Yu Tianheng's Challenge

"What the hell are these vines? Why can't they be cut at all?!"

"Same with my flames—they won't burn!"

"How can there be so many of them?!"

The Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines that suddenly burst from the ground surrounded the area like an entire Blue Silver Forest.

The countless vines shimmered with colors as magnificent as a starry sky, crystal-clear like blue crystals. As they grew at an explosive pace, they lashed out and coiled around everyone wildly.

The male and female students were furious and alarmed, continuously unleashing all kinds of spirit skills.

Some struck with staffs, slashed with blades, or chopped with axes. Others unleashed flames, wind blades, and energy blasts.

They tried to snap or shatter the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines that kept winding toward them.

But the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines, clear as blue crystal and wrapped in icy-blue, crimson-red, and lightning-like patterns, were unimaginably tough. They seemed impervious to both water and fire.

None of their spirit skill attacks, whether physical or energy-based, could do anything to the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines.

This made the students roar in despair.

Nearby, when the onlookers saw Ye Yu summon the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines—

In an instant, he had actually summoned a dense forest of Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines.

Everyone watching was stunned.

No way!

Even if you're a Soul Elder, can your spirit power really sustain summoning such a huge mass of vine spirits?!

Everyone felt that this simply defied common sense.

Had Ye Yu used up all his spirit power at once?!

But naturally, they did not know.

Ye Yu's First Spirit Skill, Undying Rooting, and Second Spirit Skill, Starlight Absorption, could both reduce the spirit power consumed by his summoned Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine spirit.

They could also accelerate the growth and recovery of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines.

Furthermore, the Second Spirit Skill, Starlight Absorption, could feed the absorbed and converted spirit power back into Ye Yu's body.

It helped Ye Yu recover his spirit power.

This made Ye Yu's spirit power far more enduring than that of an ordinary spirit master!

If an ordinary spirit master's spirit power were measured in grams—

Then Ye Yu's spirit power could be measured in kilograms.

That was the difference!

Within the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine forest Ye Yu had summoned—

Facing the densely packed Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines as they whipped and coiled toward them in a frenzy—

The male and female students who had sought to curry favor with Yu Tianheng could not even cut through or shatter the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines.

They could not even trigger the terrifying secondary growth and recovery ability of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines.

With furious and despairing expressions, they were soon whipped by the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines until their faces were bruised and swollen, their noses bled, and some had even lost several teeth.

In the end, they were miserably and pathetically bound up like dumplings.

Countless Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines continued twisting around one another.

They soon formed a massive Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine tree over five meters in diameter, shooting straight into the sky.

It rose from the ground and grew more than ten meters tall.

More than a dozen bruised and swollen students were wrapped into dumpling-like bundles and dangled from the "canopy" like fruit. Terrified by the height, they let out shrill screams one after another.

Some fainted from fright, while others wet themselves.

"Fuck!"

Outside the crowd of spectators—

Yu Feng stared wide-eyed at the enormous Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine tree that had risen from the ground, formed from countless intertwined Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines and hung with battered people.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally cursed.

"What kind of freak is this?!"

"Is he really a Soul Elder? How can he have so much spirit power?!"

"His spirit looks like it really evolved once. Those guys hacked at it and burned it, but it did nothing. It feels like it's already reached the level of a high-grade spirit."

"A plant spirit of this quality should consume an enormous amount of spirit power to maintain in large numbers."

"How could he summon so many vine spirits that look like blue crystal all at once? Does his spirit power grow on trees?!"

"And he can even control the vines, weave them into such a huge tree, and hang those guys from it."

"That level of control is freakish too!"

"No wonder he managed to win over Dugu Yan and is so close to Ye Lingling!"

"This guy must be some hidden monster!"

Beside him, Osler, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo were equally shocked by the spectacular Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine tree Ye Yu had created.

Damn it! This guy!!

Yu Tianheng had thought Ye Yu was being arrogantly overconfident by challenging so many people alone.

He had been certain Ye Yu would make a complete fool of himself.

Most likely, he would end up beaten badly and left in a miserable state.

Then Dugu Yan would have no choice but to step in and resolve the situation.

At that point, he could come forward and let Dugu Yan see Ye Yu's true colors, making her understand that he was the one who was truly well-matched with her, the one destined for her!

But Ye Yu had unexpectedly crushed those people with ease. Yu Tianheng's face immediately turned exceptionally ugly, and he was filled with shock and fury.

He simply could not believe it.

Wasn't Ye Yu an ordinary commoner whose spirit was the Blue Silver Grass with Innate Level 1 Spirit Power?!

Even if a trash spirit like Blue Silver Grass evolved twice, what could it possibly amount to?

But why were this guy's blue crystal-like vine spirits so tough that they could not be cut apart by blades or burned by fire?

This had to be a joke!

Yet no matter how shocked and furious he was, the facts were right before him.

But Yu Tianheng was unwilling to accept it.

No!

This time, I have to let Dugu Yan know.

I'm the one who is truly well-matched with her, the one destined for her!

Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, filled with rage as he decided to challenge Ye Yu.

He would use his strength to prove that he was more outstanding than Ye Yu!

Although Ye Yu had just demonstrated his strength, with those densely packed Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines forming an incredibly tough Blue Silver Forest that blades and swords could barely harm—

In Yu Tianheng's eyes—

Those people were those people. He was him!

The classmates trying to curry favor with him had, at most, mid-to-high-grade spirits, and their cultivation was only at the level of newly advanced Soul Grand Masters.

If Ye Yu's Blue Silver Grass spirit had truly evolved twice in succession—

Judging from its blue crystal-like appearance, it had clearly reached the level of a high-grade spirit.

Combined with his Soul Elder-level strength—

Ye Yu must have used up more than half his spirit power at once to summon so many vine spirits and overwhelmingly defeat those people.

That was perfectly normal.

But his, Yu Tianheng's, spirit was the top-tier Beast Spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. His cultivation was also at the Soul Elder level.

And after Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit masters reached the Soul Elder realm—

They would gain the ability of Dragon Transformation.

That was equivalent to possessing one more enhancement-type spirit skill than everyone else.

With such an advantage, how could he lose!

This time, the advantage is mine!

"Ye Yu, I challenge you!"

Looking at Ye Yu standing beside the enormous Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine tree on the large training field, Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, strode forward, and issued his challenge.

Ye Yu could not help but pause in surprise when Yu Tianheng unexpectedly came to challenge him.

"A Yu, don't accept it!"

Beside him, Dugu Yan frowned slightly and gave a soft snort. She directly wrapped her jade-like hand around Ye Yu's right arm.

She was about to take Ye Yu away.
