"Using an amplification-type Soul Skill right from the start is a wise choice, but aren't you worried about depleting your Soul Power too quickly?"
On the steps in front of the palace gate, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire stood with his hands behind his back, coldly watching the battle between Yu Tianheng and Pei Han in the open space.
In Xue Qinghe's view—no! In Qian Renxue's view, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe— the battle between the two in front of her was nothing more than a minor skirmish, and it couldn't possibly arouse her interest at all.
Although Yu Tianheng is exceptionally talented, having reached the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor level at the age of fifteen, which is quite astonishing, there is still a considerable gap between him and himself.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely fail against Pei Han, who has the strength of a Five-Ring Soul King. However, it is worth recruiting him, since Yu Tianheng has great potential. If he reaches Pei Han's age, he may very well reach the Soul Emperor realm or even higher. In a few decades, he may become another Titled Douluo!
More importantly, he is the young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Winning him over is equivalent to winning over one of the Upper Three Sects, so he carries considerable weight.
On the open ground in front of the palace, Yu Tianheng was not satisfied with using his amplification Soul Skill. He then used the secret technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan — Dragon Transformation.
With the cracking of his bones, his arms rapidly transformed, becoming thick and covered in blue scales. His hands turned into incredibly sharp dragon claws, around which blue lightning Entanglement and hissed. At this moment, he resembled a colossal beast from ancient times, exuding a chilling aura.
Among the spectators were many knowledgeable Soul Master who immediately recognized it as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ancestral secret technique, " Dragon Transformation," and they all showed expressions of amazement.
It is said that starting from level 30, each time Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master obtains a Soul Ring, an additional feature on their body will resemble a dragon when using their Martial Soul. Upon reaching level 70, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master can truly transform into a dragon, unleashing extremely terrifying power. They are hailed as the most terrifying Power Attack System Soul Master of their level.
Yu Tianheng is currently only Four-Ring Soul Master. Logically, he should only be able to Dragon Transformation in one place, either his arm or his foot. However, incredibly, Yu Tianheng has two places where he Dragon Transformation. This shows that the bloodline of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is very pure, and its power far exceeds that of Soul Master of the same level.
By simultaneously unleashing amplification-type Soul Skill and the Dragon Transformation skill, Yu Tianheng's strength increased to a new level. Although he did not reach the Soul Power of Five-Ring Soul King, he could still hold his own against one or two for a short period of time.
" First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianheng roared and unleashed his First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw, which, carrying a violent Thunder power, attacked Pei Han with lightning speed. The dragon claw sliced through the air, leaving streaks of blue lightning, and the air was filled with a scorching atmosphere. The sand and stones on the ground were also kicked up by this powerful force.
"Good!" Pei Han shouted, his body churning with blood mist, and his crimson afterimages tore through space like Gui Mei. He activated his First Soul Skill, Blood Wolf Assault, instantly transforming into three phantoms that pounced on Yu Tianheng from different directions.
The two attacks collided with a deafening roar, Thunder and blood light intertwining and bursting forth. The lightning on Yu Tianheng's dragon claws danced wildly, completely suppressing the sharpness of the blood-red wolf claws; Pei Han's blood shadow, though fierce, sizzled the moment it touched the Thunder, as if it were oil being scorched by high temperature.
The shockwave spread outwards from the point of impact, sending debris flying.
Pei Han was thrown backward by the force of the Thunder, staggering several steps when he landed. Although he was not injured, he was somewhat disheveled.
He stared incredulously at his slightly numb wolf claws—he was clearly Soul King, while Yu Tianheng was merely Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, his Soul Power Level a whole major realm lower than his own. Why was it that, even though they were both using their First Soul Skill, his First Soul Skill seemed so fragile under Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw?
The onlookers were all surprised to see Pei Han fall into a disadvantageous position in their first exchange.
But he didn't think much of it, after all, Yu Tianheng had used two amplification skills in succession, which greatly increased his combat power.
Left with no other choice, Pei Han unleashed his Second Soul Skill, Bloodthirsty Claw Strike. His hands transformed into even sharper Blood Wolf claws, with attacks that had a life-stealing effect. However, this was contingent on injuring Yu Tianheng's body and causing him to bleed. Once successful, each attack would absorb a portion of Yu Tianheng's life force or Soul Power, converting it into his own Soul Power or stamina, thus enhancing his endurance and combat stamina.
He intended to slowly wear down Yu Tianheng using this method.
As he unleashed his Soul Skill, Pei Han's fighting spirit surged, and he charged straight at Yu Tianheng, wanting to engage him in close combat.
Yu Tianheng seemed to read Pei Han, thinking to himself, "Want to engage in close combat? Then so be it!"
They then ran off just as fast as they could.
Pei Han sneered, "A mere Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, you think you can fight me? You overestimate yourself!" As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed a wolf claw attack. Instead of retreating, Yu Tianheng advanced, his dragon arm sweeping like an iron whip, completely repelling Pei Han's attack.
"Naive!" Yu Tianheng's power surged, perfectly fusing the power of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul with his years of Martial Dao cultivation.
He cultivates both Martial Dao and is not only Soul Master but also a martial artist, and what martial artists fear least is close combat.
In terms of hand-to-hand combat, a martial artist's fighting power far surpasses that of Power Attack System Soul Master!
Yu Tianheng curled his fingers into a claw and unleashed the mid-grade Martial Skill " Dragon Claw Hand," a " Dragon Shadow Pierces the Clouds " strike aimed directly at Pei Han's face. Pei Han hastily retreated to defend, his wolf claw colliding with Yu Tianheng's dragon claw, but it felt like hitting steel, his tiger's mouth numbing from the shock.
Yu Tianheng's attacks were like a tidal wave, his continuous kicks accompanied by sharp whistling sounds, each strike carrying the force of a thousand pounds.
Pei Han retreated repeatedly, occasionally seizing an opportunity to unleash Blood Wolf, its claws striking Yu Tianheng's body. However, Yu Tianheng had cultivated the Jade Bone Realm, making his physical defense extremely powerful, his body as hard as cold jade. Therefore, Pei Han's attacks only left shallow marks on Yu Tianheng, failing to harm him in the slightest.
Since he couldn't break through Yu Tianheng's defenses and injure him, he naturally couldn't absorb blood. His plan failed, and Yu Tianheng's shoulder. The intense pain caused Pei Han to groan and fly backward for more than ten feet.
Upon landing, the ground was cracked in a spiderweb pattern. Pei Han, clutching his bleeding shoulder, was horrified to discover that the physical strength of this Four-Ring opponent was several times more terrifying than that of himself, a Soul King!
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng mocked, " Five-Ring Soul King is nothing special. Pei Han, you've disappointed me greatly!"
Pei Han sneered, " Yu Tianheng, don't be so smug. The battle has only just begun!"
"Today I will show you the power of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill!"
