Chapter 38: Leading the whole audience is my responsibility.
Lin Hao was pushed to the very edge of the line, and no one assigned him a spot.
Yu Tianheng glanced at him, his tone disdainful, "You stay there and don't run around, lest you get trampled to death by a soul beast and Ye Lingling wastes her soul power to save you."
Graphite also said in a deep voice, "That's right, your Blue Silver Grass won't be of much help, just don't make things worse."
Lin Hao ignored them.
He silently released his mental energy to scout the beast tide ahead.
More and more soul beasts were approaching, including bloodthirsty wolves, ghostly tigers, and several massive armored bears. The three ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts at the forefront charged forward with a ferocious aura.
"They're here!"
Yu Feng's voice was filled with panic.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the front-row soul beasts crashed into the stone mill's Xuan Turtle Shield.
"Bang!"
Graphite groaned, the halo on the tortoise shell flickered, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.
There are just too many soul beasts.
Among them were soul beasts that were natural enemies of each other. At this moment, they were running wildly in one direction, seemingly out of fear of something.
Suddenly, a black-horned wild boar broke through the graphite's defenses and charged into the group.
"First Soul Skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianheng unleashed his first soul skill instantly, lightning striking the Black Horned Boar and killing it on the spot.
But the spirit beasts behind them continued to surge forward like a tide, endlessly.
At first, the formation was able to hold up.
Graphite's tortoise shell blocked the frontal impact, Yu Tianheng's lightning cleared away the approaching soul beasts, Oslo's agile earth energy restrained the flanks, and Dugu Yan's poisonous mist prevented soul beasts from sneaking up on the rear.
However, their strength was limited; only Oslo, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Bo in the team possessed three spirit rings.
To their relief, the soul beast simply ran away without lingering in battle.
As time went on, the beast tide grew stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, three ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts charged forward!
At the very front was a ten-thousand-year-old armored bear, larger than the tortoise shell of the graphite, which rammed its head into the tortoise shell.
"Snap!"
Graphite's Xuanwu protective aura shattered instantly, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying backward, crashing into an ancient tree behind him, his tortoise shell cracking all over.
"Graphite!" Yu Tianheng exclaimed, sensing something amiss. Looking at the horde of beasts ahead, he thought to himself, "We're doomed!"
With no defenses in front, the once impregnable defensive formation has been torn open with a large gap.
If the beast tide hits other people, then everyone behind them will be in danger.
Just then, before Qin Ming could make a move, Lin Hao, who had been ignored, suddenly appeared at the front of the group.
"Second Soul Skill: Abundant Branches and Protective Umbrella!"
The purple soul ring pulsed upwards, turning Lin Hao's entire body purple.
"Lin Hao!"
Shi Mo stared blankly at Lin Hao, who had replaced him, in disbelief.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A group of armored bears followed behind the armored bear. Like bulldozers, they kept crashing into Lin Hao's protective umbrella of dense branches.
"Blue gold!"
"Your martial spirit has changed?"
"It hasn't changed, it's evolved."
Everyone noticed that Lin Hao's martial spirit had undergone a significant change compared to two months ago.
First, the color of the blue silver grass changed from deep blue to a blue-gold color with a noble feel.
Then there are the stems and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass, with stems like tree trunks and leaves that are even wider and thicker.
At first glance, the Blue Silver Grass in Lin Hao's hand doesn't look like grass; it looks like a sapling that's forty centimeters tall.
The leaves form an umbrella, constituting the outermost layer of defense.
Beneath the leaves lies a remarkably sturdy stem.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The sound of continuous impacts continued.
No matter how the armored bear rammed into it, once the stems and leaves of the blue silver grass were broken, it was restored to its original state by the powerful healing ability.
After a stick of incense had burned, Lin Hao held firm on the defensive line by relying on a derivative technique of his second soul skill.
Oslo called softly, "Lin Hao!"
Oslo, who was seeking another sparring session with Lin Hao, couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Lin Hao.
Occasionally, one or two soul beasts would leap up and break through the protective umbrella of the dense branches, but Lin Hao would use his other hand, which he had freed up, to control the Blue Silver Grass, entangle them, and throw them out of the camp.
Yu Tianheng and Oslo, who were responsible for the left and right defenses, were left with nothing to do.
Moreover, every time a soul beast crashes into the lush foliage shelter, a spore-like substance spreads around, relieving Yu Tianheng and Oslo's fatigue.
"Well!"
Yu Tianheng stared blankly at Lin Hao.
As expected, Lin Hao's Blue Silver Grass evolved after consuming the Qiluo Tulip.
The martial spirit evolved from dark blue to blue-gold.
However, for some reason, he did not obtain the Blue Silver Domain.
In particular, consuming the Qirong Tongtianju (奇茸通天菊) increased the resilience of the Blue Silver Grass (蓝银草).
The evolved Blue Silver Grass is so resilient that even if one's soul power is ten levels higher than Lin Hao's, it would be impossible to break it easily.
And mental strength.
Lin Hao's mental strength has reached the second level of the Spirit Sea Realm, allowing him to multitask. His powerful mental strength enables him to control the entire situation.
At this moment, Lin Hao perfectly demonstrated what it means to lead the entire audience; it was my duty.
Continuously unleashing soul skills consumes a great deal of soul power.
Lin Hao continuously took out medicinal liquid from his storage soul tool to restore the soul power that had been consumed in his body.
Supported by the medicinal liquid, Lin Hao tenaciously maintained the first line of defense. No matter how fiercely the beast tide attacked, he consistently increased his output of soul power to hold the line.
The beast tide lasted for a while longer before gradually receding.
Everyone in the Royal Fighting Team breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at Lin Hao with complicated expressions.
Qin Ming walked over to Lin Hao, patted him on the shoulder, and praised, "Lin Hao, well done. Everyone, who still looks down on Lin Hao's Blue Silver Grass martial soul?"
The last words were addressed to other people.
Oslo lowered his head in shame.
Shi Mo pouted, looking away. He admired Lin Hao's control over his character, but because his brother had been kicked out of the team, he still harbored resentment towards Lin Hao.
Yu Tianheng's gaze swept towards Dugu Yan.
He had a crush on Dugu Yan and had been pursuing her, but he suddenly realized that Dugu Yan seemed to have changed in the last two months.
Yu Tianheng sensed that Dugu Yan had someone she liked. He gazed at Lin Hao with a complicated expression.
Yu Feng, standing beside Yu Tianheng, asked softly, "He's not as weak as you say. The atmosphere's reached this point, shouldn't we call him 'Boss'?"
Yu Tianheng clenched his fists slightly.
He liked Dugu Yan, not just because the latter had a grandfather who was a Title Douluo.
But he knew that Dugu Yan's attitude towards him had changed in the past two months, most likely because of Lin Hao, who had appeared in Dugu Yan's world two months ago.
In other words, Lin Hao is very likely Yu Tianheng's rival in love!
Dugu Yan smiled slightly and reminded everyone, "Gentlemen, why don't you call him 'Boss' now? If not now, when?"
Suddenly, Lin Hao's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Oh no, it's a flash flood!"
