Ling Yuan's Resentment
At that moment.
Lin Hanye slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping toward the direction Ling Yuan had left. Doubt stirred in his heart. Had Bibi Dong already given her the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower? From the look of things, there was nothing to worry about.
Bibi Dong was currently immersed in the ocean of love, and her guard had dropped considerably, so she did not notice anything.
She leaned in Lin Hanye's arms, her beautiful eyes as tender as water.
The night passed without incident!
Early the next morning, Lin Hanye returned to the inn where they were staying and fooled Liu Erlong and Shao Xin, saying that he had gone out at the crack of dawn to look for Whale Rubber, but had failed to buy any.
Liu Erlong offered him some comfort over this.
Shao Xin, meanwhile, was moved to tears.
After making some preparations, the three left Gengxin City and headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Not long after they left, a graceful red figure followed after them.
On the road, Liu Erlong asked, "Hanye, what do you think I should choose for my Third Soul Ring?"
"Old Lin, help me think about my Third Soul Ring too!"
Shao Xin also leaned in. Last night, Lin Hanye had already told him his real name.
Lin Hanye glanced sideways at the clouds in the sky and deliberately said loudly, "Erlong, with your physique, absorbing a four- to five-thousand-year Fire Attribute soul ring as your Third Soul Ring won't be a problem at all. But it would be best if it came from a Sub-Dragon Species that also has a strength attribute. A Horned Fire Python would be quite suitable."
"As for Shao Xin, although your physique can't compare to Erlong's, absorbing a soul ring of around three thousand years as your Third Soul Ring won't be a problem. Your First Soul Skill restores stamina, Soul Power, and injuries, while your Second Soul Skill detoxifies and removes abnormal statuses. For your Third Soul Ring, I suggest you start with boosting strength, speed, Soul Power, Attack Power, and other attributes."
"As for me, although with my physique, enduring the energy of a ten-thousand-year soul ring would be more than enough, Soul Shock is still a problem in the end. I'll just casually choose an Ice Attribute Soul Beast a little over Nine Thousand Year old. As it happens, I Know that in a damp, dark swamp in the western part of the Star Dou Great Forest, there lives an Ice Spider."
Lin Hanye said these words for Ling Yuan to hear. When he parted with Bibi Dong, she had said she would have Ling Yuan secretly help them Hunt for Soul Rings.
Although Lin Hanye believed he could handle Soul Beasts under ten thousand years old, since a ready-made fighter had delivered herself to his door, there was no reason not to use her.
"This guy really pisses me off."
Sure enough, Ling Yuan, hidden among the clouds in the sky, immediately reacted. She was so angry her teeth itched, and she secretly clenched her fists. She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone this shameless.
In front of Your Highness, the Saintess, he put on the image of a Righteous and Awe-Inspiring, flawless lover.
But once it came to her, he directly became a kept man, without the slightest sense of being an outsider.
If she had to describe him in one phrase right now, "utterly shameless" would fit him perfectly.
Unfortunately, she could not disobey Bibi Dong's orders.
She could only let this guy take a mile after being given an inch.
"He actually dares to Absorb Soul Rings Beyond Limit. Does he really think everyone is like Your Highness, the Saintess? Let's see how you all die in a while."
At this time, Ling Yuan still did not know the true effect of Whale Rubber, and had not connected Bibi Dong's Ten Thousand Year Fourth Ring with Whale Rubber. According To Your Highness, the Saintess's orders, whatever age of Soul Beast Lin Hanye and the other two needed, she was to hunt one of that age for them.
In short, she was to obey Lin Hanye in everything.
She was not to concern herself with anything else.
She wanted to see whether these guys truly dared to Absorb Soul Rings Beyond Limit.
But the scene of the three absorbing their soul rings next left Ling Yuan completely dumbfounded.
"Hanye, Hanye, look! There's a python with a horn on its head charging toward us. Huh, it seems to be injured. Hanye, you're so smart. After absorbing this four-thousand-plus-year Horned Fire Python, not only did my Soul Power rise to Level 34, I also obtained an extremely powerful medium- to long-range group attack soul skill, Bursting Fire Dragon Bomb. If it were those bastards from the Clear Sky Sect from before, I feel like I could take them all down by myself."
"Old Lin, Old Lin, it's a Mighty Ape, and it's even Reached the three-thousand-year level, haha! I've finally broken through to Soul Elder too. My Soul Power is now Level 38. The soul skill's effect is a strength boost. It can increase strength by thirty percent for five minutes, and with each additional soul ring, it increases by an extra Ten Percent. It can be stacked with any other Support Skill, with no Side Effect."
More than half a month passed in succession. With Ling Yuan's secret help, Liu Erlong and Shao Xin both obtained the soul rings they wanted.
Finally, they arrived at the swamp where Lin Hanye had hunted the Ice Spider during the Second Simulation.
There were no surprises. After Lin Hanye absorbed the Nine Thousand Year soul ring, his Soul Power Reached Level 39.
He was only one level away from being Promoted to Soul Ancestor.
Now, even if Ling Yuan were any more foolish, she would know that things were not as simple as she had imagined.
This brat—just how exactly did you do it?
If Lin Hanye alone had Absorbed Soul Rings Beyond Limit, Ling Yuan might have thought he was like the Saintess, someone with Extraordinary Talent, a genius.
But for three people to appear at once, that explained a great deal.
Thinking of this, Ling Yuan, who had originally intended to go back and report to Bibi Dong, abandoned the idea of returning and decided to meet this kept man who had captured the Saintess's heart.
On the other side, Liu Erlong and Shao Xin did not know that their soul rings had only been obtained so smoothly because someone had helped them in secret.
They only thought the three of them were lucky.
Seeing Lin Hanye finish absorbing his soul ring, they Let Out a Sigh of Relief in their hearts and gathered around him. Liu Erlong asked, "Hanye, what soul skill did you obtain? A Third Ring of over nine thousand years—this is simply unheard of."
