Mistakenly Entering Territory

The moment Yu Jian finished speaking, he grabbed Yu Tianlin and hurled him forcefully outward.

After throwing Yu Tianlin, electric light flashed explosively around Yu Jian's body, and a lightning pattern instantly condensed between his brows. His arms and legs abruptly lengthened by about a foot and thickened by a full circle. Under the cover of electric light, Blue-Purple Dragon Scales rapidly grew, covering all four limbs.

Five soul rings rose, but instead of circling his entire body like those of other soul masters, they revolved around the parts of Yu Jian's body that had undergone dragonification. One yellow and one purple soul ring spiraled around each of his left and right arms, while a black soul ring revolved around his legs below the waist.

Once Yu Jian completed his dragonification, a faint Dragon Might spread out and pressed down on the Lightning Wing Dragon in the air.

The sudden suppression of Dragon Might caused the Lightning Wing Dragon's body to stall, and it immediately turned its attention to the source of that Dragon Might—Yu Jian.

Seeing that he had successfully drawn the Lightning Wing Dragon's attention, Yu Jian pressed on. With a roar, the black soul ring on his body lit up, and a Blue-Purple Giant Dragon condensed from lightning appeared before him, baring its fangs and claws as it charged at the Lightning Wing Dragon in midair.

Damn, he had unleashed his ultimate right from the start. As expected of a soul master with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul—violence ran in his blood.

"Shriek!"

The lightning-condensed giant dragon was incredibly fast. It struck the Lightning Wing Dragon in an instant, and with a thunderous boom, the Lightning Wing Dragon was blasted over, letting out a miserable cry.

While Yu Jian and the Lightning Wing Dragon were locked in fierce battle, Yu Tianlin did not remain idle either.

After being thrown by Yu Jian, Yu Tianlin landed steadily. Not daring to linger in the middle of the path, he quickly moved close to the canyon wall and ran toward the mouth of the valley.

With Yu Jian holding it back, the Lightning Wing Dragon should not be able to threaten him. He only needed to ensure his own safety and avoid becoming a burden to Yu Jian.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, retreat was the best!

Yu Tianlin ran with his head down. The sounds of battle at his ears gradually grew fainter, and once he realized he had moved far away from the battlefield, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at that moment, a dark purple Thunder Ball suddenly shot toward him head-on!

Fortunately, Yu Tianlin had begun receiving some basic combat training after turning four. Faced with the sudden Thunder Ball, he instinctively bent his waist backward and performed a bridge, dodging the attack.

Boom!

The Thunder Ball flew past Yu Tianlin and exploded in the open ground behind him.

"Fuck! What the hell is this thing?"

After holding the bridge, Yu Tianlin smoothly followed it with a backflip and regained his footing, unable to stop himself from swearing.

Logically speaking, there should not have been any soul beasts along this route. Why had one suddenly...

Wait, no. There was also a Thunderous Hell Vine!

Yu Tianlin suddenly remembered. Looking up, he saw a completely purple "bamboo shoot" directly ahead of him.

Damn it, he had been too focused on running with his head down. He had stuck close to the cliff wall for safety, only to charge straight into the Thunderous Hell Vine's territory. No wonder it had attacked him.

Fortunately, the Thunderous Hell Vine was a plant-type soul beast and had no ability to move on its own. As long as he withdrew from its attack range, there would naturally be no problem.

Yu Tianlin did not want to fight the Thunderous Hell Vine and cause unnecessary complications, so he retreated to the side, intending to leave its territory.

However, to Yu Tianlin's surprise, despite his clear attempt to avoid conflict, the Thunderous Hell Vine still launched another attack at him.

Another dark purple Thunder Ball came flying over. Yu Tianlin performed an awkward roll, and although he avoided the strike, the scattered lightning still splashed onto him.

Though somewhat annoyed, Yu Tianlin was not one to act on impulse. After all, what would killing the Thunderous Hell Vine accomplish? It was not as though he would absorb its soul ring.

With that thought, Yu Tianlin sprang to his feet and immediately ran outward, wanting to leave as quickly as possible.

However, the Thunderous Hell Vine fired another Thunder Ball, which exploded in front of Yu Tianlin and forced him to leap backward, retreating once more.

"..."

Yu Tianlin was at a loss for words.

What did this mean? It would not even let him leave? Was it determined to kill him? You're a plant-type soul beast, Thunderous Hell Vine, not some rabid dog. He had only accidentally entered your territory—was there really any need to be so relentless?

What Yu Tianlin did not know was that the Thunderous Hell Vine before him had already endured 9,999 Lightning Strikes. Its cultivation had reached the limit of ninety-nine years, and it only needed to be struck by lightning one more time to break through into the realm of a Hundred-Year Soul Beast.

After breaking through to the hundred-year level, the Thunderous Hell Vine could change from passively receiving lightning strikes to actively drawing lightning, causing its cultivation speed to soar.

It could be said that the Thunderous Hell Vine before Yu Tianlin was at the most critical turning point of its life. It was therefore extremely tense, and when faced with an intruder, it would rather kill by mistake than let one go. It had to eliminate him completely!

Although Yu Tianlin did not know any of this, the Thunderous Hell Vine's attitude was already obvious.

"Since you're looking to die, don't blame me."

Yu Tianlin directly took out two short swords from the Storage Soul Tool his cheap old man had given him that morning—the Dragon Mark Ring.

These two short swords were no ordinary items either. His grandfather had given them to him the night before for self-defense. Not only were they incomparably sharp, but they could also conduct a certain amount of Thunder Attribute Soul Power.

Of course, these two short swords were only exceptionally effective at low levels. Once he reached Level Thirty and could undergo dragonification, they would be useless.

With the short swords in hand, Yu Tianlin activated his Soul Power. After a lightning mark condensed between his brows, he charged toward the Thunderous Hell Vine.

The Thunderous Hell Vine had no eyes, and Yu Tianlin had no idea how it sensed the outside world. It fired a Thunder Ball at Yu Tianlin as he charged toward it.

"Is that the only move you know?"

Yu Tianlin showed no fear. He poured Soul Power into the short swords, causing faint lightning to flicker across their blades. Crossing the two swords, he slashed straight at the Thunder Ball before him.

Slash!

The sharp short swords crackling with lightning came down and cut the Thunder Ball before him into four pieces. The Thunder Ball instantly shattered, turning into a sheet of lightning that enveloped Yu Tianlin.

However, Yu Tianlin paid it no mind and charged straight out of the lightning.

Useless!

Although his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was currently limited by his level and could not enhance his physical qualities through dragonification, it still provided a substantial boost in terms of the Power of Thunder.

The Power of Thunder was not merely lightning-attribute attacks; it also included one's own resistance to lightning.

If he had been struck head-on by a complete Thunder Ball, Yu Tianlin would have suffered at least serious injuries. But after splitting the Thunder Ball apart, the remaining lightning merely made him feel numb for a moment and caused no actual harm.

Breaking through the Thunder Ball's attack head-on, Yu Tianlin had already charged close to the Thunderous Hell Vine. He swung both short swords, about to hack the "little bamboo shoot" before him to death.

As though it sensed the deadly danger, the Thunderous Hell Vine condensed another blackish-purple Thunder Ball, preparing to smash it right into Yu Tianlin's face.

"I told you it's useless!"

Yu Tianlin shouted. The short sword in his left hand slashed toward the Thunder Ball before him, while the one in his right remained on course, still cutting toward the Thunderous Hell Vine's body.
