Faced with the naive question from the vine core, Wen Yu found himself at a loss for words.
He certainly couldn't just tell it outright, "I can't let a strange soul invade my Limit-Breaking Item!"
So, Wen Yu awkwardly delivered another soul strike!
...
The sudden soul attack made the vine core fully comprehend the current situation.
Wen Yu had never intended to let it go!
In fact, for Wen Yu, even though he knew that the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine lacked sufficient intelligence and that this would greatly affect his future tactical arrangements with it, he still couldn't allow a soul that would never be kind to him to take over the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine was too important to Wen Yu!
The energy contained within the vine core would surely benefit the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine. Allowing the vine's soul to enter it was merely a simple experiment for Wen Yu, as he wanted to see if the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine could develop a trace of soul characteristics after this "soul takeover". Wen Yu felt that cultivating a soul from scratch was still more suitable.
If successful, everyone would be happy.
If it failed, then the vine core would have to be destroyed.
Just a moment ago, seeing the vine's soul obliterate the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's fighting instincts, Wen Yu couldn't help but think that this little experiment had failed.
With that thought, Wen Yu delivered another soul strike!
...
Three consecutive soul strikes left the vine's soul entirely in despair.
The pure soul had no chance to fight back against the soul strikes, and coupled with Wen Yu's terrifying strength, the vine's soul was showing signs of collapse!
In Wen Yu's perception, the vine's soul, which resembled a ball of light, had shrunk significantly after enduring three soul strikes, scattering tiny white spots of light that danced around the core of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, rendering the core area like a starry sky.
Sensing that its soul was dissipating, the vine core emitted a wave of despairing mental fluctuation.
The weakening of the soul meant the vine couldn't even convey a complete mental wave; all Wen Yu could perceive were despair, anger, and sadness.
However, despair, anger, and sadness did not deter Wen Yu from his decision to crush the vine's soul!
In the next moment, an even stronger soul strike hit the vine's soul.
...
The white light ball instantly collapsed, bursting forth like a firework, and then fading into nothingness.
Watching the white spots of light scatter around the core of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, Wen Yu remained expressionless.
After a while, he let out a light sigh.
"It seems I've failed."
Failure was to be expected; this small experiment was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision for Wen Yu, who knew little about souls. In fact, there might not be many creatures that have studied souls extensively.
Trying to make the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine give birth to a soul was undoubtedly a challenging task for Wen Yu!
The failure of the small experiment did not disturb Wen Yu's emotions.
Retrieving his perception from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, Wen Yu raised his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
Five minutes had already passed.
"Let's go to Ch Town."
He greeted the three-headed spirit pets standing in front of him, and with a thought, he attempted to recall the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine back to his arm.
However, in the next second, Wen Yu was momentarily taken aback!
...
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine did not respond to Wen Yu's command; instead, it revealed a vague emotion.
"Hungry!!!"
This emotion was extremely weak and vague; if not for Wen Yu's strong soul, he wouldn't have sensed such a faint fluctuation at all.
Realizing the state of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, Wen Yu focused his mind and once again sent his perception through the contract into the core of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
In a short period, perhaps only ten seconds, there had already been a subtle change in the core of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine!
