"You must be Grandmaster? I have heard of your reputation." Hai Ming stood by the window, watching the Shrek Seven Monsters fighting below, the smile at the corner of his mouth never fading.
"Mm."
Grandmaster's focus was entirely on the Shrek Seven Monsters in battle. Tang San's Eight Spider Lances had already been exposed, and caught off guard, the Imperial Battle Team's defensive and agility attack Soul Masters were all poisoned. After Tang San bound them with Blue Silver Grass, he tossed them to the rear to prevent them from being healed by the Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master.
Hai Ming tilted his head slightly, looking at this white-haired man whose face was a bit withered.
He could tell that Grandmaster must have been a handsome and dashing man in his youth, with absolutely fine looks, otherwise he wouldn't have ruined the current pope.
It was just a pity that the word love was inherently difficult to describe, and how many people lost everything they had over it.
Even though his Martial Soul was the positively mutated Golden Sacred Dragon, a failed mutation was still a failure, and he was a good-for-nothing who could never break through the Soul Elder realm in his lifetime.
To be honest, Hai Ming found it hard to understand Grandmaster's mindset.
A woman who was deeply in love with him suddenly tracked him down one day, only to declare that she no longer loved him and that staying with him was solely for the sake of that so-called knowledge which might already be on record in Spirit Hall.
Under those circumstances, what did Grandmaster do?
He did not investigate, he did not gather evidence, he simply gave up and sought out new romance!
No wonder Bibi Dong looked down upon Grandmaster during the Soul Master Elite Tournament, and upon reuniting after many years apart, he had actually come for the secret of how her twin Martial Souls wouldn't burst her body—how could any woman endure such a thing?
And then, on his wedding night, his family came and took his wife away simply because she was his so-called paternal cousin by name. Refusing to forge ahead, wallowing in despair, his hair turning white overnight, he wandered among the common folk and ignored worldly affairs, leaving Liu Erlong to waste dozens of years of her youth!
Grandmaster?
Big piece of shit was more like it!
They always said Duan Zhengchun was peerless in romantic flair, but this Grandmaster was no better.
With his own strength, he ruined the futures of two women!
If not for Tang San's enlightenment, Liu Erlong would probably have spent the rest of her life in lovesick waiting!
In the Soul Dueling Arena, Tang San stood out uniquely, fighting the Imperial Battle Team with his Eight Spider Lances and Tang Sect secret techniques, while the rest of the Shrek members harassed the flanks and assisted him.
After a fierce battle, at the cost of Tang San breaking three of his Eight Spider Lances, the Imperial Battle Team was completely wiped out, save for Captain Yu Tianheng!
"Yan-Yan!"
Yu Tianheng hugged Dugu Yan, a flash of lightning flickering in his gaze!
"There's an opening! First Soul Skill: Waist Bow!"
Xiao Wu, who had detoured around the flank, lit up with realization. Tiptoeing, she instantly lunged toward Yu Tianheng, her flexible waist unfurling as she whipped a scorpion-like wrap around Yu Tianheng's neck, pressing a pair of jade feet against his waist!
"Xiao Wu! Be careful!"
Tang San's pupils contracted. Having fought Yu Tianheng up to this point, he knew full well the unique talent of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul in close combat. If Xiao Wu wasn't careful, she would likely suffer a huge loss!
"Just a rabbit, and you dare approach me!"
Yu Tianheng snorted coldly, tightening his grip on the arm holding Dugu Yan. His freed right arm was shrouded in terrifying electrical light, and before Xiao Wu could even muster her strength, she felt her footing slip, her entire body nearly tumbling to the ground!
"Ugh ah ah! Dragon Transformation!"
Unlike the arm-only Dragon Transformation during his previous battles with Dai Mubai and Tang San, Yu Tianheng forsook the powerful arm transformation, shifting instead into slightly pale blue dragon scales coating half his body!
