The enormous claw that appeared was the Dark Gold Dragon Claw bestowed by the Golden Dragon King bloodline, and terrifying dragon scales emerged along with it.
The Golden Dragon Claw itself doubled his strength, while those special Golden Scales amplified it even further. In an instant, Ye Ling's strength increased countless times over, shattering everything in its path.
At that moment, a fierce golden light flashed through Ye Ling's eyes as the powerful aura of the Golden Dragon King erupted completely from his body.
"Roar!" A dragon's roar burst forth from Ye Ling's hand, vast and surging. Everyone present felt their hearts tremble, as though an immense pressure had descended upon them.
Lord of Kuangsha City watched this unfold, astonishment flashing in his eyes. Now this was going to be a real fight.
It seemed this match had become suspenseful. Ye Ling had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
As for Li Xin and Nalan Shu, they both gaped in stunned disbelief.
What kind of move was that?
They had spent so long with Ye Ling?
They truly had no idea he possessed such power. If they had known, they would have focused on cultivating him long ago.
He was far too mysterious.
At this moment, even Li Xin found herself unable to understand him.
It was simply too profound.
"It's stable now. The Golden Dragon Claw truly is terrifying. This isn't merely a gap in strength—it also possesses armor-piercing properties. If it strikes an opponent head-on, then no matter how powerful their External Spiritual Power is, it can instantly break through their defenses and create an enormous advantage!"
Ye Ling muttered to himself. Then, without further hesitation, he swung the Golden Dragon Claw and charged straight at Wang Yuanyuan.
The two attacks collided, and terrifying light erupted in every direction. A mournful cry could be heard from within it.
For some reason, those watching could vaguely see, within the battle between Ye Ling and Wang Yuanyuan, a man wielding a massive shield repeatedly striking at a golden giant dragon before him.
Yet they could faintly sense that, in terms of strength, the shield-wielding man was still far inferior to that golden giant dragon.
Another clash ended. This time, neither retreated. Ye Ling and Wang Yuanyuan were simply standing quite close to one another. Looking at Wang Yuanyuan's pretty face, Ye Ling said calmly, "If you have anything else, use it."
"This shouldn't be your full strength yet." Ye Ling looked at Wang Yuanyuan and spoke seriously.
It was time to wrap up this match.
He knew what Wang Yuanyuan's trump card was.
"You're very strong." Wang Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and spoke seriously. She could tell from their previous clash that Ye Ling's level of strength exceeded hers, whether in External Spiritual Power or raw physical force.
Although she was having trouble enduring it now, she wanted badly to win.
Losing was not frightening, but losing without giving it her all was the one thing Wang Yuanyuan could not accept.
With that thought, she silently stepped back. The storage treasure on her body flickered a few times, and in the next moment, an enormous shield appeared in her hand and slammed viciously into the ground. The powerful aura it released made everyone break into a cold sweat.
"A Glorious-grade Shield?"
"How is that possible?"
"Can she control it?"
Nalan Shu and Lord of Kuangsha City reacted at once, astonishment flashing through their eyes as they looked incredulously toward Wang Yuanyuan. Their shock eventually turned into bitter smiles. As Branch Hall Masters and Fifth-rank Knights, all they possessed were Spirit-Magic equipment, while Wang Yuanyuan had directly brought out a Glorious-grade treasure. How could they not be shaken?
"Ye Ling, this is my strongest move." Wang Yuanyuan gritted her teeth. With her current strength, controlling the Giant Spirit God's Shield was extremely taxing. This would not be an easy fight.
She could only force herself to give it a try.
If she inserted gemstones, her strength could indeed soar, but that would be too troublesome.
"Come on." Ye Ling nodded.
Wang Yuanyuan gripped the Giant Spirit God's Shield as her aura erupted. A faint, illusory layer of light appeared around her body, resonating with the nearby space.
Although Wang Yuanyuan was a Shield Warrior, her attribute was actually space.
And unlike other Shield Warriors, who focused on defense, Wang Yuanyuan's shield abilities were all geared toward offense.
A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Ling's lips as he watched Wang Yuanyuan's condition.
If anyone else faced Wang Yuanyuan, they might worry about how to continue fighting.
But Ye Ling would not!
He also wielded Space Power!
Very soon, Wang Yuanyuan shifted in front of Ye Ling and prepared to attack him. Yet to her surprise, a dim gray light flashed around Ye Ling's body. His body trembled slightly—not out of fear, but because he too had entered the flow of space.
When Wang Yuanyuan brought her shield down, she immediately discovered that Ye Ling had completely evaded it.
"Hm?" Wang Yuanyuan was startled. She had not expected Ye Ling to possess Space Power as well.
However, she did not hesitate for long. She merely scanned the surroundings, continuously searching for Ye Ling's figure.
"Stop looking. I'm behind you." Ye Ling's voice rang out from behind her. Wang Yuanyuan was shocked and instantly turned, smashing her great shield toward Ye Ling.
Ye Ling took a step back and sent the Golden Dragon Claw on his right hand toward the Giant Spirit God's Shield. Wang Yuanyuan was startled. Ye Ling was strong, but she could sense that once her Giant Spirit God's Shield was unleashed, Ye Ling should have been no match for it and might even collapse outright!
It was a Glorious-grade treasure, after all!
Yet the instant the Golden Dragon Claw grasped the Giant Spirit God's Shield, Wang Yuanyuan suddenly heard a dull sound, causing them both to freeze in place.
And that was not all. At that moment, a dazzling golden ring filled with dense bloodline aura suddenly appeared behind Ye Ling, continuously flashing with a unique presence as it resonated with everything ahead.
"Golden Dragon Body." Wang Yuanyuan only heard Ye Ling murmur those words. Then, one extraordinary beam of light after another flashed across Ye Ling's body. Before Wang Yuanyuan's eyes, Ye Ling received another surge in power.
Every aspect of him was enhanced—speed, attack, defense, and strength all increased by at least fifty percent.
The boost to his strength was the most terrifying. Although he was still somewhat weaker than what the Giant Spirit God's Shield displayed, the gap was no longer significant.
It was even nearly nonexistent!
Wang Yuanyuan: "!!!"
Feeling this, Wang Yuanyuan froze. What kind of move was this?
You have this many enhancement skills—are you even human?
