Bai He also felt that his granddaughter was going to win. Once they were airborne, no matter how fast Ye Yu was, it wouldn't help him if he couldn't fly.
However, the next second, they were shocked to see Ye Yu stepping on the air, instantaneously soaring into the sky, continuously climbing higher by stepping on the air.
Bai He was astonished: "This isn't a flight-type soul technique, what kind of ability is this?"
Niu Gao was equally shocked: "Is this stepping on air? My god, how strong his leg power must be."
Ye Yu, in the blink of an eye, dashed behind Bai Shenxiang, lightly touching her back.
Bai Shenxiang, too stunned to react, used her First Soul Skill, surprisingly manifesting four shadows that appeared identical to her.
Five Bai Shenxiangs flew rapidly in different directions, clearly, only one was the real body.
On the ground, Tang San used his Purple Extreme Demon Pupil, identifying the real body.
Bai He breathed a sigh of relief: "For Ye Yu to touch my granddaughter, it'd take around five times the effort."
Five Bai Shenxiangs spoke simultaneously: "Can you tell which one is the real body?"
Ye Yu was indifferent: "Does it matter?"
"Of course, only the real body is tangible; the rest are illusions, touching them doesn't count."
Ye Yu said: "Touching them all once will reveal the truth."
In the air, Ye Yu displayed extreme speed, astonishingly flickering five times in a second, touching Bai Shenxiang on the last flicker.
Bai Shenxiang was shaken, initially thinking her clones would force Ye Yu to spend several times the energy, but did not expect Ye Yu to be so fast, rendering the four clones useless.
Bai Shenxiang used her Fourth Soul Skill, flying in a straight line, accelerating further; her Fourth Soul Skill grants straight-line flight acceleration.
Bai Shenxiang flew a thousand meters in the blink of an eye, evidently attempting to distance herself where the rules didn't specify a range; she'd just wait until time was up.
However, Ye Yu sprinted even faster in the air, reaching Bai Shenxiang within three seconds, causing Bai Shenxiang to widen her beautiful eyes, unable to stop fully during her full-speed flight, as her wings ceased flapping but she didn't halt.
Due to the high-speed straight-line flight, changing direction abruptly was difficult, and stopping led to an inertia-driven direct collision into Ye Yu's embrace.
Bai Shenxiang collided frontally with Ye Yu, who quickly tapped her arms four times before flickering to the ground.
Subsequently, Bai Shenxiang flapped her wings and landed, head lowered, face flushed.
Bai He naturally knew why his granddaughter's face was so red; it was indeed an awkward moment.
Bai He said: "We lost, the grievances between the Agile Race, Vast Heaven Sect, and Tang Hao are written off."
Bai Shenxiang suffered a blow but accepted it willingly; Ye Yu was too terrifying.
Initially convinced she wouldn't be Ye Yu's opponent in a decade of cultivation, she didn't anticipate such a defeat in speed, with Ye Yu not using soul techniques or soul bones, relying solely on himself—truly terrifying.
Her proud self lost but accepted it completely without any complaints.
Tang San said: "Senior Bai, are you willing to lead the Agile Race to join the Tang Sect?"
Bai He showed a trace of sadness; they were the fastest on the continent but lacked strong attack power and defense, being the weakest among the four clans.
Bai He said: "Would joining not be detrimental? Our strength is the weakest, and our funds are the least."
Tang San replied: "It's a lack of suitable space for you to showcase. The Agile Race coupled with hidden weapons will surely be the most daunting presence for enemies within the Tang Sect."
Thinking of hidden weapons, Bai He knew the terror of these so-called hidden weapons, albeit requiring considerable money, let alone higher-grade hidden weapons.
Bai He looked at Ye Yu, thinking since his granddaughter lost, he wanted to try himself.
"Then let me compete with Ye Yu, within the time of a stick of incense, if he touches me once, I lose. I'll join, contribute all the sect's funds to the Tang Sect, and strive to contribute."
Ye Yu nodded: "Alright, but conversely, if you touch me once, I lose."
The difference between the two was substantial; Bai He assumed Ye Yu wouldn't touch him, perceiving himself as faster; yet Ye Yu offered for him to touch him, believing he could win.
Niu Gao reminded: "Ye Yu, although your strength is formidable, your combat power rivals a Ninety-First Level Title Douluo, but speaking of speed, this old bird here is extremely fast. Even a standard non-agile-type Title Douluo would find not being touched by the old bird within a stick of incense difficult."
Ye Yu's interest piqued, obviously aiming to train himself; this was a great opportunity.
Ye Yu had always wanted to hone and advance his Free Will Extreme Intent Skill, feeling that Bai He, with the first speed Martial Soul, could serve as a honing reference.
"I'm sure, let's go."
"Alright, let me see how fast you really are."
Bai He also wanted to witness Ye Yu's true speed since he'd not used soul bones or soul techniques.
The incense was lit, Bai He moved instantly; Tang San gasped, using his Purple Extreme Demon Pupil, merely seeing a white blur flash forward, and instantly arrive before Ye Yu.
Niu Gao and Titan felt uneasy because Ye Yu hadn't released his Martial Soul.
Tang San sighed inwardly: "So fast, even my Purple Extreme Demon Pupil cultivated to micro levels struggles to capture it."
"You lost."
Bai He's hand reached out, grabbing seemingly at Ye Yu, who appeared yet to react.
However, the hand indeed didn't catch anything, only grabbing Ye Yu's afterimage.
Ye Yu had already flickered behind Bai He; Bai He turned around, surprised, looking at Ye Yu's right leg, gleaming with dark red light—green leg bone.
Both Bai He, Niu Gao, and Titan were extremely shocked, eyes wide open.
"This is... a one hundred thousand years or more External Soul Bone?!"
Bai He knew, this soul bone was of the agility class, no wonder no soul techniques were used to evade.
Niu Gao exclaimed: "Not only does he have terrifying soul ring configurations but also terrifying soul bone configurations, truly a demon."
Bai He furrowed his brows: "No wonder he's so confident with such a soul bone, I'll have to go all out!"
Bai He released his Martial Soul, simultaneously unveiling eight soul rings—two yellow, two purple, four black.
At the same time, Ye Yu moved again; almost simultaneously, Bai He appeared at Ye Yu's previous position, his hand having already swept past.
Tang San on the side was shocked; he hadn't seen Bai He move, his gaze still lingering at Bai He's previous position, yet Bai He had already swept past where Ye Yu stood, moving far too quickly.
Tang San exclaimed: "Truly worthy of being the first speed Martial Soul."
Bai He's speed was astonishing, practically defying expectations, yet he missed grabbing Ye Yu again.
Bai He showed admiration in his eyes: "Good lad, you dodged again."
Simultaneously admiring, he asked curiously: "Ye Yu, do you have a girlfriend?"
Ye Yu paused: "Why ask suddenly?"
Bai He chuckled: "My granddaughter is not young anymore..."
Before Bai He finished speaking, Bai Shenxiang blushed and stomped her foot angrily, saying with a flushed face: "Grandpa, what are you talking about, I'm only seventeen, still quite early."
Ye Yu was speechless but unsurprised, only blaming himself for being too exceptional.
Tang San chuckled: "Another one wanting to tie the knot with Brother Yu."
Bai He asked: "Has this happened before?"
Tang San nodded: "Yes, quite often."
Bai He sighed lightly: "All the more reason not to miss out."
Sighing lightly, Bai He glanced at Bai Shenxiang.
Bai Shenxiang felt extremely frustrated and fled inside the house.
Tang San teased Ye Yu: "Brother Yu, I think the title of national son-in-law is none other than yours."
