The First Battle: Young Geniuses Clash!

A few days later, countless people gathered here on the outskirts of Dragon City.

Besides those from the Spirit Contract Pagoda and the Anti-Spirit Alliance, countless others eager to see what happens have gathered here.

The Spirit Contract Pagoda and the Anti-Spirit Alliance, two opposing forces, are finally settling their scores. Wouldn't it be a terrible mistake to miss such an epic battle?!

Neither the Spirit Contract Pagoda nor the Anti-Spirit Alliance paid any attention to the onlookers. Both sides were preparing for the upcoming battle, as it was a competition that would determine the ownership of Dragon Valley, so it was normal to make extensive preparations for it.

The requirement for the first stop of this Youth Genius Battle is that the most outstanding disciples under the age of twenty from both sides participate. Both sides can use Soul Tool to fight, but fixed Soul Tool that store Soul Power in advance are not allowed.

The rules are basically the same as those of the Continent-wide Soul Master Tournament. The difference is that since this is a battle between forces, life and death in this battle are determined by fate. Of course, if a contestant concedes defeat, they cannot be killed.

In this battle, the choice of Spirit Contract Pagoda was clearly Xu Xingyu. After all, Spirit Contract Pagoda could not find anyone under the age of twenty who was stronger than Xu Xingyu. Moreover, if there was someone stronger than Xu Xingyu, that person would have to have at least the combat power of Demigod to be able to do so.

Although it might seem unfair to punish Xu Xingyu from this perspective, it's necessary to take drastic measures against harassers like the Anti-Spirit Alliance.

As for the person sent by the Anti-Spirit Alliance, it was Yu Tianlong, the young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and also the young Yu Tianlong master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

Yu Tianlong is a level 61 Soul Emperor with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon as his Martial Soul. He is also the person in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who possesses the purest Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Bloodline.

As for why Yu Tianlong was able to reach the Soul Emperor level so quickly, it's because Yu Tianyu Yu Tianlong him a portion of the energy he had collected from Dragon Valley and the Soul Bone treasured by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan a few months ago.

Having absorbed the pure dragon attribute energy from Dragon Valley and the energy within the Soul Bone, Yu Tianlong's cultivation level skyrocketed, advancing him from a level 51 Soul King to a level 60 Soul Emperor. Then, before the start of this competition, he luckily found a suitable sixth ring for him.

Therefore, he became the primary candidate for the young contestant between the Spirit Contract Pagoda and the Anti-Spirit Alliance. After all, in their understanding, it was impossible for anyone to reach the Soul Emperor level at the age of fifteen like Yu Tianlong!

Therefore, as long as Yu Tianlong appears, no matter who else from the Spirit Contract Pagoda appears, they will inevitably win!

However, what happened next made them realize how naive their ideas were. After all, people's talents are different. Perhaps Yu Tianlong could be considered a very good genius in most cases, but he was no match for Xu Xingyu, who was an unparalleled prodigy.

The two participants had arrived at the arena set up for the competition, each standing in their designated spot awaiting the referee's decision.

During this waiting period, a thick drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the dark clouds above began to gather, indicating that a storm was imminent.

Neither the Spirit Contract Pagoda nor the Anti-Spirit Alliance intervened to stop it. Although each faction had individuals capable of influencing celestial phenomena, neither side took it seriously.

The Anti-Spirit Alliance's reasoning was that in such rainy or even thunderstorm conditions, Yu Tianlong's combat power would be greatly amplified with the help of the weather, therefore they had no reason to organize.

Spirit Contract Pagoda's plan was to crush Yu Tianlong under such circumstances, thereby gradually diminishing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's influence within the Anti-Spirit Alliance. This would allow them to understand that the mere Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was not worthy of being called the number one Beast Martial Soul in the world.

At this moment, Xu Xingyu and Yu Tianlong stared at each other, their fighting spirit evident in their eyes. However, when the referee blew the whistle, neither of them immediately attacked the other. Instead, they began to politely introduce themselves.

"Yu Tianlong, a level 61 Soul Emperor, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

"Xu Xingyu, Level 65 Soul Emperor."

After speaking, the two of them released their Martial Soul and Soul Ring. Yu Tianlong's Soul Ring were fine, they were standard yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, the standard Soul Ring age that Soul Emperor should have.

Xu Xingyu's version was a bit exaggerated. Her first three Soul Ring Soul Ring were red, while the last three were a special purple with golden patterns, giving her a lofty and divine feeling.

