Chapter 82: Ye Lingling: I've Been Waiting for You
Night fell, and the cold moonlight washed over the earth.
West of Heaven Dou City, the base of the Wolf Head Soul Hunting Group.
Though called a base, it was merely a courtyard of some scale.
The courtyard was very quiet; aside from a few handymen on night patrol, most formal members of the Soul Hunting Group were in their rooms to Cultivate.
It was as peaceful as any other day.
No one remembered the unlucky wretch they had humiliated today.
Even less did anyone know that the unlucky wretch had already crawled back from Hell to seek revenge on them.
A tall figure slowly approached from the street.
His pace wasn't fast, each step landing firmly, the sound of soles hitting the ground exceptionally clear in the silent night.
The moonlight cast a long shadow behind him, stretching all the way to the street corner.
He stopped at the entrance of the base.
"Who's there?"
A patrolling handyman heard the movement and subconsciously shouted.
Kains ignored him, silently digesting the things in his mind.
He had indeed gained power, and it wasn't the traditional Soul Master system, but rather a power called Blood Demon Art.
This power was similar to a Soul skills but also somewhat different; its strength depended entirely on the development of the Blood Demon Art.
If developed properly, it was not inferior to a Soul skills.
At the same time, a Breathing Technique called "Stone Breathing" had appeared in his mind, along with its matching Sword Forms.
This was given by Lin Yang.
His meaning was clear: unless absolutely necessary, try to use Blood Demon Art as little as possible.
Kains didn't ask why; he only needed to follow instructions.
But tonight...
Kains slowly raised his head, looking at the Wolf Head Soul Hunting Group before him, a trace of cruelty appearing on his face.
He only wanted to take his revenge heartily!
His thick arms slammed onto the ground; the moment they touched, he felt as if the earth beneath his feet had become a part of his body.
Every inch of soil and every piece of gravel transmitted a certain pulsation to him.
This peculiar sensation was his Blood Demon Art!
Blood Demon Art: Rock Ridge Cage!
He flipped his hands upward, and the entire ground suddenly bulged.
Rumble—!
Several thick rock ridges grew frantically from underground, like the fangs of a giant beast breaking through the soil, surrounding the entire small courtyard in the blink of an eye.
The rock ridges interlaced and closed, forming an airtight rock wall cage.
The moonlight was shut out.
The violent roar naturally woke up everyone in the Soul Hunting Group.
"What's going on?"
"Who's doing that? It's so noisy!"
"Wait, it's an enemy attack!!!"
Hearing the chaotic clamor in the courtyard, Kains' eyes flashed with a fierce light; today, not a single person in this courtyard would escape.
Not far away, Lin Yang withdrew his crimson gaze.
He had already hidden this area with "Blindfold"; for a short time, no one would know what was happening here.
Once Kains finished handling things here, it would also be time for him to leave Heaven Dou City.
Otherwise, just the news of limb Rebirth leaking out would be enough to annoy him for a long while.
The Wolf Head Soul Hunting Group was annihilated.
Except for the ordinary handymen who were knocked unconscious, none of the other dozen or so people survived.
Bodies were piled haphazardly in the courtyard, blood flowed everywhere, and the most unfortunate ones had been smashed into meat paste.
Because this incident occurred within Heaven Dou City, even the Royal Guard was alerted.
After a brief investigation of the scene, the guards labeled it a "vengeance killing," signed off on it, and considered the matter settled.
Investigate?
No need.
Don't several of these messes happen every day?
Today you hack me, tomorrow I hack you.
If they really investigated every single case, how would the guard even function?
They only earned a few gold coins a month; why risk their lives?
No one suspected Kains either.
A cripple with severed limbs would be lucky just to be alive, let alone kill people?
He'd struggle to kill a chicken, let alone a group of Soul Masters.
The Wolf Head Soul Hunting Group ultimately became nothing more than post-meal gossip for other Soul Hunting Groups.
After a while, the incident would likely be forgotten entirely.
And such a "minor matter" wouldn't reach Lin Yang's ears; he continued his classes and training as usual.
After the morning classes ended this day, Lin Yang had lunch with Dugu Yan and then prepared to go to the library to read.
As the premier academy of Heaven Dou, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's hardware facilities were naturally top-notch, including the library.
The books inside weren't exactly all-encompassing, but they covered a wide range and were extremely rich.
Besides books on Martial Souls and Soul Beasts, various chronicles, legends of strange people, and medical texts were also in the collection.
Lin Yang would come here to stay for a while every day.
It wasn't that he had to make himself polymathic, but knowing more was never wrong, and sometimes it really did give him some inspiration.
However, just as he reached the library entrance today, he encountered an acquaintance.
"Lingling, you're coming to the library too!"
Lin Yang greeted her casually, but found Ye Lingling staring straight at him, her voice cold: "I've been waiting for you."
Waiting for me?
Lin Yang raised an eyebrow, looked around, and pointed to a nearby pavilion, "Let's talk over there."
After the two arrived at the pavilion, Ye Lingling took out the soul recovery potion Lin Yang had given her yesterday, though only half a bottle remained. "Did you make this potion?"
"I did," Lin Yang nodded.
Ye Lingling was silent for a few seconds, then asked again: "Are there other types of potions?"
Lin Yang keenly sensed that her tone was somewhat hurried. He nodded, "There is also a Soul Burning Potion. At the cost of losing one level of Soul Power, it unleashes two hundred percent of one's strength, lasting five to ten minutes."
"Similarly, it can only be used on Soul Masters below the Three-Ring level."
Ye Lingling's pupils constricted slightly; such a potion actually existed?
In addition to this, Lin Yang had also created a "Body Forging Potion" using whale glue as the core.
It not only fully utilized the effects of the whale glue but also eliminated the aphrodisiac side effects.
If one only analyzed the potion, no one would think the core of the Body Forging Potion was the aphrodisiac whale glue.
However, this kind of potion belonged to his core potions; currently, only he, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan could use it.
"Can I see it?"
Lin Yang took out a tube of potion from his storage bracelet.
The Soul Burning Potion appeared crimson in the glass reagent bottle, like flowing lava, flashing with a magnificent yet dangerous luster under the sunlight.
Ye Lingling carefully examined the Soul Burning Potion; although she hadn't tried it, she believed Lin Yang wouldn't speak without reason.
"Lin Yang, these two potions of yours must be prepared for civilian Soul Masters and those in Soul Hunting Groups."
One to recover Soul Power, one to fight for one's life in a desperate situation—it precisely targeted the pain point of "weak strength" among those low-level Soul Masters.
Lin Yang nodded: "Correct."
The blood coagulation powder and Antidotes he had introduced before had been very effective among mercenaries.
As more Soul Masters and Soul Hunting Group members came to the Butterfly House, he planned to find a suitable opportunity to promote the soul recovery potion and Soul Burning Potion.
As for the consequences? These two potions also had a share for the Dugu Family. Who would be so blind as to dare plot against a Titled Douluo?
