Enduring the pain of his broken arm, Yu Tianheng let out an unwilling roar, and his equally deep purple third spirit ring burst forth with a dazzling purple light!
"Third Soul Skill, Thunder Fury!"
He completely abandoned defense, pouring all his Soul Power and rage into this Soul Skill!
The somewhat scattered lightning around him surged again, its color becoming even deeper, as if transforming into liquid lightning! His Aura at this moment became extremely unstable and destructive, attempting a final struggle in his strongest explosive state.
Thunder Fury, effect: For a certain period, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master enters a berserk state, increasing lightning power by one hundred percent and Soul Power by fifty percent.
If he does not actively stop the skill, it will continue until his Soul Power is exhausted.
At the same time, just as Yu Tianheng forcibly activated Thunder Fury, and the lightning around him surged and his Aura became violent and unstable, his deep purple fourth spirit ring also lit up with a dazzling purple light!
He knew that relying solely on the state amplification of Thunder Fury would likely still be insufficient to contend with the opponent's terrifying Golden Dragon Fist; he had to use his strongest attack Soul Skill!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Dash!"
Yu Tianheng endured the excruciating pain of his broken right arm, and with his remaining left hand, he fiercely swung forward!
Immediately, the surging thunderous Soul Power within him gushed out like a flood through an open sluice gate!
"Roar—!"
Another high-pitched Dragon roar sounded!
A blue-purple electric Dragon, entirely composed of highly compressed and condensed lightning, materialized in front of Yu Tianheng's Dragon Claw, and then, with destructive speed and ferocity, like an arrow shot from a bow, it lunged towards Xiao Rui'er, who was close at hand!
Wherever it passed, the air was scorched, leaving a faint burnt smell.
This was Yu Tianheng's strongest single-target attack Soul Skill, and a desperate strike!
Facing Yu Tianheng's all-out counterattack, Xiao Rui'er's eyes remained calm, even carrying a hint of indifference. She didn't even use a stronger Soul Skill.
Her yellow first spirit ring and yellow second spirit ring simultaneously lit up!
"First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Body!"
"Second Soul Skill, Dragon's Power!"
Two major amplification Martial Soul Abilities instantly empowered her!
Xiao Rui'er's body seemed to grow slightly taller, golden light faintly flowed beneath her skin, and her entire Aura surged again. The pure sense of power almost solidified!
Facing the roaring blue electric Dragon.
She neither retreated nor dodged, still delivering a simple and direct punch!
The next second, that same powerful, heavy fist, as if capable of smashing mountains, wrapped in dense golden light, fiercely met the violent thunderous electric Dragon!
Boom—!
The golden fist and the blue electric Dragon instantly collided!
However, the result was the same as before, even more decisive!
The blue electric Dragon, which had condensed all of Yu Tianheng's Soul Power, failed to hold out for even a second upon contact with the golden fist, which contained extreme power and Dragon Might.
Immediately, it shattered and annihilated like a bubble, finally transforming into countless scattered currents that overflowed in all directions, failing to cause even the slightest obstruction!
Xiao Rui'er's fist, however, did not lose momentum, easily penetrating the dissipating electric light, and illuminated by the lightning, it solidly landed on Yu Tianheng's unguarded chest!
"Bang—!!!"
Another extremely dull, massive thud echoed on the arena!
"Ah—"
Screaming again, Yu Tianheng's pupils instantly dilated.
He only felt an irresistible immense force penetrate his body, his sternum groaned under the unbearable pressure, and his internal organs felt as if they had shifted!
The next second, Yu Tianheng, like a kite with a broken string, was directly sent flying off the ground, tracing a pathetic arc in mid-air, finally crashing heavily onto the ground outside the arena, kicking up a cloud of dust, and instantly falling unconscious, losing all awareness.
"Next."
On the arena, Xiao Rui'er slowly retracted her fist, the golden light around her body receding. Her gaze calmly turned towards the Shrek Academy's preparation area, and her slightly provocative voice sounded again.
