"Are you crazy?" Xue Ying could not help saying. "Is inheriting one God Position from a God not enough for you? You want two?"
Yue Guang's face was filled with shock and disbelief. "Exactly! You're trying to defy the heavens!"
The moment he finished speaking, two lights suddenly lit up on Lin Fan's forehead—half of a Judgment Scale appeared on the left, while half of an Asura Sacred Sword appeared on the right.
The two emanated completely different auras, yet somehow coexisted in an eerie harmony.
With a thought from Lin Fan, the marks on his forehead instantly vanished.
"I have a question... Since you two stepped in just now, does that mean my trial failed?"
"It does not count as a failure." Snow Cherry Douluo's expression was complicated as she slowly spoke. "But you must return to Spirit Hall with us now and report this matter to Your Eminence the Pope and the Grand Priest."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Fan directly refused. "No. I finally got the chance to come out and rela—do a mission. How can I give up halfway?"
Go back?
What a joke! He had finally found an opportunity to sneak out for a vacation. Was he supposed to go back early and continue enduring that hellish training?
Yue Guan and Xue Ying exchanged glances, their eyes full of helplessness.
This kid was stubborn as a mule, yet they could not force him—after all, he was now someone watched over by two God Kings. If anything happened to him, the Pope would probably skin them alive!
"Fine, but you must promise that you'll follow orders in everything from now on!" Yue Guang rubbed his temples and compromised.
Lin Fan grinned. "Don't worry. I promise I won't cause trouble!"
Xue Ying rolled her eyes—I'd believe that when pigs fly!
"Let me tell you something." Lin Fan deliberately lowered his voice in a mysterious manner. "The Asura God just told me that there's an enormous opportunity deep within Sunset Forest!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Lingyuan Douluo exchanged glances, both looking helpless. Yue Guan said, "Fine. If there's such a great opportunity, then hurry up."
Without another word, Lin Fan directly summoned his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and sped toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Along the way, they encountered Dugu Bo's poison formation. Lin Fan immediately spread his Six-winged Angel Domain, and the poisonous mist within the domain was instantly purified.
Before long, they arrived at a mist-shrouded basin. Before them lay a strange hot spring where blue and red intertwined, shaped like a Bagua. Frosty air and scorching waves surged in alternation, as though this were the place where heaven and earth had first come into being.
Looking at the Immortal Herbs and precious medicinal plants densely covering the area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Chrysanthemum Douluo said in shock, "It's actually the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! So many Immortal Herbs and Rare Treasures—this is practically a paradise that Soul Masters dream of!"
"It truly is an enormous opportunity..." Lingyuan Douluo could not help swallowing, her eyes filled with greed and excitement. "If I could consume even one, I could definitely break through to Rank 96 and become a Super Douluo!"
The corners of Lin Fan's lips rose slightly as his gaze swept across the Immortal Herbs. He had already chosen his target.
Lin Fan flew directly toward the top-grade poisonous immortal herb of fire and poison—the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
The Angel Domain suppressed the flames radiating from the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
As he drew near and looked at the entirely crimson immortal herb, burning like living fire, excitement flashed through Lin Fan's eyes.
However, when he stared at its flower stamen, he hesitated, suddenly unsure how to proceed.
He turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and asked, "Senior Chrysanthemum, is there any way to extract the Fiery Gel from the Infernal Delicate Apricot?"
Yue Guan was holding the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum so dearly that he could not bear to put it down. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "There are two methods. The first is to throw it directly into a pill furnace and have Xue Ying refine it with fire, but the immortal herb will be destroyed as well."
"As for the second..." He paused, his eyes full of pride. "You extract it directly."
"Then we'll use the second method!"
With that, Yue Guan stepped forward, formed hand seals with both hands, and circulated his Soul Power. The Soul Power in his palms wound around the flower stamen like threads.
With a gentle pull, drops of fiery red transparent gel slowly seeped out from the center of the flower.
In the end, they condensed into a fiery red, transparent mass about half the size of a fist.
In an instant, terrifying heat waves swept through the surroundings, scorching the ground black and cracking it open. Sweat seeped from Yue Guan's forehead as he frantically used Soul Power to suppress it, barely managing to keep the Fiery Gel from dispersing.
He quickly tossed it to Lin Fan. "Catch it! Be careful it doesn't burn through your hand!"
Lin Fan flapped his six wings, wrapping his palm in Angel Holy Light as he caught it steadily.
Fiery Gel was a top-grade immortal substance. The Infernal Delicate Apricot needed ten thousand years of growth to produce even the slightest bit of it.
A half-fist-sized portion of Fiery Gel was already enough to refine a fire-attributed Soul Master's cultivation to the level of Ultimate Fire!
Once the leaves of Mysterious Ice Grass grew to a certain extent, they would branch out, while the leaves themselves would develop angular ridges. Every additional ridge meant that its lifespan had increased by at least fifteen thousand years.
(This setting came from Soul Land 3, as Wu Changkong said.)
The Mysterious Ice Grass here had eight ridges. Eight ridges represented one hundred and twenty thousand years, which meant that the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well all possessed cultivation equivalent to one hundred thousand years!
It was only that these Immortal Herbs had not developed intelligence and evolved into Soul Beasts.
These heavenly treasures that could not develop sentience were instead the best for nourishing the body. That was because all of their nutrients remained within themselves rather than evolving in another direction.
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan immediately sat cross-legged and swallowed the Fiery Gel in one gulp.
The moment the Fiery Gel entered his throat, it exploded like a burning sun, instantly igniting his internal organs.
Terrifying heat rampaged through his body like an erupting volcano. Lin Fan's face instantly flushed red, and veins bulged across his forehead.
"This thing... is too fierce!" he growled through gritted teeth. His Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul automatically protected him as Sacred Power resisted the violent fire energy within him.
"He's refining the Fiery Gel!" Xue Ying cried out, her eyes filled with shock. "This kid is crazy! He actually swallowed it whole!"
"Is this kid insane?!" Yue Guan's eyes widened, and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand nearly fell to the ground. "Even Soul Saints can't consume Fiery Gel directly. How could a mere Rank 30 pseudo-Soul Elder dare—"
Snow Cherry Douluo's expression changed drastically as well. She instinctively moved to stop him, but Yue Guan grabbed her. "Don't go over! Interfering with him now will only make the energy run wild. He'll definitely die then!"
Lin Fan clenched his teeth, veins bulging from his forehead as the Soul Power within him circulated madly, trying to suppress the Fiery Gel's energy.
The power of the Fiery Gel far exceeded his expectations. Violent fire-attributed energy rampaged through his Meridians as if it were about to tear his entire body apart.
Just as he was about to lose control, the marks of the Judgment Scale and Asura Sacred Sword on his forehead suddenly lit up at the same time.
Two entirely different divine powers surged into his body from opposite sides, firmly suppressing the Fiery Gel's energy.
The two divine powers worked together with perfect coordination, forcibly taming the Fiery Gel's energy and transforming it into pure Soul Power that fused into every part of Lin Fan's body.
"H-How is that possible?!" Yue Guan and Xue Ying stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, completely unable to understand what had happened.
