The Thunder Soul Core Shows Its Might, the True Dragon Nine Crowns!

Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Jianjun and asked in a deep voice, "Grandpa Jian, what do you think we should do about this? Are we really going to let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect become an affiliated sect of the Spirit Hall?"

"That's just too unfair!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianjun gently shook his head. "Let's put this matter aside for now. Qian Xunji shouldn't be able to attack us so quickly. Right now, we can only wait and see if Chen Xin can break through to the Titled Douluo level on the Sun-Moon Continent before rushing back."

Ning Fengzhi frowned, but he knew there was no better solution at the moment.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School has always had a weakness: the lack of top-tier experts makes it difficult to compete with truly top-tier forces, even with its vast wealth and connections.

The relationship between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Spirit Hall is clearly unusual, and the Clear Sky Sect may not be willing to lend a hand. The only person they can rely on is Chen Jianjun.

Just as the two were discussing, a deafening sound suddenly came from the sky above the main hall.

"Chen Jianjun, I've come to challenge you to a duel. Do you dare to come out and meet me?"

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Jianjun immediately frowned.

The voice sounded strangely familiar, even carrying a familiarity that made him feel uneasy.

Without hesitation, he moved swiftly, bringing Ning Fengzhi with him, and appeared outside the main hall, looking up at the sky.

An elderly man with black and white hair stood in mid-air, his body radiating a faint surge of Thunder power, and the aura emanating from him was significantly stronger than before.

Chen Jianjun recognized the other party's identity with just one glance.

"So it's that old, dying dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

He sneered, "Judging from your appearance, you must have broken through before you died, right? What, you look much younger!"

The newcomer was none other than Yu Xiaolong.

Upon hearing Chen Jianjun's words, Yu Xiaolong did not get angry but laughed heartily, his laughter echoing through the air.

"Hahaha! That's right, I just broke through to the next level, so I came to spar with you as soon as possible. What, you old codger, aren't you happy to see me?"

Chen Jianjun's lips twitched; he almost laughed in anger at those words.

Let's have a friendly exchange?

He had only just returned from the Spirit Hall, and this old dragon immediately came knocking on his door. What a coincidence!

If it were just a simple sparring match, the opponent could have come another day; why choose this time?

Clearly, Yu Xiaolong's purpose in coming here was not merely to test his strength, but also to use this sparring match to put pressure on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Just as Chen Jianjun had suspected, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaolong had already read the letter that Yu Changge had sent back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Originally, Yu Yuanzhen planned to make the trip himself, but Yu Xiaolong took the initiative to accept the task.

He had been in the family for too long, and now that he had finally broken through, he naturally wanted to get out and stretch his muscles, and also to test how much improvement the Thunder Soul Core could bring him.

And Chen Jianjun is undoubtedly a perfect opponent.

Now, both being peak level Ninety-Seventh Rank Peak Douluo, without the Thunder Soul Core, Yu Xiaolong really wouldn't be confident of defeating this top swordsman on the continent.

Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is the number one Beast Martial Soul on the continent and has the talent of Dragon Transformation, this advantage can only be maintained up to the Seven-Ring Soul Sage.

For Martial Soul of equal quality, Soul Master with Weapon Martial Soul are generally slightly stronger than Soul Master with Beast Martial Soul after reaching the seventh ring.

Chen Jianjun snorted coldly, and a Seven Kill Sword immediately appeared in his right hand.

"Since Brother Xiaolong is in such high spirits, then I shall spar with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably sharp Seven Kill Sword Intent suddenly erupted, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to become more murderous.

Faced with Chen Jianjun's imposing aura, Yu Xiaolong did not back down at all; instead, he revealed an excited smile.

"That's more like it!"

The next moment, the two of them moved simultaneously.

The Soul Ring on Yu Xiaolong's body flashed one after another, and his whole body began to undergo drastic changes. His original human body was quickly covered with blue-purple dragon scales.

His hands transformed into sharp dragon claws, his legs became thick and powerful, dragon armor covered his torso, and a pair of enormous Dragon Wing stretched out from behind him.

In a short time, he completed his full-body Dragon Transformation.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Dragon Wing are not something anyone can possess; they can only be unlocked after reaching the Titled Douluo.

Immediately afterwards, Thunder flowed across the surface of the Yu Xiaolong's scales, and a domineering dragon's might swept out.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Xiaolong let out a low roar, and violent Thunder instantly condensed on his dragon claws. Then, he charged forward, his sharp claws heading straight for Chen Jianjun.