"Tian Heng! No—! Damn it, Tianxing Academy, you'll pay for this!"
Watching Yu Tianheng being effortlessly sent flying by Xiao Rui'er's devastating punch, Master felt his vision darken, his heart immediately filled with dread, and he couldn't help but let out a mournful roar.
Yu Tianheng was not only a member of Shrek's team.
He was also his own nephew, from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!
Seeing the latter suffer such severe injuries, Master's heart was bleeding at this moment.
Immediately after, he sharply turned around, grabbing Flender's arm beside him, his fingers trembling violently with agitation, and said:
"No! We can't keep fighting like this!"
"I know! I understand! These bastards from Tianxing Academy!"
"They had ill intentions from the start! This arrangement is meant to cripple and disable all our people in the first match! To make us lose our fighting capacity! That way, our Shrek Academy won't be able to participate in the subsequent matches!"
Upon hearing this, Flender subconsciously asked:
"Xiaogang, then... what do we do next?"
"Surrender!" Master almost yelled these two words, his emotions somewhat agitated: "Surrender immediately! Surrendering now can still preserve our strength! It will prevent Mubai, Hongjun (Ma Hongjun), and the others from unnecessary injuries! Only then will we have a chance to defeat later opponents and earn points!"
At the end of his speech, Master, without waiting for Flender to say anything more, abruptly pushed him aside, rushed forward, and frantically shouted to the somewhat stunned referee in the center of the arena:
"Referee! This promotion match between our Shrek Academy and Tianxing Academy today, we... surrender! We surrender!"
Upon hearing this, the people from Tianxing Academy remained calm, as if they had expected it.
The other academy teams watching cast complex and varied glances, some disdainful, some sympathetic, but mostly a knowing understanding of 'as expected'.
But no one had expected that Shrek Academy's first battle in the promotion round.
Would end so hastily, in such a nearly pathetic manner... A few minutes later, in Shrek Academy's preparation room, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Master carefully helped Yu Tianheng to a chair, looking at the terrifying, visibly sunken injury on his chest, and asked with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice:
"Tian Heng, are you... are you alright?"
Yu Tianheng's face was ashen, and he was breathing with some difficulty, but he still endured the severe pain, shook his head, and said: "I'm fine, Uncle, I'm... I'm not dead yet."
Speaking of this, he paused to catch his breath, seemingly gathering strength. Then, a strange glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his tone became somewhat eerie as he said:
"Uncle, there's something... I want to tell you."
Master frowned slightly upon hearing this, asking in confusion: "What is it?"
"Uncle, as far as I know, Xiao Rui'er, the one who defeated me, her Martial Soul is the Golden Dragon!" Yu Tianheng lowered his voice, and despite being somewhat weak, he spoke with an indescribable excitement.
"The Golden Dragon is known as the Ancestor of Power, belonging to the most top-tier Dragon Clan Martial Soul!"
"You also know that within our Family, many Elders have always been dedicated to researching various Dragon Clan Martial Souls, hoping to find a way to further advance the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Bloodline..."
"You say, what if we send the news of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul appearing back to the Family...?"
Yu Tianheng's words were like a boulder thrown into Master Yu's heart, which was already distorted by despair and resentment!
Immediately, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes first.
Then, a light mixed with greed, madness, and extreme longing, like a wildfire, wildly grew and burned in his heart!
At this moment, Master remembered his Luo San Pao, whose Bloodline had been drained and become defiled!
He remembered the pain of his lifelong pursuit of Martial Soul evolution ending in tragic failure!
He remembered his current state, neither human nor ghost!
Golden Dragon!
Ancestor of Power! Top-tier Dragon Clan Bloodline!
Immediately after, an extremely evil and audacious thought.
Like an uncontrollable tumor, it emerged in Master's mind, then began to swell rapidly, making him go completely mad.
"The Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline in my body was extracted by people from Tianxing Academy."
"But what if I... what if I could obtain this Golden Dragon Bloodline?!"
"Then my Martial Soul Luo San Pao, would it still have a chance...?"
