Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Power of the Plant Martial Spirit
As long as the Plant Domain exists, no one can kill Yun Chuan within its bounds. He can transfer his essence to any plant within the domain at will, achieving instantaneous teleportation. Injuries inflicted on his body can be redirected to the plants in the area, or he can draw life force from them to heal himself.
To kill Yun Chuan, you would need to obliterate all the plants within the domain and deal a fatal blow to his body in one strike. Otherwise, even if all plants are destroyed, he can continually regenerate more plants, sustaining his vitality.
Killing him becomes exceedingly difficult once the Plant Domain is active unless he is attacked before fully deploying the domain or hit with a strike that devastates everything within 300 meters. Otherwise, the possibility of killing him is very slim.
Who can launch an attack that covers 300 meters in one strike? Perhaps some Titled Douluos possess such capability.
However, Yun Chuan is growing stronger. Currently, the domain's range is only in its infancy at 300 meters. As his power increases, the range of the domain will expand. Imagine if one day his domain enveloped the entirety of the Star Dou Forest, the Douluo Continent, or even the entire planet. At that point, not even the descent of gods would stand a chance against him.
Yun Chuan never anticipated that his seemingly auxiliary Plant Goddess Martial Spirit would possess such overwhelming potential. If developed properly, its future achievements could be limitless.
After a preliminary exploration of the Plant Domain's capabilities, Yun Chuan slowly opened his eyes and met a pair of concerned, beautiful ones. That breathtakingly stunning face belonged to none other than Bibi Dong.
"Mother, what's wrong?" he asked instinctively.
"Chuan'er, what happened just now?" Bibi Dong asked worriedly. Although she had sensed the emergence of the domain around Yun Chuan earlier and was amazed, her primary concern was her child's safety.
"I'm fine."
Feeling a warm current in his heart, Yun Chuan smiled and replied, "I just discovered that my Martial Spirit has a domain, so I instinctively tried it out."
Soul Masters from prominent families or powerful factions typically enjoy many advantages over commoners. They inherit generations of accumulated knowledge and access secrets and cultivation techniques unknown to the masses.
Since Yun Chuan was around one or two years old, the archives of the Spirit Hall have been open to him. This allowed him to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Soul Master system. His current knowledge surpasses that of many instructors at Soul Master academies, as they generally teach common knowledge, while the truly valuable secrets are guarded fiercely by major factions.
In hindsight, Yun Chuan found it laughable how people in fanfiction often portrayed Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang as a paragon of theory. Most of his so-called revolutionary theories were well-known to large clans but withheld from the public. To them, Grandmaster was nothing more than a joke—a man flaunting outdated information while feeling smug.
The original protagonist, Tang San, relied on plot armor and Tang Sect's unparalleled skills. Without these, Grandmaster's theories alone might have ruined him. It's baffling how so many fanfiction writers glorified Grandmaster, even making their protagonists apprentice under him. They must have been deeply obsessed with Tang San's narrative.
After explaining the abilities of his Plant Goddess Martial Spirit to Bibi Dong, Yun Chuan eagerly wanted to demonstrate them. Like a child showing off a new toy, he wanted to impress his mother.
Bibi Dong consented, asking Chrysanthemum Douluo to spar with Yun Chuan and evaluate the domain's capabilities to determine his development path.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, named Yue Guan, was a Titled Douluo at level 94, with the title "Chrysanthemum." The chrysanthemum emblem on the Spirit Hall's command tokens symbolized him. Despite appearing to be in his 30s or 40s, he was over 80 years old and one of Bibi Dong's closest confidants. Alongside Ghost Douluo, the two were her strongest subordinates.
For Yun Chuan's soul ring hunt, Bibi Dong brought her top combatants, demonstrating her immense care for him.
"Alright, Chuan'er, unleash your domain and attack me," Chrysanthemum Douluo said confidently, standing in the open and gesturing for Yun Chuan to begin.
"Alright, Chrysanthemum Douluo. Excuse my offense!"
Yun Chuan closed his eyes, and an invisible force field emanated from his body, spreading outward. As the Plant Domain unfolded...
Chrysanthemum Douluo and the distant observers—Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo—were surprised to find that Yun Chuan's presence had vanished. Though his figure remained visible, his aura blended seamlessly with the surrounding flora.
"His presence hasn't vanished; it has merged with the surrounding plants!" Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly deduced.
As the domain expanded to cover 300 meters, Yun Chuan's small figure flickered and disappeared.
"Ah, so he can teleport freely within his domain! Very Good!" Chrysanthemum Douluo marveled. The ability to blend with the domain's plants and move freely within it made him incredibly hard to target.
