Chapter 42: The Challenge from Yu Tianheng
"What the hell is this vine?! Why can't I cut it?!"
"My flames don't work either!"
"How are there so many of them?!"
Suddenly, Blue Silver Jade Vines erupted from the ground, rising around them like a forest of crystal-clear blue silver trees.
The vines shimmered like a starry sky, gleaming like translucent sapphire. They grew rapidly, wrapping around everything in sight.
A group of male and female students panicked. Shocked and furious, they launched wave after wave of soul skills.
Some used sticks, others blades and axes. Flames, wind blades, and energy blasts rained down.
They desperately tried to break the endlessly multiplying Blue Silver Jade Vines.
But no matter what they did—be it cutting, burning, or battering—the tough, intricately patterned vines with ice-blue and red lightning motifs were utterly unaffected.
Water and fire were useless.
None of their attacks, physical or spiritual, could make the slightest dent.
Desperation turned into helpless roars.
On the side, Ye Yu had just summoned his Blue Silver Jade Vine martial spirit—instantly creating an overwhelming thicket.
The watching crowd was speechless.
Even if Ye Yu were a Soul Master, could he really summon so much?!
It defied all common sense.
Didn't he use up all his spirit power?!
What they didn't know was:
Ye Yu's first soul skill, Undead Rooting, and his second soul skill, Starlight Absorption, greatly reduced the energy cost of summoning his Blue Silver Jade Vine spirit.
They also boosted its growth and regenerative abilities.
Moreover, Starlight Absorption fed the absorbed and refined spirit power back to Ye Yu—allowing him to recover continuously.
This meant Ye Yu's spirit power capacity far exceeded normal levels.
If a typical Soul Master's spirit power was measured in grams—
Then Ye Yu's was in kilograms.
That was the gap!
In Ye Yu's summoned forest of vines,
The enraged students who had tried to suck up to Yu Tianheng were quickly overwhelmed.
Swords and flames did nothing to the invulnerable vines.
As they screamed in despair, they were lashed and pummeled relentlessly. Some bled from their noses. Others lost teeth.
In the end, they were tied up like dumplings—miserable and bruised.
The countless vines wove together like threads forming a tree trunk.
In moments, a Blue Silver Jade Vine Tree—over five meters thick—shot skyward.
It towered over ten meters high.
The battered, swollen students—over a dozen of them—were strung up from its branches like fruits, dangling and wailing in fear.
Some fainted.
Some wet themselves.
"Holy—!"
Outside the crowd of onlookers—
Yufeng widened his eyes and cursed out loud when he saw the towering vine tree and the swollen human 'fruits' hanging from it.
"What a freak!"
"Is he really a Soul Master? How does he have this much spirit power?!"
"His martial spirit must've evolved. Those guys couldn't cut it or burn it. This is at least high-level."
"To summon this many vines—it should burn through tons of spirit power!"
"How the hell is he doing it?! Is spirit power free for him?!"
"And to control those vines so precisely, turn them into a giant tree and hang people from it… His control is terrifying!"
"No wonder he's so close to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling!"
"He must be some kind of hidden monster!"
Not far away, Oslo, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo were also stunned by the marvel of the Blue Silver Jade Vine Tree Ye Yu created.
"Damn! This guy!"
They had thought Ye Yu was being arrogant—challenging so many people at once. Surely, he'd be humiliated and beaten.
Then Dugu Yan would come to his rescue.
That would be their chance—to swoop in and make her see Ye Yu's true colors and realize they were the perfect match for her.
But instead…
Ye Yu destroyed them like chopping firewood.
Yu Tianheng's expression darkened. Shock turned to fury.
He couldn't believe it.
Wasn't Ye Yu just some ordinary civilian? Didn't he awaken with Blue Silver Grass and first-level innate soul power?!
Even if that useless spirit evolved twice, so what?
How could these blue crystal-like vines be so strong—swords and fire couldn't even scratch them!
Was this a joke?!
But no matter how much he refused to accept it…
The truth was right in front of him.
Yu Tianheng clenched his teeth.
No!
He couldn't accept it.
Dugu Yan… she's meant for me!
He glared at Ye Yu, rage simmering in his chest.
He had to prove he was better.
Even if Ye Yu had just shown off ridiculous strength…
That was against those people.
This was him—Yu Tianheng!
Those weaklings who tried to suck up to him—at most, they had mid- or high-level spirits, and barely made it to Great Soul Master.
But Yu Tianheng?
His martial spirit was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—a top-tier beast spirit.
He too was a Soul Master.
And when Soul Masters from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon line advanced, they gained dragonification—a natural buff.
An extra boost beyond others!
How could he lose?!
This time, the advantage is mine!
"Ye Yu! I challenge you!"
Yu Tianheng strode forward, standing in front of the towering vine tree on the practice field. He took a deep breath and formally issued the challenge.
Ye Yu blinked, caught off guard.
"Huh?"
"A-Yu, don't accept!"
Beside him, Dugu Yan frowned and quickly stepped up.
She grabbed Ye Yu's right arm with her slender, fair hand.
Then turned to leave, ready to take him away directly.
