In the arena, the battle between Yu Yuanzhen and Gu Rong had already reached a fever pitch. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul stood at the pinnacle of the assault type, yet his opponent was Gu Rong, famed for his defense and proficient in spatial abilities.
Gu Rong first used his eighth soul skill, Temporal Afterimage, creating four spatial afterimages to disrupt Yu Yuanzhen's judgment.
Faced with Gu Rong's bizarre methods, Yu Yuanzhen chose brute force. He first used his eighth soul skill, Myriad Thunder Annihilation, shattering all the afterimages with an area-of-effect attack and forcing Gu Rong to reveal his true body.
The moment he caught Gu Rong's true body, Yu Yuanzhen unleashed his fourth soul skill, Thunder Shadow Instant Kill. His palm transformed into a dragon claw, which struck at Gu Rong amid crackling lightning.
Gu Rong did not choose to meet Yu Yuanzhen's attack head-on. Instead, he used his sixth soul skill, Spatial Bone Gate, to teleport away, causing Yu Yuanzhen's soul skill to miss completely.
Thus, Yu Yuanzhen and Gu Rong exchanged blows back and forth in the arena.
The spectators could not understand what was happening, yet they cheered and applauded all the same. But in Qian Xunyi's eyes, there was only one phrase for it: two rookies pecking at each other.
Although Gu Rong was one level below Yu Yuanzhen, his Martial Soul was of higher quality. A defense-type Martial Soul could withstand greater attrition, not to mention his bizarre close-range spatial abilities.
However, it was clear that Gu Rong was not set on defeating Yu Yuanzhen. His main goal was to wear him down.
He created afterimages and teleported through space, evading Yu Yuanzhen's fierce assaults. Even if Yu Yuanzhen caught him, he could endure it with his own defensive strength.
