Actually, Gu Yue wasn't afraid of exposing anything at all. The moment the Gold Dragon King returned, the revival of the Spirit Beasts was already a foregone conclusion.
She could reproduce the radiance of the Dragon God at any time.
Hiding was only because she didn't want to add trouble to her path of re-cultivation. But not hiding didn't matter either.
The moment the intense light exploded, even through the Soul Guidance Barrier, that scorching heatwave still rushed toward them.
The chaotic energy currents in the center of the arena were like an out-of-control giant beast; cracks on the protective wall were still spreading frantically. The Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters poured their Soul Power into the barrier as if it cost nothing, yet they could only barely delay the speed of its collapse.
"Crazy! I must be crazy!" The sound of people gasping came from the stands. "These are two Spirit Kings?"
In the intense light, two figures refused to yield even an inch.
On the Dragon Claws of Na'er's Gold Dragon King phantom, golden Soul Power flowed like lava. Every time they struck down, they carried an overbearing force that crushed everything.
The wings of Gu Yue's Silver Dragon King phantom flapped, and Light Blades fell like rain. However, it wasn't pure slaughter, but rather a control refined to the extreme, attempting to guide and decompose the Gold Dragon King's power.
Golden and silver light intertwined and collided in the center of the arena, letting out a deafening roar.
The intense light dissipated.
Na'er had already donned her entirely golden battle armor.
The battle armor featured a streamlined structure with a cold metallic luster. Every joint between components was embedded with fine energy patterns, with faint golden specks of light flickering as they flowed.
Her helmet covered most of her face, leaving only her lips exposed.
one-word battle armor, Na.
"Battle armor? Ridiculous." Gu Yue had also put on her silver-white battle armor. The streamlined armor fit her body perfectly, as if it had grown out of her own bones. Pale blue energy bands flowed through every seam. "I designed all of your battle armor. You're using this to fight me?"
"Hmph." Na'er snorted coldly and slowly raised her hand. A golden longspear appeared.
That golden longspear was much taller than Na'er herself, its entire body as bright as molten gold. Dragon-shaped dark patterns moved along the shaft like living things, surrounded by a dense aura of life; it was precisely the golden dragon spear formed from the Gold Dragon King's ribs.
"It's perfect to settle things today; the winner takes all." Na'er was babbling nonsense, not knowing what she was saying. "Beauties only belong to the strong!"
What does that mean?
Everyone who heard this was stunned.
Arthur's brow furrowed, thinking to himself that things were bad. Obviously, he was that beauty.
Hearing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Gu Yue's cool eyes. She lightly raised her wrist, and the silver dragon spear was already in her hand.
The spear's body was as slender as silver silk, and elements like water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth instantly swirled around it.
"Beauties only belong to the strong? Today, I'll let you know who the master is!"
The next second.
The crisp sound of metal clashing pierced the clouds. The tips of the golden dragon spear and the silver dragon spear met, and the resulting sparks splashed onto their battle armors, stirring up ripples.
Na'er's wrist sank heavily, the dragon patterns on the spear shaft surged, and the Gold Dragon King Power surged along the spear's body, attempting to knock away Gu Yue's silver spear.
But Gu Yue's silver dragon spear hummed, and the elements of water and fire intertwined on the shaft to form a flexible energy lock, tightly gripping the tip of the golden spear.
The two figures were at a stalemate in the center of the arena. The energy patterns on their battle armors flowed frantically, and the golden and silver lights eroded each other, making a sizzling burning sound.
"Old hag!" Na'er growled low, her other hand clenching into a fist as she pressed toward Gu Yue. "Go focus on your career obediently! You're old enough to be someone's ancestor, why are you fighting me for him!"
Gu Yue's composure instantly shattered. Her calm face suddenly tightened, a stormy sea rose in her cool eyes, and her fingers gripping the silver dragon spear abruptly tightened.
"Have I been too indulgent with you lately?"
A sharp shout accompanied by a chilling killing intent rang out. The elements around Gu Yue instantly became violent. The various elements were no longer softly intertwined but turned into ferocious energy blades, surging frantically along the silver dragon spear.
She spun her wrist sharply, and a blinding blue light erupted from the tip of the silver spear, forcing the golden dragon spear back half an inch. Using this counter-force, her figure closed in like a ghost, stabbing directly at the energy core of Na'er's battle armor—a flaw she had intentionally left when she designed it herself.
At the critical moment, Na'er spun around abruptly, her golden dragon spear sweeping horizontally. The dragon patterns on the shaft erupted with brilliant golden light, forming a golden barrier that barely managed to block the attack.
Screech—
The tip of the silver spear scraped across the golden barrier, producing a piercing tearing sound.
Gu Yue's offensive didn't pause for a moment. The battle armor on her right foot hummed, and her figure suddenly rose. She reversed her silver spear and smashed the shaft hard toward the back of Na'er's neck.
Na'er's left hand slammed onto the ground, and she slid sideways, narrowly escaping the blow.
The shaft of the silver spear scraped past her shoulder armor and slammed into the ground. A large section of the arena floor collapsed with a bang, creating a massive deep pit.
"You dodge quite fast!" Gu Yue sneered. With a light flick of her wrist, the silver dragon spear danced into a blur of silver light. The elements of water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth turned into five streaks of light, coiling toward Na'er.
"Old hag, you're playing dirty with me?" Na'er roared. She thrust the golden dragon spear into the ground. The dragon patterns on the shaft shone brilliantly, and the phantom of the Gold Dragon King completely merged with her figure. A primitive and overbearing pressure swept across the entire field.
The golden Soul Power around her surged frantically, and there were faint signs of her battle armor surpassing its limits and collapsing.
"Today, I will definitely defeat you!"
On the high stand, whether it was the Star Luo or the Douluo Delegation, everyone saw shock in each other's eyes.
How was this a battle between Spirit Kings?
This was clearly two giant dragons fighting!
Just as the two were about to strike again, a figure suddenly darted into the center of the arena, spreading his arms to stand between them.
It was Arthur.
He looked at the two, who seemed to be fighting for real, and said helplessly, "My two great aunts, stop fighting. If there's anything, let's talk it over properly in private."
Na'er's fist stopped in mid-air. Looking at Arthur blocking her path, the ferocity in her eyes dissipated by more than half, leaving only a hint of awkwardness. "I have to give her a beating today!"
Gu Yue retracted the Silver Dragon King phantom. Looking at Arthur's back, a hint of feigned innocence appeared on her cool face. "She was the one who started it."
Arthur glanced at Na'er, then back at Gu Yue, and finally sighed. "Alright, alright, we're all on the same side. What can't be discussed properly? Why must you fight to the death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt two gazes fall on him simultaneously.
One was full of resentment, the other with playfulness.
Arthur: "?"
Did he say something wrong?
"The match is currently in progress. Please leave the arena, contestant."
Inopportunely, the dedicated Referee issued a warning.
But before he could finish, he was targeted by two cold gazes simultaneously.
Na'er's lips under her mask thinned into a line, and Gu Yue's eyes carried a faint trace of pressure.
That was the dual gaze of the Gold Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. Even though the Referee was a powerful Titled Douluo, at this moment, his throat couldn't help but tighten, and he swallowed his remaining words.
The arena fell silent once again.
