Chapter 10 The Duel (Part 1)
When the two entered the training ground, there were already several figures standing there—Yu Tianyun's parents, Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian and Yu Tianxin who had rushed over upon hearing the news, and another protagonist of the day—Yu Tianheng.
"Tianyun, I heard you're going to fight Yu Tianheng? You just broke through to Great Soul Master and you're already going to fight a Soul Venerable? Soul Venerables possess thousand-year soul rings; I've never heard of a Great Soul Master fighting a Soul Venerable!"
Upon arrival, Yu Tianxin couldn't wait to send out a series of greetings.
Yu Tianxin didn't know that he had absorbed a thousand-year soul ring yesterday. She thought he was just an ordinary Great Soul Master, so she didn't think highly of him, even if Yu Tianheng didn't use his third soul ring.
"Brother Tianxin, you're right. Ordinary Great Soul Masters aren't qualified to fight against Soul Venerables, but..." Yu Tianyun paused, then said slowly and confidently, "I'm not an ordinary Great Soul Master!"
After saying that, Yu Tianyun unleashed a large amount of blue torrents from his body, which gathered into a lightning bolt symbol on his forehead.
Two spirit rings then appeared, encircling his body, one deep yellow and the other bright purple.
"A thousand-year-old spirit ring? And that yellow spirit ring looks strange too!"
When Yu Tianxin saw Yu Tianyun's extraordinary soul ring ratio, she was so shocked that she could hardly speak.
Even Yu Luomian, standing to the side, revealed surprise in her eyes, though she didn't show it on her face.
They only knew that Yu Tianyun had innate full soul power and an abnormally fast cultivation speed, but they did not know that Yu Tianyun's soul ring ratio was also abnormal.
Shocked, Yu Luomian's gaze towards her elder brother softened, thinking, "So my brother values me this much, allowing us, grandfather and grandson, to witness Tianyun's terrifying talent."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he instructed Yu Tianxin that she must not reveal Yu Tianyun's secret. Yu Tianyun was the hope to lead the family to new heights, and no accidental death was allowed.
Before Yu Tianyun has grown up, all true information about him must not be leaked. If it is leaked, he may face constant assassination attempts by the Spirit Hall in the future.
Yu Tianheng also stepped into the center of the martial arts arena, his martial spirit manifesting, three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—floating around his body.
Yu Tianheng had a piercing gaze, his medium-length hair flowing down his back, straight and smooth. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, and his muscles were bulging, making his light blue outfit look tight.
"Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Level 31 Battle Soul Venerable, please enlighten me." Yu Tianheng announced his Martial Soul and level, signifying his formal challenge.
Although he really wanted to complain about the boring battle etiquette in Douluo Continent, Yu Tianyun also quickly announced his martial soul and level:
"Yu Tianyun, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Level 23 Battle Soul Master, please give me your guidance."
"Tianyun is already level 23? If I remember correctly, he's only just over eight years old!" At this moment, Yu Tianxin was shocked again. He had lost count of how many times he had been shocked today. Compared to Yu Tianyun, he felt like he had wasted his cultivation time.
He understood why Yu Tianheng wanted to spar with Yu Tianyun. If he didn't suppress Yu Tianyun now, he wouldn't have another chance. He believed that in a few years, Yu Tianyun would surpass the two of them.
At this moment, the two people in the arena are looking at each other, searching for each other's weaknesses and gathering their strength.
Before long, the two moved together, but neither released their soul skills, preparing to test each other by first possessing their martial souls.
Yu Tianheng suddenly raised his right fist, and with a forward lunge, quickly approached Yu Tianyun.
Yu Tianyun's movements were simple: he spread his five fingers into a claw shape with his left hand, circled his left arm from the outside inward, raised his right arm behind him and clenched his fist to gather strength, spread his legs apart, bent his knees, and suddenly exerted force with both feet, rushing towards Yu Tianheng like a gust of wind.
The two men's movements were simple, without any frills or unnecessary actions. As they approached each other, their speed and power had already reached their peak, indicating that both of them had relatively good practical combat experience.
A muffled thud echoed from the center of the field.
Yu Tianyun's fist slammed into Yu Tianheng's chest, causing Yu Tianheng to stumble back five steps uncontrollably.
