Yu Tianheng's Despair

Under the witness of everyone watching nearby.

Ye Yu and Yu Tianheng stood in an open area of the main training ground, more than ten meters apart.

Before the spirit battle began.

With a thought, Ye Yu dispelled the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine Tree formed from countless Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines tangled together not far away.

For a moment, as the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine Tree burst into countless silver-blue motes of light.

The male and female students, battered and bruised, who had been bound into dumpling-like bundles by the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines and hung from the tree's "canopy" like fruit, all fell down and landed face-first in the dirt.

Every one of them was in a miserable state, screaming and wailing without end.

But neither Yu Tianheng nor Ye Yu, nor anyone else.

Paid any attention to them.

No one liked people who chased power and wealth, thinking only of currying favor with and clinging to others.

Not even the people being clung to!

"How much spirit power do you have left?"

"If it isn't enough, I can wait until you've recovered before we start the spirit battle!"

Before the battle began, Yu Tianheng asked.

Born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the grandson of Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, he possessed a noble status and had been admired and fawned over by those around him since childhood.

This had given Yu Tianheng an arrogant temperament.

He simply disdained people of low status who lacked sufficient talent and strength.

Only those whose status, talent, and strength were comparable to his—or even surpassed his—

Could earn equal treatment from Yu Tianheng, or even make him regard them highly.

But it was precisely because of this arrogant nature that Yu Tianheng possessed pride and self-respect of his own.

With so many people watching.

Yu Tianheng did not want to win.

Only to have people say he had taken advantage of his opponent!

In any case, Yu Tianheng had absolute confidence in his victory.

However, Ye Yu merely shook his head.

"No need!"

"My spirit power is sufficient. There's no need to waste time. Let's begin directly!"

Yu Tianheng's handsome face stiffened slightly, and irritation rose in his heart.

This guy was putting on too much of an act!

You refused to recover your spirit power yourself.

Don't blame me, then!

"Fine! Then let's begin directly!"

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Martial Soul Possession!"

Yu Tianheng shouted first, summoning the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.

In an instant, silver-blue lightning burst from his body.

Amid a dragon's roar.

A massive dragon martial soul appeared—a silver-blue body seemingly wreathed in electricity, wings on its back, four sharp dragon claws, a long and sturdy neck, and a majestic, domineering dragon head.

Then it possessed him.

After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul possessed him.

Unlike the transformations experienced by most Soul Masters after Beast Spirit possession.

A dazzling blue radiance bloomed from Yu Tianheng's forehead, coursing rapidly through his body like lightning.

Yu Tianheng's body immediately shot upward, his muscles swelling all over.

His right arm expanded and lengthened at incredible speed, bursting through his sleeve and transforming into a dragon arm covered in Soul Coin-sized silver-blue dragon scales, with enormous, razor-sharp claws.

At the same time, three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple—rose from beneath his feet and actually encircled that savage dragon arm.

Interesting!

Seeing Yu Tianheng's transformation, Ye Yu was quite intrigued.

The Dragon Transformation ability of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan truly was unique!

As Yu Tianheng summoned the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and underwent possession.

Ye Yu also extended his right hand.

Amid silver-blue light, he summoned the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul.

After summoning the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul.

Ye Yu immediately aimed his palm forward and activated the First Spirit Skill: Undying Rooting, and the Second Spirit Skill: Starlight Absorption.

Under Ye Yu's control.

The Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul in his hand instantly began growing at high speed. From its main stem split out vine after vine, each like blue crystal, gleaming with gorgeous starry silver-blue light tinged with purple. Wrapped around them were icy-blue and crimson patterns, along with lightning patterns. Like spiritual snakes, they shot forth and plunged fiercely into the ground.

Once they struck the ground, the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines immediately displayed the properties of Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.

Their tips turned as sharp as spears, easily boring deep underground.

Because the twenty-thousand-year Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma fourth spirit ring had granted the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine the ability for each of its parts to grow independently.

This allowed the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine's First Spirit Skill, Undying Rooting, to grow from every part of the vines!

Thus, after countless Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines plunged underground.

Countless roots began growing wildly, taking root deep more than a hundred meters below the ground. They continuously split and spread, absorbing nutrients and converting them into life force and spirit power.

The next moment, as Ye Yu's spirit power consumption greatly decreased.

Large quantities of Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines rapidly grew, spreading underground toward Yu Tianheng's position.

