Tiga vs. the Ice Emperor

Luo Yang turned his head to glance at Hai Bodong, who was desperately chasing after him, and chuckled.

The speed of a Dou Huang expert flying with Dou Qi Wings was certainly impressive, but it was still far too slow compared to Sky Type Tiga's Mach 7.

Just as Hai Bodong, flying at full speed, was about to catch up, Luo Yang accelerated again, leaving him far behind once more.

About ten minutes later, Luo Yang and Hai Bodong arrived at a stretch of desert several hundred kilometers away.

The terrain here was flat, without any large dunes.

There were no outsiders to disturb them, nor did they have to worry about disturbing anyone else. It was perfect for a training ground.

"Elder Hai, let's begin..."

Luo Yang turned around and hovered in the air, facing the newly arrived Hai Bodong as he took a fighting stance.

His chuuni soul erupted. Ever since transmigrating into this world, Luo Yang had wanted to fight an expert using his own abilities...

What? Wasn't he still himself after transforming?

If Xiao Yan could let Yao Chen possess him, why couldn't he turn into light?

"W-wait... a... moment... let me... catch my breath first..."

Having just flown several hundred kilometers at full speed, Hai Bodong was panting like an ordinary person who had just finished a hundred-meter sprint. Seeing Luo Yang ready to attack, he hurriedly raised a hand to signal a timeout.

But Luo Yang acted as though he had not heard him. Blue energy gathered in his palm, and he unleashed a minor finisher at Hai Bodong as an appetizer.

Ranbalt Light Bullet!!!

"Fuck!!"

Hai Bodong swore and immediately leaned backward. The Ranbalt Light Bullet skimmed past his hair, narrowly missing him-and nearly throwing out his old back.

Readjusting his posture and breathing, Hai Bo grew serious. Sensing Dou Qi from Luo Yang that was no weaker than his own, he dared not let his guard down in the slightest.

He curled his hand around empty air. The surrounding icy mist rapidly condensed, finally solidifying into a snow-white ice spear in his palm.

After forming the ice spear from Dou Qi, Hai Bodong swiftly made a seal with his other hand, then gave a low shout.

"Ice Spirit Armor!"

As his shout fell, the icy mist filling the surroundings immediately formed a thick suit of ice armor over Hai Bodong's body, gleaming with a cold luster.

As Hai Bodong used his Ice Dou Qi, the temperature of the surrounding air rapidly dropped. Vaguely, flakes of snow even seemed to drift down from the sky...

It was actually snowing in the desert.

He truly lived up to the name of Ice Emperor.

Luo Yang did not choose to attack during this opening, instead giving Hai Bodong ample time to gather his power.

"Mysterious Ice Spinning Kill!!!"

Hai Bodong roared, ice spear in hand, and thrust toward Luo Yang.

Cold winds swept along ice and snow, their momentum unstoppable.

From its imposing force alone, Luo Yang had a rough idea of how powerful Hai Bodong's attack was. Even with Tiga's body, he would not take it head-on without enlarging himself. His figure flashed, and he dodged it.

In terms of speed, Tiga Sky Type was much faster than a Dou Huang expert.

"Elder Hai, you're not fast enough..."

Luo Yang let one leg hang naturally while drawing the other in slightly, smiling at Hai Bodong.

"Hmph! Is dodging all you can do?"

Hai Bodong snorted coldly, growing a little angry.

He brandished his ice spear again, stamping hard against empty air to propel himself forward. The ice wings on his back vibrated furiously, making him thirty percent faster than before.

"Good timing. I'm just afraid you'll be the one dodging..."

Luo Yang stopped holding back as well. Crossing his hands over his forehead, he switched back to the red-and-blue Multi Type.

He struck another pose, crossing his open hands before him and slowly spreading them apart as countless particles of light gathered on his arms.

Hyah!!!

Zeperion Ray!!

Bzzzzzzzzzz!!

With his charge complete, Luo Yang assumed the posture of a student raising his hand to answer a question in class, firing a powerful beam from his arm.

Mysterious Ice Spinning Kill!!

Hai Bodong neither dodged nor evaded. He unleashed Mysterious Ice Spinning Kill at full power, colliding with the Zeperion Ray.

After a deadlock lasting one Kun-second, the two forces erupted in a tremendous explosion. Hai Bodong was sent flying a considerable distance before barely managing to steady himself.

Luo Yang was also driven back two and a half meters by the shock wave.

After steadying himself, Luo Yang prepared to unleash another finishing ray.

Although his combat power was not high at this size, his energy consumption was equally low. He could unleash over a dozen finishers without his light even flashing red.

"Go!!!"

Seeing that Luo Yang intended to use that terrifyingly powerful "Dou Technique" again, Hai Bodong immediately countered, hurling his ice spear violently toward him.

Before Luo Yang could finish gathering energy for his next Zeperion Ray, the ice spear had already shot straight at his face. He had no choice but to stop charging immediately and turn sideways to dodge the head-on strike.

Before Luo Yang could react, Hai Bodong formed another ice spear and closed in, giving him no opportunity to charge a Dou Technique.

Luo Yang could only dodge passively, searching for a chance to strike back.

After a little over a hundred exchanges, Hai Bodong felt it was about time. He retreated a hundred meters away, the ice spear in his hand disappearing as he gathered Ice Dou Qi in one hand.

Around him, enormous ice dragons dozens of meters long slowly materialized.

With every breath of those frost dragons, biting cold poured forth. They circled ceaselessly around Hai Bodong, so lifelike that they seemed like real creatures.

"Mysterious Ice Dragon Soaring!!!"

Roooar-

Hai Bodong roared, and nine ice dragons bellowed and howled, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they lunged at Luo Yang.

Nine at once. It seemed Hai Bodong truly was bringing out his full strength. Even a Peak Dou Emperor would probably have to brace for a Dou Technique this formidable.

No wonder he had dared to duel the Nine-Star Dou Emperor Yun Shan atop Misty Cloud Mountain back then, slaughtered a Dou Huang expert and a Dou Wang expert with overwhelming force at the Four Great Empires' tournament, and braved the Tagor Desert to battle Queen Medusa...

Although Queen Medusa had ultimately sealed his cultivation for twenty years, he had still earned glory in defeat.

"Since you're going all out, Elder Hai, I won't keep anything hidden either..."

At his current size, Multi Type Tiga could only display the strength of a Three-Star Dou Emperor, with his maximum destructive power reaching only around five-star level. Facing Hai Bodong, who had been famous for many years and possessed abundant combat experience, Luo Yang, who had cultivated for only half a year, was still too much of a novice to gain the upper hand in this fight.

Luo Yang raised one arm with his fist clenched, and his body rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, he had grown from a human-sized 1.9 meters into a 55-meter Giant of Light.

As his body grew, his weight and mass increased geometrically, and his defenses likewise far surpassed what they had been. Thus, when facing the nine ice dragons, he neither dodged nor evaded, nor showed any intention of using a defensive skill.

Instead, he planted both hands on his hips, imitating his father-in-law Ultraman taking beams with his pectorals, and forcibly smashed all nine ice dragons apart with his body.

As the ice dragons struck Tiga's enormous body, they seemed like little snakes, losing the oppressive presence of "giant dragons" they had originally possessed.

Even Hai Bodong's powerful signature Dou Technique-Mysterious Ice Dragon Soaring-failed to cause the slightest actual damage.

"What?!!!"

Hai Bodong's mouth fell wide open in shock. He had never expected his full-powered Mysterious Ice Dragon Soaring to shatter like glass upon contact.
