Chapter 214: Something Happened at Blue Tyrant Academy
With the boost from Thunder Dragon Armor, Yu Tianlin's offensive power shot through the roof. His dragon claws were terrifyingly sharp, and even the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul's defense could not withstand them. One claw per strike, clean and brutal, he tore through their protection and dropped them on the spot.
On the battered central arena, all 7 members of Elephant Armor Academy were sprawled across the ground, bleeding heavily.
There was no helping it. Their defenses were too strong. If Yu Tianlin wanted to stop them from getting back up, he could not rely on blunt force alone. He had to draw blood.
In the VIP seats, Hu Yanzhen's face turned stormy as he watched his grandson get seriously injured. He clenched his fists and slammed them hard into the armrest. But when his eyes flicked toward Yu Yuanzhen nearby, he could only swallow that anger.
Otherwise, what could he do? Cause trouble for Yu Tianlin in public, or demand an explanation from Yu Yuanzhen? He did not have that kind of courage.
Salas, standing beside Hu Yanzhen, looked just as unhappy. He could not accept the result either. Inside his heart, he cursed viciously.
"Useless. Even with a Spirit Bone, he still failed."
Fortunately, Salas only raged inwardly. He did not do anything reckless that might damage the surface harmony between Spirit Hall and the Elephant Armor Sect.
While those 2 were stewing, the atmosphere on the other side was far more pleasant.
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Clan Master Yu, your grandson is truly extraordinary. If absorbing a 10,000 year Spirit Ring can be called luck, then this kind of self created Spirit Skill can only be described as pure talent."
"Clan Master Ning, you flatter me." Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard, clearly pleased, yet he still answered with practiced humility. "Tianlin likes to tinker when he has nothing to do. He just happened to stumble into a self created Spirit Skill. It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
Salas and Hu Yanzhen grew even more irritated when they heard that. Those words sounded humble, but the pride tucked inside them was impossible to miss.
Salas could endure it.
Hu Yanzhen could not.
He stood up abruptly and left the VIP area with only 1 sentence. "I have something to do."
"The Elephant Armor Clan is of little use," Salas thought as he watched Hu Yanzhen go. "Then how are we supposed to deal with Yu Tianlin? At this rate, no one can stop him in the qualifiers."
He quickly made a decision.
"Forget it. I'll report this to His Holiness the Pope first. I wonder what His Holiness will think when he learns the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has produced a monster like this."
"Hmph. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan…"
After it was confirmed that all 7 members of Elephant Armor Academy had lost combat ability, the referee announced the result.
"Thunder Academy wins!"
Yu Tianlin secured another victory for Thunder Academy, pushing their record to 7 wins. For the time being, they were tied for first with Skywater Academy and Blue Tyrant Academy.
In Skywater Academy's rest area, Shui Bing'er watched Yu Tianlin on the arena, soaking in the crowd's cheers. Admiration filled her eyes.
Behind her, Shui Yue'er puffed her cheeks, looking extremely unhappy. The moment Shui Bing'er's attention drifted toward Yu Tianlin again, Xue Wu quietly gave Shui Yue'er a look. The 2 of them then slipped out of the rest area without a sound, as if they had something to discuss.
Meanwhile, in Blue Tyrant Academy's rest area, everyone was openly impressed by Yu Tianlin's strength.
Only Yu Tianxin stayed silent.
After spending a year together, Yu Tianxin had grown familiar with the former Shrek group. But listening to everyone praise Yu Tianlin, he found himself unable to say a single word.
Yu Tianxin once believed that after breaking through to Spirit Elder, the gap between him and his 2 cousins would finally shrink.
Reality slapped him hard.
Not only did the distance not shrink, it widened.
It was difficult for him to accept.
"Am I really destined to be inferior to those 2 for my entire life?" Yu Tianxin clenched his fist tightly. "No. Whether it's Tianheng or Tianlin, I have to defeat them in this tournament, right in front of the Clan Master. I must win!"
Yu Tianxin made up his mind.
But the very next day, he ended up coming to Yu Tianlin for help anyway.
Because Dai Mubai suddenly disappeared.
In the 8th round of the qualifiers, Blue Tyrant Academy's opponent chose to concede, letting them rest for a day. Even so, most of them stayed at the Heaven Dou Arena to watch other matches and gather information.
Only Dai Mubai left early.
And after he walked out alone, he vanished.
They discovered it quickly, but even with several Spirit Saints, including Flender, searching with all their strength, Yu Xiaogang had little hope of finding him through normal means.
So he made a decisive choice. He brought Yu Tianxin straight to the hotel where Thunder Academy was staying.
Thunder Academy's opponent in the 8th round was also weak. Lei Tian and the others handled it easily. Yu Tianlin did not even need to appear, so he stayed in his room cultivating.
Mid cultivation, someone knocked on his door.
When Yu Tianlin opened it, Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianxin were standing outside. Yu Xiaogang did not waste time. He asked directly, "Tianlin, where is your grandfather? I need to discuss something important with him."
Yu Tianlin nearly laughed.
My grandfather? Isn't my grandfather also your father? Is it really that hard to call him "Dad"?
He complained internally, but seeing how urgent their expressions were, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he asked calmly, "What happened? You two look like you're in a rush."
"Mu Bai disappeared," Yu Tianxin said, voice tight. "He must have been taken by a powerful Spirit Master. My aunt, Vice Dean Flender, and Teacher Zhao are already searching, but it doesn't look promising. So my uncle brought me here to ask the Clan Master for help."
Yu Tianxin and Dai Mubai had spent a full year together. As the only 2 Spirit Ancestor level fighters in Blue Tyrant Academy, with similar cultivation and both being power attack types, they valued each other greatly. Yu Tianxin was genuinely anxious.
After hearing the explanation, Yu Tianlin was speechless for a moment.
Calling in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader to deal with Dai Mubai's disappearance was… bold. Really bold.
Why not ask Ning Rongrong to request help from Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan instead?
Yu Tianlin initially wanted to refuse.
But then he quickly connected the dots.
At this point in time, Dai Mubai suddenly going missing, when matched with the original story's timeline, made the cause almost obvious.
It had to be Shi Nian, the Spirit Saint from Canghui Academy.
He kidnapped Dai Mubai to cripple Blue TyrantAcademy's lineup, so Canghui Academy's team could advance more smoothly in the qualifiers.
Once Yu Tianlin figured that out, he did not refuse.
He remembered there was a head Spirit Bone involved, and its quality was definitely above 10,000 years. It was a very valuable item.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not lack Spirit Bones, but no one ever complained about having more. Shi Nian was only a Spirit Saint. Yu Yuanzhen could deal with him effortlessly.
One trip, and you get a 10,000 year grade Spirit Bone.
Even Yu Yuanzhen would not turn that down.
