Chapter 102: Purple Electric Holy Light Kirin! Twin Stars? Come at me together!
Ning Yuan was not afraid; is it up to you, an ordinary disciple, to decide whether we are enemies? You brainless stupid dragon, he gave a light smile:
Alas, your words are mistaken; since your sect has set up a stage here, you surely wish to contend with heroes from all over and make the name of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon known.
But not all geniuses have deep pockets; it's inevitable that some prodigies are short of funds. Ning Yuan is willing to contribute generously, allowing geniuses to join this stage competition. Could it be that Brother Tianci set such a high entry fee because he lacks confidence in his own martial soul, hoping the crowd will be deterred by the cost?
Yu Tianci shouted with a cold face, "Ning Yuan, cut the crap here! Who doesn't know my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is the number one beast martial soul? Since you deliberately came to give money, I'll satisfy you—I want to see who dares to oppose my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
He wore all blue, his posture upright; a cluster of dazzling blue light rose from his forehead, a clear, pleasant dragon roar sounded, then the blue light instantly spread, descending from his forehead to his whole body, strands of blue-purple lightning like small snakes burst forth, wandering around his body.
On the surface, Yu Tianci's change isn't that great; aside from a blue lightning mark appearing on his forehead, his whole body only shows one change due to his martial soul manifesting.
The part that changed is his right arm.
Originally, the right sleeve tore to ash from the swelling of his right arm; the arm grew half a foot longer, the whole arm became extremely thick, covered in blue-purple scales, the hand turned into a claw, also covered in the same scales, each joint on the hand becoming extremely thick.
The blue-purple snake-like lightning coiling around his body continually condensed or flowed on his arm; the two yellow and one purple soul rings, instead of circling his body like a normal soul master, circled this specially altered arm.
His right claw transformed into a ferocious blue-purple dragon claw—this is the Dragon Transformation unique to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
A violent surge of soul power swept the arena; Yu Tianci said arrogantly:
Anyone at the Soul Elder rank who has the guts can come up and try me; however, soul master battles inevitably involve casualties, so if you happen to die under my claw, don't blame me for showing no mercy!
The previously eager melon‑eating crowd instantly fell silent; although there were still noises below the stage, no one dared to go up.
The Dragon Transformation skill of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Masters is unrivaled under heaven; these civilian soul masters watching the spectacle dare not step forward to court death—going up would truly be making an enemy of the number three sect under heaven.
Seeing no one below the stage dare to respond, Yu Tianci felt pleased and said to Ning Yuan:
"Since no one dares to go up, I think Lord Ning had better leave early, to avoid being ambushed in Spirit City."
Ning Yuan's face darkened: "What did you say! Do you have the guts to say it again!"
Behind him, Yu Tianheng, also dressed in blue, frowned dissatisfiedly; Elder Brother Tianci's words were too harsh, the reputation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is ruined—how can everyone in the family be more overbearing than the next?
He stepped forward, tugged at Yu Tianci's clothes, and said, "Elder Brother Tianci, you've gone too far."
Yu Tianci also realized that Ning Yuan was the son of Ning Fengzhi; he grunted, then made a perfunctory fist‑salute, his dragon claw conspicuously visible in front.
"I misspoke, Lord Ning, don't misunderstand—this isn't a threat; I'm also thinking of your safety. Anyone willing to step up may come forward."
Hearing this, someone below the stage scoffed, "With talk like that, who'd dare step on the stage? If you can't afford to play, don't play—you'll be laughed at."
Immediately others echoed, "Exactly, if you can't afford to play, why set up a stage? It's ridiculous."
Yu Tianci looked around, then coldly shouted, "Who just said that? If you've got the guts, come up and fight!"
The crowd instantly fell silent, heads lowered, no one speaking.
Yu Tianci showed a faint sneer, gestured with his hand, and said, "Lord Ning, please."
Ning Yuan's face was grim as he was about to step down when a pleasant voice reached him.
"Since Lord Ning is willing to contribute generously, I'd like to test whether the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul is really as strong as the rumors say."
Ning Yuan turned his head and saw a commotion in the watching crowd; the onlookers made way, and a few people walked over unhurriedly—the speaker was a white‑clad girl at the rear.
