Light Attraction

Lin Yi, who had abducted Beibei, ultimately did nothing excessive to him. He merely observed the legendary Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Besides that, he researched the Lightning Attribute. After all, barring any surprises, Lin Yi's Third Soul Ring would also be of the Lightning Attribute.

Inside the Library Pavilion, the finally released Beibei wore an ugly expression as he moved his somewhat numb limbs.

"Couldn't you just talk properly?"

Lin Yi wore an ingratiating smile as he stepped forward to massage Beibei's shoulders. "I was just excited to see something I'd only heard of. We're on the same side, so don't be so stingy."

Beibei swatted Lin Yi's hand away and snapped, "Get lost! Who's on the same side as you?"

Lin Yi did not get angry, merely maintaining his broad smile.

One did not strike a smiling face. No matter how angry Beibei was, he had no way to deal with Lin Yi acting like this and could only let it go.

Seeing that the matter had passed, Lin Yi became interested in Beibei's hidden Light Holy Dragon bloodline again.

"How was your Light Holy Dragon bloodline discovered? Your Martial Soul looks like a pure Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon no matter how I look at it."

Beibei really did not want to answer, but he was genuinely afraid of this utterly shameless Lin Yi and could only explain helplessly. "It was discovered during Martial Soul Awakening. Usually, the Light Holy Dragon bloodline remains hidden, but when I am stimulated or my emotions fluctuate intensely, it may reveal itself."

As Lin Yi listened, he found it strange. Born into a great clan, blessed with decent talent, with an absurdly powerful great-grandfather above him, and a powerful force hidden deep within his bloodline... didn't that sound like another Protagonist Template?

Could it be that Douluo Continent followed the path of Cultivating Gu? A group of geniuses slaughtering one another to determine the strongest among them?

After Beibei finished speaking, he realized that Lin Yi had suddenly fallen silent, seemingly lost in thought. Only those constantly darting eyes told him that Lin Yi was probably up to no good again.

Beibei suddenly slapped Lin Yi on the shoulder and shouted, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yi leaped into the air, and the Golden Tree appeared in reflex. Unease still lingered on his face.

Beibei was startled by Lin Yi's huge reaction as well. "What were you thinking about to get so absorbed?"

Then Beibei saw Lin Yi's Soul Ring configuration.

There it was—the signature expression of anyone witnessing Lin Yi's Soul Rings: dumbfounded disbelief.

"You... I... how did you... how is this possible..."

Looking at the stunned, incoherent Beibei, Lin Yi felt helpless. Were his Soul Rings really that conspicuous?

A thought stirred in his mind. He needed to find a way to hide them.

Otherworld Memories came online again. Hide them... or rather, change their colors. Got it!

Thank goodness for the all-purpose Otherworld Memories.

With a slight movement of Lin Yi's Spiritual Power, Light Elements seemed to gather and adhere to his Soul Rings.

After some adjustments, Beibei watched in shock as Lin Yi's original two black Soul Rings actually turned yellow.

But it was not over. As Lin Yi continued experimenting, yellow, white, black, and even red all appeared.

Beibei's mouth hung open in shock.

Yet it still was not over. Under Lin Yi's manipulation, the Soul Rings even turned gold.

"God-Tier Soul Rings?!"

Beibei felt as though his understanding of the world had been dealt a severe blow.

When Lin Yi's Soul Rings even turned seven-colored, Beibei was completely broken.

His eyes were vacant and dull.

Seeing Beibei like this, Lin Yi felt a little worried. After all, he was his master's biological great-grandson. He could not mess him up too badly.

His eyes spun once, twice, three times, and Lin Yi came up with an idea.

"Can you still talk?"

"Huh?"

Seeing Beibei's unconscious response, Lin Yi thought, Perfect.

"Call me great-grandfather."

"Great... why should I?!"

Seeing Beibei regain his senses at the last moment, Lin Yi was somewhat disappointed.

"Lin Yi, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

"Changing Soul Ring colors? It's very simple. It's just a small application of Light Elements."

"What technique? That isn't what I'm asking!"

"Then what are you asking?"

Seeing Lin Yi play dumb, Beibei's handsome little face turned red with anger. "I'm asking why you tricked me into calling you great-grandfather!"

"What did you call me?" A mischievous, expectant gleam flashed through Lin Yi's eyes.

"Great-grandfather!"

"Good boy."

"You!"

Seeing Lin Yi still taking advantage of him, Beibei finally exploded.

"Martial Soul, possess!"

As the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon possessed him, fine arcs of electricity gradually covered Beibei's small body. Faint blue scales surfaced over his skin, while the most noticeable feature was the lightning pattern on his forehead.

But as he looked at Beibei, a hint of disappointment showed in Lin Yi's eyes. "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon really only begins to display its power after reaching the three-ring Soul Elder level."

Looking at the yellow Soul Ring appearing beneath Beibei, Lin Yi curled his lips. "A one-ring Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon without even a single Dragonization position..."

Seeing Beibei about to attack, Lin Yi did not dare delay. This was the Library Pavilion, filled with Shrek's accumulated knowledge from ten thousand years. Many were already unique copies. If Beibei accidentally damaged any of them, Lin Yi would definitely be heartbroken. After all, knowledge was innocent.

Fortunately, Beibei was angry but had not lost his reason. He did not use his Soul Ring, merely kept his Martial Soul active, electricity crackling around him as he charged at Lin Yi.

The Second Soul Ring lit up. Golden Protection, transform—Golden Imprisonment, activate.

Almost instantly, Beibei was completely bound and imprisoned by Light Power, becoming a little golden figure glowing from head to toe.

"You two, take your nonsense outside. Out of consideration for Mu En, I'll let it go this time. If there is a next time, both of you will be punished."

