Humans Who Use Hammers Are the Worst!

Hearing the Blue Silver Emperor's words, Ye Yang felt reassured.

From level 54 to level 59, she would have to advance five levels.

Even with the Blue Silver Emperor's talent, that should take a year or two.

He would work hard and strive to reach ten or twenty thousand years of cultivation while the Blue Silver Emperor protected him over the next year or two!

Perhaps he could even attain a higher level of Soul Power cultivation!

With his mind at ease, Ye Yang was in the mood for conversation again. "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, Your Majesty."

"I'll introduce myself first. We plant Soul Beasts all love sunlight."

"And we Blue Silver Grass are mostly leaves."

"I'll call myself Ye Yang."

"Ye Yang, Ye Yang..." the Blue Silver Emperor murmured. "Mm, a good name!"

"Your intelligence really is extraordinary."

"But I don't have a name yet."

"The other Blue Silver Grass call me 'Your Majesty' too, just like you."

Ye Yang was about to suggest that she call herself "Ah Yin."

But the Blue Silver Emperor stopped and said, "All right, we're here."

Ye Yang gathered his spiritual power and swept it over the surroundings. He was immediately satisfied.

The Blue Silver Emperor had crossed the entire mixed zone. This was the border between the mixed zone and the outer zone.

Though there was far less Soul Power here than at the border between the mixed zone and the core zone on the other side,

there were very few dangerous Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and most were Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

There were also quite a few Hundred-Year Soul Beasts roaming in groups.

This put some pressure on Ye Yang, but it gave him even more motivation.

There were many Soul Beasts he could hunt.

From now on, no more vegetarian food. I'm eating meat!

Ye Yang was delighted.

Back near the core zone, he could only pick on plant Soul Beasts.

The animal Soul Beasts there were routinely ten or twenty thousand years old, or even thirty to fifty thousand years old. He couldn't possibly eat them.

From now on, this place near the outer zone would be his hunting ground!

To hunt animal Soul Beasts, his main weapons would naturally be his leaves.

From now on, he would not only have to keep cultivating his roots to stay safe, but also make his nine leaves longer, thicker, and harder, turning them into deadly weapons.

Ye Yang pondered and made plans for the future.

Soul Beasts were different from humans. They couldn't keep gaining Soul Skills as they grew older.

Their skills were innate, and they only had one or two in their entire lives.

Even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts only had two or three.

They relied on one good trick to get them through everything.

Their innate Soul Power grew stronger as their Soul Power increased.

Blue Silver Grass was such trash that it had almost no innate skills.

But Ye Yang was now fundamentally different from other Blue Silver Grass. His vitality was exceptionally vigorous.

The Blue Silver Emperor had transformed this ability even further: "Wildfire cannot burn it out; the spring breeze brings it back to life." It was practically an undying body!

Even if she killed herself, she would revive after seven times seven, or forty-nine days, restored to her peak.

Even if she sacrificed herself, she could leave behind a seed and start over.

Ye Yang had the bloodline of a Blue Silver Quasi-King, so naturally he wasn't quite that extraordinary.

But as he was now, even a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would have a hard time killing him.

But that didn't mean squat.

Taking a beating all the time wasn't Ye Yang's style.

He needed an attack skill!

That was also his system's ability: Double Skill Replication.

As Ye Yang pondered, he put down roots again in his new territory.

He stretched out his roots and claimed the ground for hundreds of meters around as his territory.

He spared the little weeds, though. They were just mosquito meat.

But he devoured the trees one after another, and their Soul Power was considerable.

"Your Majesty, do you have any attack skills?"

Ye Yang asked through a voice transmission, somewhat expectant.

He remembered that after the Blue Silver Emperor sacrificed herself, the Soul Bone she left behind had two support skills: Wildfire Cannot Burn It Out and flight.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul's only attack skill in Tang San's possession was the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

The Blue Silver Emperor had been earnestly teaching Ye Yang how to absorb the Soul Power of heaven and earth more efficiently.

But when she heard him ask about her attack skills, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She shook her head and sighed softly. "Xiao Yang, you've awakened the dark attribute, a rare trait among our Blue Silver Grass, and your devouring ability is very powerful."

"Though that makes your cultivation swift, it is bound to cause too much killing."

"Now you want attack skills as well, so..."

She didn't finish. She only shook her head and sighed, unable to bear it.

