First Soul Skill: Universal Pull!

Too bad. If I wanted to absorb a Soul Spirit, I'd probably have to wait a few days until my body fully recovered.

"This is the Life Fruit my grandmother gave me. You should eat it."

Just then, a soft, sticky voice sounded by Lin Yuan's ear.

Lin Yuan looked back and saw a small emerald-green fruit lying in the girl's hand.

When the girl saw that Lin Yuan did not take it right away, she pressed her lips together. The light in her eyes dimmed for an instant, as if she had remembered something unpleasant, and her hand unconsciously shrank back a little. She explained, sounding somewhat aggrieved, "It's real. Please don't throw it away. Hurry and eat it."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He took the fruit and swallowed it in one bite.

Seeing that, the corners of the girl's mouth instantly lifted, and her previously gloomy heart was immediately filled with a sense of fulfillment.

Only a few minutes passed before the injuries on Lin Yuan's body instantly stopped worsening.

And waves of life force continued to pour in, repairing his injured body at an extremely rapid speed.

Lin Yuan did not hesitate either, immediately sinking into deep meditation.

When she saw Lin Yuan enter meditation, the girl hurriedly took out several fruits that were likewise rich in life energy from within her clothes and placed them beside him to assist his meditation.

With the help of these Life Fruits, Lin Yuan's meditation was extraordinarily effective. His spiritual power recovered almost within minutes.

Not only that, but his spiritual sea became even more solid than before. The price, however, was that the Life Fruits instantly shriveled and turned black.

Lin Yuan woke and looked at the imprisoned Starry Sky Behemoth.

"You want to form a contract with it and make it your Soul Spirit?" At that moment, the elven girl came over and sat down beside Lin Yuan. Before he could speak, she shook her head and said, "You can't. Grandmother said that if you want to absorb a thousand-year Soul Spirit, you need to be at least in the Spirit Connection Realm."

"Oh." Lin Yuan once again returned to that half-lidded look and said lazily, "I already have over 300 spiritual power."

"Ah, over 300? The Spirit Connection Realm?"

The girl blinked and looked at Lin Yuan with a face full of worship, then shook her head and continued, "You still can't, big brother. Although you have over 300 points, this Soul Beast is already infinitely close to ten thousand years..."

"Just tell me, does this Soul Beast fall within the thousand-year category or not?"

"Oh, yes, it does."

"Then isn't that fine?"

"But..."

Lin Yuan did not reply again. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately began absorbing the Soul Spirit.

If anyone else knew about this, they would definitely cry out, Damn it, are nine thousand years and one thousand years the same thing?!

The process of absorbing the Soul Spirit could be considered smooth.

The Starry Sky Behemoth originally wanted to struggle, but the instant it saw the small black sphere in the spiritual sea, it became obedient and did not continue making a fuss.

And the terrifying amplification brought by the Starry Sky Behemoth continuously stimulated the blood within Lin Yuan's body.

Lin Yuan opened his hand, and in an instant, a pitch-black singularity appeared in his palm.

At that moment, surging Soul Power seemed endless as it washed through Lin Yuan's body.

"Urgh."

Lin Yuan furrowed his brows tightly. He felt that before this immense energy, his body actually felt somewhat on the verge of collapse, like a lone boat on the sea that could be overturned at any moment.

The elven girl at the side, who did not dare make a sound, slightly opened her mouth wide, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

"How could a soul warrior who doesn't even have a Soul Spirit absorb such a powerful Soul Spirit? Could Grandmother have been wrong?"

At that moment, in Lin Yuan's spiritual sea, the Starry Sky Behemoth was actually completely absorbed by the black singularity.

In an instant, that singularity gave off a faint glimmer.

The originally faint and indistinct gravity now let Lin Yuan truly sense an indescribable pull!

And the moment Lin Yuan appeared in the spiritual sea, the black singularity seemed to find its target and immediately drilled toward Lin Yuan's heart.

In an instant, Lin Yuan's entire body blazed with light. In this stable sea, the seawater was continuously attracted by Lin Yuan and surged toward his body.

