Douluo: I Achieve Supremacy with Life Blue Silver Grass

Within the red mist released by the Spirit Fusion Ability—Charm Demon—Xie Yue manipulated the Charm DemonBody formed from the fusion, using the cover of the mist to flank Ye Yu from the side and launch a sudden assault.

He was confident Ye Yu wouldn't be able to detect his position. That blue crystal-like tree Martial Soul should be useless here. Even the powerful self-created Spirit Ability Ye Yu had displayed during their previous duel wouldn't be effective without knowing where the attack was coming from.

To be cautious, Xie Yue hadn't approached Ye Yu from the front or the rear—but from the right flank.

Yet unexpectedly, Ye Yu seemed to perceive his presence as if he could see through the mist. Controlling the blue crystal-like tree Martial Soul, he sent its roots twisting toward Xie Yue's path.

Xie Yue was shocked—he couldn't believe it.

Impossible!

This shouldn't be possible!

The red mist produced by their Spirit Fusion Ability—Charm Demon—suppresses all sensory perception by 50%, especially vision. Under this concealment, one shouldn't be able to see anything clearly.

How could Ye Yu possibly know where we are?!

But with things already in motion, Xie Yue could only grit his teeth in anger. Wielding his sharp Moon Blades, he swiftly sliced through the roots of the Blue Silver Jade Tree blocking his way, intent on closing the gap and testing himself once more against Ye Yu.

Yet this time, Ye Yu wasn't looking to end the battle quickly. Instead, he had grown curious—he wanted to examine exactly how Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Spirit Fusion Ability—Charm Demon—functioned.

In Ye Yu's understanding, Spirit Fusion Ability in the Douluo Continent generally fell into two categories: external-type and internal-type.

External-type techniques were those like:

Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong's Golden Holy Dragon,

The Serpent Dragon couple's Serpent Dragon Joint Assault,

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's Drifting Snow.

These kinds of fusion techniques didn't merge the Soul Masters themselves into a new form; they simply summoned a powerful external entity. The users remained outside and maintained control.

Internal-type techniques, however, were more akin to:

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's Hell White Tiger,

Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Charm Demon.

In these cases, the Soul Masters fully fused with their Martial Souls into one form.

For instance, the Hell White Tiger was so massive that Ye Yu could reasonably assume it contained space within to house both users.

But the Charm Demon Body from Charm Demon was roughly human-sized. From the outside, there was no visual indication that Xie Yue and Hu Liena were housed within. In Ye Yu's opinion, it was far more likely that the Charm DemonBody had created an internal pocket dimension to hold their consciousness or spiritual presence.

And that made Ye Yu curious.

How exactly is the Charm Demon Body structured?

How does Spirit Power circulate inside it?

What's the mechanism that forms that inner space?

So, Ye Yu decided to use the Parasitic Ability of his Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Soul to find out.

Thanks to his training with his self-created Spirit Ability—Dominating Heaven—he had greatly improved his control over his spiritual power and blood essence. By now, he was capable of extending the roots into a target's body to analyze its internal structure and energy flow.

Thus, Ye Yu intentionally relaxed his control, allowing Xie Yue to close in.

He lifted the usual restrictions on the life force and regeneration rate of the Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Soul.

Instantly, the scene shifted—Xie Yue continued to slash his Moon Blades through the tree roots surrounding him. Initially, he had planned to charge at Ye Yu while cutting through the roots, just like in their previous encounters.

Back then, the roots were barely an inconvenience—his Moon Blades sliced through them with ease.

But that only worked because Ye Yu had been holding back.

Now, with regeneration and growth unrestrained, Xie Yue quickly realized something was wrong.

Why aren't these roots stopping?

Why are they growing faster than I can cut?!

The roots he'd just chopped down sprouted anew almost instantly, twisting toward him from every direction in an unending tide.

It was endless. Completely endless!

He couldn't keep up. The speed at which the roots regenerated and grew far outpaced the rate he could cut them down. And with the constant pressure, he had no opportunity to unleash his self-created Spirit Ability—Full Moon.

In no time at all, the Charm Demon Body he controlled was ensnared by the countless roots of the Blue Silver Jade Tree, immobilized. Even his arms were bound, and the Moon Blades fell from his grasp.

Now that the Charm Demon Body had been completely restrained, Ye Yu directed his Martial Soul to send parasitic root vines deep into it, using them to explore the interior structure.

Within moments, the vines penetrated into the inner workings of the Charm DemonBody and spread out like a web, probing every detail.

Through the data collected, Ye Yu quickly uncovered the secret:

The Charm DemonBody, or rather, the tangible Martial Soul formed after the fusion technique, had undergone a transformation that created an entirely new type of lifeform.

And within that body—

—was a space unto itself.
