The Soul Ring's Color Changed?!

After Yu Yuanzhen's vast soul power poured into his body, Yu Tianlin immediately felt much better, and the convulsions wracking him stopped as well.

Yu Tianlin opened his mouth, exhaled a puff of white air, and said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. You can stop."

Although that bolt of lightning had looked terrifying, for some reason, it had not actually harmed Yu Tianlin at all. It had only numbed his whole body and made his muscles spasm.

Seeing that Yu Tianlin truly had not suffered any real injury, Yu Yuanzhen stopped what he was doing, helped Yu Tianlin up, and asked, "Tianlin, what happened just now?"

Yu Tianlin said with a somewhat odd expression, "When I sent soul power into that strand of hair on top of my head, I suddenly felt the hair stand up, as if it were attracting something."

"In other words, that bolt of lightning just now was drawn over by this strand of my hair."

Hearing Yu Tianlin say this, Yu Yuanzhen frowned. "Its ability is to attract lightning? Tianlin, try again and see if you can control the lightning you attract to attack someone else. Don't be afraid. If the lightning attacks you again this time, I'll block it for you."

"All right."

Although Yu Tianlin felt that probably would not work, since his grandfather had asked him to do it, he might as well try again.

Yu Tianlin sat cross-legged and sent soul power into that strand of Antenna Hair on top of his head.

However, the result was the same as before. Another bolt of lightning came crashing down, punched another hole through the dome of the Council Hall, and struck straight at Yu Tianlin.

This time, though, Yu Yuanzhen had been prepared, and on top of that, he was standing right beside Yu Tianlin, so he directly blocked that bolt of lightning.

Yu Yuanzhen frowned and said, "Tianlin, you can't control this lightning to attack someone else?"

"Uh, it seems that way." Sensing that the lightning had been blocked by Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianlin opened his eyes, nodded a little awkwardly, and said, "After I send soul power into this strand of hair, I can feel a sensation of hooking onto lightning. Then I tried hard to control it, but found it had no effect at all. The lightning it draws can only strike this raised strand of hair of mine..."

For a moment, Yu Yuanzhen had no idea what was going on. He muttered to himself, "What kind of bizarre ability is this? It can only draw lightning to strike yourself? Self-harm?"

Yu Tianlin also felt utterly speechless. In his previous life, he did not think he had ever sworn any vicious oaths, so why had he gained such a screwed-up ability after transmigrating...

Just then, an aged voice sounded from outside the hall. "Big Brother, what is going on here?"

Yu Tianlin looked back and saw Yu Luomian walk in.

Yu Luomian glanced at Yu Tianlin, then said to Yu Yuanzhen, "Big Brother, why was the Council Hall suddenly struck by lightning twice? Has an enemy invaded?"

"Ahem, it's nothing." Yu Yuanzhen gave a dry cough and covered for it. "I suddenly gained some insight just now and used the Power of Thunder for a moment. I didn't expect to coincidentally draw down lightning from the sky."

No matter what ability that strand of Yu Tianlin's hair had, since it had already been judged to be an External Soul Bone, it was naturally better to keep it secret and not let too many people know.

Yu Luomian did not keep pressing the matter. He said to Yu Tianlin, "Tianlin, you head back first. I have something to discuss with your grandfather."

Yu Yuanzhen also nodded at Yu Tianlin, signaling that he could go back.

Yu Tianlin opened his mouth, wanting to ask Yu Yuanzhen when he would give him the Dragon Source Fruit, but seeing that Yu Luomian was also present, he thought for a moment, said nothing, and turned to leave the Council Hall.

After leaving the Council Hall, Yu Tianlin had nowhere else to go, so he went straight home.

His father, Yu Mingfeng, was in secluded cultivation at his exclusive cultivation spot. Only his mother, Yu Rou, was at home.

Seeing Yu Tianlin return, Yu Rou showed a surprised expression and asked, "Eh, Xiao Lin, you're back so soon? How is it? Is your First Soul Ring all right?"

Yu Tianlin gave a bitter smile and directly activated his soul power. After lightning-shaped patterns condensed between his brows, a soul ring slowly rose.

"This is my First Soul Ring. It came from the Thunderous Hell Vine, and its age is nine... Huh?"

Just as Yu Tianlin was introducing it to his mother, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of the soul ring on his body. He discovered that this soul ring of his was actually yellow. Although the color was very faint, it was definitely yellow!

What was going on? My soul ring is yellow? At the hundred-year level?

Yu Tianlin was a little dumbfounded, but he quickly reacted.

He remembered that in the original work, Tang San had simultaneously absorbed three Fifteen Ton Ant Emperor soul rings whose cultivation had reached the Ninety Thousand Year level. After he finished absorbing them, all three soul rings mutated and became Hundred Thousand Year soul rings.

The Thunderous Hell Vine he had killed had cultivation extremely close to the hundred-year level. It was possible that, like Tang San, a mutation had occurred while he absorbed this soul ring, raising the soul ring's age to the hundred-year level.

But that was not right. When he had shown his soul ring to his grandfather Yu Yuanzhen in the sect's Council Hall just now, it had clearly still been at the ten-year level. Even if a faint yellow glow showed through the white of the soul ring, that only represented it being close to the hundred-year level. It was completely different from the pale yellow it was now from top to bottom.

What exactly was going on? For the moment, Yu Tianlin could not figure it out either.

At this time, in the sect hall, Yu Luomian looked at Yu Yuanzhen and said, "Big Brother, were you preparing to give Tianlin a Dragon Source Fruit just now?"

Hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Yuanzhen's hands, clasped behind his back, stiffened. His expression, however, did not change as he said, "What do you mean by that?"

Yu Luomian sneered. "Big Brother, stop pretending. Tianlin has Innate Full Soul Power, so his matter can be considered a major one. That's why we've been paying attention all along. After Yu Jian brought Tianlin back today, we called Yu Jian over and asked him about it. Now, as for Tianlin's soul ring problem, we old fellows all know."

Since the elders already knew, continuing to hide it was meaningless. Yu Yuanzhen fell silent for a while, then said, "Since you know there is a problem with Tianlin's soul ring, then you should also know that the only way to remedy it is with the Dragon Source Fruit, so I..."

"Big Brother!" Yu Luomian directly cut Yu Yuanzhen off and said, "We also feel very regretful about Tianlin's matter, but do you not know how important that Dragon Source Fruit is?"

"Originally, according to the sect's rules, of the Dragon Source Fruit's share, the sect master takes fifty percent, and the remaining fifty percent is divided among us elders. Strictly speaking, you can indeed dispose of the Dragon Source Fruit that belongs to you as you please, but these are special times!"
