Chapter 113 – The Haotian Brothers Suffer a Brutal Beating (Part 2)
Pavilions by the water, a garden in full bloom.
Yu Yuanzhen was leisurely enjoying his afternoon tea in the sect's garden, feeling quite content.
Although many clan members were dissatisfied with the resources he had sought for Yu Xiaogang, he was, after all, his own son—how could he not care?
Now, after nearly two years of effort, Yu Xiaogang had managed to reach level 36.
For a 25-year-old adult soul master, this wasn't particularly impressive, but Yu Yuanzhen no longer had high hopes for him. He simply wished that once Yu Xiaogang broke through to Soul King, he would at least leave behind a bloodline, especially since, according to Ye Wen, his bloodline was a rare and powerful mutation—albeit a failed one.
Just as Yu Yuanzhen was about to pick up a pastry and take a bite—suddenly:
"The Haotian Twin Stars have come to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to pay respects to Thunder Douluo."
The delicate pastry shook and fell to the ground.
Yu Yuanzhen's expression darkened.
He immediately wondered who would dare cause trouble at one of the Three Great Upper Sects, but his slow brain finally caught up—Haotian Twin Stars? Could it be Tang Wei's two foolish sons?
Those two hotheads had been causing quite a stir across the continent recently.
Though Yu Yuanzhen wasn't the most cunning man, he knew the brothers weren't coming for no reason.
"Arrogant brats! Trying to use my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to build your reputation!"
He shot up abruptly, sending his chair flying behind him. In a flash, he leapt into the sky and hovered over the sect's main gate, glaring down at the approaching Tang Hao brothers.
"You little punks! What are you here for?" Yu Yuanzhen bellowed.
At the same time, he released the terrifying soul power pressure of a level 95 Super Douluo, bearing down on the Tang Hao brothers.
But the two didn't flinch. They'd undergone similar pressure training within their own sect. If they backed down now just because of soul power suppression, they might as well toss aside the reputation of the Haotian Hammer—the number one Tool Spirit under the heavens.
Killing God Domain—
Without hesitation, Tang Hao unleashed the domain he had gained from the Slaughter City.
Effect: Increases one's own presence while weakening the opponent's combat strength by 10% and boosting one's own by 10%. The domain could further evolve with continued slaughter.
Seeing that Tang Hao possessed a domain, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes flickered with envy. Domains weren't something every Title Douluo had—some Super Douluos didn't even possess one.
"Lord Thunder, my brother and I have been traveling the continent and came today to pay a visit to your sect, one of the Three Great Upper Sects. We hope you won't let us down," Tang Xiao said calmly.
"I admit you're both outstanding among the younger generation. No one among our peers can match you. Please leave," Yu Yuanzhen replied coolly.
He really had no choice. Though the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was a top-tier sect, he knew its weaknesses well. Because of the lightning attribute, their martial spirits were prone to mutation—some good, some bad.
These mutations often affected talent, the most notable example being his own son, Yu Xiaogang.
As a peer to the Haotian Sect Master, Yu Yuanzhen's generation had some Soul Douluos, but they couldn't act against the younger generation. The younger disciples were at best Soul Emperors or Soul Sages—no match at all.
While both sects had Super Spirits, once the Haotian Hammer reached Soul Sage level, it could definitely suppress the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
And clearly, the Tang brothers knew Yu Yuanzhen would refuse. Tang Hao smirked slyly and said:
"Since we've come all this way, why not spar with us, Lord Douluo? If we return empty-handed, we'd have no face left to meet our elders."
Yu Yuanzhen looked down, fists clenched, silently cursing them. He never invited these jinxes here in the first place!
But they were just Soul Douluos. Even with the Haotian Hammer, they weren't enough to shake him.
"Young fools who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Maybe you'll surpass me in the future—but right now, you dare challenge me as mere Soul Douluos? Who gave you the courage? Even Tang Wei wouldn't dare act so brazenly on my turf!"
With a roar, Yu Yuanzhen activated his martial spirit and donned his soul armor—a dazzling blue suit of armor resembling the deep sea, crackling with lightning.
"Fifth Soul Skill – Tyrant Thunder Battle Form!
Sixth Soul Skill – Frenzied Lightning Break!"
Yu Yuanzhen immediately launched an overpowering strike and appeared in front of the Tang brothers in a flash.
Tang Xiao hadn't even summoned his spirit yet and silently cursed the old man for not playing fair.
But Tang Hao reacted swiftly, unleashing the Haotian Nine Arts – Pierce to meet the charge.
Even with the same Super Martial Spirit and their sect's signature skills, the over-ten-level soul power gap meant Tang Hao was instantly blasted hundreds of meters away.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao quickly activated the Haotian Nine Arts to engage Yu Yuanzhen in close combat.
The cultivation of soul power is divided into three states:
Gas, Liquid, and Solid.
Gas to Liquid marks the breakthrough to Soul Sage, and Solid occurs at Title Douluo level.
(Note: This is a supplementary setting from Douluo Dalu 2 regarding soul cores.)
Though all soul power returns to a gaseous form in combat, that doesn't mean they're equal. As one progresses, their spiritual power grows immensely. Even in gaseous form, high-level soul masters far surpass the lower ranks.
The Tang brothers were strong, empowered by the Haotian Sect's legacy techniques—especially Tang Hao, who had enhanced spiritual power from the Slaughter City and could rival most Title Douluo in that regard.
But that only applied to normal Title Douluos. Yu Yuanzhen wasn't just any Title Douluo—he was a level 95 Super Douluo, on the threshold of transcending even among Title Douluos.
His soul power foundation was immense, and at this level, his comprehension of his martial spirit had entered a whole new realm. Even when fighting two against one, the Tang brothers were suppressed.
They had planned to trample this old dragon and glorify the Haotian Sect—but this old dragon turned out to be far more formidable than expected. Worse still, his lightning had a numbing effect, throwing them into disarray and regret.
"What's the matter? Is this all the legendary Haotian Twin Stars—said to rival Title Douluos—are capable of?
Bring out the strength behind that arrogance from earlier! I'm not so old that I need you to go easy on me."
Yu Yuanzhen mocked them harshly.
Even though he hadn't yet reached the pinnacle level of his original counterpart who fought four at once, he was far from being a pushover.
