The method Huangfu Qingrou proposed stirred a trace of wariness in Chen Lin.
Linking their souls was no great concern. Even if his Soul Seed collapsed, his current soul strength would still be no weaker than that of the Dao Integration Realm. Her soul power could not possibly pose a threat to him.
But taking her talent Origin Orb into his own body carried a certain degree of danger.
He possessed a talent ability himself and knew full well how formidable such abilities could be. They were applications of rules, not something that profound cultivation alone could resist.

Still, this experiment had to be done.
After some thought, he took out Scholar.
Back on Great Desolation Island, Scholar had already finished refining the True Spirit Blood. Although he had yet to reach the Spirit-Condensing level, he was not far off. His independent combat strength was roughly equivalent to the middle or late Void Refinement stage. With Chen Lin controlling him, he could even unleash strength at the Dao Rhyme level.

The Thunder God Sword lay dormant there.
