228. Chapter 226: Blue Electric Divine Dragon Rush!

"Nine‑tenth?" Huo Wushuang's eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help to think, "So that means he just now was almost at full‑power burst? And given this kid's status, strength, and his reckless personality, it should be the truth."

He suddenly felt he was still in the game, the advantage still on their side. Huo Wushuang concluded that Yu Tianyun used ninety percent of his power to instantly kill the Fire Leopard Soul Master, which must have cost a lot.

Therefore, to instantly kill Huo Wushuang, Yu Tianyun would have to use his full strength.

In that case, Yu Tianyun's consumption would be even greater, giving Huo Wu a larger chance to land a decisive move.

Huo Wushuang's eyes grew ever brighter; watching Yu Tianyun's dragon fist crackling with lightning, he felt a slight chill, yet his fighting spirit remained as blazing as a raging fire.

"All or nothing!" Huo Wushuang finally gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.

Yu Tianyun watched Huo Wushuang charging forward like a little tank, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He said that so casually, not expecting Huo Wushuang to actually believe it; Yu Tianyun thought his acting was pretty good.

But soon his expression tightened, becoming solemn, as if facing a great enemy.

His soul power flowed as if it cost nothing; he casually launched a Thunder Dragon Claw at each of the two Fire Crane Soul Masters, then charged at Huo Wushuang with fierce momentum.

The two Fire Crane Soul Masters had just used Crane Shadow to block the previous Thunder Dragon Claw; now seeing the claw strike again, its speed left them no time to dodge. With no choice, they repeated the old trick, expending massive soul power to unleash their Third Soul Skill while flapping their wings upward.

On the other side, Huo Wushuang finally collided head‑on with Yu Tianyun.

In an instant, lightning and flame erupted violently, and a series of booming explosions rang out.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Both transformed into humanoid tyrannosaurs, their attacks primitive and brutally raw, each punch landing solidly on flesh.

For a moment, their figures constantly interwove, the sounds of fists and kicks clashing rose and fell, stirring layers of scorching air around them that warped the view.

Nevertheless, the spectators were not troubled by the obstructed sight; each held their breath, daring not to make any sound, fearing to spoil such a spectacular duel.

The audience loves two combat styles: one is the flashy ranged skill duels, the other is the blood‑pumping melee. Especially this seemingly evenly matched melee, each punch sends their hearts racing.

"He's really tough as a horse!" feeling his numb hands, Huo Wushuang muttered in pain. Only he knew how terrifying Yu Tianyun truly was.

He had exhausted his strength, but his punches hitting Yu Tianyun felt like striking hundred‑fold tempered steel—no, even harder than that. At first the shock made his arms ache; later, with repeated blows and the numbing lightning, both arms went completely numb, his scales cracked, and blood gushed out.

And Yu Tianyun? As if nothing happened, his golden dragon scales still glittered brightly.

"I really don't know how he trains!" Huo Wushuang, while struggling against Yu Tianyun's iron fists, felt helpless.

Nevertheless, he wasn't discouraged; being able to briefly hold his own against a Soul Emperor‑level Dragon‑weapon martial soul master stronger than the Blue Electric Tyrannosaur was enough for him to be proud, even if the opponent wasn't using full force.

Yu Tianyun, while suppressing Huo Wushuang, found a moment to launch a Thunder Dragon Claw at the two airborne Fire Crane Soul Masters.

The two Fire Crane Soul Masters were willing but unable; they saw Huo Wushuang's predicament and wanted to help, but Yu Tianyun's intermittent Thunder Dragon Claws left them no energy to assist.

Of course, in their eyes they had already exerted great effort. By repeatedly forcing Yu Tianyun to use his soul skills, they caused massive soul‑power consumption. Even if they burned soul power faster than Yu Tianyun, they considered it a gain and had fulfilled the task Huo Wu gave them.

In their understanding, Yu Tianyun's Thunder Dragon Claw is a Second Soul Skill, but since Yu Tianyun is a Soul Emperor‑level powerhouse, the two would have to use their own Third Soul Skill, Fire Crane Clone, to block it—there was no other way.

In that brief moment, the sounds of flesh colliding, scales scraping, and energy explosions rose and fell incessantly.

Under such high‑intensity combat, the three's soul power was consumed wildly like a breached dam.

