Still Enduring? Then What Was the Point of Cultivating?

"By now, Ye Yu, you should already be a Soul Grandmaster, right?"

Beneath Ye Lingling's waterfall-like deep-blue hair, her deep-blue eyes quietly gazed at Ye Yu. A faint, tranquil smile appeared on her pretty face as she replied in her cool voice.

As good sisters, Ye Lingling naturally knew about it.

A year ago, Dugu Yan's cultivation had suddenly risen.

She had originally been a level-twenty Soul Warrior breaking through to level twenty-one Soul Grandmaster.

But she had suddenly become a level-thirty Soul Grandmaster breaking through to level thirty-one Soul Elder.

Of course, Ye Lingling had asked Dugu Yan how her cultivation had suddenly increased so much.

Dugu Yan's answer had been:

Her grandfather, Dugu Bo, had happened to acquire several precious Ten Thousand Year Ginseng Kings.

Besides giving her one, he had also given one to Ye Yu.

Using it, Ye Yu had found an opportunity to evolve his martial soul once more and was currently in seclusion, cultivating bitterly.

Judging Ye Yu's advancement from Dugu Yan's, Ye Lingling had thought that breaking through from a level-ten Soul Warrior to a Soul Grandmaster in his twenties would have been about right.

"Hehe, too low, too low!"

Ye Yu chuckled and shook his head.

"It's a whole major realm higher than that!"

"And this time, A Yu successfully evolved his Blue Silver Vine martial soul again, into the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine!"

At the side, Dugu Yan giggled and spoke with great pride.

"A Soul Elder?"

"And Ye Yu's martial soul evolved successfully again?"

Ye Lingling froze for a moment, murmuring in disbelief.

In the past, Ye Yu had wanted to use the Spirit Ring Origin Completion Evolution Theory to evolve his Blue Silver Vine martial soul.

So he had constantly searched for the most suitable Plant Spirit Beasts.

That way, his Blue Silver Vine martial soul could receive better enhancement and perhaps even evolve.

This had kept Ye Yu from absorbing a spirit ring and breaking through, suppressing his spirit power at level ten.

Because of this, in their class,

quite a few students had gossiped about him.

Many of them had been disdainful and contemptuous, believing Ye Yu was indulging in fantasy and dreaming the impossible.

It was already fortunate enough for a Blue Silver Grass martial soul to evolve even once!

That was incredibly good luck!

He should have just cultivated diligently afterward.

Yet he still dreamed of studying how to evolve his martial soul again.

What a joke!

If martial souls could evolve so easily, wouldn't powerful people be everywhere?!

Yet now, Ye Yu had unexpectedly become a powerful Soul Elder in one stroke.

He had even successfully evolved his martial soul once again.

From now on, they definitely would not dare mock Ye Yu or speak ill of him anymore!

Ye Lingling was also truly happy for Ye Yu.

"Ye Yu, congratulations!"

Seeing Dugu Yan holding Ye Yu's arm, her stunningly beautiful face, both glamorous and heroic, filled with proud and delighted smiles,

Ye Lingling could not help feeling a little sour inside.

Still, she parted her cherry-red lips and offered her sincere congratulations in her cool voice.

Yet deep down, she remained unbearably sad.

Why!

I was clearly the one who came first. Why wasn't I the one Ye Yu liked?

I also wanted to be able to openly stay by Ye Yu's side and share his happiness and joy!

After they joined up,

Ye Yu and Dugu Yan arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Ye Lingling.

They entered a new class.

Because Ye Yu had cultivated for a year at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

they had now advanced to the third year of the intermediate academy division.

After Ye Yu entered the classroom with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling,

the somewhat noisy classroom instantly fell silent.

Many gazes turned toward Ye Yu in unison.

There was ridicule, amusement, and sympathy among them.

In the classroom,

Ye Yu immediately noticed

a youth who looked fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore a set of luxurious blue robes, with a tall and upright build, golden hair, handsome features, and an imposing bearing.

"A Yu, that's Yu Tianheng!"

As Ye Yu looked at Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan leaned close to his ear and whispered.

At that moment, a youth beside Yu Tianheng also quietly told him,

"Boss, that's Ye Yu!"

Hearing this, Yu Tianheng immediately revealed a cold smile. Folding his arms, he looked at Ye Yu with eyes full of provocation.

"Ye Yu, you finally dared to come back!"

"You took leave for the entire year last year."

"Classmate Dugu Yan said you were in seclusion cultivating, and that you had found a way for our martial souls to evolve again."

"But from what I see! You only learned that Classmate Yu Tianheng was pursuing Classmate Dugu Yan, felt inferior, and didn't dare come to the academy to face it!"

"After all, you're just a Blue Silver Grass soul master with Innate Level 1 Spirit Power, utter trash, and you come from a poor peasant family."

"But Classmate Yu Tianheng is the grandson of Your Excellency Thunder Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the future clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Compared to Classmate Yu Tianheng, you're as different as clouds and mud!"

"With such a disparity, instead of hiding at home and crying, how dare you return to the academy?"

Because Yu Tianheng was the grandson of Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,

countless people naturally wanted to flatter and attach themselves to him after he enrolled at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

And after learning that Yu Tianheng wanted to pursue Dugu Yan,

countless people naturally wanted to curry favor with him by helping him win Dugu Yan over.

And by putting Ye Yu down.

Thus, a youth immediately stood up and sneered mockingly.

But Ye Yu could not be bothered with him. He directly raised a hand and summoned his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul, using it as a whip.

With a single lash, he struck the youth hard across the face.

Amid a crisp smack!

a red welt appeared on the youth's face.

With a scream,

he was sent flying, crashing heavily into a desk and chair near Yu Tianheng, leaving him sprawled in disarray.

As the saying went, even when beating a dog, one had to consider its owner!

Ye Yu had actually dared to attack the lackey who had spoken up for him.

Yu Tianheng immediately rose to his feet and shouted coldly.

"Classmate Ye Yu, although this classmate said some things that may not have sounded very pleasant to you,"

"isn't it a little too excessive to hit someone just because of a disagreement?"

But Ye Yu did not spare Yu Tianheng so much as a glance. He looked directly at the entire class and sneered.

"I'm back!"

"Believe it or not, I spent last year in seclusion cultivating and evolving my martial soul!"

"But I never expected some shameless bastard to take the chance to poach my girlfriend."

"My girlfriend already said she had a boyfriend, yet he still shamelessly refused to give up."

"And all of you, currying favor with the powerful, harassed my girlfriend while belittling and despising me."

"Now, I'm right here."

"Didn't you look down on me and call me a Blue Silver Grass trash with Innate Level 1 Spirit Power?"

"I'll say it right here: all of you who look down on me and think I'm trash, I'll be waiting for you on the training field!"

"Let this piece of trash see just how strong you really are!"

"Don't let it turn out that you're not even as good as this trash!"

After mocking them, Ye Yu took Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling and turned to leave.

He had never expected that while he underwent Ice Fire Body Tempering at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well last year,

all this had happened.

His girlfriend, Dugu Yan, had been relentlessly pestered by Yu Tianheng, while these petty sycophants had harassed her.

And people had gossiped about him behind his back.

Before, he had lacked the strength.

When something like this happened, he could only endure it.

But now that he had strength and backing,

keep enduring?

Then all the life-threatening risks he had taken, all the times he had gambled with his life and seized every opportunity to cultivate this far—

wouldn't that all have been for nothing?

This time, every last one of them would receive a ruthless lesson from him!

Through this, he would completely erase the weak image people had once had of him!
