Chapter 307: Yu Tianlin vs. Yang Wudi!
Now that things had escalated to this point, a fight was unavoidable. That was exactly why Yu Tianlin had spoken the way he did.
"My strength isn't enough to make you fear? How arrogant!" As expected, the moment Yu Tianlin's words fell, Yang Wudi looked at him coldly and pointed his spear straight at him. "If Yu Luomian weren't protecting you, would you dare speak to me like this?"
The disciples of the Breaking Clan around them also reacted at once when they saw their Clan Chief's attitude, and the atmosphere instantly grew extremely tense.
Although Yu Luomian was somewhat displeased that Yu Tianlin had reignited the conflict, he still stood in front of him.
Before leaving the Clan, Yu Luomian had promised Yu Yuanzhen that he would not let anything happen to Yu Tianlin here.
However, Yu Tianlin stepped out from behind Yu Luomian, looked straight at Yang Wudi's spear point, and said, "Second Grandfather, this is a matter between Senior Yang Wudi and me. Let me settle it myself. You just need to help me look after Sister Lingling."
Yu Luomian was surprised to hear that, and Ye Lingling, who had remained silent until now, also looked at him with worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen." Yu Tianlin gently patted Ye Lingling's hand. "Wait with Second Grandfather for a bit. This will be over soon."
Seeing how firm Yu Tianlin was, Yu Luomian thought for a moment and then agreed.
Before they had left the Clan, Yu Yuanzhen had already revealed part of Yu Tianlin's strength to him. Although Yu Luomian felt there was likely some exaggeration in it, if Yu Yuanzhen could speak so highly, then Yu Tianlin should at least be able to hold his own against Yang Wudi for a while. Even if he eventually lost, Yu Luomian could still step in and save him in time.
In any case, among everyone present, Yu Luomian was the strongest. No matter what happened, the situation would not go beyond his control. Besides, Yu Luomian also wanted to see Yu Tianlin's true combat power for himself. With that in mind, he naturally nodded and used his spirit power to pull Ye Lingling aside.
"Senior Yang Wudi, I've already told Second Grandfather not to interfere." After the two of them retreated, Yu Tianlin looked at Yang Wudi with a calm expression. "What do you intend to do?"
"Hmph. Since you're so eager to die, then don't blame me!" Yang Wudi clearly believed Yu Luomian had deliberately stepped back to use him as a whetstone for this junior. Feeling underestimated, the anger in his heart rose again. He directly thrust his spear at Yu Tianlin.
In Yang Wudi's view, this time he was mentally prepared. Even if Yu Luomian tried to interfere midway, he would not be able to stop him. He could use this opportunity to teach Yu Tianlin a harsh lesson, make Yu Luomian pay for underestimating him, and vent the anger in his chest all at once.
Facing Yang Wudi's furious strike, Yu Tianlin did not dare be careless. With Martial Soul Possession, 6 spirit rings that completely defied common sense rose around his Dragonized body, gold red, purple, purple, black, black, red, pulsing up and down around him.
The moment Yang Wudi saw Yu Tianlin's spirit ring configuration, even with his experience, his mind still trembled. However, Yang Wudi had already reached the realm where spear and man were one. No matter what happened, it would not affect this thrust of his.
After Martial Soul Possession and full Dragonization, Yu Tianlin saw that Yang Wudi had not used any Spirit Ability, so he did not use one either. Lightning flashed around him as he charged straight forward to meet the attack.
When facing a spear type Spirit, the best way to deal with it is usually to avoid its sharpest edge for the time being, then strike where it is weakest. But Yu Tianlin did not do that.
First, he genuinely wanted to test the power of an extreme pure attack Spirit Master for himself. Second, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was also a powerful attack type Martial Soul. Retreating was simply not its style.
With that thought, Yu Tianlin first used his immense mental force to break the lock of the Soul Breaking Spear, then swung one Dragon Claw at the spear shaft, intending to knock the Soul Breaking Spear aside, while his other Dragon Claw slashed directly toward Yang Wudi's body.
Against a spear type Martial Soul, the best target was naturally the shaft behind the spearhead. If he could directly threaten the Spirit Master's body, that was even better.
But Yang Wudi was a true spear expert. How could he be that easy to deal with? The spear shaft merely trembled, then directly met Yu Tianlin's Dragon Claw head on.
Clang!
A sharp metallic sound rang out. The instant the Dragon Claw and the Soul Breaking Spear collided, the immense force contained within both erupted at once, and both Yu Tianlin and Yang Wudi were forced to retreat rapidly.
This probing exchange, without either side using a Spirit Ability, actually ended in a draw. Neither gained the upper hand.
"What incredible strength!" After stabilizing himself, Yang Wudi's gaze toward Yu Tianlin immediately changed. "I didn't expect you to improve this much in just 5 years."
Although Yu Tianlin's spirit power was far below Yang Wudi's, their physical qualities were completely reversed. With the enhancement of those terrifying spirit rings and Spirit Bones, Yu Tianlin's physical body was already comparable to a Titled Douluo, even surpassing some with weaker physiques.
Moreover, Yu Tianlin was currently in full Dragonization. Suppressing Yang Wudi in pure strength was naturally no surprise.
Yu Tianlin only smiled faintly at Yang Wudi's words. "5 years is not a short time. It's normal to make this much progress. Senior Yang, hasn't your spirit power improved too?"
Through that brief clash just now, Yu Tianlin had already confirmed Yang Wudi's current level. Rank 82. One level higher than 5 years ago.
Well, in those same 5 years, Yu Tianlin had advanced more than 30 levels, while Yang Wudi had only advanced by 1. The difference was simply too great.
So although Yu Tianlin's words sounded like he was acknowledging Yang Wudi's improvement, when they reached Yang Wudi's ears, they were full of mockery.
"Enough of your sharp tongue. Let's speak with strength instead!"
Yang Wudi's expression turned cold, and the 4th spirit ring on his Soul Breaking Spear lit up instantly, dyeing the entire spear black before he swept it straight toward Yu Tianlin.
This time, Yang Wudi had chosen to sweep instead of thrust.
He had already realized that he could not lock onto Yu Tianlin. In that case, a wide ranging sweep was obviously far more effective than a piercing thrust.
The reason was simple. Yu Tianlin's mental force was stronger than Yang Wudi's.
So called targeting and locking were ultimately only mental techniques. Yu Tianlin's current mental force was already comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, far beyond Yang Wudi's, so naturally he could break the lock of the Soul Breaking Spear.
Faced with the Soul Breaking Spear, now filled with terrifying destructive force under the enhancement of the 4th Spirit Ability, Yu Tianlin also lit up his own 4th spirit ring without hesitation.
Since you're using your 4th Spirit Ability, then I'll use mine too.
Dark, profound lightning burst from Yu Tianlin's chest and instantly spread across his entire body. His aura also surged sharply at that moment.
Wrath of Thunder, increasing spirit power and Lightning Power by 150%!
