First Spirit Skill: Undying Rooting!

With Dugu Bo's help, Ye Yu killed this Undying Grass, which had cultivated for over five thousand years.

As the deep-purple Thousand Year Soul Ring condensed into shape,

Ye Yu immediately sat cross-legged, summoned his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul, closed his eyes, and began cultivating the Inner Elixir Method.

Under the effects of the Inner Elixir Method,

Ye Yu entered a state of Unity of Heaven and Man. His spirit seemed to merge with the small world around him, tempering itself through constant resonance.

The Soul Power within his body circulated rapidly, while his blood and vital energy grew ever stronger through continuous circulation.

As his Soul Power circulated,

the Undying Grass's Spirit Ring was immediately drawn over, abruptly shrinking as it settled around Ye Yu's body.

In an instant, a vast surge of Soul Power flooded into Ye Yu's body.

Compared to beast-type spirit beasts,

especially spirit beasts like the Man Faced Demon Spider, with their evil and violent natures,

the Soul Power released by the Spirit Ring of the Undying Grass, as a Plant Spirit Beast, was far gentler.

But the Soul Power released by a Spirit Ring over five thousand years old was still far too immense, causing Ye Yu's body and meridians to ache with swelling pain. A pained expression appeared on his face.

"Xiao Yu!"

At the side, Dugu Bo was anxious and worried, yet he had no idea what to do.

However, Ye Yu merely wore a pained expression.

Though his body and meridians hurt terribly from the river-like torrent of immense Soul Power released by the Undying Grass's Spirit Ring, it was entirely within his capacity to endure.

After all, Ye Yu had not merely undergone Ice Fire Body Tempering with the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.

He had also received the enhancement of the life force released by the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone

when he fused with it.

Beyond that, Ye Yu had spent more than a year consuming Whale Rubber to strengthen his body.

And for over seven years, he had diligently cultivated the Inner Elixir Method every day, gaining further strengthening from circulating his blood and vital energy.

Although absorbing the Undying Grass's Spirit Ring was not easy,

after completing the absorption,

Ye Yu felt that his physical constitution had improved significantly once again!

"Xiao Yu, you succeeded!"

Upon seeing that Ye Yu had actually successfully absorbed the Spirit Ring of this five-thousand-year Undying Grass,

Dugu Bo could not help becoming wildly excited and overjoyed, bursting into hearty laughter.

"A five-thousand-year First Spirit Ring!"

"Even those from the Qian Family of the legendary Six-Winged Angel Family in Spirit Hall, with Innate Soul Power as high as level twenty, probably couldn't accomplish such a beginning!"

"My Xiao Yu's future will surely be limitless!"

If Dugu Bo had merely acknowledged Ye Yu before,

then now, he was incomparably satisfied with him.

He was even immensely glad that he had not ruthlessly killed Ye Yu back then,

but had instead chosen to give him a chance, allowing him to grow to this point.

Yanyan truly had good judgment!

She had actually picked out such a promising prospect, a golden-turtle grandson-in-law, for this old man!

Dugu Bo felt tremendously pleased with himself.

"Xiao Yu, hurry and see what your First Spirit Skill is!"

Once his excitement and joy had subsided, Dugu Bo immediately wanted to see the First Spirit Skill that Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine had gained after Ye Yu absorbed the Undying Grass.

"Alright, Grandpa."

After getting to his feet, Ye Yu also felt somewhat expectant.

He stretched out his hand and summoned the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul once more.

For a moment, blue-silver light flickered.

A Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul instantly appeared. Its entire body was as crystalline and translucent as blue crystal, its long, narrow leaves and vines filled with golden threads, while scarlet-red and icy-blue patterns coiled across its surface.

After absorbing the Undying Grass's Spirit Ring,

because the Undying Grass had no stem, only leaves and a developed root system,

the thickness of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine did not change much, and its long, narrow leaves merely became more fleshy.

