The match officially began.
A dragon's roar burst from Yu Tianheng's mouth. A dazzling blue light suddenly flared from his forehead, then spread across his body. Strands of blue-violet lightning, like tiny serpents, slithered and crackled around him. On the surface, Yu Tianheng's transformation didn't look dramatic—apart from a lightning mark appearing on his brow—but one part of him had changed far more thoroughly than any other Beast-type Soul Master present.
It was his right arm. His sleeve shredded into ash as the arm expanded in size, lengthening by half a foot. It thickened, covered in blue-violet scales, his hand turning into a claw wrapped in lightning. Every joint swelled with power, arcs of lightning coiling and darting over his arm. His three Spirit Rings—two yellow and one purple—didn't circle his body like most Soul Masters', but instead wound tightly around this mutated arm.
Qian Renyue studied the change in Yu Tianheng's body. As the second young miss of Spirit Hall, she had been educated in Martial Soul theory since childhood. Being one of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Martial Soul was one she had studied particularly closely.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon differed from most Martial Souls. For one, its users could only obtain Spirit Rings from sub-dragon species of spirit beasts.
Starting from rank thirty, each new Spirit Ring would cause the Soul Master's body to take on an increasingly dragon-like form. Yu Tianheng's current transformation—his right arm—was the first stage of that progression. By the time a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master reached rank seventy, they could completely transform into a dragon, releasing terrifying power that made them the most formidable among power-attack Soul Masters of the same level.
Qian Renyue remembered what her Second Grandfather once said: if he and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Old Dragon King were of equal rank, even his Golden Crocodile King might not win. Among Beast-type Martial Souls, dragons reigned supreme. Legends even claimed that dragons could ascend to godhood on their own—after all, the God Realm itself had a Dragon God.
Behind Yu Tianheng shimmered a green light. Dugu Yan, with green hair and emerald eyes, pressed close to his back. Her movements became sinuous and fluid, her upper body swaying slightly, her gaze sharp and cold, devoid of human emotion.
A green rhombus-shaped scale appeared on her forehead, while her legs fused into a thick serpent tail that supported her as it swayed. Like Yu Tianheng, she too bore the perfect configuration of two yellow and one purple Spirit Ring.
Not far behind Qian Renyue stood Ning Rongrong, summoning her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which floated lightly in her palm. She didn't activate her support skills immediately.
Yu Tianheng leapt forward. His first Spirit Ring flared as his Thunderclap Dragon Claw condensed and struck downward toward Qian Renyue, the air distorting from his overwhelming strength. Qian Renyue instantly switched her Dragon Chanting Sword into heavy-sword mode to block the blow.
The moment she changed her weapon's form, Ning Rongrong's second Spirit Ring lit up.
"The Seven Treasures are wondrously exquisite.The Seven Treasures' second is—Strength!"
Even with years of strict training, Qian Renyue still found herself straining under the crushing force of the dragon claw. As an auxiliary-type Soul Master, her body couldn't compare to a top-tier power-attack Soul Master's physique.
While she resisted Yu Tianheng's strike, Dugu Yan darted forward, her serpent tail whipping toward Ning Rongrong.
In previous matches, opponents had tried this tactic—splitting them apart and striking at the support first—but Ning Rongrong had always been perfectly shielded by Qian Renyue. This time, however, Qian Renyue was fully occupied.
Just as Qian Renyue noticed Dugu Yan's approach, Yu Tianheng's third Spirit Ring blazed with light.
"Third Spirit Ability—Wrath of Thunder!"
Wrath of Thunder sent the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master into a temporary berserk state, doubling his lightning power and increasing his spirit power by fifty percent.
Already struggling to defend, Qian Renyue was forced further back, unable to protect Ning Rongrong.
Dugu Yan smirked at the sight, tail snapping toward the young support master."It's over."
But Ning Rongrong's light steps shifted gracefully—she dodged the tail with delicate precision. Dugu Yan's eyes widened in shock. How did she evade that? Gathering more spirit power, she attacked again.
Ning Rongrong stopped channeling assistance to Qian Renyue and focused entirely on dodging. Though perilous, her movements were nimble, each narrowly avoiding the serpent's strikes. Blow after blow, the two drifted toward the edge of the stage, away from the central duel.
Just as Dugu Yan grew frustrated that she still hadn't struck Ning Rongrong down, the first tier of the pagoda glowed.
"The Seven Treasures are wondrously exquisite.The Seven Treasures' first is—Speed!"
At the same moment, Qian Renyue switched the Dragon Chanting Sword into light-sword mode. With Ning Rongrong's speed boost enhancing her, she darted toward Dugu Yan like silver lightning.
"Yan Yan!" Yu Tianheng shouted, alarmed, but his speed couldn't compare to the boosted Qian Renyue.
Dugu Yan tried to dodge, but not fast enough—the blade slashed several deep cuts across her body.
"Second Spirit Ability—Jade Scaled Blue Venom!"
Dugu Yan hastily used her second ability to numb her body and lessen the pain.
Unable to withstand the flurry of swift sword strikes, she retreated rapidly toward Yu Tianheng.
"First Spirit Ability—Thunderclap Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianheng lunged again, claw slamming down where Qian Renyue stood—but she blurred aside in a flash, dodging deftly.
"Yan Yan!" Yu Tianheng caught the wounded Dugu Yan in his arms, anger flashing in his eyes at the sight of her injuries."Yan Yan, step back. Let Lingling heal you. Don't worry—I'll win this."
"Tianheng, I'm fine. I still have my third Spirit Ability. We'll win together. Don't worry about me."
"Elder sister," Ning Rongrong whispered, "they seem like lovers. Dugu Yan's hurt, and Yu Tianheng looks furious."
"Keep fighting," Qian Renyue replied softly. "We can check on them after the match. Be careful, Rongrong."
The two sides clashed again. Despite lacking offensive techniques, Qian Renyue's defense was near flawless—she had sparred daily with a Sword Douluo, after all.
Yu Tianheng couldn't find a single opening, while Qian Renyue occasionally countered with sharp strikes whenever a flaw appeared. The battle reached a deadlock.
Then Yu Tianheng's second and third Spirit Rings shone together.
"Third Spirit Ability—Wrath of Thunder!Second Spirit Ability—Heaven-Shaking Thunder!"
Heaven-Shaking Thunder was a large-area attack, and under the Wrath of Thunder's amplification, Qian Renyue couldn't break free from its range.
Yu Tianheng's lips curved into a thin smile. Instead of pressing his attack on her, he suddenly turned and charged toward Ning Rongrong.
"First Spirit Ability—Thunderclap Dragon Claw!"
He struck toward Ning Rongrong. She tried to dodge—but she stood at the very edge of the Heaven-Shaking Thunder's range. Though unharmed, her body was paralyzed by the residual lightning. She couldn't move, only watch helplessly as the dragon claw descended upon her.
"Rongrong!" Qian Renyue's cry tore through the air.
In the VIP viewing room, Ning Fengzhi gripped his seat's armrests tightly, his expression tense. Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin had already begun gathering his spirit power—ready to intervene if needed.