This time, Ye Yang didn't stand on ceremony with the Blue Silver Emperor. He scoffed. "A woman's misplaced kindness!"

He had to correct the Blue Silver Emperor's excessively kind mindset.

At the very least, he couldn't let her kindness affect him.

Otherwise, if she became a sanctimonious bitch, neither of them would die a good death!

"Your Majesty, let me tell you a story."

"Long ago, there was a highly talented man with a hammer Martial Soul."

"While he was out training, he met a kind hundred-thousand-year-old alpaca who had taken human form, and the two got together."

"The man with the hammer Martial Soul and the alpaca went into seclusion, lived a simple life, and stopped fighting."

"However, Spirit Hall found them and wanted to hunt the alpaca for her Soul Ring."

"You can guess how it ended. The alpaca was killed, and the man with the hammer Martial Soul was crippled in both body and mind."

"Do you understand?"

The Blue Silver Emperor bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Her expression shifted, torn with indecision.

At last, she sighed softly.

"Alas, you're right."

"In the great forest, I've seen plenty of fighting and killing between humans and Soul Beasts, between Soul Beasts, and between humans."

"I really have no right to demand that you cultivate the way I want. That wouldn't be fair to you either."

Ye Yang smiled. "Don't worry, I won't kill the innocent."

"Besides, what I wanted to tell you with that story is that the man with the hammer Martial Soul wasn't a good person!"

Uh...

The Blue Silver Emperor's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Ye Yang in astonishment.

What kind of logic was that?

"I hadn't finished the story."

"The alpaca and the man with the hammer Martial Soul had a child."

"Before the alpaca died, she asked the man to take good care of their child."

"But after his wife died, the man became utterly useless!"

The Blue Silver Emperor's heart softened, and she said gently, "He loved his wife so much. That's understandable."

Ye Yang sneered. "Heh, understandable?"

"First, because he offended Spirit Hall, his father died soon afterward, furious and distressed."

"His clan and sect also shut themselves away because of it. They completely lost their former glory and huddled on a mountain, struggling to survive."

Ye Yang paused briefly, then continued, "That aside,"

"he was a peerless genius of his generation and a top expert, yet he didn't go to Spirit Hall for revenge!"

"If he loved his wife so much, and didn't care about his own life, why didn't he take revenge?"

"With his strength, he could surely have dealt Spirit Hall a heavy blow."

"Besides, he left the Soul Bone his wife left behind in the forest. Why didn't he keep it with him?"

"His so-called companionship was just a joke. He spent most of his time with wine jars."

The Blue Silver Emperor ventured, "Then he must have treated his child well, right?"

"After all, that was his wife's dying wish."

"And the child was the fruit of their love."

Ye Yang burst out laughing. "That's the biggest pain in the balls... Oh, you don't know what that means. That's the most speechless part."

"He took his son to live in seclusion in a small village, drank all day, and lived in poverty."

"The child started cooking and doing housework when he was only four or five."

"By six, he was already skilled at smithing!"

"Not only did he get no care from his father, he had to take care of him instead."

"Even the old village chief, who was in his seventies or eighties, took better care of the child than his own father did."

The Blue Silver Emperor's mouth fell slightly open. She was shocked, disappointed, and filled with loathing.

What kind of man was that?

He was far too irresponsible!

Ye Yang swayed his leaves and raised one in front of the Blue Silver Emperor.

"First, his father died early because of him. That makes him unfilial."

A second leaf reached out in front of the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Second, he wronged his clan and sect. That makes him disloyal."

A third leaf reached out.

"Third, he didn't dare seek revenge on Spirit Hall for his wife. That makes him unrighteous."

"Fourth, the way he raised his son makes him unkind."

"Fifth, he forgot his wife's dying wish and failed to honor it. That makes him untrustworthy."

Ye Yang drew back five leaves and curled them into the shape of a fist.

"A man who's disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unrighteous, and untrustworthy-what the hell does it matter how talented he is? He's nothing but scum!"

"Besides, his talent was nothing special. He was only level 70 when he came down the mountain to train at thirty, and level 90 at forty-four, yet he dared call himself the best under heaven."

"When there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey calls himself king!"

"So, Your Majesty, do you understand?"

The Blue Silver Emperor hesitated. "I..."

Ye Yang said bluntly, "So whatever you do, stay away from men who use hammer Martial Souls!"

"Humans who use hammers are the worst!!"