Meanwhile, some enthusiasts also recognized the few Qian Gu Feng Hua; they were quite famous in Spirit City, all genius soul masters of the Spirit Academy, living billboards of Spirit City.
Ning Yuan stared, thinking, "Damn, this girl is really hot—her looks really strike him."
Qian Renxue raised her head toward Ning Yuan on the stage and asked, "You just said you'd cover the entry fee—does that still count?"
"Of… of course, but Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Masters all gain Dragon Transformation after three rings; miss, please don't act rashly, or you might hurt yourself."
Qian Renxue's lips curled slightly; her exquisite brows and eyes bore an air of refined elegance as she walked straight onto the stage, crossing paths with Ning Yuan's figure, and said offhandedly:
"It's just a few worms—what's there to fear? If they truly thought they were strong, they wouldn't add an exorbitant entry fee, just making a laughingstock of themselves."
Yu Tianci narrowed his eyes, smiling falsely, "Miss, you have a big mouth—may I ask your name, which family are you from?"
Qian Renxue said, "Unaffiliated, I am Liu Tianlin; I've heard your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has a heaven‑born ninth‑level prodigy, Yu Tianheng. I am nine years old, also at one ring—dare you let him fight me?"
Below the stage, Tuoba Chen glared and tugged at Rui En's red hair.
"This little con artist also tricked me the same way in the Offering Hall back then! Ribbit! I don't want to remember!" The dying memories were attacking him.
Rui En got into the role quickly, dissatisfiedly pushing Tuoba Chen: "You're so annoying—if I lose my hair, watch out, I'll have Liu Tianlin beat you!"
Ling Kuang gave Qian Renxue a strange look: "This little girl really knows how to play."
Qian Gu Feng Hua went to the tavern to find Tian Yue and order dishes; Xue'er will surely be hungry after playing, so he went ahead to have the tavern prepare food.
On the stage, hearing Qian Renxue's words, Yu Tianheng—after all just a child—felt delighted beyond words, never expecting to be so famous.
He quickly stepped forward, imitating his elder brother Yu Tianci's recent fist‑salute: "I am Yu Tianheng, seven years old, martial soul Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, fifteenth‑level Strong Attack System Battle Soul Master."
Qian Renxue also returned the salute: "Liu Tianlin, nine years old, martial soul Purple Electric Holy Light Kirin, nineteenth‑level Strong Attack System Battle Soul Master."
Yu Tianheng stared; Purple Electric Holy Light Kirin—what a powerful martial soul! And at nine years old, nineteenth level—this girl's innate soul power might not be inferior to his! Yu Tianci muttered to himself, "Not good—there really is a prodigy not inferior to Tianheng appearing. In this stage setup, every Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon disciple is at the peak of their current realm; he himself is thirty‑ninth level in the three‑ring tier, and so on—even Yu Tianxin has seventeenth‑level soul power."
Only Yu Tianheng is different—he was personally selected by the sect leader to come, though his talent is the strongest, his soul power level is also the weakest.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul is indeed overwhelmingly strong, but only after completing the first bodily Dragon Transformation and Hidden Dragon Metamorphosis post‑three rings can it achieve that; before three rings, though still strong and ranked among top martial souls, when pitting physique against other top martial souls it is relatively weak.
Although the sect leader intended to temper Tianheng by bringing him along, this is still too early for Tianheng—if he loses, how would the sect bear the loss? Without Dragon Transformation, how could Tianheng resist a top prodigy? Yu Tianci interrupted them: "Wait! Miss Liu Tianlin, fighting Tianheng at nine is too much of an advantage for you? My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect still has a genius, Yu Tianxin, eight years old, seventeenth level—do you dare to spar with him?"
As soon as he said that, the crowd below burst into boos: "If you won't fight on the stage, what's Yu Tianheng doing up there?"
"What Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? I see it as a Blue Lightning Tyrant Worm—a bunch of cowards who only dare to bully ordinary soul masters; when they meet a true prodigy, they become impotent."
"Hahaha, brother, you're absolutely right!"
Yu Tianheng's face darkened with anger; he couldn't bear this mocking, dissatisfiedly saying, "Clan brother, what do you mean! Do you also think I can't beat her?"
