My Power Was All in Their Heads

Sensing their shock, Lin Yan secretly reveled in it. Perhaps this was what getting stronger was all about.

Who had never longed to be surrounded by onlookers gasping in astonishment?

Now this was the treatment a protagonist deserved!

Unfortunately, it was not his own strength.

Damn it!

One day, he would show off with genuine strength.

After Lin Yan released all the Soul Rings of his Xuanyuan Sword, he activated his Soul Bone set. His Paralysis Domain instantly spread out, followed by his ninth Soul Skill lighting up.

Xuanyuan Sword, ninth Soul Skill: Sever Heaven and Earth.

The ninth Soul Skill of Lin Yan's Xuanyuan Sword was a domain-sealing skill, originally the divine technique with which the ancient Zhuanxu had severed the passage between heaven and earth, separating gods from humans and cutting off the realms above and below.

A divine power belonging to such a supreme sage of humanity had naturally become a skill of the Xuanyuan Sword.

But after coming to Douluo, it had been weakened to the extreme. Still, it was very powerful as a ninth Soul Skill.

This was a domain skill that could sever all energy, perception, spirit, and space, sealing everything.

Any being within the territory he released would be restrained.

Lin Yan raised the Xuanyuan Sword high, and the golden light of Human Emperor Sword energy soared into the sky.

Once his ninth Soul Skill was released, the domain expanded outward from him, spreading ahead and instantly enveloping every Soul Beast.

An enormous barrier appeared, imprisoning all the Soul Beasts.

The Paralysis Domain combined with the Sealing Domain to form a double-domain restraint. Even Da Ming and Er Ming had no power to resist. Bound by both, they had become lambs awaiting slaughter.

At that moment, only despair remained in their eyes. This was simply too terrifying.

Even human experts at the Limit Douluo level had never put such terrifying pressure on them, yet this mysterious being before them had instantly defeated them merely by releasing a ninth Soul Skill and a mysterious domain.

The gap was no ordinary one. It even robbed them of the will to resist. It was simply too terrifying.

As for the other Soul Beasts, they were nothing but ants.

Lin Yan alone had restrained every Soul Beast.

Unfortunately, he could not inflict any damage on them. Otherwise, selling the two hundred-thousand-year beasts, along with the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and thousand-year Soul Beasts scattered everywhere, would probably have earned him enough for a max-level package today.

He could get a Perfect Flawless-quality child, perhaps even a second one.

The Breeding Shop was not limited to nurturing just one child.

The Breeding Shop's rule was that one child cost the standard package price. If one person wanted to nurture two, the second would cost twice the base price, and the third would cost three times as much. However, only one would provide feedback: only the one with the highest intimacy would return Soul Power to the mother and father.

So, unless only one person remained in the family, the multiple-child package was not recommended.

If you had money burning a hole in your pocket and insisted on getting yourself a few more children, that was possible too.

For Lin Yan, of course, the more the merrier!

He would have children whenever he had the money. He could afford to raise them all anyway. How great would it be to have an entire team of children competing in tournaments someday?

So he had to work hard to earn money.

What a pity about all this gold lying everywhere.

It hurt. It really hurt.

Meanwhile, seeing Lin Yan suppress every Soul Beast with a mere turn of his hand-

This beast tide, which had seemed so dangerous to them, was mere child's play to Lin Yan. Ning Fengzhi and the others' admiration for his strength had reached its peak.

As expected of someone who could open such a heaven-defying shop, he truly was no ordinary person.

Those nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings alone said everything. And the most terrifying thing was that Lin Yan could actually control his damage.

He had precisely suppressed every Soul Beast without inflicting any damage on them.

Logically, with Lin Yan's strength, those low-ranking thousand-year Soul Beasts should have been crushed to death when he suppressed them all at once, yet their reactions were the same as those powerful Soul Beasts.

In other words, Lin Yan had used the same amount of force, without inflicting any damage on them.

Just how terrifying did his control have to be to accomplish that?

It was even more heaven-defying than their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control.

At that moment, in their imaginations, Lin Yan had become like a god.

Although all the spoils here belonged to Lin Yan, they were still quite excited, eager to see how he would use these Soul Beasts and how many Soul Bones these beasts would drop.

"Boss, do you need our help? Little Supreme just helped us get quite a few Soul Bones."

"How many?"

As soon as Ning Fengzhi spoke, curiosity appeared on Lin Yan's face. He was very eager to hear the juicy details.

"A whole three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones."

"How many?

Three Soul Bones? Isn't that an absolute killing?

You earned three Soul Bones in just one day."

"Each ten-thousand-year Soul Bone can fetch an astronomical price at auction. That's ten million straight into your pocket, isn't it?

Rich in one go! You've earned back that twenty-million investment already."

"Yes, Boss. It really is a deal with enormous profits and no losses."

"Then you must have killed a lot of Soul Beasts, right? To trigger a beast tide, you must have killed at least several hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Going by the drop rate, although it's one in ten, the drop rate for Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones is relatively low. Even raising it to one in ten wouldn't count as particularly high."

Lin Yan estimated that there should have been that many, but Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

"We only killed thirty, but they were all Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, so we still triggered this small-scale beast tide!

But what could we do about our bad luck?

We were clearly in the mixed zone, yet we still encountered these two hundred-thousand-year kings of the forest, who gathered Soul Beasts to hunt us down."

"What? Thirty-odd? Just thirty-odd Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts dropped three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones!"

So it really was a one-in-ten drop rate.

"Of course, Boss.

It really is that incredible! Every ten Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts really did drop one Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

Soul Bones were precious precisely because they were so hard to obtain.

"There was once a sect that hunted Soul Beasts like mad to obtain Soul Bones. They killed tens of thousands of Soul Beasts and didn't find so much as a hair.

That's why Soul Bones are so precious. Their drops depend entirely on luck.

You might kill one Soul Beast and get one, or you might kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions without a single drop. It's all down to fate.

But now, Boss, you really have raised that chance, and to one in ten at that."

"Congratulations, then."

"We still have you to thank, Boss."

"If you want to thank me, bring me more business."

Inside, Lin Yan was dying of jealousy.

This drop rate definitely was not normal, and he was not putting himself down.

This one-in-ten chance did not mean one Soul Bone was guaranteed out of every ten. Each Soul Bone had a one-in-ten chance, which meant there was a nine-in-ten chance of getting nothing.

It was not as though your chances got better after you had built up enough pulls in the prize pool. No.

No matter how many you killed, the odds remained the same.

So it was simply that Ning Supreme Empress had incredible luck. Truly worthy of being Perfect Flawless.

She was the first child Lin Yan had created, and also the first of Perfect Flawless quality.

Was she really this heaven-defying?

Incredible. Simply incredible.

This further strengthened his resolve to nurture children of his own.

One child meant a one-in-ten drop rate. What about two children? Ten?

Why couldn't he, the boss, be the first to taste the crab?

Because he had no money.

He had to squeeze the money out as soon as possible,

Then earn money like mad.

Kids, I don't want to live off my elders either-pah! I don't want to live off my children either.

But you're simply too heaven-defying. Just wait for Daddy to nurture you.
