"Ahhhhhhh—!!!"
Tang San's scream was like cloth being torn, sharp and piteous, nothing like a human voice.
The agony was like countless red-hot brands, twisting and scorching wildly inside his abdomen.
He could clearly feel the two Martial Souls, so closely bound to his soul and once his greatest pride, crumbling inch by inch under the savage invading Soul Power!
It wasn't just the destruction of his source of strength. It was the complete shattering of his foundation as a Soul Master!
"My Martial Souls... my... power..."
Tang San wailed in despair.
Without a Martial Soul, what was he in this world where Soul Masters reigned supreme? What could he use to save Xiao Wu?
Xiao Wu's figure flashed through his blurred vision. The helplessness of being unable to save the one he loved instantly became a bone-eating poison, gnawing at his soul.
"No... Xiao Wu... I... I can't save you..."
He whimpered like a dying beast, tears mingling with blood and grime.
The Shrek group were stunned by the sudden upheaval, as if they'd been struck by a body-freezing spell.
Dai Mubai and the others looked at Tang San's plight with sympathy, but didn't dare say much.
There was also a trace of wariness and distance in their eyes, hard to detect.
The truth Tang Hao had exposed was too horrifying. It had instinctively filled them with a powerful sense of alienation and distrust toward the companion they'd spent day and night with.
Yu Xiaogang, the Grandmaster of theory, had taken the hardest blow.
He swayed, as if he'd aged ten years in an instant.
His prized disciple, in whom he'd invested all his heart and soul, whom he'd regarded as the finest proof of his theories—and even his hope of making a comeback—was ruined!
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end only let out a pained, stifled sigh.
Thud~
Tang Hao casually tossed Tang San to the ground like a rag doll.
After crippling Tang San's Martial Souls, the towering killing intent in Tang Hao's heart seemed to have subsided somewhat, but the coldness and hatred in his eyes remained undiminished.
He'd seen the deep despair in Tang San's eyes and heard him call out for Xiao Wu. Far from stirring any pity in him, it brought him a twisted sense of satisfaction. This thief deserved to taste what it was like to lose the most important thing in his life!
Just as Tang Hao had lost Ah Yin!
He gave one last glance at the bastard who'd taken over his son's body and indirectly caused him to lose everything. There was not the slightest trace of attachment in his eyes, only utter resolve and revulsion.
"You're not my son, and I'm not your father!"
"Don't ever call yourself Tang Hao's son again!"
Tang Hao spoke coldly, then turned and left.
Now that he'd crippled Tang San, only one obsession remained in his heart, one goal burning with the flames of revenge: find Lin Yue and take back Ah Yin!
Even though he didn't even know Lin Yue's name yet.
"Ah Yin..." The name howled soundlessly in his heart, filled with endless pain and a frenzied possessiveness.
If Ah Yin was willing to come back, he could choose to forgive her betrayal.
But if she refused to return, then she, too, would become a target for his revenge.
As for Xiao Wu?
He didn't lack Soul Rings now, and there was no room left for a Soul Bone on his body. He had no interest in her anymore.
But he would send this information back to the sect.
How the sect handled it was the sect's business.
After all, he no longer had the face to return to the Clear Sky Sect.
He felt like a joke now.
Back then, for Ah Yin, he'd practically given up the Clear Sky Sect and the position of sect master.
And now?
The love he'd believed in was a joke. Not only had Ah Yin left him, she'd also cuckolded him spectacularly.
Even their son had been possessed by someone else long ago.
Whoosh~
The next moment, Tang Hao's figure abruptly blurred into a shadow, then vanished completely from everyone's sight.
Leaving Shrek with a whole mess to clean up.
Meanwhile, Lin Yue had finally found the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The area was shrouded by a massive poisonous miasma. In truth, the miasma was a poison formation Dugu Bo had set up to protect the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well from discovery by outsiders.
With Dugu Bo's mastery of poison, ordinary people couldn't break through the miasma he'd laid down.
Even Titled Douluo wouldn't dare try lightly.
But then, who told them Lin Yue had an Immortal Herb?
"Aromatic Silk Beauty, it's up to you!"
Lin Yue took out the Aromatic Silk Beauty, a holy item for warding off poison, and passed through the miasma with ease.
The miasma automatically parted around Lin Yue as he held the Immortal Herb.
After entering, Lin Yue soon reached the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"Dugu Bo isn't here. That makes it convenient for me to absorb the Immortal Herbs."
After putting away the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Lin Yue took out both Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs from the Containment Shelter.
Next came the usual process of absorbing Immortal Herbs.
Without a hitch, Lin Yue used the power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to successfully absorb both Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs.
After he'd finished absorbing them, his physique was enhanced by leaps and bounds. He also gained immunity to ice and fire, along with the ability to resist all poisons.
Next, Lin Yue absorbed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew as well.
This Immortal Herb strengthened eyesight and boosted mental power. Its medicinal properties didn't conflict at all with those of the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs, so he could absorb it too.
After absorbing all three Immortal Herbs, Lin Yue could truly feel himself transformed. His physique, mental power, and eyesight had all undergone a metamorphosis.
He could now see Soul Power flowing through the air with his naked eyes.
Unfortunately, his Soul Power Level hadn't increased. He was still at Level 91.
But Lin Yue wasn't in a hurry about that. Even without cultivating, the feedback he received from the Containment Shelter each day was already far greater than what other Titled Douluo gained from diligently cultivating every day.
"System, can you contain the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in front of me?"
Looking at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before him, Lin Yue suddenly asked the system.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before him was the real treasure.
Without the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings transforming into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well after their deaths, where would all those Immortal Herbs have come from?
And it could nurture not just one batch of Immortal Herbs, but many.
Generation after generation of Douluo, generation after generation picking Immortal Herbs.
[Beep~ The Containment Shelter only contains Soul Beasts. For other items, the host must handle them personally!]
"Fine, as long as it can be contained. I'll do it myself, then!"
The system's answer made Lin Yue break into a smile.
So he could move the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well after all.
Splash~
Lin Yue soon jumped back into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and soaked himself in it.
Vrrm—
Lin Yue released his Soul Power and used it to wrap around a large mass of water from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Whoosh~
Then, Lin Yue entered the Containment World with that large mass of water.
Afterward, Lin Yue came back out and repeated the process again and again, patiently transferring batches of water from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well into the Containment Shelter.
After Lin Yue left, all he left Dugu Bo was an empty shell of an Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Who knew what expression Dugu Bo would have when he returned and saw this?
