Lightning, It Has to Follow the Laws of Science Too!

Yu Zhentian stood suspended in mid-air, his purple robes fluttering as he stood with his hands behind his back. His voice boomed like a tolling bell:

"Liu Erlong, in the name of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Council of Elders, I give you one last chance..."

"Get lost!"

Liu Erlong let out a sharp roar, cutting Yu Zhentian off mid-sentence.

Yu Zhentian's expression darkened. Further talk was useless; he struck immediately!

Two bolts of purple lightning descended from the heavens!

Liu Erlong shattered one, but the other struck the massive iron cage Chu Men had prepared.

On the specially crafted cage, purple lightning flickered and crackled, though it only deformed slightly under the intense heat.

[Holy crap, is that a Faraday Cage? You're too good, streamer!]

[Streamer is a beast!] ×999

[Technology triumphs over magic, how wonderful! Though, why does this cage of yours look a bit... improper...]

Chu Men cursed inwardly:

This old coffin-filler, he won't even spare a Soul Ancestor like me, so don't blame me for not playing fair!

Courtesy demands reciprocity!

He put away the Gatling. Against a master at the Soul Douluo level, this toy was fine for beating a dog in the water, but using it for a direct assault would be ineffective and easily draw aggro.

Chu Men replenished his soul power with a Soul Power Battery and summoned his Martial Soul, the Inversion Pen, its four soul rings glowing brilliantly.

He did not use his inversion skills on the two in the air; the gap in soul power levels was too great, and not only would the effects be poor, but it could easily cause a backlash.

Start with the environment first!

The Inversion Pen, wreathed in purple light, left his hand and flew straight into the sky.

First move: Invert Air Resistance.

The properties of the air around Liu Erlong and Yu Zhentian shifted; a portion of the air resistance converted into air thrust. A single moment of carelessness would lead to their movements being disrupted, causing them to suffer a silent loss in the heat of battle.

Liu Erlong had the assistance of the dragon wings on her battle armor, so the impact was minimal.

As for that old man Yu Zhentian, if he accidentally tumbled out of the sky, it would save him some effort.

Second move: Invert Light Reflection.

This was the move he had used against Liu Erlong before.

She had already witnessed it, so now it was the old man's turn to get a taste of something fresh.

Third move: Invert Sound Propagation.

Experts relied heavily on their perception of the surrounding environment—sounds like air being torn or currents flowing—and now, all of it was inverted!

Although Liu Erlong had been the one drilling Chu Men for the past three months, had Chu Men, with his Inversion Pen Martial Soul, not also been training Liu Erlong?

At this moment, Liu Erlong only needed to feel the subtle changes in the surrounding environment to realize that Chu Men's support had arrived!

After releasing the two bolts of lightning, Yu Zhentian did not stop.

Purple-black lightning surged wildly around his body, and the clouds that had originally obscured the sun were thoroughly dyed a pitch-black.

Violent lightning wove through the clouds, as if he had turned the sky into his own home turf!

"Since you don't know your place, I shall teach you a lesson!"

There was no emotion in Yu Zhentian's voice. He slowly raised his right hand, and his seventh soul ring suddenly lit up.

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Avatar of the Martial Soul!"

Before the Avatar of the Martial Soul—the world's number one beast Martial Soul—had even finished manifesting, Yu Zhentian looked up and let out a roar that shook the heavens.

The lightning in the clouds seemed to hear a command and began to converge.

"Dragon Transformation!"

Yu Zhentian's body began to expand rapidly, and purple-black dragon scales erupted from beneath his skin, covering his entire body in the blink of an eye.

Each scale was like a polished amethyst, containing powerful fluctuations of soul power and supporting countless bolts of violent lightning that danced in the gaps between them.

Thick dragon horns grew from the top of his head, their tips flashing with lethal electric light.

The dragon claws that his hands had become were incomparably sharp, far more powerful than Yu Songtao's Dragon Transformation!

In just two breaths, Yu Zhentian had completely transformed into a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon dozens of meters long!

His massive dragon eyes stared down at Liu Erlong, like a god looking down upon an ant, and his terrifying dragon might was released without reservation.

Not only was Liu Erlong's expression extremely grave, but even Xiao Wu in the distance clutched the flag in her hands tightly, her cheering even coming to a halt.

Chu Men narrowed his eyes, his fighting spirit surging!

