FINALS

---

[LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE TIME IS HERE FOR THE FINALS OF THE ONE-RING SOUL MASTER COMPETITION!]

[ON ONE SIDE, WE HAVE LAN XUANYU, NICKNAMED THE 'HAMMER-WIELDING DRAGON'!]

[ON THE OTHER, REMUS, KNOWN AS THE 'BLAZING THUNDER DRAGON'!]

----

Lan Xuanyu's piercing gaze locked onto Remus. His opponent's martial spirit—a mutated Blazing Thunder Dragon with dual attributes of fire and thunder—was a formidable force.

Xuanyu smirked. A dragon against me? Hehe

Golden dragon claws materialized around his hands and deafening, draconic roar erupted from him, accompanied by the illusion of a massive golden dragon towering behind him. Its majestic form glared down at Remus, releasing a thunderous roar.

The effect was immediate. Remus's martial soul quivered in terror, his soul power spiraling out of control. A sharp spiritual shock rippled through him, but then, a soft light emanated from the necklace around his neck. His soul stabilized, and the chaos within his spiritual sea calmed.

Despite this, his martial soul continued trembling under Xuanyu's bloodline suppression.

Xuanyu raised an eyebrow, his golden eyes narrowing. He activated Observe, his ability to analyze artifacts.

[ITEM: SOUL-PROTECTING AMULET]

[DESCRIPTION: A relic discovered in the Void Treasure Land, this artifact shields its wearer from spiritual and soul-based attacks.]

So he prepared for my bloodline roar, thinking it was merely a spiritual attack. Clever.

However, Xuanyu's suppression was more than just spiritual—it carried the might of his ancient bloodline, a power no ordinary artifact could fully counter.

Remus, realizing his predicament, donned his second artifact—a striking black armor adorned with crimson and violet markings. As it latched onto him, a surge of power coursed through his body.

Xuanyu activated Observe again.

[ITEM: BLAZING THUNDER ARMOR]

[DESCRIPTION: Forged by a master Artifactor, this armor enhances attack and defence power by 35% and amplifies fire and thunder elemental attacks by 30%.]

Xuanyu chuckled internally. This guy's loaded with artifacts. Young master of some powerful clan, huh?

Remus roared, his martial spirit surging. Fire and lightning crackled across his armor as he charged at Xuanyu with breakneck speed.

Xuanyu braced himself, meeting Remus's blazing fist with his own. A shockwave erupted as their blows collided. Xuanyu winced as searing heat and crackling electricity coursed through his arm.

Golden scales spread across Xuanyu's body as his spirit ring shone. He roared again, louder and more ferocious. The air thickened with draconic majesty.

The clash intensified. Fists, claws, and sheer elemental power tore through the arena. Remus's amplified strength allowed him to keep pace, but to his growing frustration, he couldn't overpower Xuanyu.

Sweat dripped from Remus's brow as his yellow spirit ring lit up. His armored hands transformed into razor-sharp dragon claws, layered with thick fire and thunder elements. The crimson and violet markings on his armor glowed fiercely.

With a burst of speed, Remus landed a devastating punch. Xuanyu barely raised his hammer in time, but the force shattered his defense. The impact sent him flying into the arena wall, debris erupting from the crash.

Groaning, Xuanyu staggered to his feet, golden scales barely holding against the attack. A large, charred scar marked his chest, pain radiating through him.

He activated his bloodline vortex, its spinning motion soothing the pain slightly. Blue Silver Grass absorbed energy from his inner world, releasing a surge of life force that began healing him.

Unexpected, but helpful, Xuanyu thought, though he had no time to ponder further as Remus charged again.

This time, Xuanyu summoned and swung his Clear Sky Hammer, meeting Remus head-on. The clash sent shockwaves through the arena, but Remus's overwhelming strength blasted Xuanyu back into the wall.

Blood trickled from Xuanyu's lips as he stood again. Each attack from Remus felt like a hammer blow against his very core. That armor makes him unstoppable. How do I even compete with this?

For a fleeting moment, the thought of surrender crossed his mind. But then, something stirred deep within him—a fiery resistance. His bloodline vortex spun violently, golden and silver energy swirling within.

Suddenly, three runes appeared within the vortex. A Golden Dragon rune, a Silver dragon rune, and a majestic Nine-Colored Dragon rune emerged, radiating ancient energy. The golden and silver runes fed into the nine-colored rune, which then released a brilliant, multicolored light.

Power surged through Xuanyu's body. His claws gleamed with a mesmerizing array of colors, his scales radiating divine brilliance.

He roared, and this time, it wasn't just a roar—it was a command. A wave of absolute majesty swept through the arena.

Remus, mid-charge, stumbled and fell, his martial spirit writhing in fear. His soul power spiraled out of control again, and though his necklace emitted its protective light, it barely made a difference.

Even the spectators, watching through soul guidance screens, felt the oppressive aura. Beast-type martial souls in the audience quaked, some fainting under the pressure.

In the VIP section, Tang Xiaoli frowned. "A self-martial soul fusion? But those dragons claws are same martial spirit...."

Far away, atop the Spirit Pagoda, a mysterious woman smiled knowingly.

In another corner of the city, a silver-haired figure raised her head, her eyes narrowing in Xuanyu's direction.

Back in the arena, frost spread outward from Xuanyu. The temperature plummeted as ice crystals formed along the ground, creeping toward Remus.

Struggling to stand, Remus summoned every ounce of strength left. But before he could react, an ice spear materialized in Xuanyu's hand, gleaming with nine-colored light.

The spear shot forward, piercing through Remus's defenses. His body froze mid-step before collapsing to the ground, unconscious.

[LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE OUR WINNER FOR THE ONE-RING SOUL MASTER COMPETITION: LAN XUANYU!]

Xuanyu stood amidst the destruction, his nine-colored aura slowly fading.
