Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Yu Tianheng’s Despair
Chapter 44: Yu Tianheng's Despair
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd,
Ye Yu and Yu Tianheng stood on the open playground, more than ten meters apart.
Before the duel began,
Ye Yu willed the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine Tree—formed from countless interwoven vines—not far from the field to disperse.
In an instant, the towering Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine Tree shattered into countless sparkling blue and silver light particles,
and the bruised, swollen students bound like dumplings to its "crown" began dropping to the ground one after another.
Cries of pain echoed as they landed in a miserable heap.
But whether it was Yu Tianheng, Ye Yu, or anyone else—
no one paid them the slightest attention.
For those who only ever try to cling and curry favor with others—
no one truly respects or likes them.
Not even the very people they cling to!
"How much spirit power do you have left?"
"If you're low, I can wait until you recover before we fight," Yu Tianheng said.
Though born into the prestigious Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the grandson of Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen,
Yu Tianheng had been flattered and admired from a young age.
This led him to develop a haughty personality.
He looked down on those with low status, talent, or strength.
Only those whose strength rivaled or surpassed his own could earn his respect.
But it was also because of this arrogance that Yu Tianheng held onto a certain pride and dignity.
With so many people watching, he didn't want to be accused of taking advantage, even if he won.
Of course, Yu Tianheng believed he'd win anyway.
However, Ye Yu shook his head calmly.
"No need. I have enough spirit power. Let's not waste time—start now."
Yu Tianheng's face stiffened with irritation.
This guy was too smug!
You refused to recover yourself—don't blame me!
"Fine! Let's begin!"
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, possess!"
Yu Tianheng shouted, summoning his martial spirit.
In an instant, lightning burst from his body with a fierce dragon roar.
A massive silver-blue dragon, wrapped in crackling thunder and lightning, wings spread wide, with four razor-sharp claws, a long muscular neck, and a domineering head appeared in a flash—
then fused with him.

Upon possession, unlike most beast spirit soul masters, Yu Tianheng's transformation was unique.
Blue lightning flashed from his brow and surged through his entire body.
His figure swelled with energy. His muscles expanded.
His right arm surged outward, tearing through his sleeve, transforming into a dragon arm wrapped in shimmering silver-blue scales, each the size of a spirit coin, ending in menacing claws.
Three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple—rose from beneath him and circled his fearsome dragon arm.
Interesting…
Ye Yu's eyes lit up.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's dragon transformation ability was indeed extraordinary.
As Yu Tianheng summoned his martial spirit, Ye Yu also extended his right hand.
A wave of silver-blue light surged forth—
and the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine martial spirit appeared.
Without hesitation, Ye Yu activated his first and second soul skills: Undead Rooting and Starlight Absorption.
Under his control, the Blue Silver Jade Vine rapidly sprouted from the main vine.
Its shimmering crystal form glowed with hues of starlight, adorned with purple, ice-blue, red, and lightning patterns.
Like spirit snakes, the vines pierced the ground.
Upon entering the earth, the vines exhibited the traits of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo—their tips sharpened like spears, easily drilling deep into the soil.
Due to having absorbed the fourth soul ring from a 20,000-year-old Earth Vein Purple Fungus,
Ye Yu's vines could now independently grow and root from every segment.
Which meant that the Undead Rooting skill now allowed growth from any part of the vine!
So, as each vine pierced the earth, they began expanding wildly, digging deep to over a hundred meters.
There they rooted, absorbing nutrients and converting it into vitality and spirit power.
Ye Yu's spirit power consumption plummeted—
and the vines surged rapidly through the soil, snaking toward Yu Tianheng.
At the same time, Yu Tianheng shouted, activating his third soul skill.
"Third Soul Skill: Thunder Fury!"
A surge of blinding lightning exploded from him, and his aura rose sharply.
Thunder Fury allowed him to enter a berserk state.
- All spirit power: +50%
- Lightning attribute skills: +100%
…but at a cost—his emotions became unstable and frenzied.
(Also known as: "easy to get excited.")
Afterward, he'd suffer a period of weakness.
But facing a control-type soul master like Ye Yu—
Yu Tianheng knew: He must fight quickly!
Now in full berserk mode, Yu Tianheng roared and charged.
Lightning crackled over his body. His dragon claws gleamed as he lunged at Ye Yu.
But just then—
Countless Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines erupted from the ground like a forest of blue-silver crystal!
They surrounded Yu Tianheng and began lashing, coiling, and tangling violently!
What the hell—does this guy have infinite spirit power?!
The crowd was stunned.
Ye Yu had just summoned a forest of vines earlier—he hadn't even recovered yet!
And now, mid-duel, he'd summoned even more vines?!
The students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy were stunned.
We're all soul masters…
How come we're using power like Spirit Dry Battery, and he's over there like a Spirit Power Hydroelectric Plant?!
"Second Soul Skill: Thunderclap!"
Yu Tianheng, overwhelmed by the whipping vines, roared and activated his second soul skill.
Instantly, the lightning around him surged and split into dozens of lightning arrows—
firing outward in all directions, tearing through the air with terrifying energy.
Each arrow carried paralysis effects and destructive power.
With his Thunder Fury active, these were on par with thousand-year soul skills!
The lightning bolts struck the vines and exploded!
But…
There was no damage.
No burn marks. No charring.
Nothing.
WHAT?!
Yu Tianheng nearly broke.
This was the second soul skill of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, used during Thunder Fury!
And it did nothing?!
You're just a plant spirit!
Even if you've evolved, you shouldn't be immune to thunder!
But Yu Tianheng didn't know—
Ye Yu had undergone the Ice and Fire Body Refinement, and his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine had gained innate immunity to extreme cold and heat.
And after absorbing the Thunder Hell Vine, he'd gained resistance to all thunder-type attacks beneath the level of Extreme Thunder.
He was Yu Tianheng's natural nemesis!
When thunder proved useless, vines suddenly wrapped around Yu Tianheng's legs!
He roared and used his first soul skill: Thunder Dragon Claw,
channeling it into his dragon arm to boost its strength.
He slashed and shredded a few vines.
But Ye Yu was already a Level 47 Soul Sect,
and these vines had been enhanced many times. Their toughness was monstrous.
Even using full force, Yu Tianheng could only tear a few at a time.
And just when he thought he was getting somewhere—
The shredded vines regrew instantly, wrapping tightly around his dragon arm!
Then from beneath and behind him—
more vines surged up, enveloping him completely!
He was wrapped in layers up
on layers until he looked like a cylindrical cocoon, leaving only his reddened face exposed so he could breathe.
"You lose."
