After the most careful observation, the group unanimously concluded.
This blood-colored eyeball, although it looked extraordinary, had an actual purpose that was completely unknowable. At least from its appearance and the aura it emitted, this thing was definitely not anything proper.
Everyone was busy absorbing soul rings, so Shen Han Yu and the others naturally had nothing to do. You Meng Chu took Xue Ke for a casual stroll nearby, while the Demon Empress once again buried herself in the ship's cabin, seemingly unwilling to wander around anymore.
Lan Fozi's cultivation had long surpassed level seventy, but she temporarily did not need to hunt soul beasts for soul rings, so she was also one of the few people with nothing to do.
Healing-type soul beasts rarely existed in the ocean, and even if there were any, most carried certain risks and were not compatible with Ye Lingling's martial soul. This was a helpless matter. As expected, Shen Han Yu would still have to take Ye Lingling back to the continent to hunt soul beasts.
However, from a certain perspective, this was also a good thing. After all, from the moment they set off, they had cut off all contact with the continent. What exactly had happened there was completely unknown. This time, using the opportunity to hunt soul beasts for Ye Lingling, they could also investigate.
But with Qian Ren Xue's intellect and the attitude of the Spirit Hall, Shen Han Yu estimated that the entire continent was probably already in chaos. As for those once-prominent sects, whether they could still preserve even a trace of their bloodline inheritance was questionable.
Shen Han Yu was not too worried about the situation in Element City. After all, Qian Ren Xue and her grandfather's attitude toward them was clear. Excluding those two, Shen Han Yu inexplicably thought of Bibi Dong.
According to Bibi Dong's personality, the fact that she had been able to hide in the shadows for so long was not normal. Although she herself was indeed both crazy and stupid, on the path to becoming a god, Bibi Dong did have a say.
...
One day and one night later.
Most of the girls' soul ring absorption had been completed. The soul rings they absorbed were generally around ten thousand years higher than the ordinary maximum limit. The time and energy required were therefore greater. Being able to finish absorbing them in one day without external help was already an extremely good speed.
Shen Liu Yu's absorption was still ongoing. However, with the protection of the divine test, Shen Han Yu was not worried about her safety and simply waited quietly by her side.
A ferocious beast soul ring was vastly different from an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul ring. This was not merely a difference in soul power, but involved even deeper levels.
Successfully absorbing a ferocious beast soul ring at the eighth soul ring, even without the divine test, meant that, due to the superiority of the current era, Shen Liu Yu might not be unable to create her own divine position and become a god.
As his only biological younger sister, Shen Han Yu had poured too many resources and love into Shen Liu Yu, hoping she could grow up quickly. Although this sister had grown a bit crooked and had even learned to be rebellious, no longer as cute as when she was little, Shen Han Yu still spoiled her as always. This had already become a habit and a soft spot for him.
Another half a day passed. The black airflow enveloping Shen Liu Yu dissipated, and eight soul rings slowly rose, finally lining up neatly together.
At this moment, Shen Liu Yu officially stepped into the Soul Douluo level!
You Meng Chu landed beside the group, her mouth twitching, and then said:
"What a Soul Douluo. The soul power aura around her body is actually no different from a level ninety-one or ninety-two Title Douluo. Ah Yu, this Soul Douluo of yours is a bit abnormal…"
The others looked at each other, then nodded one after another.
As the aura slowly converged, Shen Liu Yu let out a long breath, then opened her eyes and revealed a big smile to everyone. With a leap, she headed toward the ship.
And at that exact moment, the blood-colored eyeball that Shen Han Yu had previously stored in his soul tool suddenly began to riot. It directly broke through the restrictions Shen Han Yu had set and swiftly flew toward Shen Liu Yu.
Snow Empress's expression changed. She was about to intervene when Shen Han Yu stopped her first.
"Let's keep watching. I always felt this thing was a bit strange. Thinking about it now, this thing was probably deliberately hidden by that ferocious beast in the deep-sea abyss. That means there must be a connection between the two."
Shen Han Yu said softly while observing the changes in the situation.
