The night is getting darker, deep in the Wuhun Branch Hall of Tiandou City, a quiet room specially used to receive important people is brightly lit.
Ye Lingling is here. She was still wearing a plain dress from the Tiandou Royal Academy, and her temperament was as cold as an orchid under the moon.
She stood quietly in the center of the quiet room, opposite Bishop Salas who was sitting on the main seat, and Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan and Ling Ye on both sides.
"Classmate Ye Lingling came to visit late at night. Do you want to join the Wuhun Hall?" Salas had a gentle smile on his face and tapped the table with his fingertips.
"I..." Ye Lingling's voice had an imperceptible tremor. She took a deep breath and tried to maintain the surface calm, "I want to...experience what classmate Ling Ye called the "blind box" first." She did not directly agree to join the Spirit Hall.
"Oh? Experience?" Hu Liena's red lips curled up slightly, her fox eyes flashed with insight and a hint of amusement, "Sister Lingling, this blind box is a very precious opportunity. If you experience it and open the good things, but regret it..." She did not finish her words, but the hidden threats and temptations were like invisible threads, entwining Ye Lingling's nerves.
Yan folded his arms, his fiery red hair danced under the light, and stared at Ye Lingling with burning eyes, as if looking at a lucky person who was about to open the treasure box, with a hint of "waiting to see your jaw drop". Xie Yue was still cold and stern, his eyes sweeping across Ye Lingling like a blade, with scrutiny.
Ye Linngling's fingertips curled up slightly, and her nails dug into her palms, causing a slight tingling sensation. She looked at Ling Ye, with a hint of imperceptible pleading in her voice: "Ling Ye, can you...experience it first?"
Ling Ye raised his head, his dark eyes met Ye Lingling's cold gaze, nodded, and said concisely: "Okay, I believe that no one can resist its temptation after driving it."
He then walked to the open space in the center of the quiet room. Without any extra movement, with a slight movement of his mind, four wooden blind boxes of the same size, simple material, and without any markings on the surface seemed to condense out of the void and floated quietly in front of him. The box itself did not have any soul power fluctuations, and was as ordinary as the goods at a street stall.
“Let’s get started!” Ling Ye motioned to Ye Lingling.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on these four inconspicuous boxes. Salas narrowed his eyes slightly; Hu Liena leaned forward slightly; Yan licked her lips; Xie Yue's eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Ye Lingling's heart beat violently uncontrollably. She stretched out her cold fingers, and with an almost pilgrim-like solemnity, she gently touched the first blind box on the far left.
Click! Buzz!
The box opened with a sound, and the soft white light instantly enveloped Ye Lingling.
The light dissipated.
A pure and gentle warm current of soul power, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, slowly poured into her limbs and bones! The original twenty-eighth level soul power barrier was slightly loosened, and it was a small step towards the twenty-nineth level!
"Soul power...has increased!" Ye Lingling's cold face showed obvious emotion for the first time, and she could clearly feel the increase in soul power in her body!
Without hesitation, she immediately clicked on the second blind box.
Click! Buzz!
The light is on again!
This time, what is pouring into the body is no longer soul power, but a strange, warm energy with the original breath! This energy seemed to have spirituality, rushing straight to the location of her martial soul, and wrapped around her yellow soul ring that represented her first soul skill!
Hum——!
At Ye Lingling's feet, the first circle of yellow century-old soul rings emerged uncontrollably! In everyone's surprised eyes, the originally slightly ordinary yellow light turned yellower at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"The life span of the soul ring! Has it been increased?!" Bishop Salas exclaimed softly, his eyes gleaming with light! Although it is only improved for a hundred years, the significance of this is more shocking than the improvement of soul power! This is the strengthening of the soul master’s foundation! Even with his bishop's temperament, it is difficult to calm down at this moment!
Ye Lenglen: "This!!! This is incredible! No wonder Yan's soul ring configuration..."
"Let's continue!"
"Okay!"
...
The third blind box!
Click! Buzz!
The light lit up, and the time surrounding Ye Lingling seemed to be longer for a moment.
