Chapter 551: Lei Ming's Provocation

Yu Haotian admitted that Mo Tianheng was stronger than him, but fighting Mo Tianheng was extremely frustrating; Mo Tianheng didn't even make a decent counterattack, and all Yu Haotian felt was Heaven and Earth Power, with no trace of Mo Tianheng's own strength.

"My own power still isn't a match for you, so I can only contend with you this way. If you want a satisfying fight, I suggest you try Ye Liuyun!"

Mo Tianheng smiled and recommended Ye Liuyun to Yu Haotian.

Ye Liuyun's current Heaven and Earth Power isn't strong; most of his attacks still rely on his own strength, which should satisfy Yu Haotian.

Logically, Ye Liuyun's previous realm wasn't enough to contend with Yu Haotian, but Mo Tianheng has observed Ye Liuyun's growth.

Thus he estimates that, given Ye Liuyun's growth rate, he should now be at least not far behind Yu Haotian. Even if there's a slight gap, he will improve during the battle.

Considering Yu Haotian's warlike nature and his reputation for keeping his word, he wouldn't casually take lethal action against Ye Liuyun.

"Hahaha!"

Yu Haotian heard Mo Tianheng's recommendation of Ye Liuyun, let out a laugh, and then turned and left.

He thought to himself, "These two actually recommend each other. It seems Ye Liuyun's strength has earned Mo Tianheng's approval! The Cangyun Continent truly has such a figure, which is beyond my expectations!"

He now realizes that his title as the First Heavenly Pride is truly undeserved. There are people stronger than him; they just haven't competed with him. At least Mo Tianheng is one such person.

He can see that Mo Tianheng didn't attack him because he feared Yu Haotian would cling to Mo Tianheng, leading to an endless fight. Otherwise, given Mo Tianheng's use of Heaven and Earth Power, he couldn't possibly only defend without attacking.

As for Ye Liuyun, although he hasn't faced him yet, having defeated all the Heavenly Prides and attained a higher destiny, Yu Haotian cannot claim to be the First Heavenly Pride.

"Haha, interesting! Finally a worthy opponent!"

Thinking this, he felt not jealousy but joy.

He decided to wait near Ye Liuyun's cultivation spot; once Ye Liuyun breaks through, he can fight him, and he can also block anyone who might disturb Ye Liuyun's training, preventing delays.

The spectators outside the Secret Realm began to chatter again, commenting on Yu Haotian and Mo Tianheng's duel.

"What kind of background does Mo Tianheng have, to wield Heaven and Earth Power to such an extent?"

"When did Heaven's Son Mountain start producing disciples this strong?"

"Mo Tianheng clearly can defeat Yu Haotian! Why doesn't he go for the crown? Who exactly is this First Heavenly Pride?"

For a moment, everyone was saying everything, the discussion was chaotic.

Yao Xinghai observed Mo Tianheng inside the Secret Realm, and was puzzled.

"This youngster's behavior is too strange! His strength far exceeds Haotian's, yet he doesn't vie for rankings—what's his motive? After the martial contest ends, I'll send someone to investigate his background!"

Now, all the spectators know that Yu Haotian is not the true First Heavenly Pride of the Cangyun Continent. At least there is a youngster named Mo Tianheng.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun hasn't faced Yu Haotian yet. So the top spot could still belong to anyone.

Inside the Secret Realm, after Yu Haotian returned, he stationed himself not far from Ye Liuyun, waiting for his breakthrough. With him there, no one dared approach.

At this moment, Lei Ming and the Earth Demon Dragon's True Essence had fully recovered, and they emerged from the Xuan Kong Shi. She intended to take the Earth Demon Dragon out for some activity, to spar with a few people. Upon emerging, they spotted the lurking Yu Haotian.

"Now that's a fine opponent!"

Lei Ming instantly took a liking to Yu Haotian. She also knew that sparring with strong opponents would quickly boost her own strength and teach her.

"Hey! Want to have some activity, shall we have a match?" Lei Ming asked.

"You ask me?" Yu Haotian's excitement rose upon hearing it.

Lei Ming is at the Heavenly Gang Ninth Rank, perfectly in line with her intention.

"Yeah! Others aren't my match either. But fighting you, I still feel a bit lacking. I have a follower; the two of us can take on you, okay?"

Lei Ming pointed at the Earth Demon Dragon.

The Earth Demon Dragon obediently nodded, baring its teeth and roaring at Yu Haotian, showing its menace.

"Haha, fine, bring it on! Let me see the two of your strength!" Yu Haotian immediately agreed. The two Heavenly Gang Ninth Rank opponents were a bit more pressure for him, but fighting like this was more fun!

"Alright, exhilarating!"

Lei Ming also became excited. She instantly manifested her true form, and without hesitation, charged forward with the Earth Demon Dragon, launching an attack on Yu Haotian.

Both Lei Ming and the Earth Demon Dragon were cloaked in dense Demon Qi, sounding ominous. Especially Lei Ming, whose black Demon Qi intermittently flashed with Blood Thunder, also exuding Ice Power, which formed her main attack.

The Earth Demon Dragon relied mainly on Physical Body attacks. It handled melee, while Lei Ming used Blood Thunder and Ice Power for ranged assaults. Their coordination was remarkably harmonious.

Yu Haotian at this moment had fully activated his bloodline power, nearing a frenzy, displaying his berserk fighting style to the fullest. The pressure from the two Heavenly Gang Ninth Rank opponents was considerable; if he didn't give his all, he truly wouldn't match them.

"Boom, boom, bang, bang..."

Various booming sounds rang continuously. The three of them fought with great enjoyment.

Many prodigies inside the Secret Realm also sensed the fluctuations of True Essence.

"Which Heavenly Pride is fighting now?"

By intuition, they guessed that masters were battling.

But at this moment, the scramble for Tokens was already in its final stage; the top hundred would soon be decided.

Thus, at this critical moment, no one dared to act rashly or join the fray, fearing ambushes. They only sensed the energy waves from afar.

"Ice seal across a thousand miles!"

"Blood Thunder Heaven Tribulation!"

"Roar! Sonic attack!"

Lei Ming's attacks came one after another, targeting Yu Haotian.

Those outside the Secret Realm could see everything clearly.

"This Demon Race's Thunder Dragon Beast is enough to fill the vacant Heavenly Pride! Its strength is not weaker than any Heavenly Pride!"

"According to rumors, this Thunder Dragon Beast is Ye Liuyun's pet!" A well-informed Elder reported to Yao Xinghai.

"It is said that this Thunder Dragon Beast is Ye Liuyun's pet!" a well-informed Elder reported to Yao Xinghai.

"No problem, as long as they're a part of the Cangyun Continent, we should acknowledge them," Yao Xinghai said indifferently. "If that's the case, Ye Liuyun's strength is even greater! The Thunder Dragon Beast, Black Flood Dragon, and Earth Demon Dragon—this kid will definitely tame beasts!"
