"Ling Yuan, leave them to me!"
Ye Han jumped out of Ling Yuan's arms, his face filled with confidence as he smiled.
Ling Yuan was slightly stunned, but her eyes quickly filled with trust as she smiled softly:
"Then go ahead, my lord husband~"
Although four to five-thousand-year soul beasts were equivalent to a peak-level four-ring Spirit Ancestor in human terms, and either of them could easily kill the two juniors Ye Han had fought earlier, Ling Yuan could sense that Ye Han's aura was extraordinary now. Taking on two at once might not be a problem for him.
Besides, with her, a Title Douluo, standing by to watch over him, what was there to worry about?
"Ling Yuan, don't worry. I won't let you become a widow."
Seeing Ling Yuan's trust in him, Ye Han deliberately teased her.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Focus on the fight!"
Ling Yuan's cheeks turned red as she retorted, but then she softened her tone and added:
"But still, be careful. That Night Shadow Demon Dragon isn't simple."
"From what I know, its movement techniques are extremely tricky. It has a special skill that allows it to hide within the environment it alters!"
Ye Han nodded but didn't take it to heart.
With his current strength, what did he have to fear?
Seeing Ye Han's nod, Ling Yuan's figure flashed as she leaped onto a nearby tree to observe the battle.
"Roar—Roar——!"
However, the moment Ling Yuan left, the Thunder Wing Sub-Dragon and the Night Shadow Demon Dragon let out furious roars.
They had been wary of the terrifying aura Ling Yuan exuded earlier, which was why they hadn't dared to act recklessly.
Now that Ye Han was no longer under Ling Yuan's protection, they had no more reservations and began to roar, ready to attack.
"Hmph, just some last-minute noise before death!"
Ye Han sneered coldly and immediately activated his Dark Holy Dragon Spirit.
The two-thousand-year purple soul ring he had obtained from killing their son appeared alongside him.
"Roar—Roar——!"
When the two soul beasts saw the soul ring of their child, they let out earth-shaking roars of fury and charged at Ye Han like mad beasts.
The Thunder Wing Sub-Dragon in front flapped its lightning-covered wings, rushing forward with terrifying electric currents.
The Night Shadow Demon Dragon behind it moved in a zigzag pattern, its movements were eerie and swift.
"Heh, all flash and no substance!"
Ye Han stood calmly in place, waiting for the right moment.
"Roar—Roar——!"
In the blink of an eye, the two soul beasts were upon him.
They roared in unison, their sharp claws tearing through the air as they slashed at Ye Han.
"My lord husband! Be careful!"
From the tree, Ling Yuan anxiously called out when she saw Ye Han still not moving.
Facing the attacks from both sides, Ye Han showed no fear. Instead, he smirked and suddenly roared:
"First Soul Skill—Dragon Wing Slash Through the Void, Dark Thunder Shatters the Heavens!"
As soon as he spoke, Ye Han's body moved, and his first two-thousand-year soul ring lit up.
The wings of the Dark Holy Dragon seemed to be enchanted, instantly entwined with countless lightning bolts.
Then, the wings spread out in a cross shape, slashing toward the two soul beasts.
"Boom—Boom——!"
In the next moment, the wings unleashed a black blade-like slash, accompanied by endless terrifying thunder, crashing into the two soul beasts.
"Boom——!"
The attack was too fast. The two soul beasts had no time to react and were instantly struck.
Their proud dragon bodies, which they had thought were invincible, were torn apart like paper under this force.
"Roar… Roar...!!!"
The piercing roars of pain echoed throughout the area.
Their massive dragon bodies were split in two, blood spraying everywhere and staining the ground beneath them. The air was filled with the stench of dragon blood.
"Whew~!"
From the tree, Ling Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, I told you I wouldn't let you become a widow~"
Ye Han smiled at Ling Yuan in the tree, then walked over to the Night Shadow Demon Dragon's corpse and began absorbing its soul ring.
Soon, it became the Dark Holy Dragon's second soul ring, granting him the soul skill:
Second Soul Skill: Dragon Shadow Concealed in Darkness, Phantom Steps Confuse the Enemy!