Yu Tianyun gained a slight advantage in the first exchange, but his left hand felt slightly numb and trembled involuntarily.
Just moments before their clash, Yu Tianyun subtly shifted his body to the right, catching Yu Tianheng's incoming fist with his left hand, and then striking Yu Tianheng's chest with his right fist. Clearly, Yu Tianheng's powerful punch was not so easy to catch.
In their first encounter, Yu Tianyun gained a slight advantage. He then seized the opportunity and immediately followed up with a continuous barrage of punches, leaving Yu Tianheng no chance to breathe.
Just as Yu Tianheng regained his footing, Yu Tianyun was already in front of him. He hurriedly raised his arms to defend himself, protecting his head and other vital organs.
In just one second, Yu Tianheng felt as if he had been punched more than a dozen times, forced to retreat by the storm of punches, and was about to reach the edge of the arena.
Yu Tianheng suddenly lowered his body, extended his right leg, and swept it forward using his left toes as a pivot.
When Yu Tianyun was suppressing Yu Tianheng with a barrage of punches, he had already noticed Yu Tianheng's movements. He immediately leaped into the air to dodge Yu Tianheng's sweeping leg, and as soon as he landed, he was about to rush forward again.
Seizing this rare moment of respite, Yu Tianheng instantly activated his second soul ring—Thunderous Might. A bright blue light shone from his entire body, and a large amount of lightning surged in front of him, forming a dense net of lightning arrows that covered his front, blocking all of Yu Tianyun's attack routes.
Yu Tianyun saw a dense barrage of lightning bolts ahead, with nowhere to dodge.
Instead of retreating, they advanced, as if what they saw before them were not lightning bolts or arrows, but ordinary raindrops.
Just as the lightning arrow was about to strike Yu Tianyun, his second spirit ring flashed.
With his left hand, he unleashed a thunderous dragon claw strike, instantly tearing through the rain of arrows in front of him. His right hand, clenched into a fist, concealed at his side as he approached Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng was slightly surprised to see his second soul skill being broken in an instant, but he didn't have much time to think about it.
The opponent's Thunder Dragon Claw flew towards him with undiminished momentum, its right fist also crackling with blue-purple lightning as it charged towards him, clearly a powerful attack as well.
Seeing the imposing and fierce Yu Tianyun, Yu Tianheng, in a moment of desperation, used both his third and first soul skills at the same time. Later, in order to prevent injury, he even used the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique.
Two loud booms rang out, and both of them stumbled back five or six steps before regaining their footing. Seeing that Yu Tianheng was forced to use his Dragon Transformation and his third soul skill to amplify his Thunder Dragon Claw, Yu Tianyun hurriedly used his first soul skill to amplify himself as well.
Even so, he was still slightly inferior to Yu Tianheng when he was at full power, after all, he was the attacker and Yu Tianheng was the defender.
His right hand was throbbing with pain; the attack felt as if his right fist had slammed into a city wall made of bronze and iron.
However, at this moment, Yu Tianyun's eyes were shining brightly, as if he were a beast that had spotted a tender and delicious little rabbit.
He no longer cared whether Yu Tianheng had violated regulations by activating his third spirit ring and transforming into a dragon.
The restricted Yu Tianheng gave him the feeling of being utterly vulnerable and easily suppressed.
Only Yu Tianheng at full power can put pressure on him.
His body began to tremble slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It wasn't out of fear, but rather an uncontrollable tremor of excitement.
Yu Tianheng's initial strength ignited his fighting spirit, and now he only wanted to have a fair and square all-out battle with Yu Tianheng.
Although Yu Tianheng was not injured, he was in a sorry state. His shirt was tattered with several large holes, and his hair was also electrified, causing wisps of blue smoke to rise from it.
Clearly, Yu Tianyun's Thunder Dragon Claw, which had a tearing effect, was not easy to block. He blocked most of the damage with the amplification of his dragon transformation and third soul skill, but some lightning still escaped onto his body. Although it did not cause any damage, it made him look very disheveled.
At this moment, Yu Tianyun rushed over again, his two spirit rings shining brightly, and shouted, "Come again, let me see your full strength."
Without giving it much thought, Yu Tianheng maintained his dragon transformation and third soul skill, lit up his first soul ring once more, and went to meet the enemy.
