The cool moonlight shone on the ground, not allowing the world to appear dark. In the courtyard, the fountain gurgled, the sound of water flowing particularly loud in the silent night.
Amon sat on an elegant and luxurious high-backed chair, legs crossed, leaning back with his eyes closed as if dozing off.
Yan Jin stealthily opened the door, poking her head in, "Amon, did you want to see me?"
Looking at her thieving behavior, Amon already had a premonition that she had likely done something stupid again.
Sure enough, before he could speak, Yan Jin had already confessed:
"I really didn't do it on purpose this time, who knew those two Soul Masters were so fragile, I didn't even use a Soul Skill, one punch each and they were in the hospital."
"Do you think I would care about such trivial matters?" Amon said calmly.
"Oh, oh, you're right." Yan Jin patted her chest, which was beginning to show some shape, and relaxed, "Then what's up?"
"How much Soul Refining Grass do you still have?" Amon knew that Walter would provide Yan Jin with one kilogram of Soul Refining Grass each month to help her cultivate.
This was also the largest expenditure of all of Walter's sponsorships.
If Yan Jin had more than three kilograms, Amon would directly exchange it with her for the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd; if not, he would go to Walter.
Although with the second method, the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd might not necessarily reach Yan Jin's hands, he would not wait specifically for that.
Yan Jin took out a somewhat old, dark red small bag from her Space Ring, which Amon had bought for her and she had been using since her time at the Icewind Elementary Soul Master Academy.
"Hehe, look!" Yan Jin handed the bulging bag to Amon, "I secretly saved it, I just felt that you might need this stuff."
Amon picked up the small bag and estimated the weight. There were about four kilograms of Soul Refining Grass inside. After a moment of silence, he said:
"Then let's trade, I'll use this to exchange for your Soul Refining Grass."
He took out the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.
In an instant, the room was filled with the fragrance of medicine. Yan Jin felt her martial soul stirring, as if instinctively craving it.
Just judging from the fragrance, she understood that the quality of this golden gourd was definitely far superior to the Snow Lotus that Walter gave her.
"Amon, what about you?" Yan Jin swallowed, restraining the desire in her heart.
"Trade or not?" Amon adjusted his monocle and said with a light smile.
"Trade, trade." Yan Jin hurriedly nodded, hugging the big gourd, "Remember to return the small bag to me, and also, how do I eat this thing?"
"Just eat it directly, your martial soul is very compatible with it."
Yan Jin did not hesitate and immediately began to gnaw on it.
Amon took out the herbs from the dark red small bag and guarded Yan Jin nearby.
He extended his soul power outwards, covering the entire house, then materialized it, and then activated the first soul ring's skill, "Steal", stealing the soul power expression within the soul power shield, so that Yan Jin's soul power fluctuations when absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd could not be transmitted to the outside world.
After several hours, a hint of fish-belly white appeared in the eastern sky, night had passed, and day had arrived.
Yan Jin finally withdrew from her refining state, opened her eyes, and looked at Amon. She said somewhat uncertainly:
"I… I seem to be level 49? And it seems that breaking through to level 50 isn't too far away either."
Previously, she had already reached level 43 by absorbing soul rings beyond her age limit, and now absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd had increased her level by six.
At this moment, even she herself felt it was a bit outrageous. She had just advanced to the Soul Ancestor realm, and it seemed that she would be able to advance again soon.
Feeling the abundant power in her body, she looked at Amon with glowing eyes, revealing an eager expression:
"Amon, I remember you seem to be only level 45, right? I'm higher than you…"
Seeing her like this, Amon knew that her skin was itching again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"What, want to try?"
"Yes!"
They came to the training ground in the backyard. Bi Da'er had made some modifications to this property before, specifically adding a training ground, in order to satisfy Yan Jin's overly vigorous energy, so as to prevent her from tearing down the house at every turn.
Boom…The surging soul power emerges from Yan Jin's body, the Magmaa Martial Soul appeared in her hand, accompanied by rising flames and black smoke, and rolling heat waves spread in all directions.
Bi Da'er woke up suddenly, subconsciously looking out of the window, saw Yan Jin in the training ground, and then cursed and burrowed back into the quilt:
"Damn it, what's all the noise so early in the morning…"
But soon he realized that something seemed a bit off. He hurriedly got up again, felt Yan Jin's aura, and his eyes were filled with surprise and doubt:
"Soul… Soul Ancestor? And doesn't seem like someone who just entered the Soul Ancestor realm…"
"Great Fireball!" Yan Jin confidently held the huge lava fist and rushed towards Amon.
Amon smiled, reached out his hand and grabbed forward, using the recently acquired fourth soul skill, the active part of "Prometheus", "Soul Skill Stealing".
He did not activate the third soul skill "Insight" to cooperate with it, because what he wanted to steal was Yan Jin's first soul skill.
He was very familiar with the "Soul Power Condensation" skill, and the ring count was low, so there was almost no possibility of failure.
Yan Jin was shocked to find that her first soul skill had subsided, and her martial soul began to be out of her control.
The huge lava fist scattered into a ball, and in the end, only a thin layer of arm armor remained attached to her arm, still under her control.
How could she fight like this? Yan Jin was dumbfounded.
"Uh… this… that…" She braked suddenly and stopped in front of Amon.
Without giving her time to talk nonsense, Amon kicked her in the stomach, kicking her away.
Yan Jin slid a long way on the ground, holding her stomach, and only stopped at the edge of the training ground.
Amon didn't hold back too much strength anyway, Yan Jin had grown up being beaten or beating others since she was a child, and she was very sturdy… and now she had eaten the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, making her even more resistant to beatings.
Yan Jin got up, complaining bitterly, looking at Amon with a panicked expression:
"What did you do? Why can't I use my soul skill anymore?"
"This is my ability." Amon didn't explain too much, "Don't panic, you'll be able to use it in a day."
"Oh… I see." Yan Jin felt empty in her heart. The inability to use the first soul skill made her feel very uncomfortable. Without hesitation, she said very decisively:
"I surrender."
"Heh…" Amon chuckled softly, not feeling surprised. He returned Yan Jin's skill.
Yan Jin felt the silent soul ring light up again, and she could use it again. The emptiness in her heart disappeared.
"What kind of weird soul skill is this again? Why do I feel that all your soul skills are completely different in style from other people's?" Yan Jin couldn't help but complain.
"But it's very useful, isn't it… By the way, don't tell Walter about the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd or the fact that your soul power level is already 49 within a week." Amon instructed.
"Okay." Yan Jin nodded.
Bi Da'er, who was looking down from his room, rested his chin on his hand. Just now, Yan Jin's dazzling four soul rings made him dizzy, and the fourth soul ring was black!
Not long ago, he was still complacent about being level 38 and hoping to become a Soul Ancestor before the opening of the Soul Master Competition.
At this time, he felt a bit of inexplicable loss. Anyone who gets along with such a "monster" will feel a bit out of place.
