The Compromise of the Seven Treasure Sect Master, Shattering the "Absolute Defense"!

The Elite Tournament of Advanced Spirit Master Academies continued to rage on with intense fervor.

Thanks to that stunning victory over the Elephant Armor Sect, the World Burial Team (Heaven Dou Team One) had become the overwhelming favorite to win the championship. The name Yu Tianyu had become a deity in the dreams of countless young girls and a nightmare in the hearts of countless young men.

In the corridor of the rest area.

Yu Tianyu was leading his team members toward the preparation area.

Two groups of people approached from the opposite direction.

On the left was a group of youths in cyan uniforms. The leader was tall and slender, wearing a mask, though his eyes drifted toward the right from time to time. It was none other than the captain of Kamikaze Academy, Feng Xiaotian.

On the right was a group of students in fiery red uniforms, radiating intense heat. The leading girl was tall, her short golden-red hair burning like flames. She was incredibly beautiful, but her brow carried a sense of pride and wildness that refused to submit to anyone.

The vice-captain of Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu.

"So that's Yu Tianyu?"

Huo Wu stopped in her tracks, arms crossed over her chest, her gaze unabashedly scanning Yu Tianyu as if inspecting prey. "He looks decent enough, but I wonder if he's just a flashy vase."

"Little sister Huo Wu!"

Feng Xiaotian hurried over, acting like a lapdog. "Don't be impulsive. This guy is very strange. Even that big lug Huyan Li was sliced up by them like vegetables..."

"Shut up, Feng Xiaotian."

Huo Wu glared at him with disgust. "Huyan Li is a stupid pig; it's normal that he lost. Our Blazing Fire Academy is different. I will make him know what it means to be consumed by fire."

With that, Huo Wu walked straight up to Yu Tianyu, lifted her chin, and challenged him:

"Hey, you're Yu Tianyu, right? Our next match is against you. Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Yu Tianyu stopped and looked down at the woman who resembled a little chili pepper.

He had to admit, Huo Wu was beautiful—a vibrant, wild beauty that was completely different from the coldness of Zhu Zhuqing or the allure of Dugu Yan.

"What's the bet?" Yu Tianyu asked indifferently.

"If we win, I want you to publicly admit that the World Burial Team is inferior to Blazing Fire Academy, and... take off that high-and-mighty mask of yours and be my sparring partner for a month!" Huo Wu said, full of confidence.

"And if you lose?" A playful smirk tugged at the corner of Yu Tianyu's mouth.

"If we lose..." Huo Wu bit her red lip, "I'll be at your disposal!"

"Fine."

Yu Tianyu took a step forward, forcing Huo Wu to lean back.

"Remember what you said. I'm not interested in anything else. If you lose, you will obediently call me 'Master' whenever you see me from now on."

"You!!" Huo Wu was choked with anger, her cheeks flushing red. "Arrogant! Just wait until you're burned to ashes!"

After saying this, she turned and stormed off in a huff.

Watching his goddess being teased, Feng Xiaotian felt his heart shatter. He turned and glared at Yu Tianyu: "Yu Tianyu! How dare you be rude to little sister Huo Wu! I challenge you!"

Yu Tianyu didn't even glance at him, walking straight past him while leaving behind only a light, airy remark:

"Where did this stray dog come from? So noisy."

Feng Xiaotian froze in place, feeling as if he had taken a ton of critical damage.

Half an hour later, on the arena stage.

World Burial Team vs. Blazing Fire Academy.

The attention on this match even surpassed yesterday's. Everyone wanted to know if Yu Tianyu's team could maintain their crushing dominance against fire-type spirit masters with extreme explosive power.

"Both teams, summon your spirits!"

Boom!

On the Blazing Fire Academy side, all seven members possessed fire-type spirits. Huo Wu stood in the center; although she was a control-type, her presence was even more imposing than that of their captain, Huo Wushuang.

"Yu Tianyu! Today I'll show you what a Resisting Fire Ring is!"

Huo Wu let out a sharp cry, and the third Spirit Ring on her body suddenly lit up.

Third Spirit Skill: Resisting Fire Ring!

A dazzling golden-red ring of light erupted from her center, carrying immense repulsive force and high temperatures, aiming to scatter the formation of the World Burial Team instantly.

However.

A scene that shocked everyone unfolded.

Yu Tianyu waved his hand, signaling Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others behind him to retreat.

He actually walked forward alone, hands in his pockets, strolling casually toward that terrifying ring of fire!

"Is he crazy?"

"That's a Resisting Fire Ring! It can repel all physical and energy attacks!"

The audience gasped in alarm.

But the next second, the gasps turned into horror.

The moment the scorching Resisting Fire Ring made contact with Yu Tianyu's body, there was no violent collision, nor was he sent flying.

Instead... it was like subjects encountering their king; the violent flames actually parted on their own!

Yu Tianyu walked right through the ring of fire, completely unscathed, not even a single strand of his hair singed.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Huo Wu's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost. "My fire... why is it ineffective against you?!"

