Over the past two and a half years, Long Aotian has been overwhelmed by Qin Fang, gradually losing his confidence and arrogance.
Qin Fang gives people a deep sense of powerlessness. The more you chase after him, the more you feel his terror and his myth.
Qin Fang could easily break any record of the Body Sect, and the numbers were so high that they made people hesitate to try.
Every disciple of the Body Sect was filled with admiration for Qin Fang; no, it could even be described as fanaticism.
Even though Wei Na, once a prodigy, became Qin Fang's lover, these disciples shook their heads, their thoughts clearly stating: Wei Na is climbing too high.
Du Busi stared at Long Aotian and advised, "Ao Tian, among your peers, you are already invincible. Don't compete with Qin Fang; he is beyond your reach."
Long Aotian was taken aback, as if he had been enlightened. A relieved smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Supreme Sect Master, you are right."
Long Aotian appeared to be mocking himself, but he was actually more relaxed than anyone else. As if a huge boulder had been lifted from his shoulders, he stepped onto the arena first with a smile on his face.
Long Aotian no longer exuded such a powerful aura, but with each step he took, he seemed to merge with the entire arena and the entire space. This was the state of oneness with nature.
Du Busi was also slightly shocked. This kid truly lived up to his reputation as the number one genius of the Body Sect.
Long Aotian stood quietly, like a statue, waiting for his opponent.
A thunderous cheer erupted from the audience. The Soul Saint was the first to appear!
When the Sky Dragon Gate members saw that the first person to appear from the Body Sect was indeed Long Aotian, they immediately understood what was going on. Yu Tianlong, who was tall and nearly two meters tall and was also a Soul Saint, stood up, and an extremely powerful aura burst out from his body.
Pale blue lightning swirled around him, and a faint dragon's might emanated from his body, making him appear like a thunder god who controlled lightning.
Long Aotian and Yu Tianlong are two extreme contrasts: one is as calm as water, and the other is as explosive as fire.
Yu Tianlong stepped onto the arena step by step, the seven Soul Ring beneath his feet lighting up and flashing. The oppressive aura he exuded was immense, and once he stood still, his aura was amplified to its peak.
However, his eyes narrowed, and he felt that the air in the entire arena was filled with killing intent, as if the air itself was exerting extreme pressure on him. He looked at Long Aotian in shock.
This person is no ordinary individual.
"Holy crap, this is a battle between two Soul Saints!"
"This year's competition is incredibly prestigious, with so many Soul Saint participating."
"This is the fifth Soul Saint to appear in this great battle."
"Phew, I wonder what kind of sparks they'll create."
"Let's wait and see."
Bei Bei exclaimed in horror, "Ah, this is the pure aura of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
The referee, Zheng Zhan, Titled Douluo, also felt Sisi pressure and said, "The match begins."
Long Aotian raised his right arm high, his palm like a knife. In an instant, his entire arm and body turned jade-colored. Behind him, a twisted long knife made of compressed air faintly shone and slashed.
This was Self-Created Soul Skill that embodied the unity of heaven and man, giving Yu Tianlong an intense sense of sharpness, as if it were about to tear him apart.
Streaks of blue lightning emanated from Yu Tianlong's body, and blue-purple scales quietly appeared. His body also grew larger as he moved forward, seemingly increasing in height with each step.
As he crossed the center of the arena, he had grown to a height of 2.5 meters, with shoulders exceeding 1.5 meters in width. His terrifyingly powerful arms were covered in thick, heavy scales. Cracks of blue-purple lightning swirled around him, making him appear almost like a humanoid monster. Even his eyes had turned blue-purple.
Long Aotian had been preparing for this moment, and his Self-Created Soul Skill, which combined heaven and man, slashed down. Crack! It cleaved through the lightning surrounding his body, and sparks flew from his blue-purple dragon scales, causing the scales to crack slightly.
Yu Tianlong was very surprised. Ah, how could this attack be so strong?
Long Aotian's second sword materialized and slashed down. A terrifying pressure from the Heaven-Earth Turn descended. This was the strongest attack from the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.
Yu Tianlong's Fourth Soul Ring lit up, and his arms transformed into dragon claws. With each slash, the claws exploded and disappeared from the sword.
Yu Tianlong felt his blood surging, but he forcefully suppressed it. At the same time, a bolt of lightning from the sky descended upon Long Aotian's head.
Long Aotian's jade-colored skin successfully withstood the attack, though his breathing became slightly disordered.
Both of them were testing the waters.
Long Aotian stopped hiding his intentions and said, "Yu Tianlong, how about a battle between us at our peak?"
Yu Tianlong had the same idea and said, "Alright."
In the blink of an eye, both of them unleashed their Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar. A terrifying pressure emanated from their bodies, and even Zheng Zhan Titled Douluo, couldn't help but take two steps back.
Yu Tianlong transformed into a pure-blooded Thunder Tyrant Dragon, standing five zhang tall with seven Soul Ring Entanglement. With each roar, the sound waves rolled, as if the entire arena was trembling.
Long Aotian's size was also increased to ten meters, his body was jade-colored, and his aura was even stronger. When he stomped his feet, it seemed as if the entire arena was about to collapse.
Long Aotian and Yu Tianlong engaged in a brutal close-quarters combat.
In the blink of an eye, both of them were covered in wounds and bleeding profusely.
Long Aotian did not use any Soul Tool or Soul Spirit power, giving Yu Tianlong an absolutely fair match.
Yu Tianlong seized the opportunity when Long Aotian turned around, stomped him to the ground, and lightning condensed in his huge dragon mouth. With a whoosh, like an atomic breath, it slammed into Long Aotian's head.
Long Aotian was terrified. A silver-white phantom materialized behind him, almost identical to his own. This was the Martial Soul Second Awakening, the two merging into one.
Faced with this attack, Long Aotian's face was merely charred black, nothing more.
Long Aotian felt a lingering fear in his heart. He transformed his hands into giant axes and struck Yu Tianlong's tail with a thud. With this strike, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's tail was chopped off by Long Aotian.
The battle between the two sides intensified.
After an incense stick had burned, the entire arena was in ruins, with almost no place to stand. Both sides were on the verge of death, slumped on the arena, seemingly unable to fight any longer.
Long Aotian stood up shakily, his true form transforming into a giant claw, intending to end this battle.
Unexpectedly, Yu Tianlong suddenly activated Invincible Shield, blocking Long Aotian's giant axe strike. He wanted to win! So, his Sixth Soul Ring flashed, and lightning descended from the sky, attempting to defeat Long Aotian.
Upon seeing that Yu Tianlong was using Soul Tool, Long Aotian stopped hiding it. He activated his Invincible Shield, and the level seven Soul Tool hidden beneath his skin burst forth.
A dazzling red ray transformed into the only light in the world, its fierce intensity threatening to shatter Yu Tianlong's head.
Yu Tianlong sighed and said, "I admit defeat."
At this moment, the referee intervened and blocked the attack for Yu Tianlong, saying, "The outcome of the first Elimination Tournament round is already decided."
Long Aotian looked at Du Busi: Heh, Body Sect, invincible among those of the same level.
Now, apart from the teams from the Body Sect and Mingde Hall, the other six teams were all shocked. Ah, wasn't the Body Sect supposed to hate Soul Tool the most? How could this be? Who would have thought that this big oaf from the Body Sect was actually a level seven Soul Engineer? Seeking Everything, second update.
Thank you for reading, everyone.
Let's strive for the real climax against the Tang Sect tomorrow!
