Chapter 85 Ye Liuyun's Fourth Soul Ring
Dugu Bo looked at the deep black soul ring at Dugu Yan's feet, his old eyes filled with ecstasy and shock.
He strode forward and carefully examined his granddaughter's condition, finding her breathing to be steady.
Not only had her soul power broken through level 40, but he also felt that her physical condition had improved a lot.
"Okay, okay!"
Dugu Bo burst into laughter, then turned to look at Ye Liuyun, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"A deal is a deal, but the benefits are real, and I've taken note of them."
Dugu Bo is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Without Ye Liuyun's help, Dugu Yan would not have been able to obtain the ten-thousand-year soul ring.
This situation must be acknowledged.
"Alright."
Ye Liuyun didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"It's time for me to find a suitable soul beast."
"Let's go! Let's find your fourth spirit ring!"
Dugu Bo waved his sleeve, his heroic spirit soaring to the clouds:
"In the depths of this Sunset Forest, if there's anything you fancy, I'll turn the earth upside down and get it for you!"
The three of them set off again.
In order to find a suitable soul beast for Ye Liuyun, the three wandered around.
They entered a humid valley shrouded in thick fog year-round.
The atmosphere here was cold and oppressive, the plants grew in extremely distorted ways, and it was so quiet that even the chirping of insects could not be heard.
"This is Shadow Kill Canyon in Sunset Forest."
Dugu Bo whispered a reminder, his eyes becoming wary:
"There are many plant-type soul beasts here, and they all have hallucinogenic and parasitic properties, making them extremely difficult to deal with."
Ye Liuyun walked at the front, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul instinctively releasing subtle fluctuations to sense the life frequencies around him.
"My fighting style is attrition warfare, and I've decided to maintain this characteristic. The fourth soul skill I need will be 'clone'."
Ye Liuyun briefly explained the requirements on the way.
"The first three soul skills have already established control, weakening, and suppression. If you can create a clone, the opponent's burst skills will have a chance to be mishit, greatly increasing the margin for error."
Dugu Bo's eyes twitched upon hearing this; this kid's fighting style was simply "cheap" to the extreme.
Let's compare consumption.
Who can outlast you, a transformed soul beast?
For an opponent of the same level to encounter such a disgusting fighting style is truly the worst luck imaginable.
Just then, Ye Liuyun suddenly stopped and fixed his gaze on the bottom of a cliff ahead.
It was a vine with an extremely peculiar appearance. Its main body was purplish-black and crystal clear. It had no leaves, only countless fine threads that floated slowly in the air.
Strangely, the vine cast several illusory shadows in the sunlight, each shadow possessing the same aura as the original.
"The Myriad Mysteries Ivy".
A glint of light flashed in Ye Liuyun's eyes.
"Judging from the color and the solidity of the shadow, it should be around 13,000 years old. This is pretty good."
"Around 13,000 years?"
Dugu Yan cried out in surprise:
"That's much older than the soul beast I just had. Are you sure you can handle it?"
She felt a lingering fear when she thought about the pain she had almost endured.
"I know what I'm doing."
Ye Liuyun said calmly.
This soul beast excels at creating "mirror clones," each of which can withstand a certain degree of attack and perfectly replicate the interference capabilities of the original body.
"Alright! I'll dig it up by the roots right away!"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, and his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor martial soul erupted instantly.
The Myriad Mysteries Ivy sensed a deadly threat. Thousands of purplish-black threads instantly transformed into a rain of arrows, while simultaneously conjuring more than a dozen clones that fled in all directions.
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, and the poisonous mist sealed off a hundred-meter radius like a cage. The pressure of the Title Douluo shattered the illusions.
"Kid, now's the time!"
Ye Liuyun moved like a phantom, his left arm gleaming with the light of the Immortal Azure Emperor Armor. He delivered a powerful punch with a "withering" effect, striking precisely at the root of the purple-gold main vine.
And it continued to use decay.
"boom--!"
The main vine was suppressed by Dugu Bo and could only tremble violently, its life force rapidly fading away.
A shiny black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring slowly emerged.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Liuyun immediately sat cross-legged and drew his soul ring towards him.
Dugu Yan's eyes were full of worry.
The pain of absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring still lingered in her memory.
Not to mention that the ten-thousand-year soul ring that Ye Liuyun absorbed was two or three thousand years older than hers.
Dugu Bo was also very worried, as the difficulty of absorbing beyond one's level was as high as climbing to the sky.
Many people have died from exploding bodies after absorbing spirit rings they couldn't handle.
He had sensed the extreme situation Dugu Yan was in while he was guarding outside.
