"What's going on with Kainegis?"

Di Wan watched the red-haired strongman who had fainted and was being held back by You Chen's Soul Power, and silently sweated.

You Chen glanced at Di Wan and said calmly, "This guy is stubborn. He even said he wanted to arrest me. He's heard so many of my secrets. What do you suggest we do about it?"

Di Wan's sweat was getting heavier, and he chuckled somewhat sheepishly, "Um, You Chen, if I hadn't agreed earlier, would I have ended up like Kainegis?"

"What do you think?" You Chen smiled.

Di Wan wisely stopped asking questions.

"Alright. I have other things to attend to. Take my token to this inn in Heaven Dou City, and someone will meet you there."

You Chen spoke, he tossed out his Alliance Master Token.

Di Wan took the token, pursed his lips, and said, "You're really busy these days. You were so earnest and pleading just now, and now that we're in, you're just handing us over to someone else, right?"

You Chen's lips twitched. "Are you playing the role of a resentful woman in her boudoir? Alright, I'll find you guys for a drink once I'm done with what I'm doing."

As he spoke, You Chen suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "By the way, I can also find you an excellent sparring partner. Now, Kainegis is in your hands."

Fortunately, according to his prior investigation, these three were all solitary individuals in Spirit City, with at most a few close friends, but not the type to have families to support.

In other words, once the three of them are taken care of, there's no need to worry about their families being caught red-handed in the future.

"Hey. Wait a minute."

Di Wan hurriedly caught the unconscious Kainegis, saying in a panic, "What if this guy wakes up? Oerg and I together can barely beat him, but if he wants to run, we can't stop him!"

Oerg nodded in agreement. "It will be difficult, but I will do my best."

When Di Wan saw Oerg nod, he assumed that Olger was on his side. Upon hearing this, he became so angry that his face twisted in anger. "No, Oerg, what the hell is going on with you?"

You Chen interrupted their conversation, saying, "Kainegis won't wake up for at least a day or two. Once you arrive in Heaven Dou City, if he still wants to cause trouble, there will be Titled Douluo to suppress him. There's nothing to worry about."

Di Wan was sweating again. "No, You Chen, what exactly did you do to Kainegis? I thought you just knocked him out..."

You Chen said in an extremely calm and natural tone, "It's nothing, I just used a little bit of mystical magic. There won't be any aftereffects."

You Chen used a similar method on Kainegis to make Bo Saixi fall into a coma.

Kainegis's mental strength was only at the Spirit Abyss Realm. You Chen didn't need to weaken it beforehand. With a single Soul Shocking Tactic, Kainegis fell into a coma on the spot.

Having finished explaining, You Chen truly bid farewell to the three of them and returned directly to the place where he had initially landed.

He looked at the armless woman who stood there with a deathly pale face and smiled with satisfaction.

"Let's go, Xixi. I said I'd take you around the Douluo Continent more, and I can't go back on my word."

He embraced Bo Saixi and they soared high into the sky once more.

Bo Saixi watched the scenery rushing past in silence.

In the past, Bo Saixi might have misunderstood.

But now she knows for sure that You Chen didn't really bring her out to sightsee. Every time You Chen goes to a place, it's not just for casual strolling, but for a specific purpose.

Although You Chen would avoid Bo Saixi in some actions and conversations and never revealed his plans, over such a long time, as his bedmate, Bo Saixi realized that You Chen was definitely not someone who was content with mediocrity just by observing You Chen.

Bo Saixi was no stranger to Spirit City. When she was hesitant and conflicted before, she had also thought about You Chen's purpose in coming here.

But...

It doesn't matter anymore.

She was like a walking corpse, simply being carried by You Chen as they flew.

After an unknown amount of time, as the sun began to set and the orange-yellow light of dusk bathed the earth, Bo Saixi suddenly realized that they had arrived at an incredibly vast grassland.

To be precise, it is the grassland of Blue Silver Grass.

