Chapter 113: Battle of Yu Tianheng (Part 2)

Starting from level 30, every time a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master obtains a Soul Ring, their body becomes more dragon-like when using their martial soul.

Like Yu Tianheng's right arm right now, it is the first change to his limbs.

Upon reaching level 70, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master can truly transform into a dragon, erupting with extremely terrifying power, and is hailed as the most terrifying Assault System Beast Spirit Spirit Master of the same level.

Although limited to Beast Spirits, its power is also very formidable.

The martial soul system of Douluo Continent can be considered quite interesting.

On one hand, if the power system of Douluo Continent didn't perform so weakly—such as weapons weighing 108,000 jin being able to beat up a group of Title Douluo, or only being able to blast open a city gate with a full-force strike when reaching the god level—that would be one thing.

This manifestation of combat power is perhaps the same as in the mythological classics like "Journey to the West" from Ning Feiliu's past life.

But it still performs too weakly; the so-called divine artifact Sea God Trident could be lifted by a crane from his past life, which is very disappointing.

If it weren't for the fact that the final combat power of the martial soul system is too low, it would actually be very interesting.

The existence of martial souls allows cultivators who are just stepping onto the path of extraordinary cultivation to naturally possess powerful combat strength.

Because they do not need to rely on external objects, their own martial soul is their reliance in battle.

For those with good martial souls, such as Tool Spirits like the Clear Sky Hammer, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, or Seven Kill Sword, it is equivalent to starting with a sustainable, upgradeable divine weapon.

And Beast Spirits are even more monstrous; they can transform into a unique "Beast Spirit form," and the enhancement given by the morphological change is far better than that of Tool Spirits.

Furthermore, these martial souls cannot be stripped away, unlike the immortal artifacts or divine artifacts of other worlds that can change owners at will.

Therefore, setting aside the overly low combat power, the martial soul system is much more useful in the early and middle stages than the extraordinary paths of other worlds.

Especially for Beast Spirit Spirit Masters, Spirit Possession in the early and middle stages can increase their various attributes by a large margin!

However, the Spirit Possession of a Beast Spirit Spirit Master does not truly turn a person into a wild beast, or rather, even turning into a half-orc is not very realistic.

It can only be that a part of the exterior is covered with appearances like fur, sharp claws, or cat ears; in reality, the sharp claws of a Beast Spirit Spirit Master are still human hands, not the claws of a beast!

But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the direct-line martial soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, is different.

He can truly dragonize a part of his body!

This was also Ning Feiliu's first time seeing the changes of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, and he looked at that dragon claw of Yu Tianheng's with genuine interest.

To think... it can actually reach this degree; the entire arm shows not a trace of humanity, as if it were truly the arm of a young dragon that had been severed and then grafted onto Yu Tianheng's hand...

It is completely filled with a strange sense of dissonance!

It is a pity that although this dragon claw is full of a domineering and mighty aura, it still lacks a hint of divine charm.

"It is an incomplete dragon after all, far from a true divine dragon," Ning Feiliu shook his head and said.

A dragon like this... is more like the evil giant lizards of Western dragons, rather than the divine, holy dragons of Eastern legends.

"An incomplete dragon?" Although they were far apart, Yu Tianheng still heard Ning Feiliu's whisper.

He was instantly enraged and sneered, "Let me see what skills you have to dare to spout such nonsense about my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's martial soul here!"

It was just that the one-minute time limit for summoning a martial soul had not yet passed, and Ning Feiliu had not yet summoned his, so he could not rashly make a move and break the rules.

"Summon your martial soul!" he said coldly, "Let me show you the power of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul!"

"Don't misunderstand, I wasn't trash-talking you just now; I was just stating a fact," Ning Feiliu said with a calm expression, "But regardless... I hope you can make me... enjoy myself!"

"Moonlight Power!" Two streams of light streaked from his body, and two peculiar martial souls appeared.

One was dark and silent, like an ominous black full moon.

The other was clear blue like a sea of stars, dazzling and magnificent, yet carrying a blinding, scorching heat.

At the same time, from beneath his feet, one yellow and two purple Soul Rings, violating common sense, appeared circling around him.

"It has appeared, the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon," Tang Yuehua said with a smiling face inside the private room.

Shuang Lan looked at the two martial souls below and exclaimed first, "This is... Twin Spirits?!"

She had never come to watch Yafei's Spirit Fighting Battle before, so naturally, she had never known about the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, and like everyone else who saw it for the first time, she misunderstood it as Twin Spirits.

