"Second Generation" Meng Yiran

"How about... I get you a tattoo? I think you quite like my little snake!"

"Stop!"

Lin Hai quickly spoke up, interrupting the little girl's strange thoughts, his tone tinged with helplessness:

"Yiran, let's forget about those tattooing and knife-throwing skills for now."

"If you insist on repaying this kindness, then change your clothes from now on."

He gently stroked Meng Yiran's curvaceous body and shook his head:

"The Fish Scale Armor you wore before, although... was very unique, didn't quite match your age and temperament; it was too old-fashioned."

Then, he lifted her calf, gently touching her delicate toes with his fingertips, and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Let's talk about these feet. They're so beautiful, but they're always covered in stockings. It's such a waste!"

What really frustrated Lin Hai was—

The owner of such a pair of perfect jade feet was not a chosen child, Divine Artifact showed no reaction.

The following afternoon, when Meng Yiran reappeared before Lin Hai, her appearance had been completely transformed.

She wore a simple gray tank top that accentuated her youthful curves.

She wore a pair of slightly loose beige shorts, revealing a pair of straight, long legs.

The most striking detail was the pair of black woven flip-flops worn on her fair feet, which revealed Meng Yiran's most beautiful side.

She even changed her hairstyle specifically for this outfit.

Her previously casually styled shoulder-length hair has been restyled, with a few strands of dyed color adding a touch of unruliness.

This outfit, which was a common summer staple in Lin Hai's previous life, unexpectedly created a wonderful chemical reaction on Meng Yiran, making it seem exceptionally suitable.

It perfectly highlights the wild, straightforward, and slightly rebellious girlishness she possesses.

"Very good!" Lin Hai looked at the beautiful and charming girl in front of him, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes, and sincerely praised her.

Seeing that Meng Yiran seemed a little uncomfortable, her hands unconsciously twisting together, looking shy, he encouraged her:

"It's simple, but it suits you perfectly and is very energetic!"

"Really... really?" Meng Yiran pouted, looking a little aggrieved.

"But before I left the house, my grandma gave me a good scolding! She said that my outfit was inappropriate and awful!"

Then she winked and smiled slyly:

"Later, I told her that you made me dress like that, and only then did she forgive me!"

Lin Hai chuckled upon hearing this, naturally taking her small hand and saying with a smile:

"Old people are more traditional in their thinking. They want their granddaughter to be completely covered up except for her face and hands. It's understandable."

"Don't worry about it, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are we going?" Meng Yiran asked curiously.

"I'll take you to find a suitable opponent to spar with," Lin Hai explained.

"This is a good opportunity to test your evolved new Martial Soul, ' Poison Dragon Thorn,' and see how effective it is in actual combat!"

"Really? That's wonderful!" Meng Yiran exclaimed excitedly, almost jumping for joy!

But then, as if remembering something, she shook Lin Hai's arm and asked in a slightly coquettish tone:

"Who's their opponent? Could it be Xiao Wu or Zhu Qing?"

"They're both so strong, I can't beat them. I'd just get beaten up if I went."

After her Martial Soul Evolution, she had been eager to try it out and longed for a real battle to unleash her power.

But she knew Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's strength. Fighting them wouldn't be a release of energy; it would be asking for a beating.

"Don't worry, it's not them." Lin Hai shook his head and laughed. "It's an opponent who's not much worse than you. I guarantee you'll have a good fight."

He was referring to Huo Wu, who had been inseparable from Xiao Wu ever since the recent competition ended.

To be honest, Lin Hai was quite speechless about Xiao Wu; her "secrecy" was just too good!

Huo Wu had been clinging to her for several days, yet she still hadn't grasped the true "shortcut" to improving her strength.

Left with no other choice, Lin Hai had to personally step in to help Huo Wu "see the light at the end of the tunnel".

Since his last emotional outburst that inadvertently revealed his presence, Lin Hai's sense of urgency has intensified.

Heaven knows how Asura will react after sensing his extreme killing intent.

If they're just sending out the Slaughter King to investigate, it's not so difficult to deal with.

He wasn't Tang Chen after all; he couldn't pull off that "Great Sumeru Hammer" technique. Lin Hai didn't take him seriously at all.

Even the Super Divine Artifact, the Asura Demon Sword, was merely a weapon in his hands.

But he had to consider the worst-case scenario: the Destruction God King might do nothing, and the Asura might disregard martial ethics and directly arrange for the gods to send down their avatars or even their true forms to the mortal realm.

With his current strength, he can protect himself without fear when facing a true god.

But his men are scattered, which makes it quite dangerous.

For safety reasons, we will have to temporarily place those around us in the Dantian Space to sleep.

As for the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Lin Hai doesn't plan to let it make a move anytime soon; saving its power to deal with the Primordial Force and 'turn the tables' is the proper course of action.

Fortunately, according to Old Bodhi Tree's perception, no powerful aura exceeding the limits of Soul Master has been detected so far.

Lin Hai and Meng Yiran walked side by side to the training area that the Shrek Seven Devils usually used.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Huo Wu as expected, Dugu Yan was also present.

As soon as they approached, they heard Huo Wu's voice, tinged with resentment and complaint. "Xiao Wu, your Teleportation Spirit Skill is too cheating! I can't catch you at all!"

"Hehehe~" Xiao Wu playfully stuck out her tongue, then flashed to the other side and laughed:

"Isn't your ' Repelling Fire Ring ' the same? I can only use the first three Soul Skill, and I can't do anything to you."

Huo Wu her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes dramatically. "But you have five Soul Skill!"

This topic made Xiao Wu a little embarrassed.

She genuinely wanted to be friends with Huo Wu.

However, Dean Flender and Teacher Erlong had already instructed them that the two divine skills, "Invincible Golden Body" and "Void," were key trump cards for depleting the opponent's Soul Power and dealing with killing moves, and should not be easily exposed.

Therefore, she held back from using those two Soul Skill during her battle with Huo Wu.

At that moment, Xiao Wu, feeling guilty, instinctively looked around and spotted Lin Hai and Meng Yiran walking hand in hand in the distance. She exclaimed in surprise, "Brother! You're here!"

Upon hearing this, the others in the room followed Xiao Wu's gaze and looked over, greeting her in various ways.

"Lin Hai!"

"Brother Hai!"

When their gazes fell upon Meng Yiran, whose appearance had drastically changed, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and several other boys couldn't help but reveal expressions of amazement and envy.

Meng Yiran looks so beautiful in this new outfit!

Brother Hai is never short of beautiful sights around him.

Lin Hai smiled and nodded to everyone, then turned his gaze to the mischievous Dugu Yan and asked with some surprise:

"Yanyan, why did you come here too?"
