Douluo: I Achieve Supremacy with Life Blue Silver Grass

"Lingling?!"

Ye Yu had just climbed into bed, not yet fallen asleep, when the sound of the door opening caught his attention.

Seeing Ye Lingling walk in, he blinked in surprise.

"I… I came to give you a massage!"

Though she'd steeled her heart before coming, Ye Lingling's delicate and beautiful face still flushed pink in front of Ye Yu. Her heart pounded uncontrollably, and her voice trembled slightly.

"A massage? My body is sore…"

"Thanks, Lingling."

Given that Lingling had always been reserved and hadn't shown affection as openly as Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, or Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Yu had assumed it was simply shyness.

Now that she'd gathered the courage to come alone, there was no way he'd reject her and risk hurting her feelings.

So, with a warm smile, he turned over and lay down.

Ye Lingling, flushed with both nervousness and excitement, climbed onto the bed and sat astride Ye Yu's back, beginning the massage with surprising skill.

Her technique was impressively professional.

But…

Before he knew it, Ye Yu realized her hands had wandered somewhere they definitely shouldn't be.

"Hiss!"

He drew a sharp breath, twisting around in shock.

"Lingling, you—!"

"Ye Yu, I love you!"

Ye Lingling suddenly wrapped her arms tightly around him. Her clear and elegant features were lit with deep-blue eyes full of passion—and unwavering resolve.

"We… We were the ones who met first!"

"But you confessed to Yan first…"

"I didn't dare to tell you how I felt. I didn't want to hurt my friendship with her."

"But now… you've already been claimed by Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing!"

"I can't wait any longer!"

Tears shimmering in her eyes, she launched herself at him—confession turned into action.

And as Ye Yu thought back to how he'd chosen Dugu Yan early on to grow stronger, a flicker of guilt rose in his heart.

What could he say?

There was only one answer:

He responded with equally passionate love.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Dugu Yan was still poring over Ye Yu's meridian and acupuncture diagrams.

She let out a quiet sigh.

"Ugh, this stuff is so hard to memorize!"

Ye Lingling might be a bit slow when it came to romance, but in terms of academics?

She was frighteningly good.

"If only I could learn like Lingling…"

Back in the bedroom…

Ye Yu's restful afternoon plans were completely derailed.

Thanks to Lingling's bold confession, what was meant to be a nap became a deep exchange of feelings—and something far more intense.

Though Ye Lingling's love was fiery and persistent…

As a support-type Spirit Master, she lacked the stamina of her combat counterparts.

Even using her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul to continuously heal herself throughout…

She still couldn't hold out.

In the end, Ye Yu had to tap into the Undying Laurel Heart, his External Spirit Bone embedded in his chest, to restore Lingling's vitality.

As evening approached, Lingling—with her face still burning red—slipped quietly out of the room.

Later that night, when the group gathered to head out for dinner…

Dugu Yan couldn't help but notice that her best friend Ye Lingling's entire aura had softened—like water.

She found it a bit strange.

After dinner, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong headed to the Soto Great Spirit Arena, where they would participate in a team battle alongside the Emperor Team.

Ye Yu, on the other hand, returned alone to the Zirui Grand Hotel, ready to begin his breakthrough.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ye Yu cleared his mind, entering a pseudo–Unity of Heaven and Man state.

He began cultivating the Internal Core Method, and at the same time, activated his Demon Willow Fluff Mother Body.

It started to return everything the three Demon Willow Fluff clones had absorbed:

Spirit Power

Life Force

Bloodline Origins

Suddenly, vast waves of refined energy surged into his body.

Eyes shut tightly, Ye Yu began absorbing and refining it all—focusing on increasing his Spirit Power and nourishing his body.

But it wasn't just Spirit Power and life energy being returned.

Four distinct bloodline essences were also flowing into him.

They came from the:

Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree

Wind-Thunder Skyhawk

Darknight Bat

Devourer Demon Dragon

As these bloodline essences were absorbed, Ye Yu's Martial Soul—Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree—appeared behind him on its own.

Six Spirit Rings rose around him:

Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black

From the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree, the red-hot flame etchings on his Martial Soul—once gained from his Ice-Fire Body Tempering—began to elongate and transform.

They turned into majestic phoenix wing patterns, vivid and lifelike.

Not only did his vitality and regeneration increase further…

He now had the ability to absorb flames, be reborn in fire, and undergo phoenix-like evolution.

And…

The Martial Soul also gained a fire attribute.

The Wind-Thunder Skyhawk's bloodline enhanced the wind attribute of the Blue Silver Spiritjade Tree.

Its lightning attribute, however, was weaker than that of Ye Yu's Thunder Prison Vine, and thus had no additional effect.

From the Darknight Bat, Ye Yu gained a boost to the Martial Soul's dark attribute.

Additionally…

Since the bat also had a spiritual affinity, a small amount of pure spiritual energy was returned to him as well—strengthening his mental power.

Though it wasn't much, due to the Demon Willow Fluff lacking soul-devouring capabilities, it was still a welcome gain.

Finally, from the Devourer Demon Dragon, both the spatial and dark attributes of his Martial Soul were further enhanced.

As soon as the dragon's bloodline essence was fully absorbed…

Ye Yu suddenly sensed something new.

A silver-white space, about the size of a room, had been birthed from within the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul!

He was stunned.

"Wait… my Martial Soul has its own internal space now?!"

Could it be…

The Devourer Demon Dragon had a stomach-space, used to store whatever it consumed…

And the Dark Devilgod Tiger's innate ability, Life and Death Arena, was itself a spatial domain…

After absorbing the bloodlines of both…

Had the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree gained spatial traits as a result?

Ye Yu's heart surged with excitement.

"A Martial Soul with a built-in space… incredible."

After all—

Time reigns supreme, but space rules the world.

Everyone knew the saying.

Even if he didn't yet fully understand what this Blue Silver Space could be used for…

Ye Yu was certain:

One day, it would become an essential part of his power system.
