There was no need for the host to introduce them at length.
Both Yu Tianheng and Jian Jiu were well-known figures in the Heaven Dou Imperial City's Great Spirit Arena.
Before Jian Jiu,
Yu Tianheng was the record holder for the fastest promotion to a silver badge.
He possessed the top-tier beast Spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and was also the heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, as well as the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Team.
He had too many halos above his head!
So many that he overshadowed the younger generation of Heaven Dou Imperial City!
However, at this moment, Jian Jiu's reputation was by no means inferior.
He used only one sword in each battle, achieving twenty-one consecutive victories and the fastest promotion to a silver badge.
His reputation was forged by each sword strike.
Watching the two walk onto the stage,
the audience screamed themselves hoarse, cheering for their idols.
"Jian Jiu! Kill Yu Tianheng for me!"
"Yu Tianheng! Break Jian Jiu's sword for me!"
"One sword! Still one sword! Against Yu Tianheng, Jian Jiu will still only use one sword!"
"A Level 39 Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit! I don't know how Yu Tianheng could possibly lose!"
"Hey, you in front, what are you yelling about? Jian Jiu is invincible!"
"Who are you talking to? Do you want to have a Soul Arena match with me?!"
Before the Soul Arena match on stage even began,
the audience below had already started fighting.
Li Dixian's gaze swept over them, finding it quite interesting.
"Jian Jiu, is it not good to be distracted at this moment?"
At this, Yu Tianheng spoke coldly, feeling that Jian Jiu was being disrespectful.
Li Dixian retracted his gaze, deliberately lowering his voice.
"One sword."
"Hm?"
Yu Tianheng frowned.
"What did you say?"
"I will still only use one sword."
Yu Tianheng narrowed his eyes, staring at the white-robed figure a few meters away, and slowly said,
"Jian Jiu, you are underestimating me."
It wasn't just Yu Tianheng.
When the audience below heard Li Dixian's words,
aside from his supporters going wild, those who liked Yu Tianheng scoffed and cursed.
In the VIP box on the second floor,
Yufeng clenched his fists.
"This person is too arrogant!"
Ao Si Luo frowned.
He also felt that this Jian Jiu was overly arrogant.
The Shi Brothers, like black bears, slowly shook their heads.
Clearly, they likewise did not believe that Jian Jiu could defeat their captain with one sword.
Ye Lingling said nothing, her blue eyes fixed on the arena.
Dugu Yan's slender fingers twirled her purple shoulder-length hair, a playful smile making her face exude a demonic charm.
"Unless..."
"Jian Jiu is still hiding his strength."
Xue Qinghe had returned to the third floor.
He stared at the arena, his red lips parting slightly.
"Porcupinefish, Snake Lance..."
"Young Master, please speak."
"I will not allow Li Dixian to be injured."
Porcupinefish and Snake Lance sighed softly and nodded,
"Yes."
The Soul Arena match had not yet begun.
But on the stage, a murderous aura had already permeated the air.
Yu Tianheng took a step forward.
A muffled thunderclap exploded out of nowhere.
A purple Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.
"Third Spirit Ability - Thunder's Fury!"
His eye sockets were filled with lightning plasma, a foot of lightning flames spilled from the corners of his eyes, and lightning surged like a flood beneath his exposed skin.
Zzzzz—!
Zzzzz—!
Within a three-foot radius centered on him, streaks of lightning snakes spread outwards.
The nearby audience instantly felt numb all over, and even their hair stood on end.
Thunder has always been an attribute focused on attack power.
Seeing Yu Tianheng, who looked like a son of lightning, many spectators' faces showed expressions of shock.
But...
it wasn't over yet.
Two more yellow Soul Rings lit up consecutively.
"First Spirit Ability - Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Blue-purple dragon scales appeared on Yu Tianheng's arms, and his fingernails extended into half-foot-long dragon claws, wrapped in crackling lightning arcs.