Skill Effect:
Transforms the surrounding area into a world of darkness, allowing the user to become a shadowy dragon phantom within it.
The user's form becomes as elusive as a ghost, making it impossible for anyone of the same level to track them unless their spiritual power exceeds the user's.
"Hiss…!"
Seeing this terrifying soul skill, Ye Han finally understood.
No wonder Ling Yuan had specifically mentioned this soul beast earlier. It was because of this skill.
Fortunately, the Night Shadow Demon Dragon had been blinded by rage. Otherwise, if it had used this skill, Ye Han would have been in trouble.
At this moment, Ling Yuan leaped down from the tree and walked over.
She gently picked up Ye Han and asked with concern:
"My lord husband, how do you feel after absorbing a four-thousand-year soul ring?"
"Is there any discomfort or anything unusual? Let me check."
Ye Han felt the warmth of Ling Yuan's embrace and grew even more attached to her.
After checking him over and finding nothing unusual, Ling Yuan was about to put Ye Han down.
But Ye Han suddenly sensed a fluctuation in his spirit power and exclaimed in joy:
"Ling Yuan, my spirit power has reached level 30!"
Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief:
"That's wonderful! You can start hunting for your third soul ring right away!"
Ye Han nodded happily, recalling the requirements of the Dragon God's second trial.
The second trial required that the total age of his first three soul rings be no less than fifteen thousand years.
Now, with his two soul rings adding up to six thousand three hundred years, he only needed to hunt for a soul ring of at least eight thousand seven hundred years.
Having just absorbed his second soul ring, his physical strength had increased significantly, so he should be able to barely absorb a nine-thousand-year soul ring!
"Ling Yuan, for my third soul ring, I want to hunt for one between eight thousand seven hundred and nine thousand years!"
This time, Ling Yuan didn't say much. She trusted Ye Han unconditionally.
"Alright, let's continue deeper into the Sunset Forest to find a suitable soul ring for you!"
The two of them quickly agreed and continued their search deeper into the Sunset Forest…
For a nine-thousand-year soul beast, Ye Han would still have some difficulty dealing with it alone.
Therefore, this time, he obediently followed Ling Yuan, letting her do the hard work while he waited to reap the rewards.
After a long and arduous search, they finally found a dual-attribute soul beast—the Dark Frost Dragon, with an age of eight thousand nine hundred years!
This soul beast not only possessed the shadow attribute but also the extreme ice attribute of dark frost.
Despite being only eight thousand nine hundred years old, its strength was comparable to a fifteen-thousand-year soul beast, showing just how powerful it was.
As a Title Douluo with formidable fire abilities, Ling Yuan easily severely injured the Dark Frost Dragon, leaving it on the brink of death.
Ye Han immediately stepped forward to deliver the final blow, then began absorbing it as his third soul ring, gaining a new soul skill:
Third Soul Skill: Dragon Breath Annihilates the Stars, Dark Frost Freezes the World!
Skill Effect:
Releases a terrifying dragon breath that combines darkness and extreme cold.
The breath not only has immense destructive power, capable of annihilating starlight, but also carries the power of extreme ice, freezing everything in its path for thousands of miles!
"It's done!"
Ye Han was overjoyed, and his spirit power also rose to level 32.
"Let's go. We'll head back and meet up with the Pope and the others."
Ling Yuan gently picked up Ye Han and began retracing their steps.
Ye Han, on the other hand, smirked mischievously.
He wondered how Bibi Dong would react when she saw his soul ring configuration.
"Buzz——!"
However, at this moment, Ye Han suddenly felt the surroundings become illusory once more.
In the next moment, he found himself back in his spiritual sea, face to face with the familiar figure of the Dragon God.
This time, the Dragon God didn't beat around the bush. Instead, he praised Ye Han and announced:
"Kid, you've done well!"
"You've successfully completed the second trial I set for you!"
"The rewards for this trial are twofold!"
"First, any one of your spirits will gain a—'Talent Domain'!"
"Second, my unique treasure—'Dragon God's Essence'!"
