Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon

Jun Xuehan walked straight into the Soul Arena, his gaze falling on the handsome youth ahead of him. The youth looked twelve or thirteen and wore luxurious blue clothing, while Jun Xuehan's eyes remained cold and calm.

When the youth saw that his opponent was actually a child, he let out a soft laugh, seemingly not taking Jun Xuehan seriously at all.

But the youth's expression quickly darkened, and the hand behind his back clenched involuntarily. Following his gaze, Jun Xuehan had narrowed his eyes slightly, the corners of his lips lifted in an openly disdainful expression.

Damn it, this brat is actually looking down on me. He only glanced me over once and then couldn't even be bothered to look at me properly. Judging by his age, he must have awakened his Martial Soul only recently. Where does he get the nerve? Watching Jun Xuehan's expression, the youth could not help feeling a flicker of anger.

Seeing that both contestants had entered the arena, the referee immediately announced, "The match officially begins now!"

The moment the referee's voice fell, the youth was the first to release his Martial Soul. A lofty Dragon Roar rang through the Soul Arena, and after Martial Soul Possession, two yellow spirit rings flashed beneath his feet.

"Yu Tianheng. Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Level twenty-five, Two Rings Assault System Battle Soul Master!" Yu Tianheng said flatly, though a trace of anger lingered in his voice.

Jun Xuehan released his Martial Soul, the Silver Dragon Spear. A yellow spirit ring flashed beneath his feet, and the Silver Dragon Spear spun in his hand as he charged directly at Yu Tianheng, with no intention of announcing his Martial Soul information.

Though he had only become a Soul Master a few days ago, he knew the custom of announcing one's Martial Soul before a match. When Soul Masters fought, after one side announced their Martial Soul, the other would generally do the same to show mutual respect—unless they disdained their opponent or were unafraid of making them a mortal enemy.

Jun Xuehan was neither. The only reason he did not announce his Martial Soul was that he did not care for the custom and could not be bothered to speak.

As for what Yu Tianheng, standing across from him, might think, what did that have to do with Jun Xuehan? Seeing Jun Xuehan charge straight at him, Yu Tianheng's expression grew completely grim. He had no intention of speaking further either. His first spirit ring lit up, lightning gleamed over his arm, and he met Jun Xuehan's charge head-on.

"First Soul Skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!"

A sharp glint flashed through Jun Xuehan's silver eyes. As he swept his silver spear, scorching Fire Element clung to the Silver Dragon Spear. His offensive momentum instantly shifted into defense as he moved to block Yu Tianheng's attack.

Even as he blocked, Jun Xuehan observed Yu Tianheng's fighting style and simulated it in his mind, analyzing Yu Tianheng's methods of attack and searching for weaknesses in his use of Soul Skills.

After all, Jun Xuehan's Soul Power was twelve levels lower than Yu Tianheng's, and he was also inferior in combat experience and technique. If he wanted to win, he could only seek victory through steady defense and wait for an opportunity.

When Yu Tianheng saw Jun Xuehan switch from offense to defense from the very beginning, his attacks grew increasingly swift. He had no intention of holding back, and his powerful strikes came straight at Jun Xuehan.

Noisy voices continued to rise from the stands. "What's a child this young doing in a Spirit Arena Match? A one-sided battle like this isn't interesting at all."

"Exactly. Hey, brat, are you even weaned yet? This isn't a place you should be. Go home and drink milk."

"I don't know whether he's weaned or not, but there's no suspense in this match."

"How can you say that? This little brother is so cute, like an oversized porcelain doll. I really want to pinch his cheeks."

"The Soul Arena is a place where strength matters. What good is being handsome? Before absolute strength, everything else is nothing."

It was as if Jun Xuehan had not heard the voices from the stands at all. The silver spear in his hand continued to whirl as he blocked Yu Tianheng's attacks. Yu Tianheng, meanwhile, attacked without pause. Every strike brought with it a howling gale, and his attacks, bolstered by Soul Power, kept him firmly in the upper hand.

As time passed, Jun Xuehan keenly noticed that Yu Tianheng's attack power and speed were gradually declining.

It was the result of having expended more than half his Soul Power and stamina.

Although Jun Xuehan had not completely blocked Yu Tianheng's offensive during their exchange, he had been defending the entire time. As a result, he had conserved far more Soul Power and stamina than Yu Tianheng.

When Jun Xuehan noticed Yu Tianheng's decline, he deliberately exposed a flaw while swinging his silver spear. Yet inwardly, he had already prepared himself to block Yu Tianheng's attack.

A glint flashed through Yu Tianheng's eyes. The moment he caught Jun Xuehan's opening, he acted without hesitation. His second spirit ring suddenly lit up, and lightning rapidly gathered in his hand.

"Second Soul Skill: Myriad Thunder!"

Lightning gathered in Yu Tianheng's hand as he struck directly at Jun Xuehan's opening. Jun Xuehan spun his silver spear and raised the Silver Dragon Spear horizontally to block Yu Tianheng's Soul Skill.

When the violent lightning collided with the Silver Dragon Spear, Jun Xuehan's body was forced back several meters. The immense power within the lightning made the hand gripping the Silver Dragon King go slightly numb.

As Jun Xuehan steadied himself, his first spirit ring suddenly lit up. The scorching Fire Element that had originally filled the Silver Dragon Spear transformed into Wind Element. Yet as the Wind Element flowed, blazing flames appeared at the tip of the Silver Dragon Spear.

"First Soul Skill: Blazing Fire Striding Cloud!"

Jun Xuehan's First Soul Skill carried a fire attribute. By transforming the Silver Dragon Spear's element into Wind Element, he used the wind to fuel the fire and the fire to empower the wind, strengthening the First Soul Skill with the momentum.

When Yu Tianheng saw Jun Xuehan block his Second Soul Skill, a bad feeling rose in his heart. That opening just now must have been deliberately exposed. Otherwise, he could never have reacted so quickly.

He had been defending from the very beginning just to wear down my Soul Power and wait for his chance to counterattack. I really did underestimate you a little. But my Soul Power is higher than yours. Even if I've expended a great deal of Soul Power and stamina, what I have left is still enough to defeat you.

Though those thoughts ran through his mind, Yu Tianheng's reaction was not slow in the slightest. Facing the charging Jun Xuehan, he advanced instead of retreating and met him head-on.
