Xu Zi had shone far too brightly yesterday.
Not only had he demonstrated outstanding command abilities, but through remote control of his Martial Soul, which combined tool and beast, he had single-handedly swallowed the Skywater Team's trump card-their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
He had turned the raging tide, and that previous battle alone had firmly raised the Spirit Hall Second Team into the top ten.
After all, the Skywater Team's Ice Phoenix had enough fighting power to contend with a Five-Ring Soul King.
If that Purple Sun really fell to the ground and recreated yesterday's scene in the Heaven Thunder Team's rear, probably no one present besides the Blue Lightning Twin Stars and Lei Tian could survive the dragon's jaws.
But now, there was no need to tremble in fear anymore.
Because Lei Tian, the team's only Agility Attack System member and a rare flying-type Soul Ancestor, was using his greatest speed and strongest attack-
To strike straight at a level 37 Soul Elder, six levels below him and one ring short!
And that Soul Elder's Martial Soul was firmly restrained not far away.
Lei Tian was not afraid of a dragon's head suddenly emerging from the Purple Sun overhead, either.
Because yesterday, the Heaven Thunder Team had also noticed that Xu Zi needed a very obvious period of charging and waiting before unleashing "Dragon in the Sun."
During that time, he had kept flapping his gums, drawing Shui Bing'er's attention.
But the Heaven Thunder Team would not give Xu Zi that chance!
Lei Tian struck down at Xu Zi with the speed of thunder that left no time to cover one's ears.
Shi Xing and the Second Team's five frontliners were pinned down by the Blue Lightning Twin Stars in their Dragon Transformation state and their teammates. At this hair's-breadth moment, they had no time to come to his aid!
Having woven his net across the western half and controlled the entire field for so long, Lei Dong finally revealed a savage look of triumph. "Without your patch of sunshine, these six won't last ten seconds under the snake venom and electric net!"
Like a hawk diving on its prey, Lei Tian reached him in the blink of an eye.
His fourth ring had dimmed from sustaining his prolonged flight, but his third ring suddenly lit up?
The four eagle talons on his hands and feet trailed blue electrical arcs through the air, striking straight at Xu Zi's shoulders and chest.
"Support System captain of the Spirit Hall Second Team, it's all over!"
In an instant-
The Purple Sun enveloped by the lightning net suddenly dimmed, then dissolved into violet clouds and vanished.
Relief appeared on the faces of all six Heaven Thunder Team members, including the twin stars.
Overjoyed, Lei Dong said, "Lei Tian did it, Captain!"
Yu Tianxin naturally knew he was being addressed and immediately shouted, "Get up! Do it!"
"Right!" Lei Dong released his firmly planted horse stance. His first, second, third, and fourth rings all glowed, and he clawed at the ground with all ten fingers and pulled.
The electric net on the ground abruptly rose into the air, joining and merging with the lightning net overhead into one enormous web of lightning. It blotted out the sky and covered the earth, enveloping more than half the Soul Fighting Plaza.
Lei Dong moved like a fisherman, casting the lightning web headfirst over Shi Xing.
At the same time, Yu Tianheng, who had Shi Xing pinned down, also shouted, "Yanzi, now!"
Dugu Yan had only just caught her breath and hurriedly answered, "Right!"
Using what little Soul Power she had left, she activated her third Soul Skill, "Jade Phosphor Purple Poison," enveloping the Spirit Hall Second Team's five frontliners.
With the Purple Sun in the sky extinguished, her snake venom would once again become a deadly weapon against the enemy.
Elsewhere, Shi Xing resisted the lightning web's electric shocks while enduring the fierce onslaught of Yu Tianheng in his Dragon Transformation state.
Under the paralysis and blows, Shi Xing finally could not hold out. On the fifth second, he fell back and collapsed, eliminated on the spot.
The lion's blazing flames went out...
Elsewhere, the three brothers spun their Dragon Pattern Staffs, sweeping away most of the purple poisonous mist. But Jade Scale Purple Poison seeped through every opening, and even that small remaining dose still drained their stamina.
Tuoba She and Huang Su were driven back step after step, and the five-man line was on the verge of being broken.
Just then, Yu Tianxin saw Shi Xing fall. His confidence soared, and he shouted toward the space behind the five before him, "Lei Tian, turn around! Hit them from behind while we attack from the front!"
Yet Yu Tianxin received no response from Lei Tian.
Instead, what answered him was a dazzling flash of purple light, as though a purple sun had risen from the ground in the eastern half of the arena.
At this sight, all six Heaven Thunder Team members cried out in shock, "What's going on?"
Where the sun rose, the Thunder Eagle Soul Master, Lei Tian, was facing the Purple Sun, his back to the eleven people in the western half.
For some unknown reason, his body was shaking in violent shudders.
Because ten purple-gold dragon claws had pierced the bases of all ten fingers on his taloned hands. As blood flowed and pain struck his mind, Lei Tian's lips could not help trembling.
Time flashed back five seconds.
Lei Tian had unleashed his third and fourth Soul Skills and struck in an instant, but the hands and feet that clawed and kicked his target sent back a dull ache-the hard sensation he had only felt before when striking Defense System Soul Ancestors.
Yet this Support System member whom the entire team had looked down on, this level 37 Soul Elder who only hid far away and watched the show, remained rooted to the spot after Lei Tian's full-force surprise assault, not moving an inch.
As for Xu Zi, after taking four instantaneous strikes, his face remained calm. Instead, his purple eyes revealed a trace of the joy of successfully turning an enemy's scheme against them.
"If you couldn't fly, if I weren't still too low-level to grow dragon wings, would I have bothered playing along with you for so long?"
The Purple Sun that had vanished from the arena rose anew behind him.
And Lei Tian, mere inches away, saw a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Brilliant violet clouds gushed from the sun and flowed into Xu Zi's body, becoming purple crystal dragon scales that grew across his chest, back, shoulders, fists, outer hip bones, and the joints of his limbs.
This second, Yu Tianxin's call came from behind Lei Tian. The next second...
With a shhk, ten purple-gold dragon claws burst from the tips of Xu Zi's fingers.
With a pfft, the sharp claws instantly pierced Lei Tian's electrified eagle talons.
Dragon strength arose from his bones, the contours of his muscles showing through his skin.
With just a little force, Xu Zi snapped both of Lei Tian's elbow bones. His dragon claws carried the other man's palms into his chest, leaving ten bloody holes.
Before the six shocked faces of the Heaven Thunder Team, their only Agility Attack System Soul Master was lifted one-handed like a rag doll and casually hurled fifty meters away.
Just far enough to land outside the arena.
At that moment, an overwhelmingly powerful dragon might spread through the air, pressing down on the entire arena like sunlight spilling over the earth.
At that moment, everyone present was stunned!
The judges' seats were in constant uproar. "What is that? What is that now?"
A Martial Soul that combined tool and beast could actually perform Martial Soul Possession too?!
"Now this is..." Ling Yuan watched with her heart surging and her face flushed. She could not help pursing her lips and murmuring, "Now this is how the man who pinned me beneath him..."
"Should look."
Glancing sideways at the three empty seating areas for Heaven Dou, the Star Luo Empire, and Seven Treasure, Ling Yuan sneered. "What a pity you didn't get to see this splendor."
Because after Shrek left, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi, the disciple and master representing Heaven Dou and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had already eagerly followed them out with their farewells.
And after the Star Luo Royal Academy Team left the arena, the Star Luo Empire's official delegation had promptly departed as well, going to fawn over their future emperor.
Thus, none of the three parties had stayed long enough to witness this stunning scene.