She refused to believe it!

"Fourth Spirit Skill: Fire Dance Shining Sun!"

Huo Wu raised both hands high, a massive fireball resembling a miniature sun condensing in her palms. The temperature soared instantly, causing the very air to distort.

"Go to hell!!"

She poured all her strength into hurling the fireball, which contained terrifyingly high temperatures, toward Yu Tianyu, who was standing right in front of her.

Facing the massive incoming fireball.

Yu Tianyu still did not dodge.

He slowly extended his right hand. He did not release a Spirit Skill from his palm; instead, a strange red and blue halo shimmered faintly.

That was the ultimate physique tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

That was the body of the Dragon God, possessing the aura of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King!

"Snap."

Yu Tianyu's hand grabbed the fireball, which was hot enough to melt steel, directly.

It was as if he were grabbing a harmless rubber ball.

"This fire is too weak."

Yu Tianyu commented indifferently.

Then, amidst Huo Wu's terrified gaze, he clenched his five fingers tightly.

"Puff!"

That massive Fire Dance Shining Sun was actually crushed by him, just like that! It turned into sparks that filled the sky, dissipating into the air.

"Are you... are you human or a ghost?" Huo Wu's legs went weak, and she stumbled backward.

As a fire-type Spirit Master, this feeling of having her flames completely immunized and even suppressed filled her with deep despair. It was like a child playing with fire encountering the true monarch of flames.

"I am your creditor."

Yu Tianyu flashed forward, appearing instantly in front of Huo Wu.

He wrapped an arm around her slender, explosive waist and pulled her forcibly into his embrace.

"Let go of me!" Huo Wu struggled desperately, trying to release her spirit power.

"Don't move."

Yu Tianyu lowered his head, his heterochromatic pupils flashing with a soul-captivating light. "Your fire is useless against me. If you keep struggling, I don't mind collecting some interest right here in front of everyone."

As he spoke, his palm exerted a slight pressure, and a more domineering, pure ultimate fire flowed from his palm into Huo Wu's body.

"Ugh--!!"

Huo Wu's entire body stiffened, her face instantly flushing red.

That was the absolute suppression of a higher-level flame over a lower-level one! Her Fire Shadow spirit was actually trembling, surrendering to this man!

"You lost this match."

Yu Tianyu let go, pushing the limp Huo Wu back toward the Blazing Fire Team.

"Remember our bet."

"Next time we meet, remember to call me Master."

After saying this, Yu Tianyu turned around and waved at the referee.

"Boring. Let's call it a day."

The referee stood stunned for several seconds before trembling as he raised his hand: "Heaven Dou Royal Academy, wins!"

The entire arena erupted!

If the match against the Elephant Armor Sect was a display of physical violence, then this match against the Blazing Fire Team was an absolute miracle of elemental dominance!

Fire immunity!

This label was instantly attached to Yu Tianyu, making him appear even more unfathomable.

The tournament continued.

The next match was Shrek Academy vs. Thunder Academy.

Thunder Academy, the leader of the five elemental academies, was backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

And before the match began.

Yu Tianyu arrived at the Thunder Academy's resting area.

Every team member here is either a direct or collateral descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Seeing Yu Tianyu enter, everyone stood up in unison, their eyes filled with awe and reverence.

"Young Master!"

Yu Tianyu's status within the clan now surpassed the Twin Stars; he had been designated by Yu Yuanzhen as the sole heir and the leader of the clan's younger generation.

"Cousin Tianxin."

Yu Tianyu looked toward the handsome young man sitting in the very center—Yu Tianxin. He was the strongest of this generation besides Yu Heng, a level 43 assault-type battle Spirit Master.

"Tianyu, what are your orders?" Yu Tianxin asked respectfully.

Although he was the elder cousin, in the world of Spirit Masters, the capable are treated as masters. Yu Tianyu's strength left him no choice but to submit.

"For this match, your opponent is Shrek."

A cold glint flashed in Yu Tianyu's eyes, "Especially that control-type Spirit Master named Tang San."

"I want you to do one thing."

"Even if you lose the match, you must force him to use his full strength."

"I want to see his second martial soul. Do you understand?"

Yu Tianxin was stunned, then a fierce fighting spirit erupted in his eyes: "Understood! The clan has long rumored that this Tang San is a variable. Rest assured, Young Master, I will use the most violent thunder to tear his Blue Silver Grass to shreds!"

"Go."

Yu Tianyu patted him on the shoulder, "Don't bring shame to the clan."

On the arena.

Thunderclouds gathered, and electric serpents danced wildly.

Yu Tianxin stood in the center of the arena, the phantom of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon roaring behind him. Two yellow and two purple Spirit Rings pulsed, and the tyrannical power of the thunder filled the surrounding air with the smell of scorched earth.

And opposite him.

Tang San's expression was grave to the extreme.

