Brother, You're a Super Big Bad Guy!

"Na'er, if I were to give this little guy to someone, would you be jealous?" Lin Nuo quickly made his decision, looking at the small snake in his other hand. He had just seen that the box Ghost Emperor used could store a Soul Spirit permanently, so he could maximize the utility of this hundred-year Soul Spirit.

He wanted to replace Old Tang's position in Tang Wuling's Sea of Consciousness.

As for why he didn't choose a plant-type Soul Spirit more suited to Tang Wuling's Blue Silver Grass martial soul, it was mainly because if Tang Wuling wanted to become stronger, she had to rely on her Golden Dragon King bloodline. A plant-type Soul Spirit could indeed enhance her Blue Silver Grass bloodline, but only slightly; it wouldn't keep up with her growth in the future, effectively wasting a Soul Spirit slot.

Furthermore, the Golden Dragon King bloodline could silently influence the Soul Spirit. He wondered if changing to a hundred-year Soul Spirit this time might lead to faster evolution, though he also had to guard against the Golden Dragon King bloodline running wild. It seemed he would have to have others research preventative methods.

Otherwise, he would just have to make use of that guy, Old Tang.

What a perfect tool!

Hearing Lin Nuo's words, Na'er puffed out her cheeks instantly and said with dissatisfaction, "Brother, you wouldn't be thinking of giving the little snake to that female pervert we met yesterday, would you!"

She hadn't expected that her brother's first thought wouldn't be of her, but of that damned female pervert.

"Then is Na'er willing to absorb it?" Lin Nuo looked at Na'er. He knew that a Silver Dragon didn't need to absorb soul rings at all, so asking her was pointless.

Hearing this, Na'er fell into silence, her clear eyes falling back onto the little snake.

She knew in her heart that a snake-type Soul Spirit might not be the best, but for that female pervert with the Golden Dragon King bloodline, it was quite good.

Moreover, this was a hundred-year Soul Spirit. Even if it was incomplete, for such an ordinary family, it was as precious as charcoal in snowy weather.

Why on earth was Brother doing this?

Could it be that he had also sensed the Golden Dragon King bloodline in that person?

Impossible! This bloodline resonance could only be clearly perceived if one's own bloodline was connected to the other's. This foolish brother of hers was likely just sympathizing with that female pervert.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Na'er's cheeks puffed out slightly, like an angry little pufferfish, her pink lips pressed into a straight line as she called out crisply, "Brother."

"Hmm?" Lin Nuo's voice carried a hint of confusion as he turned to look at her.

"You are a super big bad guy!!!"

Before the words had even faded, and before Lin Nuo could react, Na'er twisted her body, stomped over to the corner of the sofa, turned her back to him, and crossed her arms over her chest, sulking by herself.

In Lin Nuo's eyes, Na'er had already chosen to agree. He walked over and reached out to stroke her small head. "Na'er, when you awaken your martial soul, Brother will get you an even better Soul Spirit, okay?"

Looking at the gentle Lin Nuo before her, Na'er's angry little face softened, though she said with a touch of feigned arrogance, "Then I want a Soul Spirit just like Brother's when the time comes."

"Fine, fine, fine," Lin Nuo said with a chuckle.

"Then Brother, go absorb your Soul Spirit." Na'er's gaze fell on the little snake. "I'll take care of this little snake."

"Alright." Lin Nuo nodded upon hearing this and handed the little snake, which was reluctant to leave him, to Na'er.

Na'er immediately took it, grabbed the box, and ran into the room. She wanted to see if she could mend the little snake's incompleteness and, incidentally, test that female pervert with the Golden Dragon King bloodline!

Lin Nuo also picked up the Golden Spear Tiger in his arms and looked at it. "Then let's begin as well."

The Golden Spear Tiger nodded. Although it was a young tiger, it could feel that it was highly compatible with the human before it.

