Having lost a team member, Yu Tianheng's expression turned somewhat grim.
This was the first time the Royal Battle Team had suffered such a major setback right at the very start of a fight.
That Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master had to be watched carefully, and the four members of the Blue Silver Team staying atop that strange ancient tree also needed to be on guard.
After a moment of consideration, Yu Tianheng quickly made a decision."First, deal with the three on the ground."
Yu Tianheng could not understand the tactics of Xiao Yan's four-man group. Since that was the case, he decided to first take down Ning Rongrong's trio on the ground.
"Third Soul Skill, Wind Rises and Clouds Surge!"
Facing crafty and elusive opponents, the Wind-Bell Bird Soul Master no longer held back. After flapping his wings and flying forward a short distance, the purple Soul Ring on his body flared with brilliant light.
As his wings vibrated violently, a layer of cyan, cloud-like soul power surged out explosively, rushing straight toward Ning Rongrong, the auxiliary-type Soul Master who possessed considerable combat capability.
The cyan soul power condensed in midair into a gigantic bird-shaped form, its speed instantly doubling.
Facing this swift attack, Ning Rongrong lightly stroked the glazed sword in her hand."Sword Two: Void!"
Sword qi tore through the air, slashing toward the cyan flying bird. The two energies collided, producing an incomparably powerful shockwave that rippled outward in all directions.
"Again with this strange attack? Is it a soul tool, or a self-created Soul Skill?"
Yu Tianheng came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and quickly formed two guesses. However, which one was correct, he could not yet determine.
Uncertain how many more attacks Ning Rongrong could unleash, and to ensure absolute safety, Yu Tianheng's second and third Soul Rings lit up one after another.
In an instant, the effect of the thousand-year Soul Skill Thunderous Fury manifested on Yu Tianheng's body.
A blinding burst of blue lightning erupted from him, and his aura surged sharply.
Thunderous Fury — Effect: For a certain period of time, Yu Tianheng enters a berserk state, increasing the power of lightning by one hundred percent.
Flicking a Blue Silver Recovery Pill to Ning Rongrong, Xiao Yan reminded her,"Be careful. This guy is different now."
After swallowing the Blue Silver Recovery Pill and rapidly restoring her soul power, Ning Rongrong guardedly looked toward Yu Tianheng, who now appeared almost like a man made of lightning. She could clearly tell that after activating his third Soul Skill, he had become much stronger.
Yu Tianheng swung his arm toward Ning Rongrong and roared,"Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Might!"
The countless snake-like lightning bolts coiling around his body simultaneously expanded. In the next moment, they transformed into innumerable lightning arrows, most of which shot toward Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran, while a small portion flew toward Xiao Yan's four-man group.
With Yu Tianheng, a Level 39 Soul Master, going all out—and with Thunderous Fury doubling his lightning power—his Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Might, erupted with incomparable offensive force.
With her soul power rapidly draining, Ning Rongrong wielded her sword to block the lightning, retreating while fighting.
Zhu Zhuqing stepped with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, evading swiftly. Her first Soul Ring flashed as she charged from the side toward Ye Lingling's position.
As long as they eliminated Ye Lingling, the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, the Royal Battle Team would lose its auxiliary healer. After that, once they were attacked, they would completely lose their combat capability.
Meng Yiran swung the Spirit Serpent Staff in her hands, forming a tight defensive barrier in front of herself.
It had to be said that Yu Tianheng's lightning attacks were terrifyingly powerful, far beyond what ordinary Soul Masters could withstand.
If she had not followed Xiao Yan onto a different cultivation path, she likely would not have been able to block this dispersed attack without using Soul Skills.
As Zhu Zhuqing launched her assault, Yu Tianheng followed the lightning and arrived in front of Meng Yiran. His first Soul Ring flashed as Thunderous Dragon Claw was suddenly unleashed. All of this had already been calculated in advance.
Facing this lightning-flashing, terrifying claw, Meng Yiran showed no fear. She stepped back once, thrust her snake staff forward, and released her third Spider Web Shot.
Spider Web Shot could be fired three times—she had only used it twice before.
At the moment the massive spider web appeared, it carried powerful propulsion force, forming a defensive net that blocked the Thunderous Dragon Claw.
Crackling lightning transmitted across the web. As lightning interacted with poison, a scorched, foul smell soon spread from the spider web.
Yu Tianheng slightly wrinkled his nose and looked at the web that had neutralized his Thunderous Dragon Claw and was still surging toward him."It didn't pierce through? What kind of Soul Beast produces such a tough Soul Skill?"
Although it was only his first Soul Skill, it was currently enhanced by Thunderous Fury, doubling its lightning power.
Channeling lightning through his dragon claws, Yu Tianheng tore apart the nearly charred spider web in just a few strikes.
At that moment, Meng Yiran emerged from behind the web, swinging her snake staff straight toward Yu Tianheng's head.
Under Xiao Yan's guidance during this period, the two of them had developed a set of Spirit Serpent Staff Techniques.
This staff technique took inspiration from the twisting movements of serpents. The angles of attack were unpredictable, and in an enemy's eyes, the snake staff seemed as lively and agile as a real serpent.
Yu Tianheng rapidly retreated a step, extending his lightning-flashing dragon-claw right arm to seize Meng Yiran's snake staff.
The greatest weakness of a weapon-type Soul Master was excessive reliance on their weapon. Once the weapon was restrained, their combat power would sharply decrease.
If facing an ordinary Soul Master, Meng Yiran would not only avoid this—she would even deliberately let them grab the snake staff.
After all, her snake staff carried deadly poison.
Unfortunately, today she was facing a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master. His arm had transformed into a dragon claw, complete with lightning effects, granting him extremely strong resistance to the poison on her snake staff.
The snake staff nimbly dodged Yu Tianheng's attack. Meng Yiran's Soul Ring flashed, and from the snake head at the tip of the staff, a two-foot-long tongue blade suddenly shot out.
The tongue blade gleamed with a deep blue sheen, clearly coated with lethal poison.
Yu Tianheng did not understand what was happening. Seeing the snake head open its mouth again, he thought it was about to release another troublesome spider web, and quickly retreated with caution.
Only after clearly seeing that it was a tongue blade did he realize his misjudgment.
Once the tongue blade appeared, Meng Yiran's assault grew even fiercer. Her snake staff stabbed viciously toward Yu Tianheng's face like a venomous serpent.
At this time, Ning Rongrong—having recovered some soul power—also caught up with Meng Yiran, and the two joined forces to attack Yu Tianheng.
Meng Yiran's staff techniques were agile, while Ning Rongrong's swordplay was erratic and unpredictable. Even with his absolute advantage in soul power, Yu Tianheng found it extremely troublesome to deal with them, forced into repeated evasions and a state of embarrassment.
Seated atop the Blue Silver Eternal Tree, Xiao Yan casually raised his hand and absorbed Yu Tianheng's probing attack into his palm.
Energy-form attacks—unless particularly strange—no longer posed any threat to him.
On the high platform, Qin Ming, who could clearly observe the entire Soul Arena, felt utterly incredulous. He knew Yu Tianheng's strength very well. Even when facing three or four Soul Masters around the Soul Elder level, he should never be this battered.
Yet now, under the combined assault of just two people, he appeared to be struggling greatly—something that would have been absolutely impossible in the past.
