Thunder Rolled

At the same time, in the "Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain" Mimicry Cultivation Ground for plants and trees in the eastern district of the [Heavenly Craft Academy].

Ah Yin crouched down and gently stroked the leaves of each "Blue Silver Grass," spreading her Soul Power evenly like rain. The close stimulation of the "Blue Silver Emperor's" bloodline aura caused these "Blue Silver Grass" to sway wildly as if they had been injected with hormones, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ah Rou stood behind Ah Yin, watching as the other party brazenly exposed her soul Soul Beast aura, and hesitated several times before speaking.

Having already integrated the ' Blue Silver Domain ' into ' Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain ' and temporarily gained control of this Mimicry Cultivation Ground, Ah Yin, even with her back turned, still 'saw' Ah Rou's expression.

Ah Yin understood that the other party was struggling with whether or not to reveal their true identity as a transformed Soul Beast.

Ah Yin was happy to see this happen. As early as when she first saw the little girl named Ah Rou behind her, Ah Yin had noticed the aura of Soul Beast on her body and had been looking for an opportunity to confront her.

Just then, seemingly having finally made up her mind, Ah Rou took half a step forward and spoke to Ah Yin's retreating figure, asking:

"Um... you... you're also Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, right?"

Upon hearing this question, Ah Yin's lips curled into a smile, and she slowly stood up.

However, before she could turn around to face Ah Rou, Ah Rou continued, "Ling Yi... Ling Yi is also Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form. Your Martial Soul are both ' Blue Silver Grass,' he is 'Azure Blue Silver King,' and you are ' Blue Silver Emperor.' Are you his mother?"

"Why is his human age older than yours?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning. 👌👽 🐊☞ Ah Rou's words seemed even more ferocious than the heavenly lightning she had faced years ago!

Ah Rou, however, was completely oblivious to Ah Yin's petrified state, still immersed in a mental storm of unsolvable puzzlement. She and Xiao Wu had both received a fortuitous opportunity back then, which allowed them to cultivate all the way to breaking through the 100,000-year barrier. However, because she was older than Xiao Wu at the beginning and her mind was more mature, she broke through first.

According to Ah Rou's estimate, Xiao Wu will need to cultivate for at least another twenty years before she can reach the threshold of human transformation.

"No... no..." Ah Yin looked at Ah Rou, somewhat bewildered, "How did you figure out that Brother Yi is Soul Beast?"

"We've already talked it out, why are you still calling him ' Brother Yi '?"

Ah Rou her eyes at Ah Yin and pouted, "Or is it that he's really older than you, so—you're his daughter and he's your father?"

After a pause, before Ah Yin could say anything, Ah Rou continued, "As for how I figured it out, I have to say, Ling Yi is incredibly bold. He clearly has a secret technique to conceal his soul Soul Beast aura, yet back in the Star Dou Great Forest, he actually exposed it directly in front of a Soul Douluo. If I hadn't taken Er Ming to rescue him, he probably would have been..."

As Ah Rou recounted how she met Ling Yi, Ah Yin's expression shifted between light and shadow. 🎀ൠ 🍭🐉

As for the blunder of Ah Rou mistaking Ling Yi for a transformed Soul Beast and directly having the "Titan Giant Ape" "rescue" him, Ah Yin was speechless, but compared to suddenly becoming Brother Yi's mother or daughter, it was nothing.

What really bothered Ah Yin was that, in order to save Yang Shelly, Brother Yi actually faced the "Dark Demon Evil God Tiger," which was comparable to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Soul Ancestor, head-on!

The thought of a massive Space Collapse caused by multiple "Starry Sky Fireworks" is enough to make Ah Yin's heart tremble.

With this thought in mind, Ah Yin lost all interest in chatting leisurely with Ah Rou. She frowned slightly and said directly, "Brother Yi is not Soul Beast, I am. He is a real human."

"How could that be?!" Ah Rou didn't believe it at all, her face showing a "don't try to fool me" expression.

Ah Yin didn't care about Ah Rou's attitude. "Whether you believe it or not, he does know that you're Soul Beast, but..."

At this point, Ah Yin's expression became complicated. "He didn't mention it to anyone, not even me..."

At this moment, she had a vague feeling that Brother Yi might already know her identity as a transformed Soul Beast.

Perhaps it was Ah Yin's overly solemn tone, or perhaps it was Ah Yin's admission that she was a transformed Soul Beast, thus increasing her persuasiveness, but Ah Rou's small mouth opened slightly, and her big eyes widened even more. "Ling Yi... he really isn't Soul Beast?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she recalled the scene in her mind where Ling Yi had repeatedly told her, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, Er Ming, that he was not Soul Beast.

If this is true, then their previous act of "rescuing" Ling Yi was somewhat "stupid".

"Wrong!"

Suddenly, Ah Rou had a jolt. She remembered another piece of strong evidence proving that Ling Yi was Soul Beast, and immediately looked intently at Ah Yin: "If he's not Soul Beast, then why do all his Soul Ring condense on their own?"

"It condenses on its own?" Ah Yin raised her eyebrows and looked at Ah Rou with some surprise.

"Yes!" Ah Rou nodded vigorously. "I saw it with my own eyes. Ling Yi's Fifth Soul Ring was formed by him gathering the power of countless Blue Silver Grass."

"His first four Soul Ring should have been like that too. Although the process of forming them was different from ours, they were filled with his own aura, and their purity, devoid of any other Soul Beast aura, meant they definitely couldn't have been obtained by human Soul Master hunting Soul Beast!"

Her resolute tone seemed to represent Ah Rou's unwavering belief that Ling Yi was indeed Soul Beast!

Ah Yin: "..."

Listening to what Ah Rou said, seeing her serious expression, and considering the special nature of Ling Yi's Soul Ring, Ah Yin almost believed what she said: that Brother Yi was Soul Beast.

Shaking her head to dismiss the absurd thought that had just crossed her mind, Ah Yin coughed lightly and explained to Ah Rou, "I don't know what Brother Yi's Fifth Soul Ring is, but as far as I know, Brother Yi's first four Soul Ring all came from ' Blue Silver Grass ' that he cultivated himself."

"As for why those four Soul Ring didn't contain the aura of those ' Blue Silver Grass,' it's because those four ' Blue Silver Grass ' didn't completely die after losing their Soul Ring. Most of their consciousness remained in a seed. This is a natural ability of us plant-type Soul Beast; we can regenerate through methods such as leaving roots, leaving seeds, and propagating branches..."

Through his own willpower, Brother Yi erased the remaining consciousness within those four Soul Ring, and then refined them with his own spiritual power and Soul Power, thus obtaining four Soul Ring that were entirely his own...
