In that instant, a cold glint suddenly gathered in the eyes of the restrained Shui Bing'er, and there was not a trace of panic on her face.
Enduring the humiliation of being bound by chains, she erupted with Soul Power, blue light flashing violently around her body.
Vast ice-element energy exploded outward from her as its center, and the Repelling Ice Ring formed instantly.
A pale blue ring of bone-piercing ice rapidly spread outward, carrying extreme frost and powerful repulsive force.
The violent icy force slammed into the angel chains, dazzling blue light sweeping in every direction as the air around them suddenly burst apart and a powerful frost shockwave struck Su Yu.
The tremendous impact made Shui Bing'er think she could completely knock down Su Yu before her, but quite the opposite happened—a ball of endlessly burning True Fire appeared around his body.
"How is that possible? Even a Soul Elder would find it difficult to withstand my Repelling Ice Ring so easily. You clearly suppressed your cultivation."
Shui Bing'er could hardly believe it.
"Shui Bing'er, you've got quite some nerve. Trying to deceive me with a feint? Then let me help you remember this lesson."
Su Yu then used the ropes formed by the shackles to start spanking Shui Bing'er.
"Ah, no!" Shui Bing'er screamed.
After only a few strikes, Shui Binger's backside had turned red.
Su Yu was merely teaching her a lesson and did not punish her too harshly.
Shui Binger's body collapsed onto the ground. Panting heavily and clutching her backside, she looked utterly miserable.
"Su Yu, you're so mean," Shui Bing'er said resentfully.
"Who told you to be so bold?" Su Yu waved a hand. "Fine, I won't hold it against you anymore."
Shui Bing'er snorted. "Just you wait. I definitely won't let you off."
Su Yu smiled without speaking, then turned and left the Soul Fighting Arena.
With that match over, Yu Tianheng and Feng Xiaotian had also decided their victor elsewhere.
Feng Xiaotian had deliberately concealed his strength and had not fully revealed it.
Thus, the final would be Yu Tianheng against Su Yu.
After they came down from the stage, the final began just half an hour later.
The matches were meant to be conducted quickly.
So there was no reason to delay when they did not have to.
At the final, Xue Ye frowned slightly. Clearly, he did not want to see Su Yu take the championship, yet there was nothing he could do.
After all, the registration rules allowed independent Soul Masters to participate.
Anyone who qualified for the final could enter Heaven Dou City's treasure vault and choose one treasure, and every item in that vault was immensely valuable.
He had originally wanted a contestant from his own empire to win and select a treasure, but unexpectedly, someone else would benefit for free.
Even if Yu Tianheng had made it to the final, he might not necessarily win.
Xue Ye had watched Yu Tianheng's match against Feng Xiaotian as well. He could only say that it had not been particularly impressive.
As the ruler of a nation, he naturally knew the Angel Martial Soul very well.
Every member of Spirit Hall's Angel Race was at least a Peak Douluo, and the crown princes of every generation of the empire had feared them greatly.
Aside from Qian Xunji, who had been smashed to death by Tang Hao's hammer, the only existing Peak Douluo of the Angel Race was Qian Daoliu.
The Peak Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect had long since vanished from sight. Besides, although the Clear Sky Sect was within the Heaven Dou Empire's territory, Xue Ye knew perfectly well what attitude the Clear Sky Sect held.
He could not be bothered to intervene when the Clear Sky Sect was suppressed.
It could only be said that while the Upper Three Sects claimed to share the same breath and branches, when trouble came, none of them could be relied upon.
Xue Ye looked toward Xue Qinghe, who was watching the matches beside him. "Qinghe, once the match is over, you will take Su Yu into the treasure vault to choose a treasure."
Other than Xue Qinghe, he trusted no one else. Even Prince Xue Qing, he did not trust either.
Qian Renxue paused, then immediately nodded. "Rest assured, Father. I will handle it properly."
Having me take him is perfect. I was still wondering whether I should pull some strings so Xiao Yu could choose something good for himself. I never expected to be the one taking him.
At this moment, atop the Soul Fighting Arena,
Lightning suddenly bloomed. Purple electricity coiled around Yu Tianheng as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul possessed him, its chilling dragon might sweeping through the entire arena.
He knew his opponent was formidable and did not dare hold back in the slightest, immediately going all out.
His first, second, and third soul rings lit up in succession with brilliant halos as Yu Tianheng was the first to unleash his third soul skill, Thunderous Fury.
Violent lightning surged instantly. The Soul Power and lightning power within his body increased by fifty percent and doubled respectively, sending his entire body into a berserk combat state with an exceedingly fierce aura.
Immediately afterward, his second soul skill, Thunderous Force, erupted. Countless sharp, fragmented lightning arrows exploded across the sky, covering and bombarding Su Yu from every direction, sealing off all space to evade. The lightning was blinding and carried extremely powerful paralysis.
Taking advantage of the lightning's suppression, Yu Tianheng's right arm underwent Dragonization, scales gleaming with a cold blue light as his first soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw, condensed into form.
The massive lightning dragon claw thundered as it struck directly at Su Yu's vital points with overwhelming force. Its attack was swift and domineering, fully displaying the might of the dragon Martial Soul of the Upper Three Sects.
Yet Su Yu did not panic in the slightest. As a Divine Angel Soul Ancestor, he had voluntarily suppressed his cultivation to the Soul Elder realm, but still possessed absolute superiority in level.
Golden holy light flowed around him. With a raise of his hand, he instantly activated his third soul skill, Angel Shackles.
Several condensed, pure golden chains shot through the air, precisely piercing through the rain of lightning arrows, ignoring the lightning's impact as they tightly bound Yu Tianheng's limbs and torso.
The power of thunder was suppressed layer upon layer by sacred holy light. The berserk Thunderous Fury was instantly obstructed, and his chaotic Soul Power was forcibly restrained.
Yu Tianheng desperately drove his lightning in an attempt to break free, but he could not move even an inch.
Su Yu casually waved his hand, and his first soul skill, Holy Light Slash, condensed into a sharp golden blade of light that fell with precise force.
The gentle yet immensely purifying and suppressive holy light struck Yu Tianheng's core, scattering the remaining lightning power within him and breaking every soul skill enhancement.
Yu Tianheng's entire body shuddered. His Soul Power instantly became exhausted and dispersed, his Dragonization state was forcibly released, and he fell to his knees without strength.
"You!" Yu Tianheng wanted to say something, but his opponent still wore that calm expression.
Yu Tianheng knew that he had lost utterly and had no room whatsoever to argue, but was that expression looking down on him?
Yu Tianheng clenched his fists, feeling intensely unwilling to accept it. If they had both been Soul Ancestors, the outcome might not have been certain!
"You refuse to accept it?" Su Yu asked as he looked at him.
"I refuse to accept it. If I were also a Soul Ancestor, you might not be my opponent. Besides, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is the strongest beast Martial Soul in the world. Your Angel Martial Soul is only a mere Four-Winged one, not Six-Winged. How could it possibly be stronger than mine?"
Yu Tianheng said unwillingly.
Upon hearing Yu Tianheng say this, Yu Yuanzhen beneath the Soul Fighting Arena felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart.
As expected of the young sect master of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. He has backbone and spirit.
He refuses to admit defeat.
When Qian Renxue noticed Yu Yuanzhen's satisfied gaze, she felt utterly speechless.
You do not know how powerful the Angel Martial Soul is. Have you forgotten how terrifying the Angel Race is?
Pope Shang Nuo was not Bibi Dong, but Father Qian Xunji. How could he have allowed people like you to think the Angel God was not powerful?
