After spending some time cultivating, Ye Han and the others finally reached level 40, completely unaware that while they had been gone, their secrets were practically about to be dug out!
The Star Dou Great Forest had also returned to order. Now, the entire Star Dou Great Forest looked as though nothing had happened.
However, Ye Han was currently troubled. Soul Beasts that were over ten thousand years old had generally developed intelligence. Though they could not speak, they could communicate, so Bi Ji volunteered to serve as everyone's translator.
Although Di Tian had given the order, Ye Han and the others still upheld humanitarian principles and asked them one by one. After all, sacrifice was a major matter. Mutual willingness was naturally best!
Yet everyone else quickly found Soul Beasts willing to sacrifice themselves, and their reasons were absurd.
Honjou Kaede truly lived up to being Feng Aotian. Before she had even said a word, one Soul Beast voluntarily offered itself up. Without saying anything, it directly began the sacrifice, as if it were afraid Honjou Kaede would refuse!
Perhaps because it was a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, the Fourth Soul Skill was simple and brutal: for one hour, her defense doubled from its current level!
When Ye Han saw this skill, he could only exclaim in disbelief. He had no choice but to be impressed! Honjou Kaede was already impossible to damage; doubling that again was simply outrageous.
Because it had been a sacrifice, she had also obtained a Soul Bone—the Right Leg Bone. Due to the Soul Bone Release Device, its derived skill became an attachment to her Third Soul Skill: Covering Movement.
The effect was simple. She could rapidly move to a teammate's side and block one instance of damage for them, solving Honjou Kaede's movement-speed problem
