--- Chapter 76 ---

In the training field inside the spirit hall's branch, Yunlong and Liu Erlong stood in front of each other. The only thing that separated them was the driver, who stood between them as Yunlong appointed him to referee.

"Are you ready...?" Liu Erlong suddenly asked as she never really felt anything would change after she fought Yunlong.

"I should be the one who asked that," Yunlong responded while making the golden-threaded handkerchief floating above his right palm.

'His martial soul is a handkerchief?' Liu Erlong slightly frowned while looking at Yunlong's martial soul, which made her think this fight will be one-sided.

As Yunlong could tell what Liu Erlong thought about him right now, he suddenly made his spirit rings appear in the air, making everyone in the area baffled by his spirit rings configuration.

Four bizarre spirit rings, two purple and two black spirit rings, floated behind Yunlong's back. "Yunlong, Spirit Ancestor." He calmly said while giving Liu Erlong a sharp gaze.

Liu Erlong's eyes quietly stare at the two black spirit rings, which are calmly hovering behind Yunlonng's back.

"To think, someone who possessed a waste martial soul like Xiaogang reached this level..." She silently muttered while looking back at Yunlong.

'There is no wasted martial soul, but only a waste human.' Liu Erlong suddenly thought while closing her eyes.

Liu Erlong opened her eyes and instantly activated her martial soul, making the surrounding area scorching with burning temperature as a fire dragon's silhouette stood behind her.

"Liu Erlong, Spirit Saint." She said while seven optimal spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and three blacks spirit rings hovered around her body.

"The rule is simple. You cannot kill each other." The driver stated, to which Yunlong and Liu Erlong responded with a nod.

They stared at each other for a moment, and the driver declared, "Start."

Yunlong instantly used his shadow flash steps and appeared in front of Liu Erlong, which made her eyes shrank.

'He's fast...!' Liu Erlong thought while raising her arm and activated her first spirit ring, making her entire arm covered with red dragon scales.

'Rumbling Mountain Fist.' Yunlong launched a punch toward her, which has a powerful momentum like a mountain.

BAM! Crack!

The red dragon scales got instantly destroyed, which caught Liu Erlong off guard as she never thought Yunlong's physical ability would be this strong.

"Fire Dragon Claw." Liu Erlong deflected Yunlong's punch and countered with a flaming claw toward his head.

Yunlong made the handkerchief bigger and hardened it into a shield, which protected him from Liu Erlong's attack, but he could still feel a great shock, and burning energy passed through his defense.

Clank! Boom!

'Strong...!' They both thought while looking at each other's eyes.

Yunlong activated his second spirit skill without further ado, which transformed the handkerchief into many sharp golden strings.

'Golden Cage.' Yunlong's fingers danced in the air, and a formation of golden lines immediately surrounded Liu Erlong.

"Fire Dragon's Body." Liu Erlong's body burned with a crimson fire, which made her look like an incarnation of a fire demon.

She roared toward the skies like a dragon and punched the golden cage with her fist, "Fire Burst."

ROAR! BOOM!

'She destroyed that!?' Yunlong looked at the destroyed pieces of the golden cage, which scattered in the air.

Liu Erlong suddenly appeared in front of him with burning dragon eyes, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" She roared and launched a powerful fire wave toward Yunlong.

(An: Natsu, is that you?! Lol)

Yunlong calmly looked at the fire wave and waved his hand to the right side, which bends the attack in a weird-looking track.

BOOM!

The attack flew toward a tree, which got destroyed when the fire wave contacted it.

'How did he do that?' Liu Erlong frowned as she perfectly controlled her attack, but when the fire wave entered Yunlong's domain, she instantly lost control of her attack.

'Extreme Fire and Water Control...' Yunlong looked at the destroyed tree and sighed because his control over these elements isn't perfect yet.

'I can only bend her attack, huh.' He continued while shifting his gaze back to Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong took a deep breath and looked at Yunlong with a new light, "I underestimated his strength." She muttered with a soft tone.

'Bibi Dong, what kind of monster did you give birth to...' Liu Erlong thought while remembering Bibi Dong's short story about Yunlong.

They looked at each other with a solemn expression and thought of the next attack, which Yunlong instantly did as a spider web suddenly came out of the ground to trap Liu Erlong.

'The first move is made, next.' Yunlong dashed and caught one scattered golden string, which he enlarged into a golden spear.

He threw the golden spear toward Liu Erlong and looked at her, who was struggling to break free from the webs.

'I can't break these webs...?' Liu Erlong thought while looking at the incoming golden spear, which unusually released a tremendous pressure.

'What's this feeling.' She continued with a frown as her body and mind suddenly shuddered a little.

'It's an attack, which combined both physical and spiritual energy.' Yunlong looked at the golden spear.

Even though he never used it before, he knows how to apply it since he already combined his spirit energy and sword intent. A technique that only appears in the future; Sovereign's Descent(Absolute Dominance).

Liu Erlong's eyes suddenly turned red, and powerful killing intent surged from her body, making Yunlong frown as he knew about her background story.

"Fire Dragon's Transformation." Liu Erlong's cold voice echoed, and dark-crimson dragon scales directly covered her body as the blazing fire burned everything around her.

Swoosh! Kacha!!

The golden spear almost reached Liu Erlong's body, but she abruptly caught it with her dragon's claw and broke it into pieces, which made Yunlong a little speechless.

Liu Erlong shifted her gaze at Yunlong and raised her hand, which confused him for a moment. "Come..." She quietly said.

'This woman.' Yunlong's mouth twitched.

He shook his head for a moment and took another golden string, which he transformed and hardened into a slender black-golden sword.

Yunlong calmly breathed as he entered a stance and said, "Second Round."