The creatures of the entire forest began to flee in all directions, and the migrating animals even affected the academy's teaching area, causing a commotion.

[Although this Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is just so-so, the sense of oppression is definitely maxed out!]

[This is what a battle between top-tier powerhouses looks like! Can Sister Erlong hold her own?]

[Go streamer, don't you dare flip the car!]

Facing Yu Zhentian, who had transformed into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Liu Erlong showed not a hint of fear!

She took a deep breath, and her seventh soul ring lit up as well.

Unlike the deep purple soul power of Yu Zhentian, her entire body was bathed in a dazzling crimson gold, like a scorching sun dispersing dark clouds!

"Mutated Fire Dragon, Avatar of the Martial Soul!"

The Heart of the Crimson Dragon within the Fire Dragon Battle Armor operated at full capacity. The dragon wings on the armor seemed to merge with the phantom of the fire dragon, and the massive crimson greatsword pointed steadily at the blue-purple Tyrant Dragon opposite her!

She looked just like a dragon-slaying warrior!

The moment Yu Zhentian's dragon claw descended, Liu Erlong moved.

With a flap of her dragon wings, her figure shot out like an arrow from a bow. The fire dragon greatsword, wreathed in towering flames, slashed fiercely toward the dragon claw.

"Clang—"

A deafening sound of metal clashing rang out.

Crimson flames and purple-black lightning collided in mid-air, and a massive energy shockwave exploded outward.

After the turbulence subsided, Chu Men cautiously poked his head out from beneath a reinforced riot shield.

He had expected Liu Erlong to be swatted away by the massive dragon claw, given the disparity in their sizes.

But the result defied everyone's expectations.

Liu Erlong remained motionless in mid-air, her horizontally held fire dragon greatsword firmly blocking the enormous claw.

Yu Zhentian's massive dragon form had actually been knocked back several feet!

On the scales of the dragon claw, a few imperceptible fine cracks had even appeared.

The entire scene fell silent.

Even the lightning within the dark clouds seemed to pause for a fleeting moment.

[That was insanely cool! Sister Erlong, what kind of god-tier combat power is this!]

[As expected of the Fire Dragon Battle Armor we designed; this boost is, in two words—too powerful!]

[I feel so honored; rounding it up, I'm basically a man who defeated a Soul Douluo! Let's see who dares to look down on us art students now!]

Yu Zhentian's massive dragon pupils were filled with disbelief.

He could not believe that a mere Soul Saint could withstand a full-force strike from his Avatar of the Martial Soul.

And even knock him back!

Could this girl really have touched the threshold of a Soul Douluo?

Having suffered a loss at the hands of a junior, Yu Zhentian's old face burned with shame and rage, and a frantic retaliation followed!

In mid-air, lightning and crimson flames intertwined. Countless fire blades and lightning blades, radiating terrifying soul power, were scattered, wantonly destroying the surrounding forest.

Everyone's attention was focused on the earth-shattering duel in the sky.

No one noticed that Chu Mei had quietly disappeared from her spot.

Using the dust and trenches caused by the shockwave as cover, her figure darted through the woods like a leopard.

The glow of the Inversion Pen and the Soul Power Battery shimmered in tandem as blocks of high-explosive charges and proximity mines were planted on the ground beneath the battlefield.

"Breath Inversion!"

With a casual tap of the Inversion Pen, the bombs completely blended into the aura of the ordinary soil.

Since Yu Zhentian was flying in mid-air, Chu Men didn't have many options, so he could only provide a distraction.

But the moment he landed, heh heh, there would be plenty of "main courses" waiting to entertain him!

The item-trap style is all about waiting for the enemy at ease and catching them off guard!

Afterward, he used the Inversion Pen to apply subtle environmental inversion effects to several key locations around the pre-set battlefield.

"...Specialized neurotoxin. I don't know if it'll work, but I might as well use the old guy as a test subject!"

Chu Men coated the steel needle, but finding it too tedious, he simply poured the entire bottle over it!

When it comes to hospitality, it's best to provide a generous serving!

[What is the streamer doing? We want to watch the amazing aerial fight!]

[Was that anesthetic in the streamer's hand just now? I remember that one being a prescription drug. Is he setting a trap?]

[I have a feeling that arrogant old man in the sky is about to get played! Let's celebrate for three seconds! Haha!]