Chen Jianjun remained unmoved, and with a gentle wave of his Seven Kill Sword, a sharp sword light instantly condensed into a giant "Kill" character, crashing into the Thunder Dragon Claw.

Boom!

The two forces collided violently, unleashing a burst of raging lightning and sharp sword intent. The intense impact caused drastic changes in the airflow around them.

However, the word "kill" alone was clearly not enough to stop Yu Xiaolong, who Dragon Transformation.

Both being Ninety-Seventh Rank Peak Douluo, Yu Xiaolong not only possesses a complete Dragon Transformation state, but now, with the support of the Thunder Soul Core, the power he unleashes far surpasses his ordinary state.

The sword beam only held for a moment before being forcibly torn apart by the Thunder Dragon Claw.

Yu Xiaolong's figure did not pause at all, and he continued to approach Chen Jianjun, forcing the other party to swing his sword to meet the attack.

Chen Jianjun frowned slightly, and unleashed a series of Seven Kill Sword strikes, each sword aura heading straight for Yu Xiaolong's vital points.

Yu Xiaolong, however, withstood some of the attacks thanks to his powerful body after Dragon Transformation, while simultaneously wielding his dragon claws to clash head-on with his opponent. For a time, the two were evenly matched.

However, as the battle continued, Chen Jianjun gradually realized that something was wrong.

The old dragon's power seemed to be much stronger than he had expected.

If they continued to fight using ordinary Soul Skill, he might not be able to gain the upper hand.

With that in mind, Chen Jianjun no longer held back.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Kill Avatar!"

With a low shout, the Seven Kill Sword behind him suddenly enlarged, and a huge phantom of the Seven Kill Sword slowly condensed, with the sharp sword intent rising to a new level.

Immediately afterwards, a peculiar aura spread out from him.

Seven Kill Domain!

This is one of Chen Jianjun's true trump cards. Although the area of the domain is not large, it can greatly suppress the opponents within it and enhance his own killing power.

The only problem is that in this field, it's impossible to distinguish between friend and foe.

Normally, he would rarely use his full power when fighting multiple opponents, but now that he only had Yu Xiaolong as his opponent, he had no worries at all.

The moment the domain unfolded, Yu Xiaolong felt a sense of oppression emanating from the surroundings.

It was as if every wisp of air carried a sharp sword intent, even affecting the circulation of one's own Soul Power.

But he didn't panic. Instead, he slowly grinned, revealing a smile full of fighting spirit.

"That's what makes it interesting!"

"Since that's the case, I won't hold back anymore!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

As the Seventh Soul Ring rose, Yu Xiaolong's body transformed into a nearly ten-meter-long Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, its thick body covered with blue-purple scales, its wings spread wide, and Thunder Entanglement.

Although he had not awakened his own domain, he was not without ways to resist the suppression of the Seven Kill Domain.

Thunder Soul Core!

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaolong directly activated the Thunder Soul Core within his body, and the dense power of Thunder quickly flowed throughout his body, forcibly resisting the effects brought by the Seven Kill Domain.

Feeling the continuous power within his body, he sneered inwardly.

So what if we don't have a specific field?

With sufficient power, coupled with the assistance of the Thunder Soul Core, it is not impossible to confront the opponent head-on.

Moreover, he still has a trump card up his sleeve.

The True Dragon Nine Crowns! (Based on the manga version)

This is the prized possession of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

According to family records, the True Dragon Nine Crowns are actually nine pieces of Spirit Bone Head Spirit Bone an ancient dragon king, and each crown contains extremely powerful energy.

Legend has it that this Spirit Bone originated from an ancient dragon whose strength reached the God-Tier. Even though it was broken into nine pieces, its power was still considered heaven-defying.

The most crucial ability of the True Dragon Nine Crowns is to forcibly increase the age of the Soul Ring.

After Soul Master integrates the crown into their body, they can increase the age of their Soul Ring to 99,999 years, which is very close to the level of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Such an improvement naturally comes at a price.

The True Dragon Nine Crowns will continuously absorb the user's Soul Power and flesh. Once more than five crowns are fused together, the user is very likely to have their Soul Power drained, ultimately ending up with nothing but flesh and bones.

This is why, although the True Dragon Nine Crowns are powerful, they cannot be used lightly.

However, for Yu Xiaolong now, this problem is not as serious as it used to be.