An aged voice suddenly came from all directions, though its source was impossible to locate.

Lin Yi's expression did not change. The Library Pavilion had someone guarding it—wasn't that only natural?

"My apologies, senior. This junior will take him outside immediately."

Lin Yi once again activated the Blue Silver External Soul Bone. Blade-like grass leaves stretched out like vines, wrapping Beibei layer upon layer, like a discreet package from another world.

Lifting Beibei up, Lin Yi immediately left the Library Pavilion.

After walking quite some distance and finding an open area, Lin Yi finally released Beibei and removed the restraint of his Soul Skill.

Perhaps knowing that he was no match for Lin Yi, Beibei withdrew his Martial Soul.

Yet his eyes remained fixed on Lin Yi. "Why did you trick me into calling you great-grandfather?!"

Radiance told Lin Yi that Beibei was truly angry from the bottom of his heart. Lin Yi did not understand. Wasn't this a common way for friends in the Otherworld to express friendliness?

"You seem... really angry. Did I offend you?"

"My parents died early. Great-grandfather is my only family." Beibei's voice was calm.

Lin Yi understood Beibei's attachment to family. No wonder he had reacted so strongly.

"I'm sorry. I did not mean to offend you." Lin Yi apologized sincerely.

Beibei's expression improved slightly.

"But I really am of your great-grandfather's generation."

Beibei's face turned completely black.

Fine arcs of electricity appeared once more. Without the slightest hesitation, Beibei acted entirely on instinct.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, possess! The First Soul Ring lit up. First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw—activate!

Blue-violet lightning condensed before Beibei, gathering into a Dragon Claw roughly one foot in diameter that shot forward and struck at Lin Yi.

Second Soul Skill, Golden Protection!

Second Soul Skill, Golden Protection, transform—Golden Imprisonment!

Using his Second Soul Skill twice in succession nearly drained Lin Yi's Soul Power, but subduing Beibei was not difficult.

Beibei, once again transformed into a little golden figure, looked as though fire might burst from his eyes as he glared at Lin Yi.

Dispelling Golden Protection, Lin Yi walked over to Beibei and said helplessly, "Did you forget that your great-grandfather is my master? Do the math yourself. Am I not of your great-grandfather's generation?"

The fury in Beibei's eyes froze. He silently considered it, and then his expression became incomparably complicated...

Seeing that Beibei had figured it out, Lin Yi released the restraint and was about to step forward to help him up.

But the blue-violet arcs around Beibei suddenly changed color. A dazzling golden radiance gathered above Beibei's head, and the electric arcs across his entire body turned golden along with it.

Even his aura changed. His former gentleness and refinement vanished, replaced by lofty pride and dominance, filled with an indescribable forcefulness and kingly aura.

Golden Perception told Lin Yi that the Radiance aura around Beibei was several times stronger than before.

Though he had never seen it before, how could Lin Yi fail to recognize that Beibei's Light Holy Dragon bloodline had been stimulated?

But what was he supposed to do in this situation? He had never read about it in any book!

In his urgency, Lin Yi displayed extraordinary calmness.

Though his Soul Power was nearly exhausted, Lin Yi gathered his final reserves and activated his First Soul Skill, Golden Growth.

The Golden Tree rooted itself in the ground. As his Soul Power rapidly recovered, Lin Yi did not remain idle.

The Golden Tree's innate domain, Golden Domain—expand!

Within the Spiritual Space, the Sea of Consciousness churned violently as Spiritual Power poured out, driving the Golden Domain to contract to the limit Lin Yi could currently control: five meters.

The five-meter domain completely enveloped Lin Yi and Beibei.

Golden Growth combined with the Golden Domain rapidly restored Lin Yi's condition.

At the same time, Lin Yi drew the immense amount of Light Elements gathered by the domain toward Beibei, providing nourishment for Beibei's unexpectedly awakened Light Holy Dragon bloodline.

Lin Yi's Radiance was already an Extreme Attribute. In terms of the purity of light alone, it even surpassed the Light Holy Dragon. Drawn by Extreme Light, the power of Radiance within Beibei's body continued to grow.

But seeing Beibei rapidly shriveling, Lin Yi began to panic.

Did awakening this bloodline consume so much? Lin Yi felt that Beibei was about to turn into a dried corpse.

He did not dare hesitate. Life aura gathered and was drawn toward Beibei as well, but the speed at which Beibei automatically absorbed it was clearly slower than the rate of consumption.

Although Beibei's shriveling slowed, he was still heading toward becoming a dried corpse.

Imagining himself returning dried-corpse Beibei to his master and telling him that this was his only blood descendant, Lin Yi felt that the old man might very well turn into an Evil Soul Master on the spot.

As though he had witnessed that horrifying scene, Lin Yi shuddered. He absolutely could not let things turn out that way.

Seeing that Beibei had already fainted, Lin Yi did not dare hesitate any longer. He directly forced the gathered life force into Beibei's body. At the same time, Soul Power gathered in his hand, and pure Light Elements condensed into a sphere of light.

Lin Yi threw the sphere into the sky with all his strength. As it rose to its highest point, it exploded with a bang.

The scattered Light Elements formed the two enormous characters, "SAVE" and "LIFE," above Sea God Island, while the aura of Extreme Light spread outward and descended.

Even at such a critical moment, Lin Yi could not help feeling proud of the powerful control he had displayed beyond his usual limits. It sounded simple enough when described, but only when doing it did one understand what terrifying control was required to achieve such a result.

Now, Lin Yi could only hope that Mu En would see the distress signal he had sent and quickly bring Spirit Gold to preserve Beibei's life.

Otherwise, Mu En's only biological great-grandson really would become a dried corpse...