Qian Renxue waved her hand impatiently.
"How petty—no wonder the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect can't produce a second Titled Douluo; let that so‑called genius and Tianheng come up together—I'll take on two, now you can relax, right?"
"You!" Yu Tianci's face turned green with rage; he snarled, "This is your own demand! Don't regret it! Tianxin! You also come up!"
Yu Tianxin walked out from backstage, his expression also grim; "When did the world‑shaking Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon need two people to team up against an opponent? Yu Tianci this waste, always bringing shame to the sect—once this is over and I return to the sect, I will surely file a complaint against Yu Tianci with the sect leader!" Yu Tianxin also saw Qian Renxue, but she had changed a lot over the past two years; he didn't recognize her as the Spirit Hall Young Master he had seen at the banquet earlier—when he was six he understood nothing, his early memories were fuzzy, and now he remembers nothing.
On the contrary, seeing Yu Tianxin, Qian Renxue instantly laughed—"Isn't this the clown from the Spirit Hall banquet two years ago?"
Qian Renxue suppressed her laughter and said, "Are you ready? Two great geniuses?"
Yu Tianheng shouted loudly, "Cousin brother! Today I want to fight her alone—you don't also want to gang up on a girl, do you?"
Yu Tianxin nodded, ignoring Yu Tianci's expression; this cousin's standing in his mind plummeted, and Yu Tianxin retreated on his own, he also had his own pride.
A lightning insignia lit up on Yu Tianheng's brow, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon possessed him, a yellow soul ring appeared beneath his feet, his physical quality rose sharply, but aside from the lightning-shaped light glowing on his brow, there was little change to his body.
Yu Tianheng's fighting spirit surged, "You also manifest your martial soul! Let me witness the might of your Purple Lightning Sacred Light Qilin!"
"As you wish."
Qian Renxue's left wrist "soul mark" lit up, and a majestic roar sounded.
Qian Renxue's pupils turned into golden vertical slits, her entire demeanor changed drastically, her fair and slender right forearm was wrapped in purple lightning serpents and pure white light flames, crystal clear like jade.
Subsequently, a splendid white armor covered Qian Renxue's right forearm, accompanied by a Qilin claw that enveloped her fingers and palm without blind spots! A purple soul ring circled her right arm.
The entire venue erupted in an uproar.
"A... a thousand-year first ring?! What kind of monster is this?"
"And this is similar to a dragon-transformation ability?! How is this possible, isn't only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul capable of dragon transformation? Or is it a martial soul that can dragon-transform with just one ring, how could such a perverse martial soul exist!"
Yu Tianheng's pupils contracted, his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was actually suppressed! This girl's martial soul quality is absolutely above his! What a terrifying martial soul! Yu Tianheng turned his head to look at Yu Tianxin, he felt a bit regretful, older cousin, why don't we still fight two against one? Facing dragon transformation, he truly has no confidence alone.
Qian Renxue gripped her cool right claw, tilting her head as she said:
"How? Are you scared? I can let you both attack together, anyway there's no difference."
"Don't look down on people! I am one of the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
Yu Tianheng snorted, the yellow soul ring beneath him lit up.
"First soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
This is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon sect's most favored first soul skill, a single-target attack ability that increases attack power by thirty percent before dragon transformation, and can be increased to a hundred percent after dragon transformation, with tremendous power.
This ability can be used for long-range attacks or to cover the hand with lightning's power, and when attacking it carries an extremely strong piercing effect.
A layer of purple tinged with lightning appeared in the depths of Yu Tianheng's eyes, under intense soul power fluctuations, a dragon claw of blue-purple lightning about a foot in diameter condensed and shot forth.
Qian Renxue did not retreat but advanced, her right hand's white Qilin claw entwined with purple lightning, giving a sense of oppression, she lightly swung her right claw, her right hand maintaining a half-grip posture.
Then five purple claw traces, each ten meters long, filled the space before her, lingering without dissipating.
Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw was instantly neutralized by it, and on the battle stage before him appeared five deep claw marks, each ten meters long, with purple lightning coiling along the ground.
