Chapter 84 Dugu Yan Absorbs a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring
Dugu Yan stepped forward, summoned her martial spirit, and drew upon her ten-thousand-year-old soul ring.
"Ugh!!!"
The moment the soul ring entered her body, pain swept over her entire being. Dugu Yan let out a shrill scream, and her delicate body began to tremble violently.
This pain was no longer a burning sensation on the surface of the body, but a torment where every inch of bone and every cell was brutally crushed and then reassembled.
That Instant Scale Earth Dragon Python was known for its speed and strength, and the energy contained in its soul ring was extremely violent.
Dugu Yan's fair skin instantly bled profusely, a result of her capillaries rupturing due to the high pressure on her meridians.
Ye Liuyun frowned.
Had he overestimated Dugu Yan's physical strength?
He stepped forward to observe and offered a reminder.
"Hold on."
"I'll help you manage your health issues."
Dugu Yan could no longer hear what he was saying.
In her spiritual world, the slain earth dragon was roaring madly.
The "soul shock" unique to ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts made her even more desperate than the physical pain.
Suicidal thoughts began to cross her mind.
It hurts so much, just kill me, I can't take it anymore.
Her consciousness sank into the darkness, and she gradually wanted to fall asleep.
Ye Liuyun's left arm suddenly erupted with a dazzling blue light, and the life force of the Immortal Azure Emperor Armor was fully unleashed.
Left Arm Soul Bone Skill: Rebirth
He strode forward, his hands pressing down on Dugu Yan's shoulders like iron clamps, and an extremely domineering life force surged out from his palms, forcibly reconnecting the broken meridians.
"I can help you repair your physical damage, but you can only rely on your own efforts to heal your mental wounds."
"But I can tell you definitively that since you absorbed the immortal herb, your spiritual strength is absolutely sufficient."
"The first time you suffered psychological trauma, you made the wrong judgment."
"A level 50 Soul King can absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring, so there's no reason why you, who absorbed the immortal herb, couldn't withstand the mental impact."
Seeing that Dugu Yan's condition had not improved, Ye Liuyun knew that these words of comfort were useless, so he changed his approach.
"You are the only heir of the Dugu family."
"If you die here now, your grandfather, who's on his deathbed, will see your body in a moment. Guess what his reaction will be?"
"And if you die, the deal between me and your grandfather will be ruined, and we will inevitably have to fight."
"Then I can only apologize and let him die here as well."
Dugu Yan was no longer capable of thinking clearly. As she listened to the vague words, she recalled the scene of Dugu Bo being killed.
Anger and sadness immediately took over.
Anger is the most powerful spirit.
The spiritual strength brought by the immortal herb was evident; her spirit completely withstood the impact of the ten-thousand-year soul ring.
As time passed, the mental impact of the ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring weakened and eventually subsided.
After a long while, the violent aura inside the earthen cave finally subsided.
The last wisp of black light shrank into Dugu Yan's body, and a deep, heavy, and ancient black soul ring began to pulsate quietly around her.
Dugu Yan opened her eyes, her whole body covered in dark red bloodstains, like a red spider lily reborn from a pool of blood.
Her soul power level jumped to level 42 in one go.
She was breathing heavily, her eyes filled with unprecedented shock.
"It's a success!"
She raised her hand, looked at the jet-black soul ring, turned to look at Ye Liuyun, her voice filled with deep gratitude and lingering fear.
"Just now... I really thought I was going to die."
"Thanks!"
Ye Liuyun withdrew his hand without even glancing at her, and simply calmly adjusted his wristband.
"It was just a small favor."
"I'm just afraid that if you die, your grandfather will cause me trouble. I hate trouble."
Dugu Yan knew it was just a small favor, but without the other party's help, she would not have been able to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring.
The last shred of anger in her heart completely dissipated.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked, almost as if possessed:
"Ye Liuyun, do you have a woman you like?"
Ye Liuyun paused slightly as he was about to disperse the Blue Silver Grass, and answered without turning his head:
"No."
Dugu Yan bit her lip, her voice so soft it was almost a whisper:
"Actually, I think I'm pretty good, so we could give it a try."
Ye Liuyun turned around, looked at Dugu Yan, and sneered.
He didn't show any interest; he just found it funny.
It's like a little girl confessing her feelings to an adult.
"Don't fall in love with someone just because they suddenly become nice to you."
"Because no one knows how long that 'goodness' can last, and no one knows if there is any ulterior motive behind that 'goodness'."
Ye Liuyun patiently explained:
"If you're going to like someone, like someone who is good to begin with. They won't change because of their circumstances, nor will they withdraw their gentleness once they've achieved their goal."
Dugu Yan stood there, stunned, repeatedly pondering these words.
Don't like someone just because they're nice to you for a short time; instead, like someone who is good to you as a whole.
She suddenly thought of Yu Tianheng.
Originally, Yu Tianheng only had ordinary classmate feelings for her, until he learned that her grandfather was Dugu Bo.
From then on, that meticulous care and thoughtfulness with a certain sense of ritual became like an exquisite package.
After learning about the background of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, Grandpa always felt that this was a powerful alliance.
She felt that Yu Tianheng could be a suitable candidate for her future husband.
There's nothing wrong with marrying someone of equal social standing, but this kind of ulterior motive makes people uncomfortable.
Dugu Yan raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her who didn't even bother to turn around and look at her.
She learned from Dugu Bo that their transaction was only about her receiving treatment and medication, but the other party still gave her a lot out of kindness.
Remaining unmoved by temptation, he bestowed upon her an immortal herb, healing her body and granting her a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
The person who was already good is now right in front of her.
What are you standing there daydreaming about?
Ye Liuyun turned around and frowned as he looked at Dugu Yan, who was deep in thought.
Dugu Yan scratched her head awkwardly; the bloodstains on her face made her look somewhat dazed and cute.
"I was thinking… We made a promise before that once we both have our fourth spirit ring, we'll have a proper duel."
"After seeing that top-grade soul bone you just had, I was thinking... when we fight later, could you go a little easier?"
"I'm not strong enough to take a beating."
She recalled the last competition, in which this monster single-handedly shattered the Shi brothers' prized Xuanwu tortoise shell, and she still felt lingering fear.
At the time, she couldn't figure it out. Afterwards, she just assumed that the two Shi brothers had consumed too much soul power and their soul skills were not up to par.
But now it seems that the other party used Blue Silver Grass to cover the top-grade soul bone, and used the hardness of the top-grade soul bone to shatter the Shi brothers' defense.
Ye Liuyun looked at her somewhat silly appearance with disdain.
"Boring, who wants to fight with you?"
He waved his right hand.
"Disperse."
The blue silver grass and the mound of earth collapsed instantly.
Sunlight streamed in, and under a tree not far away, Dugu Bo sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint emerald aura, clearly having been there to protect the Dharma for some time.
Seeing that the two had come out safely, the worry in Dugu Bo's eyes instantly turned into ecstatic joy.
He noticed that the fourth spirit ring under Dugu Yan's feet was black.
This is truly unique in history.
It's like their ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke.
Their future achievements will definitely surpass his.
At the same time, he was extremely grateful to Ye Liuyun.
The slight resentment he had felt earlier because Ye Liuyun had delayed treatment had also disappeared.
If she could spend more time by his side and learn from his profound knowledge, Dugu Yan becoming a Title Douluo would be a certainty.
Dugu Bo now actually wanted to slow down the transaction so that the two of them could spend more time together.
