In the Spirit Battle Arena, the host announced, "Finals of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament, Match , contestants, prepare yourselves. You have one minute to activate your spirits. Attacks may only commence upon my signal. The match continues until one side concedes, is completely incapacitated, or is forced off the arena stage."
Standing at the forefront, Yu Tianheng shouted, "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, possess me!"
Two yellow and two purple spirit rings emerged around him, and a deep dragon's roar echoed through the arena. Fine blue-purple dragon scales appeared on both of Yu Tianheng's arms. Previously, only one of his arms bore dragon claws, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's innate spirit ability—Dragonification—transforms one part of the body every ten levels. Upon reaching level forty, it was his left arm that underwent this transformation.
Although Yu Tianheng's fighting spirit had been thoroughly ignited by Tang San, he couldn't help but pause when he saw his opponent's full spirit release.
Evil Moon and Yan, standing at the front of their group, each glowed with two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit ring—ideal ring configurations. The powerful pressure radiating from the two, as they stood side by side, instantly dulled some of Yu Tianheng's imposing aura.
Suddenly, another piercing beastly roar echoed beside Evil Moon's trio. A golden light flashed as two yellow and two purple spirit rings appeared. Although only at the Spirit Ancestor level, the pressure radiating from this individual surpassed even that of Spirit Kings Evil Moon and Yan.
Tian Yao's eyes shone brightly, his entire body enveloped in a layer of fine golden scales. His pale golden hair turned into a dense, keratinous mane. His hands morphed into dark-golden claws, and a massive, scale-covered tail with protruding spikes extended behind him.
Sword Douluo's pupils contracted. "This is bad—it's the Golden Crocodile King Spirit. That person's descendant has appeared here… could that person still be alive in this world?"
"Grandpa Jian, the Golden Crocodile King Spirit—how powerful is it?" Ning Rongrong asked, turning her head.
"Extremely powerful."
Sword Douluo looked affectionately at Ning Rongrong and said in a deep voice, "Among the three upper sects, their inherited spirits are all hailed as the strongest in their respective domains. However, in the world of spirit masters, there are certain spirits capable of rivaling them. The Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit is the nemesis of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit, and this Golden Crocodile King Spirit is the direct rival of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit."
"This spirit is imbued with potent golden energy, entirely immune to the thunderous power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit. Its physical enhancement capabilities are terrifying. Yu Tianheng is in serious trouble."
Ning Rongrong nodded, then asked curiously, "Grandpa Jian, you mentioned that each of the upper three sects' inherited spirits has a nemesis. Then who is the nemesis of Third Brother's Clear Sky Hammer Spirit?"
Hearing this, Sword Douluo remained silent, a trace of desolation flashing through his eyes. His sword heart had been shattered, drastically weakening the Seven Kill Sword Spirit. Back during the sect competition, even when suppressing their levels to equal ground, he couldn't defeat Tang Hao. Now, he was even less of a match. The Seven Kill Sword could no longer hope to challenge the Clear Sky Hammer's dominance.
Ning Fengzhi immediately changed the subject. "Rongrong, the match has begun—watch your opponents closely!"
Although Ning Rongrong was slightly displeased, she obediently turned her attention back to the arena.
On stage, Hu Liena gracefully stepped forward. With a simple twist of her body, she was already at the front line. A faint, enchanting smile appeared on her face. As she released her spirit, her beauty seemed to intensify, and a fluffy, fur-covered tail sprouted from her back.
A faint pink light emanated from Hu Liena's body. Her eyes sparkled as she glanced toward Yu Tianheng. Just as Yu Tianheng was about to unleash a spirit ability, he abruptly paused again. However, with his wealth of combat experience, he quickly shouted, "Don't look into her eyes!"
"Do you think not looking into my eyes will help? People call me the Celestial Fox," Hu Liena said, her voice slightly hoarse, yet laced with an irresistible allure. From the moment she cast that initial glance to the utterance of those words, not a single member of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team made a move. They all stood frozen, expressions dazed, their eyes seemingly tinged with pink.
Not only that—even spirit masters below the Spirit Emperor level outside the arena found their eyes turning pink upon hearing Hu Liena's enchanting voice.
Soon, the duo's Spirit Fusion Ability activated. With flowing hair and a bewitching, androgynous form, the fused entity appeared, enveloping the seven members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy in a mist of pink. Then, almost like clockwork, one student after another was sent flying from the stage—one per second.
After seven seconds, the red mist dissipated. Xie Yue and Hu Liena released their Spirit Fusion Ability. Of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team, only Yu Tianheng remained standing—completely unharmed.
Yu Tianheng looked at his six unconscious teammates scattered across the ground, then turned his gaze to Xie Yue and Hu Liena as they ended their fusion. His eyes flared with anger. "What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to humiliate me?"
Resting his Moon Blade on his shoulder, Xie Yue smirked. "Yu Tianheng, we're not your opponents."
"Your opponent is me," Tian Yao said as he stepped forward, his tone dripping with disdain. "Yu Tianheng, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan boasts that its spirit is the greatest in the world. But to me, your so-called dragon is nothing more than a blue earthworm."
"What did you say?!"
Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin flew into a rage. They would never tolerate anyone insulting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Tian Yao raised his head arrogantly and sneered. "I'm simply speaking the truth. Not convinced? Fine. I won't even move, and I'll let you use just one hand."
"You arrogant fool! I'll show you that a mere crocodile dares not challenge a mighty dragon. Second Spirit Ability—Thunderclap!"
Though Yu Tianheng spoke with fury, he didn't let rage cloud his judgment. He immediately used his second spirit ability, known for being nearly impossible to dodge at the same level. Dozens of blue-purple lightning spears converged into a single point, aimed directly at the motionless Tian Yao in the center of the stage.
"Prehistoric crocodiles feasted on dragons!"
Tian Yao grinned as brilliant golden light surged from his body. His massive crocodile tail, covered in sharp golden barbs, suddenly seemed even more menacing. With a powerful swing, a thunderous bang bang bang echoed in the air. Though the enormous tail was slightly charred, the scales remained unscathed.
"Despite a five-level spirit power gap, he took Yu Tianheng's second spirit ability head-on with just a basic attack... The Golden Crocodile King Spirit truly is terrifying."
Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi stood with furrowed brows, their faces grim. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was in a transitional period, with no one in the younger generation ready to carry the mantle. Meanwhile, Spirit Hall was in its golden age. Once these geniuses matured, they would likely become -level powerhouses. The older generation had already been crippled by Qian Renxue—things looked bleak for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's future.
The battle on the arena stage continued.
Yu Tianheng charged forward to engage Tian Yao head-on. One hand clashed against two, golden light and lightning sparks flashing wildly.
