Under the overwhelming might of the Netherworld White Tiger, the Imperial Team's Black Tortoise brothers and the Shadow Panther soul master, Oslo, were successively defeated. It seemed that the attack was about to reach Dugu Yan.
The Netherworld White Tiger didn't need any other qualities—its towering height of at least three to four meters alone was enough to make Dugu Yan pale with fear.
At this critical moment, a figure clad in sleek black attire stepped forward to shield Dugu Yan.
The disparity in size between the two sides was so immense that the audience fell into stunned silence.
The newcomer was none other than Yu Tianheng.
"Breaking through two layers of advanced defense and one layer of super defense from a soul fusion technique—it's already nearing its limits.
But that's to be expected. After all, it's only the combined strength of two Soul Elders."
Yu Tianheng spoke with an authoritative tone brimming with confidence. The next moment, dazzling blue lightning flashed.
Netherworld White Tiger—Shattered!
At this point, the only remaining combatants on the stage were Tang San and Yu Tianheng. As for Ma Hongjun, his sub-30-level soul power made him utterly useless and unable to intervene.
The only other person left was Dugu Yan, but her control-type soul skills relied heavily on poison, which wasn't effective against power-type soul masters.
After suffering a major setback, Yu Tianheng shed his earlier arrogance. Slowly removing his white gloves, he said:
"My apologies for underestimating you. To make amends, I will now demonstrate the true strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
Tang San's expression turned grim. As Yu Xiaogang's disciple, he naturally understood what the name "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon" signified. Behind him, the Eight Spider Legs began to twitch incessantly, lifting Tang San high into the air.
Gasps erupted from the audience as they saw what lay beneath Yu Tianheng's removed gloves—not a normal human hand, but a limb resembling that of a spirit beast.
This wasn't a soul master's True Form Armor; it was an actual spirit beast limb.
Many knowledgeable high-level soul masters in the audience narrowed their eyes in shock, recognizing this as the legendary Dragon Transformation technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan—a skill renowned throughout the Douluo continent.
Attack power increased by 100%, and lightning power doubled. This was the overwhelming enhancement effect of Dragon Transformation.
Though it couldn't match the two to threefold amplification of a True Body Technique, it was undoubtedly a game-changing ability among mid-to-high-level soul masters who hadn't yet mastered their True Body!
However, Ye Wen's eyes showed no admiration. Instead, he felt a tinge of pity for Yu Tianheng. If Tang San weren't here, this would have been a perfect protagonist template.
But there was something Ye Wen didn't understand about Yu Tianheng. Apparently, this young man had once borne the title of "useless," but somehow, under Yu Xiaogang's tutelage, he became a genius—a 20-year-old genius who hadn't even reached the Soul Ancestor level yet.
Speaking of which, how did Yu Xiaogang, a failure who didn't even possess the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, manage to train someone with such a prestigious martial soul? Could it really be because he read a lot of books passed down by his ancestors?
It didn't make sense no matter how Ye Wen thought about it. But soon, he set aside this question and focused instead on Dugu Yan, who was idly standing by.
After experiencing a smooth and unchallenging life, Yu Tianheng was being severely beaten for the first time—and in such a remote place, at the hands of a commoner. He simply couldn't swallow this humiliation, and at this moment, he harbored murderous intent.
"Thousand-Handed Asura, I won't give you a chance to surrender alive. Die!"
With a fierce shout, Yu Tianheng charged toward Tang San, wielding his lightning.
Tang San remained fearless. He activated his Ink Pupil ability to its maximum potential and used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps to dart rapidly through the dense streams of lightning, closing in on Yu Tianheng with incredible speed.
But even with his swift evasions, Tang San was still struck repeatedly by the relentless barrage. Yet, having endured countless hardships, Tang San ignored the paralyzing effects of the lightning strikes and continued charging furiously toward Yu Tianheng.
In the process, Tang San keenly spotted gaps between the lightning strikes and suddenly unleashed his third soul skill: Spider Web Restraint.
Yu Tianheng, in his heightened state, completely disregarded the seemingly weak Blue Silver Grass web. Surrounded by lightning, he unleashed a powerful burst, instantly shattering the restraints!
Tang San had anticipated this reaction and deliberately avoided letting the web stick to Yu Tianheng.
Now, the opportunity arose. With incredible speed, Tang San closed the distance to Yu Tianheng and launched a furious assault using the Eight Spider Legs.
Despite the heavy protection of his True Form Armor and dragonized skin, Yu Tianheng sustained minor injuries. Moreover, he had rushed into battle without fully recovering, so while fending off Tang San's attacks, he called out to Ye Lingling for support.
As longtime teammates, no words were necessary. Ye Lingling quickly applied buffs to Yu Tianheng.
Although the Nine-Heart Begonia only had one soul skill, its effects were comprehensive—it could heal wounds and neutralize poisons alike.
(A/N: In theory, it should be able to treat Dugu Bo, but soul masters' abilities are primarily determined by their cultivation levels. Dugu Bo, as a Title Douluo of the Tian Dou Empire, likely knew this limitation and thus refrained from seeking help from the Nine-Heart Begonia family, lest his weakness be exposed.)
At this moment, Tang San's Human-Faced Demon Spider venom proved ineffective.
Ultimate moves required time to charge, and the small bolts of lightning surrounding Yu Tianheng weren't causing significant harm to Tang San. Being suppressed like this, Yu Tianheng grew increasingly frustrated.
Entering the second phase of Dragon Transformation, jagged dragon spikes began to grow on Yu Tianheng's arms.
Seeing the situation turn dire, Ning Rongrong hurriedly enhanced Tang San with boosts to strength and speed.
Tang San's attacks became even more ferocious.
However, Yu Tianheng's dragonized arm continued to grow larger, eventually transforming into a massive shield-like gauntlet covered in sharp spines!
The sheer bulk of his dragonized form began to suppress Tang San's rapid assaults.
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan, who had been idling on the sidelines, looked uneasy and shouted loudly:
"Tianheng, stop! If you continue like this, you'll suffer backlash from your soul skill!"
But the pride of a genius and the arrogance of nobility had clouded Yu Tianheng's mind. Ignoring Dugu Yan's warning, he casually flung Tang San away.
Ye Wen knew the climax of the battle was approaching.
Yu Tianheng's dragon arm crackled with lightning as he charged toward Tang San. With a sudden halt, he delivered a powerful punch forward.
Self-Created Soul Skill—Dragon's Wrath!!!
A surge of lightning resembling an enraged dragon formed instantly, rushing straight toward Tang San.
The ground cracked under the force of the thunderous attack, which seemed capable of obliterating everything on the arena.
Realizing the situation was dire, Shrek's members—unable to intervene in the fight—quickly took to the skies, leaving Tang San to hold his ground alone.
