It's just that the Ice Dragon King's remnant soul is too weak now, and the quality of the Divine Power he cultivates is average and not particularly abundant, which is why Jun Yi's Fifth Soul Ring has not completely transformed into gold.
However, the improvement that Divine Power brought to Jun Yi was too great. Not only did his physique and Divine Power increase significantly again, but now each of his five Soul Ring possessed a Divine Skill of the Ice Dragon King. Although it was only a one-time use skill, it could kill any Soul Master without Divine Power protecting them. In other words, Jun Yi now had five chances to save his life, and he could go out alone in the future without fear of being hunted down by others.
"Bite------"
The piercing ringing in his ears returned, causing Jun Yi's head to throb. He slowly got up from the sofa, raised his hand, and prepared to rub his temples to relieve his headache.
Before he could even touch it, a pair of gentle, slender hands were already placed on either side of Jun Yi's forehead, and began to massage it lightly.
"My headache is starting again?"
Dugu Yan's voice carried a hint of worry. Ever since their group returned from Holy Soul Village, Jun Yi had been suffering from headaches. At first, Dugu Yan thought Jun Yi was faking it, but later she noticed that Jun Yi's expression was becoming more and more painful, and she realized that there was indeed something wrong with his body.
They had also asked Ye Lingling to treat Jun Yi, but the Nine Heart Begonia treatment did not alleviate Jun Yi's pain at all. Ye Lingling also examined Jun Yi's body and said that he was perfectly normal and had no illness whatsoever.
However, Jun Yi's headaches were getting worse, which worried Dugu Yan greatly, but she was also at a loss.
She gently rubbed Jun Yi's forehead as she sat down on the sofa and asked Jun Yi, "Would you like to lie down for a bit?"
Jun Yi nodded slightly, while Dugu Yan gently placed Jun Yi's head on her lap, her hands continuing their movements.
Are you feeling better?
"Yes, with Sister Yanyan's help, I feel much more comfortable." Jun Yi replied, but his brows remained furrowed, and he occasionally gritted his teeth.
"What's wrong with your head? Is it because of Tang Hao's previous restriction?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled.
"No, Tang Hao doesn't have that ability. He's currently imprisoned in the dungeon of the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall Branch, so his restrictions are completely ineffective against me."
Jun Yi responded.
"What? Tang Hao has been captured by the Spirit Hall???"
Upon hearing this shocking news, Dugu Yan's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
"Yes, he was the one who tried to kill me before, so I joined forces with the Spirit Hall and outmaneuvered him," Jun Yi replied slowly.
Dugu Yan was even more puzzled, "Why would he be chasing you?"
"Did you know about the Shrek Academy provoking us when I returned to the academy a while ago?"
"I know, I heard it from Lingling. When Tang San Soul Fighting, he won four matches in a row and defeated Osler and the others. If you hadn't appeared in time, our academy would have made a fool of itself," Dugu Yan recalled.
Jun Yi continued, "It was that time that I severely injured Tang San, which is why Tang Hao targeted me."
Upon hearing Jun Yi's explanation, Dugu Yan instantly understood everything.
Seeing Dugu Yan's Satori realization, Jun Yi smiled and continued, "Just as you thought, Sister Yanyan, Tang San is Tang Hao's son. I had some friction with Tang San a long time ago. In addition, I had just escaped death and was filled with resentment, so I beat Tang San to the point of barely surviving. If it weren't for Senior Sister Lingling's treatment, Tang San would probably be dead."
"I see. I didn't expect Tang San's background to be so unusual. No wonder he always had a strange Pride about him, as if he looked down on everyone," Dugu Yan said slowly.
"Maybe." Jun Yi closed his eyes again, but at that moment, the tinnitus he had been hearing changed and turned into a "hissing and crackling" sound, similar to the sound of a cassette tape jamming.
As if realizing something, Jun Yi immediately released all his Divine Power, listening intently to see if there was anything else hidden in the "hissing" sound.
He had previously suspected that there was only one voice in the world that only Jun Yi could hear, and that no one else, whether god or Soul Beast, could perceive it.
That was the system's voice.
Today, the tinnitus sound turned into the sound of a tape jamming, which made Jun Yi completely certain that the sound came from the system that had forcibly activated the transfer function because of him, causing it to crash and disappear.
Since no cassette tapes appeared in the Douluo Continent, and he had only heard this sound before, Jun Yi quickly used his Divine Power to investigate and see if he could hear any other different sounds.
But he heard nothing at all. Soon the noise disappeared, replaced by a ringing in Jun Yi ears.
"Could I have guessed wrong? No, this is definitely the system's voice, but I haven't figured out what it's trying to tell me or how to restore it."
Jun Yi confirmed to himself that although the piercing tinnitus was still there, Jun Yi spirits were undoubtedly much lifted. Since he could hear it, it meant that he still had hope of recovering.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to set off. The tinnitus that Jun Yi Jun Yi grew louder and louder, affecting his movements. He could no longer walk on his own and could only struggle to get into the carriage with the help of Dugu Yan. Jun Yi's abnormality was naturally noticed by others. Qin Ming, as the teacher in charge of the team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, naturally wanted to find out what was going on, but Jun Yi simply replied that he was fine, just hadn't rested well, and would be fine after sleeping a little longer.
But when Qin Ming saw Jun Yi's pale lips and pale face, although he was very worried about his health, he still chose to respect Jun Yi's opinion, gave him some instructions, and then stopped asking about the matter.
Inside the carriage, Dugu Yan grew increasingly worried about Jun Yi. After all, her beloved's health was deteriorating, yet they couldn't find the cause. This pained Dugu Yan deeply, but there was nothing she could do but silently stay by his side.
To ensure the participating team members could rest better, the Heaven Dou Empire specially commissioned sixteen luxurious giant carriages for them to ride and rest. Because of Prince Jun Yi's status, the Heaven Dou Empire specially assigned a separate carriage to Jun Yi and Dugu Yan, so that Dugu Yan could take good care of him.
And so, a group of over a thousand people set off in a grand procession, their destination the sacred place in the hearts of all Soul Master: Spirit City, the Papal Palace...
