The Haozi Brothers
A ring of extremely deep black Soul Ring rose from above the corpse of the Unicorn Fire Dragon.
Thus, this Soul Beast, over 90,000 years old, was completely annihilated.
"He's dead?"
Ling Yuan stared blankly at the corpse of the Unicorn Fire Dragon, her eyes filled with disbelief.
He seemed unable to believe that this powerful, 90,000-year-old Soul Beast, which even after he became Titled Douluo, he wasn't entirely confident in hunting, had been killed so easily.
The impenetrable darkness vanished, and Ye Qinghe, who had already retracted his Martial Soul Avatar, flew over and landed in front of the corpse of the Unicorn Fire Dragon.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan quickly flew down and gasped, asking, "Was that black mist your domain?"
"Hmm." Ye Qinghe did not deny it, but turned to look at the corpse of the Unicorn Fire Dragon. He raised his hand and sucked, and a piece of completely red, extremely intact torso bone flew out and landed in his hand.
"So he really is after this Soul Bone? Oh well, he killed this Soul Beast anyway, so the Soul Bone should naturally belong to him."
Seeing Ye Qinghe take the Soul Bone, Ling Yuan felt a strange sense of loss in her eyes.
Just when she thought Ye Qinghe was going to take the Soul Bone, to her surprise, Ye Qinghe didn't even glance at it, and simply tossed over the priceless, over 90,000-year-old Unicorn Fire Dragon's skeleton.
Ling Yuan subconsciously took the Soul Bone, and her gaze towards Ye Qinghe seemed to hold something more. She felt a strange sense of joy, a mixture of happiness at having the Soul Bone back and something else entirely.
She asked with a smile, "This Soul Bone is of extremely high quality, and it's the most important torso bone. Even across the entire Douluo Continent, it would be difficult to find Soul Bone of higher quality than this. You just gave it to me like this?"
"Alright, hurry up and absorb this Soul Ring. If you don't want it, you can give it back to me," Ye Qinghe.
"Don't even think about it." Ling Yuan felt a surge of joy in her heart, and she lovingly stored the Soul Bone into her Soul Tool.
He then sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring of the Unicorn Fire Dragon.
After Ling Yuan entered meditation, Ye Qinghe took out the Character Recruitment Card. At this moment, the Character Recruitment Card had changed, with an indicator added to it. The indicator arrow kept trembling and pointing in a certain direction.
No matter how he changes his orientation, he will always point in that direction.
Ye Qinghe thought to himself, "It seems this should be Ah Yin's location."
The Soul Ring of the Unicorn Fire Dragon for over 90,000 years is undoubtedly dangerous for those Quasi-Titled Douluo who have just broken through to Level 90. Even if Ling Yuan has already opened up her eight extraordinary meridians, she is still vulnerable without any Soul Bone to improve her physique.
It was also difficult to withstand the immense energy of this Soul Ring.
Blood beads quickly secreted from her body surface, turning into a blood mist that swirled around Ling Yuan.
Fortunately, Ye Qinghe had used Mental Spikes earlier, which greatly weakened the soul of this Unicorn Fire Dragon. Therefore, the Soul Shock it generated was not strong and was negligible.
All she needs to do is withstand the immense energy of this Soul Ring.
Just as the energy of the Soul Ring was about to cause Ling Yuan to explode and die, Ye Qinghe sat cross-legged behind her at the critical moment, channeled the Soul Power the Tiangang Formula into her meridians, and guided the Soul Ring energy absorbed into her body.
The restless energy within Ling Yuan's body, which was on the verge of bursting out, finally calmed down and was gradually absorbed by her. About two and a half days passed.
Ling Yuan finally opened her eyes, and nine Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and five black—burst forth. Looking at the Soul Ring on her body, Ling Yuan felt a surge of joy, but also a wave of fear.
She ultimately underestimated the impact of the Unicorn Fire Dragon Soul Ring on her body. If it weren't for Ye Qinghe's protection, she would probably have exploded and died by now.
"Thank you." Ling Yuan, who had just narrowly escaped death, looked at Ye Qinghe's handsome face so close to hers, her charming face full of sincerity and gratitude.
"It's alright. I've seen you naked, and now I've hunted this Soul Beast for you. Now we're even." Ye Qinghe smiled, then winked and teased, "If you feel bad about it, you can always offer yourself to me. Being with me, letting the world know, is not shameful."
"Pah, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth." Ling Yuan blushed, avoiding Ye Qinghe's gaze, and for a fleeting moment, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.
It's no wonder she's like that; women are all attracted to strength.
Even after she became a Titled Douluo, she was no exception.
At the same time, her experiences over the past few days have deeply shaken her.
First, this guy who suddenly appeared saw his naked body. Then, he, a dignified Level 90 Quasi-Titled Douluo, was almost killed by this guy who only had the cultivation of Soul Saint. After inviting the other party to help hunt down the Unicorn Fire Dragon, the other party did almost nothing, and the Unicorn Fire Dragon was severely injured and on the verge of death by this guy.
What shocked her most was that this person in front of her was actually unmoved by the skeleton of the 90,000-year-old Unicorn Fire Dragon.
Not only that, but when he was unable to withstand the energy of the Soul Ring, he somehow managed to save himself.
So much so that at this moment, whether it was his strength or his character, Ye Qinghe had deeply impressed and attracted Ling Yuan.
However, since they had only known each other for a short time, and out of a girl's modesty, she did not agree to Ye Qinghe's seemingly joking remark.
Just as Ling Yuan's heart stirred slightly at Ye Qinghe's words, Ye Qinghe spoke again, "Find a safe place to absorb that Soul Bone yourself later. I'm leaving."
Upon hearing that Ye Qinghe was leaving, Ling Yuan became increasingly agitated and blurted out in a panic:
"Come on, where are you going? If you have nowhere to go, you can consider joining our Spirit Hall. With your strength, even if you don't advance to Titled Douluo, I believe His Holiness the Pope will make an exception and grant you the position of Elder. Then we can..."
By the end, her voice was barely audible.
"No, thank you. See you another time." After saying that, Ye Qinghe no longer hesitated and activated his Martial Soul Possession. With a flap of his wings, he rose into the sky in the blink of an eye and disappeared into the horizon as a streak of light.
Ling Yuan was left standing there, feeling inexplicably lost.
In a small mountain village near a dilapidated town in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, two burly men with a striking resemblance were camping around a campfire.
One of them looked to be around fifty years old, with some graying beard, and appeared somewhat aged. The other looked much younger, around thirty or forty years old. Both were very robust in build.
His muscles were like granite, and his body radiated strong Soul Power fluctuations, clearly indicating that he was a strength-type Soul Master.
Their identities are none other than the Haozi Brothers, who are hunting down Soul Beast over 50,000 years old under the guise of exploring the continent to obtain Soul Bone.
