Chapter 226 - Powerful (1/2)

A draconic roar blasted through the air.

The moment the lightning bird met with the wheel of swords, an azure dragon's form manifested. Its figure complemented that of the blue lightning bird as the two acted in concert.

Long Huantian arrived at Zhang Zhenpeng's side. Although the two were rivals, they were still old friends. It was natural to a.s.sist one another in times of crisis.

During the event, an ear-piercing alarm thundered through the background. Considering the scale of the Skysea Alliance Tournament, few would dare cause a ruckus and pit themselves against the entire Skysea Alliance.

Nine booms rumbled in succession, each followed by an engulfing wave of frost spreading out to all four corners of the stadium. The remaining spectators s.h.i.+vered in this cold. For a hairbreadth of a moment, a strange l.u.s.ter gripped the sky, elemental energy fluctuating chaotically in the stadium.

So powerful!

All of the spectators were dumbstruck as they watched the scene unfold. This was a clash between three powerhouses, each with six rings! Calling it 'incredible' would be an understatement.

Wu Zhangkong stood steadfast as he observed the clash before him with calm eyes. He was unmoved as the elemental shockwaves sent his robes billowing.

Long Huantian and Zhan Zhenpeng both retreated ten steps, their expressions as dark as stormy skies. While the former was slightly pale, traces of blood painted the latter's mouth red.

Long Huantian roared in indignation, “Where did you come from? How dare you cause trouble at the Skysea Alliance Tournament!”

Wu Zhangkong stared at them without speaking a word, his gaze cold enough to freeze. The Skyfrost Sword s.h.i.+ned brilliantly in his hands while a ferocious aura exploded from his form. All six of his soul rings lit up.

Although the three soul masters each had six rings, Long Huantian and Zhang Zhenpeng felt suppressed with Wu Zhangkong facing against them. Their bodies stiffened; their soul power circulation became erratic.

The two were overwhelmed with horror. Wu Zhangkong had yet to breach thirty years of age, yet he had two black soul rings. Their expressions soured at the thought of battling him.

Two people had been paying attention to this match since the start—Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan. Xu Lizhi's voice wavered with anxiety. “Tang Wulin should be fine, right? Yeah, he's fine. Big sis Xinglan, he's fine, right?”

Ye Xinglan's eyes were dull. She had come to watch cla.s.s zero's match today in order to scout out Gu Yue in preparation for their promised battle. After all, only by knowing both one's self and one's enemy could one emerge victorious.

However, she had never expected the battle to play out this way. As a spectator, she had been able to see Tang Wulin s.h.i.+eld Gu Yue in the final moments of the Forest of Ice, with his own body nonetheless. He never released her even as the branches penetrated him.

That scene touched her heart. They were young boys and girls, so such pure actions in that time of crisis moved her easily.

In that instant, all her grudges against Tang Wulin were vanquished, his position elevating in her heart.

This was the first time she had seen someone sacrificing so much for another.

His body was riddled with holes. Any of those injuries could be fatal. He was also wounded severely in our battle a few days ago! Maybe he is…

Ye Xinglan didn't answer Xu Lizhi. She herself didn't know what sort of answer to give.

She sighed within her heart. There was nothing that she could do. That man with the blue sword should be his teacher.
