Chapter 33: Imperial Struggle and Civil War, the Crown Prince Appears.
The battle is about to break out.
Yu Tianheng made the first move, unleashing his full Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, with lightning leaping around him.
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
The blue dragon claw, carrying the power of lightning, rushed straight towards Ye Xuanming.
Ye Xuanming remained calm and composed. With a wave of his hands, the Blue Silver Grass of Life instantly wove into a shield in front of him.
The dragon claws slammed into the blue silver grass shield, producing a deafening roar.
"What?" Yu Tianheng's eyes widened. His Thunder Dragon Claw had failed to break through the seemingly weak vine shield.
"Captain, this guy's Blue Silver Grass has become so hard!" Oslow exclaimed from the side.
Ye Xuanming retracted his shield, and the dark jade blue-silver spear materialized in his hand.
"Sister Yanzi, you deal with the Shi brothers, Yufeng will deal with Auslo, and Sister Lingling will provide support."
"Received!" Dugu Yan replied excitedly, releasing her Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, the golden scales on her body shimmering in the sunlight.
"First Soul Skill, Azure Phosphorous Red Poison!"
The red poisonous fog spread toward the graphite mill brothers.
Shi Mo hurriedly released his martial spirit: "Second Soul Skill, Xuanwu Body Protection!"
The heavy tortoise shells enveloped the two brothers, protecting them from the corrosive poisonous fog.
"Hmph, watch my second soul skill, Azure Phosphorous Poison!"
Dugu Yan continued her attacks, followed closely by blue poisonous fog.
Stone Mill muttered from inside the tortoise shell, "Brother, this poison is much more potent than before!"
"Hold on!" Graphite gritted his teeth and persevered.
On the other side, Yufeng and Oslo were also fighting.
Oslo's speed was indeed very fast, but the Wind Chime Bird Martial Soul, which controlled the wind, was more agile in the air.
"Second Soul Skill, Wind Blade Dance!"
Countless wind blades descended from the sky, and Oslo could only dodge them in a sorry state.
"Damn it! First Soul Skill, Leopard Shadow Clone!"
Three leopard shadows simultaneously pounced towards Yu Feng.
In the center of the arena, Ye Xuanming and Yu Tianheng faced off head-on.
Yu Tianheng unleashed the full power of lightning, each strike carrying immense force.
"Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Strike!"
A thick pillar of lightning descended from the sky, striking Ye Xuanming directly.
Ye Xuanming moved his feet, the dark jade blue-silver spear dancing in his hand, actually shattering the lightning pillar.
"This is impossible!" Yu Tianheng exclaimed in shock.
Outside the training field, Qian Renxue's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Has Ye Xuanming's martial soul quality... reached this level?"
She carefully observed the spear in Ye Xuanming's hand, and was surprised by its dark, jade-like luster.
"Ordinary blue silver grass could never have this kind of toughness. This child definitely has a secret."
The battle on the field became increasingly fierce.
Dugu Yan's poisonous fog had already caused cracks in the Xuanwu protective barrier of the Shi brothers.
"Brother, I can't hold on any longer!" Shi Mo's voice was filled with pain.
"Damn it, how can this poison be so potent!" Graphite was also struggling.
Ye Lingling continuously provided healing support from the rear, replenishing her teammates' energy.
"The healing power of the crabapple blossom!"
The gentle light shone on the entire venue, and Ye Xuanming, Dugu Yan, and Yu Feng all felt refreshed.
"Lingling's treatment was so timely!" Yu Feng exclaimed gratefully.
Seeing his teammates at a disadvantage, Oslow was so anxious he was jumping up and down.
"Captain! Think of something quick! We're going to lose!"
Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, and the lightning around him became even more violent.
"Third Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon's Fury!"
His body was instantly enveloped in lightning, and he transformed into a giant lightning dragon, charging towards Ye Xuanming.
Ye Xuanming narrowed his eyes; this attack was indeed quite powerful.
"Second Soul Skill, Jade Transformation!"
Golden light surged from the Blue Silver Grass of Life, instantly doubling all of Ye Xuanming's attributes.
At the same time, the Dark Blue Silver Grass also released its second soul skill.
"Second Soul Skill, Jade Blade!"
The attack power and penetration power of the Jade Blue Silver Spear are also doubled.
The two are about to clash with their strongest attacks.
Qian Renxue held her breath outside the arena, eager to know the true strength of this mysterious young man.
Just then, an accident occurred.
The Shi brothers' Xuanwu protective barrier finally shattered under Dugu Yan's poison.
"ah!"
The two men collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.
Yu Feng seized the opportunity and struck Oslo's shoulder with a wind blade.
"I give up!" Oslow shouted, clutching his shoulder.
At this moment, both Dugu Yan and Yu Feng had consumed a considerable amount of their soul power.
Ye Lingling is alright.
However, the three of them tacitly refrained from interfering with the duel between Yu Tianheng and Ye Xuanming.
In an instant, only Yu Tianheng and Ye Xuanming remained on the field.
The Thunder Dragon Claw clashed with the Ink Jade Blue Silver Spear.
Boom!
A huge explosion reverberated throughout the training ground.
As the dust settled, the two were still standing, but Yu Tianheng was clearly more disheveled.
His clothes were torn by his own lightning, his hair was a mess, and there were several bloody marks on his face.
In contrast, Ye Xuanming was almost completely unharmed, except for some wrinkles in his clothes.
"I lost," Yu Tianheng admitted with a wry smile.
Qin Ming stepped forward, his face full of shock.
"Xuanming, your strength has improved way too fast!"
Ye Xuanming put away his martial spirit and shook his head.
"It was just luck; the captain's dragon transformation gets stronger as it progresses."
Dugu Yan ran over and excitedly hugged Ye Xuanming's arm.
"Xuanming, you're amazing! Even the captain is no match for you!"
Ye Lingling also came over, smiling gently.
"That battle was truly spectacular."
Yu Feng wiped away his sweat and sighed:
"I thought we were going to get crushed by the captain and his team, but we ended up winning."
Oslow muttered resentfully from the side, "If Dugu Yan's poison hadn't been so potent, how could we have possibly lost?"
"Oslo, a bet is a bet." Yu Tianheng patted him on the shoulder. "Besides, Dugu Yan hasn't even used her third soul skill yet."
Upon hearing this, Oslow immediately shut up.
He had witnessed the power of Dugu Yan's third soul skill; that purple poisonous fog was simply a nightmare.
Qin Ming observed the students, lost in thought.
"It seems that this opportunity has been of great help to you all, especially Xuanming."
He paused for a moment, then continued:
"But that's good too, it's always a good thing to improve your strength. There's still some time before the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, so you must continue to work hard."
"Teacher, we definitely will!" Dugu Yan replied confidently.
Outside the training field, Qian Renxue had seen enough; this Ye Xuanming was indeed no ordinary person.
The training session had just ended when the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the field.
Ye Xuanming was preparing to pack his things when he suddenly heard Qin Ming's respectful voice: "Your Highness, what brings you here?"
Everyone froze, turning their heads in unison to look at the entrance to the training ground.
A handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes walked in, followed by several guards.
The young man, dressed in a magnificent blue robe, exuded aristocratic elegance in every gesture; he was none other than Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The members of the Royal Fighting Team hurriedly bowed, even the usually arrogant Dugu Yan restrained his usual flamboyance.
