Yang Yu tried to use his silver tongue to badger Wan Huawen into changing his opponent, but Wan Huawen was adamant about having Yang Yu compete against his son.
After the negotiation failed, Yang Yu had no choice but to take up his shield and sword for the battle.
Upon seeing Wan Huawen, Wan Ze stopped walking; he stood still as if waiting for Wan Huawen's attack and occasionally took swigs of liquor.
Yang Yu did not immediately approach Wan Ze, but instead, he planted his sword in front of him and activated his skill.
The quantity and strength of the thorns produced by "Thorny Binding" depended on how long Yang Yu had been channeling magic power into the ground.
Since Wan Ze showed no signs of attacking, Yang Yu naturally aimed to maximize the effect of this skill, perhaps creating a slim chance of victory.
Sensing that he could no longer increase the life force near his sword blade, Yang Yu spurred this life force to encircle Wan Ze,
"Thorny Binding!"