"And these Soul Rings... two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings?!" Shuang Lan stared wide-eyed as she looked at the three Soul Rings, two of which were Thousand-Year Spirit Rings.

"This is not Twin Spirits; although it looks very similar, it is actually a unique five-in-one martial soul, though the Soul Rings are indeed two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings," Tang Yuehua said with a light chuckle.

"Five-in-one?" Shuang Lan frowned, no longer fixated on Ning Feiliu's peculiar Soul Rings, and asked, "What does that mean?"

"Just like some twin-blade or twin-sword martial souls that have appeared in history, this is actually equivalent to five weapons coexisting as one martial soul," Tang Yuehua said, "It's just that the number of martial souls is indeed a bit too many."

"So that's how it is." Hearing Tang Yuehua's explanation, Shuang Lan finally understood what this Crescent Moon Divine Weapon five-in-one martial soul meant.

"Even in the academy library, which records various martial souls from Douluo Continent over ten thousand years, I have never heard of such a martial soul appearing," though she understood, she still couldn't help but complain, "This is too monstrous, five different... weapons as a martial soul?"

As the vice-captain and strategist of the current first team of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, she was knowledgeable, but she had never heard of such a thing.

"History is just the dust of the past; although it was once a bright star, it cannot radiate the starlight of the future," Tang Yuehua said with a smile, "Shuang Lan, your cultivation is higher than mine, but why do you always focus on the past?"

Hearing these words, Shuang Lan was lost in thought and said, "Yes... the development of Douluo Continent changes with each passing day; I was too conventional to measure the present with past history."

"But Aunt Yue, I heard you say he has five of these martial souls? But he only has two in his hands right now."

"The Crescent Moon Divine Weapon martial soul; what you see currently are Falling Brightness and Firefly Flame. He has three other Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, which are Severing Soul, Folding Mirror, and Passing Jade," Tang Yuehua said with a smile, "It's just that his martial soul seems to have a shackle, unable to be used simultaneously or switched freely; only at specific times can he change to a new martial soul."

"But the names of his martial souls... Falling Brightness, Firefly Flame, Severing Soul, Folding Mirror, Passing Jade—not a single word is 'moon', yet they all make one think of moonlight. What... wonderful literary talent!"

Tang Yuehua narrowed her eyes again and said with a smile, "This is indeed good material for my Moon Pavilion."

Shuang Lan felt a bit helpless, thinking that if someone with such powerful strength and talent joined the Moon Pavilion to be a performer... that would truly be a waste of his talent.

And while they were talking, on the Douhun Platform below, Ning Feiliu and Yu Tianheng had already moved!

Ning Feiliu and Yu Tianheng moved almost at the same time.

A blue light flashed, and the thick dragon arm shimmered with a brilliant blue luster under the lights of the central Soul Fighting Arena. Before the person arrived, blue lightning had already condensed into a claw shape in mid-air, rushing straight toward the position where Ning Feiliu had originally been.

But Ning Feiliu was also moving, only... he was not rushing toward Yu Tianheng, but quickly stepping to the right!

He did not wait for Yu Tianheng's attack to arrive before moving away; he stepped out of Yu Tianheng's attack range first.

At the same time, a dark purple light wave spiraled in the air and landed precisely on Yu Tianheng!

Yu Tianheng was caught off guard and hurriedly raised his dragonized right hand, covered in thick scales, to directly tank this counterattack from Ning Feiliu!

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Dense, dark purple light waves landed on the blue dragon scales, emitting a sound like war drums!

Blocked!

But at the same time, Yu Tianheng felt his body become much heavier; gravity... had changed.

It was an increase of almost forty percent more gravity than before, which also meant that if he did not erupt with greater power, his speed would be reduced by forty percent.

Crescent Moon Divine Weapon—Zhuiming's inherent gravity enhancement effect was similar to the original enhancement effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, both depending on Ning Feiliu's current major soul power rank plus ten percent.

"No wonder Yufeng was defeated back then." This thought flashed through Yu Tianheng's mind.

Under the condition of gravity being increased by forty percent, plus Yufeng having been heavily injured by Ning Feiliu's Eagle Eye Third Soul Skill, his pride and joy—his speed—would not be able to be fully unleashed.

The key was that Ning Feiliu's speed was also beyond his expectations.

Yu Tianheng had roughly understood the different Crescent Moon Divine Weapon effects of Ning Feiliu beforehand; besides the different attack methods, there was also the fact that when Ning Feiliu held different Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, he would display different abilities.

For example, Zhuiming, in the eyes of outsiders, naturally slows down the opponent.

