"Control... Control!"

Lin Xi and the others immediately had a worried and shocked expression.

Everyone else had the same dramatic change too.

Being able to stimulate the growth of plants was already extremely terrifying, let alone being able to control them at will. A wood-element awakened one was truly terrifying.

At that moment.

Countless Demon-Locking Vines swept towards Ye Lingchen like phantom snakes. The scene resembled a myriad of snakes roaming about, making their everyone's scalp go numb.

"Spear Technique, Phoenix Spear!"

As Ye Lingchen retreated, he rotated the long spear around his body and drew an arc.

Instantly, a sharp Qi wave shot out with Ye Lingchen as its core. All the surrounding vines in its way were sliced off.

Ye Lingchen's hands did not stop moving. The long spear casted shadows all over the sky. For a moment, the spear Qi was like a machine gun, crushing all the plants within a hundred meter radius!

"So...so powerful!"

Wu Tianbao could not help but exclaim, "That spear Qi is like a dragon, agile and domineering. I didn't expect Ye Lingchen to have held back in the previous matches. A spear technique like that could already be ranked in the top three among his peers!"

The battle had just only begun, but the power displayed by Ye Lingchen and Kevin had already shocked the whole audience.

Everyone else was all somewhat dwarfed in comparison to them.

"This will be tricky!"

Tie Jun frowned slightly. "Look at Kevin. It's obvious that he doesn't need much energy to control those plants. On the other hand, Ye Lingchen, will definitely consume a lot of energy using his spear technique in such a large area. If this continues, he'll definitely lose."

"This is too much." Jing Shan took in a breath of cold air.

"Isn't wood afraid of fire? Why isn't Ye Lingchen using fire?" Lin Xi asked.

A martial artist's spirit power had many uses. Although it couldn't be directly converted into fire, it was still very easy to generate high temperatures. As long as that was Ye Lingchen's intention, he could easily turn his long spear into a fire-pointed spear, but he did not do that.

Tie Jun shook his head. "It's not that easy."

In layman's terms, wood was indeed afraid of fire, but there were exceptions to everything. The Demon-Locking Vines just so happened to be the type of plant that did not fear fire much.

A lot of common sense that existed on Earth would be distorted in the Void Realm. The Demon-Locking Vine's vitality was extremely vigorous and its growth speed was extremely fast. With sharp barbs and firm roots, it was already very difficult for ye Lingchen to use his long spear to crush the vines.

Then, Tie Jun added, "Of course, normal fire is useless against the Demon-Locking Vine, but the Void Realm has another special flame. The outcome would be rather different then."

"So it's helpless then?" Jing Shan asked begrudgingly. "Isn't it cheating to bring a plant seed into the arena?"

In the arena, those vines grew endlessly and constantly emerged from the ground despite Ye Lingchen's best efforts to destroy them. The speed of their growth was so fast that one would be dizzy just looking at it. It was a helpless feeling to be meeting such an opponent.

"It's not entirely helpless. If Ye Lingchen can destroy everything with one spear attack, then the battle will be over."

At almost the same time as Tie Jun's words, Ye Lingchen's spear technique suddenly changed.

The spear shadows that filled the sky converged into one point. His body was several times faster than before, and the aura of his whole body also increased dramatically at this moment.

"It's coming!"

"One spear attack to decide the winner?"

"Did he first use the spear Qi to sweep off and create a vacuum area for himself before accumulating his power to unleash his strongest attack?"

Everyone had guessed Ye Lingchen's target.

A cold light flashed.

Those vines were easily cut apart, regardless of the direction. Some were even cut by the spear Qi when they were still a few meters away.

That spear attack was unstoppable!

"Such powerful spiritual strength! Ye Lingchen's power and speed has already surpassed the peak of Innate Stage!" Wu Tianbao could not help but stand up in shock.

The spear attack had locked onto Kevin's location from a distance.

All attacks were crushed with one move!

In the blink of an eye, the long spear was just inches away from Kevin.

However...

A small sapling suddenly appeared from the originally calm soil under Kevin's feet. Then, the sapling grew rapidly, reaching a height of one meter!

A height of one meter could not be considered tall, but that tree was exceptionally thick and sturdy.

It was one meter tall, but three meters wide, like a large bucket!

The tree had blocked Kevin's path accurately!

Screech!

The long spear pierced through, emitting an ear-piercing explosion sound. What was surprising was that the originally unstoppable speed of the long spear suddenly decreased. It was only able to pierce through half of the spear before it was unable to enter any further!

"The Iron-Eating Tree!"

Wu Tianbao lived up to his role as a commentator. He was knowledgeable and quickly recalled the name of that tree.

"It's a plant from the Void Realm again! The Iron-Eating Tree doesn't need to be watered. It uses metal as fertilizer, hence its name. Therefore, it also has all the characteristics of metal: it is unafraid of water and fire and is as hard as iron. Kevin used that tree as a shield, and its defense is simply terrifying!"

"Cheating! This is cheating!" Jing Shan was already shouting madly, "It's all plants from the Void Realm. This isn't fair at all!"

Murica's fearlessness turned out to be because they were so well prepared.

Whether it was the Demon-Locking Vines or the Iron-Eating Tree, Murica had obviously spent a lot of money to get the seeds of those special plants. With the use of those plants in a fight, Kevin could definitely be considered invincible among those of the same level as he was!

"Go on and concede."

Kevin looked at Ye Lingchen indifferently, "You'll die if you continue fighting."

Ye Lingchen's expression did not change as he said, "Stimulating the growth of the Iron-Eating Tree will consume a lot of your energy, right?"

The moment the Iron-Eating tree grew, Ye Lingchen noticed that Kevin's face had suddenly turned pale and beads of sweat had appeared on the latter's forehead.

"It's no secret. The harder it is to stimulate the growth of plants, the more energy I will have to use. The Demon-Locking Vine itself is very strong, so it will be much easier for me to control it, but the growth cycle of the Iron-Eating Tree is too long, so it will consume a lot of energy for me."

Kevin put his palms together. "Don't blame me if you don't want to admit defeat."

Creak, creak, creak!

A crisp sound came from the Iron-Eating Tree. The part that had been pierced by Ye Lingchen started to heal and began biting tightly onto Ye Lingchen's long spear. Ye Lingchen would not be able to pull it out quickly because of that.

Meanwhile, countless beautiful flowers started to grow out from the Demon-Locking Vines.

The flowers were yellow in color and they were so beautifully tender.

Those Demon-Locking Vines had all turned black, as if their life force had been sucked dry by these flowers, and they withered quickly.

In just an instant, a strange fragrance covered the entire arena.

That fragrance entered Ye Lingchen's nose, and his footing wavered slightly even though he had the ability to be impervious to all poisons.

"Hidden Groundflower! It's the Hidden Groundflower! "

Wu Tianbao's voice trembled with fear.

Back in the arena, those Trinity Convergence martial artists unleashed their spiritual power and sealed it off, preventing the slightest trace of that fragrance from leaking out.

Tie Jun and Sun Hongtao's expressions changed drastically at the same time. Their first instinct was to shout for Ye Lingchen to admit defeat.

However, Ye Lingchen's laughter then came from the stage. "So this is how a wood-based battle method works. Let me try."
