Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 385 - 288: Six-Armed Celestial Demon Zhan Tianyu vs. Double Blade Yun Tianqi (Part 2)
Double Blade Yun Tianqi is the most unique existence among the top ten All-Star players.
Just like Lin Feng, he is from Jiang City, born in Jiujiang District, which, like Shore District, is one of the four major slums in Jiang City. Coming from an impoverished background and having a father with disabilities, Yun Tianqi matured early and has an intense desire for success.
Compared to other dazzling geniuses from a young age, Yun Tianqi’s talent can only be considered mediocre. From elementary to college, he was always unremarkable, never attracting attention.
He lacks exceptional martial arts talent, and on Awakening Day, he refined only a Sixth Grade Gale Mantis.
A Sixth Grade Demon Spirit is considered quite good for ordinary people.
But in the Glory Alliance, geniuses are everywhere, and professional players who have refined Ninth Grade Demon Spirits can be found all over, while geniuses who have refined Earth Chart Demon Spirits are also not uncommon.
A Sixth Grade Demon Spirit, let alone becoming a main squad member, isn’t even qualified to be a substitute or warm the bench. In today’s Alliance, such low-grade demon spirits are even rarer than Earth Chart demon spirits.
Despite such average talent, Yun Tianqi was discovered by the Thunder Club due to his Fast Blade Technique and signed on as the lowest level trainee without salary.
But even so, leveraging his Double Blade Technique, Yun Tianqi progressed from trainee to substitute and seized the opportunity to become a main squad member, rising step by step.
To become a main squad member took him a full seven years.
With the help of the club, his Sixth Grade Gale Mantis evolved into an Eighth Grade Ghost Shadow Mantis, thus securing a firm spot in the Alliance, garnering millions of fans, and eventually becoming one of the top ten All-Stars.
Yun Tianqi’s rise is different from others, a quintessential inspirational example. Many children from ordinary families with mediocre talent and poor conditions regard him as an idol and aspire towards him.
Known as Double Blade, Yun Tianqi refined the Ghost Shadow Mantis.
Although Zhan Tianyu is still young, he also has a nickname, which is named after the demon spirit he refined, Six-armed Celestial Demon.
Yun Tianqi refined an Eighth Grade Ghost Shadow Mantis, and with Demon Possession, he possesses ghostly speed and a pair of scythe-like sharp forelimbs. These forelimbs are his best weapons, and with his storm-like slashing, few can keep up with his attack speed.
Zhan Tianyu refined a Divine Level Demon Spirit, and with Demon Possession, he has six arms. Even if his attack speed is somewhat slower, he can wield six weapons simultaneously. Victory is not certain.
The heat of this battle surpasses Yun Kai challenging Xie Yixiao, rivaling Ye Qiu challenging Ye Xing.
Everyone is curious about who among them attacks faster.
Faster means victory.
This is a duel regarding attack speed.
When Zhan Tianyu announced a challenge to Yun Tianqi, under the spotlights shining on the stage, Yun Tianqi was not surprised, but seemed eager to compete.
A breeze appeared, and behind Yun Tianqi, a cyan light gathered, transforming into cyan wings. He flapped those wings and flew onto the stage, looking at Zhan Tianyu.
Zhan Tianyu wants to challenge him, and he likewise wishes to witness the prowess of the Six-armed Celestial Demon.
The Six-armed Celestial Demon ranks 32nd on the Earth Chart. Besides Ye Qiu, Zhan Tianyu’s demon spirit has the highest rank present.
The Six-armed Celestial Demon is unique to the Divine Martial Continent; even there, it is extremely rare.
Its innate soul skill is called Six Arms.
Refiner, Demon Possession, can possess six arms.
This is the origin of the Six-armed Celestial Demon’s name.
These six arms are covered in hard scales, impervious to blades and firearms, possessing great strength and capable of simultaneous attack. This is a soul skill of diamond grade.
This rare demon spirit is also referred to as a Divine Level Demon Spirit!
Its six arms are also called Divine Level Soul Skills!
This is the soul skill all warrior professions dream of.
Even Berserker Ye Xing is no exception.
Even for someone like Yun Tianqi in close combat, this is no exception.
This is the soul skill he most desires to absorb, bar none.
With an Eighth Grade Ghost Shadow Mantis, and relying on his Fast Blade Technique, he became one of the top ten All-Star players.
If he could absorb the Six Arms soul skill, paired with his Fast Blade Technique, in close combat, who could handle it?
Who could be his match!
Even facing Berserker Ye Xing, he has confidence he could gain an absolute advantage.
Such a soul skill could cause any Demon Spirit Master to transform, boosting their power by more than one level, even becoming invincible at the same tier!
