Tang San, Your Man Exploded!

Ghost Vine was finally dead.

The parasitic vines wrapped around Yu Xiaogang finally lost their effect.

Ye Ying swiftly used the massive ice cream cone to slice them apart.

Though it was an ice cream cone, its tip was still extremely sharp.

This was no ordinary ice cream cone.

It was Snow King's ice cream cone.

Ghost Vine was dead, but Yu Xiaogang's body was still continuously swelling.

Not only had it not returned to normal, it was expanding more and more severely.

Though he had not been poisoned, the effect was almost the same as being poisoned.

He looked exactly like Luo Sanpao preparing to unleash a soul skill.

"Something seems off."

"Isn't he going to explode, is he?"

Ye Ying said doubtfully.

"No, definitely not."

Yu Xiaogang answered with great difficulty.

But Ye Ying was still frightened enough to quickly back away, retreating a good five or six meters.

If he really exploded, wouldn't Ye Ying get splattered all over?

"Liu Ruyan, your claws are sharp. Go poke him and see whether he'll explode."

Ye Ying began coaxing the Blue Silver Weasel.

"No, no, I'm not going."

The Blue Silver Weasel repeatedly shook her head.

"Why don't you go?"

Ye Ying said, "I'm afraid that if he really explodes, I'll get splattered all over."

The Blue Silver Weasel was dumbfounded.

"No, you pathetic man, you're afraid of getting splattered, but you're not afraid of splattering me?"

"I'm afraid of getting splattered too!"

Ye Ying rolled his eyes at her.

"You're a weasel. What are you afraid of? Just jump into the water and wash yourself off."

"Go on."

"No."

"Go!"

"No!"

"You don't get a choice!"

Ye Ying kicked the Blue Silver Weasel right in the rear.

With a whoosh, the Blue Silver Weasel traced a graceful arc through the air and landed precisely on Yu Xiaogang.

And her claws just so happened to poke into Yu Xiaogang's massively swollen body.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion rang out.

Ye Ying did not even dare to look.

The sound alone was outrageous.

He suddenly shouted at Tang San, "Ah!"

"Grandmaster exploded!"

"Tang San, your man exploded!"

After shouting that, Ye Ying hid behind a tree and did not dare show himself at all.

Only after estimating that the aftermath of Yu Xiaogang's explosion had passed did he cautiously poke his head out.

By then, Tang San had no time to absorb anything after killing Ghost Vine.

She and Sigma quickly ran over to Yu Xiaogang's side.

The two of them were examining Yu Xiaogang's condition beside him.

Bloody water stained red was everywhere around them.

Yu Xiaogang had long since lost all color from his body, his entire body deathly pale.

The skin in various places, having been blasted by his own blood, looked swollen as though it had been soaked in water.

Anyone unaware of the truth would have thought he had been submerged in water for days.

That he had already breathed his last.

That explosion had not drained every last drop of blood from his body, but it had come close.

Blue Silver Weasel glared fiercely at Ye Ying.

That blast had splattered her from head to toe with bloody water.

"Whew→ whew↓ whew↑ whew→ whew↓"

Ye Ying whistled as he slowly stepped forward, pretending not to have seen anything.

"Hey, Tang San, Grandmaster wasn't killed by that blast just now, was he?"

Ye Ying said faintly.

Sigma was in no mood for jokes.

He quickly placed his hand in front of Yu Xiaogang's nose.

"He's still breathing."

"He can be treated."

"But he's lost a little too much blood right now."

"If he recuperates slowly, he'll definitely regain consciousness."

Ye Ying sighed inwardly as well.

"Xiaogang really has a rough fate. He nearly died both times he hunted Soul Rings."

Sigma instructed the two of them.

"I'll take care of him."

"You two should go absorb your Soul Rings immediately."

"If you wait too long, the Soul Rings will dissipate."

Sigma continuously poured his Soul Power into Yu Xiaogang's body.

It could provide a little treatment and speed up Yu Xiaogang's recovery.

But no one knew when he would wake up.

At this moment, the only ones who were not worried at all were probably Ye Ying, who knew the plot, and Blue Silver Weasel.

Tang San and Ye Ying sat cross-legged.

Each of them guided their chosen Soul Ring toward their martial soul.

Blue Silver Weasel had still been washing herself in the water when she was suddenly yanked away by Soul Power.

A yellow Soul Ring directly encircled her body, forcibly making her absorb it.

Blue Silver Weasel was just about to start cursing.

When she suddenly felt an incredibly pleasurable sensation.

"Ah!"

"So strong!"

"Faster!"

"Put some strength into it!"

The yellow Soul Ring Ye Ying was absorbing quickly encircled his body.

Surging Soul Power washed over him.

But it was like an adult holding a mortar cannon facing a newborn infant.

There was no pressure at all.

His absorption speed was also extremely fast.

[Ye Ying successfully absorbed the 423-year Water Wolf Soul Ring.]

Next, it was time for Ye Ying to begin modifying it.

As for the age limit, he only needed to ask the system what the upper limit was.

"System, what is the upper limit for modifying the Soul Ring's age this time?"

"It won't still be less than a thousand years, will it?"

[No. The stronger you become, the higher the limit of the strength you can modify will rise.]

[The current modification limit for Soul Rings is 5,000 years.]

Hearing this from the system, Ye Ying immediately began making modifications.

However, he needed to think carefully about the matter of years.

How could he maximize the benefits and save Points when raising the age limit later?

"Four hundred and twenty-three years means four hundred and twenty-three one-year ones. Give me the scenario description like that."

Although the system displayed scenario descriptions, some details were not explicitly stated at times.

There was no such thing as the most detailed description—only more detailed ones.

If he asked the system to be more specific or detailed about something, it could display it.

Because this was the actual situation, and as long as it was real, it could be displayed.

After considering it, the system swiftly displayed the scenario description, just as it had before.

Though it was a little awkwardly phrased, that was indeed how it worked.

[Ye Ying successfully absorbed four hundred and twenty-three one-year Water Wolf Soul Rings.]

"Then change the one to ten for me."

If he had simply changed the hundred to a thousand, it would only have become 4,023 years.

But now, it was 4,230 years.

"First change Water to Ice, then change Wolf to Spirit."

That turned Water Wolf into Ice Spirit.

It was similar to his first Soul Ring.

[Ye Ying successfully absorbed four hundred and twenty-three ten-year Ice Spirit Soul Rings.]

[Ye Ying absorbed a 4,230-year Ice Spirit Soul Ring.]

"Keep modifying it. Change the two to a nine."

He had saved a great deal again for the future.

When it came to Points, every one he could earn counted.

[Modification complete. Current Points: 3,971]

[Ye Ying absorbed a 4,930-year Ice Spirit Soul Ring.]
