Soon after finishing the details of Yang Yunhai's encounter, Yu Tianheng continued, "Senior Dugu once took Xiaohai out for quite a long time, so Grandfather concluded that Xiaohai must have truly absorbed all of the rare treasure's medicinal power. Otherwise, Senior Dugu would not have remained idle. He also told me to spend more time with Xiaohai and build a closer relationship with him."
Hypocrite! Pretending to form bonds on the surface, but secretly planning to abduct him? Dugu Bo's forehead veins bulged with anger as he listened.
No wonder his martial soul had become so strong, even his appearance had changed. So it had evolved, and his third soul ring came from the Pot Vine, known for its defensive abilities. Yu Xiaogang was inwardly shocked. While marveling at Yang Yunhai's luck, he also felt deep regret.
What a pity,such a rare treasure ended up in the hands of Yang Yunhai, who only had an innate soul power of 0.5.
If it had gone to his disciple Tang San, who possessed innate full soul power, his martial soul abilities would definitely surpass Yang Yunhai's by far, and his soul power might have already reached above level 35.
Thinking of this, anger welled up in his heart.
A waste of heaven's gift,absolutely a waste!
As if something had struck him, he suddenly asked, "Then how is it that he can control multiple vines simultaneously and even weave them into a flower-bud shape for defense?"
"Could that also be due to his martial soul evolution? These abilities don't seem directly related to his soul skills."
"Controlling multiple vines is because Xiaohai…" Yu Tianheng then explained Xiaohai's method of practicing divided attention.
What a brilliant idea,it only requires more time and great comprehension, Yu Xiaogang evaluated silently.
When we return, I should ask Ning Rongrong about split-focus control. Perhaps Xiaosan could practice it more efficiently.
Yu Tianheng continued, "As for weaving them into flower-bud shapes for defense, that comes from his first soul skill."
"Xiaohai's first soul skill, Extension, allows his vines to stretch infinitely. Through soul power, he can weave them into different forms for versatility."
"For example, whips, vine armor, vine nets."
"He can even redistribute his soul power, strengthening specific sections of the vines."
"And with his second soul skill, Absorb, he can replenish soul power from his target. That way, his vines can maintain high strength indefinitely."
"To be honest, even I cannot break free from them," he added with emotion.
"So that's how it is!" Yu Xiaogang's heart trembled. How is this different from creating a self-made soul skill?
He suddenly realized that in the field of martial soul application and soul skill development, Yang Yunhai could truly be called a genius.
I'll have Xiaosan try it when we return, he thought secretly.
"Yu Tianheng!" From a distance, Dugu Bo, who was eavesdropping, was gritting his teeth in anger.
If the details revealed hadn't been publicly known, and the martial soul abilities hadn't been things Xiaohai himself had shared, he would have rushed out and crushed both of them on the spot!
After spending so much time with Xiaohai, he was certain the cunning little fox hadn't revealed everything. Especially since Xiaohai knew about Qin Ming's connection to Shrek Academy and the risks of offending the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. That boy was far too shrewd.
"Hmph! Knowing about it is one thing. Can your disciple replicate it? And even if he could, would he be as strong as Xiaohai?"
He curled his lips into a cold sneer.
Dugu Bo knew very well the strength of Yang Yunhai's martial soul. It was so overwhelming that Tang San couldn't even compare,completely outclassed.
Casting a sidelong glance at a few shadows lurking in the distance, Dugu Bo frowned, then turned and left.
After gathering the information he needed, Yu Xiaogang also prepared to leave. He patted Yu Tianheng's shoulder and said, "With this child's help, I believe that as long as you can break through the shackles in your heart, you will surely lead your team to achieve great results in the Soul Master Tournament."
"Well, I should be going. We'll meet again another day." Saying this, he turned and walked into the shadows.
"Uncle, can you also teach me?" Yu Tianheng suddenly raised his head and asked.
In his view, Yang Yunhai's current achievements came mostly from the rare treasure, something that could not be replicated. But Tang San had climbed step by step, and that would not have been possible without Uncle Yu Xiaogang's teachings. Yu Tianheng believed that if he could also learn from him, his strength would grow much faster, and one day he might surpass Yang Yunhai, reclaiming the family's honor.
Yu Xiaogang stopped in his tracks.
Shrek Academy currently had only six students,still one short to participate in the Continental Soul Master Tournament.
Yu Tianheng was already at level 39. Before the tournament began, he would certainly break through to Soul Sect. If he joined Shrek Academy, it would greatly strengthen their team.
After a moment of thought, he turned his head slightly and shook it.
"Tianheng, if the clan knew I was teaching you, what do you think they would do? I would instantly become the mortal enemy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. And you would inevitably face unbearable pressure from the family."
"I am alone, so it doesn't matter. But you must carefully consider the consequences."
"Besides, you are now the captain of the Emperor Team. Would you really abandon them?"
"I…" Yu Tianheng froze on the spot.
"Until we meet again." Yu Xiaogang said no more and walked away.
Yu Tianheng remained rooted to the ground. After a long while, he finally lifted his head, staring quietly in the direction Yu Xiaogang had gone.
After some time, he lowered his head slightly and walked slowly back toward the hotel, deep in thought.
Meanwhile, in the hotel, Dugu Bo used sound transmission to summon Dugu Yan to his room.
"Yan, break up with Yu Tianheng immediately!"
His face was dark as he spoke the very first sentence.
"Grandfather, what happened?" Dugu Yan asked. Suddenly, as though realizing something, her expression turned grim. She lowered her head, biting her teeth as she said,
"Did Tianheng reveal Xiaohai's information to his uncle Yu Xiaogang?"
"Down to the smallest detail!" Dugu Bo's voice turned cold. "Not only did he reveal Xiaohai's encounter with the rare treasure and his martial soul evolution, he even described his martial soul abilities in full." He recounted the whole situation. "Furthermore, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has long arranged for a squad led by a Soul Saint to secretly follow the team. On the surface it's to protect Yu Tianheng, their direct descendant, but in truth it's to capture Xiaohai alone."
"If Xiaohai hadn't always stayed with the team, and if I hadn't been watching constantly, something might have happened already."
Dugu Yan's face instantly darkened, her fists clenching tightly.
"Hmph!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly. "His disciple used man-made weapons to try to kill you and Xiaohai in the Soul Arena. As the teacher, Yu Xiaogang not only refused to give an explanation but even waylaid us to extract information from his own nephew. And Yu Tianheng was foolish enough to spill everything he knew without hesitation, without even mentioning you once!"
"So what does that mean? That your life, and your relationship with him, mean less than an uncle he hasn't seen for years?"
"Grandfather, say no more. I know what to do," Dugu Yan said in a restrained voice.
She was truly disappointed!
Not only at Yu Tianheng's attitude toward Yu Xiaogang, but also at how he leaked his teammate's information,despite knowing Yu Xiaogang's team would be a direct opponent in the upcoming Soul Master Tournament.
This was nothing less than betrayal. Betrayal of teammates, of friends, of the team itself.
And most importantly, this wasn't the first time Yu Tianheng had done something like this. Yet he had learned nothing, and changed nothing.
How could such a person be worthy of trust?
