Douluo Continent: Life-Giving Blue Silver Grass, Immortal

Chapter 28, Second Soul Skill: Abundant Branches and Protective Umbrella

"Boss Yu, hit him harder!"

A burly teammate urged Yu Tianheng to use all his strength to fight Lin Hao.

Lin Hao didn't confront him head-on. Instead, he quickly raised his foot and kicked Yu Tianheng in the stomach, sending him flying.

Yu Tianheng couldn't help but stumble backward four or five steps before regaining his footing.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Meng Shenji's eyes.

Lin Hao's movements were equally simple, without any fancy moves. They emphasized three words: fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Without extensive combat experience, one cannot execute the most direct, simple, and effective counterattack techniques in the battle just now.

Five years of fighting in the Soul Arena of Heaven Dou City allowed Lin Hao to accumulate rich combat experience.

What surprised Yu Tianheng the most was Lin Hao's fist.

In terms of pure physical strength, he, possessing a top-tier beast spirit, did not gain any advantage.

Yu Tianheng had no idea that Lin Hao's physical body had undergone a qualitative change due to the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, coupled with his focus on cultivating the Life System to enhance his vitality, and five years of consuming whale glue to expand his meridians, which greatly improved the circulation of his Qi and blood. Lin Hao was already far beyond what his peers could achieve.

Lin Hao was also slightly surprised. His brute force, which had always worked in the Soul Arena, was now being evenly matched with Yu Tianheng's.

Teammate Shi Mo, confused, exclaimed, "Boss, why did you go easy on him?"

Yu Tianheng was slightly at a disadvantage, which Shi Mo believed was because Yu Tianheng had not used his full strength and had held back.

"Shut up!"

Yu Tianheng put away his contempt for Lin Hao. He glanced at the incense lit by Dugu Yan out of the corner of his eye.

In terms of physical strength and combat experience, Lin Hao is qualified to join the Royal Fighting Team.

However, for the sake of the girl he loves, Yu Tianheng still wants to prevent Lin Hao from joining the Royal Fighting Team, even if it's the Royal Fighting Team II.

"First Soul Skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng conjured a lightning dragon claw and slammed it down on Lin Hao from a distance. The air distorted violently where it passed, erupting with a chilling crackling sound.

This soul skill can glide through the air for twenty meters without dissipating.

At the same time, Lin Hao's second spirit ring floated upwards, turning his entire body purple.

"Second Soul Skill: Abundant Branches and Protective Umbrella!"

Lin Hao manipulated the Blue Silver Grass to grow rapidly, weaving it into a huge umbrella-shaped barrier in front of him.

The umbrella canopy is made up of layers of overlapping grass blades.

The umbrella with its abundant branches provides protection; it can be used by oneself or to assist others.

Allies can take shelter under the umbrella, which will block external attacks. Each time it is attacked, it will shake off a shower of "healing herbs" to restore the health and soul power of the ally under the umbrella.

The center of the umbrella also continuously emits a soothing aroma, reducing fatigue for those around them.

With a cracking sound, like a water bullet hitting the ground, the Thunder Dragon Claw struck the Fiery Branches Protective Umbrella, causing some damage but failing to penetrate it.

Not only was the protective umbrella of the flourishing branches not pierced, but with Lin Hao's continuous infusion of soul power, the damaged parts were repaired very quickly, and new grass leaves grew back.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate. Blue Silver Grass, entwine!"

A white light shone from Lin Hao's body, and countless blue silver grasses grew and stretched rapidly forward from beneath his feet.

In no time, following Lin Hao's will, they surrounded Yu Tianheng from all sides.

Yu Tianheng darted left and right, dodging Blue Silver Grass's pursuit.

"rise!"

The Blue Silver Grass formed a huge cage, enveloping Yu Tianheng within it.

Zhilin whispered, "We've lost!"

"not necessarily!"

Lightning erupted from Yu Tianheng's body, and the second spirit ring beneath his feet turned his entire body yellow.

"Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Strike!"

The countless snake-like lightning bolts coiling around Yu Tianheng amplified at the same time, transforming into countless lightning arrows that shot out in all directions.

The Blue Silver Grass that attempted to entangle Yu Tianheng was blasted into countless broken stems and leaves by the lightning arrows, which fell to the ground.

The beautiful blue-silver cage was completely shattered by Yu Tianheng in the blink of an eye.

This soul skill also carries the power of lightning, which can paralyze the opponent.

Yu Tianheng scoffed disdainfully, "A mere Blue Silver Grass dares to try and bind me!"

"Is that so?"

Lin Hao smiled slightly, and the first spirit ring beneath his feet lit up.

Oslo exclaimed, "Oh no!"

The familiar scene deeply moved Oscar.

Oslo wanted to remind his boss, Yu, but it was too late.

"Blue Silver Binding!"

A white healing light emanated from it.

The life-giving light didn't fly towards Yu Tianheng, but rather to the broken stems and withered leaves at Yu Tianheng's feet.

The broken stems and leaves, which had been severed by the thunderous force, rapidly grew into blue-silver vines. With lightning speed, they bound Yu Tianheng like a rice dumpling.

Two of the Blue Silver Grasses, under Lin Hao's precise control, formed the shape of spears, their tips pointing directly at Yu Tianheng's eyes.

Lin Hao glanced at the incense sticks, which were barely half-burnt, and said, "It's over!"

"Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Strike!"

Lightning crackled around Yu Tianheng, the Blue Silver Grass binding him snapping and exploding in all directions. "No, I haven't lost yet!"

Zhilin stood up from his seat again and said, "You've already lost. If he had used Blue Silver Grass to pierce your eyes just now, even if you hadn't died and managed to break free from its restraints, you would have been blinded and unable to see, leaving you completely vulnerable!"

"I lost? I lost?" Yu Tianheng stared blankly at his hands.

He couldn't accept reality.

He then raised his head and stared intently at Lin Hao.

Yu Tianheng was unconvinced.

He underestimated Lin Hao's Blue Silver Grass from the beginning, mistakenly regarding Lin Hao as a pure life-type Soul Master.

Who would have thought that Blue Silver Grass, which specializes in the life element, could have an entangling ability comparable to a high-level martial soul?

Ye Lingling, who was also majoring in life sciences, shared her thoughts on this.

Yu Tianheng recalled his boastful words and believed that Lin Hao would not last even half an incense stick in his hands.

To his utter surprise, he was the one who couldn't hold out against Lin Hao for even half an incense stick's time.

Yu Tianheng stared in surprise at the Martial Soul that Lin Hao had put away, thinking to himself, "I lost to Blue Silver Grass?!"

Looking at Lin Hao again, Yu Tianheng still couldn't accept reality. He felt as if he had eaten shit, extremely uncomfortable.

Meng Shenji smiled, genuinely pleased that the academy had such an outstanding student. He announced solemnly, "Lin Hao, you are qualified to represent the academy in the competition and join the Royal Fighting Team. Tomorrow I will submit your application to Prince Xuexing."

Qin Ming stared at the defeated Yu Tianheng. He walked to Yu Tianheng's side and asked, "Tianheng, are you still upset about losing?"

Yu Tianheng's gaze was resolute as he said, "If we had another chance, I would definitely defeat him!"

Qin Ming shook his head. "If it happened again, he would still defeat you!"

Hearing this, Yu Tianheng felt even more indignant. He turned to look at Qin Ming and said, "Teacher Qin Ming, I admit he has some skill. But aren't you overestimating him?"

Qin Ming sighed, stretched out his hand, and a Rasengan appeared in his palm. He said, "Everyone, to be honest, the Rasengan that Tian Heng has always wanted me to teach him is a self-created soul skill taught to me by Lin Hao! The Rasengan—I, Qin Ming, learned it from Lin Hao!"
