Chapter 21 - Duel? More Like a One-Sided Beatdown

Yu Tianming's martial soul already gave him top-tier physical toughness, and now with the absorption of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Delicate Apricot, his durability was downright terrifying.

He didn't bother with any fancy strategies like circling behind or feinting. Instead, he shouted, "Wind and Lightning Blessing!"

Golden lightning instantly coursed across his body, while green astral wind surged around him, propelling him forward at double his original speed.

At just nine years old, Yu Tianming already stood at 1.75 meters. With his martial soul activated, his muscles bulged like steel cables, and his height shot up to a staggering two meters.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Ah Zhi. At such speed, his sheer size alone was like a dump truck charging at 180 km/h—completely unstoppable.

Yu Tianming was fast, but not as fast as Ah Zhu's short-distance displacement. This moment, right here, was his most vulnerable—when dodging an attack would be the hardest.

Ah Zhu naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by. She activated her second soul skill and soul bone skill: Soul-Corroding Demonic Flame and Undying Crimson Blaze, then let out a low cry: "Flame Spirit Flash!"

She transformed into a deep crimson fireball and blasted straight at him.

Yu Tianming sensed the incoming attack, but didn't dodge. He let the flames hit him squarely, and Ah Zhu's form reappeared behind him, flames still burning where they had touched.

Under the effect of her soul skill, the flames continued to blaze.

If it had been a regular Soul Master, being engulfed in flames like that would have reduced them to ash in mere moments.

But Yu Tianming, with his Refined Body through Fire and Ice, completely ignored the fire damage. What he couldn't ignore, though, was the spiritual damage from Ah Zhu's second soul skill—it made him roar in pain.

Luckily, the Soul-Corroding Demonic Flame didn't deal instant damage. It would take nearly half an incense stick's time to incapacitate him.

By then, Yu Tianming had already reached Ah Zhi.

Her first soul skill gave a 30% speed boost, but Yu Tianming's base speed far exceeded hers, and his acceleration reached 100%.

Do the math, and the gap between them was just too huge—Ah Zhi couldn't even react in time.

The twin dragon heads resting on Yu Tianming's shoulders shot out and bit into Ah Zhi, wrapping around her and lifting her off the ground.

With the impact and bite force combined, the beast-head pauldrons of her armor were instantly shattered.

To Ah Zhi, grabbing her like that meant Yu Tianming had also walked right into her trap.

While the dragon heads held her tightly, she didn't hesitate. She released the high-voltage electricity from her martial soul, combined with her first and second soul skills.

Yu Tianming's whole body was charred and sizzling, a meaty aroma drifting into the air.

Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen immediately stood up—not out of concern, but pure astonishment at the strength of Ah Zhi's attack.

As a Lightning Douluo himself, he knew full well that the voltage of this attack was at the level of a fourth soul ring. While it wasn't a Soul Fusion Ring, the power might as well have been.

Any regular soul master would've died instantly. Even a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul user—despite their incredible lightning resistance—would've been knocked out cold.

But Yu Tianming was different. His martial soul had extremely high lightning resistance and could even absorb electrical energy.

Though his skin was burned, most of the electricity had been absorbed into his body. Now his whole body was glowing with golden light.

He burst out laughing and used his two tails, like coiling morning glory vines, to twirl up the now-weakened Ah Zhi.

Yet Ah Zhu's soul bone flame skill continued burning on his body. Bathed in fire, he looked like a demonic dragon rising from the depths of hell.

He turned to look at the stunned Ah Zhu nearby and spread his massive wings.

Ma Hongjun's wings grew from his arms, only about two meters across, flapping like a fat chicken. Liu Erlong had an extra wing compared to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but her flight ability was mediocre, making even an owl a better candidate for "Winged Combatant."

Yu Tianming's wings were different: enormous, growing from his scapulae down to his lower back. When spread, they looked like a demon god descending—immensely intimidating.

Now, the golden lightning on his body gathered on his wings and exploded outward in a hemispherical lightning storm, engulfing the entire arena.

Ah Zhu saw him move and quickly activated her first soul skill, transforming into flames to dodge to the side—but the golden lightning had already covered the whole ring. Where could she even run?

As the lightning passed, Ah Zhu returned to human form, convulsing on the ground.

With her unconscious, the flames on Yu Tianming's body finally extinguished.

The fire had only burned for under ten seconds, but the spiritual damage was enough to leave him lightheaded.

Fortunately, the burn duration was short—he'd recover after a nap. Had it lasted longer, it might've taken months to heal the spiritual wounds.

Ah Zhi, wrapped in his tail, had already collapsed from soul power exhaustion. Seeing Ah Zhu down, she canceled her Blue Crystal Armor and said simply, "We concede."

Seeing this, Yu Tianming carried the limp Ah Zhi in one arm and the unconscious Ah Zhu in the other as he stepped down from the arena.

For those who have girlfriends, you know—women's bodies are much softer than men's. Ah Zhi's Thunder Eel martial soul was a fatty, scaleless, ultra-soft fish.

Yu Tianming could clearly feel it now—Ah Zhi on the left was soft as boneless eel, while Ah Zhu on the right, like a fire serpent, was warm and smooth. It really showed how much one's martial soul influenced their body.

Now that he had absorbed immortal herbs, fighting them wasn't even a contest—it was pure power overwhelming.

Seeing him defeat both girls within seconds, even Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh, "As expected from one of the Upper Three Clans—such talent! The young sect master is incredibly strong."

Off-stage, Liu Erlong asked with some uncertainty, "Was that spherical lightning shockwave your self-created soul skill?"

Yu Tianming replied, "That wasn't a soul skill. I just released all the electricity stored in myself and Ah Zhi at once."

Yu Yuanzhen smiled in relief. "Looks like our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has gained two more pillars of strength."

Though the girls lost quickly, as a Title Douluo, he could still tell they were top-tier talents among their peers.

Ah Zhu's first soul skill could evade most standard attacks—like Tang San's Blue Silver Grass entangle or cage, even his hammer strikes.

Combined with her two soul skills and soul bone technique, she could easily coat her enemies in soul-burning fire that dealt lasting spiritual damage.

Ah Zhi had built-in charge storage from her martial soul, plus the charge from her first and second soul skills—three layers of electrical amplification.

Although her attack range was short and could only be used once at full power, her instant burst damage had far surpassed her level.
