Instantly Defeating Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng, Plotting for the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
"Together?!" The instant Ye Han finished speaking, everyone froze in shock.
A moment later, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan abruptly flared with anger.
"What a sharp-tongued brat. Your arrogance really knows no bounds!"
"When we beat you into the dirt, don't go crying to your big sister to stand up for you!"
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan roared through gritted teeth, then stepped forward and unleashed their Martial Souls.
"Dugu Yan, Martial Soul: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, level twenty-nine, two-ring Control-Type Battle Spirit Master!"
"Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, level thirty, two-ring Power Attack System Battle Soul Master!"
A serpent and a dragon Martial Soul abruptly appeared, each accompanied by two yellow hundred-year Soul Rings.
Ye Han remained unhurried and composed, his hands clasped behind his back, as though he thought nothing of them.
"Xiao Han."
Ling Yuan wanted to stop him, but seeing the little fellow's confident expression, she said nothing more.
Dugu Bo had also intended to intervene, fearing that injuring the boy would invite Ling Yuan's retaliation.
But when he saw that Ling Yuan remained unmoved, he no longer intervened. This would also be a good opportunity to see what the boy could do.
He had already begun wondering just who this boy was and why a Spirit Hall elder protected him so closely.
And he even intended to absorb a two-thousand-year Soul Beast's Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring? Judging by the elder's expression, it did not seem to be a lie!
Rumor had it that terrifying light and dark dragons had appeared above Spirit City yesterday. Perhaps this boy had been responsible?
"What? Have we scared you senseless? Why haven't you unleashed your Martial Soul yet?!"
"Oh, wait, how old does he look? He must have only just awakened his Martial Soul, right?"
"He doesn't even have a Soul Ring yet. What good would unleashing his Martial Soul do? Hahahaha!"
Seeing no response from Ye Han, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng curled their lips and began mocking him.
Ye Han lightly crooked his little hand at them and smiled disdainfully.
"Why would I need my Martial Soul to deal with two ants like you? Begin!"
"How arrogant!!!"
Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng instantly flew into another rage.
After exchanging a glance, they shouted in unison and charged together.
Their figures flashed before Ye Han like lightning, each striking at him with a palm.
Ling Yuan and Dugu Bo watched the scene unfold.
Ling Yuan's heart tightened, while disdain appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
After all that arrogance, he had thought the boy must be quite formidable!
It turned out he was nothing but a bluffing, capering clown!
Immediately afterward, both prepared to intervene to keep Ye Han from being killed.
But just as their bodies began to move, Ye Han's little mouth moved.
"Head Soul Bone skill-Dragon Descends upon the World!"
The instant his words fell, golden light shone in Ye Han's eyes.
Then an enormous Light Subdragon abruptly appeared behind him.
Terrifying draconic might radiated from its body, sweeping in every direction.
"A Soul Bone!!!"
Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng were stunned, feeling an irresistible pressure crash toward them.
Their bodies actually began trembling involuntarily, and the radiance of their Martial Souls rapidly dimmed.
"This is... the presence of a ninety-thousand-year Light Subdragon Soul Bone?!"
Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. To possess such a terrifying treasure at this age!
Ling Yuan, meanwhile, breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost forgotten that the little fellow had a Soul Bone.
While everyone stood in shock, Ye Han turned his little hand toward Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng.
The enormous Light Subdragon behind him abruptly opened its vast maw and unleashed a terrifying dragon's roar.
"Roar-!"
The dragon's roar thundered as it slammed ferociously toward Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng.
Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng reacted in time, immediately crossing their arms in front of themselves.
Unfortunately, this was a mental attack. It ignored their defenses entirely and struck them both in an instant.
"Ah... ah!!"
Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng suffered a heavy mental blow. Their heads snapped backward, and they instantly lost consciousness. Then they flew backward like kites with severed strings, crashing heavily to the ground and passing out on the spot.
"This!!!"
Dugu Bo's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints, and he stood dumbfounded.
"Wow!"
Ling Yuan, however, unexpectedly stepped forward and scooped Ye Han up, praising him.
