Chapter 96: Bring Down the Dragon!

The crimson dragon that Liu Erlong transformed into surged with flames all around its body; each swing of its Dragon Claw carried scorching heat, and the air was warped by the burning.

The lightning on Yu Tianyun's body grew increasingly violent, exploding repeatedly, forming a thunder domain around Yu Tianyun.

Yu Tianyun's form was like electricity, darting through the gaps in Liu Erlong's attacks; with sharp eyes and perfect timing, a sudden punch of immense force slammed toward the crimson dragon's abdomen.

Liu Erlong displayed astonishing agility, twisting the massive body to narrowly evade the fierce blow, while the dragon tail swept across with a mountain‑crushing force, accompanied by a howling wind.

Yu Tianyun leapt upward, the Dragon Claws formed by both hands entwined with lightning, and slammed them down hard at the dragon tail.

"Crack!" A huge sound rang out, sparks flying where Thunder Dragon Claw struck the dragon tail. Liu Erlong winced in pain, let out an angry roar, and spewed an enormous flame from the mouth as if to incinerate the whole world, charging straight at Yu Tianyun.

Yu Tianyun clenched the right fist, lightning swiftly gathered on the knuckle, and unleashed a tremendously powerful Thunder Dragon Fist, resisting the raging flame's assault.

At this moment, Yu Tianyun's demeanor remained relaxed, clearly not feeling strained. He let out a loud shout, thunder power surged wildly through his body, and he raised a sword‑like finger; at his fingertip a dazzling Thunder Sword materialized. It was his self‑created soul skill, the Thunderclap Sword! Gripping the Thunderclap Sword, he thrust it fiercely toward Liu Erlong's dragon head.

A hint of solemnity flashed in Liu Erlong's eyes; with a sweep of the wings, the body instantly rose, deftly evading the fierce sword. Yet, how could Yu Tianyun easily let Liu Erlong go? He waved the Dragon Wings and pursued relentlessly.

The two engaged in a breathtakingly intense aerial duel, the Thunder Sword and Dragon Claws clashing repeatedly, emitting booming sounds. The ground below trembled under the impact of the overwhelming force.

Suddenly, Liu Erlong spun and spewed a thick, pillar‑like flame from the mouth; Yu Tianyun failed to dodge and was instantly engulfed by the fire.

But moments later, a bolt of lightning burst forcefully from the raging flames; although Yu Tianyun's body was slightly charred, the aura remained undiminished, standing in the sky like a war god.

Yu Tianyun's resistance to fire is extremely high, never fearing Liu Erlong's flame attacks, but the clothing could not endure, so just now Yu Tianyun fully activated soul power for defense, appearing somewhat disheveled.

As time passed, the battle grew fiercer; Liu Erlong had already exhausted all efforts, yet there was still no sign of victory…

About half an hour later, Liu Erlong's stamina waned, each attack becoming increasingly arduous. Yu Tianyun timed the moment, flashed forward, reached the hips of Liu Erlong's crimson dragon form, and the Dragon Claws, like iron tongs, firmly grasped the dragon tail; his arms bulged as he slowly lifted it.

A panicked expression instantly flashed in Liu Erlong's dragon eyes; Liu Erlong was already exhausted, and now the strength could not resist Yu Tianyun's overwhelming assault, only helplessly enduring the forthcoming attacks.

Yu Tianyun was seen holding Liu Erlong's robust dragon tail, the Dragon Wings on his back beating powerfully, forcibly dragging Liu Erlong into midair.

"Ah!" Yu Tianyun roared, the voice echoing through the clouds; while dragging the tail, he spun his body in the air, and after a breath, released the Dragon Claws, hurling Liu Erlong violently toward the ground.

"Boom~" A massive booming sound erupted from the ground, smoke billowed, obscuring the sky; after a long moment, the dust gradually cleared.

A huge crater appeared on the ground; its outline roughly matched Liu Erlong's martial soul true form, yet the crimson dragon that had been there was now absent.