The boundless expanse of Blue Silver Grass was draped in a golden veil under the dim light. For the first time, Bo Saixi felt that this common, ordinary plant could give her such a beautiful and stunning feeling.

Do you like it?

You Chen noticed that Bo Saixi's face had regained its radiance and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"..."

The momentary shock on Bo Saixi's face returned to its deathly stillness.

Yes, what does it matter how beautiful the scenery is? As long as she's by You Chen's side, she's just a caged bird without freedom. Even the Blue Silver Grass rooted in the earth is freer than her.

The man embracing her body was nothing but a devil in human skin. She would no longer indulge in the temptations he offered; doing so would only lead to a more tragic outcome.

You Chen saw that Bo Saixi's mind had fallen silent again, but he did not feel frustrated or impatient.

Humans are amazing creatures.

As long as they can see real hope, they will not fall into absolute despair.

You Chen agrees with the saying that life will find its own way.

For Bo Saixi, who had no other choice and was even unable to commit suicide under You Chen's surveillance, the only option left was to be tamed.

During this process, You Chen doesn't need to do anything else; she will hypnotize herself and try to accept the outcome.

From the moment Bo Saixi gave up on escaping, You Chen's final act of enslaving Bo Saixi was complete.

The only difference is the subsequent routes.

You Chen then withdrew his gaze and headed straight for the core area of this Blue Silver Grass grassland.

At this moment, even without deliberately releasing her mental energy, Bo Saixi could clearly sense the powerful Soul Power fluctuations of the Soul Beast.

It was precisely You Chen's target on this journey— the Blue Silver King. In the original story, it was the Soul Beast that became Tang San's natal Soul Ring.

Sensing You Chen's unfamiliar aura, the Blue Silver King, with 85,000 years of cultivation, immediately manipulated countless Blue Silver vines to soar into the sky.

But such an attack couldn't even break You Chen's skin.

However, You Chen still managed to use the Stardust Power to envelop himself and Bo Saixi, forming a circular barrier. Countless Blue Silver vines automatically disintegrated upon touching this barrier.

Just as the Blue Silver King was about to continue its death throes, You Chen took out the Blue Silver Emperor from his Storage Soul Tool.

"Your Majesty! Why do you possess His Majesty's body!?"

I don't care about my own death, but if I harm the Blue Silver Emperor, I will be guilty of a thousand deaths!

Out of fear of harming the innocent, Blue Silver King immediately ceased all attacks and, without considering the possibility of mental backlash, proactively initiated a mental transmission to You Chen.

"Blue Silver King, you don't need to know why. I just need you and your people to offer sacrifices to the Blue Silver Emperor now. You know, only in this way can she be resurrected!"

You Chen made no attempt to conceal the purpose of his visit, demanding that the Blue Silver King sacrifice the life force of the Blue Silver Grass to the Blue Silver Emperor.

Plant-type Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast have a unique advantage over beast-type Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in terms of resurrection after sacrifice.

After being nurtured at the core of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Blue Silver Emperor has sprouted again from its original seed form. If it is combined with the life force of this Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver King, it will definitely be able to complete its revival!

"... Human, I don't trust you." The Blue Silver King gave the expected answer.

You Chen did not respond, but simply watched the Blue Silver King silently.

Then, just as You Chen had expected, the Blue Silver King continued, "But this is indeed the only way to revive the Emperor! Even if it's a trap, I choose to accept it! Emperor, accept the power of us, your people!"

In an instant, an incredibly powerful aura suddenly rose up, originating not only from the Blue Silver King before them but also from the entire forest.

A Youyou blue light quietly emerges from each Blue Silver Grass. The light from a single Blue Silver Grass may be just a tiny blue dot, but when the blue light from billions of Blue Silver Grass gathers together, it becomes a blue ocean.

Countless points of light converged and surged wildly into the Blue Silver Emperor.

Seeing this scene, You Chen remained calm, but Bo Saixi could not hide her shock.

She watched as the Blue Silver Emperor's aura rapidly surged, exclaiming inwardly, "This... this is simply a miracle of life!"

