"Hiss..."
"So strong!"
"That's ridiculous!"
Everyone couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.
A card that could directly ignore the gap in strength and seal one of someone else's soul skills was far too terrifying.
Even Dugu Bo was dumbfounded. This card was actually this terrifying.
"Can you keep using this card indefinitely?"
"After using it once, I have to take it back and start over."
"That's not so bad, then."
Dugu Bo nodded. Though outrageous, it was not too excessive. At most, it could seal one soul skill.
For high-level soul masters, the effect was manageable.
At worst, it would seal the seventh, eighth, or ninth soul skill.
"Then wouldn't our Nine Heart Begonia martial soul be finished?"
Ye Liuli suddenly spoke up.
Everyone froze, then realized the issue and looked at Ye Lingling and Ye Liuli with pity.
No matter how many soul rings it had, Nine Heart Begonia possessed only one healing soul skill.
Once that was sealed, wouldn't they just be soul masters with Soul Power but no soul skills?
That would cripple them completely.
Even Xu Hanfeng fell silent. To be honest, he had not considered that just now.
"Aunt Ye, you don't need to worry. We're not enemies."
"That's true." Ye Liuli smiled gently.
"You brat, the more I look at your martial soul, the more heaven-defying it seems. Even cards like this Trap Card have appeared.
If even more heaven-defying cards show up in the future, I won't find it surprising."
Dugu Bo felt that building a good relationship with Xu Hanfeng was the most correct thing he had ever done.
Yan Yan had better judgment than he did.
"You brat, now that you've tested your new card, can we begin that thing you mentioned?"
Dugu Bo spoke, anticipation in his voice.
Everyone looked at Xu Hanfeng.
Only Ye Liuli and Ye Lingling had no idea what they were talking about.
"Xiao Feng, what is it?" Seeing even Dugu Bo so expectant, Ye Liuli became curious.
"Aunt Ye, it's about turning Sister Yan into a Character Card like Sister Xiao Tao and the others."
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuli and Ye Lingling were stunned.
"That's possible too?" the two asked in astonishment.
"Of course. But I think Sister Lingling should go first."
"Sister Yan is already level 33. We should wait until I become a Soul Elder, otherwise she'll turn into level 24 like me. Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Xu Hanfeng had considered this for a long time before making the decision.
He was already having trouble cultivating all his current characters, and he simply did not have enough Soul Bone Cards.
"Then you should've said so earlier. Wouldn't that have meant I didn't need to obtain a soul ring?"
Dugu Yan puffed out her cheeks, feeling a little indignant.
Even if she had come later, she had been more proactive than Lingling, hadn't she?
Xu Hanfeng knew this was indeed somewhat unfair, so he reached out and squeezed Dugu Yan's hand.
"Sister Yan, there's no helping it. This depends on our relationship. If our relationship hadn't reached that point, it would have been impossible."
Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed slightly.
That was a confession, wasn't it?
It had to be, right?
As expected, Xiao Feng and I have a very good relationship.
I'm definitely becoming this Character Card.
"Then I want to become your Character Card too."
"But it would be fine to do it later."
Xu Hanfeng did not understand why Dugu Yan was in such a hurry.
Even Dugu Bo found it strange. "Yan Yan, doing it later would be fine too. If you become a Character Card now, you'll only have the Soul Power of a Soul Grandmaster."
"It's fine. It's not like I fight anyway."
Dugu Yan put her hands on her hips.
Seeing this, the corners of Ye Lingling's lips lifted slightly. She had spent who knew how long with Dugu Yan, so how could she not know what she was thinking?
"Then let Yan Yan go first."
Dugu Yan brightened and hugged Ye Lingling's arm.
"Lingling, I love you to death."
Ye Lingling poked her cheek. Clearly, she was younger, yet she always felt like the older sister.
Though that was only in daily life.
Whenever they fought, Dugu Yan would always stand in front of Ye Lingling.
"Fine. Since you've thought it through."
Xu Hanfeng did not try to persuade her further.
In any case, he cultivated quickly. In a little over a year, he would probably reach Sister Yan's current level of Soul Power.
"Then let's begin."
The luxurious Douluo Compendium appeared in Xu Hanfeng's hand. He opened it and moved it with a thought.
A yellow light appeared above Dugu Yan's head.
Then, the light descended as though scanning her.
The scan soon ended.
The following information appeared on Xu Hanfeng's martial soul.
Character: Dugu Yan Martial Soul: Jade Python Soul Power: Level 33 Soul Skills: Jade Scale Red Poison, Jade Scale Blue Poison, Jade Scale Purple Poison Soul Bone: None ... Transform into a Character Card? Yes!
The instant Xu Hanfeng selected yes...
Deep within Dugu Yan's consciousness, a crisp, ethereal female voice, clear as silver bells, suddenly rang out without warning:
"Do you agree to become a Character Card?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Yan replied loudly in her heart, "I agree!"
Suddenly, a strange yellow glow spread across her body, slowly flowing over her skin.
Everyone silently watched the scene.
A quarter of an hour later, the light rapidly intensified, like golden flames ignited into a blazing inferno.
Within the light, Dugu Yan tightly shut her eyes. She could clearly feel a strange force pulling at her body and reshaping it.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Dugu Yan's body slowly lifted off the ground and floated lightly into the air.
Her figure gradually blurred within the light. Her limbs, torso, and entire body were broken apart and recombined, turning into streams of light that converged toward the center.
Everyone held their breath. This sight was far too frightening.
Dugu Bo nearly failed to hold himself back from rushing forward.
His granddaughter's body had actually been dismantled.
Yet he still restrained himself.
That was not only because he trusted Xu Hanfeng, but also because he had faith in his martial soul.
In just a few breaths, Dugu Yan completely transformed into a card.
The front of the card bore Dugu Yan's lifelike image. Her emerald eyes held a cold edge, and behind her was a Jade Python.
The next moment, the card traced an arc through the air and landed steadily in Xu Hanfeng's hand.
Xu Hanfeng examined the card. It was the same as Sister Xiao Tao's and the others' cards.
"Brat, how did it go?" Dugu Bo asked, swallowing nervously.
"Don't worry. It was a success."
As he spoke, Xu Hanfeng summoned Dugu Yan back out.
"Hah... I'm out!"
Dugu Yan greedily drew in fresh air.
"Yan Yan, are you all right?"
Dugu Bo asked.
"I'm fine, of course I'm fine. It's just that it was a little boring inside the card. There was only a very nice house."
Xu Hanfeng was somewhat surprised to hear that.
"There's even a house inside the cards? You have consciousness inside the cards too?"
"That's right."
Ma Xiaotao and the others nodded.
"How did I not know that?"
"You never asked."
The women answered in unison.
Xu Hanfeng was speechless.
"Hahaha~~"
Seeing Xu Hanfeng's frustrated expression, the women could not help laughing.
"Alright, Lingling is still waiting."
Using the same method, Xu Hanfeng turned Ye Lingling into a Character Card as well.
