Time passed second by second.
In the blink of an eye, another two and a half incense sticks' worth of time had passed.
Buzz!!
At last, Ye Han finished absorbing the Soul Ring!
A purple second Soul Ring of 7,891 years slowly rose around him!
"Xiao Han, how was it?!"
Ye Guyi was once again the first to rush to his side.
Xiao Wu followed close behind.
"Very good!"
Ye Han rose to his feet and quickly explained:
"My second Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Sky-Rending Claw!"
"The skill instantly increases my attack power by 278%!"
"It unleashes an incomparably terrifying claw strike with extreme tearing and destructive power!"
"It also inflicts bleeding. The weaker the opponent's condition, the more pronounced the effect!"
!!!
After hearing that, shock surfaced on Ye Guyi's stunningly beautiful face.
"Such terrifying amplification and effects could only be provided by an ordinary Soul Ring of at least thirty or forty thousand years!"
Xiao Wu beside her was dumbfounded as well.
"Hehe~"
Ye Han flashed a brilliant smile and added:
"Sister Guyi, my Soul Power also rose by four levels. I'm level twenty-four now!"
Twenty-four was a special day for Lao Da~~~
Ye Guyi rubbed Ye Han's little head.
"Xiao Han, you're amazing~"
The next second, a panel suddenly appeared before Ye Han's eyes:
[Ding—!] [Detected that the host's Soul Power has increased by [ten levels]!] [One activation chance for the [Douluo Bestiary Roulette] is now being issued!] [To obtain the next activation chance, the host must increase by another [six levels]!]
It was finally here!
Ye Han's eyes lit up.
He could barely wait to activate the roulette immediately.
But...
"Sister Guyi, I want to find a Soul Beast to test my Soul Skills!"
He had obtained so many Soul Skills at once. How could he not put them to the test?
"Alright, alright. Whatever you want."
Ye Guyi did not refuse in the slightest.
However, at the very instant her words fell—
Speak of the devil, and the devil arrived!!
Whoosh!!!
A fierce sound of rushing wind suddenly came from afar.
It swept toward them along with a powerful wave of fiery heat.
"Hm?!"
Ye Han, Ye Guyi, and Xiao Wu all looked over warily.
They saw a huge firebird, its entire body engulfed in flames, flying toward them.
"A four-hundred-year Scarlet Flame Phoenix Feather. Among fire-attributed birds, it's considered quite good."
Ye Guyi recognized it at a glance and explained.
"It came at just the right time!"
Ye Han's eyes abruptly brightened.
"Perfect for testing how strong my new Soul Skill is!"
Ye Guyi did not object, remaining vigilant as she guarded him.
Ye Han immediately activated his first Martial Soul.
Roar!!!
The Golden Dragon burst out from his body, and two purple Soul Rings rose around him.
"Second Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Sky-Rending Claw!!!"
The Soul Ring lit up instantly, and the Golden Dragon's right claw glowed and expanded.
Ye Han controlled the Golden Dragon and swung its claw through the air at the approaching Scarlet Flame Phoenix Feather.
Whoosh!!
In the next instant, a four-clawed blade of force shot forth.
With a shriek that tore through the air, it flew straight toward the Scarlet Flame Phoenix Feather.
It was so fast that the Scarlet Flame Phoenix Feather had no time to react before crashing into it.
"Roar... Aaargh!!!"
After suffering the attack, the Scarlet Flame Phoenix Feather immediately lost control and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"First Soul Skill..."
Ye Han intended to test another Soul Skill and deal some additional damage.
But when the dust settled, the Soul Beast had already stopped moving.
That earlier Soul Skill had left claw marks on its chest that cut deep to the bone!
"That's it?"
Ye Han froze as he looked at the Soul Beast he had killed in a single strike.
Come on, even if his Soul Skill was strong—
this was still a four-hundred-year Soul Beast. It shouldn't have been this fragile, right?
"Wow! Master, you're incredible!!"
Xiao Wu jumped up at once.
Seeing how powerful her master was, she temporarily forgot to pity the Soul Beast.
Scarlet Flame Phoenix Feather: My life is a life too!!!
"Hm?!"
Ye Guyi also felt that something was off.
She immediately flashed forward to inspect it, then quickly understood.
"Xiao Han, this Soul Beast has several other cutting wounds on its body. It must have just gone through a battle and been seriously injured."
"Your strike just happened to finish it off."
Hearing that, Ye Han could not help feeling a little deflated.
