While Yan Jin was entangled with the Flame King Dragon, Walter had already arrived. However, he didn't rush to attack, but instead observed from behind a tree.
He was both observing Yan Jin's performance when facing an opponent far stronger than himself, and secretly setting up an inescapable net with invisible threads to ensure the Flame King Dragon couldn't escape.
After all, this was a ten-thousand-year soul beast capable of flight. If it took to the sky, Walter, who wasn't a flying soul master, wouldn't have many good ways to capture it, even as a Soul Douluo.
"Meow…" The Flame King Dragon howled, and with a wave of its right claw, cherry-red flames suddenly exploded.
Subsequently, as if a chain reaction had occurred, continuous explosions rang out, instantly engulfing Yan Jin.
A cunning smile appeared on the Flame King Dragon's face. While controlling the flame attack, it was also scattering tiny flammable dust. When the range was large enough and it was certain the prey couldn't escape, it would detonate it.
Since it was a ranged attack, the damage wasn't high, but it was enough to hinder the opponent's movements for a moment.
It suddenly pounced forward.
Yan Jin had just released the hemispherical rock shield when he saw the Flame King Dragon rushing over like a hungry tiger.
Just as he was about to condense a "Magma Giant Soldier" for a desperate fight, he saw the Flame King Dragon's body suddenly stop in mid-air, a look of panic and fear on its face.
Invisible threads intertwined, restricting its movements.
As if invisible blades had slashed past, a pair of wings fell from the sky, and the Flame King Dragon let out a wail.
Subsequently, its limbs were also severed, its mouth was blocked, and streaks of blood appeared on its body.
In just a moment, the dying Flame King Dragon slid down the threads and landed in front of Yan Jin.
Walter walked out from behind the bushes with a smile: "Very good performance. Now, quickly kill it and absorb the soul ring."
This was the first time Yan Jin had seen Walter take action, and his face showed a hint of fear, "Old man, how did you do it? How did that big guy's body suddenly fall apart just now?"
Walter spread his right forearm flat, and a white ball of yarn appeared in his hand, looking like the kind ordinary people use to knit clothes.
He explained to Yan Jin: "This is my spirit, Yarn Ball. Combined with my soul skills, I can create invisible, extremely fine threads to attack.
"Originally, fire-attribute soul beasts like this one would be my nemesis, because the threads are easily ignited… but I am, after all, a Soul Douluo, and its foundation is still lacking."
"Oh… I see." Yan Jin nodded, condensed a long sword from magma, and then activated his third soul skill to lower its temperature.
He used the solidified stone sword to chop off the Flame King Dragon's head.
A black soul ring emerged from the bloody corpse, emitting a dark glow.
Yan Jin waved at the soul ring, using his soul power to guide it closer to his spirit. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the soul ring.
The surging energy and the resentment of the dying rushed in like a flood, but with the help of the Worm of Time, this didn't cause any trouble.
The energy was diverted, fitting perfectly within Yan Jin's tolerance limit, and the resentment was intercepted, submerged in endless whispers.
Several hours later, Yan Jin opened his eyes, a hint of joy on his face, "Haha, I succeeded!"
Amon, sitting on a tree branch, adjusted his monocle with his hand, "Having created such good conditions for you, if you still couldn't absorb it, you might as well go home and farm."
Walter, however, wasn't as calm as Amon, his joy no less than Yan Jin's, "Good, good, good… the fourth soul ring is a ten-thousand-year one, the future is limitless!"
"Child, what kind of ability did you obtain?" Walter asked.
"Just as Amon predicted, my fourth soul ring is a permanent ability that allows my magma to only burn the targets I want to burn…
"Hehe, old man, you don't have to worry about me causing damage and sending you a bunch of bills in the future."
Saying that, Yan Jin released his spirit, covering his right hand, and reached out to grab Walter's palm.
Walter didn't dodge, nor did he release his soul power to resist, just letting Yan Jin grab him.
He felt like he was holding a ball of mud, with a hint of warmth.
Amon jumped down from the tree branch and touched the magma. The warmth he felt made him understand that Yan Jin's fourth soul ring couldn't completely prevent heat loss, but only slowed it down to the point where it was almost negligible.
The trip to Sunset Forest ended perfectly. They didn't linger and immediately came to the nearest small city, preparing to rest briefly before returning to Beidi City.
As soon as they entered the city, Yan Jin pulled the two of them towards the nearest restaurant, "Serve the food, serve the food… bring all the best dishes!"
Walter looked at her energetic appearance, a kind and helpless smile on his face.
…
Amon's main body took two immortal herbs from the clone's hand. He casually placed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon on the table and picked up the dark purple Soul Solidifying Grass to examine it carefully.
He didn't eat it directly, because while the Soul Solidifying Grass makes the soul tougher, it also solidifies the soul power throughout the body. If eaten directly, it would only lead to the consumer's death, requiring a large amount of Soul Refining Grass to be used at the same time.
After taking the Soul Solidifying Grass, consume one kilogram of Soul Refining Grass to ensure the minimum flow of soul power. The next day, consume another one kilogram of Soul Refining Grass to make the slow circulation of soul power smoother.
On the third day, consume another one kilogram of Soul Refining Grass to completely resolve the soul power solidification phenomenon, restoring the flow speed to normal.
"Tsk… I still have to get at least three kilograms of Soul Refining Grass…" Amon adjusted his monocle and put the Soul Solidifying Grass into his spatial ring.
…
Beidi City, City Lord's Mansion.
A man wearing a red Dress, adorned with large golden patterns, with a neatly trimmed mustache above his lips and on his chin, was stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Damn it, do you know who I am? I am Earl Rhodes, how dare you stop me?" Golan said angrily.
"I'm sorry, Earl Rhodes, the City Lord is away on business, please return." Holmes walked out of the mansion and said politely but firmly.
"Is Cubero deliberately avoiding me?" Golan's tone softened slightly.
"Of course not. The City Lord has been gone for more than half a month. If there is any official business, you can speak directly to me, and I will discuss it with the Tax Officer and the City Lord's butler." Holmes said humbly but not subserviently.
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, if it is something within my scope of authority, I will definitely not shirk it."
"Hmph…" Ge Lan didn't continue to pester, and flicked his sleeve away unhappily.
"Captain Holmes, I heard that Earl Rhodes's inclinations have always been towards the Spirit Hall. What business would he have with the City Lord?" Behind Holmes, the captain of the guard squad asked, pinching his eye socket.
"I don't know. These nobles are all two-faced, who knows what their true stance is? These are not things we should consider." Holmes shook his head, saying indifferently.