He had just condensed the Thunder Soul Core, which greatly enhanced his Soul Power recovery ability. As long as he didn't fuse too many crowns at once, the consumption from using only one or two crowns was completely within an acceptable range.

For a battle where the odds are evenly matched, such a price is clearly worth paying.

With this in mind, Yu Xiaolong no longer hesitated, and the Thunder on his body surged once more.

"Eighth Soul Skill!"

Boom!

Violent lightning erupted from the dragon's body, transforming into fierce Thunder that struck towards Chen Jianjun.

Faced with such a powerful attack, Chen Jianjun dared not be careless in the slightest.

With the Seven Kill Avatar and the Seven Kill Domain operating simultaneously, he swung the Seven Kill Sword in his hand repeatedly, and streams of sword energy rapidly condensed, eventually transforming into eight "kill" characters filled with murderous intent.

The eight characters were unleashed simultaneously, their sword intents intertwined, directly meeting the overwhelming Thunder.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder and sword intent collided repeatedly, unleashing bursts of violent roars, and terrifying energy constantly intertwined in mid-air.

With the amplification from the Seven Kill Domain, Chen Jianjun's sword intent was noticeably sharper, with each "kill" character containing astonishing penetrating power, even capable of directly slicing through some Thunder.

But Yu Xiaolong was no pushover either.

With the help of the Thunder Soul Core, he was not only able to maintain a powerful attack, but also to continuously replenish the Soul Power he consumed, so that the power of his Eighth Soul Skill remained at a very high level.

For a moment, the two were evenly matched.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi below couldn't help but clench his fists.

He never expected that Yu Xiaolong, who had just broken through, could fight Chen Jianjun to this extent, and he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all.

I've never heard of this old dragon being so powerful before!

If this battle continues, Chen Jianjun will likely be at a disadvantage.

Mid-air, Chen Jianjun also noticed the problem.

His Soul Power had been greatly depleted, but when he looked at Yu Xiaolong opposite him, his expression hadn't changed much, which was clearly abnormal.

Finally, after yet another clash between sword energy and Thunder, Chen Jianjun couldn't help but ask, "Yu Xiaolong, why is your Soul Power consumption so low?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolong burst into laughter. "That's none of your business!"

He then mocked, "It seems there's a difference even among Ninety-Seventh Rank Peak Douluo! You call yourself one of the continent's top sword masters, but you're nothing special!"

In the past, he had fought Chen Jianjun many times, with each side winning and losing... Well, actually, he lost more often if they didn't use their trump cards.

Chen Jianjun's face immediately darkened.

"Yu Xiaolong, don't push your luck!"

"Don't think I don't know why you've come here today, old dragon! Your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has probably been in cahoots with the Spirit Hall for a long time!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolong burst out laughing, "That's a really awful thing to say! What do you mean by 'colluding with each other'? I don't like hearing those words!"

He looked down at Chen Jianjun, his tone filled with undisguised arrogance.

"Why don't you mention that the Clear Sky Sect also has a good relationship with the Spirit Hall? Why is it that only your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is looked down upon by the Spirit Hall?"

"Can't you look for the reasons within yourselves? Ultimately, it's because you're all too weak!"

"If it weren't for your joining, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would probably still be among the Lower Five Sects! Do you really think that with the auxiliary abilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, you can stand on equal footing with the Clear Sky Sect and my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

"If the direct descendant of this sect were your Seven Kill Clan, I would accept it. But clearly, the direct descendant of this sect is Ning Fengzhi, who possesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. No matter how high his talent is, he cannot break through to the Soul Douluo level!"

"Is this all you want me to acknowledge the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's status Upper Three Sects? Eat your eraser!"

These words were utterly merciless, directly hitting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's biggest weakness.

Ning Fengzhi stood below, his face extremely pale, but he was unable to refute her at all.

Because he knew that although Yu Xiaolong's words were harsh, they were the truth!

But it is precisely because this is reality that he is so distressed!

Yu Xiaolong's tone revealed an arrogance belonging to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Among the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan already possessed formidable top-tier combat power. Now that Yu Xiaolong has broken through to Ninety-Seventh Rank and condensed the Thunder Soul Core, he is naturally qualified to say such things here.

However, having already decided to put the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in check, Yu Xiaolong had no intention of stopping there.

The next moment, a glint of light flashed in his dragon eyes.

The True Dragon Nine Crowns, it's time to use them!
