NOVEL WEB Chapter 153 – Old Man, Bet You Didn’t Expect This—That I Can Fly!
BOOM!
After Ye Yu unleashed Triple Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, his figure blurred and vanished, dodging in an instant.
Yu Yuanzhen's First Spirit Ability – Thunder Dragon Claw slammed into the ground instead, sending blinding arcs of lightning flashing outward as a deep claw-shaped crater was carved into the earth.
But what truly shocked Yu Yuanzhen wasn't the failed strike.
It was what he saw next—
Ye Yu had summoned his Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree, and beneath his feet rose two purple and four black Spirit Rings—six in total!
Yu Yuanzhen's expression instantly changed. His pupils contracted sharply as waves of disbelief surged through his heart.
"A—Spirit Emperor?!"
Wasn't this brat only supposed to be at the Spirit Ancestor level?!
How could he possibly be a Spirit Emperor already?!
And not just that—
From his very first Spirit Ring, he'd absorbed a thousand-year ring.
From the third onward, every ring was ten-thousand-year class!
What kind of monster is this kid?!
Yu Yuanzhen's expression darkened, and a murderous glint shone in his eyes.
No! A freak like this cannot be allowed to live!
If left unchecked, he'll become a disaster for my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
I'll extract the evolution secret from him, and then—
Kill him!
At this moment, Ye Yu had already completed summoning the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree and was launching all six Spirit Abilities in rapid succession.
Under the effect of these skills—
The tree behind him surged upward like an expanding balloon, growing at an unbelievable pace.
In the blink of an eye, it became a towering colossus of crystal blue.
Its body sparkled like translucent sapphire, glowing with a dazzling deep blue-violet luster, veined with golden lines, and filled with drifting starlight and crescent-shaped orbs. Fiery phoenix patterns, icy blue floral marks, and arcs of purple lightning coiled across its bark.
Among the dense canopy overhead, clusters of silver-white blossoms bloomed between thick, elongated leaves.
Tree trunks and branches sprouted and split madly, weaving through the air like crystal serpents—each one a massive Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree vine.
Meanwhile—
Underground, the tree's roots spread like wildfire, penetrating the earth and rapidly expanding outward.
Before long, it was as if an entire forest of Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees had erupted from the ground, surging toward Yu Yuanzhen like a living siege.
"What the hell?!"
Yu Yuanzhen's face went pale.
How could a Plant-type Martial Soul grow so fast?
In mere moments, it had become a towering forest!
Are you kidding me?!
But there was no time to think.
The tide of crystal blue trees was already upon him, vines twisting like giant sapphire snakes, thick as stone columns, each with a diameter exceeding three meters—comparable to the true bodies of elite Plant Martial Souls!
"Seventh Spirit Ability—Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon True Body!!"
Realizing how dire the situation had become, Yu Yuanzhen didn't hesitate. With a furious roar, he activated his Martial Soul True Body.
Silver-blue light erupted as he transformed into a colossal Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, his form surrounded by nine shining Spirit Rings.
"Fifth Spirit Ability—Four Thunder Slashes!"
As he took flight, he launched a Spirit Ability in a rage.
With his fifth ring glowing brightly, a storm of lightning burst from his dragon form and rained down in all directions like a thunderclap tempest.
As a Titled Douluo's ten-thousand-year ability, Four Thunder Slashes swept outward with terrifying force.
Some of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees surging toward him exploded on contact.
But—
They were not all destroyed.
Why?
Because Ye Yu had previously absorbed a Thunder Prison Hell Vine Spirit Ring.
And while he hadn't achieved complete immunity to lightning…
Thanks to its resonance with his Thunderous Hell Prison Spear (his external Spirit Bone), Ye Yu's Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree gained at least 50% lightning resistance.
So even Yu Yuanzhen, empowered by his True Body and a ten-thousand-year thunder ability, couldn't completely annihilate the tree army.
What he destroyed were only the front ranks.
Behind them, the rest surged forward unharmed.
And those that were shattered?
They split at the breaks and regenerated even more frantically—multiplying in number like a virus.
"Sixth Spirit Ability—Sky-Splitting Dragon Roar!!"
Yu Yuanzhen growled and unleashed another Spirit Ability.
ROAR!!
A devastating sound wave exploded outward from his dragon maw, like a sonic earthquake, sweeping across the battlefield.
Finally, the front ranks of Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees were shattered, collapsing into fragments and crashing to the ground.
But—
Yu Yuanzhen's scalp went numb again.
Because those shattered fragments—
Took root.
Absorbed sunlight.
And began to regrow rapidly.
In mere seconds, they rose into towering crystal trees once more, forming a dense forest canopy that blocked out the sun.
An entire Blue Silver Forest now encased the battlefield.
This can't go on!
I have to rely on aerial superiority!
On the ground, his crystal trees regenerate too quickly…
And my thunder attacks don't work well on them!
"Second Spirit Ability—Heaven-Shaking Thunderstrike!"
Taking to the sky, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon let out a howl and fired again.
Silver-blue lightning coiled across his body before launching downward in a flurry of electrified javelins, like a thunderstorm of spears raining toward Ye Yu.
But Ye Yu only chuckled.
A cold smile curled on his lips.
"Let's end the warmup."
With a thought, he withdrew his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul.
Then—
Triple Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track activated again.
His figure blurred into the shadows, dodging every lightning spear with eerie precision.
Soul Core Field—activate.
First Ability of the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone—Flight!
At the same time—
His second and third sets of Demon Willow Fluff Meridians activated his self-created skills: Thunder-Magnetic Body and Thunderburst Step.
The result?
A powerful electromagnetic burst.
BOOM—!!
Ye Yu rocketed skyward like a bolt of lightning.
In the sky, Yu Yuanzhen's dragon eyes widened.
The golden slits of his pupils shrank in disbelief.
"HE CAN FLY?!"
From below, Ye Yu smirked and called out:
"Old man… bet you didn't expect this—"
"I. Can. FLY!"
