Chapter 195: Thunder Douluo vs Haotian Douluo!
"Tianlin, are you alright?"
After forcing Tang Hao back with a spear of lightning, Yu Yuanzhen turned into a bolt of light and flashed in front of Yu Tianlin, checking him from head to toe.
"I'm fine," Yu Tianlin replied at once. "I was planning to use my Spirit Bone skill to hold out for a while, but I didn't expect you to arrive this fast, Grandpa."
Yu Yuanzhen had always been at ease letting Yu Tianlin move alone, precisely because Tianlin possessed a Spirit Bone that allowed him to travel at extreme speed. As long as Yu Tianlin sent out a distress signal anywhere on the Douluo Continent and used the Space Sacred Dragon Spirit Bone to buy time, Yu Yuanzhen could rush over. Tianlin's safety, in theory, was never a problem.
But this time, it was still a bit too fast. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was far away, yet Yu Yuanzhen arrived before Yu Tianlin even had the chance to use the second skill of his Space Sacred Dragon Spirit Bone.
Yu Yuanzhen answered simply, "Because I was already nearby."
Yu Tianlin was confused for a moment, then quickly understood. His grandfather was most likely here because of Yu Xiaogang, so he either wasn't in the clan at all, or was staying somewhere close. That was why he could arrive in an instant.
"Enough." Yu Yuanzhen's gaze locked onto the black robed figure in the distance. "Did he see your Spirit Bone?"
Yu Tianlin nodded. "He saw it, but…"
"Then he must die." Yu Yuanzhen's eyes turned cold, killing intent flashing like lightning. He didn't even wait for Yu Tianlin to finish. "You rat who hides your head and tail."
Yu Tianlin was momentarily speechless.
The mighty Clear Sky Douluo was being scolded like a coward by his grandfather, and from the look of it, Yu Yuanzhen truly intended to kill him.
Once Yu Yuanzhen made up his mind, he held nothing back. A vast wave of Spirit Power erupted from his body, and ring after ring rose into the air, 2 yellow, 2 purple, and 5 black, a full 9 Spirit Rings. Without hesitation, he activated his seventh Spirit Ring and unleashed his Martial Soul True Body.
Lightning flashed.
Yu Yuanzhen's body swelled rapidly, dragon wings unfolding from his back as he transformed into a blue purple dragon over 100 meters long.
"Tianlin, use your Spirit Bone skills to protect yourself," a voice like muffled thunder rumbled from the giant dragon. "I won't be able to watch over you."
Those fierce dragon eyes fixed on Tang Hao.
Yu Yuanzhen was about to strike, but Tang Hao spoke first.
"I didn't expect to see Senior Lei Ting again, under these circumstances."
As the words fell, a small hammer appeared in Tang Hao's right hand, then instantly expanded, floating behind him like a mountain shadow. Spirit Rings rose one after another, 2 yellow, 2 purple, 4 black, and 1 red. That final red Spirit Ring released a pressure so heavy it could faintly contend with Yu Yuanzhen's might.
"That voice!" Yu Yuanzhen had already felt it was familiar. Now, seeing the enormous hammer and the 9 Spirit Rings, he recognized him immediately. "The Clear Sky Hammer, a 100,000 year Spirit Ring… you're Tang Hao!"
"Senior Thunder, it's been a long time." Tang Hao lifted his hood, revealing the face that had been hidden beneath the black robe.
"Tang Hao, it really is you!" Yu Yuanzhen's fury only surged higher. "You dared attack Tianlin! Does your Clear Sky Clan have no rules at all?"
Among the Three Upper Clan, there had always been an unspoken boundary. Powerful figures did not casually move against the disciples of the other clans. Tang Hao had stepped over that line.
"I'm no longer a member of the Clear Sky Clan," Tang Hao said calmly. "Besides, I never intended to harm this little guy."
"Save it. There's no point talking." Yu Yuanzhen's voice was icy. "If you want war, then we fight."
"Fine." Tang Hao's tone did not change. "If you want war, then let it be war."
"Good. Good. Good!" Yu Yuanzhen's killing intent exploded. "Since you're not a Clear Sky Clan anymore, then die!"
A dragon claw wrapped in violent lightning slammed down toward Tang Hao. Compared to the 100 meter dragon, Tang Hao looked tiny, not even the size of a single claw, as if he could be crushed into paste in an instant.
But that was only the surface.
Tang Hao was not someone who could be killed that easily.
"Good!" Tang Hao stared at the incoming claw without the slightest fear. With a roar, he activated his seventh Spirit Ring as well. Black light surged, and the Clear Sky Hammer behind him expanded wildly, like an inflated giant, stretching to over 100 meters. The hammerhead was like a small mountain.
Yu Yuanzhen's Martial Soul True Body turned his entire form into a dragon that was over 100 meters long.
Tang Hao's Haotian True Body made his hammer over 100 meters long as well.
In other words, the Clear Sky True Body was the same scale as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon True Body.
Dragon claw and giant hammer collided.
For an instant, the world went silent.
Then an earthshaking boom erupted. A violent shockwave and gale blasted outward from the point of impact. Even with Yu Tianlin's strength, standing far away, he nearly lost his footing to the wind.
If he had been at the center of that collision, he wouldn't have been able to endure it without triggering the life saving skill of his head Spirit Bone.
The scene reminded Yu Tianlin of his recent trip to the Star Dou Great Forest. The Titan Giant Ape's light sphere strike had carried a similar level of terror.
"So this is what a true powerhouse looks like." Yu Tianlin watched with unconcealed envy. "I'm still far behind. When will I reach that level?"
But his eyes quickly steadied.
"No rush. I'll cultivate hard. The gap looks huge, but I can catch up faster than anyone thinks."
The wind gradually faded. Tang Hao's unrestrained laughter echoed across the grove.
"As expected of a clan leader. Your strength really is terrifying."
Yu Yuanzhen's voice rumbled in reply, equally calm and equally heavy.
"That 100,000 year Spirit Ring really is extraordinary."
They had only clashed using their Martial Soul True Bodies, without unleashing any other Spirit Skills, yet neither gained an advantage. That outcome surprised them both.
It also reflected the difference between Beast Martial Souls and Weapon Martial Souls.
In the early stages, Beast Martial Souls held a clear advantage. They gave the user a powerful body and broad, comprehensive amplification.
But after reaching the Spirit Saint realm, that advantage could be overtaken by Weapon Martial Souls, because a Beast Martial Soul's power was spread throughout the body, while a Weapon Martial Soul's power was concentrated.
In this clash, even though both sides had activated Martial Soul True Body, Yu Yuanzhen was primarily striking with the power of a single dragon claw, while Tang Hao was meeting him with the full concentrated force of the Clear Sky Hammer.