In the shadows far from the apartment, that black-cloaked figure stood motionless, like a lifeless stone statue, having not moved a single step from beginning to end.

Only when the conversation between the two inside the apartment reached his ears word for word did he slowly stir. The shadow beneath his hood shifted slightly, as if confirming something, and he turned to leave silently.

However, seeing a figure appear behind him, he fell into silence and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Since when did you Soul Beast clan care so much about a human?"

"Holy Spirit Cult?" Zi Ji could feel that the evil soul power on this guy before her was incredibly dense, possessing strength that even suppressed her own.

"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to act, I could turn Proud Arrival City into a living hell in an instant, but unfortunately, I won't do that." After the black cloak finished speaking, he prepared to leave directly.

"Wait!" Zi Ji ultimately couldn't help but call out to this member of the Holy Spirit Cult. "The Golden Spear Tiger Soul Spirit went extinct ten thousand years ago; why does your Holy Spirit Cult possess one?"

It was impossible for people from the Holy Spirit Cult ten thousand years ago to have stored it until now, as the Holy Spirit Cult at that time lacked the ability to store Soul Spirits and hadn't even dabbled in Soul Tools.

How could it have been stored until now? Such a method was far too bizarre.

The black-cloaked figure's footsteps stopped again, but he did not turn back. The emotions beneath his hood were unreadable, and only a flat, ripple-less response came: "I don't know."

He paused, then added, his tone devoid of any fluctuation: "I am merely someone delivering an item."

Before the words had finished, a faint layer of black mist suddenly rose around him. His figure seemed to be swallowed by the mist, instantly becoming blurred, and in the next second, he vanished without a trace, leaving not even a ripple of soul power behind, as if he had never appeared at all.

Zi Ji stood where she was, looking at the empty space ahead. Her brows furrowed tightly as she fell into deep contemplation, her heart heavy and gloomy. The task the Master had entrusted to her had failed after all.

At this moment, Lin Nuo, who was meditating while absorbing the Soul Spirit, did not know that his small cheat had caused a chain reaction.

The Golden Spear Tiger's Soul Spirit was currently being slowly absorbed by Lin Nuo.

Because Lin Nuo's Sea of Consciousness was not comparable to that of an ordinary person, he finished the absorption after a short while.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the Golden Spear Tiger's Soul Spirit had already appeared. The Throne of Time stood slowly there, and it seemed that the moment Lin Nuo finished absorbing the first Soul Spirit, it underwent a slight change.

Lin Nuo didn't notice anything; among the other thrones, only the Throne of Right and Wrong was brighter, indicating that only Lin Xiu had absorbed the most soul rings, while the others had not.

Just then, the Golden Spear Tiger's body began to change, and Lin Nuo immediately looked over.

The Golden Spear Tiger's entire body erupted with golden light, as if it were being assimilated by a force, or rather, being forcibly evolved.

"Is time assimilating my Soul Spirit?" Lin Nuo narrowed his eyes.

In an instant, the golden light filling the sky suddenly retracted and dissipated completely. The Golden Spear Tiger's form had undergone a world-shaking change.

Its body was surrounded by a faint, strange halo. As the halo flowed, it seemed to contain flickering light and fragmented shadows, as if it were wrapped in the textures of time, making its entire body appear even more miraculous.

What was most startling were its pupils. The eyes, which had been as clear as a college student's, now displayed clear temporal patterns.

It was a peculiar, twisting, spiraling pattern, resembling both a pendulum and an hourglass. Every contraction of its pupils seemed to resonate with the invisible power of time, causing subtle ripples in the surrounding space. One could faintly feel the subtle aura of time flowing; the tiger's entire temperament instantly became profound and mysterious, tightly intertwined with time.

Lin Nuo looked at the Golden Spear Tiger's changes and tried to release his first soul skill. "First Soul Skill, Holy Spear of Time."

The Golden Spear Tiger instantly transformed into a golden, incredibly sacred spear, which slowly descended into Lin Nuo's hand.