Then, something even more shocking happened to Bo Saixi.

The Blue Silver Emperor, which floated in mid-air during the sacrifice, gradually grew and eventually transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman with long blue hair.

A long, blue-gold gown covered her entire body, its luxurious and elegant aura highlighting her otherworldly beauty. Her deep blue eyes were flawless, like blue crystals. Golden ribbons curled around the hem of her dress, and a faint, delicate fragrance wafted through the air.

Both are predominantly blue, but if Bo Saixi is sacred and noble, seemingly approachable yet actually possessing a transcendent and dignified air that keeps people at a distance, then this woman, while equally elegant and graceful, has a tranquil and gentle temperament. Just looking at her gives one a sense of relaxation and ease, as if connected to nature.

You Chen showed no surprise or reaction to Ah Yin's appearance.

As long as the original Soul Beast Transformation can generally have a near-perfect appearance and body after transformation.

For example, Xiao Wu, whose original form was just a Soft Bone Rabbit, became an unparalleled beauty after growing up.

However, as the first female lead in the original work who was paired with the male protagonist, Xiao Wu is probably outstanding among all her clansmen, at least in appearance, she is better than her mother.

Not only is she stunningly beautiful and possesses an ethereal and otherworldly temperament, but her perfect body proportions also make her the most beautiful of the three Shrek members in the original work (in the original work, Xiao Wu is the tallest of the three beauties, standing at over 1.8 meters tall. She was an adorable little girl when she was young, and grew up to be a long-legged mature woman with super beautiful legs).

Soul Beast Transformation, its basic appearance is already established.

The Blue Silver Emperor is of noble blood, the strongest among his many kin, and the emperor who has gained absolute recognition.

After transforming, her appearance naturally couldn't be too bad.

Even compared to Bo Saixi, they can only be said to have their own merits, both belonging to the first tier of beauties who have transcended the ordinary category of beauties.

"Who I am?"

Supported by Soul Power, Ah Yin slowly descended from the sky, muttering to herself with a bewildered expression.

The withered Blue Silver Grass covering the ground made her feel a deep sense of closeness and pity, and she instinctively wanted to release her Blue Silver Domain to nourish the Blue Silver Grass whose life force was exhausted.

At this moment, You Chen suddenly appeared in Ah Yin's field of vision and wrapped his arms around Ah Yin's slender waist.

Surprisingly, Ah Yin felt a sense of helplessness as she looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her.

You Chen smiled slightly, leaned close to Ah Yin's ear, and said, "You are my slave."

"Slave?"

Ah Yin's expression trembled.

If he recovers normally, Ah Yin will naturally not forget his past memories.

But it's clear that You Chen wouldn't allow Ah Yin to be resurrected with her memories intact.

Brainwashing a normal Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is extremely difficult, but brainwashing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast whose soul is completely dormant is even easier than planting the seed of fear in Hu Liena.

When planting Ah Yin in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, You Chen showed no pity and directly wiped Ah Yin's memories clean, leaving her with nothing.

After awakening his Divine Sense and mastering hypnosis, he planted a mental restriction in Ah Yin's soul on the way here, preventing her from having any rebellious thoughts.

It is impossible for even a god to directly distort a person's thinking, but it is relatively easy to completely cleanse a person's thinking and then tint it with one's own colors.

If a normal person were subjected to such manipulation, their soul and mental instincts would resist, and even if they suffered a mental breakdown, they would probably not allow the perpetrator to succeed.

However, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast souls are completely dormant after sacrifice are an exception.

Everything went very smoothly.

Ah Yin lost her memory, but like many people with amnesia, she didn't lose her knowledge. After all, if some knowledge is lost, one's intelligence will basically regress to that of an infant.

This preservation of knowledge is naturally a self-protective function of organisms.

Ah Yin understands what slaves are, but she lacks a sensual understanding of it yet. However, she already instinctively resists the idea of becoming someone else's slave.

