While Lin Wu was still stunned...
Ye Yu, having created a soul skill for the first time, gripped his refined steel spear tightly. His legs seemed to be wrapped in silver-blue lightning, and suddenly he surged forward with explosive speed, thrusting his spear directly at Lin Wu.
Naturally, Lin Wu quickly dodged.
Then, using his first soul skill — Tailwind Speed Boost — he rapidly widened the gap between them.
"Haha! Kid, you can't catch me, right?"
Lin Wu laughed loudly as he sprinted furiously across the Dou Soul Platform, turning to mock Ye Yu.
But Ye Yu silently pursued him across the wide platform, constantly adjusting the electromagnetic field formed by the lightning power his soul force transformed in his legs. Within the arc-shaped plates of mysterious iron wrapped around his legs, he carefully controlled the direction and speed of the magnetic flux.
This enabled the electromagnetic field to repel the earth's magnetic field, creating a magnetic levitation effect.
Originally, Lin Wu held an absolute speed advantage.
He looked down on Ye Yu, thinking it was arrogant for him to chase after a sensitive-attack-type Soul Master like himself.
He continued to mock him.
"Kid, just give up!"
"With your speed, you'll never catch me."
"I am Storm Lin Wu — my speed is like a gale. Once you tire out your stamina, you'll only lose even worse!"
Yet Ye Yu, holding his refined steel spear, kept silently improving his newly created soul skill, his legs crackling with lightning as he kept up the pursuit.
Because of his powerful bodily regeneration.
Especially since he had fused the second soul skill from his Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone — Wildfire Never Dies, Spring Breeze Revives!
This soul skill was a passive effect.
The lightning power converted from his soul force continuously stimulated the cells and muscles in his legs.
While triggering a massive surge in power,
it also caused considerable damage to his leg muscles and cells.
But thanks to his own strong regenerative ability, and the healing life force passively emitted by Wildfire Never Dies, Spring Breeze Revives,
Ye Yu's leg muscles and cells constantly repaired themselves,
growing stronger with each repair!
Moreover, Ye Yu kept adjusting the electromagnetic field conversion — the core essence of this soul skill's lightning power.
Having found the optimal way to repel the earth's magnetic field,
the electromagnetic field formed by his lightning power completely offset his body weight.
The repulsive force even significantly reduced Ye Yu's effective weight.
This made Ye Yu's speed increase steadily despite Lin Wu's scorn and ridicule.
Lin Wu began to panic.
No way! This kid is cheating!
What is this lightning wrapped around his legs?
How can those powerful-looking lightning-wrapped legs not be injured?
Why is he getting faster?!
No! No! Don't come near me!
As a sensitive-attack-type Soul Master, Lin Wu had earned a good reputation with his Storm Battle Technique at the Tian Dou Great Dou Soul Arena.
He clearly understood his advantages and weaknesses.
His advantage: his incredible speed, allowing him to seize initiative in attacks.
His weakness: sensitive-attack types generally have weaker physical strength and power.
If an opponent closed the distance and launched close-range attacks,
and even took initiative in offense,
the sensitive-attack Soul Master was basically doomed!
Meanwhile, in the spectator stands,
the crowd was shocked and confused as they watched Ye Yu's lightning-wrapped legs increase his speed to nearly catch up to Lin Wu.
"No way! Anlan didn't look like a sensitive-attack Soul Master at first! But now that his legs are wrapped in lightning, he's getting faster and faster!"
"Yeah! If Anlan catches Lin Wu, I think Lin Wu's going to lose for sure!"
"What soul skill is that lightning wrapped around his legs? Why didn't he use it earlier?"
At first, Lin Wu's seasoned Dou Soul experience and speed advantage gave him the initiative and had found openings in Ye Yu's clumsy movements to dominate the fight.
Unexpectedly, once Ye Yu wrapped lightning around his legs and switched from defense to offense,
the tide quickly turned.
The spectators were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.
Even the announcer in the sky, holding the soul amplifier, exclaimed in shock:
"Oh my! Anlan, after switching to offense, is gradually catching up to Lin Wu!"
"From appearances, Anlan is a fierce-attack Soul Master, while Lin Wu is a sensitive-attack Soul Master."
"If Anlan catches Lin Wu, Lin Wu is in big trouble!"
Although they were told not to cheer for Ye Yu, knowing that his true martial soul was the Blue Silver Spirit Vine,
they all knew that this lightning-wrapped legs technique wasn't Ye Yu's soul skill.
It had to be a soul skill he created on the spot out of desperation during the fight.
This made Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling feel extremely proud of Ye Yu.
One curious spectator nearby couldn't help but wonder if Ye Yu's lightning-wrapped legs really were a soul skill.
Dugu Yan clasped her slender waist with pride:
"This definitely isn't a soul skill. I didn't see his soul ring light up once. This has to be a soul skill he created live on the Dou Soul Platform!"
"What? This kid created a soul skill on the Dou Soul Platform? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"That's right! Creating soul skills is recognized as the most difficult thing in the Soul Master world. How could he create one so easily?"
"This is definitely a soul ring skill! Absolutely!"
But the crowd around them shouted that it was impossible and refused to believe it.
Dugu Yan was helpless and annoyed but had no way to explain.
She knew Anlan's martial soul was a plant-type soul, so there was no way his soul skill involved lightning wrapping his legs.
Back on the Dou Soul Platform,
after initially refining this self-created soul skill,
Ye Yu's legs crackled with lightning.
Stimulated by the electricity, the explosive power of his leg muscles and cells reached their peak.
At the same time, the lightning power converted through the mysterious iron plates on his bindings formed an electromagnetic field that repelled the earth's magnetic field, making Ye Yu's body extremely light and his speed incredibly fast.
Soon, Ye Yu's lightning-wrapped legs exploded with power with each step, as if he were stepping on thunder itself.
Gripping his refined steel spear, he quickly closed in on Lin Wu.
Since his spear technique wasn't very good at the moment,
Ye Yu simply wielded the steel spear like a staff and swung it toward Lin Wu.
"Third Soul Skill: Storm Tornado!"
Lin Wu hastily activated his third soul skill, turning to release a small tornado storm sweeping toward Ye Yu.
Using the recoil from this skill, Lin Wu instantly pulled away from Ye Yu again.
This was how Lin Wu earned the name "Storm Lin Wu."
But it was unfortunate.
Ye Yu swung his refined steel spear straight into the small tornado storm.
Although the tornado pushed him back several steps, Ye Yu wasn't injured.
After stepping back,
Ye Yu unleashed his self-created soul skill again, which he now called Thunderstorm Step!
His legs wrapped in lightning, seeming to step on thunder with explosive force at each step, he quickly caught up to Lin Wu.
Raising his steel spear high, swinging it like a staff,
Lin Wu, who had been arrogant before, tried to counterattack once caught.
But he was no match for Ye Yu's strength.
After three hits, Lin Wu's face was bruised and swollen, and he was screaming in pain, bones feeling like they might shatter.
He hurriedly shouted his surrender.
"Stop hitting me! I admit defeat! I admit defeat!"
