Chapter 125: Intercepting an Opportunity!
Shuiyue ran up to Ye Xuanming, her face full of anticipation, and asked:
"Ye Xuanming, you'll come to watch our match, right?"
"Of course." Ye Xuanming nodded.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Shuiyue jumped up happily.
Shui Bing'er walked over, her expression towards Ye Xuanming somewhat complicated.
"We will not let you down."
Ye Xuanming smiled, then led Ning Rongrong and the other two back to the Ye family manor.
The night was as dark as ink at the Ye Family Manor.
Inside the study, the candlelight flickered, casting Ye Xuanming's long shadow.
Ye Xuanming rested his chin on his hands, the message that his aunt had inadvertently mentioned during dinner echoing in his mind.
The largest auction house in Tiandou City was robbed, and the final item up for auction, a rare soul bone, was stolen.
That year.
Ye Xuanming immediately thought of this name.
In the original story, it was this spirit-type soul master named Shi Nian who stole that soul bone.
A gem-like soul bone called the Illusionary Wisdom Skull.
Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda has top-notch auxiliary capabilities, but her own defensive capabilities, especially in terms of mental strength, have always been her biggest weakness.
This skull of the Enchanted Realm is a treasure tailor-made for her.
After a moment's thought, Ye Xuanming realized that with his current mental strength, he was not without the ability to fight against Shi Nian.
But there's no need for that.
Some things don't need to be done personally, especially when there are better people available.
He stood up, pushed open the door, and walked straight to Dugu Bo's courtyard deep inside the manor.
...
Dugu Bo was fiddling with his bottles and jars, and a strange herbal aroma filled the air.
Upon seeing Ye Xuanming's late-night visit, he raised his eyelids and snorted irritably.
"Why are you coming to this old man's place in the middle of the night instead of spending time with my precious granddaughter?"
"Grandpa, I'd like to ask you for a small favor," Ye Xuanming said, getting straight to the point.
"Want some help?" Dugu Bo stopped what he was doing, showing some interest.
"Tell me, what could possibly require you to make this trip in person?"
"The instructor leading the team from Canghui Academy is a Soul Master named Shi Nian, a level 72 Power Attack-type Battle Soul Saint, whose Martial Soul is Remnant Dream, a Mental type."
Ye Xuanming briefly recounted the information from that year and the matter of the illusory wisdom skull.
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow after hearing this.
"So, you want me to become a bandit and snatch that soul bone from another bandit?"
"This is Rongrong."
Ye Xuanming added,
"This soul bone is very important to her."
"I gave the previous soul bone to Sister Yanzi, this precious stone soul bone to Rongrong, and I will also find a soul bone for Sister Lingling in the future."
Upon hearing that it was for Ning Rongrong, the slight reluctance on Dugu Bo's face immediately disappeared.
He stroked his chin and chuckled. "Alright, I'm just killing time anyway."
Dugu Bo stood up and stretched his limbs.
"He's just a level 72 Soul Saint. I'll go and bring him back to you right now."
Before he finished speaking, Dugu Bo's figure had already transformed into a green shadow and disappeared into the night.
Silence returned to the study.
Having resolved the matter, Ye Xuanming's emotions calmed down.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.
During this time, he has been busy training the Royal Fighting Team and the Skywater Team, and has not communicated with the being in his spiritual sea for a long time.
With a thought, Ye Xuanming's consciousness sank into the spiritual world.
This is a peculiar space. One half is filled with flowing blue-gold light, brimming with vibrant life; the other half is shrouded in a hazy purple-gold light, carrying an aura of annihilation that devours everything.
Ye Xuanming called out softly.
"Sister Ayin".
In the center of the space, light converges.
A noble and elegant figure slowly took shape.
She wore a gorgeous blue and gold long dress with flowing gold threads on the hem, and her long, azure hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her otherworldly face carried her usual gentle smile.
"Xuanming, you've arrived," Ayin said slowly.
"I've been so busy lately that I've neglected you," Ye Xuanming said.
Ah Yin shook her head gently, her beautiful blue eyes shimmering with a soft light.
"I am not idle; I am gathering strength."
"Accumulate power?" Ye Xuanming asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't Xuanming notice that your first soul ring has changed?" Ayin reminded him.
Ye Xuanming immediately looked inward at himself.
The soul rings of the two Blue Silver Grass martial souls, Blue Gold and Purple Gold, which resided within his body, floated quietly.
He immediately noticed the first soul ring on the Life Silver Grass.
The purple light seemed even deeper than before, with a faint glimpse of ominous black at its edges.
"This is..."
"My soul power is constantly recovering and increasing, and Xuanming, your first soul ring originated from me. My growth will directly feed back into your soul ring."
Ah Yin's voice was filled with joy.
"Soon, I will be confident that I can officially transform your first soul ring into a ten-thousand-year level."
Ye Xuanming's heart stirred.
The first soul ring evolved directly into a ten-thousand-year soul ring!
His third soul ring is the natal soul ring he obtained after awakening his martial soul as the Blue Silver King. In the future, both of these soul rings will evolve to 100,000 years, which is really good.
After the initial joy of this event, Ye Xuanming thought of another, more pressing issue.
"Sister Ayin, I'm already level 49, and I'll soon be facing the choice of my fifth soul ring."
"Do you already have a goal in mind?"
"Mm." Ye Xuanming nodded.
"The Blue Silver King of the Blue Silver Forest, whose cultivation has reached 80,000 years. I want to ask it to offer a sacrifice for me."
Upon hearing "80,000-year-old Blue Silver King", Ah Yin's body trembled slightly.
As the former Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin naturally knew of the existence of the Blue Silver King. The last time Ye Xuanming went to the Blue Silver Forest, it was Ah Yin who awakened Ye Xuanming's martial soul.
And the Blue Silver King was the leader of all Blue Silver Grasses, except for her.
"Xuanming, you…" Ayin's voice trembled slightly. She wanted to dissuade him, but couldn't bring herself to say it.
Making it a sacrifice is no different from killing one's own kind.
Looking at her struggling, Ye Xuanming slowly spoke:
"Sister Ayin, you should be able to confirm it now, Tang San is definitely not from this world."
Ah Yin was taken aback. Yes, those were Tang San's sneak attack weapons and self-created soul skills during the Soul Battle.
I've never heard of this before. Where did Tang San learn it? Ye Xuanming told me about this a few years ago.
And indeed, it seems that this is the case.
Ye Xuanming looked at Ah Yin and continued:
"Therefore, I took away the Blue Silver King to prevent him from awakening the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul."
After a long while, Ah Yin slowly raised her head.
The gentleness had long since faded from those beautiful, deep blue eyes.
"good!"
"You have absorbed my bloodline, and you are also the rightful successor of the Blue Silver Emperor!"
"Once you reach level 50, I will personally persuade him to offer a sacrifice for you!"
"At that time, I will also guide the blood vessels in your body to help you complete the second awakening of your martial soul."
Ah Yin's voice carried an unprecedented firmness.
"Xuanming, you must avenge me!"
"Whether it's Tang Hao or Tang San!"
Ye Xuanming felt a surge of joy, but his expression remained calm.
He calmly replied, "Okay."
...
As his consciousness returned from the sea of the mind, Ye Xuanming opened his eyes. The candlelight in the study remained lit.
Now that Ah Yin is completely on my side, things will be much easier in the future.
Just then, a green shadow flashed past the window and silently landed in the study.
