The Same Pit, You Can't Fall In Twice

"Good lad."

Yu Xiaotian watched his son unleash two soul skills in succession and did not hesitate, immediately activating Martial Soul Possession.

There was no helping it; he had learned his lesson the hard way.

Once, when sparring with Yu Tianchen, he had underestimated the terrifying nature of his son's full arsenal, thinking that as a dignified Soul Saint, there was no need to activate his martial soul against a mere Soul Grand Master.

The result was that he was nearly beaten into submission, eventually forced to activate his martial soul just to survive, nearly losing all face in the process.

Ever since then, Yu Xiaotian knew his son was a pure freak of nature who could not be measured by the standards of ordinary people.

"Xiaochen, do you intend to go all out from the start, or proceed step by step?"

After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul was possessed, obvious dragon-like features appeared on Yu Xiaotian's body.

Lightning surged over his dragon-clawed arms, exuding immense pressure.

Even his voice carried a hint of wild arrogance.

"What's the point of a slow, dragging fight?"

"Of course, I'm going all out."

Yu Tianchen curled his lips and clapped his hands together.

"Great Sun Thunder Body—Bronze Thunder Body, activate!"

"Five Thunder Shock Drums—Limit Excitation Stance, activate!"

The Five Thunder Shock Drums manifested behind Yu Tianchen, connected by bolts of lightning and flashing with blinding light.

At the same time, the body hidden beneath his armor began to take on a bronze hue, etched with lightning patterns.

Yu Xiaotian did not stop him, watching with keen interest instead.

He had seen all of this before, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

He was curious to see what improvements his son had made on top of this foundation.

After consecutively activating the Great Sun Thunder Body and the limit excitation state of the Five Thunder Shock Drums, Yu Tianchen paused.

He closed his eyes and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Method of Eight Gates Resonance!"

"Space Gate, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain..."

Yu Tianchen murmured softly before suddenly snapping his eyes open.

"Open!!"

BOOM!!

A surging wave of air, accompanied by a low hum, swept in all directions.

The four major acupoints within Yu Tianchen's body entered a state of synchronization, his soul power began to boil in tandem with the resonance, and his aura surged violently.

Endless waves of energy rose from his body.

"This aura..."

Feeling the continuous waves of energy and watching his son's suddenly skyrocketing momentum, Yu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

Could this brat actually force him to use his sixth soul skill and his Martial Soul Avatar today?!

The spars between Yu Xiaotian and Yu Tianchen could be divided into stages.

The first stage was the shortest—the time Yu Xiaotian almost flipped his own car by not activating his martial soul.

After that, Yu Xiaotian suppressed his own soul power, gradually releasing it as Yu Tianchen grew.

In the last two spars, Yu Tianchen had managed to force him to use his fifth soul skill.

Looking at the current situation, his son would likely force out his sixth soul skill.

Although being forced to use a sixth soul skill by a Soul Grand Master sounded quite shameful, it was a different story when that Soul Grand Master was his own son.

His son was a top-tier freak on the continent!

Just as Yu Xiaotian was feeling both emotional and proud, Yu Tianchen's voice rang out from across the field:

"Dad, you'd better be careful!"

He exhaled a puff of white mist.

His hair surged upward, caught in the rising air currents around him.

The next instant, accompanied by a sonic boom.

Yu Tianchen's figure vanished in an instant.

At the same time, five thunder dragons descended from high above, roaring as they charged toward Yu Xiaotian.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Violent lightning flickered upon Yu Xiaotian's dragon claws.

He raised his hands and swung them in rapid succession, tearing the incoming thunder dragons to shreds in an instant.

But the very next moment.

Yu Tianchen had arrived behind him, delivering a side kick in mid-air.

Yu Tianchen's speed was fast.

Yu Xiaotian's perception was equally sharp.

Almost at the exact moment Yu Tianchen kicked out, he ducked his head, narrowly dodging the momentum-filled strike.

"Heh, son..."

After evading the attack, Yu Xiaotian was just about to fire off a few quips to disrupt Yu Tianchen's state of mind.

He never expected that in the next second, a lightning-wreathed foot would land squarely on his lowered head.

"Heh, Dad, I've told you more than once."

Watching Yu Xiaotian take the hit, Yu Tianchen chuckled:

"People shouldn't fall into the same trap twice, you know!"

Lan Minghua's tactics were truly useful.

They were practically impossible to guard against in a fight.

During their last spar, his old man hadn't been able to block this trick.

And now, he still hadn't managed to defend against it!

Hahaha.

"Hmph, you brat..."

The second yellow soul ring beneath Yu Xiaotian lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Thunderbolt!"

The lightning coiling around Yu Xiaotian's body erupted outward.

Yu Tianchen relied on the defensive power of his lightning armor to withstand the move, using the force of the blast to propel himself into the sky. Under his guidance, the surrounding violent lightning converged into his hands, forming a spear of thunder.

"Go."

With immense force, Yu Tianchen hurled ten spears in succession, shooting toward Yu Xiaotian like arrows released from a bowstring.

At the same time, the lightning on his body surged, and under the cover of the ten feinting spears, he charged toward Yu Xiaotian once more.

"Well played!"

Yu Xiaotian roared, his fourth and fifth soul rings lighting up in unison.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Armor!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Roar!"

Armor made of lightning, resembling dragon scales, attached itself to Yu Xiaotian's sturdy frame. He opened his mouth wide, and a beam of thunder radiating a terrifying aura shot forth.

After shattering all the spears Yu Tianchen had fired, he stepped forward, engaging in close-quarters combat with the approaching Yu Tianchen.

Yu Xiaotian's cultivation had reached the Soul Saint realm, and his combat techniques were long since set in stone.

His attack style aligned with the fierce and domineering nature of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, characterized by wide, sweeping movements.

Correspondingly, aside from his soul skills, his other combat maneuvers were relatively singular.

In contrast, Yu Tianchen's fighting style appeared far more varied.

Over the past two years, Yu Tianchen's development of the Five Thunder Shock Drums had not been limited to merely activating their limit-break state.

Regarding the manipulation of lightning, he had combined it with the various techniques he had seen in anime from his past life, researching many moves that were compatible with the current world.

Whether it was mimicking beasts with elements, turning elements into weapons, or compressing lightning energy to form beams or effects similar to Enel's ultimate move, Raigo—he had developed them all.

The only pity was that he hadn't yet figured out how to manipulate the magnetic fields through lightning.

If he could master electromagnetic force, the possibilities would be endless.

The spar between Yu Tianchen and Yu Xiaotian did not last long.

Because Yu Tianchen had activated Eight Gates Resonance, boosting his combat power fourfold, Yu Xiaotian's fifth soul skill was already struggling to withstand the onslaught.

In the end, he released his sixth soul skill, finally defeating Yu Tianchen with overwhelming force.

"Not bad, Xiaochen."

After retracting his martial soul, Yu Xiaotian walked over to Yu Tianchen's side. Looking at his son's exhausted appearance, his face was filled with both surprise and admiration.

"What kind of new move did you research? It actually boosted your strength by this much all of a sudden?"