He had thought he killed it with his own skill. Was he still too useless?!
"But don't be discouraged."
Ye Guyi rubbed his head and said earnestly:
"The force of your attack cut deep to the bone. Even if it hadn't died, it would have been heavily injured. That's already very impressive!"
Only then did Ye Han feel better.
Perhaps her comfort and caress had been perfectly timed.
Ye Han's little head instinctively nuzzled into Ye Guyi's palm.
"Good boy~"
Ye Guyi merely thought he was acting cute because he was young, her eyes filled with affection.
After all, he was just a little kid. What bad intentions could he possibly have?
However, the very next second—
"Get lost! Don't touch my Soul Beast!"
A childish, furious shout exploded from nearby.
Ye Han, Ye Guyi, and the others frowned and looked over.
They saw two figures racing toward them, one after the other.
In front was a fat, big-eared boy in red, his face full of hostility as he roared.
Behind him followed a scruffy middle-aged man wearing glasses.
Shrek Academy!
Ma Hongjun and Flender!
Ye Han recognized them immediately.
Judging by the timeline, Ma Hongjun should have been hunting for his first Soul Ring.
The four-hundred-year Scarlet Flame Phoenix Feather Flender had hunted for him was probably this very one.
To run into them here and even kill their Soul Beast—it really was a narrow road for enemies!
"Ahhh! My Soul Beast!"
By now, Ma Hongjun had rushed over.
When he saw that the Soul Beast was completely dead, he instantly exploded.
"It was you! You actually killed my Soul Beast!"
As he spoke, he abruptly turned toward Flender behind him and angrily said:
"Dean! Look! My first Soul Ring was killed by them!"
Seeing this, Flender flew into a rage.
"Which one of you did it? Get out here on your own!"
But when he clearly saw the people before him, he immediately froze.
What?!
It was that little brat, Ye Han, whose Golden Saint Dragon he had awakened!
And that woman with the Angel Martial Soul who had suddenly appeared and taken the brat away!
How could it be such a coincidence that he ran into them here?!!
Ma Hongjun had yet to realize that something was wrong and continued furiously:
"Let me tell you, my dean is a Soul Saint!!"
"If you don't want to die, apologize to me and compensate me with an even better Soul Beast!!"
But as he continued speaking...
He gradually got a clear look at Ye Guyi's peerless beauty.
Then he noticed the cute, petite Xiao Wu beside her.
Gulp!!
Ma Hongjun instinctively swallowed. Evil Fire surged beneath his abdomen, and wicked thoughts rose in his heart.
"Oh, oh, oh! I didn't notice just now. So there's a peerless beauty and a cute little babe here!!"
"I've changed my mind. Compensating me with a Soul Beast isn't enough. I want you both to be my women too!!"
"Using you to vent my Evil Fire would definitely send me straight to heaven!!!"
The moment those words fell—
Ye Han's expression instantly darkened!
Ye Guyi's gaze also turned sharp as blades!
"You disgusting fatty, are you looking to die?!"
But Xiao Wu was the first to explode, stepping forward and angrily rebuking him.
As spirited and willful as she was, how could she tolerate such filthy provocation!
"Oh! This little beauty's got quite the temper! Let me teach you a lesson..."
Ma Hongjun rolled up his sleeves, looking lecherous as though he were about to force himself on her.
"Stop!!"
Flender hurriedly shouted, grabbing him and pulling him back.
"Dean, what are you doing... Ah!!"
Ma Hongjun had just begun to speak when Flender shot him a vicious glare.
It was as though he were warning him that even he could not afford to provoke these people!
Seeing that, Ma Hongjun finally stopped talking, though his eyes still brimmed with unwillingness.
"My apologies. We'll consider ourselves unlucky over this Soul Beast. We'll be leaving now."
Flender reluctantly gave Ye Guyi a bow, then turned to leave.
He could not afford to provoke people from Spirit Hall, but he would remember today's theft of their Soul Beast!
One day, he would settle both old and new scores together!!!
"Hmph! At least you know what's good for you!!"
Xiao Wu snorted angrily.
Ye Guyi had not wanted to argue with them in the first place.
After all, they had killed their Soul Beast, so she let it go.
"Stop right there!!"
Ye Han suddenly glared at him and shouted in a deep voice!
Ma Hongjun had just spewed such filthy words at Sister Bone Robe!!
If he could endure that, he wasn't a man!
Today, he wouldn't stop until blood was spilled!!
"Did I say you could leave?!!"
Before you continue
