Chapter 25: Fighting Two Without Falling Behind!

Lu Yunzhou's words left no room for retreat.

Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin exchanged glances, understanding the implicit challenge.

After a brief pause, both responded simultaneously: "In that case, our apologies. We mean no offense."

With that, an immense surge of thunder erupted from Yu Yuanzhen's body, accompanied by a low dragon's roar.

Chen Xin, seeing this, sharpened his gaze, and a long sword appeared before him. The sword gleamed in icy white, exuding a fierce, murderous aura.

"Step back, everyone," Lu Yunzhou cautioned the crowd.

At his call, Prince Xue Qinghe, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, Zilin, and the others retreated to a safe distance, preventing any stray attacks from reaching them.

Lu Yunzhou looked down at his rusty long sword, murmuring softly, "I've neglected you for too long. After this is over, I'll see to it you get an upgrade."

With a single hand holding the sword and the other behind his back, he declared, "Come at me."

Receiving this signal, Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin wasted no time. In a flash, they charged toward Lu Yunzhou from both sides with blinding speed.

Facing Chen Xin's imposing approach from the left, Lu Yunzhou began to circulate his Spiritual Energy as he spoke, almost to himself,

"There are three kinds of swords…"

"The sword of the commoner, ruthless and showy…"

"The sword of chivalry, embodying valor, integrity, and righteousness…"

"And the sword of kingship, wielding the mountains as its hilt, commanding the five elements, binding yin and yang, spanning spring and autumn—the unmatched sword to which all must bow."

As Lu Yunzhou's words concluded, an awe-inspiring aura exploded from his body.

Simultaneously, a golden radiance enveloped both him and his sword.

"Spell—Golden Light Incantation."

With his left hand forming a seal behind his back, Lu Yunzhou smiled. The Golden Light Incantation was a versatile spell, perfect for facing multiple adversaries at once.

Noticing the golden shield protecting Lu Yunzhou, Yu Yuanzhen did not hesitate to test it with one of his Soul Skills.

"Third Soul Skill, Thunder Fury!"

A purple Soul Ring rose from beneath him, intensifying the lightning surrounding his right arm. Its size and power increased considerably.

With a mighty punch, his thunderous force surged towards Lu Yunzhou like a dragon breaking free of the sea.

"Palm Thunder!"

In response, Lu Yunzhou released another spell. His palm appeared fragile but surged with a formidable thunderous force, meeting Yu Yuanzhen's punch directly.

With a deafening boom, waves of energy rippled outward.

From this single clash, Yu Yuanzhen felt a newfound pressure and even a hint of fear.

"Could this be… the Ultimate Thunder?"

As Yu Yuanzhen looked at his numb, weakened hand and recalled the terrifying power of Lu Yunzhou's thunder, he couldn't help but wonder if this was the legendary Ultimate Thunder he had read about in his clan's ancient texts.

Ultimate Thunder—a force that could rend the heavens and shatter space, an unassailable power that even a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast couldn't withstand, that only a Titled Douluo could hope to match.

When Lu Yunzhou's Palm Thunder struck, the air itself quivered—a feat Yu Yuanzhen could only hope to achieve by unleashing his ninth Soul Skill in ideal conditions.

Could it be that Lu Yunzhou had mastered the elusive, mythic Ultimate Thunder?

Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's failed attempt, Chen Xin quickly closed in on Lu Yunzhou, unleashing his first Soul Skill, Sword Edge.

Without hesitation, Lu Yunzhou responded: "Valor—Edge."

The phrases he had just chanted were part of a spell—Sword Doctrine. "Valor—Edge" was a technique within it, enhancing the sharpness of his blade.

With his words, the rusty sword in his hand gleamed brilliantly, taking on a razor-sharp edge.

As a chilling glint from the sword reflected in Chen Xin's eyes, a sense of foreboding filled his heart.

But there was no turning back now. In a split second, Chen Xin swung his sword toward Lu Yunzhou's neck.

A crisp clash of iron echoed out of nowhere. The next moment, an overwhelming force sent Chen Xin and his Seven Kill Sword flying.

The first exchange ended!

Lu Yunzhou had a slight advantage over the two of them!

"Go, go!"

Watching this, Dugu Yan cheered loudly.

Beside her, her close friend Ye Lingling joined in, shouting, "Keep it up!"

"To hold his own against two, even gaining the upper hand… Lu Yunzhou is no ordinary cultivator." 

Snake Spear Douluo, Yu Long, stared at Lu Yunzhou in awe, his expression turning increasingly solemn.

Meanwhile, at the gate of Heaven Dou Royal Academy…

A delicate beauty in a blue palace dress stood elegantly. Her figure was alluring, her noble and refined aura adding an exceptional charm to her already graceful appearance. Men would be hard-pressed to look away.

"Is that Lu Yunzhou? He looks… so young."

The woman gazed at Lu Yunzhou fighting fiercely in the sky and murmured to herself.
