Chapter 125: The Battle for Number One
Yu Yuanzhen's words almost made Ning Fengzhi spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Since that's the case, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan forfeits and will be ranked third," Qian Xunji announced with a wave of his hand. "The title of World's Number One Sect will be contested between the Clear Sky Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
The true high-quality battles of the competition officially began.
On the massive arena, Tang Tian and Yu Yuanzhen, two Level 95 Titled Douluo, stood thirty paces apart.
"Tang Tian, today, this old man will fulfill the long-cherished wish of my predecessors. I will win the title of World's Number One Sect for my clan!" Yu Yuanzhen declared. "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Possession!"
"Roar—"
A phantom of a lightning dragon, over ten meters long, coiled behind him as nine spirit rings rose into view. A vast spirit power pressure erupted, covering Tang Tian.
"Hmph, that depends on whether you have the ability," Tang Tian said, his expression indifferent as he released his Clear Sky Hammer. His own aura exploded to meet Yu Yuanzhen's.
Though both were Level 95 Titled Douluo with the same spirit ring configuration, Yu Yuanzhen, a ruthless individual who in the original story had taken on four Titled Douluo at once, still managed to gain a slight upper hand in the clash of auras.
"Haha, Tang Tian, it seems you're old and useless," he laughed. "Come on, let me witness your clan's Spirit Ring Detonation!"
He then actively charged, his speed so astonishing that he left a blue lightning arc in the air. "First Spirit Ability, Lightning Dragon Claw! Second, Thunderous Power! Third, Wrath of Thunder!..." He unleashed one Spirit Ability after another, aiming to use his speed advantage to bypass the hammer and attack Tang Tian's body directly.
"Hmph." Tang Tian retaliated, using his own Spirit Abilities to counter before unleashing the Disorderly Wind Splitting Hammer Technique, making his entire body an impenetrable fortress.
Rumble—
In an instant, lightning raged, and the arena cracked and shattered. The collision point was a chaotic maelstrom of flashing energy. Even Qin Xuan had to admit that Yu Yuanzhen was truly strong. In his dragonized state, his defense, attack, strength, and speed were all maximized, and he was actually forcing Tang Tian onto the defensive.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Avatar!" After battling for a while, Yu Yuanzhen realized he couldn't break through and unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar. He transformed into a giant dragon nearly a hundred meters long.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Clear Sky Avatar!" Tang Tian had been waiting for this moment and responded in kind. Now that Yu Yuanzhen's massive size had reduced his agility, the full power of his own technique could be unleashed.
Roar— Boom—
Terrifying dragon roars and lightning collided with the Clear Sky Avatar. The collision between the two Titled Douluo was enough to make the crowd's blood boil.
"Qin Xuan, who do you think will win?" Bibi Dong, ignited by the battle, walked to his side and asked.
"To contend for this so-called title, both of them have truly gotten into the fight," he replied after a brief silence. "If they continue like this, Tang Tian will likely be exhausted by Yu Yuanzhen, who has an absolute advantage in physical constitution. However, the Clear Sky Clan still has the unique skill of Spirit Ring Detonation. If it's unleashed, I'm afraid Yu Yuanzhen will no longer be a match. Of course, Tang Tian will also suffer a backlash. The ultimate outcome will probably be Yu Yuanzhen's defeat and Tang Tian's tragic victory, suffering incurable internal injuries."
He recalled the description of Tang Tian in the original story. The injuries he sustained in this competition were likely the cause of his poor health later in life.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
As if to confirm his words, Tang Tian's spirit rings began to explode, one after another. By the time the fourth ring exploded into the fifth, Yu Yuanzhen finally began to buckle.
