Chapter 140: The Power of Divine Purple Lightning

The air was thick with tension. Benedict, ever the schemer, turned to Zhou Kang with a proposition. "Let's join forces and defeat Li Yang first. Only then shall we battle each other for the third position. What do you think?"

Considering Lyria's overwhelming prowess earlier, Zhou Kang had little choice. "Given Lyria's performance, it seems we have no other way. Let's proceed!"

As they plotted, Li Yang noticed the duo's intent gaze fixed on him. The element of surprise was gone, but he remained calm, almost expectant.

Without wasting a moment, Zhou Kang commanded the Tyrant Lizard King to launch its mightiest attack. Concurrently, Benedict signaled the Mammuthus to unleash its most formidable skill. Both attacks converged, a spectacular display of raw power headed straight for Li Yang.

But Li Yang, with serene composure, raised his hand and chanted a command to Ares. The sky turned a deep shade of purple, and what followed was breathtaking. Divine Purple Lightning, an ancient and rarely-seen element, thundered down from the heavens. The entire arena was awash with its mesmerizing luminescence. The potent bolts struck both the Tyrant Lizard King and the Mammuthus with relentless fury. In mere moments, both creatures were reduced to ashes, their remains carried away by the winds of the arena.

"Zhou Kang and Benedict, your challenge has been unsuccessful. Please leave the arena," declared Fred, his voice echoing across the stands.

The audience was in awe. Even Lysander and Lyria looked taken aback, clearly not expecting Li Yang to possess such a unique and powerful technique. Whispers erupted among the spectators. "What kind of lightning was that? It seemed...different."

Cheng Liang, his eyes wide in disbelief, murmured, "He held back against me... He still had that move up his sleeve."

Mr. Henry, the principal of the academy, chuckled heartily. "Ah, to witness the Divine Purple Lightning is a blessing for our institution. Truly a magnificent display!"

Li Yang's showcase not only reinforced his strength but also added an element of mystery to his capabilities. Everyone, including his competitors, knew that underestimating him would be a grave mistake. As the battles progressed, one thing became clear: the tournament was far from over, and more surprises awaited.
