• The mine shook violently, and a roar echoed through it.

• Hui Ye searched the Earthquake Beast for a Soul Bone, found none, and chose to rest while planning to ask Electrolux for life energy.

Hui Ye harvested a vast cache of Soul Tool ore while Electrolux absorbed life energy from him, and the two discussed Electrolux’s chances of recovery. After Hui Ye revealed plans to target the Zhou Clan and claimed he was invincible below god level, Electrolux demonstrated how easily a powerful opponent could immobilize him.

• Hui Ye let Electrolux draw life energy from his Second Soul Ring, though the amount was limited by its capacity.
