"No, I won't!"
Lin Yue burst out laughing, leaving Ah Yin stunned.
If he really made the method of Self-Condensed Soul Rings public, then with Soul Beasts vanishing from the world as they were now, every Soul Master would be grateful to him.
But Lin Yue simply didn't want to.
Wouldn't that make all his efforts to shelter every Soul Beast pointless?
If they had the ability, they could figure out how to make Self-Condensed Soul Rings themselves.
Or they could take a page from the future and make some Artificial Soul Rings.
Either way, he wasn't going to make the technique public.
After learning the method of Self-Condensed Soul Rings, Lin Yue immediately summoned his Martial Soul and Soul Rings.
Nine Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—appeared around him. With only three colors, they didn't look very impressive.
"Detonate!"
Boom—
Lin Yue first removed his First Soul Ring. The Yellow Soul Ring exploded completely, dissipating into the air.
It wasn't like the Clear Sky Sect's Ring Detonation, where the energy could be gathered again after the explosion.
Lin Yue didn't continue detonating his remaining Soul Rings. Instead, he immediately tried to condense his First Soul Ring.
Humm—
The process didn't take long. With the method of Self-Condensed Soul Rings that Ah Yin had given him, Lin Yue condensed a white Soul Ring in the place of his original First Soul Ring in less than fifteen minutes.
It was only in its initial state, so Lin Yue continued pouring Soul Power into it.
The Soul Ring quickly filled up. Gradually, it changed from white to yellow, then from yellow to purple, then black, and finally red.
Even after turning red, it continued to condense. Only when gold began to mingle with the red did it finally stabilize.
Lin Yue had condensed a golden-red Soul Ring that was close to a million years old.
"So powerful!"
"That's nearly a Million-Year Soul Ring, isn't it?"
"Master actually condensed such a powerful Soul Ring..."
Ah Yin's mouth hung open in shock as she watched.
She had expected Lin Yue to condense a Soul Ring of very high quality, but she hadn't imagined it would be this powerful.
Then she thought about how this was only Lin Yue's First Soul Ring, with eight more to come, and she grew so excited she could barely contain herself.
Master was just too amazing!
"Detonate them all!"
After successfully condensing a Self-Condensed Soul Ring and confirming that the method worked, Lin Yue didn't bother detonating his remaining Soul Rings one by one. This time, he blew them all up at once.
Boom—
With a deafening roar, Lin Yue's other eight Soul Rings all exploded, then turned into Soul Power and dissipated into the air.
His cultivation also dropped from the peak of the mortal world at level 99 to level 98.
But before long, the feedback from the Soul Beast Clan replenished his cultivation, and he returned to level 99.
All he lacked now was the proper realm. Otherwise, he would have already become a god through the feedback of the Soul Beast Clan.
After detonating all his Soul Rings, Lin Yue began condensing new ones.
Second Soul Ring, Third Soul Ring, Fourth Soul Ring...
Without exception, every Soul Ring Lin Yue condensed was golden-red, infinitely close to a Million-Year Soul Ring.
"So... so powerful..."
Watching from the side, Ah Yin had long since collapsed to the ground under the pressure of Lin Yue's nine Soul Rings, unable to stand.
Lin Yue didn't even need to make a move. The pressure of his Soul Power alone left Ah Yin completely powerless to resist.
Seeing Ah Yin immobilized by his Soul Power pressure, Lin Yue felt satisfied.
As long as his cultivation was strong enough, what need was there for Soul Skills?
With nothing but Soul Power pressure, this mighty one could crush people to death.
"Hahahaha!"
"Fantastic!"
"These are the nine Soul Rings worthy of this mighty one!"
Looking at the nine golden-red Soul Rings circling him, Lin Yue laughed heartily, satisfied.
"Ah Yin, come here!"
Naturally, Lin Yue wanted to celebrate now that he was in such high spirits.
"Yes, Master!"
Ah Yin understood what Lin Yue meant and immediately crawled over to him.
Then Ah Yin used her Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement, on Lin Yue.
Without any Soul Skills of his own, Lin Yue could only endure Ah Yin's Blue Silver Entanglement with his body.
Fortunately, Lin Yue's physique was strong enough that Ah Yin's Blue Silver Entanglement couldn't harm him in the slightest.
So Ah Yin could only use her other Soul Skills.
"Little sister should have sent the message back by now, right?"
"I wonder how the sect is doing!"
Far away, in some corner of Douluo Continent, Tang Hao had no idea that the Ah Yin he thought about day and night was using all kinds of Soul Skills against his enemy.
At that moment, Tang Hao was wondering what the sect would do after receiving his message.
"After receiving this message, Big Brother and the others should be able to forgive me a little, right?"
"I've lost the face to return to the sect in this lifetime. I hope the sect can flourish and regain its former glory soon!"
Tang Hao sighed, his hopes resting on the Clear Sky Sect.
He hoped the Clear Sky Sect could regain its former glory.
Instead of remaining shut behind its gates as it was now.
In just twelve years, the Clear Sky Sect had already become little more than a whisper across Douluo Continent.
If things went on like this, people would soon forget the Clear Sky Sect even existed.
Whenever he thought of it, Tang Hao was consumed by regret.
"If I'd known Ah Yin was that kind of person and that Tang San would be possessed, I never should've chosen Ah Yin!"
"I should've just killed Ah Yin back then. I could've gotten a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, too."
Tang Hao muttered to himself, his voice full of regret.
But Tang Hao also knew the truth.
If he were given the chance to live it all over again, he would still choose Ah Yin.
Because he really was infatuated with her.
Even now, despite knowing that Ah Yin had betrayed him and put a huge green hat on his head, Tang Hao realized he still couldn't forget her.
If Ah Yin was willing to come back with him, he would still forgive her.
"Who exactly is that man?"
"Why haven't I been able to find out anything about him..."
Thinking of Ah Yin, Tang Hao immediately thought of Lin Yue, the man who had taken her away.
For days, he had been searching for Ah Yin and Lin Yue.
But no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the slightest bit of information about Lin Yue.
It was as if no such person had ever existed on Douluo Continent.
The man seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
"Could it be Spirit Hall?"
"If another sect had a powerful figure like that, they'd have revealed him long ago to win prestige for both the sect and himself!"
"Only the Clear Sky Sect might have hidden someone like that!"
Tang Hao looked coldly toward Spirit Hall. It wasn't the first time he had suspected them.
"Then I'll grab someone from Spirit Hall and ask!"