"Second Spirit Ability - Thunderous Might!"
Dozens of lightning snakes erupted from his dragon-scaled palms, like a rain of lightning descending from the heavens, shooting towards Li Dixian.
At the same time,
the Thunder Dragon Claw, empowered by Thunder's Fury, also attacked Li Dixian.
All of this seemed slow, but in reality, it happened in a flash.
From Yu Tianheng using three Spirit Abilitys to launching his offensive, it was merely an instant.
Boom boom—!
Boom boom—!
Yu Tianheng moved like startled thunder.
Blue-purple lightning plasma boiled between his scales.
The small stones on the arena floor trembled slightly, suspended in the air, attracted by the lightning.
Thunder tore through the air.
Faintly, the roar of a Tyrannosaurus could be heard.
The blue-purple lightning illuminated faces filled with terror.
The might of this natural fury was too terrifying!
Yu Tianheng's full-power attack exceeded everyone's imagination!
At this moment!
Even the audience supporting Jian Jiu fell silent!
Second floor.
Yufeng exhaled.
"It's been a long time since I've seen the boss go all out!"
"Defeat the boss with one sword?!
"I want to see how Jian Jiu blocks the boss's attack!"
Ao Si Luo and the Shi Brothers nodded in agreement.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling watched the arena intently.
Third floor.
"Calm, too calm."
Porcupinefish Douluo said,
"From the moment Yu Tianheng used his Spirit Abilitys, Li Dixian hasn't moved. He must be confident."
Snake Lance Douluo became interested.
"Hmm, we don't need to intervene."
"However, I am very curious what other trump cards Li Dixian has to counter a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon that is one stage higher than him."
Xue Qinghe stared intently at Li Dixian on the arena, a golden gleam blooming deep within his eyes.
The wind brought by Yu Tianheng's attack caused Li Dixian's white robe to flutter.
Li Dixian's gaze suddenly became sharp, like a sword unsheathed.
Zheng—!
A clear sword cry resounded.
A three-foot, six-inch Azure Lotus Sword appeared out of nowhere in front of Li Dixian.
He raised his hand.
And gripped the sword hilt.
The moment his five fingers closed,
a purple Soul Ring attached itself to the Azure Lotus Sword.
"Second Spirit Ability - Three Swords' Splendor!"
This was a Spirit Ability from the mutated Soul Beast - Three-Tailed Sword Scorpion King!
Next sword strike, sword speed x300%, sharpness x300%!
The lotus imprint on the sword body slowly bloomed, emitting a translucent azure energy, diffusing an aura of extreme sharpness.
At this instant,
all the spectators felt a stinging pain in their eyes and closed them in terror.
Li Dixian's sword!
It was too dazzling for them to look directly at!
However, Yu Tianheng was not afraid.
He sneered.
"Jian Jiu, if this is all you have, you are bound to lose today!"
"Roar—!"
The thunder faintly condensed into a Tyrannosaurus roaring up at the sky.
Making Yu Tianheng's already terrifying might even stronger by a third.
"Yu Tianheng, today, I will test my self-created sword technique on you."
Under countless disbelieving gazes,
Li Dixian swung the Azure Lotus Sword, leaving a trail of shattered light like stardust.
He ran two fingers along the blade, and starlight immediately drenched the lotus on the sword body.
Buzz buzz—!
Buzz buzz—!
The Azure Lotus Sword cut through a series of afterimages.
At this moment, its sword speed had already broken the sound barrier.
Causing the air to emit a fine, tearing sound.
Even dust was cut in half wherever it passed.
Li Dixian even felt a tingling in his tiger's mouth; he almost couldn't hold onto the Azure Lotus Sword, which seemed about to transform into a rainbow and fly away.
"Azure Lotus Sword Song, First Form - Shaking Light Sword."
Facing the charging Yu Tianheng,
Li Dixian slashed with his sword.
Wishing all readers a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