Yes, all of Xu Xingyu's Ziwei Star Martial Soul's Soul Ring have advanced to the 100,000-year level. Among them, his second Soul Spirit Thundering Hell Vine, received the greatest benefit. As the only Thundering Hell Vine to advance to the 100,000-year level, it awakened its own Thunder God Bloodline power at the moment of advancement.

Therefore, its Soul Ring is not the red Soul Ring that should normally appear after 100,000 years, but the Golden Soul Ring that is currently being displayed.

At this stage, the Soul Ring it provides cannot compare with those of God Level, but due to the Thunder God Bloodline, their quality is much stronger than that of most Ferocious Beast Soul Ring.

Yu Tianlong, who was his opponent, was also surprised to see this. Normally, a purple Soul Ring represents Thousand-Year Soul Ring, but what top power would allow a successor to absorb Thousand-Year Soul Ring in his fifth and Sixth Soul Ring positions?

Furthermore, Yu Tianlong could clearly sense a power emanating from these purple Soul Ring that surpassed that of the red Soul Ring, leading him to conclude that these were special Soul Ring created by the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

After all, it's not a big secret that the Spirit Contract Pagoda has a way to advance the age of Soul Ring, so developing this special heterochromatic Soul Ring isn't a big deal.

This only intensified the already immense pressure on Yu Tianlong. She was already wary of this guy who had taken a liking to her, a guy younger than her, yet possessed cultivation far surpassing her own. Now, his Soul Ring were so monstrous—was she left with no chance of survival?!

!

However, for the sake of the Anti-Spirit Alliance's victory, he had to grit his teeth and face the challenge. With that in mind, Yu Tianlong immediately unleashed his second and third Soul Skill, Thunderous Might and Thunder's Fury.

Not content with the enhanced Yu Tianlong, after strengthening himself with his Soul Skill, he also activated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Dragon Transformation Technique, transforming his body into a half-dragon human form and greatly increasing his strength.

He was now confident that even a Soul Saint would not be able to escape unscathed from facing him. With that thought, Yu Tianlong used his first Soul Skill Thunder Dragon Claw, and rushed towards Xu Xingyu's location.

Xu Xingyu did not show any expression about this until the moment Yu Tianlong's attack was about to hit him, at Xu Xingyu point he began to take action.

Xu Xingyu swiftly extended her fair, jade-like hand and grasped Yu Tianlong's so-called Thunder Dragon Claw. The powerful pressure emanating from her palm prevented Yu Tianlong from launching any further attacks.

Xu Xingyu seemed to ignore the thunderous power emanating from the Thunder Dragon Claw, calmly watching Yu Tianlong with an expression that seemed to say, "That's all?"

Before Yu Tianlong could get angry, Xu Xingyu clenched her free hand and swung it at Yu Tianlong. At the same moment, Xu Xingyu also unleashed Yu Tianlong Yu Tianlong's Thunder Dragon Claw, sending him flying dozens of meters away with a single punch.

Feeling the brute force emanating from Xu Xingyu's small fist, Yu Tianlong couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear. He could tell that Xu Xingyu had definitely held back in that attack.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be no problem for him to pierce Yu Tianlong's heart with brute force?

But as Yue thought about this, Yu Tianlong's anger flared even more, and he began to shout in his heart, "Why!"

!

You're all geniuses!

Why are you so incredibly powerful?!

Yu Tianlong was initially quite pleased with himself for reaching the Soul Emperor level at such a young age, but it turned out that the boy in front of him, who was younger than him, was not only also Soul Emperor, but his cultivation was also much higher than his!

This further fueled Yu Tianlong's fighting spirit. Since he couldn't win in close combat, he would use ranged attacks to wear down his opponent!

!

Thinking this through, Yu Tianlong began to devise new tactics for himself, determined to snatch victory from Xu Xingyu in this match!

A white light appeared above Yu Tianlong's head, and a pure white jade crown appeared on his head. This was the Snow Jade Crown, one of the True Dragon Nine Crowns, the most treasured trump card of the Blue Lightning Yu Tianlong Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

The so-called True Dragon Nine Crowns are actually made from fragments of the Soul Bone left behind by the ancient Dragon King. The way to use them is the same as that of Soul Bone. However, absorbing the True Dragon Nine Crowns will not increase the user's Soul Skill, but will instead increase the age of the Soul Ring absorbed by the user.

