Chapter 210: Dragon Transformation
As Feng Xiaotian was eliminated, the Thunder Team, which earned three points, was the first to qualify for the next round.
The fourth match today is the Tiandou Royal Team versus the Baiguang Team.
"Hahaha, you're the only one left? Why don't you just surrender."
"What do you have to fight us with?"
"Just surrender outright; don't waste our time."
Not even the Baiguang Team, even Zhao Tianhe watching from the arena, has much confidence in this.
"You used to swear you'd settle it on the arena, yet you couldn't even advance from the group stage," Yan said with contempt, mixed with a hint of delight.
Seeing Tie Li about to be eliminated by the Baiguang Team instantly swept away the earlier frustration.
"If he were on the main roster of the Tiandou Royal Team, perhaps his fate wouldn't be like this," Hu Liena said, puzzled.
According to her knowledge, the Tiandou Royal Team's main roster consists only of Soul Ancestors; there isn't even a Soul King. That sole Soul King, surprisingly, is not on the main roster but on the secondary team.
Moreover, the main roster members are clearly stronger—why choose the secondary team?
"I already said his teammates would be his weak point, and indeed they are," Xie Yue also expressed his view.
In the arena, almost no one had confidence in Tie Li.
Can he alone handle the Baiguang Team, which has two Soul Kings?
Even if the Baiguang Team were replaced by the Shenfeng Team, his solo strength would still make victory unlikely.
"You talk too much," Tie Li said coldly.
"Do you think you alone can take us on?" the Baiguang Team's Team Leader said coldly.
"If that's the case, we'll wipe him out first," Xiao Xin's eyes were filled with a teasing glint.
She was confident in her own strength; even in a one‑on‑one, she was sure she could eliminate Tie Li, let alone now that she still had teammates.
In a one‑on‑one, a Control-type Soul Master is the strongest, a fact universally acknowledged in the Soul Master World.
The referee glanced at Tie Li, saw no sign of surrender, and immediately declared the match started.
Compared with the Baiguang Team's display of martial soul and Soul Rings, Tie Li's side appeared far more solitary.
Two yellow, two purple, one black—five Soul Rings manifested on Tie Li, who clenched the Shaking Dragon Hammer in his hand, unusually refraining from launching an immediate attack.
"Zzzzz"
The Black Thunder suddenly went berserk, stirring Tie Li's aura into agitation.
The three Thunder Stone Seals on the hammer's shaft now emitted a terrifying aura.
"Roar"
From the Shaking Dragon Hammer came a deep dragon's roar, and with the emergence of dragon might, the Soul Masters in the Baiguang Team who possessed beast martial souls felt uneasy.
"What is he doing?"
"Stop the chatter; we'll eliminate him right away."
"Move quickly!"
Even the Baiguang Team's coach below the arena shouted a warning, sensing Tie Li's aura surging wildly.
Using the Thunder Stone Seals, he briefly lifted part of the Shaking Dragon Hammer's seal and summoned the power of the Yin Lei Demon Dragon King.
Tie Li's body began to undergo dragonization; his arms turned into black dragon claws, all attributes surged dramatically, achieving optimal affinity with Black Thunder.
"Roar"
Tie Li let out a low growl; this state cannot be maintained long, so he must finish the fight swiftly.
The First and Third Soul Rings lit up, further amplifying him.
"Bang"
The explosive crack split the air; the Baiguang Team's members didn't react in time, and Tie Li's figure already appeared beside a Speed‑Attack Soul Ancestor.
"The gap between us isn't just Soul Power Level."
As the words fell, the Speed‑Attack Soul Ancestor was hammered out of the arena by Tie Li, the spot struck by the Shaking Dragon Hammer dented.
"What?"
The Baiguang Team's Team Leader was startled; it wasn't that he didn't want to intervene, but he couldn't track Tie Li's movements.
Xiao Xin immediately wielded the Golden Toad Vine, attempting to restrain Tie Li; but the vine vanished before touching him.
"There is an insurmountable chasm between our martial souls."
"Boom"
Another Baiguang Team member was eliminated by Tie Li, severely wounded by a single blow, with no chance to resist.
At Fifty‑Seven Level Soul Power, unlocking part of the Yin Lei Demon Dragon King's seal and entering dragonization, even a Soul Emperor could be crushed by Tie Li.
"Stop right now."
Enraged, Xiao Xin released the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring again; a black sheen flared, delivering an instant area control.
She needed to restrain Tie Li to give her teammates a chance, but she underestimated him in his dragonized state.
"Trapped." The Baiguang Team's Team Leader said, as Tie Li's figure was confined within the Golden Toad Vine cage, no longer caring about soul power consumption; his Soul Rings flashed consecutively, unleashing his strongest strike, intent on delivering a heavy blow.
"Wait…" Xiao Xin sensed something was wrong; trying to stop it was already too late.
"Boom"
The Fourth soul skill, Thunder Rain!
Releasing Thunder Rain in this state heavily strains the body, but its destructive power is undeniable.
The Golden Toad Vine cage shattered instantly; clutching half of the Shaking Dragon Hammer's shaft, he aimed at the oncoming Baiguang Team.
Not only the Baiguang Team's Team Leader, but also the other members—aside from the Control-type Soul King—released their strongest soul skills, intending to pool their power to eliminate Tie Li in a single strike.
"Boom"
This collision generated such a massive disturbance that it affected the matches of the other groups.
Ah! Ah!
The Baiguang Team members let out a series of screams, their bodies bursting out of the arena; the referee and the Baiguang Team's teachers had to launch a rescue.
In dragon‑transformation state, Tie Li's wielding of the Thunder Dragon Hammer reached Soul Emperor Level, and Black Thunder grew even more ferocious, wildly corroding their defenses and soul power, which greatly increased the damage they suffered.
Pfft
Pfft
The Baiguang Team's Team Leader took the blow; although not eliminated, he was likewise heavily wounded. Under Black Thunder's corrosion, his clothes were torn to shreds, large patches of exposed skin turned blackened, the wounds grotesquely fierce, and he couldn't help spitting out a huge mouthful of Black Blood.
Another spurt of blood came from Tie Li; the power of the Yin Lei Demon Dragon King began to exceed his control, forcing him to forcibly activate a seal to block the Yin Lei Demon Dragon King's power.
Again, using the Thunder Stone Seal, he activated the seal; under such a burden, Tie Li spat out bright red blood.
Sizzle
Threads of Black Thunder flickered within the fresh blood, and in an instant the blood evaporated under Black Thunder's corrosion.
Looking up, only two members of the Baiguang Team remained: the gravely wounded Baiguang Team Team Leader and a fully intact Control-type Soul King.
That's enough!
To deal with these two, I don't even need the dragon‑transformation state; it's enough to handle them.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is your martial soul's special ability, right? But such an ability comes at a cost; at this moment, your condition must be affected;
Let me guess, how much of your strength can you still unleash?"
Seeing Tie Li spitting fresh blood and shedding the dragon‑transformation state, Xiao Xin's mouth twitched into a slight smile.
