The Golden Love Triangle Was Gone

One of the men had a hooked nose and wore square-framed glasses. His Martial Soul was a Cat Owl, and he was surrounded by five Soul Ring: two yellow, two purple, and one black. He would occasionally unleash a few wind blades, making the Fire Lion look rather disheveled. The other man had short hair parted in a 3/7 style, an ordinary appearance, and rather thick lips. His Martial Soul was a peculiar creature that looked neither like a pig nor a dog.

Upon seeing Ye Qinghe and Ah Yin ahead, the man with short, parted hair called out loudly, "My two friends, please stop this Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Lion for us!"

"It was these guys..."

Ye Qinghe recognized them at a glance as Liu Erlong, Flender, and Yu Xiaogang, and murmured to himself.

"You know them?" Ah Yin asked in surprise.

"Hmm, I guess so." Ye Qinghe remained noncommittal.

At this moment, the Fire Lion had already fled over. Seeing that Ye Qinghe and Ah Yin had not summoned their Martial Soul, the not-so-intelligent lion planned to casually swat them away and then continue its escape.

Ye Qinghe's right hand surged with black and red light, and without even looking, he struck out with his palm. The Fire Lion pounced over, but was sent flying by his palm. Before the Fire Lion could get up, it was bound by Dark Green Vine summoned by Ah Yin.

At this moment, Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang finally arrived.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your help, brother. I am Flender, this is my brother, Yu Xiaogang, and this is..."

Flender stepped forward to thank him and introduce himself, but hesitated when he introduced Liu Erlong, clearly because it was the first time he had met her and he did not know her.

As for why he helped her hunt Soul Beast, it must have been love at first sight.

After all, you could tell from the way Flender and Yu Xiaogang were looking at Liu Erlong that something was off about their gazes.

"My name is Liu Erlong. Thank you for subduing this Fire Lion for me; otherwise, I would have had to put in a lot of effort."

Liu Erlong stepped forward to introduce herself and expressed her gratitude to Ye Qinghe. Then she said to Flender and Yu Xiaogang, "And you too, thank you very much."

"It's alright, it's alright, Miss Erlong, this meeting is fate." Flender scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.

Yu Xiaogang, feigning aloofness, shook his head and said, "It's alright, I wasn't much of a help."

Liu Erlong has always been a straightforward person. After thanking Yu Xiaogang and Flender, she looked at Ye Qinghe and Ah Yin with considerable curiosity and said, "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Liu Erlong, my Martial Soul Fire Dragon, and I am a level 50, four-ring Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. You two are very powerful. One of you was able to defeat this Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Lion with a single palm strike, and the other, as a plant-type Soul Master, is not afraid of flames. Can you tell me your names?"

"My brother Ye has a somewhat special identity, so it's not convenient for me to give my name. You'll find out later. As for me, you can just call me Ah Yin," Ah Yin said, standing next to Ye Qinghe.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghe knew that Ah Yin was about to get jealous again, but unfortunately, she had misunderstood him. He hadn't yet confirmed his relationship with Liu Erlong in the future.

"Ye?" Liu Erlong glanced at Ye Qinghe with interest, and seeing that he and Ah Yin were a perfect match, he nodded with a half-smile, turned around and walked towards the Fire Lion. After taking out the short blade he carried with him and killing it with one strike, he began to absorb the ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Lion Soul Ring.

Ye Qinghe, along with Ah Yin, Flender, and Yu Xiaogang, tacitly chose to stay and protect Liu Erlong.

During this time, neither Ye Qinghe nor Ah Yin showed any interest in talking to Yu Xiaogang Flender.

However, Yu Xiaogang noticed that Ah Yin's Plant-type Martial Soul was able to withstand the flames on the Fire Lion's body. Whether he was interested in her Martial Soul or in her as a person, he took the initiative to go up and start a conversation.

"Miss Ah Yin, your Martial Soul is very special. It can actually break the limitation of Martial Soul attribute restraint and is not afraid of the Fire Lion's flames. According to my..."

Ye Qinghe had no interest in listening to his nonsense, and feigned surprise as he asked, "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, are you a researcher of Martial Soul Theory?"

"Yes, that's right. I started researching it when I was six years old." A smug look involuntarily appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face as he spoke of his Martial Soul Theory.

As he spoke, he didn't forget to take out the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul that he had been researching from his Soul Tool.

Flender chimed in, "Little Anal's theories are really impressive; he knows everything."

Ye Qinghe ignored Flender, and simply took the so-called ' Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul ' from Yu Xiaogang, and began to read it, examining it together with Ah Yin.

During this time, Ye Qinghe did not utter a word, but simply flipped through the pages quietly.

Ah Yin was the same; the more she looked, the more her brows furrowed, because Yu Xiaogang's so-called Martial Soul Theory was full of flaws.

In many places, it's completely superfluous.

An hour later, when Liu Erlong had almost finished absorbing the Soul Ring, Ye Qinghe closed the book and handed it back to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang asked expectantly, "How was it?"

"Do you want the truth or a lie?" Ye Qinghe asked seriously.

"The truth." Yu Xiaogang felt a sense of foreboding, but still spoke.

Ye Qinghe, "Then let me explain. Overall, it records most of the basic theoretical knowledge, and also records the Education Commission's detailed methods for identifying the age of Soul Beast. For some low-level Soul Master, it is not a bad textbook."

"However, the flaws within are also quite obvious. For example, this point states that animal spirits can absorb plant Soul Ring, and plant Martial Soul can absorb animal Soul Ring. It's not that this is wrong, but it's too one-sided and doesn't consider the rejection of Soul Ring. For instance, a plant Martial Soul owner might be able to absorb a 400-year Soul Ring as their First Soul Ring ring, but after absorbing an animal Soul Ring, they can only absorb a maximum of 350 years, or even 300 years. Making them absorb a 400-year animal Soul Ring could very likely lead to the Soul Master exploding and dying due to Soul Ring, exceeding their absorption limit..."

"And this one: the level of Innate Soul Power is directly proportional to the strength of the Martial Soul; the stronger the Innate Soul Power, the stronger the Martial Soul. If it's inversely proportional, then there must be an even more powerful Martial Soul —this is called twins... The beginning of this sentence is fine, but the latter part is completely wrong, because the basic condition for the birth of Twin Martial Souls is that the Martial Soul are of similar quality..."

Ye Qinghe spoke eloquently, while Ah Yin listened attentively, nodding repeatedly in admiration.

On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang's face grew increasingly dark, and in the end, unable to bear Ye Qinghe's correction, he simply ran away.

At this moment, Liu Erlong finally finished absorbing the Soul Ring and woke up. She happened to see Yu Xiaogang running away and asked in surprise, "What is he doing?"

"He claimed to be Grandmaster of Martial Soul Theory. I looked at his research and found that many of his theories were wrong. After getting his permission, I pointed them out, but he seemed unable to handle the provocation and ran away," Ye Qinghe said truthfully.

"That's really too sensitive." Liu Erlong shook her head and looked at Flender. "Aren't you brothers? Why don't you hurry up and chase after him? He's just a Soul Grandmaster; it's very dangerous in this Soul Beast Forest."
