"Let's compete in tempering our bodies with Heaven Lightning!"
"Whoever can endure longer within the Lightning Mimicry Environment wins. How about it?"
Yu Tianheng spoke with a face full of confidence; when it came to lightning-based body tempering, he possessed absolute certainty.
Over these years, he had been a frequent visitor to the Lightning Mimicry Environment.
No one understood the power of lightning better than he did.
At this moment, Yu Tianheng's gaze fell upon Zhou Tong. As long as Zhou Tong agreed, he could rightfully and soundly crush the other's arrogance.
In this way, he would not only suppress this troublemaker but also remain dignified and maintain his impeccable image—it was killing two birds with one stone.
At this moment, everyone else looked toward Zhou Tong, their faces filled with mockery and disdain.
They wanted to see if Zhou Tong dared to accept the challenge.
If Zhou Tong refused, it would mean he was afraid, and they could then use Yu Tianheng's reputation as a pretext to seize the opportunity and ruthlessly suppress this commoner boy.
The more arrogant Zhou Tong was now, the harsher their retaliation would be.
They would certainly make Zhou Tong's life a misery, leaving him with no face to remain at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
If Zhou Tong accepted the challenge, then Yu Tianheng would give him a sound thrashing, letting him know that there is always someone better, and a sky beyond the sky.
Amidst the burning and complex gazes of the crowd, Zhou Tong slowly spat out a few words.
"I accept the challenge!"
"But I have conditions!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present laughed.
The kid had fallen for it, just as expected.
Next, they would just wait to watch the show.
Every face wore an intriguing expression.
It was as if Zhou Tong's defeat was already set in stone.
What surprised them even more was that Zhou Tong actually dared to propose conditions.
Did he really think he could win?
How incredibly naive.
"What conditions?"
Yu Tianheng was, of course, happy to oblige.
Since Zhou Tong wanted to set conditions, then let him propose them.
He was going to win regardless.
"If you lose, you pay one million Gold Soul Coins."
"If I lose, I will leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy immediately."
Zhou Tong declared aloud.
Since he dared to challenge him, he had better be prepared to pay a sufficient price.
"Then please, lead the way!"
A smug look appeared at the corner of Yu Tianheng's mouth as he spoke indifferently.
"After you!"
Zhou Tong replied.
"Then let's go in together!"
Yu Tianheng said.
"Let's go!"
The two of them walked into the Lightning Mimicry Environment together.
As soon as he entered the mimicry cultivation environment, Zhou Tong was stunned by the scene inside.
It was, in fact, an undeveloped valley.
Everywhere were lightning-attribute plants: Lightning-Struck Wood, Thunderous Bamboo, Purple Thunder Vine, and so on.
If he cultivated here, his cultivation speed could at least double.
This kind of environment provided a massive boost to one's practice.
Moreover, he could absorb the precious power of lightning to upgrade the lightning-attribute potency of his Martial Soul.
This was simply a dream cultivation site.
Feeling the lightning elements contained in the air, he sat cross-legged on the spot, waiting for the power of lightning to manifest.
Not long after, many people appeared outside the Lightning Mimicry Environment, all of them there to watch the show.
The voice of the spirit master managing the Lightning Mimicry Environment drifted in.
"The Lightning Mimicry Environment is about to begin descending Heaven Lightning."
"Countdown: 20."
"19."
"18."
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng moved. His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit instantly possessed him, and his spirit power erupted, causing his muscles to swell. Blue scales sprouted across his body, his arms transformed into thick, draconic limbs, and his fingers sharpened into lethal claws. He had become a humanoid blue tyrannosaur.
Two yellow and one purple spirit rings emerged from beneath his feet, slowly rising to hover around his body.
At this moment, Yu Tianheng was already a level 35 Spirit Elder.
He looked back at Zhou Tong, his eyes filled with disdain.
He had torn off his previous mask of hypocrisy, revealing his sinister fangs.
A level 35 Spirit Elder against a Great Spirit Master like Zhou Tong—the advantage was his!
He wanted to see exactly how long this lowly commoner spirit master could withstand the power of the Heaven Lightning under the full augmentation of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit.
"Senior Brother Tianheng is mighty!"
"Give this Zhou Tong a lesson he'll never forget!"
"Daring to act wild at Heaven Dou Royal Academy? He should take a look at himself in the mirror!"
The crowd outside the mimicry chamber laughed triumphantly as they watched Yu Tianheng flex his muscles.
With Yu Tianheng's strength, dealing with this Zhou Tong was a guaranteed victory.
They couldn't wait to see Zhou Tong make a fool of himself.
Seeing this, Zhou Tong showed no change in expression. Instead, he calmly summoned his spirit, the Thunderous Hell Vine.
A blue-gold vine, as thick as a forearm, grew straight out and took root in the ground, extending a meter above Zhou Tong's head to form a tree over two meters tall.
At the same time, one yellow and one purple spirit ring rose from beneath his feet, hovering slowly before him.
Zhou Tong sat cross-legged, ignoring the chatter of the crowd, and entered a state of cultivation.
The entire scene fell into silence.
Those who had been arrogantly mocking Zhou Tong all fell mute.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Zhou Tong's second spirit ring.
A purple second spirit ring!
A thousand-year second spirit ring!
That was a purple ring only a Spirit Elder could absorb!
How could this commoner boy possess one so soon?
Everyone gasped in shock.
Incredible!
Beside him, Yu Tianheng was dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes.
Zhou Tong's second spirit ring was actually a thousand-year ring.
He had underestimated Zhou Tong.
However, he soon calmed himself.
Zhou Tong was only a Great Spirit Master, while he was a level 35 Spirit Elder—he was a tier above Zhou Tong, and his strength was absolute.
It was just one thousand-year spirit ring; he had one too.
The advantage was his!
Yu Tianheng quickly adjusted his mindset.
Not long after, the dense power of Heaven Lightning began to gather from the lightning-attribute plants in the valley toward the sky above.
Dark clouds filled the heavens, and bolts of lightning as thick as a little finger descended from the sky, striking directly toward Zhou Tong and Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng calmly used his dragon-transformed body to receive the lightning power. With every strike of Heaven Lightning, he felt his body being tempered, and his spirit power increased significantly.
"This kid definitely won't last long."
Yu Tianheng said coldly, then turned his gaze toward Zhou Tong, his expression instantly freezing.
Because the lightning falling from the sky was being directly absorbed by Zhou Tong's spirit.
"What kind of spirit is this?"
"It can actually absorb the power of Heaven Lightning?"
"My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit can only extract a tiny bit of lightning power, yet his spirit is actually devouring the lightning directly?"
Yu Tianheng felt as though the world as he understood it had collapsed.
To think there could be a martial soul capable of absorbing the power of lightning with such efficiency.
He was simply a monster.
His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul was the number one beast martial soul under heaven, with the mastery of lightning as its primary means.
Even he could not directly devour the power of lightning; he could only refine a mere ten percent of it.
Yet, that martial soul of Zhou Tong could do so with ease.
