No need for the host to say much.
Whether Yu Tianheng or Sword Wine, both were renowned figures in the Imperial City Grand Fighting Arena.
Before Sword Wine.
Yu Tianheng had held the record for becoming a Silver Badge holder the fastest.
He possessed the top-tier beast spirit—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit—and was the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects. He was also the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Team.
There were simply too many halos above his head!
So many that he overshadowed the younger generation of Heaven Dou Imperial City!
However, Sword Wine's name was no less illustrious now.
He used only one sword strike per battle, won twenty-one matches in a row, and became a Silver Badge holder in record time.
His reputation had been carved out one sword strike at a time.
As the two stepped onto the arena.
The spectators screamed themselves hoarse as they cheered for their idols.
"Sword Wine! Fuck Yu Tianheng up!"
"Yu Tianheng! Break Sword Wine's sword for me!"
"One sword! Still one sword! Even against Yu Tianheng, Sword Wine will still use only one sword!"
"A level thirty-nine Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit! I don't see how Yu Tianheng could possibly lose!"
"Hey, asshole in front, what the fuck are you yapping about? Sword Wine is invincible!"
"Who the hell are you talking to? Want to have a spirit battle with me?!"
Before the spirit battle onstage could even begin.
The spectators below had already started fighting.
Li Zhixian glanced over and found it rather amusing.
"Sword Wine, isn't it a little inappropriate to be distracted at a time like this?"
Yu Tianheng spoke coldly. He felt that Sword Wine was disrespecting him.
Li Zhixian withdrew his gaze and deliberately lowered his voice.
"One sword."
"Hm?"
Yu Tianheng frowned.
"What did you say?"
"I will still use only one sword."
Yu Tianheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the white-clad figure several meters away before slowly saying,
"Sword Wine, you are underestimating me."
It was not just Yu Tianheng.
Upon hearing Li Zhixian's words.
Aside from his supporters practically climaxing with excitement, those who liked Yu Tianheng sneered and cursed angrily.
In the second-floor VIP room.
Yufeng clenched his fists.
"This guy is too arrogant!"
Osler frowned.
He too felt that Sword Wine was being far too overbearing.
The Shi Brothers slowly shook their heads like black bears.
Clearly, they also did not believe Sword Wine could defeat their captain with a single sword strike.
Ye Lingling said nothing. Her blue eyes remained fixed on the arena.
Dugu Yan's slender fingers played with her shoulder-length purple hair, while a teasing smile gave her face an enchanting air.
"Unless..."
"Sword Wine is still hiding his strength."
Xue Qinghe had returned to the third floor.
He stared at the arena and parted his red lips.
"Pufferfish, Snake Lance..."
"Please speak, Young Master."
"I will not allow Li Zhixian to be injured."
Pufferfish and Snake Lance sighed softly, then nodded.
"Yes."
The spirit battle had yet to begin.
Yet killing intent had already spread across the arena.
Yu Tianheng took a step forward.
A muffled thunderclap exploded out of thin air.
A purple Spirit Ring rose beneath his feet.
"Third Spirit Skill—Wrath of Thunder!"
Thunder Slag filled his eye sockets, while a foot-long Thunder Flame spilled from the corners of his eyes. Lightning surged beneath his exposed skin like a flood.
Crackle—!
Crackle—!
Within a three-foot radius around him, Thunder Snakes spread outward one after another.
The nearby spectators immediately felt their entire bodies go numb, their hair standing on end strand by strand.
Lightning had always been an attribute known for its offensive power.
Seeing Yu Tianheng, who seemed like a child of lightning itself, horror appeared on many spectators' faces.
But.
It was not over yet.
Two more Yellow Spirit Rings lit up in succession.
"First Spirit Skill—Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Blue-violet Dragon Scales patterns emerged over Yu Tianheng's arms. His fingernails extended into half-foot-long dragon claws, wrapped in crackling Lightning Arcs.
"Second Spirit Skill—Thunder's Might!"
Dozens of Thunder Snakes burst from his Dragon Scale-covered palms like a rain of lightning descending from the heavens, shooting toward Li Zhixian.
At the same time.
The Thunder Dragon Claw, empowered by Wrath of Thunder, also launched toward Li Zhixian.
All of this appeared slow, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.
Boom—!
Boom—!
Yu Tianheng charged like a thunderbolt.
Blue-violet Thunder Slag boiled between his scales.
Pebbles on the arena trembled faintly, drawn by the lightning until they floated into the air.
Thunder tore through the air.
The roar of a Tyrant Dragon could faintly be heard.
The blue-violet lightning illuminated face after face filled with terror.
The might of nature's fury was simply too frightening!
Yu Tianheng's full-force attack had exceeded everyone's expectations!
At this moment!
Even the spectators supporting Sword Wine fell silent!
On the second floor.
Yufeng let out a breath.
"It's been a long time since I saw Boss go all out!"
"One sword to defeat Boss?!
"I want to see how Sword Wine plans to block Boss's attack!"
Osler and the Shi Brothers nodded in agreement.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling watched the arena intently.
On the third floor.
"Calm. Far too calm."
Pufferfish Douluo said,
"From the moment Yu Tianheng used his spirit skills, Li Zhixian has not moved at all. He must have something to rely on."
Snake Lance Douluo became interested.
"Mm, we will not need to intervene."
"Still, I am quite curious. What trump card does Li Zhixian have to contend against a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon one rank above him?"
Xue Qinghe stared fixedly at Li Zhixian on the arena, a glint of gold blooming deep within his eyes.
The fierce wind stirred by Yu Tianheng's assault made Li Zhixian's white robes flutter wildly.
Li Zhixian's gaze abruptly sharpened, like a sword leaving its sheath.
Clang—!
A clear sword cry rang out.
A three-foot-six-inch azure blade appeared out of thin air before Li Zhixian.
He raised his hand.
And gripped the hilt.
The instant his five fingers closed.
A purple Spirit Ring attached itself to the Azure Lotus Sword.
"Second Spirit Skill—Three Sword Splendor!"
This was the Spirit Ring skill from the Mutated Spirit Beast—the Three-Tailed Swordtail Scorpion King!
For the next sword strike, Sword Speed x300%, Aura of Sharpness x300%!
The lotus imprint on the sword body slowly bloomed, releasing translucent Azure Light Energy and radiating an ultimate Aura of Sharpness.
In that instant.
All the spectators felt pain in their eyes and shut them in terror.
Li Zhixian's sword!
They could not look directly at it!
But Yu Tianheng was unafraid.
He sneered.
"Sword Wine, if this is all you have, then today, you are destined to lose!"
"Roar—!"
The lightning faintly condensed into a Tyrant Dragon roaring toward the sky.
This made Yu Tianheng's already terrifying presence even fiercer.
"Yu Tianheng, today, I will use you to test my self-created sword technique."
Under countless incredulous gazes.
Li Zhixian swung the Azure Lotus Sword, drawing a trail of shattered light like stardust.
He ran two fingers across the blade, and starlight immediately poured over the lotus on the sword body.
Buzz—!
Buzz—!
The Azure Lotus Sword swept out afterimages.
Its Sword Speed had now broken the sound barrier.
Even the air gave off fine tearing sounds.
Even dust was sliced in half wherever it passed.
Li Zhixian's palm went numb. He nearly lost his grip on the Azure Lotus Sword, which seemed ready to transform into a rainbow and fly away.
"Azure Lotus Sword Song First Style—Yaoguang Sword."
Facing Yu Tianheng as he pounced in for the kill.
Li Zhixian slashed out with one sword.
Wishing all dear readers a peaceful and healthy Dragon Boat Festival!
