Outside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi, Flender, Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong, Xu Yunhan, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), and over five hundred others stood ready. Five hundred of them were Imperial Guards composed of Soul Masters.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the sky darkened. Fierce winds raged, and black clouds pressed down, as if a storm were imminent.
"Yu Yuanzhen!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin looked up at the sky. With a single shout, he dispersed the furious winds and black clouds.
"Sword Douluo Chen Xin!"
Yu Yuanzhen appeared in the sky. Though he was eighty or ninety years old, he was a generation younger than Sword Douluo Chen Xin. The Level 95 Yu Yuanzhen exuded a powerful presence. He looked down at the more than five hundred people below, saying coldly, "What a grand display. Are you trying to attack my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, wearing a feigned smile. "Sect Master Yu, today we have come regarding the grievances between Shrek Academy and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. We hope to resolve this misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?"
Yu Yuanzhen stared at Ning Fengzhi for a moment, seemingly looking down on the Soul Saint-ranked Ning Fengzhi. His gaze then shifted to Sword Douluo Chen Xin. In his eyes, only Sword Douluo Chen Xin was qualified to speak with him. "Chen Xin, Shrek Academy turned my second brother into a vegetative state. This is an affair between my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Shrek Academy. Are you trying to interfere, to be meddlesome?"
Just then, behind Yu Yuanzhen, a large group of people arrived, all Soul Masters capable of flight. There were Soul Douluo, Soul Saints, Soul Emperors, Soul Kings, and so on. Another group arrived on the ground, numbering several hundred in total. Within the sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also had many members present at this moment.
In the original novel, Spirit Hall attacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with four Titled Douluo and eight thousand Soul Masters, suffering two Titled Douluo deaths and over three thousand Soul Master casualties, just to annihilate nearly two thousand members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Therefore, even though Xu Yunhan's group numbered over five hundred, they posed no real threat to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Instead, their numbers merely ensured their ability to arrive and retreat safely. Of course, Xu Yunhan and his group weren't there to fight to the death with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had hundreds of people, and their overall momentum was no weaker than Xu Yunhan's group of over five hundred. It was like two armies confronting each other, the atmosphere oppressive and solemn.
Titled Douluo Clash: Sword vs. Dragon
Sword Douluo Chen Xin stepped on his sword and rose into the air, facing Yu Yuanzhen at close range. "Yu Luomian coveted Shrek Academy's secrets and went to seize them by force. He was simply outmatched. Yu Yuanzhen, do you have the audacity to seek revenge for Yu Luomian? And in such an unreasonable manner?"
"Hmph!" The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was indeed somewhat in the wrong, but Yu Luomian was, after all, Yu Yuanzhen's brother and the second-in-command. They couldn't simply let Shrek Academy off the hook.
"Right or wrong, my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will investigate thoroughly," Yu Yuanzhen domineeringly stated. "Regardless, Yu Luomian is my brother and an elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Shrek Academy must provide an explanation."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin stared at Yu Yuanzhen for a moment and said, "It's been many years, and you still have that bad temper. I just wonder if your strength has improved, or if you're inclined to spar a bit?" A battle was ultimately unavoidable.
"Chen Xin, I haven't broken through these past years, and neither have you. We used to be evenly matched; do you still think you can defeat me now?" Yu Yuanzhen chuckled. "Good! It's been many years since we last met; it's a rare occasion. Why not fight a round with you?" In truth, both Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen harbored the same thought: their strengths were comparable, and perhaps a fierce battle could help each other break through their bottlenecks. So, they tacitly agreed to a fight.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen moved to another open area. Both sides watched from a distance, observing their battle.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong stood beside Xu Yunhan, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ning Fengzhi, Liu Erlong, Flender, Zhao Wuji, Qian Renxue, and the others, saying: "That old dragon, Yu Yuanzhen, is very strong. Many years ago, when we were both Level 95, I was no match for him, and Chen Xin couldn't defeat him either. Now, several years have passed, and none of us three have broken through. Although we've all made some progress, I am still no match for Yu Yuanzhen. It will be very difficult for Chen Xin to defeat Yu Yuanzhen."
Ning Rongrong asked confusedly, "Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Sword is Level 96, and Yu Yuanzhen is Level 95. Didn't you say that after a Soul Master reaches Level 95, each additional level represents a huge difference in strength?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong looked at Ning Rongrong with doting affection and said, "That's generally the case, for ordinary Soul Masters. But Yu Yuanzhen is no ordinary Soul Master. His martial spirit is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, renowned as the strongest beast martial spirit, and not without reason. Furthermore, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a secret art called 'Dragon Transformation.' As their soul power increases, their martial spirit can manifest dragon claws, dragon wings, a dragon head, a dragon body, a dragon tail, and so on, greatly amplifying their strength! The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the upper three sects precisely because of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit and the Dragon Transformation secret art..."