The two Fire Crane Soul Masters wavered in the air, seeming ready to fall at any moment. Huo Wushuang, having given up offense, held his fists up to his head, fully defending against Yu Tianyun's dragon‑fist barrage.

The three struggled desperately, but seeing Yu Tianyun panting heavily only strengthened their resolve to persist.

"Bad, the captain and the others are about to collapse," the Fire Star Soul Master far behind said anxiously, "Should we go help?"

"Keep feeding me energy," Huo Wu bit her red lips, eyes fixed on Yu Tianyun's heaving chest, speaking firmly, "Just a little more; Yu Tianyun has also spent a lot, he won't be able to block this move!"

The two Fire Star Soul Masters said no more, and could only endure the hardship with Huo Wushuang.

They understood that success or failure hinged on this moment and could not waste previous effort. Thus, their Third Soul Rings glowed brighter, continuously channeling amplified fire clusters into Huo Wu's body.

Meanwhile, Huo Wu's four Soul Rings kept pulsating, outputting soul power at full force; the white‑hot fire sphere above her head seemed to vie with the sun, shining ever brighter.

"It's about time," Yu Tianyun was weary, not physically but mentally.

He had been trying to restrain his power, fearing that a slip would unleash an unreasonable force that could injure several people at the Blazing Fire Academy.

Yu Tianyun didn't look back, but his spiritual power kept sensing Huo Wu's condition.

With the full support of the two auxiliary soul masters, and Yu Tianyun's deliberate easing, Huo Wu's Fourth Soul Skill had been charging for so long that it was nearing her limit, becoming extraordinary.

Yu Tianyun could clearly sense that Huo Wu's soul skill now far surpassed a typical fire‑type soul master's Fifth Soul Skill, even approaching a Sixth Soul Skill.

Originally, Huo Wu intended to just stroll with the girls from the Blue Tyrant Academy and concede, keeping this ultimate move hidden, but Yu Tianyun's actions felt insulting, sparking her already strong desire to win.

Thus, she decided not to hold back, determined to teach Yu Tianyun a lesson. Her martial soul is even several degrees stronger than the weakest true‑dragon martial soul like Huo Wushuang's, and her comprehension is extremely high; she is the only contestant this tournament capable of using the Ring Fusion Technique.

Ring Fusion, Great Sumeru Hammer, and Dust‑Heart's method of refining Soul Rings into the martial soul are three secret arts; their difficulty and the gains differ, yet the principles are similarly effective, all channeling energy from the Soul Rings to enhance oneself, the martial soul, or one's soul skill power.

Compared with Great Sumeru Hammer and Ring Refinement into Soul, the Ring Fusion Technique is simpler but yields a smaller boost; however, for a low‑tier Soul Sect like Huo Wu, it's already very hard, requiring extremely high control over one's own soul power to cultivate successfully.

This alone shows Huo Wu's talent is great.

If she also obtains a suitable celestial herb and the fates of Sea God Island, her achievements would certainly surpass those of Ma Hongjun in the original work!

Confident about defeating Yu Tianyun, Huo Wu couldn't help to imagine what she'd say when her foot lightly steps on Yu Tianyun's face later.

Unconsciously, a faint blush spread across Huo Wu's pretty face.

As the saying goes, insiders see the subtleties, outsiders watch the spectacle.

Although Huo Wu's looks are stunning and eye‑catching, most of the audience's attention was on the heated battle between Yu Tianyun and Huo Wushuang.

Only a few glanced toward Huo Wu, who was charging her ultimate move.

From the VIP seats, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but say, "Her fire power is restrained, with no outward waste. This Blazing Fire Academy girl is truly remarkable!"

"Indeed, it's impressive; achieving Ring Fusion at such a young age shows her mastery over her soul power, her future is limitless!" Yu Yuanzhen also nodded, repeatedly exclaiming.

Reaching such control at the Soul Sect Realm, Yu Yuanzhen even guarantees that if this girl stays on the right path, she will definitely become a Title Douluo! He is so certain because the crucial step to advance to Title Douluo is converting all soul power from gaseous and liquid states into solid form, which requires extremely high soul‑power control! "Indeed, each new wave surpasses the last." Yu Yuanzhen felt moved; after watching many days of matches, he saw many talents, especially yesterday seeing his grandson beat Tang Hao, making him feel his era truly ending. The younger Tang Hao is like a wave that crashes on the beach; so am I? Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wushuang, even Hu Yanli, in past tournaments, were rare geniuses with potential to break through to Title Douluo.

