The sky above the Dueling Arena was thick with dark clouds, lightning flashing across it.
Su Ze, the center of everyone's attention, was surrounded by surging white lightning.
He didn't rush to attack. After all, he had the skill Gale Rush, which let him blink from place to place.
He planned to wait until the dark clouds had fully gathered and the power of the lightning was completely roused before unleashing his ultimate move.
Then he would end the fight in one stroke.
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw."
During the standoff, Yu Tianheng lost his patience and made the first move.
The first yellow Soul Ring behind him lit up, and a vast amount of lightning instantly gathered around his hands.
Yu Tianheng's sturdy frame burst into astonishing speed. In the space of a moment, he was right in front of Su Ze.
The dragon claw, charged with lightning, shot straight toward Su Ze.
The crackling electricity let out one explosive boom after another as it tore through the air.
"As expected of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Its power is formidable, yet you can still move this fast."
Watching the attack rush toward him, Su Ze deliberately taunted Yu Tianheng in a calm voice.
According to the books, Soul Masters who underwent beast transformation generally grew more powerful, but also became more irritable.
He had to wait for the lightning to be fully roused, anyway.
So he might as well pretend to look down on Yu Tianheng.
That would get under his skin and make him reveal even more openings.
Then, when Su Ze unleashed his ultimate move—
he could finish him in one strike!
Sure enough, when Yu Tianheng heard Su Ze's remark, his face twisted with fury in midair.
"Are you looking down on me?"
"You're still making comments in the face of my attack?"
Enraged by Su Ze's behavior, Yu Tianheng put even more force into his strike.
He had decided that, at the very least, he would leave his junior lying in bed for half a month after this fight.
That would teach the brat that looking down on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon came at a terrible price!
In the blink of an eye, Yu Tianheng reached Su Ze. Seeing him stand motionless before him, Yu Tianheng was already certain of his victory!
He didn't believe Su Ze's body could withstand his First Soul Skill.
"Daring to look down on me, Yu Tianheng!"
"Go lie in bed!"
Just as Yu Tianheng grinned and brought his hand down, he was shocked to discover something strange.
His palm passed straight through the Su Ze in front of him, as if he were only a phantom.
At the same time, a meter behind where Su Ze had been standing, his figure appeared again.
"A phantom? How is that possible? How can you move that fast?"
Looking at Su Ze, who had reappeared, and the afterimage left before him, Yu Tianheng understood at once that he had been tricked.
This kid named Su Ze actually had a Soul Skill that was something like teleportation.
"Nothing's impossible, senior."
"This fight ends now!"
Feeling the dark clouds overhead finish gathering and the lightning's power fully rouse, Su Ze slowly raised both hands.
White lightning burst from his body, several times stronger than before.
The violent lightning shredded his already tattered shirt.
The clouds above the Dueling Arena began to spin wildly, forming a vast vortex of lightning.
Under the overwhelming might of the heavens, an aura of destruction filled the entire arena.
Against that aura, Su Ze's black hair turned white, and he floated into the air. His bright eyes transformed into Electric Eyes.
At that moment, Su Ze became the ruler of lightning on the Dueling Arena.
"I am Heavenly Wrath, the sharp sword hanging over the heads of all mankind!"
Lightning blazed in Su Ze's eyes. Enveloped by thunder, his majestic voice rang out in every direction.
"Shatter the Darkness with Thunder!"
His words rang like thunder.
As the final syllable fell, the lightning that had built to its peak in the sky came crashing down.
Boom!
In an instant, several bolts of furious white lightning poured from the center of the vortex like a torrential downpour!
The entire Dueling Arena became a sea of thunder and lightning. The dazzling light made every spectator squeeze their eyes shut.
A deafening roar drowned out every other sound!
Yu Tianheng's pupils shrank to pinpoints beneath that vast, heavenly might.
He felt even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul he took such pride in trembling faintly.
Feeling the fear in his heart, Yu Tianheng looked utterly incredulous.
Facing Su Ze, who also possessed a Lightning Attribute Martial Soul, he actually felt fear.
For Yu Tianheng, this was not only a humiliation to himself.
It was also a humiliation to the Blue Electric Dragon Tyrant Martial Soul.
"I have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the strongest Martial Soul of the Lightning Attribute!"
"How could I possibly lose?"
"Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Force!"
The veins on Yu Tianheng's face bulged, and his eyes turned bloodshot. When fear reached its peak, it became fury.
The two yellow Soul Rings around him flashed again and again.
Boundless lightning burst beneath his feet. Driven by his desire to wash away the humiliation, Yu Tianheng roared and attacked Su Ze in the sky.
"Senior Yu Tianheng, weakness isn't frightening. Cowardice is."
"Senior, I can sense cowardice in you."
"Cowards are worthless!"
"Let me teach you what true Thunderous Force looks like."
"Where Thunder Strikes, nothing remains!"
As he spoke the final words, Su Ze swept both hands forward.
Furious lightning poured out, crashing toward Yu Tianheng like heavenly punishment.
Provoked by Su Ze's earlier taunts, Yu Tianheng erupted once more.
Countless Blue-Purple Dragon-Shaped Electric Lights burst from his body and coiled around him, forming a Lightning Domain that served as both offense and defense.
He tried to withstand the Judgment Lightning descending from the sky.
The two forces of lightning met in midair.
In an instant—
the victor was clear!
The white Pure Yang Lightning carried the will to crush everything, effortlessly tearing through the Blue-Purple Dragon-Shaped Electric Lights.
Yu Tianheng's Lightning Domain was like a sheet of ice struck by a boulder. It shattered at once!
"Argh—!"
Yu Tianheng was struck by countless fine White Electric Snakes. His entire body convulsed violently as the furious Lightning Power poured into him, wreaking havoc.
His transformed arm instantly returned to normal.
Lightning swallowed him whole and sent him flying.
He left a charred streak across the hard arena floor.
The light slowly faded, and the Thunder Roar gradually subsided.
On the Dueling Arena, Su Ze floated in the sky, powerful lightning still coursing around him like the Thunder God come to earth.
More than ten meters away, Yu Tianheng lay on the ground, his clothes charred and torn, his hair standing on end.
A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing was labored.
Yu Tianheng was now completely unable to move.
Below the arena, a deathly silence fell.
Every student stared at the scene with their mouths agape, unable to believe their eyes.
That new arrival, the unknown Su Ze—
had actually defeated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon prodigy Yu Tianheng head-on!
The gravely injured Yu Tianheng stared at the figure in the sky, like a Thunder God, and murmured, "Where Thunder Strikes, nothing remains... Is this the true might of thunder?"
