Douluo: I Achieve Supremacy with Life Blue Silver Grass

In Soto City—

Ye Yu was continuing his instruction of Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling in memorizing the human meridian and acupoint diagrams.

Since studying meridians required rote memorization more than comprehension, Ye Yu personally guided them, using hands-on instruction to indicate the locations and functions of the major meridians and acupoints on the body.

Once the initial instruction was completed, Ye Yu left them with a detailed diagram, assigning the four girls to continue memorizing the positions and properties of the key meridians and acupoints on their own.

As for Ye Yu himself, since he didn't need to attend any team battles at the Soto Great Spirit Arena that evening, he turned his focus elsewhere.

Having discovered that the Spirit Bone Skill Devouring Parasitism from his External Spirit Bone: Demon Willow Fluff (Mother Body) could consume a spirit beast's Spirit Power and flesh essence, and even extract their bloodline essence to feed back into himself, Ye Yu now planned to return to Star Dou Forest in search of suitable ten-thousand-year spirit beasts.

By allowing the Demon Willow Fluff to parasitize and devour such beasts, Ye Yu could receive pure Spirit Power and high-quality bloodline essence in return—greatly accelerating his cultivation speed.

Moreover, he could use the absorbed bloodline essence to enhance and evolve his Blue Silver Glazed Jade Tree Martial Soul.

According to the Spirit Ring Origin Completion Theory that Ye Yu had previously developed:

A Martial Soul could only undergo origin enhancement by absorbing spirit rings that matched it well in compatibility and had higher bloodline quality than the soul itself.

Under normal circumstances, this meant only spirit rings could provide that kind of origin-level supplementation.

But the Demon Willow Fluff's ability to fully devour the Spirit Power and bloodline of a beast before a ring could even form was a game-changer.

It meant the origin essence that should have gone into a ring was intercepted and extracted by the Demon Willow Fluff—bypassing the need for actual ring absorption.

This allowed Ye Yu to obtain origin-level bloodline supplementation without consuming one of his precious spirit ring slots.

And what's more—because it wasn't coming from a forced ring-absorption process, both Ye Yu's body and his Martial Soul could selectively absorb only the beneficial parts.

This differed greatly from traditional spirit ring absorption, where all the good and bad came bundled together.

Ye Yu had already confirmed this after devouring the Dark Devilgod Tiger's bloodline essence.

His Blue Silver Glazed Jade Tree Martial Soul had grown stronger in darkness and evil attributes, and had also gained new wind, space, and time attributes.

And yet, it had not become tainted by the tiger's poison attribute—which it normally would have if a spirit ring had been used.

Now that he was set on returning to Star Dou Forest to hunt for more compatible ten-thousand-year spirit beasts, Ye Yu decided to bring Xiao Wu with him.

After all, Xiao Wu herself was a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit beast born of Star Dou Forest.

While she might not know every part of the forest, she would at least be familiar with the inner regions and the most notable beast territories.

And so, Ye Yu used his usual trump card:

"Xiao Wu, you wouldn't want Tang San to find out you're a spirit beast... would you?"

With that single sentence of blackmail, her resistance crumbled.

Though deeply conflicted and miserable inside, Xiao Wu still gave in.

After all, she was the ultimate love-brain.

Once she'd fallen for Tang San, she had even let go of her hatred for the murder of her mother.

What were a few random spirit beasts to her?

She betrayed them... and comforted herself with a quiet "sorry" in her heart.

Departing from Soto City—

Ye Yu cradled Xiao Wu in his arms, activated his Soul Core Domain, and triggered the first Spirit Ability of his Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone: Flight.

At the same time, he used the Heart Separation Control technique to split his mental awareness into multiple threads.

Two of these mental threads activated his self-created Spirit Abilities:

Thunder Magnetic Armor

Thunderburst Steps

These twin electromagnetic fields launched him forward like a bolt of lightning, accelerating at insane speeds.

Within just half an hour, Ye Yu had arrived at Star Dou Forest with Xiao Wu in tow.

Skimming above the forest canopy, they quickly made their way deep into the inner region.

Under Xiao Wu's guidance, their first destination was:

A dormant volcano deep inside the inner region—home to a god-tier plant-type spirit beast whose bloodline was no weaker than the Undying Laurel Tree.

This beast was none other than the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree, a sacred tree from ancient Chinese mythology.

Its cultivation had already reached seventy thousand years.

Crossing over vast forests, hills, and plains—

Ye Yu soon spotted the volcanic mountain range.

Here, the ecosystem was dominated by fire and earth–attribute spirit beasts:

Crimson Flame Wolves

Fire Foxes

Rockback Turtles

Crimson Jade Armored Rhinos

Flame Lions... and more.

Passing through the volcanic zone, Ye Yu soon arrived at an imposing extinct volcano.

At its summit—

He spotted it.

A towering, majestic tree with a trunk so thick it would take several people to circle it, its bark a mix of black and crimson.

Its leaves were shaped like fiery feathers, radiating a potent life force and flame aura.

Ye Yu's eyes lit up.

"That's definitely the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree!"

Excitement surged in his chest.

When he had previously acquired his fifth spirit ring from the Undying Laurel Tree, he had gained the powerful Undying Body Spirit Ability.

More importantly, the origin essence had caused his Blue Silver Glazed Jade Tree Martial Soul to undergo a true metamorphosis.

It had fused the regenerative properties from the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma, granting him full cellular activity and enabling his self-created Spirit Ability: Blue Silver Wood Dragon.

With enough Spirit Power and spiritual strength in the future—

He could even develop terrifying abilities like Thousand-Arm Buddha Avatar or True Thousand Hands!

Now, although the bloodline essence derived from Demon Willow Fluff didn't match the pure potency of a full spirit ring...

It came with one huge advantage:

No ring slot was used.

The number of spirit rings a Martial Soul could absorb was finite.

Even if each bloodline essence from parasitizing spirit beasts offered less benefit than a ring, the cumulative effect of hundreds or thousands of such absorptions could surpass what spirit rings alone could offer.

And that was the point.

Especially for spirit beasts like the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree—

It had overlapping traits with the Undying Laurel Tree.

Ye Yu had already achieved extreme ice–fire resistance thanks to his earlier cultivation using Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

So he had no need to use the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree for a future ring.

But now, with Demon Willow Fluff, he could still extract and absorb its bloodline essence.

Beasts once excluded from his spirit ring plans could now serve him in another way—boosting his Martial Soul.

Ye Yu and Xiao Wu landed atop the volcanic summit.

Gazing at the magnificent Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree just ahead, Ye Yu summoned his Blue Silver Glazed Jade Tree Martial Soul.

Beneath his feet, six Spirit Rings rose in succession—

Two purple, four black.

His aura began to surge.