"My Xiao Han really is amazing. You instantly defeated two Two-Ring Soul Grandmasters with a single strike!"
Looking at Yu Tianheng sprawled unconscious on the ground like a dead dog, Ye Han feigned surprise.
"It was just luck. I never thought they'd be so weak that they couldn't even withstand one move from me~"
Seeing that Ye Han had said this deliberately, Ling Yuan turned toward Dugu Bo and mocked him.
"Oh my, Senior Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, are you thoroughly convinced now?"
Dugu Bo came to his senses at her words. The contempt in his eyes was gone as he spoke respectfully.
"I am thoroughly convinced. Might this elder tell me just who this little fellow is?"
"Rumor has it that light and dark dragons caused a tremendous disturbance above Spirit Hall yesterday. Was this little fellow responsible?!"
Ling Yuan smiled without answering.
After all, Spirit Hall had yet to announce Ye Han's identity. How could she reveal it?
Seeing that Ling Yuan was unwilling to speak, Dugu Bo changed the subject and continued respectfully.
"I hope this elder and this young friend won't take today's incident to heart. It was all because my juniors didn't know better."
The boy's future prospects were limitless. If he held a grudge, it would do neither Dugu Bo nor his granddaughter any good.
After saying this, he cast Ye Han a placating look, then prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
At that moment, Ye Han suddenly spoke.
Since he had encountered Dugu Bo today, he had to make good use of the opportunity. It was the perfect chance to discuss the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After all, it was best to obtain the immortal herbs through cunning. If he tried to seize them by force, given Dugu Bo's eccentric temperament, he might destroy himself along with all the immortal herbs, jade and stone burning together.
Hearing the call to stop, Dugu Bo immediately halted and asked respectfully, worry rising within him.
"Young friend, is there anything else?"
Ling Yuan also froze for a moment. Could Xiao Han be holding a grudge?
Ye Han hopped out of Ling Yuan's arms and smiled.
"Senior Poison Douluo, I'd like to speak with you privately."
Both Dugu Bo and Ling Yuan were astonished by his words.
Without waiting for either to react, Ye Han glanced at Ling Yuan, then walked straight up to Dugu Bo.
"What guidance might you have for me, young friend?"
Dugu Bo did not dare offend this little fellow backed by Spirit Hall, and his manner was very humble.
"I wouldn't presume to offer guidance. It's just..."
Ye Han shook his head and went straight to the point, smiling as he spoke quietly.
"There are just a few matters concerning the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that I'd like to discuss with you."
But the moment he said this, Dugu Bo's heart jolted, and killing intent abruptly arose within him.
Ye Han remained unhurried, speaking slowly and quietly.
"Senior Poison Douluo, if the poison in your body isn't dealt with soon, I'm afraid you won't have long to live. And I know how to cure it."
At these words, towering waves of shock surged through Dugu Bo's heart once more.
Just who was this boy? Not only did he know about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he even knew Dugu Bo was poisoned!
After the shock passed, hope rose in Dugu Bo's heart. He also knew full well that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"How do you know about this? Can you really do it? What are your terms?!"
Ye Han smiled faintly and said,
"Don't concern yourself with how I know. Since I know, knowing means I can do it."
"My terms are simple. I want all the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in exchange. Of course, you can choose to refuse."
"But I imagine you wouldn't want your granddaughter to suffer the same pain you do from this poison in the future, and... die from it, would you?"
Hearing such a lion's demand, Dugu Bo instinctively wanted to refuse.
But when he heard his granddaughter mentioned, his heart gave a sudden jolt, and he found himself caught in a dilemma.
Seeing that he still would not agree, Ye Han immediately lost patience and threatened him.
"You have no room to choose. I'm doing this to make friends with you, too."
"If I were only after your immortal herbs, couldn't I simply send someone after your granddaughter?"
Hearing the threat, Dugu Bo's killing intent rose again, but his misgivings kept him from acting.
Besides, there was some truth to what the other party said. His granddaughter was indeed his vulnerable spot.
