After getting a little more familiar with Bug Bite.
Yu Xiaochuan went home for an afternoon nap. He needed to rest and gather his strength.
At dusk, he went to the grove to fight Yu Tianheng.
"Xiaochuan, you're here! I've been waiting ages for you."
Yu Tianheng's eyes filled with excitement when he saw Yu Xiaochuan arrive as promised.
Heaven knew how long he had waited for this day. Over the past few months, he had not enjoyed a single peaceful night's sleep; he had all but replaced sleeping with cultivating Soul Power.
Only through that had he managed to advance one level over these months.
And Yu Xiaochuan?
That bastard had reached level nine just by eating and drinking.
Level nine!
That was level nine in just a few months.
It had not been a year-no, it had not even been half a year!
Yet he had reached level nine.
Was that something a human could do?
He was simply a beast!
Yu Tianheng thought to himself that if he did not seize the moment and give Yu Xiaochuan a beating now...
Who knew how long he would have to wait to avenge his humiliation?
If he waited until Yu Xiaochuan had also added his first Soul Ring, he would no longer have an advantage.
While he still had the advantage of a Soul Ring, he had to seize the opportunity to give Yu Xiaochuan a thorough beating and avenge those towering horns on his head!
"Tian Heng, let's begin!"
Yu Xiaochuan stretched his arms and clenched his fists, watching the little brother before him who refused to admit defeat, ready to teach him a lesson.
While Yu Tianheng was still young, he could still beat him a few times. Once the little brother had added a few Soul Rings, his Caterpie would no longer measure up.
Caterpie had now reached level nine, and its potential was almost exhausted.
If he wanted to break through to level ten without evolving into Metapod, he would have to find some genuine heavenly treasures to increase its potential.
Yu Xiaochuan was already prepared to leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and venture out in search of opportunities.
After giving this little brother a beating before leaving, he would stop.
In the future, he would not fight Yu Tianheng without absolute confidence in victory, preserving his undefeated record against him.
The evening breeze blew through the woods, and the setting sun brought the feel of dusk.
The two struck at the same time.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, possess me!"
A bright yellow Soul Ring lit up around Yu Tianheng.
Although he had called for possession, his build did not change. There was no Dragon Transformation at all, only some blue-violet lightning around him.
"Caterpie, possess me!"
With a thought, Yu Xiaochuan also activated Martial Soul Possession, and a red Y-shaped marking appeared on his forehead.
His body became as nimble as a bug's.
"So this is your hidden move, Xiaochuan? You can actually make an external beast Martial Soul possess you! Even my Uncle Xiaogang hasn't managed that!"
When Yu Tianheng saw the marking on Yu Xiaochuan's forehead, his expression grew even more cautious.
Sure enough, Yu Xiaochuan was not someone he could underestimate.
Every time he thought Yu Xiaochuan had no more tricks left, he would spring another surprise on him.
As expected of a Martial Soul of the same type as his Uncle Xiaogang's, and of an opponent he acknowledged!
But today, even with his hidden ability to use Martial Soul Possession, Yu Xiaochuan could not escape his doom.
"But if that's all you've got, you'll just have to take your beating!"
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianheng shouted, and the yellow hundred-year Soul Ring around him shone brightly.
A thunder dragon claw formed and shot toward Yu Xiaochuan.
At the thunder dragon claw's tremendous speed, the dozen or so meters between them might as well have been a hair's breadth.
Wherever the thunder dragon claw passed, the air twisted violently, and crackling rang out incessantly.
"Electroweb, go!"
Yu Xiaochuan raised his hand and flicked it, shooting an Electroweb from his wrist.
He rolled to the side.
Raising his other hand, he shot a thread that stuck to a distant tree. As the thread reeled in, it pulled his body up into the tree.
Boom!
The Electroweb held the thunder dragon claw back for a brief instant before being pierced.
Still carrying tremendous power, it struck the bark behind Yu Xiaochuan, leaving a charred dragon claw mark.
"What a Thunder Dragon Claw! If I hadn't dodged in time, taking that hit would probably have seriously injured me!"
With lingering fear, Yu Xiaochuan looked at the mark left by the thunder dragon claw. He had not expected it to be so powerful.
Electroweb still fell far short of this Thunder Dragon Claw.
Alas, the gap in base stats between Caterpie and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon really was too great.
"Electroweb-what a fine Electroweb!"
"Xiaochuan, is this your self-created Soul Skill? It's a good Soul Skill."
Yu Tianheng broke free of the Electroweb wrapped around him. Although his thunder dragon claw had pierced it, it had only punched a hole in the web, which had still descended over him.
Fortunately, this Electroweb had little power to hurt him.
Once free, he launched another thunder dragon claw at Yu Xiaochuan, who was already up in a tree.
Yu Xiaochuan immediately jumped down from the tree. With a flick of his wrist, he flung out a String Shot that stuck to a distant tree, then swung over.
Boom!
Thunder roared behind him as the thunder dragon claw Yu Xiaochuan had dodged unleashed its full power.
"Give up, Tian Heng. You can't hit me! Why don't we call this round a draw? Your Thunder Dragon Claw is so powerful, but how many times can you use it? A few more uses will probably drain your Soul Power."
Yu Xiaochuan did everything he could to evade Yu Tianheng's attacks.
To be honest, the thunder dragon claw struck very quickly, but fortunately, with the Run Away Ability, Yu Xiaochuan was a little faster and could just barely dodge it.
"Shut up, Xiaochuan! This time, I'm definitely going to teach you a proper lesson!"
Yu Tianheng knew Yu Xiaochuan was trying to unsettle him with words, but he could not help growing somewhat anxious.
That was right-how many more times could he use Thunder Dragon Claw?
Yu Xiaochuan's peculiar way of leaping through the air, swinging on String Shot, really was incredibly nimble.
He simply could not catch up.
That was it-this way of moving through the air depended on String Shot.
An idea struck Yu Tianheng. He formed a thunder dragon claw and fired it at Yu Xiaochuan's String Shot. Sure enough, he severed it, forcing Yu Xiaochuan to the ground.
"Not bad, Tian Heng. You noticed."
Yu Xiaochuan felt his wrist go slack and sensed that his String Shot had been severed. Forced to land, he hurriedly rolled on the ground to dissipate the impact.
After just one roll, he stood up as though nothing had happened.
This was the physique he had after Caterpie possessed him.
At that moment, Yu Tianheng charged forward and began fighting Yu Xiaochuan at close quarters. Noticing that the boy no longer used Thunder Dragon Claw and instead gathered lightning on his fists...
Yu Xiaochuan knew the boy's Soul Power had already bottomed out.
"Haha, you're out of Soul Power!"
Golden lightning also gathered on Yu Xiaochuan's fist as it collided with Yu Tianheng's fist, which bore blue-violet lightning.
Since Yu Xiaochuan could use Electroweb, he naturally had command of electric-type power. Simply applying it to his fists was still within his abilities.
"Hmph! Even without Soul Power, I can still beat you!"
Yu Tianheng snorted coldly, increasing the lightning gathered on his fist as he struck at Yu Xiaochuan with even heavier, swifter punches.
Their fists collided, crackling rang through the air, and lightning scattered in all directions.
After the exchange of punches.
Yu Xiaochuan retreated several steps, while Yu Tianheng took only one step back.
In this clash of fists, Yu Xiaochuan was clearly at a disadvantage.
