"Dragon Transformation talent?"
Watching Yu Tianheng's imposing dragon claw, Ling Yun couldn't help but frown.
When a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul master reaches the thirtieth rank of cultivation, they gain the Dragon Transformation talent.
After activating Dragon Transformation, one's right hand transforms into a sharp dragon claw, which can not only tear enemies to shreds with ease but also further amplify the power of the lightning within the body!
Furthermore, after the thirtieth rank, every soul ring obtained allows dragon scales to grow on parts of the body, and upon becoming a Title Douluo, one can even transform into a true dragon, soaring through the heavens and earth with unparalleled strength.
"As expected of the world's number one beast martial soul, this Dragon Transformation talent is truly formidable. However... even if Yu Tianheng can break free from the vines now, it is already too late!"
Ling Yun smiled, then looked toward Huo Wu.
At this moment, Huo Wu had already reached Ye Lingling, and the third soul ring beneath her feet flashed brilliantly.
"Third soul skill: Repulsive Fire Ring!"
In an instant, a wave of heat swept toward Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling was merely a healing-type soul master; how could she contend with Huo Wu? In a single moment, she was blown away by the scorching heat wave, falling off the arena and being completely eliminated.
"Lingling!"
Seeing Ye Lingling eliminated, Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with fury. She glared at Huo Shuang and shouted, "You actually eliminated Lingling! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Third soul skill: Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison!"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan's third soul ring began to flicker. Then, her delicate lips parted, and she exhaled a deep purple mist of poison that swept out in all directions.
"What?"
Seeing this, Huo Shuang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly retreated. During the earlier battle, he had already witnessed just how terrifying Dugu Yan's lethal poison was.
It could be said that Dugu Yan was the strongest poison soul master he had ever seen in his life. Seeing her unleash her third soul skill, Huo Shuang naturally dared not underestimate her.
Seeing the Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison about to envelop the entire arena, Ling Yun hurriedly warned.
"Sister Huo Wu, Brother Shuang, retreat quickly! Be careful, do not inhale this poisonous mist under any circumstances!"
"We know that without you telling us!"
Huo Shuang shouted, then hurriedly moved toward the edge of the arena to keep his distance from Dugu Yan.
On the other side, Huo Wu also retreated repeatedly. This dark purple mist carried a nauseating, fishy stench; one look was enough to know its toxicity was extreme.
Thinking of this, Huo Wu couldn't help but ask, "Little Brother Ling Yun, what should we do now?"
"It's simple, Sister Huo Wu. Use Ring Fusion to blow this poisonous mist away, and then I will quickly approach that female soul master and eliminate her completely."
"Alright, we'll do as you say. Ring Fusion!"
Huo Wu gave a delicate shout, and the three soul rings beneath her feet soared into the sky, merging into one above her head and shining brightly.
"Third soul skill: Repulsive Fire Ring!"
Boom—
The moment the soul ring flashed, a scorching gale centered on Huo Wu spread outward, completely dispersing the Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison on the arena.
Immediately following this, Ling Yun quickly transformed into a Flame Crane and soared into the sky. Then, his snow-white wings ignited with raging flames as he dove straight toward Dugu Yan.
"Ultimate move: Fire Crane Sky Fall!"
"What?"
Watching Ling Yun dive down at high speed, Dugu Yan's pupils constricted, her face turning pale, and for a moment, she even forgot to dodge.
Of course, given her speed, she wouldn't have been able to dodge anyway.
At this moment, Yu Tianheng hurriedly rushed over and shouted loudly.
"Yanzi, be careful!"
"Watch this, Dragon's Fury!"
Yu Tianheng unleashed the skill granted by his Dragon Transformation talent. The lightning power throughout his body instantly doubled. He swung his dragon claw, leaped into the air, and lunged straight at Ling Yun.
"Damn it, this Yu Tianheng is truly annoying..."
"No, I must end this quickly. I'm afraid Sister Huo Wu's soul power cannot sustain Ring Fusion for long. If the poisonous mist gathers again, it will be troublesome."
"It seems I have no choice but to use my External Soul Bone. Heh, come to think of it, this is my first time using an External Soul Bone in actual combat. Let's test the skill of this External Soul Bone."
Ling Yun smiled slightly, and a thick scorpion tail burst out from his body. The snow-white scorpion tail merged perfectly with the white feathers of the Flame Crane.
Then, red light flickered within the tail hook, and with a boom, a crimson Magma Earth-Splitting Strike shot straight toward Yu Tianheng like a cannonball.
"External Soul Bone skill: Magma Earth-Splitting Strike!"
The Earth King's Magma Earth-Splitting Strike has two effects: the first is to release a fiery red distorted light that forces the enemy into a state of forced dizziness, followed by releasing a magma impact to strike the enemy down!
Seeing the roaring magma impact approaching, Yu Tianheng felt a wave of dizziness. By the time he regained his senses, the scorching pillar of fire had already struck him heavily.
"Ughhh!!!"
Yu Tianheng let out a heart-wrenching wail, then flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tumbling off the arena and being completely eliminated.
Because Ling Yun had controlled the power of the soul bone skill, Yu Tianheng was not seriously injured.
After all, this was merely a sparring match; Ling Yun did not want to take any lives, and besides, if he were to actually kill Yu Tianheng, the one in trouble would be himself.
After eliminating Yu Tianheng, Ling Yun rushed toward Dugu Yan without slowing down, his scorching flames igniting the arena and turning the surroundings into a sea of fire, yet Dugu Yan remained completely unscathed.
Ling Yun stood behind Dugu Yan and laughed, "Your companions have all been eliminated. Tell me, will you concede yourself, or shall I throw you out?"
"..."
Dugu Yan was speechless. She knew that Ling Yun had held back just now; otherwise, it would not be the arena burning, but her own flesh and blood.
Thinking of this, Dugu Yan said helplessly, "I concede. You have won this match!"
With that, Dugu Yan leaped off the arena, and at the same time, the host announced the result of the match in a timely manner.
"I now announce that the winners of this match are the contestants Five Spirit King, Fire Shadow, and Single-Horn Tyrant Dragon!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, a thunderous cheer erupted from the audience. The spectators shouted the names of Ling Yun and his companions, and the group walked off the arena with excitement on their faces.
Huo Wushuang said excitedly, "We are way too strong now, aren't we? We actually managed to defeat the top students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"What is there to be proud of in defeating people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Huo Wu shook her head. There was not a hint of excitement or joy on her face; she spoke calmly.
"Brother, you know as well as I do that Heaven Dou Royal Academy is just a bunch of spoiled brats. In past Spirit Master Tournaments, our Blazing Academy has often defeated them. What is there to be happy about?
However, to be honest, the strength of these three is indeed very high. Even among the top students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they should be considered quite elite."
"Ahem, although you won this match, don't get cocky too early!"
While the three were talking, Yu Tianheng suddenly walked over in a disheveled state, followed by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. All three of them were covered in dust and dirt.
Yu Tianheng pointed at Ling Yun and said coldly, "When I become stronger, I will come to challenge you again!"
"No problem. However, an enemy defeated by my hand is never regarded as a rival by me. I will give you time to surpass me, until you can no longer even see my back!"