The blood-colored eyeball drew a streak of blood light behind it, then slowly stopped in front of Shen Liu Yu. Under Shen Liu Yu's somewhat dazed state, a blood-colored light suddenly descended and transformed into a stream of light, all pouring into Shen Liu Yu's right eye.
A miserable scream came from Shen Liu Yu's mouth. The blood-colored eyeball turned into countless blood-red liquids, which then slowly entered Shen Liu Yu's eye one by one.
Shen Han Yu stepped forward and caught Shen Liu Yu, then brought her back to the ship and leaned her against the nearby wall.
After the blood-colored liquid had fully entered, strands of blood slowly flowed from Shen Liu Yu's right eye, mixed with considerable soul power fluctuations.
Snow Empress turned her head to look at Shen Han Yu and asked softly:
"What exactly is going on…"
Shen Han Yu shook his head and said:
"I still can't determine it right now, but this blood-red eyeball is extremely similar to the three eyes on that ferocious beast. The connection between them is not light. Later, after I confirmed that this blood-colored eyeball had no life energy reaction, I guessed at that time that this thing should be very important to that ferocious beast…"
"And haven't you noticed? After this ferocious beast died, it was missing one crucial thing…"
Snow Empress was slightly stunned, then quickly reacted.
"You mean… soul bone… Yes, this ferocious beast indeed did not produce a soul bone. According to common sense, this is absolutely impossible…"
Shen Han Yu nodded and said:
"The problem lies here. Although I don't know why this situation occurred, we have now found the source of the issue."
"As you can see, the soul bone produced by this ferocious beast is extremely special, it is a right eye external soul bone. You don't need to worry about Ah Yu's situation. Her sea of spirit has my restrictions and the protection of the divine test, so no accidents will occur…"
Everyone nodded upon hearing this. In the current situation, they were all at a loss, and they naturally completely trusted the words of the always-reliable Shen Han Yu.
...
Shen Liu Yu's absorption this time did not take long, only about one hour.
As she shakily stood up, a silver-white barrier suddenly spread out with her as the center. For a moment, the few girls who had not reacted in time and were enveloped within it looked at each other, then none of them made any rash moves.
Shui Bing'er reached out and touched the barrier. Her spiritual power immediately began to drain uncontrollably. Shui Bing'er was somewhat surprised, but before she could continue testing, the silver-white barrier was retracted.
Shen Liu Yu blinked in confusion, then touched her right eye and muttered to herself:
"What a strange feeling…"
Shui Bing'er took a few steps forward and gently put an arm around Shen Liu Yu's shoulder, asking softly:
"Ah Yu, are you feeling okay?"
Shen Liu Yu glanced at Shui Bing'er. A flash of light passed through her eyes. Shui Bing'er paused slightly, then uncontrollably froze in place.
Realizing something was wrong, Shen Liu Yu quickly adjusted her soul power. Only then did Shui Bing'er regain consciousness as if waking from drowning, and she began breathing heavily.
"Sister-in-law, are… are you okay?"
Shen Liu Yu supported Shui Bing'er and asked somewhat shakily.
Shui Bing'er coughed a few times, then shook her head and said:
"Is this the soul skill from your external soul bone? It actually made me lose the ability to resist in an instant. The effect is quite abnormal…"
Shen Liu Yu covered her right eye, then turned her body away and hurriedly said:
"Sister-in-law, you guys should stay away from me for now. For some reason, I still can't control the soul skill brought by this soul bone…"
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er withdrew the hand she was about to use to pat Shen Liu Yu's shoulder. Noticing Shen Han Yu walking over from behind, Shui Bing'er gave the others a meaningful look, and the group retreated a bit.
Shen Han Yu walked forward, then pulled Shen Liu Yu's shoulder. A gentle spiritual power slowly entered Shen Liu Yu's right eye. Before long, strands of blood-red aura were driven out from it and slowly dissipated into the world.
"It's about done. This soul bone contains too much murderous aura and evil energy, which is why you temporarily have difficulty controlling the activation of your soul bone. But fortunately, your own spiritual power is strong enough. Once the residual aura inside is completely cleared, this kind of thing shouldn't happen again…"
Shen Han Yu said softly while pinching Shen Liu Yu's cheek.
