Douluo Continent: Inheriting the power to destroy life, the supreme Blue Silver Grass

"Their situation isn't good; they're both injured and being chased by spirit beasts..."

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, Ye Lingling's body trembled, and her tone became anxious: "Where did they go?!"

"Let's go, it shouldn't be too far."

Chu Chen pointed in the direction ahead, and sure enough, he was able to trace some signs of a fight and some bloodstains. With the tracking ability of the Blue Silver Grass that was spread throughout the forest, it was not difficult for Chu Chen to find the trail.

Before long, a tiger's roar echoed through the mountains and forests, stirring up a fierce wind.

"Roar!"

The tiger's roar reverberated, confirming to Chu Chen and Ye Lingling that they were right in front of them. Sure enough, the next moment they saw a large, muscular ghost tiger waving its sharp claws and slapping at an injured woman in front of them.

Seeing this, Chu Chen unleashed a Blue Silver Emperor, instantly entangling the woman and bringing her before him.

"Treatment," Chu Chen said in a low voice. Ye Lingling, who was standing to the side, was obviously stunned and didn't even react in this emergency.

After Chu Chen reminded her, she released the Nine-Heart Begonia and promptly provided treatment to the woman in front of her.

"Sister Ling, are you alright?" Ye Lingling asked anxiously, her voice trembling with tears.

The woman, known as Sister Ling, had a deep wound in her abdomen, clearly caused by the ghost tiger. Fortunately, with Ye Lingling's treatment, Sister Ling's injury recovered quickly and there was no need to worry anymore.

"Lingling? That's great, you're alright."

Lingjie's face regained some color, and then she warily shielded Ye Lingling behind her: "This ghost tiger has two thousand years of cultivation. Xiaoya was injured while covering me, so you should leave quickly."

"We can't leave."

Chu Chen said, "This ghost tiger can track the scent of blood, and with the help of the night environment, its speed can completely blend into the darkness. We have no choice but to deal with this ghost tiger."

Ye Lingling explained, "Sister Ling, this is Chu Chen. He was the one who helped me when I was absorbing the soul ring."

“But…” Sister Ling hesitated. Chu Chen looked even a few years younger than Ye Lingling. Even if he had combat power, how strong could he be?

"You all step back."

Chu Chen gestured for the two to step back, then with a light step, he turned and headed towards Ghost Tiger. Ghost Tiger seemed to be provoked, and with its powerful limbs, it leaped up and lunged at Chu Chen.

The two quickly pierced through a distance of several hundred meters.

At this moment, Blue Silver Emperor plants burst forth from the ground and bloomed, directly binding Ghost Tiger's limbs. Then, Chu Chen's second soul skill was unleashed.

The Ghost Tiger, with its two thousand years of cultivation, can serve as a whetstone for him after obtaining his second soul ring, and also as an opportunity for him to test the effects of his second soul skill!

"Second Soul Skill: Life Deprivation"

The Blue Silver Emperor unleashed an invisible life magnetic field, and the blue-gold light it transformed into directly enveloped the Ghost Tiger. The Ghost Tiger, which had just torn the Blue Silver Emperor apart with its sharp teeth, felt its movements become sluggish.

Within this life magnetic field, not only are all vital signs, such as the senses and actions of the hands, slowed down, but life energy can also be invisibly deprived and used by Chu Chen!

This is the terrifying aspect of Chu Chen's second soul skill: it inherits the life-drawing effect of the Undying Green Vine, and the Blue Silver Emperor itself also has this effect!

The combined effects resulted in such a powerful soul skill.

The life magnetic field can distinguish friend from foe based on Chu Chen's thoughts. After the ghost tiger was bound, before he could react, the Blue Silver Emperor wrapped him up layer by layer.

Chu Chen then condensed his life energy, transforming the Blue Silver Emperor into a sharp sword, which he thrust forward and, with a soft thud, pierced deeply into the Ghost Tiger's pupil.

"Roar!"

Ghost Tiger let out a mournful howl and went berserk in an instant. Even though it was bound by the life magnetic field, its claws still slammed down with great force. Chu Chen narrowly dodged the attack, and then the light of life shone forth.

This is his first soul skill, Life Stream!

With its life force fully concentrated, it was all channeled into Chu Chen's punch.

So he punched Ghost Tiger on the head. Although his arm trembled slightly from the impact of the hard skull, Ghost Tiger was clearly in worse shape. The punch made him see stars and bleed from his ears and nose.

Using the force of that punch, Chu Chen took the opportunity to create distance between himself and Ghost Tiger, while simultaneously using the binding and piercing power of the Blue Silver Emperor to continuously attack.

While entangling the ghost tiger, several Blue Silver Emperor plants gathered their soul power and, with extremely strong piercing force, pierced into the ghost tiger's skin.

Ghost Tiger's howl echoed through the forest, but Chu Chen would not let him go. Every attack from Blue Silver Emperor was superimposed with the power of life extraction, and even had the effect of the second soul skill: life deprivation!

"From the very first moment you are enveloped by the life magnetic field, your life force has been constantly draining away... until it is completely exhausted."

Chu Chen sneered. Ghost Tiger relied on his speed advantage to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent from the shadows, but he just happened to run into Chu Chen.

The deprivation of his life not only slowed his movements but also caused his life force to continuously drain away. In addition, the severe injuries Chu Chen inflicted on his pupils and head accelerated the loss of his life force!

Before anyone knew it, Ghost Tiger collapsed to the ground and fell silent.

Without life deprivation, Ghost Tiger might be able to trigger a red-blood berserk state, but life deprivation won't give you any chance.

If you're low on health, you'll be killed instantly!

"Chu Chen, are you alright?" Ye Lingling's voice came from the side. She had caught up and was stunned when she saw Gui Hu's corpse.

