Douluo Continent: Naru Sacred Heart, Snow Shines Forever

Yu Tianheng steadied himself, his fighting spirit growing stronger rather than weaker.

"Since a single attack won't work, let's try the feeling of being burned by lightning!"

I refuse to believe you can be so relaxed and carefree!

The second yellow spirit ring coiled around the dragon's arm suddenly lit up.

It was more intense and violent than the first spirit ring.

The blue-purple lightning surrounding his body instantly surged, with countless electric snakes hissing and bursting forth from his scales and pores.

A rolling thundercloud gathered above his head, turning the light in the entire Soul Arena into an eerie blue-purple hue.

[Second Soul Skill - Thunderous Might]

The countless snake-like electric currents coiling around the body amplify simultaneously, transforming into countless lightning arrows that burst forth in all directions, their accompanying lightning power capable of paralyzing opponents.

Yu Tianheng suddenly raised his hand and slammed down with his dragon claw.

The thunderclouds overhead exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing countless thick, blue-purple lightning bolts like a torrential downpour.

With earth-shattering power, it bombarded Chen Jieqi relentlessly!

Each bolt of lightning was imbued with violent dragon power, exploding into a burst of light upon striking the ground.

Smoke and dust filled the air, making the entire arena tremble violently, leaving no escape.

Despite the towering bolts of lightning, Chen Jieqi remained calm.

He slowly raised his left hand above his head, his eyes deep and devout, the golden light around him becoming increasingly condensed, and the third purple ring around his body shining brightly.

Third Soul Skill: Divine Blessing

Naru is gentle and compassionate. Consuming 2% ​​of her base soul power, she increases all her attributes by 100%, while also accelerating the recovery speed of her soul power, stamina, and mental power. The effect is halved when used on others, lasting for half an hour.

Chen Jieqi's body shone with golden holy light once again, more dazzling than ever before, and he chanted softly.

"Holy light as a shield, impervious to all evil—Divine Protection!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heart of the Naaru continued to shine, and countless golden fragments of light gathered together, forming a huge, translucent light shield around him.

The shield of light is circular, with intricate, sacred patterns flowing across its surface. Layers of holy light overlap, forming a solid barrier.

It exudes a warm yet unassailable majesty, completely enveloping its form.

This is his specific defensive measure against elemental attacks.

The next moment, countless lightning bolts crashed down on the Holy Light Shield!

"Boom—Boom—Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Soul Arena, as blue-purple lightning and golden-white holy light collided and intertwined wildly.

The blinding light caused everyone present to instinctively cover their eyes.

The lightning tore at the light shield with a frenzied, piercing crackling sound.

The violent energy spread along the light shield, but it could not advance an inch due to the obstruction of the sacred runes.

Each strike of lightning was slowly purified and dissolved by the holy light; the violent lightning bolts struck the light shield.

Like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, they gradually melted into wisps of white smoke and dissipated.

Yu Tianheng stared intently at the unmoving holy light shield, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

Even when fighting Dugu Yan, there were still exchanges between them.

Ultimately, it couldn't withstand the wear and tear, yet this shield before them didn't even have a single crack!

He gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to unleash his soul power, increasing the power of the lightning pillar even further.

No matter how violent the lightning was, it could never break through the seemingly gentle barrier of holy light.

After a short while, the pillars of lightning began to dissipate.

Chen Jieqi once again concentrated his soul power into the sword, the light becoming even more refined and intense than before. Holy light flowed across the Ashbringer, turning into a blazing gold, and he slashed forward again.

"Cross Light Blade Slash!"

Yu Tianheng's pupils contracted sharply to needle size, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.

He immediately ended 'Thunderous Might' and then frantically squeezed out the little remaining soul power in his body.

The veins on Long Hua's right arm bulged as he swung his dragon arm and unleashed his attack.

[First Soul Skill - Thunder Dragon Claw]

A blue-purple dragon claw phantom materialized before him.

It roared and charged towards the "Light Blade Cross"!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and the blue-purple dragon claw phantom collided, melted, and annihilated with the golden cross-shaped light blade in mid-air.

Ultimately, the purifying power of the holy light instantly devoured the remaining lightning.

Next second,

Yu Tianheng knelt on one knee, his right arm hanging limply at his side.

His soul power was greatly depleted, his face turned pale, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his body swayed precariously.

His gaze toward Chen Jieqi was filled with deep shock, and a hint of unspoken admiration.

This prodigy, not even twelve years old, is far more terrifying than he imagined!

From single-target attacks to area-of-effect attacks, I had no chance of winning, and I couldn't even break through their defenses.

"You flatter me, Brother Yu."

Ignoring the shock in Yu Tianheng's and the others' eyes, Chen Jieqi spoke softly, his voice gentle yet carrying a convincing power.

As the dust settled, Chen Jieqi's white robes on the battle stage remained spotless, with only the Naru mark between his brows shining brightly.

It wasn't as intense as it was at the beginning, clearly indicating that this battle had consumed a lot of soul power.

The light from the Heart of Naaru gradually faded, the golden light in its eyes disappeared, and the boy's original clarity returned.

However, his brows now held a certain composure born from the experience of battle, as if the incredibly powerful clash just now was nothing more than a routine training session.

As for Yu Tianheng, the scales on his dragon-transformed right arm slowly shed, restoring his human form. He staggered slightly as he knelt on one knee, then braced himself with his hands on the ground.

He was panting heavily, his face as pale as paper, and the deep shock in his eyes had not yet completely faded.

He still can't believe that his all-out burst of energy couldn't even break through the opponent's defenses.

At this moment, Qin Ming was the first to regain his senses, suppressing his initial surprise, and raised his arm to announce loudly:

"The battle is over, the victor is Chen Jieqi!"

Before the words were finished, a soft pink and white light swept down from the stands.

The illusory petals of the Nine-Heart Begonia fluttered down in the air, gently covering Yu Tianheng's pale face.

The gentle healing soul power flowed into his nearly parched meridians like spring water, soothing the muscles and bones torn apart by the holy light.

Even his rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

This is precisely the tacit understanding between the Royal Fighting Teams; injuries from daily battles and training are commonplace.

The only difference is that the one who hurts people has changed from the usual Dugu Yan to Chen Jieqi.

Dugu Yan crossed her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with undisguised pride and admiration.

She looked at the still-shocked crowd and spoke calmly.

"Does anyone have any objections to Chen Jieqi taking over as captain of the Royal Fighting Team?"

Everyone then snapped out of their daze, their expressions of shock instantly replaced by almost fanatical anticipation.

Yu Feng, Oslo, the Graphite and Stone Mill brothers, along with Yu Tianheng who had just been treated, all spoke in unison.

"No objections, full support!"

The sounds were clear and resonant, echoing throughout the battle chamber for a long time.

Everyone knows in their hearts,

Under Dugu Yan's leadership, reaching the finals of the next Soul Master Tournament would have been the limit for the Royal Fighting Team.

But now, Chen Jieqi, who is younger and more powerful than Dugu Yan, has taken his place.

This young man, who can purify the thunder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex with holy light...

Thus, breaking the Spirit Hall's long-standing monopoly and winning the championship reward will no longer be an unattainable dream.

At that time, fame, glory, and cultivation resources will be within reach, enough to completely rewrite the fate of the entire team.

Even Qin Ming nodded slowly, his eyes filled with admiration and approval.

After all, seeing is believing, and battle spirit is the best standard for testing a soul master's strength.

Even the most amazing talent is not as convincing as a crushing victory.

In his gaze toward Chen Jieqi, there was only expectation for future fame.