The drawback is that because these Soul Bone are incomplete, absorbing them consumes a lot of life force. Therefore, unless it is a matter of life and death, the strongest member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will not easily fuse with the so-called True Dragon Nine Crowns.

Of course, the True Dragon Nine Crowns were not actually made from the Dragon King's Soul Bone; to be more precise, they were made from the Soul Bone of pure descendants of the Dragon King.

Ten thousand years ago, Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, absorbed eight of the True Dragon Nine Crowns during the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation, enabling his last three Soul Ring to advance to 999,999 years, allowing him to contend with the powerful figures from the Soul Ring Spirit Hall.

Although Yu Yuanzhen ultimately met a tragic end, being killed by the Spirit Hall and having his Soul Bone stripped away, it was precisely because of his sacrifice that the last members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan escaped and spent ten thousand years rebuilding the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

However, the True Dragon Nine Crowns that merged with Yu Yuanzhen in that battle were also taken back by the Spirit Hall. Even after the Spirit Hall was destroyed by the Sea God Tang San, some of the True Dragon Nine Crowns were still lost, including the piece that Yu Yuanzhen did not absorb. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan was left with only five pieces.

Among them, the Snow Jade Crown is the most special one of the True Dragon Nine Crowns. It is the most powerful and the most complete piece of the Nine Crowns, and therefore, unlike the other True Dragon Nine Crowns, it can be considered as a Head Soul Bone.

If Yu Yuanzhen had chosen to absorb the Snow Jade Crown instead of entrusting it to the then-young clan leader Yu Tianheng, then with the amplification of the Snow Jade Crown, his last three Soul Ring would not only have officially entered the 100,000-year level, but he would also have had the ability to kill the invaders of the Spirit Hall.

However, if he did that, Yu Yuanzhen would die from consuming too much Power of Life, thus failing to escape the Destruction of the Blue Spot Tyrant Dragon Family. That's why he entrusted it to Yu Tianheng for safekeeping before his death, as a preparation for the family's rebirth.

Besides the ability to increase the lifespan of Soul Ring granted by other dragon crowns, the Snow Jade Crown can also further stimulate the dragon blood within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, causing it to Martial Soul Evolution into the Thunder Sacred Dragon, the purest form of the Lightning Dragon Clan.

This is because the Soul Bone used to make the Snow Jade Crown was taken from the purest royal lineage of the Lightning Dragon Clan.

However, the conditions for absorbing the Snow Jade Crown are extremely difficult. Xu Xingyu never expected that Yu Tianlong would be able to absorb the Snow Jade Crown at this age, and that he would use the Snow Jade Crown to win this competition.

Although the Snow Jade Crown consumes less life force compared to the other Nine Crowns because it is more complete, it still consumes life force!

As the Snow Jade Crown appeared, the Yu Tianlong's original blue scales slowly turned snow-white, and the indigo lightning surrounding him also transformed into a blazing white lightning.

The current Yu Tianlong is no longer a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master, but a Thunder Sacred Dragon Soul Master with the Lightning Dragon King Bloodline flowing through his veins!

Finally, Xu Xingyu looked at her seriously and said softly, "Things are finally getting interesting. Let me see if you're qualified to use the Lightning Dragon King's power."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianlong immediately unleashed his fourth Soul Skill, Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Rush, and a divine dragon formed from white lightning appeared before everyone.

The thunder dragon did not attack Xu Xingyu immediately, but instead, under Yu Tianlong's control, it soared into the sky. Only then did the people nearby notice that it was not only raining, but also experiencing a thunderstorm.

The moment the Thunder Dragon came into contact with the thundercloud, it began to absorb the thunderous power emanating from it! This was something only the Yu Tianlong, with the blessing of the Snow Jade Crown, could achieve through its control over the Lightning Attribute.

In order to further enhance the power of the Thunder Dragon, he actually used his fifth Soul Skill, Thunder Hell, and shared his Thunder Dragon with it. However, the moment Thunder Hell came into contact with the Thunder Dragon, it was also absorbed by it.

At this moment, the power contained within the Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Rush would be so great that even a Soul Emperor, a Soul Douluo, or even Titled Douluo would not dare to face this attack without taking any precautions.

However, just as Yu Tianlong turned smugly towards Xu Xingyu, hoping to see her composed expression, he found that Xu Xingyu's expression remained unchanged, as if to say, "Hurry up and use it, I don't have time to wait for you."