The light dissipated.
It’s that strange warm source energy again! It once again accurately wrapped around Ye Lingling's first soul ring!
Hum——!
The light of the first soul ring skyrocketed again! The yellow becomes deeper, and it seems to be a big step closer to the purple thousand-year threshold! The hundred-year soul ring will be improved for another hundred years! Two hundred years in total!
"Another... soul ring age increase?!" Yan's eyes almost popped out of his head, and his voice was full of sourness and envy, "Sister Lingling, your luck is so bad! Upgrading the same soul ring twice in a row?!" He felt that his three purple soul rings were no longer fragrant.
Ye Lingling was speechless. She looked down at the circle of light under her feet, which was obviously the first soul ring with strong light and profound heritage for two hundred years. She felt a feeling she had never experienced before.
(So cool!!)
Only the last blind box is left. Ye Lingling's heartbeat was as fast as a drum. With an almost dreamlike feeling, she stretched out her trembling fingers and pointed at the last box.
Click! Buzz!
This time, the light from the opening of the box did not wrap around the whole body, but turned into a condensed, crimson stream of light. Like a small snake with life, it instantly disappeared into Ye Lingling's eyebrows with a "swish" sound!
"Uh!" Ye Lingling grunted, and his body involuntarily took a half step back. A look of pain and confusion instantly appeared on his cold face. A large amount of completely unfamiliar information flowed into her mind like a bursting flood! It is a complex method about flame manipulation, energy condensation, and trajectory operation!
“Ling Ling!” Hu Liena exclaimed subconsciously.
"What's going on?" Salas stood up abruptly, and the title Douluo's perception instantly enveloped Ye Lingling, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
However, the look of pain on Ye Lingling's face only lasted for a short moment, and was immediately replaced by a kind of extreme shock and disbelief! She opened her eyes suddenly, and in those clear ice-blue eyes, there seemed to be a flash of red flame runes!
She raised her right hand almost instinctively, and her slender white fingers quickly formed seals in a mysterious and slightly jerky trajectory!
A hot, explosive breath gathered crazily towards her mouth!
"Fire...fireball?!" Yan screamed, her eyes almost falling to the ground!
"Self-created soul skills?!" Saras's voice changed its tone and was filled with unprecedented horror! As a Contra, he has such vicious eyes! This is definitely not a skill given by any soul ring. This is a brand new way of using energy that has never appeared on Douluo Continent! It is a true self-created soul skill! Moreover, being mastered by a healing soul master in an instant? !
Hu Liena and Xieyue were also completely speechless, with extreme shock written on their faces! Opening the blind box can reveal "self-created soul skills"? ! This is completely beyond their understanding of the word "opportunity"!
Ye Lingling felt the strongest at this moment! She felt the terrifying energy contained in it, which was enough to incinerate ordinary great soul masters, and she felt as if she was in the most absurd dream! She, Jiu Xin Begonia Ye Lingling, a pure, powerless healing soul master, at this moment actually condensed an offensive fireball! This subversive sense of power made her soul tremble!
"The Art of Fireball!" Ling Ye's calm voice sounded at the right time, as if introducing a trivial gadget, "Try...spit it out and see?"
Ye Lingling seemed to be waking up from a dream. She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and subconsciously scanned the crowd with her eyes, finally settling on Yan who was closest to her and had the highest resistance to flames in the room.
"Yan...Senior! Be careful!" Her cold voice was filled with a hint of nervousness and eagerness to try.
“Come! Come to me! Let me feel it!” Instead of being afraid, Yan rubbed his hands excitedly and stepped into the empty space in the center of the quiet room. Red flames rose around his body, and the shadow of the granite giant loomed. He took a defensive posture, and his face was full of curiosity and expectation.
Ye Lingling took a deep breath, and her eyes suddenly became focused! Following the clear path imprinted in her mind, she fiercely spit out the extremely unstable red fireball in her mouth towards Yan!
「The art of the huge fire ball!」
Boom——!