This is undoubtedly the soul skill best suited for Yun Tianqi.
He dreams of refining it.
Of course, this is just a dream.
Any Divine Level demon spirit is rare and precious, invaluable and akin to a national treasure.
Even if obtained, Yun Tianqi lacks the courage to refine it.
The success rate is too low.
The higher the grade of the soul skill, the lower the success rate of absorption; and given the Eighth Grade Ghost Shadow Mantis he refined, absorbing the Six Arms soul skill is even more challenging. Even with five attempts, there’s no guarantee of success.
If failed, it would be a great waste.
Regarding Zhan Tianyu, Yun Tianqi is not unfamiliar; no one in the warrior profession would be.
Because of the Six-armed Celestial Demon.
Facing him at such a close distance, there is a hint of envy in Yun Tianqi’s eyes.
Even though he is already one of the top ten All-Stars, he still somewhat envies Zhan Tianyu, his talent, the ability to refine a Divine Level demon spirit, and also envies his background, enabling him to obtain such a demon spirit.
"Student Zhan Tianyu, why did you choose to challenge Yun Tianqi?"
Host Chen Xiaodi asked as per convention.
With stylish long hair and handsome looks, Zhan Tianyu was very gracious, first nodding towards Yun Tianqi, then saying, "I’ve always admired Double Blade Yun Tianqi as an idol. After refining Six-armed Celestial Demon, many have asked me: who has faster attack speed, you or Yun Tianqi? Today, given the opportunity, of course, I must try."
Zhan Tianyu’s answer made Chen Xiaodi breathe a sigh of relief.
Both Zhan Tianyu and Yun Kai are peerless talents who have refined Earth Chart demon spirits, and he fears a repeat of the Yun Kai incident.
Though conflicts can attract viewers, they are the last thing a host wishes to encounter.
"Regarding this challenge by one of the year’s most noteworthy rookies, who is also your own fan, Yun Tianqi, do you have any thoughts or something you’d like to say to Zhan Tianyu?"
Chen Xiaodi asked Yun Tianqi.
Zhan Tianyu was gracious, and Yun Tianqi naturally reciprocated. With a slight smile, he said, "Six-armed Celestial Demon Zhan Tianyu, I’ve heard your name more than once and have some understanding of you. Though I’m a predecessor, your talent makes me somewhat envious, and I look forward to the day we can fight side by side."
Having said this, the host wasted no time in announcing the start of the battle.
Zhan Tianyu made the first move, launching an attack by rushing towards Yun Tianqi.
During this, his body underwent transformation; his initial height of one meter ninety suddenly surged to two meters one, his physique became more robust, his originally fair skin turned dark and shiny, and most notably, two arms extended from both his back and both sides of his waist, giving him a total of six arms.
The lengths of these six arms are noticeably different; the four arms resulting from the transformation are evidently three to four decimeters longer and more robust, with the arms from the back being the longest. Each arm is covered with scales, pentagonal and dark, exuding a chilling aura.
All six arms simultaneously reached back, and Zhan Tianyu drew out six one-meter-five long blades from the back case he carried.
The blade is thin enough to provide faster attack speed, besides that, it holds no special attributes.
Zhan Tianyu originally wielded two long swords, two long knives, and two cylindrical forging hammers.
To compete in speed with Yun Tianqi, he replaced them entirely with long knives.
The choice of knives also pays homage to ’Double Blade’.
Gazing at Zhan Tianyu’s demon-transformed appearance, Yun Tianqi’s eyes expressed admiration and battle intent.
Meanwhile, he quickly initiated Demon Possession.
The Ghost Shadow Mantis refined by Yun Tianqi belongs to the combat series demon spirit category, and the majority of absorbed soul skills are close combat soul skills. He and Zhan Tianyu are both close combat professions. This battle is a contest of attack speed.
Facing Divine Level demon spirits, Yun Tianqi did not underestimate them. Post-transformation, Yun Tianqi’s form became slender, his jet-black eyes turned emerald, and his hands transformed into mantis-like forelimbs.
The forelimbs, shaped like sickles, are nearly one meter and five in length, curved in shape, potentially extending to two meters if straightened. They’re as thin as cicada wings, almost transparent under the lights but ruthlessly sharp, bearing a row of hard serrations. The end of the large blade has climbing suction pads.
Though only Eighth Grade, the Ghost Shadow Mantis’ innate skills are certainly no match for Yun Kai and Ye Qiu’s, but it was precisely these scythe-shaped forelimbs that established his fame.....
Confronted with this six-armed, demon god-like figure before him, he showed no intention of dodging. Amidst the fan’s screams, blades clashed, and sparks flew!
