History
Acquisition and Fusion
Lin Yan defeated the approximately thirteen-thousand-year-old Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in Sunset Forest and absorbed its Soul Ring before fusing with its External Soul Bone. Dugu Bo stood guard throughout the dangerous process 73 74 75 76.
The fusion subjected Lin Yan to extreme pain. His tempered physique, Supreme Purity Breathing Technique, and Withering and Flourishing Intent helped him withstand the strain and accept the Sword Grass’s source sword intent. Afterward, he manifested the nine leaves and tested their cutting power on a nearby rock 76.
Together with his ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring, new Soul Skill, and rank-thirty-eight Soul Power, the wings contributed to his assessment that he could challenge or even defeat ordinary Soul Kings 76.
Battle Against the Fierce God Team
When the Fierce God Team threatened Ye Lingling, Lin Yan revealed the Nine-Leaf Sword Wings before his teammates and the arena audience. He concealed the detached wings within torrents of seven-colored, sword-shaped Blue Silver Grass; his combined assault killed all seven opponents in fewer than five breaths 90.
Ye Feng’s Test
During Ye Feng’s test of his ability to protect Ye Lingling, Lin Yan used the wings to take flight and counterattack the Soul Saint. A clash with Ye Feng’s fifth Soul Skill drove him backward and left the wings trembling, demonstrating that their power did not eliminate the difference in cultivation 129.
Lin Yan then restrained Ye Feng with domain-supported Blue Silver Grass and launched eight detached swords of light. The combined attack approached an ordinary peak Soul King’s full-strength strike. Ye Feng activated his Martial Soul Avatar rather than risk injuring Lin Yan through a forceful counter, and approved of him when the incense-stick time limit expired 129.
