It would have been truly strange if Tang San had managed to win that fight, but losing? That was completely normal.
Because the outcome was already decided in their minds, Oscar and Ma Hongjun did not seem overly concerned with gentleness. They stood over Tang San, acting as field medics in the roughest way possible. With casual movements, they took a handful of salt and sprinkled it directly onto Tang San's open wounds to disinfect them. Immediately after, they stuffed a wad of rough gauze into the injury and left it at that. The heart-wrenching pain from the salt hitting raw flesh nearly made Tang San faint on the spot, his body twitching involuntarily.
While the Shrek team tended to their wounded, unconcealed sneers and ridicule erupted from the surrounding audience stands. The spectators looked down at the battered team with disdain.
"Is this the so-called genius Shrek Team everyone is talking about? They are too damn weak! That kid was beaten by Shi Mo without any ability to retaliate at all. I think he is just famous in name only!"
Hearing these harsh voices, the members of the Shrek Group remained completely unfazed. Their expressions were calm, bordering on indifferent. They did not get angry because they understood the reality of the situation better than anyone else. It would be strange if Tang San had won against such an opponent. Losing was the normal result. Such a tragic outcome was not at all unexpected to them.
Just then, the teacher leading the team, Qin Ming, stepped forward. His voice was calm and steady as he announced the next match.
"The result of the second one-on-one draw is out. It will be Royal Fight Team's Yu Tianheng against Shrek Team's Huo Feng!"
Upon hearing their names, both young men stepped onto the Spirit Fighting Stage at the same time.
As soon as he took his position, a dazzling blue light suddenly lit up from the center of Yu Tianheng's forehead. The light was intense, radiating a powerful pressure. Immediately after, that blue light spread instantly, descending from his glabella and flowing throughout his entire body like a rushing river. Streaks of blue-purple lightning burst out from his skin like small, restless snakes, coiling and moving around his limbs with a dangerous crackling sound.
On the surface, Yu Tianheng's transformation did not look very significant compared to some other Beast Spirit Masters who grew fur or horns all over. Apart from a jagged blue lightning symbol appearing on his forehead, only two specific parts of his body changed due to his Spirit possession.
The parts that changed were his left and right arms.
The original sleeves of his jacket burst into ash instantly due to the sudden expansion of his muscles. The length of his arms increased by more than half a foot, giving him a monstrous appearance. His entire arms became extremely thick and were completely covered in hard, blue-purple scales. His hands had turned into terrifying claws, covered with the same metallic scales. Every knuckle on his hands became thick and heavy, looking like they could crush stone with ease. The blue-purple serpentine lightning coiling around his body continuously gathered and flowed along these dragon arms, concentrating his destructive power.
His two yellow and two purple Spirit Rings did not coil around his body like they did for other Spirit Masters. Instead, they coiled specifically around these two mutated, dragon-like arms.
This was the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. As a top-tier Spirit, it possessed unique characteristics that set it apart from other Spirits.
Firstly, as a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master, the Spirit Rings he absorbed had to come from sub-dragon type Spirit Beasts. This was a strict requirement to maintain the purity and power of the Spirit. It was similar to how Oscar had to obtain the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent for his Spirit Ring to suit his needs.
The transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit began in earnest at Level 30. Every time a Spirit Ring was obtained after that threshold, a part of the user's body would transform to become more dragon-like when using the Spirit. Just like Yu Tianheng's current arms, they represented his current level of physical transformation.
Previously, when he had encountered the Shrek Team in the Soto Fighting Arena, Yu Tianheng had not yet broken through to Level 30. Therefore, back then, only his right arm had been able to transform. But things were different now. After successfully breaking through to the Spirit Ancestor rank at Level 40, his left arm had also undergone the transformation. Now, both his left and right arms had completely transformed into thick, powerful dragon arms. His combat power had increased drastically compared to before.
It was said that by reaching Level 70 and becoming a Spirit Saint, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master could truly transform into a full dragon. In that state, they could unleash extremely terrifying power that ruled the battlefield. This was why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was hailed as the most terrifying Attack System Spirit of the same rank.
To put it simply, if Yu Tianheng and the Shrek Academy teacher Zhao Wuji were both at Level 70, the outcome would be clear. Zhao Wuji's Vigorous Vajra Bear Spirit Avatar would definitely not be a match for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Avatar. Although both were top-tier Beast Spirits, and Zhao Wuji's Vigorous Vajra Bear was incredibly formidable in terms of defense and strength, there was an insurmountable gap created by absolute Spirit suppression. The dragon was simply a higher existence in the hierarchy of beasts.
Therefore, Yu Tianheng's current arms no longer fell within the category of human limbs. They had completely transformed into the limbs of a dragon. Dragon scales were attached to his skin like armor, and his hands had become lethal weapons.
