"What?!"

"How could this be..."

"Big Brother, could what that human boy said be true?! But why would he know?!"

"Good heavens, was there really such a genius in this world—so young, yet knowing everything about the Douluo Continent?!"

The two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts stared at Song Ye with equal terror and panic.

At that moment, they no longer saw Song Ye as an ordinary human, but as a monster beyond even their understanding!

"Too terrifying..."

Hearing the Sky Azure Bull Python's words, Xiao Wu swallowed hard, utterly flustered.

"So it really existed!"

"Were Soul Beasts that survived the Hundred-Thousand-Year Heavenly Tribulation all hiding away?"

"Perhaps only Soul Beasts like us, who failed to survive the Hundred-Thousand-Year Heavenly Tribulation, remained outside. Those terrifying beings must have gathered beneath the Lake of Life."

"Does that mean the Lovesick Heartbreak Red you mentioned might also be real?"

Xiao Wu came to her senses and looked at Song Ye with immense excitement.

Song Ye rubbed his chin and gave a helpless bitter smile. "Of course it's real. If I lied to you, wouldn't I just die faster?"

"To save my life, why would I lie?"

"But I've given you the information. As for whether you can obtain it, that's beyond my ability..."

"Still, considering I helped you, you should let me go, right?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Xiao Wu coldly rebuked him. "You already know my secret. How could I possibly let you leave?"

"Unless you stay right under my watch!"

"What the hell, are you trying to play captivity PLAY?" Song Ye nearly broke defense.

I'm the unlucky one here. I ran into you people—how is that my fault?

"And you have to help me figure out how to obtain the Lovesick Heartbreak Red!" Xiao Wu continued.

"What, you're latching onto me now?" Song Ye truly wanted to grab Xiao Wu and slap her twice.

You little girl, now you're threatening me too.

Just wait. One day, I'll gain strength through sharp reviews and kill all of you for Soul Rings!

However, Song Ye still had to remain calm and think of a solution...

After pondering for a moment, he ultimately decided to agree. If he did not help her obtain the Immortal Herb, he likely would not be able to escape.

But before that, he needed to collect some interest.

"Fine, I can help you obtain the Immortal Herb."

"But first, you need to get me a Soul Ring. I'm exactly Level 20 right now, and I came here to acquire a Soul Ring and break through."

"Alright. Er Ming, go find him a Seven-Hundred-Year Soul Beast." Xiao Wu was prepared to give Song Ye some benefits so he would put in his full effort.

But the moment she spoke, Song Ye hurriedly stopped her.

"No!"

"Who said I wanted a seven-hundred-year one? I want a Soul Beast over two thousand years old!"

"And it has to be from the Life System!"

"Two thousand years? Stinky Boy, have you lost your mind?" Upon hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape immediately sensed something was wrong.

Though he had never been human, he had heard some of their rules. Only Soul Masters with Three Rings could absorb a Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Yet this kid actually...

But the next second, Song Ye immediately summoned his Martial Soul. In an instant, terrifying Life Force surged forth.

The Tree of Life grew from Song Ye's hand, making both the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape feel refreshed and at peace, as if this life energy were incomparably sacred.

Then, a Purple Soul Ring appeared around Song Ye.

He explained, "My First Soul Ring is already a Thousand Year Soul Ring. Do you expect me to lower my standards for the Second Soul Ring?"

"If you want me to help you obtain the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, bring me a Life System Soul Beast over two thousand years old!"

"What! This..."

"His First Soul Ring is a Thousand Year Soul Ring?!"

"That's impossible! How did you absorb it?" Xiao Wu was shocked once again.

She understood more than the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape did, so she naturally knew just how earth-shattering this was.

"Didn't Yu Xiaogang say the limit for the Second Soul Ring was just over seven hundred years? How could this be..." she muttered.

Song Ye sneered. "Yu Xiaogang is trash. You actually take his theories seriously?"

"Enough nonsense. Find me a Soul Beast."

"If you let me go, I can even teach you how to obtain a Thousand Year Soul Ring as your Second Soul Ring. How about it?"

"Hmph, no way!" Though Xiao Wu was shocked, she knew the Immortal Herb was the priority.

Thus, still in shock, she told Er Ming to find a Soul Beast.

Less than an hour later, they found one: a three-thousand-year Life Deer with exceptional vitality.

Song Ye absorbed it directly and succeeded smoothly. His Second Soul Ring reached three thousand years, and his own Life Force increased once again.

Xiao Wu could not help asking, "What is your Second Soul Skill?"

Song Ye smiled. "My Soul Skill is called Horn of Life. It creates a pair of small energy antlers that increase my Mental Power by 200% and my Life Force by 100%. At the same time, my Horn of Life can condense Life Force and inflict Life Burn upon enemies!"

"Furthermore, after activating Horn of Life, I can resist most negative effects such as poison and weakness. It excels in both offense and defense!"

"This... a Second Soul Ring can already be this outrageous..."

The more Xiao Wu heard, the more astonished she became. Song Ye had nearly scared her mad today.

One shocking revelation after another, along with such a terrifying Soul Skill—someone with even a little knowledge would be scared out of their wits.

Even the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, were equally horrified.

"A terrifying ability."

"The Life Deer itself possesses formidable vitality, but what Soul Skill one gains still depends on his talent and Martial Soul."

"Human boy, your Martial Soul must be a top-tier Martial Soul, right?"

Song Ye nodded without denying it.

After a long time, Xiao Wu finally recovered from her shock and became filled with curiosity toward Song Ye.

Of course, no matter what, the thing she always cared about was That Immortal Herb and how to return to the Human World.

Xiao Wu did not dare delay any longer and said, "Now that you have acquired your Soul Ring, can you tell me how to acquire the Immortal Herb?"

Song Ye rubbed his chin. He still had not escaped this.

He said helplessly, "There is a way. It's not even difficult."

"Aren't you close with Ning Rongrong?"

"I know a lot. I know that Ning Rongrong is the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master—a true princess."

"And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has two Titled Douluo."

"So, go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and ask Ning Rongrong for help. Have her bring the Titled Douluo to Sunset Forest. They can suppress Dugu Bo and take the Lovesick Heartbreak Red."

The method he proposed was already the best possible option under the current circumstances.

In truth, other methods—such as curing Dugu Bo's poison in exchange for the Immortal Herb, or having others lure Dugu Bo away to steal the Immortal Herb—were far too risky.

Only by truly gaining the protection of a Titled Douluo could they succeed with absolute certainty.

However, after hearing him out, Xiao Wu frowned deeply. She clearly did not approve, saying:

"I was worried about my safety, which is why I didn't go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Aren't you just pushing me into a fire pit?"

"You don't trust Ning Rongrong?" Song Ye asked.

Xiao Wu shook her head. "No, it's not that I don't trust Rongrong. I don't trust those two Titled Douluo!"

"Even if Rongrong is the sect's princess, how could she control two Titled Douluo and guarantee that they won't harm me?"

Song Ye was speechless after hearing that. What was there to worry about?

In the Original Work, Sword Bone Douluo would have willingly died for Ning Rongrong. Let alone listening to her and refraining from attacking a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Of course, Song Ye understood. Xiao Wu did not know the situation within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and lacked God's Perspective, so her concern was understandable.

He said casually, "Don't worry. I'm absolutely certain those two Titled Douluo will listen to Ning Rongrong!"

"This plan will succeed!"
