Incorrigible

After Ye Junqing and Tang Yunqing had chosen their respective Soul Rings, Ye Lei stored all the remaining Soul Rings on the ground in the System Space.

The room was clean in an instant. Watching Ye Lei's series of actions, Ye Junqing could not help baring his teeth. If he had not known about Soul Tool Storage Devices, he would have suspected that his son possessed a third Martial Soul.

Ye Lei: Dad, if you really think so, that wouldn't be wrong either. After all, I have the System...

System: So I'm just a tool, huh?

Ye Lei: Aren't you?

System: Speechless. I'm angry!

Life was not easy. The System sighed.

Back to reality.

Seeing his parents sit down on the floor, he hurriedly sat near them and sensed their physical condition, ready to use his Soul Power to help them suppress the Soul Rings' power if anything went wrong.

Ye Junqing and Tang Yunqing forcefully crushed the thousand-year Soul Rings they had selected.

The temperature in the room plummeted at once. Two purple Soul Rings floated beside Ye Junqing and Tang Yunqing respectively, while the phantoms of two Soul Beasts slowly appeared in the room.

Behind Ye Junqing appeared a leopard-type Soul Beast, its body patterned in silver and gray. After it appeared, snowflakes began drifting through the room despite it being mid-July.

Ye Junqing's Martial Soul, the Nine-Tailed Profound Ice Wolf, appeared before him. Its wolfish eyes glared fiercely at the Frost Snow Leopard behind Ye Junqing. The next second, wolf and leopard began tearing into each other, and sweat appeared on Ye Junqing's forehead.

Tang Yunqing beside him was not faring any better. Her Martial Soul, the Ice Thorn Sawfish, swam around her, while the Frost Wind Phantom Dragon hovered above her head with its wings spread. The dark-blue, winged quadrupedal Sub-Dragon Species stared at the enormous Ice Thorn Sawfish beside Tang Yunqing, its Dragon Claws slightly spread. Its gaze looked as though it wanted to swallow the Ice Thorn Sawfish whole.

Ye Lei swept his phoenix eyes over them and shook his head helplessly. One flew through the sky, while the other swam through the water. It seemed he had found trouble for his mother...

Rubbing his forehead, Ye Lei summoned the Blue Silver Emperor before him. Five black and one red Soul Rings appeared at his waist.

Ye Lei slowly spoke:

"Blue Silver Domain."

Blue light spread outward from Ye Lei, instantly enveloping Ye Junqing and Tang Yunji Xin.

Ye Lei raised his head and glared at the Frost Wind Phantom Dragon above Tang Yunxin's head. When the dragon phantom saw Ye Lei's blue pupils, it trembled and instantly recalled the scene of Ye Lei killing it: hovering above the street with its mouth open, it had not even had time to unleash its skill before Ye Lei pierced its body with a single spear...

The next second, the Frost Wind Phantom Dragon phantom instantly transformed into streams of dark-blue light and rapidly surged into Tang Yunxin's body. Seeing this, Ye Lei nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand, and sent a strand of Soul Power into Tang Yunxin's body before turning to look at Ye Junqing.

The Frost Snow Leopard, still locked in a savage struggle with the Nine-Tailed Profound Ice Wolf, was instantly suppressed until it could not move. The next second, the Nine-Tailed Profound Ice Wolf bit through its neck.

In an instant, the Frost Snow Leopard transformed into a beam of silver-gray light and entered Ye Junqing's body.

Likewise, Ye Lei raised his hand and sent a strand of Soul Power into Ye Junqing's body, using his own Soul Power to guide their absorption of the Soul Rings.

At the same time.

The sound of a police siren drew closer.

A police car drove into the residential complex, followed by a black military vehicle. A symbol was affixed to its body, bearing the prominent character "Chang"...

A pale purple Soul Ring appeared at the waists of both Ye Junqing and Tang Yunxin, gradually becoming more solid.

"Bang, bang, bang."

A series of knocks woke Ye Lei from his meditation.

"Who is it, in the middle of the night?"

As he spoke, Ye Lei rose and walked toward the door.

After opening it, Ye Lei saw the visitors clearly: five or six uniformed police officers, along with five people dressed in unfamiliar black clothing.

The leading officer showed his police identification and said:

"We received a report from a resident that blue-gold light flashed from your home twice. What were you doing at the time? Please cooperate with our investigation."

"My Martial Soul underwent its Second Awakening. What about it? If there's nothing else, don't disturb me. Goodbye."

After answering the officer's question, Ye Lei prepared to close the door.

"Wait. Please cooperate with our military investigation." One of the black-clothed people suddenly spoke to Ye Lei.

"The military? I haven't committed any crime, so why should I cooperate with you? I already said there's nothing wrong with my home. Please leave and stop disturbing our rest." Ye Lei's expression instantly turned cold.

The military? Hmph. Who knows what bad intentions you have this time? Only dogs would cooperate with you. Go somewhere else and stay there.

Ye Lei thought.

At that moment, the leader of the black-clothed people took out an investigation warrant and said to Ye Lei, "Please cooperate with our investigation. Otherwise, we will use force."

"What if I refuse?" Ye Lei raised an eyebrow.

"Brothers, take him away." The black-clothed leader also lost his patience. He gestured to his companions, who instantly understood and released their respective Martial Souls.

Looking at the leader, Ye Lei smiled inwardly.

Sixth Elder, Sixth Elder, you really are incorrigible.

The leader's Martial Soul was the Bloody Ghost Falcon...