Shen Liu Yu slowly opened her eyes, then tentatively looked at everyone. Sure enough, that strange feeling from before was gone, as if everything had returned to normal.
"Thank you, brother. If it weren't for you, I would have caused trouble again…"
Shen Liu Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.
Shen Han Yu chuckled lightly and said:
"This is no big deal. You have already mastered most of this soul bone. Even if it goes out of control, once the soul skill effect fades afterward, it would at most cause a headache for a while without harming the foundation…"
Shen Liu Yu nodded gently. After briefly explaining her feelings to Shen Han Yu, she returned to her group of close friends.
Shen Han Yu also let out a light sigh of relief. After nodding to Snow Empress, who had come over later, he then said:
"Alright, our goal this time has been perfectly achieved. Now it's time to return to Sea God Island. Does anyone have any questions?"
Everyone shook their heads. Seeing that there were no further issues, Shen Han Yu glanced at Wang Han, who was standing straight nearby. The other party instantly understood, stood up, and entered the cabin.
Before long, the giant ship started once again and sailed back in the direction they had come from.
Amid wind and waves and heavy rain, the giant ship rode the wind and broke through the waves, then passed through this area at an astonishing speed, returning to normal sea waters.
From here, it was only a few days' journey to Sea God Island. Although they would still encounter many powerful sea soul beasts along the way, in the eyes of Snow Empress and the others, they were nothing more than small fry and posed no threat at all.
Shen Han Yu also made a decisive decision and took Ye Lingling ahead first, flying directly toward the continent.
...
Scene shift: Hanhai City.
At Shen Han Yu's extreme speed, in merely about one day, the two had already left the ocean and arrived at a continental city.
Since this trip had a purpose, the two did not stay in Hanhai City for long and only chose to rest here for one night.
Of course, the fact that there was only one vacant room in the hotel was something neither of them had expected. Under all kinds of "helplessness," the two could only choose to "make do" with each other. It was this very night that allowed Ye Lingling to truly experience the dangers of the human heart.
Early the next morning, Shen Han Yu placed breakfast by the bedside, then smiled and pinched Ye Lingling's upturned, delicate nose, saying:
"If you're awake, stop pretending. Come eat some breakfast first. We have to set off again afterward…"
Ye Lingling opened her eyes with some dissatisfaction and let out a soft hum, saying:
"I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person…"
Shen Han Yu smiled and picked up Ye Lingling, but his hands automatically became dishonest, causing Ye Lingling to struggle again.
"Alright, I've never claimed to be a gentleman. Or rather, I was never the kind of good person who doesn't eat meat when he sees it…"
As he spoke, Shen Han Yu used soul power to lift the meal tray placed aside in front of Ye Lingling. Unexpectedly, Ye Lingling only needed to see that cup of milk before she couldn't control herself and began dry heaving. Her complexion instantly worsened considerably, as if remembering something unpleasant.
Shen Han Yu dry-coughed and smiled apologetically. He then took the cup of milk himself and drank it in one gulp, saying:
"I know you like light flavors, so I had them specially make you a sandwich. Um… I promise you, it won't happen next time…"
Ye Lingling's face was flushed red. She quickly broke free from Shen Han Yu's embrace, took the sandwich, then fiercely threw the tray at Shen Han Yu while saying viciously:
"Get out! For the next half hour, I don't want to see you again…"
Shen Han Yu took the tray, raised an eyebrow, and felt he had spoiled Ye Lingling a bit too much. But on second thought, he wasn't at a loss anyway. It was just a little girl's temperament. After some more training, it probably wouldn't happen again…
...
After waiting for Ye Lingling to finish breakfast, the two prepared to set off. However, since they had arrived on the continent, Shen Han Yu naturally was not in a hurry. He slowed down his speed. Sometimes, when they encountered cities, they would even go down to rest for a while and take the opportunity to inquire about recent major events on the continent.
Since this was still a near-sea region, everything looked no different from before they left, still as prosperous as ever.
Occasionally gathering information, the most frequent words Shen Han Yu heard from these people were "war" and "Spirit Empire." From these fragmented pieces of news, Shen Han Yu could roughly judge the current situation on the continent. If he had to describe it with one word, Shen Han Yu thought it would definitely be "exciting"…
