Extracting Rewards, Explosive Growth in Strength!

On the third day, Lin Ye, who had already arrived in Shrek City, stood on the second-floor terrace, looking down at the sprawling courtyard below.

There were rockery landscapes made from stacked stones, a pond fed by flowing water, and rare flowers and exotic plants spread throughout the grounds. Even in Shrek City, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, this detached residence counted as top-tier accommodations.

This was a Haotian Sect property, specifically meant for receiving important figures. But with Wang Dong'er here, no important figure outranked their young mistress.

Lin Ye could not help clicking his tongue inwardly.

Wang Dong'er had such a great place to stay in the original story. Why had it never been mentioned?

Oh, right, he remembered. In the original story, she had practically been welded to Huo Yuhao. Wherever Huo Yuhao went, she went too. They even had to squeeze into the same dorm room, so naturally, she had no use for this private residence.

Lin Ye withdrew his gaze and turned to head downstairs, only to run into Wang Dong'er as she emerged from her room.

Today, Wang Dong'er wore a light-blue fitted outfit. Her pinkish-blue hair was tied into a high ponytail, her skin was fair as snow, and her delicate features looked as though they had stepped out of a painting. Even without makeup, her breathtaking beauty could not be concealed.

When she saw Lin Ye coming down, she raised her eyes slightly and asked in her usual haughty tone, "Awake? Want to get something to eat?"

"No."

Lin Ye waved a hand. "I'm going out to take a look around Shrek City and get familiar with the area."

Wang Donger's beautiful peach-blossom eyes instantly narrowed as she scrutinized him up and down twice.

Take a look around the city? Like hell she believed that.

There were still several days before the new students started school. Going out now, was he not just looking for an excuse to run to the Star Dou Forest?

She snorted inwardly, but her face remained calm as she merely replied, "Oh. Then be careful."

Lin Ye did not think much of it. He waved before pushing the door open and leaving.

The moment he left, Wang Dong'er silently followed after him. Her footsteps were as light as falling leaves. She wanted to see just what this guy was up to.

Yet to her surprise, Lin Ye did not head toward the city gates at all. Instead, after winding through several streets, he entered the busiest avenue in Shrek City and walked straight into the most luxurious hotel in town.

Wang Dong'er hid at the street corner, staring blankly at the hotel entrance.

?

Wasn't he going to the Star Dou Forest? What was he doing in a hotel?

She hesitated there for quite a while, but in the end, she chose not to follow him inside.

Besides, this guy had a habit of writing a diary. He could run, but could his diary run too? As long as he wrote in it, she could find out what he was doing anytime, anywhere. What was there to worry about?

Wang Dong'er snorted inwardly, turned around, and returned to the residence, where she found a room to meditate and cultivate in.

On the hotel's top floor, Lin Ye had already booked a top-tier suite with its own private cultivation room.

He sent away the hotel attendant, shut the cultivation room's heavy stone door, and set up several layers of restrictions to isolate Soul Power fluctuations. Only then did he let out a breath.

It was not that he did not trust Wang Dong'er. It was simply better to be cautious when it came to breakthroughs.

Lin Ye sat cross-legged and slowly began circulating the Everlasting Spring Art.

A warm, gentle current flowed through his meridians. Wherever it passed, the minute impurities lingering in his body were gradually swept out.

Lin Ye's entire aura became increasingly gentle and pure, while his handsome features gained an even more otherworldly air.

Once the Everlasting Spring Art completed a full cycle, Lin Ye felt thoroughly refreshed. Even the circulation speed of his Soul Power had nearly doubled.

With a wave of his hand, a dark-gold gleam flashed from his Storage Soul Guidance Device. A jet-black right arm bone radiating a violent aura landed on the stone platform before him. It was the Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape Right Arm Bone.

A terrifying pressure emanated from the Soul Bone. Even lying there quietly, it made the surrounding air feel several times thicker.

Lin Ye did not rush to absorb it. Instead, he closed his eyes, sank his consciousness into his mind, and summoned the Diary System.

"Extract the diary rewards from the previous two days."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Almost instantly, three streams of incomparably pure Soul Power appeared within his body out of nowhere.

His Soul Power, which had been stuck at the peak of Rank 29, began soaring crazily as if strapped to a rocket.

Rank 30!

Lin Ye felt his entire body tremble. A phantom of a long staff, black as obsidian and etched with flowing gold patterns, slowly emerged over his left palm: his First Martial Soul, the Dark Gold Staff.

Over his right palm, a golden dragon claw phantom carrying tyrannical, unmatched dragon might flashed past. It vanished so quickly that one might have mistaken it for an illusion. It was his Second Martial Soul, the Golden Dragon King.

The instant the two Martial Soul phantoms appeared, two inky-black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath his feet and began revolving around his body.

Then, the third Soul Ring condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It was blood-red, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring carrying terrifying pressure!

Black, black, red!

Three Soul Rings slowly revolved around the twelve-year-old boy. That utterly outrageous Soul Ring configuration was enough to make every Soul Master across the Douluo Continent drop their jaws!

His Soul Power was still rising!

Rank 31!

Rank 32!

Only after stabilizing firmly at Rank 32 Soul Elder did the torrent of Soul Power finally begin to subside.

Lin Ye opened his eyes, delight flashing through them. Without pausing, he silently said again, "Extract the remaining reward of three ranks of Soul Power."

Another, even purer surge of Soul Power flooded into his body!

This time, there was not even a bottleneck. His Soul Power advanced at an unstoppable pace!

Rank 33!

Rank 34!

Rank 35!

It only came to a complete stop at the peak of Rank 35.

Lin Ye slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and rose to his feet. Feeling the terrifying power within him, as though he could shatter a mountain with one punch, he could not stop a broad grin from spreading across his face.

Awesome!

This was incredible!

In just two days, he had shot straight from Rank 29 to Rank 35. With this cultivation speed, forget people of his generation—even those Titled Douluo and deities could not have been this absurd in their youth, right?

Did they even understand the value of a God-Level Martial Soul?

At his current strength, forget a Rank 60 Soul Emperor. Even against a Rank 70 Soul Saint, he dared to give it a try!

Lin Ye's gaze fell upon the Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape Right Arm Bone on the stone platform, anticipation flashing in his eyes.

His Soul Power had been raised. Now it was this treasure's turn.

He sat cross-legged again, picked up the right arm bone, and pressed it against his own right arm. Circulating the Soul Power within him, he slowly guided the Soul Bone into his body.

The process of fusing with a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone was far more dangerous than absorbing a Soul Ring. A single misstep could result in backlash from the lingering consciousness of the Soul Beast within the bone. At best, one would be severely injured; at worst, one would become an idiot on the spot.

But for Lin Ye, this was nothing at all.

The source power of the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul lay within his body. It was a direct inheritance from the Dragon God, the most supreme Beast God power on the Douluo Continent. Before the Golden Dragon King's dragon might, the lingering consciousness of the Titan Giant Ape did not even have the right to resist. The instant it emerged, it was crushed into nothingness.

On top of that, the Everlasting Spring Art continuously repaired the meridians battered by the Soul Bone's power, making the entire absorption process absurdly smooth.

Several hours later.

The stone door to the cultivation room slowly opened, and Lin Ye walked out. The light in his eyes was astonishingly bright.

Feeling the power within his body surge once more, Lin Ye could not suppress the smile on his face at all.