This is extremely rare in the history of the tournaments.

As for Feng Xiaotian, the "genius" with innate full soul power, he never crossed Yu Yuanzhen's mind.

Because he's not worth mentioning! Though he has innate full soul power and is 24, making him one of the oldest in this tournament, his soul‑power level is only a mere 44.

Sharp‑eyed Yu Yuanzhen instantly saw Feng Xiaotian had taken a wrong turn; otherwise, with innate full soul power, at his age he should have at least reached Soul King level.

And a Soul Master's greatest taboo is to waste precious years by taking a detour before the age of thirty, so he thinks Feng Xiaotian is most likely a failure! As for the others, if it weren't for his grandson, granddaughter‑in‑law, and great‑nephew being so outstanding, these people would definitely shine at this competition.

Yu Yuanzhen let out a slight sigh at that thought.

But then, for some reason, he suddenly burst into a foolish laugh, his gaze toward Huo Wu filled with kindness.

"Such an outstanding girl, that Yu Tianyun kid has probably already broken his focus on her. And that Shui Bing'er girl isn't bad either… Hehe." Yu Yuanzhen chuckled inwardly, believing he knew his grandson's temperament like the back of his hand.

Chen Xin and Dugubo also gave a slight nod, their faces appreciative as they looked at Huo Wu.

For such senior elders whose lives are already fulfilled, seeing outstanding juniors always brings an appreciative attitude, and on a whim they may even gladly impart guidance.

As for the other two on the VIP seats, they behaved differently. Saras's gaze was very somber, and no one knew what he was thinking. In contrast, the Snow Night Emperor was very calm, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes never leaving Yu Tianyun, his gaze filled only with admiration.

At this moment, Huo Wushuang, who was confronting Yu Tianyun, could no longer hold on.

His golden‑red uniform was completely torn apart, only a few blood‑stained strips hanging on him; the dragon scales conjured by the martial soul's embodiment were more than half shattered, and blood kept spilling out.

At the same time he unleashed three major augmenting soul skills, two of which were millennium soul skills; this not only made his soul power consumption rate terrifyingly high, but also placed a massive load on his body. That he has endured until now is solely due to his own steadfast will.

Yet even with such firm will, he could not help but close his eyes, because his body had already reached its limit.

However, Huo Wushuang was not alone; just as Yu Tianyun was about to finish him off, two crane cries sounded.

The two Fire Crane Soul Masters no longer lingered in the sky, but flew behind Yu Tianyun to launch their final attack on him.

"Fire Crane Clone!" the two shouted in unison, each of them forming a Crane Shadow on their bodies; the four silhouettes merged and suddenly slammed toward Yu Tianyun.

"Petty tricks, and you dare to play the axe at the master's gate?" Yu Tianyun snorted coldly, feeling these two were somewhat clueless.

Originally he thought the two were rather amusing, just drifting in the sky, so he planned to simply drain their soul power. He didn't expect them to, at this final moment, perform a 'moth to flame' for him.

"Crane Shadow, huh? Let me show you my Dragon Shadow!" Yu Tianyun couldn't help but get angry; he intended to return the blow in kind. He extended a Dragon Claw toward the two, and the fifth Soul Ring on his body lit up.

In an instant, electric arcs swirled over the golden dragon scales; the Entanglement of blue‑purple lightning quickly contracted, coalescing into a dazzling blue‑white glow, with strands of lightning snakes slithering along his arm, crazily converging into his palm.

In the blink of an eye, a blue little dragon about a meter long shot out from Yu Tianyun's palm.

The little dragon was extremely uncanny, its dragon eyes flickered, like a living creature, even letting out a yawn, with tiny currents of electricity spitting out with the sound of the yawn.

The audience on the spot were all captivated by the scene, their eyes widening, eager to see what marvel this little dragon possessed!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they might even suspect it was a real Blue Electric Tyrannosaur hatchling! Yu Yuanzhen felt the same, as if he'd seen a ghost; he could also perform this move, and not only him—about half of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaur Soul Masters whose soul power level exceeds forty can do it.

It is precisely the most common fourth soul skill of Blue Electric Tyrannosaur Soul Masters—Blue Electric Divine Dragon Rush! (End of chapter)
