90: A vast expanse of azure demon vines!
Furthermore, not only had Li Qingnan's originally severed vines regrown, but even more new, verdant vines had sprouted along with them!
In an instant, the number of sky-azure demonic vines had doubled!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air, dozens of sky-azure demonic vines simultaneously strangled toward the direction where Lin Yuan was located!
With such a large number of sky-azure demonic vines, relying solely on his claws, Lin Yuan naturally could not resist them.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately roared, gathering scorching energy within his massive maw!
White Heat Ray!!
"Boom!!"
Accompanied by a booming sound, the White Heat Ray, emitting a scorching high temperature, immediately shot out from Lin Yuan's massive maw, sweeping and cutting toward the sky-azure demonic vines before him!
The White Heat Ray, with its temperature reaching an extreme, could simply be said to be sharper than a blade; it was like a hot knife cutting through butter, instantly and effortlessly slicing through a dozen sky-azure demonic vines!
This move of Lin Yuan's immediately drew gasps of astonishment from the surrounding crowd!
The excitement of this battle clearly far exceeded their expectations!
One must know that whether it was Lin Yuan or Li Qingnan, both were outstanding talents among the New Students!
This kind of duel between Geniuses is not something one can witness in person just anytime!
And those who originally did not think highly of Lin Yuan at all now had their perspectives changed significantly!
At the very least, looking at the current situation, Lin Yuan was now completely on equal footing with Li Qingnan!
"Is that all the ability you have?"
Lin Yuan's voice echoed in Li Qingnan's ear.
This slightly contemptuous tone immediately caused Li Qingnan to frown.
He clearly had not expected that his round of attacks would still be blocked by Lin Yuan!
Although his vines could regenerate infinitely, this also consumed energy.
Moreover, Li Qingnan's pride would never allow him to defeat Lin Yuan through a war of attrition.
Even if he won that way, it would be too unsightly!
He wanted to crush Lin Yuan in front of everyone with overwhelming force; only then could he prove his strength!
Thinking of this, Li Qingnan's gaze immediately turned icy.
"Since you want to court death, then I shall fulfill your wish!"
Accompanied by a low shout from Li Qingnan, the cyan-green light blooming around him became even more dazzling!
An even more massive number of sky-azure demonic vines grew out from his body!
This was the terrifying aspect of a plant-type beast soul; as long as Li Qingnan possessed sufficiently strong power, he could split and grow countless sky-azure demonic vines!
At this very moment, hundreds of sky-azure demonic vines immediately launched an assault toward Lin Yuan!
Watching this scene before them, all the spectators present couldn't help but hold their breath.
It had to be said that Li Qingnan's methods were simply too terrifying.
These sky-azure demonic vines covering the sky were suffocating just to look at.
Even King Scale Tiger couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not very optimistic."
"With this density of attacks, it is unlikely that Lin Yuan can defend against them."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he whispered: "If he cannot defend against them, will Lin Yuan lose?"
"The possibility is very high."
King Scale Tiger sighed and said: "With Li Qingnan's ability, once he succeeds, Lin Yuan's situation will be quite dire."
"I had already warned him about this before."
Zhao Ming shook his head helplessly: "Even if you warned him, it's useless; Li Qingnan's overwhelming offensive is simply not something an ordinary person can withstand."
Meanwhile, Wang Jinze on the side had not spoken the entire time, silently watching Lin Yuan on the arena, his eyes flickering slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Under the sweep of Lin Yuan's White Heat Ray, the arena was already covered with severed sky-azure demonic vines, some of which had even been scorched into charcoal.
However, even so, Lin Yuan's White Heat Ray was merely an energy beam and could not cover all directions!
Under these circumstances, blind spots were bound to appear!
"Swish, swish, swish—"
Soon, several sky-azure demonic vines attacked Lin Yuan's body at extreme speed!
With the added speed, the penetrating power of these sky-azure demonic vines was extremely astonishing; they instantly pierced through the scales on Lin Yuan's body and penetrated into his flesh!
A wave of pain from torn flesh immediately flooded into Lin Yuan's mind.
He gritted his teeth fiercely, forcibly suppressing this pain.
Pain is the body's self-protection mechanism.
But the more he was in this situation, the less Lin Yuan could allow pain to interfere with his ability to make calm judgments.
And just at this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the energy within his body was gradually being drained away!
Lin Yuan's gaze turned cold; he knew clearly in his heart that the things draining the energy from his body were the sky-azure demonic vines that had pierced into him!
This was Li Qingnan's second ability besides regeneration: Energy Absorption!
As long as the sky-azure demonic vines pierced into an opponent's flesh, they could forcibly absorb the opponent's energy!
If this situation were allowed to continue, the energy within Lin Yuan's body would become increasingly weak, while the energy within Li Qingnan's body would become increasingly abundant!
With one rising and the other falling, it could almost be said that Lin Yuan's defeat was already sealed!
Back then, King Scale Tiger had been defeated by this very move of Li Qingnan's!
Although his strength was greater than Li Qingnan's, he was similarly unable to break this ability of the sky-azure demonic vines!
Under the condition of having his internal energy absorbed, King Scale Tiger was completely unable to unleash his full strength, and naturally, he was defeated by Li Qingnan!
However, King Scale Tiger had once revealed a piece of information to Lin Yuan.
That was that Li Qingnan had also had a duel with Chu Tianyi.
However, in that duel, Li Qingnan lost very miserably!
His sky-azure demonic vines couldn't even touch Chu Tianyi, let alone absorb energy from the latter!
Under such circumstances, Li Qingnan was utterly powerless before Chu Tianyi!
But Lin Yuan's current situation was somewhat different.
Because he could not, like Chu Tianyi, rely on his own strength to completely avoid Li Qingnan's attacks.
Since that was the case, he had to come up with another strategy to break the situation and thereby defeat Li Qingnan!
And as more and more sky-azure demonic vines pierced into Lin Yuan's body, a smile of certainty in victory appeared on Li Qingnan's face: "Why are you looking at me with that gaze? Are you already prepared to beg me for mercy?"
