Chapter 189: Yu Luomian Viciously Beats Flender and Liu Erlong
"On what grounds?! Blue Tyrant Academy is mine!"
Liu Erlong shouted angrily. She hadn't actually been injured; her cultivation had reached rank 76, and Yu Luomian was also a Contra, but he hadn't activated his martial spirit with that slap.
Yu Luomian said coldly, "On what grounds? On the grounds that I'm your father! That I'm the one who paid to build Blue Tyrant Academy!"
"You two disgraceful things—your business is now known throughout the entire soul master world! Because of you, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation has taken a massive hit!"
Hearing that, Yu Xiaogang's head began spinning again, and his chest twinged in pain. If even his affair with Liu Erlong was known by the entire soul master world, then he'd never be able to rebuild his name—his reputation was utterly ruined.
Clutching his chest, Yu Xiaogang asked, "Second Uncle, is that true?"
Yu Luomian, enraged, let out a bark of laughter. "Is it true? Not only is it true, but now the entire Clear Sky Clan is clamoring for compensation from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan over how you destroyed Tang Hao's son. You've thoroughly dragged our clan's name through the mud!"
Pffft!
Yu Xiaogang coughed up a mouthful of blood, his heart emptying as he collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness. In that moment, the dark hair at his temples whitened at an alarming rate. The final thought in his mind was that his reputation was destroyed—completely gone. Without that, what meaning did living hold?
"Xiaogang!!"
Yu Luomian saw Yu Xiaogang spit blood and collapse. He didn't even let his gaze linger on Yu Xiaogang for a single second, instead pointing at Liu Erlong and saying, "You—come back with me to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan right now. You're never to leave again. Stay in the clan and cultivate, guarding our sect!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang spit blood and fall, Liu Erlong felt a stab of heartache so strong it nearly overwhelmed her. Then, hearing Yu Luomian's words, her rage reached its limit. Two yellow, two purple, three black—seven soul rings—shone beneath her feet, her entire body igniting with blue flames. Under martial spirit possession, she turned into a blue fiery dragon.
"You aren't my father. You have no right to take my Blue Tyrant Academy! And I absolutely won't go back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with you. Don't even dream of controlling me! Wherever Xiaogang is, that's where I'll stay!"
With that, Liu Erlong spat a mouthful of blazing blue flame at Yu Luomian.
"You dare attack your old man? You're truly out of line!"
Underfoot, Yu Luomian lit two yellow, two purple, and four black soul rings—eight total. His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit emerged, taking the shape of a dragon much like Liu Erlong's but larger by a size, its body coursing not with flame but purple-black lightning.
Lightning and fire clashed throughout the forest. The three teachers from Blue Tyrant Academy immediately retreated from the area, while Flender hurried off with Yu Xiaogang in tow. Yu Xiaogang was just a rank-29 Grandmaster who had fainted—if he got caught in the crossfire of this soul power and fire, his life would be over in an instant.
Flender moved Yu Xiaogang to one of the Academy's buildings, well away from Yu Luomian and Liu Erlong, then returned to find two blue dragons fighting in midair. Liu Erlong was already at a disadvantage. Beneath her feet, two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings also shone, her arms morphing into wings, her legs into talons, turning her into a kind of owl.
At Flender's level, they could freely control both their martial spirit and soul power, so they didn't necessarily destroy their clothes upon transformation. Of course, if someone with a fire attribute slipped up in controlling that power during battle, there might be nothing to prevent their clothes from burning.
"Erlong, I'm with you!"
With a flap of his wings, Flender joined the battle, unwilling to let his goddess be dragged back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and lose her freedom.
Liu Erlong's eyes lit up. "Boss Flend!"
"Uncle, why must you oppose Xiaogang and Erlong? Is the world's opinion really that important?"
Yu Luomian, hearing Flender's question, roared, "Out of my sight! This has nothing to do with you!"
Yes, was the world's opinion that important if Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong wanted to be together? From the clan's perspective, they had more pressing considerations. The only ones who risked tangible loss were, in fact, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Then pardon me!"
Because Yu Luomian, Flender, and Liu Erlong had relocated the battlefield to the air, they caused minimal damage to Heaven Dou City itself. Still, the clash of a Soul Douluo against two Soul Sages could hardly go unnoticed; countless within Heaven Dou City sensed it. Lower-ranked soul masters looked on in shock, while the one who'd set it all in motion, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, was snickering quietly.
Bone Douluo, playing the mediator, brought Gu Chen along "to stop the fight." In reality, it was a chance for Gu Chen to observe Soul Sage and Soul Douluo in combat, a rarity. He and Sword Douluo often sparred, but that was just a friendly match.
Yue Xuan, fifth floor—Tang Yuehua's private space.
It was a vast hall, arranged far more elegantly than the fourth floor. Everything was made of agarwood, imbuing the entire level with a light fragrance.
All around the hall were four doors, leading who knew where. The place radiated a soothing, serene, quiet, and refined air—unpretentious yet calming in its subtle woodsy aroma.
Behind one of the doors, Tang Yuehua stood braced against it, body arched like a bow. Her face was flushed, her eyes misty; her parted red lips exhaled heated gasps along with strange sounds. Her whole body glistened with sweat, her azure hair clinging to her tender skin.
Mid-act, Qian Xunji suddenly sensed a surge of soul power erupting in Heaven Dou City. Activating his "Double Aperture, Two As One" skill, he spread out his spiritual sense.
Heaven Dou City was massive, easily ten times the size of Spirit City, with the royal palace alone occupying a quarter of that. Even as a Limit Douluo, Qian Xunji couldn't fully blanket the city with his spiritual power, but concentrating it on one side, he still saw the battle raging above Blue Tyrant Academy. A smirk touched his mouth as he watched this "father-daughter piety," so to speak.
Of course, Qian Xunji didn't halt his own "actions." Doubling up on both tasks only compounded his pleasure. The only person who suffered for it was Tang Yuehua, since Qian Xunji, dividing part of his mind elsewhere, ended up extending the already long process. Who knew if her body could handle it.
"True Cat-Hawk Form!"
"True Crimson Dragon Form!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Spirit Avatar—Dragon Transformation!"
Watching Liu Erlong and Flender ignite their seventh rings, going all-out, Yu Luomian likewise unleashed his full strength, fully transforming into a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Its surrounding lightning mostly turned black.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Cat-Hawk Soaring Wings!"
Flender triggered his fifth ring, his winged arms doubling in size and turning golden. Under that glow, a volley of equally golden feathers shot out, dense and swift, colliding with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's scales and sending sparks flying.
But once Yu Luomian had activated his Martial Spirit Avatar and "Dragon Transformation," his strength soared dramatically in every aspect. Flender's fifth soul skill couldn't wound him, and he charged straight through the feather barrage. His dragon claws clenched into fists, swirling with black lightning, and he punched Flender full in the face.
Boom!
Glass shards sprayed everywhere, the frames of Flender's farsighted glasses blasted apart by Yu Luomian's blow. His face was scorched black by lightning, and he was sent hurtling backward at high speed.
Unlike with Liu Erlong, Yu Luomian showed Flender no mercy—he only refrained from killing him outright.