"Buzz—!"
At the same moment that Yu Tianheng completed his possession, Huo Feng also released his Spirit.
A dark blue longsword, the Thunderclap Sword, appeared in his hand, humming with energy. Similarly, two yellow and two purple Spirit Rings rose from beneath his feet, moving rhythmically around him.
However, Yu Tianheng did not wait. Just as Huo Feng summoned his sword, a blue figure had already flashed across the stage, appearing right in front of him. The thick dragon arms shimmered with dazzling blue light, illuminating Huo Feng's face. Before Yu Tianheng even physically arrived, the blue lightning surrounding him had already condensed into a giant claw shape in mid-air.
It struck directly at Huo Feng's chest with the force of a thunderbolt.
The speed of the lightning was incredibly fast. Huo Feng barely registered Yu Tianheng's figure moving when the blue-purple electric claw had already reached his chest, threatening to tear him apart.
"First Soul Skill—Sword Breaking Strike!"
Yu Tianheng's lightning was indeed powerful, but Huo Feng was not defenseless. His Dugu Nine Swords' first form was also lightning-attributed. Since they were both using the same element, they would see whose lightning was more tyrannical.
Huo Feng fiercely swung his Thunderclap Sword. A sharp gust of sword wind, flickering with terrifying electric arcs, instantly appeared and slashed forward to meet the incoming attack.
"Crack—! Sizzle—!"
The moment the two attacks made contact, a violent explosion instantly erupted in the air between them. Although both attacks were formed of lightning, their fundamental attributes were slightly different, leading to a violent reaction rather than a merger. After several seconds of intense entanglement and crackling noise, both energies dissipated like smoke.
Yu Tianheng watched as his Lightning Dragon Claw and Huo Feng's sword qi cancelled each other out. He paused for a brief moment of daze, surprised by the resistance. But he recovered instantly. He stomped his foot heavily on the ground, cracking the floor tiles, and his body suddenly accelerated again.
He charged directly at Huo Feng for a second round. The massive Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon arm swung again, delivering another Lightning Dragon Claw with even more force than the first.
"Crack—!"
The result was the same as before. A thunderous roar boomed in the air, shaking the stage. After the flash of lightning and the rumble of thunder, smoke and dust scattered in all directions.
"Prairie Fire!"
Huo Feng realized that a stalemate would not work. In the next second, the Thunderclap Sword in his hand instantly transformed. The blue electricity vanished, replaced by a crimson glow as it became the Liehuo Sword. Blazing sword qi surged forth like a tidal wave. Releasing terrifying high temperatures that distorted the air, it blasted towards the charging Yu Tianheng.
Under the pressure of imminent danger, all of Yu Tianheng's potential erupted simultaneously. His second and third Spirit Rings shone brightly in quick succession. At this moment, he knew he could no longer hold back his true strength.
"Third Soul Skill—Wrath of Thunder!"
This skill was his trump card. For a certain period, it put the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master into a berserk state. During this time, his lightning power would increase by one hundred percent, and his Spirit Power would increase by fifty percent! If he did not actively stop the skill, it would continue to burn until his Spirit Power was completely exhausted.
However, each activation of Wrath of Thunder itself consumed a large amount of Spirit Power instantly, creating a considerable burden on the body. Therefore, if he were not in a crisis, Yu Tianheng would never release his Third Soul Skill so easily. Being forced to such a state by Huo Feng's Second Soul Skill was a testament to his opponent's strength.
Yu Tianheng clearly realized the gap between himself and Huo Feng was smaller than he thought. But just as the Wrath of Thunder erupted, crimson flames suddenly struck Yu Tianheng's chest. Although his speed was very fast, allowing him to dodge one strike from the Liehuo Sword, there was still a second one following close behind.
Yu Tianheng let out a painful roar. After enduring one solid hit, his body forcibly twisted in the air to maintain balance. He then turned to face Huo Feng, who had already flashed forward and was charging over for a follow-up attack.
"Thunderbolt!"
The countless serpentine lightning bolts coiling around Yu Tianheng's body magnified at the same time, fueled by the berserk state. In the next moment, they transformed into countless lightning arrows, flashing out in all directions like a storm.
Excluding his Fourth Soul Skill, which he had not yet released, this was Yu Tianheng's true full-power attack. With the one hundred percent lightning power increase provided by the Wrath of Thunder, his Second Soul Skill, Thunderbolt, unleashed unparalleled attack power.
The explosion of lightning forcibly shattered the third wave of Liehuo Sword qi immediately. Unimpeded, most of the lightning arrows formed by the Thunderbolt screamed through the air, flying straight towards Huo Feng.