Now that Ye Liuyun was challenging an even higher age limit, he was really worried.
He was counting on Ye Liuyun to help Dugu Yan evolve her martial soul.
Compared to the tense expressions of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Ye Liuyun's expression was very calm.
Because he had previously taken the "Dew of Longing for Autumn Water," Ye Liuyun's sea of consciousness remained as solid as a rock when the soul impact of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast crashed down like a raging torrent.
Physical impacts were no match for Ye Liuyun's powerful vitality and healing abilities.
The absorption process was smooth and quick.
Ye Liuyun opened his eyes, and a golden halo flashed in his originally deep eyes.
He slowly stood up, his four spirit rings—two yellow, one purple, and one black—shining brightly beneath his feet, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
His soul power level had also reached level 42.
Dugu Yan was dumbfounded.
She had even mentally prepared herself for the possibility that Ye Liuyun might be in great pain and unable to cope.
She stepped forward and gently hugged him, whispering comforting words in his ear.
Just like the person on the other side had encouraged her, she helped Ye Liuyun.
But it ended too quickly.
There was absolutely no use for her skills.
"That's it?"
Ye Liuyun shrugged and asked in a serious tone.
"Otherwise what?"
Dugu Bo never expected things to end so easily.
Originally, judging from the sounds of Dugu Yan absorbing the energy, he felt that it was extremely dangerous.
But now, seeing Ye Liuyun's absorption process with his own eyes, he suddenly felt that absorbing beyond one's level wasn't so difficult after all.
"Quickly, show me your fourth soul skill!"
Dugu Bo urged impatiently.
Ye Liuyun did not refuse; with a thought, his fourth spirit ring flashed beneath his feet.
Fourth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Avatar.
A blue silver grass sprouted from Ye Liuyun's feet, and a figure gradually became exactly like him, even with the same aura and cold expression, and quietly walked out.
Ye Liuyun explained.
"The clone can inherit 50% of my attributes, and its thoughts are completely controlled by me. It can use soul skills except for the fourth soul skill."
Then, both the main body and the clone raised their hands simultaneously.
"Third Soul Skill: Descent of the Tree Realm!"
"Boom—!"
A massive blue silver grass forest, twice the size of what it once was, instantly sprang up from the ground.
In this dense forest, the clones moved with ease, and the Blue Silver Grass was also under their complete control.
Dugu Bo stared at the scene before him, his mouth agape, before finally shaking his head with a wry smile.
"That's really good. By creating a complex environment, your main body can be hidden, and your clone can fight."
Looking at the handsome and aloof faces of the main body and the clone standing side by side, Dugu Yan couldn't help but let her mind wander again.
There are two of them, so wouldn't that mean...
Then her face flushed red, and she quickly lowered her head.
She complained inwardly that it was all a side effect of the whale glue, causing her to always imagine strange things when she saw Ye Liuyun.
The blue silver grass slowly dissipated.
"Let's go."
Ye Liuyun put away his martial spirit:
"We've lingered here too long. Let's head back to the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Eyes first."
Within the realm of ice and fire.
"I will stay here in seclusion for a while to consolidate my cultivation level."
Ye Liuyun began to explain.
"Dugu Yan, go back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and don't show any abnormality."
Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback. At this moment, when she faced Ye Liuyun, her arrogance had completely vanished, and she did not want to separate from him.
She still wanted to take advantage of the situation... and asked softly:
"And what about you?"
"I will send my avatar back," Ye Liuyun said.
As soon as he finished speaking, his fourth spirit ring, which had been around for ten thousand years, lit up.
His soul power twisted strangely.
A single blue silver grass then rapidly swelled and took shape.
A moment later, another "Ye Liuyun" appeared before everyone.
Ye Liuyun turned to look at Dugu Bo.
"These next few days, go somewhere else and make a big fuss. Tang Hao is arrogant and unreasonable, regardless of whether there's evidence or not. If he finds out I've been gone for too long, the first person he'll cause trouble for will be you."
"Once you cause trouble elsewhere, I'll send my avatar back to reduce suspicion against you."
Ye Liuyun didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for the grandfather and grandson, and once the transaction was completely finished, he would stay far away from them.
As a normal person, he hoped that Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan could live a normal and happy life.
Dugu Bo's heart tightened. He naturally knew how terrifying that madman Tang Hao was, and immediately nodded:
"I understand. I will go to Heaven Dou City and stir up some trouble to divert that madman's attention."
The avatar Ye Liuyun was completely under the control of the original body. He took the things Xiao Wu needed and headed straight for Shrek Academy.
