Blue Silver Grass Versus Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon

"Teacher Lin Mu, the Soul Master Competition is no joke. They're so young—how much Soul Power could they possibly have? We can't bring along two deadweights, can we?"

Dugu Yan had already been holding back a ball of anger. Now that Lin Mu wanted to arrange for two new team members, she became even more dissatisfied.

If this continued, her and Yu Tianheng's positions in the Imperial Dou Team would sooner or later be replaced.

Yu Tianheng and the others remained silent, more or less agreeing with Dugu Yan. These two looked no older than thirteen or fourteen. They definitely could not have reached level thirty.

For the Imperial Dou Team, where every member was a Soul Elder, adding two Soul Grandmasters would not improve their overall strength. Instead, they would become a burden.

Lin Mu glanced at Dugu Yan and said blandly, "Whether they're deadweights or not, we'll find out by trying."

"I'll try them." Dugu Yan's gaze turned cold as it settled on Tang San. "You, little brother."

Tang San did not immediately accept the challenge. Instead, he looked to his master, waiting for his arrangement.

"No. Your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom won't work on Tang San."

At those words, Dugu Yan was instantly furious. This bastard actually dared to look down on her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom.

But that was indeed the truth. Lin Mu truly did not regard Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom as a threat. If it were Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom, he would need to be somewhat wary.

Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom alone posed no threat to Tang San at all.

Since Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom could not be brought into play, Dugu Yan's strength would be greatly reduced. Even if her Soul Power Level was higher, she could not possibly be Tang San's match.

Lin Mu then pointed at Yu Tianheng, the team captain, and said calmly, "Tang San, spar with him."

Hearing this arrangement, Yu Tianheng froze. Was there some mistake? He was actually being asked to personally test a new team member's strength.

"Yes, Master."

Tang San stepped out from behind Lin Mu and looked calmly at Yu Tianheng.

To ensure that Yu Tianheng was at his peak, Lin Mu turned his gaze toward Ye Lingling at the back of the team. "Lingling, heal him."

"Okay, Brother Lin Mu."

Ye Lingling obediently answered, her voice soft and sweet, completely different from her usual cold demeanor.

Hearing that intimate form of address, everyone present was stunned. Their suspicious gazes swept back and forth between Ye Lingling and Lin Mu.

This new team leader actually knew Ye Lingling, the quietest member of the team, and their relationship seemed far from ordinary?

Under everyone's astonished gazes, Ye Lingling had already summoned her Nine Heart Begonia.

Accompanied by a faint fragrance, a beam of white light descended from above, turning into petal-shaped fragments that drifted onto Yu Tianheng and quietly merged into his body.

In just a short while, the tight pain in Yu Tianheng's chest rapidly faded.

Seeing that the new team leader had already made up his mind, Yu Tianheng said nothing further. At worst, he would hold back a little later and not let the other boy lose too badly.

Soon, Tang San and Yu Tianheng entered the arena.

"Yu Tianheng. Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Level thirty-nine Assault System Battle Soul Elder."

"Tang San. Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Level thirty-four Control System Battle Soul Elder."

"What? Level thirty-four?!"

Yu Tianheng cried out in shock, his eyes widening round with disbelief written all over his face.

This blue-haired youth before him looked no older than thirteen or fourteen, yet he had cultivated to level thirty-four. It was simply absurd!

Even with Innate Full Soul Power, he should not have advanced this quickly.

Moreover, his Martial Soul was the most ordinary, most useless Blue Silver Grass. This was a downright slap in the face!

What was the use of possessing the finest Beast Martial Soul? He could not even compare to a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master. For a moment, Yu Tianheng could not help wondering whether he himself was trash.

"To have cultivated to level thirty-four at such an age, Brother Lin, your disciple is remarkably gifted."

Xue Qinghe looked at Lin Mu beside her and praised him.

Compared to the members of the Imperial Dou Team, Xue Qinghe was not particularly shocked. She had witnessed Lin Mu's talent not long ago, after all, and her ability to take such surprises had improved by a great deal.

"Your Highness flatters him. Soul Power Level does not represent strength."

Lin Mu's expression remained calm.

Hearing that, Yu Tianheng finally regained his spirit.

That was right. His Martial Soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. So what if Tang San cultivated quickly? A mere Blue Silver Grass would only be crushed by him.

The battle was on the verge of erupting. Tang San moved first, controlling Blue Silver Grass as he launched his attack.

Facing those feeble Blue Silver Grass vines, a trace of disdain flashed through Yu Tianheng's eyes. He immediately used his first Soul Skill, and his right arm instantly transformed into a Thunder Dragon Claw, easily tearing the Blue Silver Grass before him into pieces.

After being strengthened by three Soul Rings, the quality of the Blue Silver Grass was no longer weak. But compared with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, it was still far inferior.

Seeing that his attack had no effect, Tang San decisively changed tactics, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to widen the distance.

At the same time, Blue Silver Grass continuously surged from the ground and coiled toward Yu Tianheng's legs. Even though it was easily melted apart by the powerful lightning, it still effectively slowed his advance.

With the advantage of his Soul Power Level and Martial Soul quality, Yu Tianheng smoothly seized the initiative. Lightning ran rampant, forcing Tang San to evade again and again.

Yet Tang San always responded appropriately, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to keep his distance while employing Blue Silver Grass to interfere with Yu Tianheng.

Once he had opened up a certain distance, the second Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Pluck Flowers Flying Leaves!"

Tang San continuously flicked the Leaf Blades on the Blue Silver Grass, his hands moving with the dazzling speed of a thousand-armed Guanyin.

These Blue Silver Grass Leaf Blades, coated in pale golden Ice Crystal Cuticle and sharp along their edges, shot toward Yu Tianheng like a torrential downpour.

The Leaf Blades were numerous and specifically targeted relatively vulnerable areas such as his joints, greatly disrupting Yu Tianheng's rhythm and forcing him to divide his attention between defending and dodging.

"Damn it!"

Yu Tianheng tried to force his way forward, but Tang San's control and attacks worked in perfect coordination, giving him no chance to get close.

"Wrath of Thunder!"

Under the enhancement of his third Soul Skill, Yu Tianheng's attack power and lightning attribute greatly increased, directly blasting apart the surrounding Blue Silver Grass.

"In the end, it's only Blue Silver Grass."

Yu Tianheng sneered. With an explosive step, he charged at Tang San at tremendous speed. Even the continuously incoming Leaf Blades could not stop his advance.

However, just as he prepared to end the battle, he failed to notice that several Blue Silver Grass vines beneath his feet had not been destroyed.

In an instant, several exceptionally thick Blue Silver Grass vines sprang from the ground, tightly wrapping around his legs as they instantly crystallized.

Under the enhancement of the first Soul Skill, the Blue Silver Grass's defensive power greatly increased. Even Yu Tianheng at full strength was tripped and thrown to the ground.

In that flash of lightning, Tang San's figure closed in like a ghost, a Leaf Blade pinched between his fingers and held against Yu Tianheng's throat.

Clearly, the victor had been decided!

Looking at Tang San standing over him, Yu Tianheng's expression was dazed.

He had actually lost—to a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master whose Soul Power was five levels lower than his and who was several years younger.
