Yu Tianheng's twin claws crackled with violent lightning as he lunged at Ling Yun and swiped with all his might.
His First Soul Skill not only strengthened his lightning power, but also enhanced his hand strength, making his claws sharper—like a dragon's.
Seeing Yu Tianheng charge so fiercely, Ling Yun quickly raised his bear paw and swung it at him. Their palms slammed together, and a deafening boom rang out.
The instant their palms collided, Yu Tianheng's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and cried out in shock.
"What? Your strength is actually this incredible..."
At that moment, Yu Tianheng felt a domineering force surge into his body, numbing him from head to toe and raising goose bumps all over his skin. His hands in particular hurt like they'd been broken!
"Heh, take a look at what I am now!"
Ling Yun chuckled, then continued, "I'm a bear now. You don't think all these muscles are for show, do you?"
As he spoke, Ling Yun raised his bear paw and swatted at Yu Tianheng's chest again, stirring up a fierce gust of wind.
Yu Tianheng didn't dare meet Ling Yun head-on. He hurriedly backed away to keep his distance.
He had a vague feeling that if Ling Yun's terrifying blow landed, his breastbone and internal organs would be severely damaged!
Watching Ling Yun, Yu Tianheng thought to himself: I thought this guy was all reputation and no substance. Who knew he'd be this strong?
My lightning does absolutely nothing to him, and even the strength I'm so proud of can't match his. It feels like the bones in both my arms are injured, too. What should I do now?
As Yu Tianheng stood at a loss, Dugu Yan, who was fighting the Huo siblings on the other side, noticed him falling behind and hurriedly shouted,
"Lingling, Tianheng's hurt. Go heal him."
"No problem."
Ye Lingling nodded gently. The Third Soul Ring beneath her feet glimmered, and a gentle radiance flowed into Yu Tianheng's body.
In an instant, Yu Tianheng felt refreshed. His fatigue vanished, and the broken bones in his arms healed as well.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Tianheng had completely recovered his fighting strength.
Seeing this, Huo Wushuang was stunned. "What? That arrogant guy... recovered that quickly?"
"Instantly heals injuries, and its shape resembles a begonia flower..."
Looking at Ye Lingling's Martial Soul, Huo Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be the miracle among Martial Souls, the number one healing Martial Soul in the world—the Nine Heart Begonia?"
"Heh, that's right. Looks like you know a thing or two."
Dugu Yan sneered. "I admit you're strong, but with Lingling here, we're invincible!"
"Is that so? Then conversely, if we eliminate that girl, you'll lose in no time. Am I wrong?"
As he spoke, Ling Yun quickly reminded Huo Wu, "Sister Huo Wu, take out the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master first. Otherwise, this fight will never end!"
"Got it!"
Huo Wu smiled, then strode forward. She became a fiery red blur and raced straight toward Ye Lingling.
"You want to eliminate Lingling? Dream on!"
Dugu Yan's pupils contracted sharply as she cried out. The Second Soul Ring beneath her feet flashed, and she opened her mouth to spit a streak of deep blue poison at Huo Wu.
"Second Soul Skill: Jade Phosphorus Blue Poison!"
Jade Phosphorus Blue Poison was a paralyzing toxin. When used on an ally, it could briefly boost their defense and prevent them from feeling pain.
When used on an enemy, it could instantly paralyze them, leaving them unable to move.
"Second Soul Skill: Flame Jet!"
Just as the Jade Phosphorus Blue Poison was about to hit Huo Wu, a scorching flame roared out at the last moment, striking the poison and vaporizing it completely.
The one who had intervened was none other than Huo Wushuang. He rubbed his nose and grinned. "Heh, I won't let you get in my sister's way!"
With that, Huo Wushuang charged straight at Dugu Yan, and the two began fighting.
Meanwhile, seeing Huo Wu run toward Ye Lingling, Yu Tianheng stopped bothering with Ling Yun and hurried to Ye Lingling's side to support her.
"Hmph, trying to run? Do you think I'll let you get away?"
Ling Yun took a step and chased after Yu Tianheng. But seeing his lumbering figure, Yu Tianheng smirked and mocked him.
"Five Spirit King, your strength as a giant bear is certainly impressive, but you're too slow. You'll never catch me. Once I've dealt with your teammates, I'll come back for you!"
"Is that so? Who told you I can only turn into one kind of beast warrior? Now I'll show you my Divine Wood Ape."
Ling Yun smiled, then gathered his Soul Power. The First Soul Ring beneath his feet glimmered.
"Five Spirits Power, transform!"
In an instant, pure Wood Spirit Soul Power enveloped his body. He soon transformed into a Divine Wood Ape, and the Power of Wood Spirit surged forth.
"Power of Wood Spirit: Entangle!"
Ling Yun swept his hand, and the dense Power of Wood Spirit became thick green vines that burst from the ground. They surrounded Yu Tianheng from every side and swept toward him.
In the blink of an eye, several thick vines tightly bound his limbs, leaving him unable to move.
"Damn it, can this guy control plants, too?"
Yu Tianheng cursed under his breath as even more violent lightning poured from his body like a raging flood.
"Third Soul Skill: Thunder Fury!"
Yu Tianheng's lightning grew even more powerful, carrying a hint of destruction. The arcs of electricity grew hotter and hotter, setting the oncoming vines ablaze and burning them to ash.
"You used the lightning inside your body to create flames, then set my vines alight? Pretty clever, but... my vines aren't that easy to deal with!"
Ling Yun sneered and pressed his palms together. A great mass of the Power of Wood Spirit gathered between them, then transformed into hundreds of vines. Like writhing venomous snakes, they shot toward Yu Tianheng.
"Finishing Move: Wood Vine Entanglement!"
"What?!"
Seeing the dizzying mass of vines rushing toward him, Yu Tianheng was horrified. His brow furrowed as he muttered,
"I didn't expect him to unleash a skill on this scale. Looks like I have no choice but to use my finishing move!"
"Dragon Transformation!"
He threw his head back and roared. A soul-shaking dragon's cry instantly rang through the entire Great Soul Arena.
At the same time, blue-green dragon scales covered Yu Tianheng's right arm, and his entire right hand turned into a sharp dragon claw!
Yu Tianheng swung his dragon claw, slicing apart the incoming vines one by one!