Chapter 17: Saying goodbye to Ye Lingling, Tang Hao in despair after losing the Blue Silver King.

"It's alright. How is your companion?" Chu Chen asked softly, looking at Ye Lingling who was catching up.

This ghost tiger, with its two thousand years of cultivation, did not cause him much depletion. The reason for this was that the combination of the Blue Silver Emperor and Chu Chen's terrifying second soul skill was extremely effective.

"Sister Ling's injuries have healed, and Sister Xiaoya has found us. We are all fine."

Ye Lingling's tone was calm. A Ghost Tiger with two thousand years of cultivation is equivalent to a Soul Venerable in human terms. Moreover, the Ghost Tiger is a special species, and it is difficult for ordinary Soul Venerables to kill it head-on.

Especially in such a short period of time!

But Chu Chen did it. In such a short time, he killed a ghost tiger with the strength of a Great Soul Master.

"Lingling, is your friend alright...?"

The two women, whom Ye Lingling called Sister Ling and Sister Xiaoya, also arrived at this moment. Upon seeing the dead Ghost Tiger, both women were filled with shock.

They were well aware of the ghost tiger's strength.

The fact that they were killed by this young man was truly unreal to them. In their eyes, this young man was even a few years younger than Ye Lingling.

……

"I see. Brother Chu Chen, thank you for saving Lingling. She's stubborn and doesn't like to talk to people, so she's on good terms with us. That's why we came to help her get her second soul ring."

At this point, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Sister Ling's face.

"I never expected all this to happen, but thankfully Lingling met you."

Chu Chen gestured to the two not to worry, and the four of them traveled together and soon left the Star Dou Great Forest.

Perhaps it was because of her unusual experience with Chu Chen that Ye Lingling's previously indifferent personality had dissipated considerably, and she was now able to talk to Chu Chen very naturally.

However, she never took off her veil.

"You've only been in the Junior Soul Master Academy for one semester? I didn't know you were so much younger than me..." Ye Lingling said in surprise.

She had assumed that Chu Chen was at most a few months younger than her, maybe a year younger, but she was genuinely surprised when she learned his real age.

She did not tell Ling Jie and the other two that Chu Chen possessed a thousand-year soul ring and a special Blue Silver Grass martial soul. This was Chu Chen's secret, and although she had learned of it by chance, she would keep it a secret for him.

"So which college do you plan to go to next?" Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment before asking somewhat abruptly.

"Hmm? Could it be that you still want to see me?" Chu Chen teased.

"I...I didn't!"

Ye Lingling instinctively retorted, then casually added, "I... I'll probably go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy..."

Chu Chen smiled; of course he knew that.

"If you need any help later... or if you need a support-type Soul Master to hunt Soul Beasts, you can come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to find me. You saved my life, and also saved Sister Ling and Sister Xiaoya... I owe you a favor."

Ye Lingling's voice was very soft, and it grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, like the sound of a mosquito. Only she herself could hear it.

"Okay, I got it." Chu Chen agreed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling smiled gently, and through the black veil, Chu Chen saw the corners of her mouth turn up slightly.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, the two parted ways, and Ling Jie and Xiao Ya thanked Chu Chen once again.

As Ye Lingling passed by Chu Chen, she emphasized again, "Um... if you need any help, you can come to me..."

"Okay, I will," Chu Chen said with a smile.

This experience of acquiring his second spirit ring was unforgettable for Chu Chen. Perhaps many years later he would fulfill the promise he made to the two of them, but right now he just wanted to return to Emperor Soul Village as soon as possible and enjoy this rare vacation…

"He's clearly gentle at heart, so why does he appear so cold on the surface?" Lying in the carriage, Chu Chen murmured in confusion.

The holiday ended quickly.

After bidding farewell to Village Chief Tig again, Chu Chen embarked on his journey to Notting Academy once more.

Life at the academy was ultimately somewhat monotonous, but Chu Chen thoroughly enjoyed it. Although he was familiar with most of the knowledge taught in class, he also gained some entirely new insights.

Combining this with the information he had as a time traveler, he also gained some entirely new insights!

The only thing he found enjoyable was the place where the Blue Silver King had sacrificed himself. Amidst the monotonous academy life, Chu Chen would take the time to return to that place.

However, a crack suddenly appeared in the ground, clearly caused by a heavy impact.

Therefore, Chu Chen used the power of the Blue Silver Emperor to connect with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, recreating the scene from not long ago...

Tang Hao, who had arrived here full of hope, looked travel-worn, but his voice betrayed his sorrow.

"Damn Spirit Hall, I, Tang Hao, swear to destroy you! You killed Ah Yin and took away her soul bone. I will never let you get away with this!"

Tang Hao arrived here, muttering to himself, "Fortunately, with the Blue Silver King present, there's hope for Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass to awaken. I must find a way to take the Blue Silver King away, or..."

Tang Hao's voice abruptly stopped.

He was shocked to see that the Blue Silver King had already been sacrificed and disappeared, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Yes, there is only common blue silver grass growing everywhere.

At this moment, Tang Hao's world completely collapsed. He knelt on the ground, unable to hold back his vomiting of blood several times, and almost fainted...

"It's over...it's over...the mistress's Blue Silver Grass is gone..."

Tang Hao's eyes were lifeless. Without the Blue Silver King, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass also lost the opportunity to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor. How far could he go with just ordinary Blue Silver Grass?

He blamed everything on the Spirit Hall, and his anger flared up. He was so furious that he almost went to carry Angela Chang and fight the Spirit Hall to the death!

……

After reading about Tang Hao's recent experience, Chu Chen suppressed the urge to burst into laughter. After giving the Blue Silver Grass here abundant life energy, he returned to Notting Academy.