At that moment, after summoning the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and undergoing possession, Yu Tianheng also let out an angry roar and instantly activated a spirit skill.

"Third Spirit Skill: Wrath of Thunder!"

In an instant, blinding lightning erupted from Yu Tianheng's body, and his aura suddenly surged.

Yu Tianheng's Wrath of Thunder placed him in a berserk state.

All spirit power increased by fifty percent, while the power of lightning spirit skills increased by one hundred percent!

But the price was that it affected his consciousness, making him irritable and prone to rage.

Put simply: it made him lose his mind easily!

And once Wrath of Thunder ended, he would enter a period of weakness.

But knowing that Ye Yu was a powerful Control System Soul Master.

Yu Tianheng knew he had to end this quickly and could not drag things out!

After activating Wrath of Thunder.

Yu Tianheng, now in a berserk state, roared as lightning coiled around his entire body. The sharp claws on his savage dragon arm spread open and raised before him as he charged explosively toward Ye Yu.

But in the very next moment, dense Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines resembling a Blue Silver Forest burst from the ground, tightly surrounding Yu Tianheng as they crazily coiled around and lashed at him.

What, was your spirit power free or something?!

Ye Yu had just summoned those dense Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines resembling a Blue Silver Forest, yet before he had even rested or recovered any spirit power.

He had actually summoned so many more Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines while fighting Yu Tianheng.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy students watching from all around were dumbfounded.

They simply could not believe it.

We're all Soul Masters.

We have spirit power, but do you have spirit tons of power or what?!

"Second Spirit Skill: Thunderous Might!"

Faced with the dense Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines surrounding him, wildly coiling and lashing at him, Yu Tianheng was also shocked, his scalp tingling.

Gritting his teeth, he roared and instantly unleashed his Second Spirit Skill.

The lightning currents wrapped around his body immediately intensified, transforming into countless lightning arrows that flashed violently in every direction, as if capable of tearing apart and blasting through anything.

These lightning arrows also carried the Power of Lightning, capable of paralyzing enemies.

Originally, under the enhancement of the Third Spirit Skill, Thunderous Rampage.

The Second Spirit Skill, Thunderous Might, could fully reach the power of a thousand-year spirit skill.

But when those countless lightning arrows struck the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines and exploded violently.

They actually failed to cause even the slightest damage to the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines—not even a trace of scorching.

No way?!

Seeing this, Yu Tianheng was practically in despair and began questioning his entire life.

This wasn't right!

This was the Second Spirit Skill of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, and I was even in the berserk state of Wrath of Thunder!

Yours is only a plant martial soul.

Even if you're a Soul Ancestor, you shouldn't be able to ignore my Thunderous Might, which is nearly as powerful as a thousand-year spirit skill!

Naturally, Yu Tianheng did not know.

That after undergoing Ice Fire Body Tempering, Ye Yu's Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial soul had acquired immunity to ice and fire energies below the ultimate level.

Or rather, immunity to high and low temperatures.

Coupled with the lightning-attribute energy attack immunity below ultimate lightning granted by the Thunderclap Netherworld Vine spirit ring.

It was simply a perfect counter to Yu Tianheng!

After Thunderous Might proved ineffective.

Countless Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines instantly coiled around Yu Tianheng's legs.

Yu Tianheng still refused to give up. Roaring furiously, he activated the First Spirit Skill: Thunder Dragon Claw. Rather than using it as a ranged attack, he applied it to his dragon arm to enhance its attack power.

He viciously swiped his dragon claws, tearing apart the incoming Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines.

But Ye Yu's true cultivation had already reached level forty-seven Soul Ancestor, and the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines had undergone repeated enhancements. Their toughness was beyond imagination.

Yu Tianheng had to use all his strength to tear apart only several Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines with a vicious swipe of his dragon claws.

But just as he exhausted his strength and used his enormous, savage dragon claws to shred those few Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines.

Something happened that filled Yu Tianheng with despair.

The next second, even more Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines grew wildly from the broken ends, directly binding Yu Tianheng's savage dragon arm tightly.

At the same time, from beneath and behind him.

Countless Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines followed close behind, instantly wrapping Yu Tianheng into a dumpling.

They wound around him layer upon layer.

Nearly encasing him in a cylinder.

Only Yu Tianheng's flushed face was left exposed, preventing him from suffocating.

"You lost!"
