It was the fourteenth day of the advancement tournament.
Most of the matches in the tournament had already been completed. In every match so far, the Emperor Battle Team never had to send out more than two members. Tianheng, just like Tianlin before him, even achieved a one-against-seven victory.
Facing such a formidable Emperor Battle, in the final few days, teams like New Godwind, Shrek, and Skywater all made the same choice: to avoid battle.
Not only could they not win in a one-on-one fight, but if they lost and got injured or exhausted too much soul power, it would also affect their subsequent matches. Thus, the Emperor Battle Team advanced smoothly to the final showdown.
Today, however, their opponents did not avoid the fight. First, because it was the last round of the advancement tournament; second, because the opposing captain had a reason he could not avoid.
"Cousin!" Yu Tianheng looked at his older brother across from him, feeling a bit sentimental.
He and his brother had been rivals since childhood. Of course, it wasn't a life-and-death struggle like the Dai brothers, but a healthy competition that drove them both forward.
The next head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would undoubtedly be chosen from the two of them. Originally, it might have taken a long time to determine the winner, but with Tianlin's appearance, everything changed.
After taking the immortal herb, Tianheng's talent far surpassed Yu Tianxin's. No matter how hard Yu Tianxin trained, he could no longer catch up. Watching his younger brother pull further and further ahead, Yu Tianxin felt both joy and a sense of unwillingness.
"Teacher, can I take this match? My cousin and I should have a battle. We've both waited a long time for this," Tianheng pleaded, looking at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming nodded. "Go ahead, Tianheng. I believe you are the strongest Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
"Of course," Yu Tianheng smiled knowingly and strode onto the battle stage.
At this moment, Thunderclap Academy also sent out Yu Tianxin. These two brothers knew each other too well; they both guessed that, when their teams met, the other would surely choose to go up first.
In this way, they could both face each other at their peak and have a fair fight.
"I didn't expect the Emperor Battle Team and the Thunderclap Academy Team to send out their captains right away. This is an internal battle of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Twin dragons meet—who will prevail? Let's wait and see," the commentator said passionately.
"Yu Tianheng, level 49 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor!"
"Yu Tianxin, level 45 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor."
Both performed Martial Soul Possession, ready for battle. Stimulated by Tianheng, Yu Tianxin was even stronger than in the original story, now at level 45 instead of level 43, clearly the result of arduous training.
"Tianheng, let's settle this in one match, just you and me," Yu Tianxin said. This was something he had long decided. Only by having Tianheng bear the hopes of his team would he give his all. That was a captain's responsibility.
Tianheng turned to glance at his teammates. Led by Tianlin, they all nodded to him. If Thunderclap Academy could entrust everything to Yu Tianxin, couldn't Emperor Battle do the same?
Seeing this, Tianheng smiled slightly and turned back, "Alright, let's do it, brother. Dragon Transformation!"
"As it should be. Dragon Transformation!" Yu Tianxin also smiled with satisfaction.
Both completed their dragon transformation at the same time. They took this match extremely seriously and had no intention of holding back.
However, their dragon transformation parts differed: Tianheng's were both hands and feet, while Yu Tianxin's were both hands and the right dragon wing.
The battle finally began. Yu Tianxin shouted fiercely, leaping into the air. Thanks to his dragon wing, his jumping and air-staying abilities far surpassed Tianheng's, so his diving attack from above was his strongest battle tactic.
Both were Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons—true power attackers. Their blood ran with aggression; offense was the best defense, so Tianheng did not retreat.
Blue Lightning Dragon Claws exploded simultaneously, forcibly blocking Yu Tianxin's attack. Even with the force of his descent, Yu Tianxin couldn't gain any advantage over Tianheng, all due to the four-level difference in rank.
"Hah!" With a forceful swing of both arms, Tianheng pushed Yu Tianxin away.
Yu Tianxin spread his dragon wing in midair, stabilizing himself. "Thunderfall!"
A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking Tianheng.
"First Soul Skill—Thunder Dragon Claw!" Tianheng used his first soul skill, tearing the lightning apart.
"Thunderclap!"
A raging thunderstorm swept over Yu Tianxin. He swung his arms, creating a shield in front of him. "Light Guard."
After this strike, nearly half of the hundred-meter-diameter arena was scorched black, but Yu Tianxin remained unscathed under his shield.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Charge!"
Both activated their fourth soul skill at the same time. Though their first three skills differed somewhat, their fourth was the same.
Two giant blue electric dragons tangled together, finally dissipating after a direct clash. Both were shaken back by the tremendous force.
After several successive clashes, the two sides were evenly matched.
However, with deeper soul power, Yu Tianheng appeared much more composed.
Yu Tianxin panted. "At this rate, I'll be exhausted before Tianheng. I have to end this with one move."
Having made up his mind, Yu Tianxin soared up, "Dragon Wing Dragon Transformation Technique—Dragon's Fury!"
"That's cousin's Dragon's Fury! It can double his attack and thunder power but consumes a lot of energy. Looks like he's preparing his final move." Tianheng didn't dare be careless, his purple soul ring lighting up. "Third Soul Skill—Thunder's Wrath!"
His third skill was also a strengthening skill, doubling attack and increasing soul power by 50%, but it put the user in a berserk state and consumed stamina extremely quickly.
Tianheng was also preparing to settle things with the next strike.
Yu Tianxin looked down at Tianheng and said seriously, "Tianheng, this is my ultimate final move. Don't take it lightly!"
"The wind rises, rain falls, clouds cover the sun; the dragon soars in the nine heavens—Yu Tian Thunder!"
With each word Yu Tianxin uttered, his aura grew stronger. Endless lightning gathered around him. The next attack would be terrifying.
"This power… It's probably stronger than all thirty-six slashes of my Gale Demon Wolf combined. I didn't expect Yu Tianxin to be hiding such a big move," Feng Xiaotian frowned.
He had always been the strongest of the younger generation in the Five Element Academies, but seeing Yu Tianxin's performance today, he wasn't sure he could win—unless he defeated Yu Tianxin before he could use this move.
"Cousin, is this the gift you prepared for me? In that case, I must give you an equally impressive return gift!" Tianheng's eyes sparkled with lightning as he too began to gather his overwhelming power. He had also saved a killer move.
