She was a Soul Saint, while he was only a Soul Ancestor. Feeling the Martial Soul suppression Dugu Chen exerted on her, a cold glint flashed through Yu Xiaolong's eyes.
If he were allowed to grow, he would likely pose a serious threat to the sect's standing.
"Clan Uncle, no." Yu Tianheng spoke up from behind, wanting to stop Yu Xiaolong. A loss was a loss, and he could accept defeat.
"Tianheng, say no more. This is now a matter of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan's honor." Yu Xiaolong cut him off.
"Kid, let me show you the might of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
With that, a dazzling blue radiance flashed, and Yu Xiaolong completed his Martial Soul Possession. Unlike Yu Tianheng, he had practically become a humanoid tyrannosaur. His limbs turned into dragon claws, two dragon wings flapped behind his back, and diamond-shaped blue scales appeared on both cheeks.
Two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings rose beneath his feet, seven rings pulsing around his body.
Watching the situation on the field, Zhi Lin found himself caught in a dilemma. The voice transmission he had received earlier left him uncertain whether he should step in.
"Dad, aren't those people from the Blue Lightning Sect shameless? At his age, he's bullying someone younger." From afar, Ning Rongrong looked disdainfully at Yu Xiaolong on the field.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly. "Then I'll have Sword Uncle lend him a hand later. What do you think?"
Ning Rongrong nodded happily and gave Sword Douluo beside her a radiant smile.
Sword Douluo was utterly charmed by his little princess's smile. Though he knew Dugu Chen had powerful backing and would be fine, Soul Power surged through him as he prepared to act at any moment.
On the field, Dugu Chen felt the violent Soul Power emanating from Yu Xiaolong. He quickly mobilized the Soul Power within his body, temporarily standing toe-to-toe with his opponent.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaolong drove his Soul Power to its fullest. The enormous phantom of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon behind him let out an earth-shaking dragon roar.
Once his opponent went all out, Dugu Chen could no longer hold on. Though he was powerful, there was still a gap between him and a Soul Saint. He could only contend with him briefly.
Seeing this, Sword Douluo below the stage and Dugu Bo in the shadows had their Martial Souls flickering behind them, ready to strike at any moment.
As Dugu Chen looked at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon before him, his heart suddenly began pounding faster. His eyes turned golden, and an inexplicable agitation welled up in his heart. He desperately wanted to tear his opponent apart.
"Get lost!"
With a furious roar, it seemed as though an enormous Golden Dragon Shadow flashed behind Dugu Chen, roaring in fury toward the front.
Mighty dragon might swept across the entire arena. Whether Beast Martial Souls or Tool Martial Souls, everyone felt their Martial Souls tremble, as if they wanted to submit to him.
"What is this..." Xue Qinghe stared at Dugu Chen in shock. That feeling just now was the resonance between Martial Souls of the same level.
"Sword Uncle, that was..." Ning Fengzhi, too, looked at Sword Douluo beside him in astonishment.
"It probably isn't Twin Martial Souls. It seems more like a bloodline awakening. Young people these days are truly incredible." Sword Douluo's hesitant voice rang out. Even he had felt the suppression of his Martial Soul just now.
Looking at Dugu Bo, who had already arrived at Dugu Yan's side, Sword Douluo could not help sighing. Just what kind of monster had the man taken as his disciple?
"What was that?"
"I just felt so oppressed that I couldn't even circulate my Soul Power."
The students around the arena exchanged bewildered looks, then felt a chill run through their hearts.
"Grandpa, Junior Brother..." Dugu Yan looked worriedly at Dugu Bo beside her.
"Don't worry. Your grandpa will act. If I don't show my power, every stray cat and dog will think they can bully my disciple. I never expected Chen'er to gain something unexpected this time." Dugu Bo stared at the field, his voice brimming with killing intent.
The moment the dragon shadow appeared behind Dugu Chen, immense pressure filled the entire arena. In an instant, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons of Yu Xiaolong and Yu Tianheng seemed to have encountered something terrifying and immediately withered.
Yu Tianheng staggered and dropped to one knee on the field. Yu Xiaolong's Martial Soul Possession broke apart, and no matter how he summoned it, it refused to emerge. Trembling, he said, "What the hell are you?!"
"Hmph! How dare you question my disciple?"
Dugu Bo stepped before Dugu Chen and glared fiercely at Yu Xiaolong.
Seeing his teacher, Dugu Chen finally relaxed. He withdrew his Martial Soul, only for an overwhelming sense of weakness to hit him. He drew upon Earth Power, slowly replenishing what his body had consumed.
He had never expected such a huge commotion. He had no idea what had happened just now. He didn't have Twin Martial Souls! Nor had any great dragon race powerhouse ever appeared among his ancestors, had they?
That attack had nearly drained him dry. Luckily, his recovery was strong enough; otherwise, he probably would not even be able to stand now.
As he recovered, he felt that his physical strength, resilience, and Soul Power circulation had all improved.
He looked delightedly at Yu Xiaolong, who was barely holding on under Dugu Bo's suppression, and could not help feeling that the man truly was generous. He had practically offered up his face to be slapped, and even given him a grand gift.
"Dugu Bo, think this through. Are you going to make an enemy of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"
Feeling Dugu Bo's killing intent, Yu Xiaolong spoke viciously.
"You dare threaten me!"
A cold light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. He swiftly gave Yu Xiaolong and Yu Tianheng each a seemingly casual palm strike.
Looking at the two men, who had yet to understand what was happening, Dugu Bo said, "You have both been poisoned by my Lifebound Poison. No one in the world but me can cure it. Go back and tell Old Dragon that if he wants to save you, he can come find me at Dugu Manor."
Yu Xiaolong stared at Dugu Bo in horror. At the spots where he and Yu Tianheng had been struck, thin green threads were slowly spreading outward.
Casting Dugu Bo a fearful glance, he took Yu Tianheng and hurried back toward the sect.
Yu Tianheng looked back at Dugu Chen, whose complexion had regained its rosy color, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart. Today, he had utterly disgraced the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. He had no idea what punishment awaited him when he returned.
Watching Yu Tianheng leave, Zhi Lin sighed helplessly. The other party would not be coming back. He had ultimately failed to complete His Majesty's task. Turning to look at the other protagonist, he was relieved that this one was still here.
Dugu Bo led Dugu Chen over to meet up with Dugu Yan and the others below.
"Junior Brother, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Dugu Yan rushed forward and anxiously began feeling Dugu Chen all over.
"Yanyan, does this brat look injured to you?" Dugu Bo said irritably.
Seeing Dugu Chen's rosy complexion and steady breathing, clearly not the look of someone injured, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Xue Qinghe and his group came over to Dugu Chen.
"Brother Chen, I witnessed such a thrilling Soul Combat the moment I arrived. Looks like I'll have to come by more often from now on," Xue Qinghe teased.
Looking at Xue Qinghe, Dugu Chen said, "This place is owned by your family. You can come whenever you want, but it's better if there are fewer incidents like today."
Although he did not understand his own condition, if Yu Xiaolong's situation happened a few more times, all his trump cards would be exposed. How would he catch his enemies off guard in the future?
