On the Martial Arts Arena, Yuan Ming slightly bowed his fist towards the young man in the white robe across from him, his face as handsome as jade.

However, the other party had a cold expression and did not return the gesture. Instead, his gaze towards Yuan Ming was quite gloomy.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming was also a bit surprised. After carefully recalling, he still could not remember when he had met this person, let alone any past conflicts. Naturally, he did not understand where the anger was coming from.

At this moment, Cui Yu was already impatiently slapping his Spiritual Beast Bag at his waist.

The next instant, a scorching wave of air surged from his side, like walls of fire from all directions, pushing towards the surroundings.

Yuan Ming immediately felt a scorching breath coming straight at him, causing his breathing to stall.

Next to Cui Yu, there was now a Red-horned Fire Flood Dragon, about four to five zhang in length, its head bearing a Fiery Red Horn, its body covered in red scales, spouting large swathes of red miasma, with its massive form partly obscured within, much like a dragon showing its head but hiding its tail.

"This is a Red-horned Fire Flood Dragon! It seems to have reached the Third-level Upper Stage!"

"Red Ganoderma Island won two consecutive battles, and it was originally thought that there might be a chance in the third battle, but now it seems impossible."

"Of course, the status of a First-class Island is not something that a Second-class Island like Red Ganoderma Island can shake! Cui Yu seems to be in a bad mood. Whether that kid can even survive is questionable!"

"Karmic Fire Island actually sent such a person to the competition, isn't this making a big deal out of a small issue?"

The spectators gasped and discussed, with voices doubting Yuan Ming's chances rising from all around.

"Red-horned Fire Flood Dragon! It looks like the Flood Dragon bloodline is quite strong. Could it possibly be the direct bloodline from the Red Flood Dragon clan?" the person in charge of Red Rain Island asked with brightened eyes.

"Brother Xu has a good eye. You guessed it right. To capture this Flood Dragon, even the Island Master personally took action, and it took some effort," Yan Xiang said with a hint of pride on his face.

"Congratulations to Karmic Fire Island for adding another powerful spirit beast!" laughed the Cultivator from Red Rain Island.

Bi Shuirou's face flashed with unease, and she couldn't help but look towards Xi Ying.

"Don't worry," Xi Ying said calmly.

Yuan Ming observed the Red-horned Fire Flood Dragon for a moment, then pressed his hand on his own Spiritual Beast Bag.

"Show yourself, Lei Yu."

The next moment, a flash of lightning passed by him, the dazzling light stinging the eyes of many onlookers.

Accompanied by a clear and distant cry, a huge Thunder spiritual bird appeared above Yuan Ming's head, slowly spreading its wings and fluttering them, with electric light swirling under the feathers, making a "zzt zzt" sound of electric current.

At the same time, dark clouds gathered above the arena, forming a huge mass of pitch-black clouds with flickering lightning inside and the sound of muffled thunder coming from within.

The astonishing momentum of Lei Yu's arrival gradually quieted down the chatter in the plaza, until everyone fell silent.

"This help that Red Ganoderma Island has brought is not simple. Everyone was shocked in the last match, and this match's Cultivator is also not weak. Looking at the appearance of this spiritual bird, it seems like the Thunder Wing Bird recorded in the encyclopedia. This bird is said to be a descendant of the Ancient Thunder Peng, and in terms of potential, it's even above the Red-horned Fire Flood Dragon," said the person in charge from Red Rain Island.

"The potential of the Thunder Wing Bird is indeed extraordinary, but it's currently only at the Third-level Lower Stage, not worth worrying about," Yan Xiang said unconcerned.

On the Martial Arts Arena, Cui Yu stared at the Thunder Wing Bird with a covetous look in his eyes.

"Thunder Wing Bird! I've been searching for this bird for many years, to think I would encounter it here. It seems coming here was truly the right decision! Kid, I am in a good mood. If you hand over this Thunder Wing Bird, I can spare your life!" Cui Yu said, the corner of his mouth twitching into a haughty laugh.

Yuan Ming ignored the raving opponent and directly ordered Lei Yu to attack.

With a thunderous roar in mid-air, Lei Yu's figure disappeared in an instant.

In almost a blink of an eye, Lei Yu reappeared but had already surfaced right in front of Cui Yu. As it opened its beak to cry out, a thick silver Thunder Strike instantly formed and shot towards him.

Cui Yu's spirit beast, the Red-horned Fire Flood Dragon, reacted just as quickly. The horn atop its head suddenly brightened intensely, shooting out a thick beam of fire that collided with the silver lightning.

A tremendous "boom" resounded.

Lightning and firelight exploded at the same time, dissipating into strands of electricity and sparks scattering everywhere.

Before the shock wave from this impact dissipated, Lei Yu was already wrapped in circulating electric light, and in a flash, disappeared again.

The next instant, it appeared behind Cui Yu, once more opening its beak to cry out and executing the Thunder Strike Divine Ability.

Silver lightning lanced out, aiming straight for the spot behind Cui Yu's heart.

"As expected from a spirit beast with Thunder Peng bloodline, truly swift!" Cui Yu turned around and struck out a palm behind.

As his sleeve billowed, a streak of red firelight shot out, turning into a sharp spike that swiftly shattered the golden lightning and thrust towards Lei Yu at his rear.

However, by this moment, Lei Yu had already flown swiftly to another side, attacking again with the Thunder Strike Divine Ability.

This time, it was the Red-horned Fire Flood Dragon that blocked the attack.

With its incredibly fast speed, Lei Yu successfully managed to delay Cui Yu by itself, and Yuan Ming, who was at a distance, was not idle either, performing the rain praying technique.

With Yuan Ming's current cultivation, the effect of the rain praying technique was far beyond what it was before, and the water vapor within the East Sea was even more abundant. The thunderclouds that were originally only a few dozen zhang wide above the platform rapidly expanded, quickly enveloping half the sky above Fusang City.

Layer upon layer of dense thunderclouds kept accumulating and thickening the cloud layer substantially.

Yuan Ming looked up at the dark clouds and nodded slightly.

The black curtain of clouds seemed to press down the sky above the Martial Arts Arena, emanating a formidable oppressive sensation that made the surrounding audience feel an atmosphere of tension.