Echoes of Conflict: The Younger Generation
On the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's side, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, and Dugu Yan were also present today. Yu Tianheng was Yu Yuanzhen's grandson, and Yu Tianxin was Yu Luomian's grandson.
"Xu Yunhan!"
Yu Tianxin clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Xu Yunhan in the distance. He had only just learned that his grandfather, Yu Luomian, had been reduced to a vegetative state by Xu Yunhan. To this day, Yu Tianxin found it hard to believe, and even harder to accept such a vast disparity between himself and Xu Yunhan. Simultaneously, he harbored a deep hatred for Xu Yunhan in his heart. Now that Yu Luomian was a vegetative state, Yu Tianxin, formerly one of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's future successors, had lost his advantage. How could he possibly compete with Yu Tianheng in the future? This made the animosity even greater.
Dugu Yan watched the direction of Xu Yunhan with a complicated gaze. She too found it hard to believe that Xu Yunhan could reduce Yu Luomian to a vegetative state. She had some goodwill towards Xu Yunhan. Unfortunately, they hadn't interacted much. Now that Dugu Bo had been missing for so long, Dugu Yan felt utterly alone and powerless. She could only rely more on Yu Tianheng, making their relationship increasingly intimate. If Dugu Yan were to know that her grandfather, Dugu Bo, had already been killed by Xu Yunhan, her feelings wouldn't just be a little goodwill; it would be an immense hatred. And Dugu Yan was also among Xu Yunhan's targets for elimination. To cut the weeds and remove the roots! When the opportunity arose, Xu Yunhan would eliminate Dugu Yan.
The Battle Commences
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the area where Yu Yuanzhen and Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood became overcast, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.
"It's starting!"
Everyone looked over. At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen was within the dark clouds, surrounded by countless dense lightning bolts, a terrifying sight. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit possessed extremely powerful lightning attribute energy, which served as its primary offensive force.
"Chen Xin, come on!"
Yu Yuanzhen released his martial spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. A massive lightning-blue dragon soared into the sky, accompanied by overwhelming lightning that illuminated the ground.
"Sword, come!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin held his Seven Kill Sword, which was his martial spirit. Instantly, sword qi shot into the sky, dispelling the surrounding dark clouds and allowing sunlight to fall.
"Very good, your aura is much stronger than a few years ago."
"Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Yuanzhen instantly activated his soul skill. His released soul power transformed into blue-purple lightning, which then condensed into dragon claws and shot towards Sword Douluo Chen Xin. This soul skill could also attach lightning dragon claws to his arms for close-quarters combat. The skill came with a paralyzing effect and could be used for both long-range and close-range single-target attacks.
"Is this a test?"
"Flowing Water!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin also instantly activated his soul skill. This was his third soul skill. As the soul skill activated, a powerful sword qi burst forth from the Seven Kill Sword in his hand.
Rumble!
The sword qi and lightning dragon claws exploded in the air. The sword qi gained the upper hand, not completely dissipating, and continued towards Yu Yuanzhen.
"Thunderous Might!"
Yu Yuanzhen instantly activated another soul skill. After activating this soul skill, the countless serpentine lightning bolts swirling around Yu Yuanzhen's body simultaneously magnified. The next moment, they transformed into countless lightning arrows, bursting out in all directions with a paralyzing effect, a long-range area-of-effect attack. A portion of the serpentine lightning quickly devoured the sword qi, while another portion struck towards Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
"Go!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin swung out several more sword qi, shattering the incoming serpentine lightning bolts.
"Rage of Thunder!"
Yu Yuanzhen instantly activated another soul skill. This skill, once activated, placed him in a berserk state for a certain period, increasing his lightning power by one hundred percent and his soul power by fifty percent. If he didn't actively stop the skill, it would continue until his soul power was exhausted.
"Thunderstorm!"
After activating his amplification soul skill, Yu Yuanzhen immediately used an offensive soul skill, also an instant cast. Yu Yuanzhen released a large, dense barrage of lightning attacks forward. This was a long-range area-of-effect attack soul skill with a paralyzing effect. Large amounts of lightning, like heavy rain, fell upon Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Quaking the Four Directions!"
A black soul ring flashed on Sword Douluo Chen Xin's body as his soul skill activated. Four massive phantom Seven Kill Swords appeared around him, guarding the four directions, preventing the rain-like lightning from approaching Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
"Killing Intent Revealed!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's killing intent was chilling. He instantly activated a single-target long-range offensive soul skill, launching an even more domineering killing intent attack at Yu Yuanzhen. At the Titled Douluo level, soul skills below ten thousand years could generally be instantly activated.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Four-Way Thunder!"