It was precisely because of those slippery dragon scales that Xiao Wu's exertion failed, preventing her from successfully executing her first soul skill.
"First Soul Skill: Thunderclap Dragon Claw!"
Blue arcs of electricity wrapped around Yu Tianheng's arm, and the gigantic lightning dragon claw lunged toward the off-balance Xiao Wu. If this strike connected solidly, Xiao Wu would either be dead or bedridden for half a year!
Whoosh!
A thick strand of Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Xiao Wu's waist. At the same time, Xiao Wu released her whip hold, shooting away from the berserk Yu Tianheng like an arrow leaving a bow!
Boom!
The Thunderclap Dragon Claw impacted the dueling arena, stone chips flying everywhere. A few gravel fragments even landed in front of Ning Rongrong, who was far back in the rear!
"Fir... fir... first soul skill, Jade-Phosphor Red Venom: Excitement... Excitement Venom!"
A flash of red light landed on Yu Tianheng. Heavily poisoned, Dugu Yan forced herself to rally, using her own poison to contend with the Man-Faced Demon Spider's potent venom, squeezing out a sliver of soul power to activate her soul skill, casting it exclusively upon Yu Tianheng who fought alone.
"Sec... second soul skill, Jade-Phosphor Blue Venom: Paralysis Venom!"
Another flash of blue light saw Dugu Yan tumble out of Yu Tianheng's embrace in relief. Possessing the top-tier beast Martial Soul Jade-Scaled Serpent, she naturally wouldn't be poisoned to death by the venom carried on the Eight Spider Lances, but the clash of the two poisons within her body had consumed a massive amount of her soul power and physical stamina, leaving her utterly unable to help Yu Tianheng any further.
"Tianheng, be careful."
Following Dugu Yan's soft murmur, Yu Tianheng took a deep breath. With a furious roar, his entire body was engulfed in blue arcs of electricity. Several Thunderclap Dragon Claws formed instantly, and Yu Tianheng's pupils began to bloodshot!
"Fall back!"
Tang San shouted coldly, and Blue Silver Grass wrapped around everyone's waists. At the same time, Oscar, who was frantically manufacturing sausages, breathed a sigh of relief. With his final burst of soul power in the battle, he had finally produced a few Flying Mushroom Sausages!
"Catch!"
Oscar tossed the mushroom sausages out while biting down on the one he kept for himself. A pair of transparent, illusory wings sprouted from his back, and he took flight!
Watching the Shrek Seven Monsters soar into the sky, Yu Tianheng frantically and resentfully gathered thunder dragon claws to attack, but he always fell just a fraction short!
"Third Soul Skill: Thunderclap Fury! Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Might!"
Soaring in the air, Ma Hongjun constantly harassed Yu Tianheng. Yu Tianheng weighed his remaining soul power, then glanced back at Dugu Yan, who had collapsed in the distance, her clothes soiled by the dust of the battle's aftermath. The ferocity in his eyes gradually overwhelmed his reason!
The Imperial Battle Team was going to lose!
However, he couldn't just fall like this!
"Second Soul Skill! Third Soul Skill!"
"Activate!"
Thunderclap Fury could boost his soul power by fifty percent in a short time while drastically enhancing his lightning power, whereas Thunderous Might...
The countless bolts of lightning coiling around Yu Tianheng's body magnified simultaneously. The next moment, they transformed into countless arrows of lightning, flashing violently in all directions. His targets were Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who were being controlled by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and flying in the air using mushroom sausages!
They were the closest to Yu Tianheng!
"If I can't break your finger, then I'll cripple two of yours!"
"Tianheng!"
At the back of the Imperial Battle Team's arena area, Qin Ming, the team leader with a scholarly appearance, changed expression drastically. He knew all too well the power of Yu Tianheng's fully unleashed Thunderous Might, amplified by Dugu Yan's soul skill!
That was a powerful soul skill that even he, the second youngest soul emperor on the mainland, had to momentarily evade!
