Chapter 16 First Soul Ring
But Lin Ye didn't. He hesitated, probably thinking about how to lie.
The three-eyed golden lion stared intently at Lin Ye. "Are you thinking about how to lie to me, aren't you?"
Huh? Lin Ye blinked. This guy didn't seem as stupid as she thought.
His slowness was tantamount to admitting his mistake.
"I knew it, my intuition was right, Lin Ye, it really was you."
The three-eyed golden lion pounced suddenly. Lin Ye reacted a little too slowly and was caught off guard, knocked to the ground by a large paw.
"Hey, what are you doing? Get your foot off me!"
Lin Ye struggled, but the claw on his back pressed down on him firmly.
The three-eyed golden lion grinned, "Hmph, weren't you so arrogant before? Where's your bravado now? All you do is whimper and chatter all day long, still as arrogant as ever?"
Lin Ye: "..."
Hearing this, Lin Ye knew perfectly well that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion must have learned all of this from him.
It's true, fortunes really do change!
"Hehe, that auspicious beast, let's talk this out. Let me get up first, okay?"
Knowing that he had bullied the Three-Eyed Golden Lion first, Lin Ye was not angry about his attitude towards the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"Isn't there an 18-style cat petting technique? Don't be a coward, get up, let's have an 18-round battle." The three-eyed golden lion said this, but one of its big paws was always pressing on Lin Ye's back.
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress simply watched from the sidelines without intervening.
Where the auspicious beast resides, the surrounding soul beasts grow at twice the normal rate. The chances of a 100,000-year-old soul beast breaking through its bottleneck increase by two times. This effect also applies to even more powerful soul beasts.
For this reason, auspicious beasts are very popular in the world of spirit beasts. All spirit beasts give way to them, pamper them, and grant their every request.
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were no exception; if possible, they would be happy to bring the auspicious beasts to the far north.
"Hey, you two, stop just watching the show and come help!" Lin Ye called out to the two women for backup.
The two women ignored them, pretending not to hear anything. They could also tell that the auspicious beast had no intention of harming Lin Ye.
Now, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was even more smug. "Hehehe, go ahead and scream, no one will help you even if you scream your lungs out."
Lin Ye: "..."
"Mythical Beast, have you thought this through? If you continue to target me like this, we've officially become enemies. Be careful, or I'll hang you up and whip you every day, and shave all your fur off."
Seeing that backing down wasn't working, Lin Ye started threatening him.
Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's imposing aura immediately weakened, and it felt somewhat apprehensive. The thought of its shaved head filled it with shame.
Feeling the pressure on his back lessen, Lin Ye knew the creature was scared, so he tried and broke free from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's suppression.
Lin Ye patted the dust off his clothes. "Why are you so vengeful? I was just joking with you before."
The three-eyed golden lion arrogantly turned its head away, thinking to itself, "This despicable fellow dares to threaten this auspicious beast! This auspicious beast will bring you endless misfortune!"
Knowing that this little devil was still sulking with him, Lin Ye didn't bother to provoke it further. He simply called to the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress to continue searching for a suitable soul beast.
Seeing this, the three-eyed golden lion trotted after it, "Hey, where are you going?"
"Go on a trip."
"Are you lying to me?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was immediately furious.
"Isn't that obvious? What else can a Soul Master do besides get Soul Rings in the Soul Beast Forest?"
Upon hearing this, the three-eyed golden lion blinked. "Isn't there one right there? Why bother looking for it?"
It goes without saying that what it was talking about was the Cyclops.
"Go play somewhere else and stop causing trouble." Lin Ye pushed away the big head that was leaning in, speechless. Why did this guy seem a bit clingy?
He naturally wouldn't absorb the Cyclops's spirit ring; the two attributes don't match.
"Hey, listen to me, just use it as your spirit ring, you definitely won't regret it."
No matter what it said, Lin Ye wouldn't listen. He instinctively felt that this guy was unreliable. He wanted to leave, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion opened its mouth and bit his sleeve to stop him from leaving.
"My intuition is never wrong, why don't you believe me?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said sullenly.
Seeing that it didn't seem to be joking, Lin Ye asked seriously, "Are you serious? Don't tell me you're teaching me to cripple myself. Let me tell you, you can be unreliable in other things, but you can't mess with me in this matter."
"Hmph, like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned its head away angrily.
Lin Ye: "..."
It seems this guy has learned quite a bit from me!
"Sister Yuki-onna, how many years of cultivation has that cyclops had?"
"3000."
3000 years, what a coincidence? Lin Ye glanced thoughtfully at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Rather than a coincidence, he felt that it was good luck brought to him by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is an auspicious beast, much like the protagonists who possess great fortune.
What's the use of having great luck? Some people jump off cliffs and are smashed to pieces, while others jump off cliffs and find secret manuals. The former cancel their registration and become legends.
Luck is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it truly exists.
Lin Ye now thought that he was probably being blessed by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
If you get close to the auspicious beast, you will be blessed by its good fortune.
Of course, there is a prerequisite: one must not be hostile to auspicious beasts, otherwise, not only will one not be favored by good fortune, but one will also suffer a series of misfortunes.
The Cyclops's attribute is a rare chaotic one, its nature unclear and subject to change at any time. Could it be that absorbing it will transform it into a mental attribute suitable for oneself?
That's not impossible.
Thinking that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wouldn't lie to him about this, Lin Ye ultimately chose to believe it after much hesitation.
Under Hyotei's control, the ice on the Cyclops's body rapidly melted away.
Even after thawing, the Cyclops could not escape; his body and even his internal organs had suffered severe frostbite under the extreme ice.
With a thud, the Cyclops collapsed to the ground, looking half-dead.
A 3000-year-old soul beast was so fragile and easily defeated by the Ice Emperor.
Lin Ye, carrying a longsword, approached the Cyclops's massive head and forcefully plunged it into its single eye. The sword pierced the eyeball and entered the brain.
This completely ended the Cyclops era.
Purple specks of light floated up from the Cyclops's body, and these specks of light gathered together in mid-air to form a purple ring.
This was his first spirit ring. Lin Ye felt a little excited, looking forward to what kind of spirit skills it would bring him.
Guided by his will, the purple thousand-year soul ring came above Lin Ye's head, slowly descended, and gently pulsated around his body.
Lin Ye sat cross-legged on the spot, his body suddenly trembled. The thousand-year soul ring was more powerful than he had imagined. The domineering and violent energy surged through his body, making Lin Ye feel like a pufferfish that was about to burst at any moment.
In this situation, all he could do was concentrate all his attention on absorbing the spirit rings.