The red fireball turned into a huge flaming fireball with a diameter of more than one meter, carrying a roaring heat wave and a destructive aura, like a roaring flaming meteorite, and hit Yan hard!
“Well done!” Yan shouted, not dodging or dodging, but simply crossing his arms burning with flames in front of him to protect him!
Bang——! ! !
The deafening explosion sounded in the quiet room! The violent flame energy was like a blooming red lotus, swallowing Yan's figure instantly! The red tongue of fire licked Yan's lava defense crazily, making a "sizzling" burning sound! The scorching air wave swept across, and even Salas raised his hand slightly, laying down an invisible soul barrier to protect the furnishings in the room.
The fire lasted for several breaths before slowly dissipating.
Yan stood there, with obvious scorch marks left on the lava arm armor covering his crossed arms, and there were even slight cracks in some places! He shook his numb arms, his eyes full of surprise and admiration!
“Good guy! That’s enough!” Yan grinned and shook his arm that was numb from the shock. Looking at the clear black marks and tiny cracks on the arm armor, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, “This power! It’s definitely enough. A second-level attack spirit master struck with all his strength!
He walked half a circle around Ye Lingling and exclaimed: "Hey, dear, if your own martial spirit is of the fire attribute, the power of this fireball cannot be greater than that!" Doubling it? Can it burn through brother's lava armor? A self-created soul skill... This is too outrageous!" Yan's tone was full of naked envy and hatred, and he looked at Ling Ye with a look that looked like a hungry wolf. Flesh Bones, "Ling Ye! I want it too! Give me such a cool self-created soul skill!"
"No! From now on you are my brother! My dear brother! As long as I can create a self-created soul skill!"
The horror on Bishop Salas's face has long since turned into solemnity and thoughtfulness. He stepped forward slowly, and carefully scanned Ye Lingling with his powerful mental power, confirming that there was no abnormality in the flow of soul power in her body, but that only about 30% of it was consumed.
"Ye Lingling!" Hu Liena's voice was decisive, with unquestionable pressure, "You have opened four blind boxes! You have felt the increase in soul power, the soul ring has been strengthened twice every year, and you have even obtained a priceless self-created soul. Skill! Ling Ye’s share of the blind box has been exhausted! Now, tell me your choice!” Her pair of fox eyes, as sharp as knives, locked onto Ye Lingling, “Join the Spirit Hall! These opportunities will be the starting point for you to reach the peak of power! Otherwise…”
You can hear a needle drop instantly in a quiet room. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Lingling.
Huge pressure is coming like a mountain. Salas's scrutiny, Hu Liena's questioning, Yan's curiosity, Xie Yue's coldness, and Ling Ye's calm eyes... Ye Lingling felt it was a little difficult to breathe.
"I..." Ye Lingling raised her head, with a hint of paleness and struggle on her cold face. Her eyes subconsciously glanced at Ling Ye's calm face again, as if looking for some kind of confirmation or courage. Finally, she took a deep breath and said with an imperceptible tremor in her voice:
"Sister Hu Liena, Bishop Salas... and classmate Ling Ye. Thank you for allowing me to experience this... incredible opportunity. Everything tonight has a great impact on me. I need... I need to go home and discuss it with my parents." She paused, looked at Hu Liena's slightly frowned brows, and quickly added, with an unprecedented firmness in her tone. Dinghe expects: "Please believe me! I believe my parents know what I experienced tonight and understand the significance of it... They will definitely understand and agree! Tomorrow... tomorrow morning, I will definitely give you a clear answer! Is that okay?"
Her eyes were clear and sincere, with a kind of all-or-nothing sincerity.
Hu Liena looked deeply at Ye Lingling, her fox eyes flickering, as if she was weighing the pros and cons. Finally, the corner of her lips raised a meaningful arc and nodded: "Okay. Sister Lingling, we believe in your sincerity and look forward to your wise choice. Tomorrow, Wuhun will divide the hall and wait for good news."
Bishop Salas also nodded slightly: "Miss Ye, please do so. I hope to hear good news tomorrow."
