Thick roots, as thick as arms, burst from the stone and rapidly attacked Yu Heng.
Yu Heng retreated urgently, narrowly avoiding the risk of being pierced by the sharp tips of the roots.
Sweating cold profusely, Yu Heng looked at Zhang Ergou with disbelief.
"Aren't you a fire-element spiritual root? How can you cast wood-element spells?" Yu Heng said as he retreated, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
The longer he fought Zhang Ergou, the greater the shock he felt.
"Heh heh, doesn't everyone have a few secrets? Besides, are we that familiar? Why should I tell you!"
Zhang Ergou sneered and continued to cast Shen Mu Yao.
At this moment, the plant roots were not only emerging from the ground but were also swarming towards Yu Heng, covering the sky. In an instant, the area where Yu Heng was located was surrounded by plant roots.
Yu Heng dodged and weaved, but ultimately could not escape the trap Zhang Ergou had set long ago.
*Snap!*
A plant root struck Yu Heng directly, making a crisp sound.
"Damn it, no way, Senior Brother Yu Heng is actually trapped by Zhang Ergou's spell!"
"This is too powerful. We haven't seen him for only a short time, and Zhang Ergou has learned new spell skills again!"
"Unbelievable!" The disciples in the stands watched Yu Heng being whipped by the plant roots, unable to counterattack, and couldn't help but discuss.
They had a new understanding of Zhang Ergou. Every time he appeared, he brought them shock.
Zhang Ergou controlled the plant roots, quickly closing in on Yu Heng. Each root whipped towards Yu Heng like a flexible whip.
"Kid, I really underestimated you!" After the initial panic, Yu Heng gradually adapted to being surrounded by plant roots. He also discovered that Zhang Ergou did not seem very proficient with this type of spell.
It was as if he was casting it for the first time, so its power was not as significant as imagined.
Although he endured the pain of being struck by the roots a few times, Yu Heng also grasped the pattern of Zhang Ergou controlling the plant roots.
He dodged as much as possible in the confined space.
*Hmph!*
Yu Heng snorted. As another root struck, he discovered a flaw in Zhang Ergou's casting of Shen Mu Yao.
He cast an earth-element technique, and a small mountain directly parted two plant roots.
Instantly, the plant roots scattered and disappeared.
"Kid, you're nothing special, haha!" Seeing that his spell had been deciphered by Yu Heng, Yu Heng laughed heartily.
*Hmm?*
Zhang Ergou's brows furrowed. He hadn't expected Yu Heng to find the flaw in his spell so quickly.
Perhaps it was because he was an earth-element spiritual root, Yu Heng was very sensitive to changes in the earth. He had previously ignored the changes on the surface of the training ground because he had always thought Zhang Ergou was a fire-element spiritual root cultivator.
Since he had been surrounded by Zhang Ergou's plant roots, he had used his powerful soul perception to sense the changes in the earth.
The familiarity that an earth-element spiritual root cultivator had with the earth was something others could not understand.
This was also why Yu Heng could decipher Zhang Ergou's spell so quickly.
"Kid, do you have any other moves? Bring them all out!" After breaking free from the encirclement, Yu Heng's expression was solemn, and he dared not be careless.
He didn't believe Zhang Ergou only had this much skill.
Seeing that neither the wood-element spell Shen Mu Yao nor the fire-element spell Huo Ling Quan had worked against Yu Heng, Zhang Ergou was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
*Bang!*
A wall of earth suddenly appeared behind Zhang Ergou, directly hitting him as he retreated to dodge.
"What did I say? Senior Brother Yu Heng is Senior Brother Yu Heng; he wouldn't fail so quickly."
"Exactly. Although Zhang Ergou has used some strange spell skills, he is still no match for Senior Brother Yu Heng."
"That's natural. Senior Brother Yu Heng is the direct disciple of Uncle-Master Xia Yang; how could an ordinary person compare?"
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the training ground reversed, and the disciples' discussions instantly shifted again.
They praised Yu Heng endlessly.
They now looked down on Zhang Ergou, who had been on the offensive moments ago and was now at a disadvantage.
His back hit the earth wall, and Zhang Ergou quickly moved aside using Ying Huan. However, Yu Heng, who had extensive combat experience, would not give him a chance to escape. From the Su Dan Novel Network.
In the direction Zhang Ergou moved, another earth wall instantly appeared.
Then, an earth wall appeared opposite this one.
Suddenly, Zhang Ergou was surrounded on three sides, facing Yu Heng directly, and his situation took a sharp downturn.
"Let's see where you can run now!" Yu Heng's eyes were cold, and a palm print of earthy yellow shot towards Zhang Ergou.
Zhang Ergou hurriedly met the palm with his own.
*Bang!*
The palm prints collided, making a loud noise that shook the entire training ground.
"Zhang Ergou, if this is all you've got, then it's my turn to perform!"
Yu Heng sneered. When he first started fighting Zhang Ergou, he thought Zhang Ergou was qualified to be his opponent.
Now, it seemed he had worried too much. Zhang Ergou didn't have as many strange and unpredictable methods as rumored.
His fire-element techniques had limited damage to him.
Although the wood-element techniques perfectly countered his earth-element techniques, Zhang Ergou didn't seem to have mastered those spell skills very well.
This also gave Yu Heng an opportunity to reverse the situation.
"Heh heh, is that so?" Zhang Ergou was not panicked. Seeing himself surrounded on three sides, he did not rush.
With nowhere to hide, he stopped dodging and rushed directly at Yu Heng, unleashing the full speed of Ying Huan.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Yu Heng, who realized Zhang Ergou was already close.
Yu Heng was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Zhang Ergou to dare to rush at him in such a situation. Wasn't this seeking death!
A cold smile played on his lips as he shot a fierce palm wind towards Zhang Ergou's face.
If this strike hit, Zhang Ergou would be disfigured.
Then, forget about charming female cultivators; Liu Cuilan might not even pay attention to him.
Zhang Ergou couldn't let this happen to him. In a moment of emergency, Zhang Ergou sidestepped to dodge.
However, the distance was too close. While his face dodged Yu Heng's palm wind, his shoulder took a heavy blow.
*Puff!*
He spat out a mouthful of blood. This was the first serious injury Zhang Ergou had sustained in his battle with Yu Heng.
"That kid Zhang Ergou is spitting blood! As expected, Senior Brother Yu Heng is stronger!"
"That's natural. It seems Senior Brother Yu Heng will win in an instant."
"I thought Zhang Ergou would bring another surprise this time, but it seems hopeless."
With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Zhang Ergou retreated repeatedly.
Yu Heng, who had one foot in the Golden Core stage, was indeed incomparable to Wei Chen and Song Zhinan.
As he retreated, Zhang Ergou pondered a solution.
He had wanted to use his speed advantage to get close to Yu Heng and use Shi Xin Nu, but Yu Heng didn't give him the chance to get close.
It was as if he had already heard about his close-quarters combat skills.
Suddenly, Zhang Ergou had a flash of inspiration and summoned an eight trigrams mirror into his hand.
"Senior Brother Yu, come, look here!" Zhang Ergou shouted.
A white light flashed and shot towards Yu Heng...