Although the Blue Silver Grass was tough and fire-resistant (due to consuming the Blazing Apricot Delicate), it didn't conduct electricity! Or rather, it conducted it too well!

Thunder suppresses grass!

This was an absolute disadvantage in terms of attributes.

"The match begins!"

"Third Spirit Skill: Wrath of the Thunder God!"

Yu Tianxin had no intention of testing the waters; he unleashed his full power right from the start. He kept Yu Tianyu's order in mind: winning was not the goal, only forcing out the trump card!

Boom!

Bathed in lightning, Yu Tianxin transformed into a bolt of blue electricity, charging toward Tang San in an instant.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

Tang San stepped into his mysterious footwork, attempting to dodge.

"Want to run? In your dreams!"

"Fourth Spirit Skill: Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Strike!"

Yu Tianxin roared, his right hand transforming into a massive dragon claw. A giant dragon formed entirely of lightning whistled out, directly sealing off all of Tang San's retreat paths.

The power of this strike was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Spirit Master!

"Blue Silver Cage!"

Tang San was forced to defend, and countless Blue Silver Grass erupted from the ground, forming a cage to protect himself.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!

However, in the face of the violent Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Strike, the Blue Silver Grass was like fragile, withered grass, instantly torn to shreds and charred.

The terrifying shockwaves of the lightning slammed heavily into Tang San.

"Pfft!"

Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood, his body scorched black, and he was thrown heavily to the edge of the arena.

Too strong!

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was known as the number one beast martial soul under heaven, and it was certainly no empty reputation. In the face of such absolute explosive power, the control-type Blue Silver Grass appeared so powerless.

"It's not over yet!"

Yu Tianxin gave Tang San no chance to catch his breath.

He leaped up again, a more terrifying thunder orb gathering on his dragon claw.

"The Young Master said to force out your trump card!"

"Let's see how long you can hide it! Go to hell!"

Boom!

Yu Tianxin descended from the sky, his thunderous strike aimed directly at the crown of Tang San's head.

This was a killing blow!

If he didn't block it, he would surely die!

Below the arena, Flender and Grandmaster were horrified: "San! Surrender! Hurry up and surrender!!"

Surrender?

Lying on the ground, Tang San's eyes were bloodshot.

No! I cannot surrender!

I have already lost to Yu Tianyu and lost to Shi Nian. If I can't even defeat a subordinate of Yu Tianyu now, what right do I have to talk about revenge? What right do I have to rebuild the Tang Sect?

The Blue Silver Grass could no longer block it.

The Eight Spider Lances were still in their recovery period and could not be used.

Hidden weapons were forbidden.

Then there was only...

In that split second between life and death.

Tang San's left hand rose uncontrollably.

A heavy, domineering black light, filled with an aura of destruction, instantly condensed in his palm.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

"Hum—"

A massive hammer, pitch-black and engraved with strange patterns, appeared out of thin air!

Although it had no Spirit Ring, the moment this hammer appeared, the lightning elements in the air were forcibly scattered!

The number one tool spirit under heaven—the Clear Sky Hammer!

"Chaotic Cloak!"

Tang San let out a beast-like roar, gripped the hammer handle with both hands, and used the force of his body's rotation to fiercely meet Yu Tianxin's thunderous dragon claw.

Rumble—!!!

An earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the entire Great Spirit Arena.

Blue lightning and black hammer shadows collided frantically.

The sturdy arena shattered instantly, sending gravel flying.

The dust settled.

Yu Tianxin was knocked back more than a dozen steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, as he stared at his opponent in shock.

As for Tang San, holding the black hammer, he stood proudly despite being covered in blood.

The entire arena was deathly silent.

Everyone's eyes were fixed firmly on the hammer in Tang San's hand.

In the VIP box.

Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall who had been wearing a gloomy expression, stood up abruptly the moment he saw the hammer, knocking over the chair behind him.

"That is..."

Salas's pupils contracted violently, his voice filled with a trace of disbelief and deep-seated hatred.

"The Clear Sky Hammer!!"

"He is a remnant of the Clear Sky Sect?! He is the son of Tang Hao?!"

Beside him, Ning Fengzhi sighed, his eyes complex. After hiding for so long, it was finally exposed after all.

High up in the spectator stands.

Yu Tianyu looked down at this scene, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Finally revealed yourself, little mouse."

"Now, I don't even need to lift a finger."

"The mad dogs of the Spirit Hall will take good care of you for me."

On the arena, Tang San finally snapped out of that frenzied state.

When he saw the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and felt the countless gazes of shock, inquiry, and... the undisguised killing intent from Salas, his heart sank to the bottom of the abyss.

It's over.

I've been exposed.

Below the stage, Grandmaster looked ashen, collapsing onto the ground: "It's over... everything is over..."

Once the secret of his twin spirits was exposed, combined with his identity as a member of the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang San would become a target that the Spirit Hall would stop at nothing to eradicate.

And all of this was within the calculations of the young man named Yu Tianyu.
