Chapter 245: Quickly Defeating Dai Mubai, Chicken, Monkey, and Lone Wolf
Although White Tiger Meteor Shower carried no elemental properties, it was still a bombardment of pure Spirit Power. When those light spheres exploded, they generated a powerful impact force that usually caused internal injuries, often leaving the opponent bleeding from the nose and mouth.
In Dai Mubai's eyes, since Yu Tianlin had chosen to take the attack head-on, injury was inevitable. At the very least, his condition should weaken somewhat.
Just as Dai Mubai was already calculating how to continue wearing Yu Tianlin down and create an opportunity for his teammates, an abrupt change took place.
The instant the roaring explosions stopped, a bolt of lightning cut across half the field.
It was so fast that it completely surpassed Dai Mubai's reaction speed. Before he could even process what had happened, it had already arrived at his side.
It was Yu Tianlin.
He still looked entirely human. There were no signs of dragon transformation, and no Spirit Rings had appeared, meaning he still had not even used his Martial Soul.
Of course, while he had not used his Martial Soul, he had used his Spirit Power. Violent lightning wrapped around his entire body. In the moment he burst forward and reached Dai Mubai, his right hand curled into a claw and stabbed forward without the slightest hesitation.
Now that he had already seen Dai Mubai's 4th Spirit Skill, there was no point in dragging the fight out any longer. Yu Tianlin naturally wanted to finish him quickly and move on to the next person.
At the start of the match, Yu Tianlin had only defended and had not taken the initiative to attack, so Dai Mubai's tightly strung nerves had inevitably relaxed a little. Now that Yu Tianlin suddenly exploded with speed, Dai Mubai had no time to react before Yu Tianlin had already closed in and struck.
With lightning wrapped around it, Yu Tianlin's right hand was as sharp as a blade. Unsurprisingly, it pierced straight into Dai Mubai's body while he was completely unprepared.
Then came the burst of electricity.
The violent current entered through Dai Mubai's wound and spread throughout his entire body. Dai Mubai convulsed violently as he tried to resist, but it was already too late, and resistance was meaningless.
"You lost your confidence the moment you faced me," Yu Tianlin said, precisely controlling the intensity of the current to keep Dai Mubai in a half-conscious state. "Then, under my deliberate misdirection, you became careless. That is why you lost."
The moment he finished speaking, Yu Tianlin suddenly increased the strength of the current. Dai Mubai rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.
"That's enough, we surrender!"
The voice came from Yu Xiaogang below the arena, in Blue Tyrant Academy's direction, the moment he saw Dai Mubai completely lose the ability to continue fighting.
Since the other side had already conceded, there was naturally no need for Yu Tianlin to throw Dai Mubai off the field. He simply lowered him where he stood.
On Blue Tyrant Academy's side, since Oscar did not need to take part in this kind of one-on-one arena battle, he immediately ran up and carried Dai Mubai away.
When Yu Tianlin saw Oscar feeding Dai Mubai a few sausages, clearly worried about his condition, he said, "Don't worry. I was careful. Dai Mubai is fine. The wound in his abdomen is shallow, and the current did not actually injure him. He just fainted. He'll wake up soon."
Since it was still a match, Oscar did not say much. He only nodded at Yu Tianlin, then carried Dai Mubai down.
The 2nd person Blue Tyrant Academy sent onto the stage was Ma Hongjun.
The moment he came up, he immediately tried to build rapport, saying that friends should not go too far, that friendship should come first and competition second, and that this was only a friendly spar.
In short, what he meant was obvious: he hoped Yu Tianlin would show mercy and not hit too hard.
Yu Tianlin found it both funny and irritating. Still, considering that Ma Hongjun was an acquaintance and was only level 33, Yu Tianlin could not be bothered to take him too seriously, so he decided to go a little easier on him and play around for a bit.
Unexpectedly, Yu Tianlin showed restraint, but Ma Hongjun did not show any mercy at all.
At the very start of the match, he immediately used his 3rd Spirit Skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring, to seize air superiority. Then he activated his 2nd Spirit Skill, Phoenix Bathing in Fire, to enhance his flames. Finally, he unleashed his 1st Spirit Skill, Phoenix Fireline, as a ranged attack.
This kind of aerial fire suppression was quite annoying. Moreover, because Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames had not yet been purified and still had strong adhesive properties, they actually caused Yu Tianlin some slight trouble.
Yu Tianlin was immediately speechless.
This fatty really was crafty.
He had just asked Yu Tianlin to go easy on him, but then he came out attacking at full strength. That was shameless.
With that thought, Yu Tianlin stopped playing around. He neither used dragon wings nor activated any Spirit Skills. Instead, he directly condensed balls of lightning out of Spirit Power and hurled them toward Ma Hongjun in the air.
Although Ma Hongjun used Phoenix Fireline to neutralize several of them and also relied on flight to dodge a few, it was all useless.
Everything was within Yu Tianlin's calculations. His first few lightning balls were only meant to force Ma Hongjun to shift positions. By the time the 7th lightning ball came, it struck cleanly and electrocuted him.
The phoenix in the sky instantly turned into a chicken.
Yu Tianlin rushed over, ran up to the falling Ma Hongjun, and kicked the little fatty straight off the field.
Judging from Yu Tianlin's calm expression, dealing with Ma Hongjun had not consumed him in the slightest.
In fact, defeating Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun one after another had cost him less than 10% of his Spirit Power, and that was without him deliberately conserving energy.
After kicking Ma Hongjun off the field, the 3rd person Blue Tyrant Academy sent up was a burly young man with broad shoulders and short chestnut hair.
This young man had appeared many times during the preliminary rounds, so Yu Tianlin naturally recognized him.
Tailong, Martial Soul: Mighty Gorilla, level 38 power-attack type.
Yu Tianlin knew Tailong quite well. He was from the Power Clan, one of the 4 single attribute clans, and an extremely pure strength-type Spirit Master.
A so-called pure strength Spirit Master meant that all of his Spirit Rings focused entirely on increasing strength, pushing that one attribute to the extreme.
Yu Tianlin had always been interested in witnessing the power of this type of extreme Spirit Master, so when facing Tailong, he did not use speed suppression or lightning effects. Instead, he chose the simplest and most direct method.
He fought him head-on, force against force.
During the clash, Yu Tianlin discovered that this type of extreme Spirit Master really was very powerful in his chosen specialty.
Although Tailong was only level 38, once he stacked all 3 of his Spirit Skills, setting aside everything else, his raw physical strength was definitely comparable to that of an ordinary power-attack Soul King.
That was genuinely impressive.
After a brief but direct confrontation, Yu Tianlin finally released even greater strength, crushing Tailong head-on and leaving him questioning his entire existence.
Having defeated 3 opponents in a row without expending much Spirit Power, Yu Tianlin naturally had no intention of stepping down, so the match continued.
The 4th person Blue Tyrant Academy sent out was Huang Yuan, a level 35 power-attack type with the Lone Wolf Martial Soul.
Speaking of which, Su Yuntao's Martial Soul had also been Lone Wolf. Now Huang Yuan's Martial Soul was exactly the same. It really did make one wonder whether the 2 of them had any blood relation.
