...
Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian remained expressionless and coldly snorted:
"You've already brought people to my sect's doorstep to cause trouble, and now you're still bringing up your age?
Don't be ridiculous, kid."
Yu Luomian's eyes sharpened: "I'm giving you one last chance.
If you take back your words about causing trouble, I can treat you like a guest and treat you to the best food and wine, out of respect for Erlong.
But if you're stubborn and insist on making a move... then don't blame me for being ruthless and bullying the weak!"
"That's no fun." Xuan Hao's smile vanished, a fervent fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
"Since we're already here, let's just start fighting!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Hao's eyes sharpened, and he immediately activated the soul power within his body.
"roar--!"
With an ancient and majestic dragon roar, Xuan Hao's martial spirit instantly possessed him!
Extremely dazzling golden dragon scales covered his arms, neck, and cheeks like armor.
Those sky-blue eyes transformed once again into majestic crimson-gold vertical pupils, unleashing a terrifying dragon's might as if it were a tangible force, as vast as the ocean and as powerful as the heavens, directly threatening the Jade Crown opposite them!
"You have some nerve!
Then let this old man see what you've got!"
Without further ado, Yu Luomian, facing this extremely oppressive bloodline power, immediately let out a low roar and also completed the Martial Soul Possession.
As a top-tier Soul Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex with a Soul Power level of over 70, he can already achieve "full-body dragon transformation" when using the high-intensity Martial Soul Possession technique.
With a deafening cracking sound of bones breaking, Yu Luomian's body suddenly rose higher, and a layer of fine dragon scales instantly covered his entire body.
However, the lightning and dragon scales erupting from his body were not the blue-purple color of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, but an extremely deep and violent pure purple!
This is Yu Luomian's martial soul—the mutated Purple Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!
This mutation is not just a change in surface color, but also a shift in the core attributes of the martial soul.
If the orthodox Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is a perfect top-tier martial soul with an absolute balance of speed and power, both reaching the highest level, then Yu Luomian's mutated Purple Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex has suffered a certain degree of weakness and sacrifice in power, in exchange for an extremely terrifying ultimate speed!
In terms of burst speed alone, Yu Luomian is even comparable to the sect master Yu Yuanzhen, who is a level 95 titled Douluo, and is as fast as lightning.
Of course, this comes at a price; the difference between the two in terms of pure destructive power and strength is enormous.
The sect leader Yu Yuanzhen, who is known as the Thunder Overlord, could single-handedly take on ten Soul Douluo-level elders, including Yu Luomian, if he really fought. He is an absolute war god.
"boom--!"
Purple lightning raged wildly around Yu Luomian, shattering the bluestone slabs beneath his feet.
He clenched his hands, which had transformed into dragon claws, and purple lightning crackled around them as his gaze locked onto Xuan Hao.
There was no unnecessary chatter, nor any fancy probing.
The moment Xuan Hao and Yu Luomian reached the peak of their auras, they shot towards each other like two meteorites!
"boom--!"
Two fists, one large and one small, one gold and one purple, covered with fine dragon scales, collided fiercely in mid-air without any fancy moves!
A violent ripple of soul power emanated from the two of them, transforming into a tangible, visible shockwave that swept wildly in all directions.
The hard bluestone pavement cracked inch by inch, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
In the instant they were about to part ways, a look of undisguised shock flashed in both of their eyes.
Yu Luomian shook his dragon claws, which were slightly numb from the shock, and the horror in his heart was simply indescribable.
Although he hadn't used his full strength just now to save face for his senior, his soul power was nearly twenty levels higher than Xuan Hao's!
Even if his Purple Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul mutated and was slightly inferior to the orthodox Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus in pure strength, that was only relative.
For the vast majority of Soul Masters on the continent, his power remains an overwhelmingly superior level.
But this boy, who was only a teenager, actually withstood his punch with his bare physical strength and didn't even lose ground.
This kid's strength is already comparable to that of a Contra player?!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several more lightning-fast, brutal exchanges of punches and kicks ensued.
Each collision produced a dull, teeth-grinding sonic boom.
Through this brief exchange, both sides gained an extremely clear understanding of each other's strengths and capabilities.
But Yu Luomian's expression grew increasingly grim.
As the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, if he were to waste half a day here fighting a mere brat who didn't even have a seventh spirit ring, even if he won in the end, it would be a disgrace, and he would completely lose face for the clan!
What he wanted was to suppress this kid on the spot with the utmost speed!
"Young man, your strength is indeed amazing, but it ends here!"
Yu Luomian let out a cold shout, his eyes blazing with purple light.
Then, with a loud crack, he transformed into a bolt of purple lightning and vanished into thin air!
Extreme speed! This is the true trump card of the Purple Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Xuan Hao immediately sensed something was wrong. In that instant, he was unable to detect the movement of the Jade Crown with his naked eye.
But he didn't panic at all. Under the impetus of his mental power, the Golden Dragon's three-dimensional perception was fully activated instantly, and every slight change in the airflow within a radius of 100 meters was clearly reflected in his mind.
"Want to compete in speed and explosiveness? Come on!"
Xuan Hao roared, his blood and qi surging like a river, unleashing his full power!
Golden dragon body!
Golden Dragon's Rampage Domain!
Golden Dragon Overlord Body!
A dazzling golden light instantly enveloped Xuan Hao, transforming him into a golden cocoon of light that resembled that of a war god.
The instant the cocoon formed, Xuan Hao, relying on his three-dimensional perception to lock onto the target, abruptly twisted his waist, and with his right fist carrying the terrifying power to split mountains and shatter rocks, he unhesitatingly punched the air behind him to his left!
"Bang--!"
A dull, loud bang!
Just as Yu Luomian had used her extreme speed to circle around to Xuan Hao's blind spot, preparing to strike him down, her fist collided with Xuan Hao's extremely precise counterattack.
Yu Luomian was completely stunned.
How is this possible?!
How could this kid possibly keep up with his speed, which is comparable to that of a Title Douluo, and still make such an accurate prediction?!
What horrified him even more was the seemingly tangible golden protective shield around Xuan Hao.
The violent purple lightning on his fist, powerful enough to paralyze a Soul Saint, not only failed to cause any damage when it struck the shield, but was instead being absorbed by the golden light as if it had vanished into thin air!
Before Yu Luomian could figure out what kind of evil soul skill this was, Xuan Hao's lips curled into a wild, cold smile.
"Here you go!"
Xuan Hao exerted force with his right arm, and the absolute counter-damage effect of the Golden Dragon Overlord Body suddenly erupted at this moment!
The tons of power that Yu Luomian had just unleashed, along with the absorbed lightning power, instantly transformed into an even more violent counter-force, striking back with overwhelming force!
"not good!"
Sensing the terrifying, almost irresistible backlash, Yu Luomian's expression changed drastically.
At this critical moment, acting on the battle instincts of a seasoned expert, his seventh spirit ring blazed with dark light, and he immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body to protect himself!
"Boom!"
With a deafening explosion, a gigantic phantom of a purple lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex had just appeared when it was struck hard by the terrifying golden shockwave.
Before the horrified eyes of hundreds of people in the audience, Yu Luomian, the second-in-command at level 88, was actually blasted away like a cannonball by Xuan Hao's punch.
He left a purple lightning trail in mid-air and crashed heavily into the stone pillar at the edge of the square!
The air seemed to freeze completely at that moment.
The entire arena was deathly silent. All the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood there, mouths agape, dumbfounded.
Even Liu Erlong, who had been standing to the side in fear, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
That old bastard Yu Luomian was actually sent flying by Xuan Hao's punch?!