Yu Tianheng was so frightened his legs went weak, he thudded to his knees, panting heavily, his body trembling, his eyes filled with unstoppable fear—just a little more, really just a little more and he would have died!
His lips were so dry it was horrifying, even swallowing saliva was difficult—could a one-ring soul master unleash such an attack? She didn't even use a soul skill, did she? That astonishing thousand-year first ring never even lit up; is this truly a heavenly pride? …He simply couldn't win…
"I... I, I surrender."
Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianci also stared at her in shock, seeing her demeanor, this attack was completely casual, not even using a first soul skill, what a terrifying martial soul—even though he is a thirty-ninth rank top-tier assault-system soul master, he couldn't block that claw just now.
His ultimate move is just their ordinary attack—what kind of monster is this!?
An instant kill in less than a second, in a flash the entire venue fell silent.
After a while, the audience below erupted in an uproar—indeed, a single encounter knocked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's most talented Yu Tianheng to his knees, this is too fierce!
Qian Renxue gripped her right claw, the purple lightning on her arm and the dozens-of-meters-long claw traces in the void instantly burst and exploded, then vanished into nothing.
"Since you've surrendered, then next—what was that genius's name again? Yu Tianxin? Come over, it's your turn; if I win, that'll be two million gold soul coins."
Yu Tianxin shuddered from fear, "What the heck," he didn't want to be killed by Liu Tianlin's claw, this monster, he helplessly looked at the astonished cousin beside him.
"Cousin, quickly think of a solution! He doesn't want to die!"
"Miss Liu Tianlin, please wait a moment."
Yu Tianci gritted his teeth and stepped forward; although this Soul Elder was actually a bit afraid, it's fine—there are Soul Emperor-level elders backstage watching over, her claw surely couldn't shatter a Soul Emperor, right?
Then let the elders snatch things back—that's just how cruel the soul master world is; the surname Liu, I've never heard of it, there's no prominent Liu clan, even a mutant martial soul no matter how strong is useless if she has no backing.
Yu Tianci ran backstage, receiving ten black cards and the sect's body-tempering method from the elder's icy gaze, he dared not meet the elder's eyes, jogging all the way back to the stage to hand them to Qian Renxue.
"Miss Liu Tianlin, you're joking; your talent is immense, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon feels inadequate by comparison. Besides, one person can only challenge once—please keep these ten black cards, each containing a hundred thousand gold soul coins, along with this body-tempering method."
Qian Renxue, seeing it was good to accept, picked up the items and happily left the stage, muttering as she walked.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon really is all brawn and no brains—no strength, why set up a stage? You just love causing trouble, but I still have to thank you for giving me money."
Yu Tianci only felt angry enough to vomit blood; the words he just said to Ning Yuan came back like a boomerang—damn it, let this little girl be smug for a while! Later I'll see how she cries! Speaking of which, this girl really is top-notch in looks; when the time comes, let Uncle Jingcheng spare her life—killing her would be too wasteful, I want to bring her back to enjoy her properly.
Ning Yuan responded proudly: "Exactly, Miss Liu Tianlin is right—no strength, why set up a stage?"
Afterwards he hurriedly chased after Qian Renxue's silhouette, "Miss Liu Tianlin, wait for me!"
Yu Tianci gritted his teeth and cursed, "Ning Yuan, this good-for-nothing, just got lucky with dogshit fortune, but now the stage's been overturned by someone, why are they still setting up a stage? He immediately packed up and left in disgrace."
When the three returned backstage, three blue-clad individuals waited with cold faces; they were respectively forty-ninth, fifty-ninth, and sixty-ninth rank Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul masters.
The three went straight to the eldest elder and knelt down on the spot.
Yu Tianci glanced at the anxious, fearful Yu Tianheng, sighing inwardly—after all, he's still just a child, unable to bear the sect's responsibility.
Yu Tianci then kowtowed heavily to Yu Jingcheng, gritting his teeth as he said: "Uncle Jingcheng, we lost—that girl is too monstrous! Not to mention Tianheng and Tianxin, even I couldn't block that claw; if you're going to punish someone, punish me—it's this cousin of mine who's useless, bringing shame upon the sect."
Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin stared blankly at this cousin who just acted all petty, feeling guilty—Yu Tianci treated them this way, yet just moments ago they had actually looked down on this cousin.
Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin also followed suit and kowtowed.
"It has nothing to do with the cousin—it's that Tianheng's strength is too weak! Tianheng will never be lazy from now on, will train hard, and will surely revive the might of our sect's number-one beast martial soul! Also, please Uncle Jingcheng don't punish the cousin!"
"Same here, Uncle Jingcheng—it's that Tianxin is too arrogant; if he had listened to the cousin's advice, the two of us together taking on Liu Tianlin might not have lost so miserably."
Yu Jingcheng watched the scene of fraternal harmony before him, his icy expression softened slightly—these juniors weren't bad.
Although Yu Tianci's cultivation talent wasn't as good as Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin's, he was still a promising young talent in the sect—at twenty years old he was already a thirty-ninth rank Soul Elder, and breaking through to the fortieth rank was imminent.
Although his temperament was a bit petty, his love for the sect and care for his younger cousins were no less than anyone's—otherwise the sect leader wouldn't have entrusted him with guiding the sect's most gifted twin stars.
Yu Jingcheng waved his hand, signaling them to rise, then said: "Alright, everyone get up—the sect head had you set up the stage precisely to temper your strength; if you can remember this humiliation and make a change, it won't be a total loss for the sect—Tianheng, Tianxin, remember what you said today."
"The sect head has high hopes for you two; a mere million gold soul coins is nothing—once you become Title Douluo, would you fear lacking money? Hurry up and grow strong, that's how you won't let down the sect's nurturing."
"Remember your identities—you are disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect; you are dragons! True dragons! How could you become dejected over a few external things? Train hard, wash away today's humiliation."
The three felt their blood boil, their hearts filled with reverence and protective feelings toward the sect.
Yu Tianci cautiously asked, "Uncle Jingcheng, about that girl, do you want to—" he made a throat-slashing gesture with his hand at his neck, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes.
Yu Jingcheng stared at him with the frustration of iron refusing to become steel; Yu Tianci's petty attitude simply cannot be changed! Without sufficient spirit, how can one break through to Title Douluo!
Yu Jingcheng sighed, forget it, let this kid become a Judgment Elder from now on; whether Tianheng or Tianxin becomes sect leader, the things those two cannot do can be handed over to Tianci.
He then shouted angrily: "Idiot! None of you may move that girl! Otherwise I'll break his dog leg! That child might be your clanswoman!"
What? A clanswoman! The three were startled.
Yu Tianci immediately excitedly asked: "Is this true? I've never seen this sister in the sect! She's so beautiful and strong, I would never forget if I'd seen her!"
Yu Jingcheng snorted, his gaze also softened.
That child says her name is Liu Tianlin; haven't you noticed she shares the same heavenly generation as you? Moreover, the ability to dragonify has always been unique to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon; outsiders could never possess it.
Ah, what nonsense Purple Electric Holy Light Kirin! That name is just something she randomly made up from her own name; I clearly see it as Purple Electric Holy Light Tyrant Dragon! This is definitely a mutant martial soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and a super martial soul mutating toward greater strength! Liu Tianlin, I will definitely bring her back to the sect to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan!
Anyone who dares to tell me that branch descendants cannot recognize ancestors and return to the clan, I'll immediately kill him! Even the sect leader can't stop me! 'Which bastard failed to control his lower half, fathering a child and not even bringing him back! This matter isn't over; once I report to the sect leader, I will definitely uphold justice for Tianlin! Such a fine child, just how much suffering has she endured outside the sect?!'
Yu Jingcheng eased his emotions, then finally said with a smile:
The appearance of this child Tianlin will surely let our sect reach its peak; truly heaven blesses our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon will finally have a true dragon emerge into the world! True dragon!
Upon hearing that the formidable Liu Tianlin who had just overwhelmed him might actually be his clanswoman, Yu Tianheng's suppressed feelings instantly vanished, and he couldn't help but rise a strange emotion.
Losing to a clanswoman of the same Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is nothing to be ashamed of, especially since Clanswoman Tianlin is so beautiful…
Yu Tianxin also thought of something, her face bearing a slight blush.
6400 oh, brothers, today we haven't done little. Asking for votes ah
