The Number One Sect Under Heaven

"No, the damage is too great."

Ah Yin wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, looking somewhat disappointed. She had been exhausted just now.

This was an extremely delicate task that consumed a great deal of energy. On top of that, it was her first attempt, so it had drained a huge amount of Spiritual power.

Fortunately, this was the Blue Silver Forest, and there was also a Blue Silver King nearby. The Spiritual power she had expended was quickly replenished. It was just too difficult to perfectly separate the Innate Ability belonging to the Soul Beast from the Spirit Ring.

"Failing the first time is perfectly normal. We'll take it slowly. We'll succeed eventually."

Tian Hao comforted her. This had epoch-making significance and was enough to open a new chapter for the Soul Master World.

It was just like Huo Yuhao establishing the Soul Spirit System ten thousand years later, except his own method was even more perfect.

After all, Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit System could only form contracts with willing Soul Beasts and turn them into Soul Spirits. His method, on the other hand, would take all the Spirit Rings of Soul Beasts that had died in the forest for various reasons and use them as raw materials, practically eliminating the need to actively hunt Soul Beasts.

One had to understand that the natural world had always followed the rules of survival of the fittest and the weak being preyed upon by the strong. Countless Soul Beasts were killed while being hunted every year, no fewer than those hunted by humans.

Even plant-type Soul Beasts were eaten by herbivorous Soul Beasts. And if a forest fire broke out, countless Soul Beasts would be burned to death.

"But how to prevent the Spirit Ring from dissipating is another problem."

Ah Yin raised another difficulty. She knew very well that this was equally challenging and likewise involved the Heavenly Rules.

As for dismantling the Spirit Ring, she had already tried it once. Although she had failed, it was not impossible in essence. She only needed to practice more in the future.

It was even unnecessary to enlarge the Spirit Ring with Soul Power as the young man had just done. It could be forcibly dismantled.

"Spirit Rings are difficult to preserve, but another thing produced by Soul Beasts can be preserved for a long time, even permanently."

Tian Hao reminded her. He had thought of this long ago.

"You mean Soul Bones?"

Ah Yin pondered this, feeling that it was a good Proposal.

"As far as I know, after a Soul Beast dies, the Origin power and innate characteristics within its body will condense into a Spirit Ring under the guidance of the Heavenly Rules. Some Soul Beasts are naturally powerful and possess an abundance of Origin power. Besides condensing into a Spirit Ring, the remainder can fuse with the bones in the part of the body they use most frequently and transform into a Soul Bone.

"It might even form a Soul Bone Skill within the Soul Bone, just like a Spirit Ring Skill.

"So I believe Soul Beast bones would be the perfect vessel for temporarily sealing the Origin power extracted from the Spirit Ring..."

After explaining his thoughts, Tian Hao believed this method was highly feasible.

But the specific operation would still have to rely on Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor. After all, she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and surely knew far more about the mysteries of Spirit Rings and Soul Bones.

As expected, Ah Yin fell into deep thought after hearing this. She found the method increasingly feasible, but someone nearby became Unhappy.

"You're thinking of creating Soul Bones too?"

Tang Hao rejected the idea with a cold laugh. Seeing this person standing so close to Ah Yin made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, this person's identity was suspicious, which made him even more Unhappy and Guard Against him.

"The formation of a Soul Bone isn't that simple. It should also require the Qi-Blood power within a Soul Beast's body. That's also why refining a Soul Bone can strengthen a Soul Master's physical constitution.

"However, the required amount of Qi-Blood is tremendous, and only a very small number of Soul Beasts can meet the standard."

Tian Hao did not mind Tang Hao's cold hostility. He even patiently explained the matter in detail.

Since he had already established his persona in front of the Blue Silver King, he had to maintain it.

"What meaning is there in doing all this?"

Tang Hao grew even more Unhappy, not only with the person but also with the denial of his ideas.

When a Soul Master refined a Soul Beast's Spirit Ring, his Martial Soul would automatically choose the Soul Beast's most compatible innate talent and form it into a Soul Skill. There was no need to choose one personally.

What use would dismantling it be after you had done it?

Besides, hunting Spirit Rings was also a form of tempering for Soul Masters themselves. Only Soul Masters who grew stronger through such trials could become powerful.

"Human, you are not welcome here. Please leave."

Before Tian Hao could speak, the Blue Silver King issued an unhappy dismissal.

He had already felt displeased with these two humans yesterday. Today, this human had repeatedly denied the research he and his honored guest had conducted. Who do you think you are?

"I don't want to stay here either."

Tang Hao had always possessed a domineering and explosive temper. Combined with the influence of the Divine Slaughter's Domain, how could he endure this insult?

If Ah Yin had not been beside him, he would have swung his hammer over long ago.