However, under You Chen's gaze, Ah Yin's restless heart inexplicably calmed down.

"As for your name..."

Recalling Ah Yin's ethereal, fairy-like aura when she was resurrected, You Chen smiled and said, "From now on, you will be called Ling Xian. Ling as in 'elf,' and Xian as in 'fairy.'"

"Yes, thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Master." Ah Yin... is now Ling Xian. She has accepted her status as a slave and smiled serenely at You Chen.

But that smile only sent a chill down Poseidon's Bo Saixi, who had witnessed the whole thing.

With the mental restrictions placed on her soul, and with You Chen himself hypnotizing her nearby, Ling Xian naturally wouldn't rebel.

Over time, once the blank paper has been painted with color, submission to the You Chen will become the very foundation of the existence of the Ling Xian. At that point, even breaking the mental restrictions and hypnosis will be useless.

"Owner."

Ling Xian suddenly hesitated, looking down at the Blue Silver Grass at her feet, and said, "Seeing how fragile these little grasses are, I feel very sad. I feel like I can do something..."

"No, Ling Xian, this is just your imagination."

You Chen smiled and said, "You don't need to pay attention to or care about anything other than me. These Blue Silver Grass are just some weeds."

With a gentle wave of his hand, You Chen unleashed a vast, ocean-like Stardust Power that instantly covered the entire Blue Silver Grass. With its domineering power, it purified and dissolved everything, leaving not even a single grass root behind.

The Blue Silver King, who had completed his sacrifice and was in a weakened state, was suppressed by You Chen's terrifying mental power from beginning to end, and was unable to send out a single message. He was also easily destroyed by You Chen.

At this point, the Blue Silver King and the Blue Silver Grass, which greatly changed Tang San's fate in the original work, completely disappeared.

There are countless Blue Silver Grass in the world, but on the Douluo Continent, there is no other place where Tang San could complete his bloodline awakening.

If Tang San still wants to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor, he can only go to the other side of the sea and seek opportunities on the Sun Moon Continent. However, the success rate is negligible.

Seeing the suddenly empty grassland, Ling Xian felt a strange pang in her heart, but looking at You Chen's smile, she finally nodded blankly. "I understand, Master."

Looking at the docile, lamb-like Ling Xian in front of him, You Chen's smile finally revealed a hint of sincerity.

He was indeed in a very good mood.

If we're talking about the key moments in Tang San's destiny, there are actually only a few, and awakening the Blue Silver Emperor is arguably no less important than obtaining the Sea God Trial.

It didn't significantly boost Tang San's strength like the Sea God Trial. Considering that Tang San rarely used the Blue Silver Emperor in combat later on, the claim that it improved his Martial Soul and potential should be discounted.

Its greatest help to Tang San that it resolved the hidden dangers within him!

The original novel explicitly states. "What Tang San didn't know was that of the two Martial Soul he possessed, the hammer was supposed to grant him Soul Power. However, due to the Blue Silver Grass, some negative mutations occurred between the two Martial Soul. Furthermore, the Mysterious Heaven Skill involved a fusion process with his own Martial Soul, so it seemed that no Soul Power appeared during the Martial Soul Awakening." [PS: From "Seventh Palm: Xiao Wu (Part Two)"]

This basically indicates that while Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is considered normal, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul does indeed have certain problems. This also foreshadows Tang San's later awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor.

With the help of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, this hidden danger was temporarily concealed, but it was not truly resolved.

Look at what kind of Soul Ring Tang San chose later.

Of the first four Soul Rings, three are related to poison.

It's likely that the original author himself realized that, based on the characteristics of the Blue Silver Domain, poison was definitely not a suitable attribute for Blue Silver Grass. So, when the Blue Silver Emperor awakened, he specifically mentioned that the life force of countless Blue Silver Grass was integrated into Tang San's first four Soul Rings.

The original text reads, "Tang San's four Soul Rings all emitted a blue-gold luster... (omitted)... It looks like these four Soul Rings are no different from before. But in reality, they are no longer the four Soul Rings of the Blue Silver Grass, but the four Soul Rings of the Blue Silver King."

