Huyan Li's body, it failed. Huyan Li's 4th Spirit Skill, that ice like protective layer, combined with his 1st Spirit Skill's enamel layer and the keratin layer from Martial Soul possession, effectively isolated him from the lightning.
At the same time, the other 2 Spirit Ancestors from Elephant Armor Academy finally crashed into each other while still dizzy. Their 4th Spirit Skills slammed into teammates instead of Yu Tianlin. Thankfully, the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul had terrifying defense, and their power was weakened while they were stunned, so the injuries were not serious. If anything, the impact helped shake them back to their senses.
As for the other 4 Spirit Elders, they had been blasted away earlier by Yu Tianlin's lightning, but their keratin and enamel layers blocked most of it. Yu Tianlin also did not finish them off, so they struggled back to their feet and pushed toward the center again.
This was the trouble with Elephant Armor Academy.
Their defense was high enough to blunt both elemental and physical damage, making it extremely hard to drop them instantly.
For the moment, the situation looked unfavorable for Yu Tianlin.
"Very good, that's it." A glint flickered in Salas's eyes as he watched the exchange on the arena.
He had recently learned that Huyan Li possessed a Spirit Bone. So he wanted Elephant Armor Academy to severely injure Yu Tianlin and keep him from fighting in the next few rounds. Then, through underhanded arrangements, he would have Thunder Academy run into several powerful opponents in a row, knocking them out during the qualifiers.
That would solve everything.
As for Yu Yuanzhen beside him, Salas did not care. He only wanted to injure Yu Tianlin, not kill him. He did not believe Yu Yuanzhen, as the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and a level 96 Title Douluo, would personally interfere in a match between juniors over something like this. If Yu Yuanzhen truly did that, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would lose face in front of the entire continent.
Salas's plan sounded airtight.
Unfortunately for him, reality did not follow his script.
On the arena, Yu Tianlin, still locked in a stalemate with Huyan Li, suddenly laughed. "Huyan Li, since you're willing to expose your Spirit Bone just to beat me, then I'll let you see the thing I've been hiding too."
The moment he spoke, a surge of current burst from Yu Tianlin's body. It stimulated his entire form in a strange, precise pattern. Under that stimulation, every part of him became more active, sharper, faster. Electric light spread perfectly across his dragon transformed body, wrapping him like a suit of armor.
At the same time, an oppressive aura climbed from Yu Tianlin's body, rising higher and higher.
"This is…" Huyan Li's pupils shrank as he felt the increasingly sharp, dangerous pressure gathering around Yu Tianlin's claws.
"My self created Spirit Skill," Yu Tianlin said with a smile. "I call it Thunder Dragon Armor."
That was right. This was the Spirit Skill Yu Tianlin had developed himself.
The reason was simple. His 4th Spirit Skill, Thunderous Fury, only amplified his Spirit Power and lightning power. It did not directly increase his attack strength, defense, physical power, or speed at all.
Yu Tianlin was naturally dissatisfied with that. So he created a method that could strengthen those attributes directly.
Thus, Thunder Dragon Armor was born, inspired by the concept of focusing lightning stimulation beyond just the hands.
Because Yu Tianlin had been struck by lightning countless times, he understood his body's tolerance extremely well. Developing Thunder Dragon Armor did not put him in real danger. He only spent time testing different levels of current stimulation on flesh, adjusting the intensity until it became stable and usable in battle.
He succeeded.
Based on Yu Tianlin's own tests, once activated, Thunder Dragon Armor increased his attack power, defense, and speed by 100 percent, doubling all 3. The only drawback was that it consumed an enormous amount of Spirit Power.
"Don't worry about me, attack Yu Tianlin!" Sensing the threat rising sharply, Huyan Li ignored the risk of friendly fire and shouted directly to his teammates.
"Too late!" Yu Tianlin roared.
With his claws now doubled in power, he smashed straight into Huyan Li. Huyan Li tried to block, but it was useless. Yu Tianlin's dragon claw tore through Huyan Li's 3 layers of defense like paper, ripping open a deep wound and splashing blood. Violent lightning surged into Huyan Li's body through the torn flesh, making him convulse violently.
The other 6 members of Elephant Armor Academy all changed expression. They rushed in with furious faces, charging Yu Tianlin from every angle.
Yu Tianlin struck again, confirming Huyan Li could no longer fight. Then he lifted his gaze toward the 6 rushing at him and released his speed completely.
In an instant, he became a bolt of lightning.
He flashed across the arena, shifting and dodging so fast that the 6 could not even lock onto his position. They could only swing blindly and take hits passively. Their proud defense, the same defense that made them feel untouchable, was torn open again and again under Yu Tianlin's claws, as if it had become nothing more than fragile paper.