How dare a Soul Beast speak to him like that?

"Ah Yin, let's go."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Ah Yin's wrist, preparing to leave with her.

They had already arranged their itinerary. The Blue Silver King had used some unknown method to summon Ah Yin here, and now that they were leaving, they could simply continue with their previous plans.

Tang Xiao, standing to the side, also nodded in agreement. There was No Need for them to remain here and waste time doing meaningless things.

They needed to hurry up, undergo their trials, and improve themselves. That was the true path.

However, Tang Hao grabbed at empty air. Ah Yin had avoided him.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, why don't you wait for me in the city we visited earlier? I once received a great favor from the Blue Silver King, so I have no choice but to help with this."

Ah Yin spoke tactfully. Perhaps her two Sworn Brothers, as humans, did not understand the significance of this research, but as a member of the Soul Beast race—and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast at that—she understood it deeply.

If this research could truly be completed, it would not only resolve the conflicts between humans and Soul Beasts. At the very least, it could greatly reduce Soul Masters' hunting of Soul Beasts. This would benefit the entire Soul Beast Clan, and she had to persist.

"Ah Yin, you..."

Tang Hao had not expected Ah Yin to say this. For a moment, he did not know how to persuade her and could only glare angrily at Tian Hao.

Tian Hao responded with a gentle smile.

"We'll wait for you in the city outside the forest."

The more steady Tang Xiao pressed down on his younger brother's shoulder. He nodded at Ah Yin before leaving.

Since the Blue Silver King had driven them out, they truly had no way to remain. They would wait outside and, at the same time, use their clan's power to investigate those three people.

"I'm sorry."

Ah Yin sent the two men out of the Blue Silver Forest before returning and apologizing to Tian Hao.

"Sister Ah Yin, how did you come to know the two young masters of the Clear Sky Sect? Neither of them is a simple person."

Tian Hao put on a curious expression, pondering how he should break apart their relationship and prevent this foolish woman from truly being tricked to death in the future.

"We met by chance. Is something wrong?"

Seeing the strange expression on Tian Hao's face, Ah Yin asked in confusion.

"Then you may not understand the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect is extremely powerful at present. It has many Titled Douluo, and even Super Douluo. Its previous clan leader, the Clear Sky Douluo, was a Level 99 Peak Douluo..."

Tian Hao told Ah Yin about the Clear Sky Sect's circumstances without exaggeration, simply stating the facts.

Although the original work had never described the Clear Sky Sect's situation several decades earlier, according to the intelligence he had obtained from Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect had just experienced the era of Tang Chen. It was at the height of its glory.

One only had to think about how powerful the Tang Sect had been during Tang San's era. Tang Chen had also been practically invincible in that era. How could the Clear Sky Sect under his leadership possibly be weak?

The Clear Sky Sect at this time was truly the Number One Sect Under Heaven. If it had only one or two Titled Douluo, that would have been laughable.

In the original work, it had nine Titled Douluo even after lying dormant for twenty years, while the Tang Xiao brothers were both Super Douluo. How could it possibly be weaker now? It was even stronger. The current sect leader, Tang Zhen, was a Level 98 Super Douluo, and it was said that Tang Chen had personally helped him hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

With a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, reaching Level 98 was honestly not too difficult.

When Ah Yin heard the two ranks, Super Douluo and Peak Douluo, her Fair Hand clenched involuntarily. Her heart was deeply unsettled, and she even grew nervous.

Although she could conceal her Soul Beast aura, that was only enough to deal with ordinary Titled Douluo. But what if she encountered a Super Douluo, or even a Level 99 Peak Douluo?

Once she was exposed, she would not even have a chance to flee before such an existence.

"The Clear Sky Sect's disciples are as domineering as their Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. The current Haotian Twin Stars are even the best among them. People like that are not easy to get along with. If they truly changed their temperaments, they must have ulterior motives.

"I'm sure Sister Ah Yin can see the arrogance in those two brothers. It was obvious from their earlier exchange with me, and it is also related to their background.

"The Clear Sky Sect is a top-tier sect in the Soul Master World, equivalent to nobility. The education they received from childhood determined their personalities.

"I don't know why they considered Sister Ah Yin their sister, but I always feel that something is strange. It doesn't seem like the Clear Sky Sect's style. In any case, Sister Ah Yin, be careful in the future."

After offering a Kindly reminder, Tian Hao still felt that Shapeshifted Soul Beasts should not develop feelings for humans. Otherwise, they would inevitably end up facing the fate of Sacrifice.

"What could they possibly want from me? Besides, we became Sworn Brothers and Sisters."

Ah Yin Smiled, but her smile was somewhat stiff. She seemed to possess two things that all Soul Masters truly coveted.