They did not know that Zhuiming also had the ability to increase Ning Feiliu's own physical defense; after all, this kind of defense enhancement is rarely intuitively reflected in battle.

In reality, when Ning Feiliu faced opponents with soul power several levels higher, Zhuiming's defense enhancement allowed him to withstand many attacks.

Then there was Copper Arm, which would increase Ning Feiliu's speed to a certain degree, which is something that can be seen very intuitively in battle.

Aside from these, Folding Mirror, Soul-Breaking, and Eagle Eye, representing Mental Amplification, Strength Amplification, and Strength Amplification, were also difficult to intuitively reflect from battle, and thus were unknown.

Yu Tianheng had long since figured that when Ning Feiliu used Zhuiming and Eagle Eye, his speed would not be very fast.

That was why he had just thought of immediately using the impressive speed of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul to quickly close in on Ning Feiliu and inflict damage!

But he hadn't expected that even without using Copper Arm, Ning Feiliu's speed would be this fast?!

This made him miscalculate somewhat.

At the same time, Zhuiming's attacks carried a gravity-increasing effect, making it somewhat difficult for him to lift his head.

Since normal attacks wouldn't work, then...

The first soul ring at his feet flashed with light without a sound, "First Soul Skill! Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng's soul power erupted, and the lightning bursting from his right hand collided with the dense Zhuiming light waves that were enveloping him, directly annihilating each other into nothingness.

It was this momentary opportunity that allowed the lightning on his right hand to manifest, and he roared as he tore toward the direction where Ning Feiliu was.

Like a furious azure lightning, it detached from his dragon-transformed right hand, turning into a ferocious dragon claw, charging toward Ning Feiliu in the distance.

Wherever it passed, the air twisted violently, erupting with a heart-palpitating crackling sound!

However, Ning Feiliu did not dodge or evade, but instead, the soul ring at his feet also lit up...

"Eagle Eye... Second Soul Skill!" A detached voice emanated from beneath the mask, accompanied by moonlight flickering on his body; in an instant, the blue lightning and moonlight exploded together, distorting the words that followed.

"... Star-Moon Fireworks!"

A huge explosion permeated the entire Great Soul Arena, but it could not damage the Great Soul Arena in the slightest.

After all, the material here could withstand battles between Soul Emperors.

Although Ning Feiliu and Yu Tianheng's martial souls were strong, they could not reach the level of destructive power of a Soul Emperor at the Soul Elder level.

But... the light from the explosion of lightning and moonlight was like a thousand light bulbs gathered on the Great Soul Arena, making it hard for people to open their eyes.

Yu Tianheng felt as if his eyes were blinded, unable to see the scene before him at all.

But just at this moment, the hair on his body suddenly stood on end!

Then he immediately wanted to roll away from his spot!

Even if it was a bit ungraceful, he didn't care.

But...

"Zhuiming! First Soul Skill!"

"Earth Frost Dark Erosion!"

Instantly, the terrifying gravity was like countless invisible hands, grabbing him tightly in place!

"Third Soul Skill!!!"

In almost an instant, Yu Tianheng activated his Third Soul Skill, "Thunder Fury!"

At this moment, a cluster of extremely dazzling blue lightning instantly erupted from his body.

Accompanied by a strong roar, he actually broke free from the binding effect of Earth Frost Dark Erosion in an instant!

This was precisely the powerful effect granted by his Third Soul Skill.

Thunder Fury, effect: For a certain period of time, it puts the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master into 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.

And every time Thunder Fury is activated, it consumes a large amount of soul power and places a significant burden on the body; if it weren't for being in a crisis, Yu Tianheng would never have released his Third Soul Skill so easily.

Only this time, he once again seemed panicked, blocking with his hands in front of him.

The next moment, Ning Feiliu's calm voice came, "God of Smelting..."

"...'s Summoning!"

Accompanied by a sound like shattering glazed tile, it seemed as if something had broken.

Then, the entire Spirit Fighting arena seemed to be ignited by flames, becoming incredibly hot!

After thinking it over, I decided to let the protagonist use this "Self-Created Spirit Skill" for the first time here.

The purpose is for nothing else but to show off.

However, the protagonist uses this because he wants to change his soul rings to improve his strength, because currently, if he wants to keep winning, he needs his strength to improve again.

Originally, I planned for Ye Lingling and the protagonist to be forced to use it only when facing particularly strong double-thirty-nine-level Soul Elders, but the protagonist's personality is not one that would only actively change when forced into a passive situation.

Before he encounters such an opponent, he should have considered this point and become stronger for it.