However, its roots had grown thick, developed rootlets.

"It grew roots?"

Ye Yu was undoubtedly delighted by the changes in the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine.

Because growing roots meant that the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine's vitality had become even more tenacious.

This was precisely the change he had hoped to see by attaching a Plant Spirit Beast Spirit Ring with the Life Attribute.

Immediately afterward, before Dugu Bo, Ye Yu activated his First Spirit Skill.

After the First Spirit Skill was activated,

the developed rootlets of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine in Ye Yu's hand began growing wildly, burrowing deep into the earth and continuously splitting apart and spreading.

They began madly absorbing nutrients from the earth, converting them into Soul Power and life force.

After taking root, the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul also began growing wildly.

Yet Ye Yu sensed that not much of the Soul Power within his body had been consumed.

After testing it,

Ye Yu finally understood the effect of his First Spirit Skill.

He named his First Spirit Skill: Undying Rooting!

After activating the spirit skill,

the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine would drive its roots deep into the earth, absorb the earth's nutrients, convert them into Soul Power and life force, reduce the Soul Master's Soul Power consumption, and begin growing wildly.

It would also gain the Undying Grass's undying ability and recovery speed.

Even if it were torn into countless pieces, the fragments could rapidly grow new Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines, produce roots, and continue taking root underground.

It would not consume much of Ye Yu's Soul Power.

"Your spirit skill is way too ridiculous!"

After experiencing Ye Yu's First Spirit Skill of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine, Undying Rooting,

Dugu Bo found that the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul's wildly growing, constantly coiling attacks

could not be escaped through Soul Power and physical strength alone.

He was left in a sorry state by the wildly growing Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine that continually coiled around him.

In the end, he could only reluctantly use a spirit skill to finally break free.

This made Old Poison Master complain endlessly.

Physical attacks were completely useless against this wildly growing Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine.

Perhaps only energy attacks such as ice or fire could deal with it completely.

He, a dignified Titled Douluo, had actually suffered a minor loss at the hands of a child.

What a ridiculous spirit skill!

After absorbing his first Spirit Ring,

Ye Yu tested his Soul Power again.

Sure enough, his cultivation had directly reached level twenty!

Ye Yu was not surprised in the least.

Back at Nuoding Academy, when he had just entered the fifth year, his cultivation had already broken through to level ten.

Although he had not chosen to hunt a Spirit Ring afterward and advance to Soul Master,

Ye Yu had still continued cultivating diligently.

Later, he had even fused with the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone.

He had also consumed the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot to undergo Ice Fire Body Tempering.

Although consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot to undergo Ice Fire Body Tempering

primarily strengthened the body,

granting immunity to ice and fire energy at their extreme levels,

it did not increase cultivation.

In the original story, after Tang San consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot and completed Ice Fire Body Tempering,

his cultivation had not improved either.

But even a single immortal herb like the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot could allow a level thirty-three or level thirty-four Soul Elder to directly break through to level forty.

Not to mention Ye Yu, a level ten Soul Warrior.

When Dugu Bo discovered that Ye Yu's cultivation had directly reached level twenty after absorbing his first Spirit Ring,

he clicked his tongue in amazement, though he was not overly surprised.

Afterward, he continued leading Ye Yu through the Star Dou Great Forest,

searching for suitable, powerful Plant Spirit Beasts with the Life Attribute.

After absorbing the Spirit Ring of the five-thousand-year Undying Grass and breaking through to level twenty,

Ye Yu raised the target age of his second Spirit Ring to seven thousand years!

Within the Star Dou Great Forest,

after searching for nearly half a month,

one night,

Dugu Bo and Ye Yu found a Starlight Tree that had cultivated for more than seven thousand three hundred years.

It was an exceptionally rare Plant Spirit Beast. It possessed the Life Attribute, as well as the Star Attribute, and had extraordinarily tenacious vitality and immensely powerful recovery abilities!
