"Ultimate light..." Ye Feng's expression froze, but a moment later, he seized Ye Qing's shoulders in wild delight.

"Really, my dear grandson? Your attribute really evolved into ultimate light?!"

Faced with Ye Feng's eagerness, Ye Qing simply raised his right hand, palm up and fingers loosely curled. With his excellent Soul Power Control, he condensed a tiny ball of light.

The ball brimmed with his ultimate light soul power.

Ye Feng's lips trembled as he reached out a finger to gently touch the ball of light condensed in Ye Qing's hand. The instant his finger met that ultimate light soul power, his darkness-attribute soul power boiled like an ice cube tossed into a pan of scalding oil, then quickly dissolved.

Light and darkness gave rise to and countered each other.

In terms of total soul power, even a hundred Ye Qings put together would fall far short of Ye Feng, who was already a Titled Douluo and had condensed a soul core. But in terms of attribute strength, Ye Feng's darkness soul power was instantly reduced to dust by Ye Qing's ultimate light.

To wear away the ball of soul power in Ye Qing's hand, Ye Feng had to expend a full five times as much soul power as Ye Qing had before he completely neutralized its light attribute.

"Ultimate light! It really is ultimate light!" This was attribute suppression! Although, because the gap between Ye Qing's and Ye Feng's soul power was so enormous, and Ye Feng was his grandfather, already close to him...

The effects of Light of the Holy Hall hardly manifested.

But reality soon showed Ye Qing that he had become Shrek's succubus.

While Ye Feng was still beside himself with excitement, a timid, moon-white Light Spirit, different from the earlier one, emerged from a crack in the rocks and gazed at Ye Qing with pale blue eyes.

Her appearance naturally did not escape Ye Feng's notice. Ye Qing followed his gaze and spotted the moon-white Light Spirit as well.

"Is this a female Light Spirit?" Ye Qing asked curiously.

"Yes. Male Light Spirits are golden or orange-yellow, while females are moon-white or jade-colored." Ye Feng nodded.

Realizing she had been spotted, the female Light Spirit immediately ducked back into the crack, only to emerge again despite herself.

Ye Qing's Light of the Holy Hall talent had little effect on Ye Feng, but its influence on this Light Spirit was immense. Both possessed the light attribute, yet Ye Qing's was countless times purer than hers. Having absorbed a Light Spirit's Soul Ring and Soul Bone, he had long since acquired their aura as well.

Combined with the influencing effect of Light of the Holy Hall, to put it plainly, this female Light Spirit had fallen in love with Ye Qing at first sight.

And she was in so deep she could not pull herself free.

She feared Ye Feng's strength, yet could not suppress her intense affection for Ye Qing. The aura he exuded kept drawing her in, leaving her utterly unable to resist.

"Uh..." Ye Qing smacked his lips and suggested to Ye Feng, "Grandpa, why don't you step back a little and see what happens?"

Ye Feng seemed to have guessed something as well and vanished from the spot in a flash. No sooner had he disappeared than the Light Spirit darted out of the crack, flew over to Ye Qing, and circled him.

Her joy and excitement were impossible to hide. He could even feel her deep attachment to him.

"Huh?" Ye Qing was utterly bewildered.

He reached out, wanting to try touching her, only for the Light Spirit to turn into a streak of light and merge into his hand.

His right hand, to be precise.

Was it the Light-Breaking Demon?

After the Light Spirit entered his hand, the Light-Breaking Soul Bone, which had already merged into Ye Qing's body, seemed to establish a connection with another consciousness.

"...Here... new home..." A hazy consciousness entered his mind. Only then did Ye Qing understand that this Light Spirit really had taken a fancy to him-and had even made a home inside his Light-Breaking Soul Bone.

At the same time, another strange sensation emerged.

After the Light Spirit took up residence inside it, the Light-Breaking Soul Bone actually gave Ye Qing the uncanny feeling that it was gradually growing stronger, just like his Wings of Light external soul bone.

In exchange, whenever his soul power circulated through his right arm, a portion of the power flowing into it was missing when it flowed back out.

Clearly, the Light-Breaking Demon and the Light Spirit had absorbed that portion.

After she absorbed his soul power, the effects of Light of the Holy Hall fully manifested. His mental connection with that hazy consciousness also grew clearer. Ye Qing even felt that he could now get this Light Spirit to do whatever he told her.

"Come out." Following that connection, Ye Qing tried calling to the Light Spirit hiding inside his Soul Bone.

The moment he called, the Light Spirit immediately emerged and floated obediently above his palm.

With her departure, the sensation of the Light-Breaking Soul Bone growing stronger also stopped. Upon discovering this, Ye Qing's gaze immediately grew eager as he looked at the Light Spirit.

She could actually help increase the age of his Right Arm Soul Bone, which had originally been impossible to improve. Such a thing actually existed!

What was more, he only needed to expend a little soul power to nurture her as well. Given how close she was to him, she could even become his closest companion in the future.

As long as he treated her kindly and did not abuse or torment her, she would never betray him or stab him in the back. She would always stand by his side!

Seeing that Ye Qing was not moving, the Light Spirit pressed herself against his palm to show her affection. Though she had no physical body, she gave Ye Qing the smooth, soft sensation of stroking silk. She felt wonderful to the touch.

"All right, go back." Feeling the little one's affection for him, Ye Qing's voice softened despite himself.

The way this trust had formed was truly extraordinary.

But Ye Qing did not want to delve too deeply into it. Knowing she could be his most trusted companion was enough.

The Light Spirit flew around Ye Qing once more before returning to his Soul Bone.

In the distance, Ye Feng watched Ye Qing interact with the Light Spirit in a daze. He felt that all the shocks of his lifetime combined could not compare to today. First, Ye Qing had successfully evolved to ultimate light, and now a Light Spirit had willingly followed him.

Though he did not know that this Light Spirit could also increase the age of Ye Qing's Soul Bone, getting a soul beast to follow him was already shocking enough.

Still, there was something Ye Feng felt he needed to remind his grandson about.

"This Light Spirit is probably between six hundred and seven hundred years old," Ye Feng said as he returned to Ye Qing's side.

Six or seven hundred years?

Ye Qing rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

My rank-twenty-five cultivation would roughly correspond to a soul beast of that age, so that must be part of why she took a fancy to me, right?