In the later stages, Tang San's Martial Soul did not have any problems, which is hard to say whether it was because of the purification of his Martial Soul by the many Blue Silver Grass.

Without this incident, the already problematic Martial Soul, coupled with unsuitable Soul Ring and the burden of Twin Martial Souls on the Soul Master...

Even if his future is cut off, Tang San will at least not grow up as smoothly as in the original story.

Even in the later stages, the two Martial Soul might clash so violently that one of Martial Soul could explode.

After collecting the few Soul Bone dropped by the ten-thousand-year-old or higher Blue Silver Grass on the Blue Silver Grass, You Chen left the place with the two female slaves and then began to turn back, flying eastward towards Suotuo City.

"Um?"

In the shadows of a hill near the Shrek Academy in Suotuo City, Tang Hao suddenly looked up, a terrifying glint in his eyes, and his composed expression vanished.

'This aura... it's Ah Yin's Soul Bone! It's the person who stole Ah Yin's Soul Bone!'

He glanced in the direction of the academy, figuring that leaving in this short time wouldn't cause any problems, and immediately sped towards the aura that seemed to be slowly leaving Suotuo City.

That was a man's back view.

Tang Hao saw him walking out of the city, which suited his wishes perfectly, so he silently followed him.

After the man had walked several kilometers out of Suotuo City, the immense soul pressure showed no mercy or restraint and poured directly onto him.

Tang Hao emerged from the shadows, his tattered cloak billowing around him, and said in a hoarse, low voice, "Tell me, where did you get that right leg bone?"

Tang Hao naturally wanted to kill the other party on the spot to vent his anger, but compared to sparing the other party's life and venting his own rage, he was more concerned about how the other party obtained this Soul Bone.

If he wasn't mistaken, the man before him was definitely connected to the Spirit Hall! In Tang Hao's eyes, only those disgusting and despicable people would do such a thing!

"Hehehe."

Enveloped by Tang Hao's soul pressure, the man felt no discomfort whatsoever. Instead, he sneered, "Tang Hao, you don't think that just because you're Titled Douluo, you can be invincible, do you? You should know that a so-called Titled Douluo is merely qualified to stand on the table."

Tang Hao's expression turned serious, and he murmured, "So, you're also Titled Douluo?"

In the blink of an eye, Tang Hao had already grasped the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.

He carefully observed the man's face, only to notice something strange: the man's face seemed to be completely blended into the darkness because it was facing away from the light, making it impossible to see clearly.

This thwarted Tang Hao's plan to deduce the other party's identity and Martial Soul based on their appearance.

This man, whose face could not be clearly seen, was undoubtedly You Chen.

The reason he didn't act immediately was to trigger the mission, but currently, Tang Hao's emotions seem insufficient. You Chen guessed that perhaps he was in combat mode, forcibly suppressing his anger.

Ling Xian had just awakened, and to prevent any dramatic mishaps, You Chen didn't let her see Tang Hao. This time, luring Tang Hao out was purely by leaking the aura of his Soul Bone.

Otherwise, if I were to play the Netorare trick on Tang Hao, even if he has a strong fighting spirit, he would probably break through his defenses instantly.

However, You Chen knew Tang Hao very well and knew that it didn't take such a complicated process to anger him.

He simply smiled and said, "Titled Douluo? What a Titled Douluo. Tang Hao, weren't you curious about how I obtained this Soul Bone? Of course, you led me there yourself! As fellow Titled Douluo, aren't we Clear Sky Douluo far too lax? We didn't even notice we were being followed, and in the end, we couldn't even protect our wife's remains."

Tang Hao's eyes widened.

Tang Hao was tormented by guilt and regret for failing to protect his wife.

You Chen's words were like dancing on his wounds.

"I'm going to kill you!!! Martial Soul Avatar!!!"

Tang Hao instantly flew into a rage.