A black soul ring flashed on Yu Yuanzhen's body, and he also used his ten-thousand-year soul skill. With Yu Yuanzhen as the center, lightning was released in all directions, forming a wide-range attack with a paralyzing effect. The dense lightning bolts blocked and eroded the killing intent.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Ancestor!"
A black soul ring flashed on Sword Douluo Chen Xin's body. Around him, tens of thousands of swords were instantly condensed from soul power. These swords could be shot out like arrows, or they could gather with the Seven Kill Sword as their core to form a single super-large sword, a super area-of-effect skill with immense attack power. The tens of thousands of swords around him, using the Seven Kill Sword as their core, quickly formed a towering giant sword that slashed towards Yu Yuanzhen.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Sky-Shattering Dragon Roar!"
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, then roared at the towering giant sword. A burst of dragon's roar emanated from his mouth, and the air surged with explosive sounds. Cracks appeared on the towering giant sword, and it quickly shattered before reaching Yu Yuanzhen. After two consecutive dragon roars from Yu Yuanzhen, the towering giant sword completely broke apart.
Neither of them rushed to use their martial spirit true bodies. Instead, they continued to battle as they were, exchanging blows with their first to sixth soul skills. And the battle was extremely fierce; both wanted to use this to find an opportunity for a breakthrough. To others, it seemed as if the two were genuinely fighting with all their might.
Observing the Pinnacle of Power
"Grandpa Sword will be alright, won't he?" Ning Rongrong watched, growing a little worried. The commotion was too grand, too terrifying.
"Is this a battle between Titled Douluo?" Xiao Wu was deeply shaken by the display.
Flender sighed, "This is no ordinary battle between Titled Douluo! Feel it carefully; it will help your future cultivation."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong said, "Rongrong, don't worry. Your Grandpa Sword and Yu Yuanzhen haven't broken through in too long. They're fighting so desperately because they both want to use each other to find an opportunity for a breakthrough."
Ning Fengzhi said, "That's right. This is an opportunity for both Uncle Sword and Yu Yuanzhen. It just depends on whether they can seize it." Ning Rongrong and the others suddenly understood; there was such a consideration.
Xu Yunhan said little, observing the battle while pondering things. In his time ten thousand years later, he had not only seen many battles between Titled Douluo but had also personally engaged with some. However, this was his first time seeing a battle between Titled Douluo since coming to the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, and it was a battle between the Seven Kill Sword martial spirit and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit. It was very significant.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) had two Titled Douluo secretly protecting her. She had interacted with many powerful Titled Douluo and witnessed several Titled Douluo battles. But the battle between Yu Yuanzhen and Sword Douluo Chen Xin still warranted her attention. The strength of both of them was comparable to some elders in Spirit Hall's Elder Hall. The elders of Spirit Hall's Elder Hall were at least Level 96 in soul power, and the Great Elder Qian Daoliu was even a Level 99 Limit Douluo.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's side also watched the battle intently, assessing Sword Douluo Chen Xin's strength.
"Sword Douluo Chen Xin truly lives up to his name as a Level 96 Titled Douluo; he's evenly matched with the Sect Master!"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's ability to become one of the upper three sects is largely due to Sword Douluo Chen Xin."
"If the Sect Master also reached Level 96, Sword Douluo Chen Xin would certainly be no match!"
"That's right! The Sect Master is younger than Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and his talent is stronger. It won't be long before he surpasses him!" Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the vast majority of disciples greatly admired their Sect Master, Yu Yuanzhen.
"Grandfather!" Yu Tianheng clenched his fists. In the future, he too wanted to become as powerful as his grandfather, or even stronger. Xu Yunhan's talent was monstrous, but that was just for now. The future was still distant, and who would be stronger was unknown! Yu Tianheng's confidence was greatly boosted by Yu Yuanzhen's battle.
"Grandfather, where are you?" Dugu Yan thought of her grandfather, Dugu Bo. She hadn't felt it before, but now that Dugu Bo was gone, Dugu Yan felt so lonely and powerless. Without Dugu Bo, how was she to survive in this Douluo Continent where strength reigned supreme? Even if she relied on Yu Tianheng, her future might not be good. Without family backing, her status if she married into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wouldn't be very high. Moreover, if Yu Tianheng became Sect Master in the future, he might have even more women. Many men in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had multiple wives and concubines; otherwise, how could the clan's disciples expand and continue? Soul Master inheritance placed great emphasis on bloodline, because martial spirits were largely passed down through bloodline. Only with more clansmen was it more likely for more geniuses to appear.