Lin Yuan, within the spiritual sea, slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath of turbid air, and clenched his fist.

Warmth once again surged into his hands and feet, which had grown cold from blood loss, and his flesh began healing faster, rather than merely stopping the injuries from worsening.

He slightly opened his hand, and in an instant, the ocean gathering around him immediately stopped.

"Fall."

Lin Yuan lowered his hand slightly.

Splash!

The attracted seawater instantly surged downward.

In reality, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and a deep purple soul ring rose from beneath his feet.

The purple was so dense it was almost turning black—but this black was different from the black of an ordinary black Soul Ring. It could not even be called black; it was more like nothingness.

That darkness seemed capable of tearing even light into it. After the Soul Ring slowly rotated once, it sank into his body.

A glimmer burst from Lin Yuan's eyes. He opened his hand toward a fallen tree about ten meters long.

In an instant, a black singularity appeared in his palm.

Whoosh!

With a whoosh, the great tree immediately shot toward his hand at high speed.

Just as it flew halfway, Lin Yuan's hand lowered slightly. With a crack, the great tree slammed heavily onto the ground and shattered into pieces.

The young girl beside Lin Yuan looked at him with brilliant colors flashing in her beautiful eyes, her gaze filled with worship.

"This should be my Soul Skill, right?" Lin Yuan clenched his hand and murmured to himself.

He could sense that this Soul Skill's effects went far beyond that. Aside from pulling objects toward him, it seemed able to increase the opponent's Gravity to suppress them, or even cancel out the opponent's Gravity.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. "In that case, why not call it Universal Pull?"

There was no Naruto in this world anyway, so he would just treat it as a tribute.

Lin Yuan stood up and stretched comfortably. He raised his head to look at the night sky and discovered that it was already late at night.

The silver-white halo emitted by that thing that could barely be called a moon pierced through the thick clouds and spilled down, making Lin Yuan feel extremely comfortable.

Just then, Lin Yuan felt something bump against his foot.

Lin Yuan lowered his head and saw that the elven girl had already fallen into a deep sleep. Her face was pale, and her hair was slightly scattered.

Crystal-clear drool slid down from the corner of her lips, while her brows were still tightly furrowed.

Clearly, her nerves had been stretched taut all this time. From the looks of her, she was only about five or six years old.

Only now did Lin Yuan seriously see what she actually looked like.

Her skin was fair, her features gentle and beautiful. She had a pair of long, pointed ears, and her smooth, silky long hair spilled down, milky white at the roots and pink at the ends. Drool hung from her soft, peach-colored lips.

Even though she was very young, there was no doubt that she was a beauty in the making.

This appearance was somewhat familiar. Could she be the one known as Douluo's number one sweet little fool: Yuanen Huihui?

Lin Yuan looked at the utterly defenseless Yuanen Huihui and murmured.

The more he looked, the more alike she seemed.

"Sleeping without the slightest guard up—aren't you afraid some passing Soul Beast might accidentally step on you to death?"

Lin Yuan found a thick layer of leaves and covered her with it.

Yuanen Huihui felt a reassuring weight settle over her. She tightened the leaves around her body and murmured, "Big brother, you're amazing. You could even absorb such a powerful Soul Spirit..."

Lin Yuan had just walked over with his thermos when he heard her sleep-talking.

Lin Yuan: ...

"These dead Soul Beasts..." Lin Yuan looked at the corpses of the dead Soul Beasts scattered all over the ground, his brows tightly furrowed.

Originally, Lin Yuan had wanted to leave just like that, but seeing the corpses of so many Soul Beasts with nowhere to rest, and considering that Yuanen Huihui might be stepped on to death by some other passing Soul Beast after he left...

After thinking it over, Lin Yuan still decided to stay.

"Objectively speaking, this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear possessed by the Starry Sky Behemoth did fly into a rage and attack the other Soul Beasts, but it's also true that I was part of the reason this big bear's destructive power increased. And these Soul Beasts really did help me. I'll bury them."
