Gu Yi had always followed the path of martial arts, so he wasn't afraid of close combat. Although he didn't have his preferred Killing Sword, wielding a Thunder Sword felt different but enjoyable.
Yu Yuanzhen glanced at the thunder on his dragon claws and noticed that within this domain, his thunder seemed to be restricted. Nevertheless, handling such a junior posed no problem.
Third Spirit Skill, Thunder's Wrath.
Using this spirit skill allowed him to enter a berserk state, doubling his thunder power and increasing his spirit power by fifty percent. Under this spirit skill, Yu Yuanzhen's weakened thunder power regained its original strength.
Seeing this, Gu Yi also used his third spirit skill, adding a tinge of blood to his blue Thunder Sword.
The distance between the two quickly shortened. Yu Yuanzhen used his first spirit skill again, but this time, it wasn't a long-range attack; it empowered his right arm. His first spirit skill had two modes: close combat and long-range, making it extremely versatile.
One side wielded thunder dragon claws, shrouded in purple lightning like a thunder dragon.
The other side held a Thunder Sword, emitting a sharp, shrill sound like a thunder god descending to Earth
The Thunder Sword and dragon claws clashed fiercely, neither giving the other an inch.
Even so, Yu Yuanzhen was shocked. He had a top-tier beast martial spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, excelling in strength and thunder, yet Gu Yi had easily blocked him. His martial spirit was said to be a weak body martial spirit.
Indeed, someone who could develop such a unique cultivation method couldn't be weak. If it were anyone else, Yu Yuanzhen would avoid offending them; he'd treat them as a distinguished guest. But besides being the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan leader, he was also a father. This battle was destined to end with only one survivor.
Sixth Spirit Skill, Heaven-Shattering Dragon Roar.
Yu Yuanzhen opened his mouth and let out a powerful roar like a true dragon. The sound waves rolled, and even Ning Fengzhi and the others, hundreds of meters away, had to block their ears with spirit power but still felt the powerful impact.
Gu Yi, being the closest, directly endured the sonic attack. His eardrums hurt, his brain stung, and the Thunder Sword in his hand showed signs of dissipating.
Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't waste such a great opportunity. His dragon claws went straight for Gu Yi's heart. The lightning-clad claws would end the battle if they pierced Gu Yi.
"You think one spirit skill can kill me? You underestimate me." Gu Yi's body shifted half a foot, dodging Yu Yuanzhen's strike. His Thunder Sword grew more solid, thrusting towards Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen, an experienced fighter, found such a simple attack laughable.
Gu Yi retracted his Thunder Sword and retreated ten meters.
"Trying to run?"
Run? Gu Yi smiled and launched an ice attack.
"Another attribute?" Yu Yuanzhen was utterly confused by Gu Yi's cultivation direction. Spirit masters typically followed a single path with their spirit rings, occasionally having secondary abilities. But switching from thunder to ice was unheard of, it would be foolish to do so. It would weaken both attributes and slow down cultivation.
Yet after blocking the ice attack, Yu Yuanzhen found it as strong as the thunder attack, equally threatening. Then, even stranger attacks came: fire, rocks, vines…
The strength of these attacks remained consistent. A careless defense could mean severe injury or worse.
Finally, Yu Yuanzhen, angered by Gu Yi's playful combat, decided not to hold back.
Martial Spirit True Body, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Yu Yuanzhen transformed into a true thunder dragon, not the mythical dragon from Gu Yi's previous life, but a big-bellied, winged dragon.
As a thunder dragon, Yu Yuanzhen spewed a Thunderball that was as powerful as his previous spirit skills.
Gu Yi carefully dodged the thunderball, looking at the enormous thunder dragon, and then at his small human form. This wouldn't do.
He now found controlling the world's elemental energy much easier. Today, he would show Yu Yuanzhen what a real dragon was. Using his mental control, he began to gather elemental energy. Though Yu Yuanzhen couldn't comprehend Gu Yi's actions, his instincts told him not to let Gu Yi succeed.
Eighth Spirit Skill, Sky-Thundering Dragon Explosion.
Under the effect of his Martial Spirit True Body and Thunder's Wrath, Yu Yuanzhen used his eighth spirit skill, creating a thundercloud above them. It was both majestic and dangerous. Blue-purple thunderbolts fell from the cloud, forming small thunder dragons that came charging at Gu Yi.
But it was too late! Gu Yi's transformation was complete. A creature not found in the Douluo Continent emerged.
With antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow—it seemed to combine traits of all creatures.
"What is that? A Martial Spirit True Body?" As a thunder dragon, Yu Yuanzhen stared at the completely energy-formed creature, bewildered by its beauty. Even those watching from afar speculated about its nature.
"Though I don't know what that is, it's definitely not a Martial Spirit True Body." Ning Fengzhi, well-read, had never seen such an ability. Gu Yi always had incomprehensible skills, making him truly formidable.
A mini thunder dragon struck the eastern divine dragon, causing significant damage. The once mighty dragon now appeared pitiful. But it wasn't Gu Yi's Martial Spirit True Body; it was merely a being formed by powerful elemental energy and mental strength. Though Gu Yi could feel the pain, the energy and mental power quickly restored the dragon.
"I see, it's still lacking something." Gu Yi realized the divine dragon needed a certain aura, one he possessed.