A beautiful woman with a gray, dirt‑streaked face lay in the pit; a faint trace of blood lingered at the corner of her mouth, her hair disheveled, looking extremely disheveled.

Yu Tianyun's strike was measured; he did not employ any soul bone techniques, nor fully unleash his self‑created soul skill, focusing mainly on close‑quarters combat with Liu Erlong.

At this point, the qi and blood within Yu Tianyun had already settled.

Standing at the rim of the large crater, Yu Tianyun gazed calmly and deeply at Liu Erlong, saying, "Aunt, stop pretending; I know exactly how much force I used, at most it would cause superficial skin injury, it wouldn't make you faint."

Liu Erlong, seeing the ruse exposed, felt embarrassed to keep feigning faintness, slowly stood up, movements a bit sluggish, brushed off the dust, face flushed, glared at Yu Tianyun with a shy stare, saying nothing. At this moment she was mortified, having lost to a nephew not even half her age, which left her feeling utterly humiliated.

All her fury was vented; although the process was unpleasant, her mind had fully recovered, no longer like a mad old woman.

【7】 Yu Tianyun paid no mind to Liu Erlong's glare; after all, he had given her a good beating—how could he forbid her from being angry? That would be too overbearing.

Yu Tianyun didn't mind Liu Erlong's glare; after all, Yu Tianyun had given Liu Erlong a good beating, and wouldn't let Liu Erlong be angry? That would be far too overbearing.

He crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and said in a flat tone, "Now Aunt, you believe I can win the championship, right?"

Seeing Yu Tianyun's demeanor, Liu Erlong felt her anger about to reignite, but she quickly forced it out; she was outmatched, unable to defeat Yu Tianyun, and didn't want another needless beating from her nephew, yet she couldn't help shouting inside, "You little bastard, I'm so angry! I want to crush him, stomp his ugly face to pieces!"

Liu Erlong didn't want to see Yu Tianyun's smug look, so she turned her head aside.

But the scene that met her eyes made her chest flutter uncertainly.

Only then did she notice that her dwelling was completely altered, all destroyed; the entire pond had vanished, leaving only uneven craters and broken trees, a wreckage that made her heart ache instantly.

Yu Tianyun saw the change in Liu Erlong's expression, knew what she was thinking, and with an innocent face said, "Aunt, you can't blame me; you struck first."

Liu Erlong could no longer endure, intending to send Yu Tianyun away quickly, shouted, "You shut up! Yin Shu, arrange his enrollment paperwork!"

Yin Shu, hiding in the distance, hurried over and said, "Yes, Dean."

Yu Tianyun interjected, "Not only me, but also three of my companions wish to enroll."

Liu Erlong focused her gaze, noticing the distinguished Ning Rongrong and the big and small cats, then seemed to understand something, looked at Yu Tianyun with contempt, thinking, "Stinky kid, you'll die on a woman's womb sooner or later, phew! Disgusting!"

Then she turned to Yin Shu, saying, "Arrange their enrollment paperwork as well. And today you saw nothing!"

Sweat droplets the size of beans formed on Yin Shu's forehead, and he quickly replied, "Yes, Dean, I saw nothing."

Liu Erlong then nodded slightly, satisfied, and gave a soft "Hmm."

She then turned her head to Yu Tianyun, saying, "Stinky kid, why don't you leave quickly? I've already agreed to your enrollment; what else do you want?"

Yu Tianyun's face broke into a bright smile, "Thank you, Aunt. I hope we can spar more in the future."

Liu Erlong instantly became furious, snorted coldly, "Hmph, you little brat, don't get cocky. I'll soon advance to Soul Fighter soon; now—hey? You let me finish my sentence!"

Yu Tianyun ignored Liu Erlong's threat, turned around, and gracefully walked out with the group of women.

Watching Yu Tianyun's back, Liu Erlong stamped the foot hard, saying that in all these years she had never been so humiliated; Yu Tianyun was the first to dare beat her like this.

Now, large areas of her body ached, and she muttered inwardly, "You little brat, you have no sense of compassion, it's killing me!"
