Douluo Traversal: I Pulled Out a Dou Technique—Aren't You Going to Explode? Part 24

Dugu Yan naturally knew that Liu Bai was strong. Even when Liu Bai had still been a Soul Master, his strength had already surpassed that of the vast majority of Soul Grandmasters.

Now that he had broken through to Soul Grandmaster, even ordinary Soul Elders were absolutely no match for him. Moreover, Dugu Yan was certain that Liu Bai had also cultivated his own technique. Thinking about it that way, she truly could not grasp Liu Bai's current strength.

At the very least, she did not believe she was Liu Bai's match.

When they arrived at the dueling platform, Qin Ming prepared to draw lots as usual, but Yu Tianheng stepped forward at that moment.

"Teacher Qin Ming, may I fight Liu Bai first?"

Qin Ming looked at Liu Bai upon hearing this. His meaning was obvious—he was asking for Liu Bai's opinion.

A smile curled across Liu Bai's lips as he slipped his arm free from Dugu Yan's hold.

With a single leap, he landed on the dueling platform, directly making his stance clear.

Yu Tianheng leaped up as well.

He spoke first.

"Liu Bai, today, we must determine who is stronger!"

Liu Bai extended one hand.

"I was hoping for that!"

Yu Tianheng raised his hand, and three Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.

Yellow, yellow, purple!

They displayed the fact that he had now broken through to become a Soul Elder.

"Liu Bai, I know you've obtained your second Soul Ring too. Show it!"

"As you wish."

Two Soul Rings rose beneath Liu Bai's feet. In the next moment, everyone present widened their eyes and sucked in a sharp breath.

"A... a thousand-year one!"

"Holy shit, a thousand-year Soul Ring? Am I seeing this right?!"

"A thousand-year second ring?!"

A wave of discussion immediately erupted below the platform. Even Qin Ming was thoroughly shocked by Liu Bai's Soul Ring configuration.

A thousand-year second Soul Ring?! How was that possible?!

How could a two-ring Soul Grandmaster absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring? How could he withstand such enormous energy?!

A thousand-year second ring—what was that supposed to make him, a Soul Emperor whose fifth Soul Ring was also thousand-year?

Yu Tianheng stared blankly at the thousand-year Soul Ring circling Liu Bai, finally unable to keep it together anymore!

Seriously, bro?

You made your second Soul Ring purple?!

"How did you do it?!"

Liu Bai replied.

"My physical condition is just a little stronger, that's all."

What a shameless flex! He was definitely showing off!

Liu Bai had finally learned how to show off, and he did it in such a plain, unpretentious way.

Yu Tianheng furrowed his brow.

"Even if your second Soul Ring is thousand-year, you'll still definitely lose to me this time!"

"Then let's find out!"

The auras of the two men had already climbed to their peaks.

Qin Ming raised a hand.

"The match begins!"

Boom! Boom!

With two explosive blasts, blazing flames and dazzling lightning instantly erupted around the two of them!

Yu Tianheng sharply noticed the change in the color of Liu Bai's flames. What was going on? Could a Martial Soul change after it had awakened?

But Liu Bai gave him no time to think.

He stomped hard with his rear foot, his body shooting forward like an arrow loosed from a bow and closing in on Yu Tianheng's face in the blink of an eye!

So fast!

Yu Tianheng hurriedly raised his arms to block!

A terrifying force surged through his arms.

"What?!"

Yu Tianheng's body slid backward uncontrollably. What terrifying strength!

"You can't take it already, Yu Tianheng?"

"Damn it, don't underestimate me! I'm a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"

Rumble!!

Martial Soul Possession!

First Soul Skill, Thunderbolt Dragon Claw!

Second Soul Skill, Thunderbolt Strike!

With a thunderous roar, the lightning around Yu Tianheng surged wildly, and the already formidable fluctuations of his Soul Power rose to another level!

The sleeve on his right arm was instantly shredded by violent lightning. The exposed arm had completely changed shape, becoming thicker and covered in fine dark-blue dragon scales. His five fingers transformed into vicious claws, lightning flickering at their tips. This was the signature ability of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul—Dragon Transformation!

"Liu Bai! This is the true power of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"

Yu Tianheng roared, lightning flashing in his eyes, filled with determination and madness.

Dragon Transformation brought not only a tremendous increase in strength, but also a massive enhancement to his lightning attribute. He was confident that, in his current state, he could crush anyone at the same level!

Liu Bai's heart stirred slightly. Dragon Transformation, a secret art unlocked by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul after level thirty.

After using it, one's strength increased dramatically. Yu Tianheng's strength, speed, defense, attributes, and everything else had now greatly improved!

Liu Bai pulled back to create distance.

"Not bad, Yu Tianheng. You're very strong, but unfortunately, you ran into me!"

"Arrogant! If you have the guts, don't dodge this move! Third Soul Skill, Dragon's Fury!"

His third Soul Ring shone with brilliant purple light, and the lightning around him surged once more!

Dugu Yan and the others below the platform were secretly alarmed. Yu Tianheng truly lived up to being a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's current generation. He had only just broken through to Soul Elder, yet even Soul Masters who had remained at the Soul Elder realm for several years might not be able to defeat him.

Unfortunately, he had encountered Liu Bai.

Dugu Yan had noticed it: aside from summoning his Martial Soul out of courtesy at the beginning, Liu Bai had not even used a single Soul Skill afterward.

He had been fighting entirely with Self-Created Soul Skills!

The gap between the two had already become an insurmountable chasm.

Everyone watching knew it. Qin Ming knew it, Dugu Yan knew it, Ye Lingling knew it—so how could Yu Tianheng not know?

But the pride in his heart would not allow him to admit it!

Admit that he would be defeated by someone seven years younger than him!

"Fine!"

As soon as Yu Tianheng finished speaking, Liu Bai actually stood still on the spot!

Chapter 27: Crushing Victory, Yu Tianheng Defeated!

He raised his hand!

In an instant, Dou Qi erupted forth!

Golden Flame surged violently from Liu Bai's body, blazing fire rolling through the air.

He still did not use any Soul Skill.

Yet that mass of Golden Flame seemed to possess intelligence, flowing freely under the pull of his will, rising and falling as it expanded and contracted!

This sight sent a fierce jolt through everyone present!

Another Self-Created Soul Skill!

Amid the surging flames, Liu Bai's voice slowly emerged from within the Golden Flame. His tone was calm, yet carried absolute confidence.

"Then I'll use this move to defeat you."

"Come on, Liu Bai!!"

Boom—!

Almost at the same instant, both men moved!!

Liu Bai's fist, wrapped layer upon layer in flame and Dou Qi, collided head-on with Yu Tianheng's fist after Dragon Transformation!

Dazzling Fire Fist!

Dragon's Fury!

Rumble—!!!

The ultimate collision between flame and lightning suddenly exploded at the center of the arena!

Blinding light instantly swallowed everyone's vision. A violent shockwave of energy swept in all directions, making the clothes of those below the platform snap wildly in the wind. The blast rushed at them head-on, nearly making it impossible to open their eyes!

At the very center of the light.

Their fists were locked tightly together, neither yielding an inch!

Golden-red and dark-blue flames intertwined and churned madly, constantly colliding with and annihilating the blue-violet arcs of lightning.
