"Obtain three soul rings within two and a half days?"
"And the total year limit must not be less than 15,000 years?!"
Such harsh conditions left Ye Han momentarily stunned.
This meant that the first soul ring would have to be several thousand years old.
"If you make good use of my physique, this second trial will be much easier."
At that moment, the Dragon God's eyes lit up, and Ye Han was sent back to reality.
As soon as he returned to reality, Ling Yuan's concerned voice reached him:
"Little Han, what's wrong? Are you tired?"
Ye Han quickly shook his head in response:
"Ah... no, no."
Only then did Ling Yuan feel reassured. She smiled and said:
"Let's go. The clothing store is just ahead."
Ye Han nodded, his mind still preoccupied with the Dragon God's second trial.
It seemed he would have to ask Sister Ling Yuan about whale glue later.
Whether whale glue could awaken the Sacred Body or not, he had to get his hands on it.
Whale glue was a great supplement even for ordinary physiques, as it could increase the year limit of soul rings one could absorb.
Without enhancing his physique, there was no way he could absorb higher year limit soul rings and complete the second trial.
As time passed.
Ling Yuan bought clothes for Ye Han, and they began heading back to her residence.
On the way back, unable to contain his curiosity, Ye Han suddenly asked:
"Sister Ling Yuan, do you know about whale glue?"
Ling Yuan was momentarily stunned, then her face turned red as she scolded:
"Who told you about this? Children shouldn't be asking about such things!"
Her tone carried a hint of reproach, but Ye Han could sense the shyness behind it.
This wasn't surprising. Whale glue, a special supplement derived from sea spirit beasts, had strong nourishing properties.
It could replenish the body's nutrients and energy, improving physical functions.
In Douluo Dalu 2, the protagonist Huo Yuhao ate a piece of 10,000-year whale glue, which increased the year limit of soul rings his body could withstand to over 2,000 years.
However, only high-year-limit whale glue had such miraculous effects. Low-year-limit whale glue had much weaker effects and couldn't achieve the same results.
After consuming low-year-limit whale glue, the body would experience excessive yang energy and heat, which was why it was often used as an aphrodisiac.
The whale glue sold on the market was mostly low-year-limit, so Sister Ling Yuan likely thought he didn't understand and misunderstood his intentions.
"No... that's not it."
Ye Han quickly shook his head, blinking his big eyes as he explained:
"Sister Ling Yuan, you've misunderstood. I want to use whale glue to improve my physique."
"Do you know where I can get high-year-limit whale glue? Can you help me get some?"
Hearing this, Ling Yuan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise:
"Oh? You little rascal, you actually know about the miraculous effects of whale glue?!"
But then she thought that perhaps Ye Han had heard about it from somewhere, so she didn't dwell on it. She smiled and said:
"Well, you've asked the right person. Back when I was attacking Sea God Island, I happened to obtain a few pieces of whale glue. I've kept them until now."
"I'll give them to you when we get back, as a gift for becoming my disciple."
Ye Han recalled that in the original story, the Spirit Hall had indeed attacked Sea God Island. He asked excitedly:
"That's great! Sister Ling Yuan, what year limit are those pieces of whale glue?"
Ling Yuan pinched Ye Han's cheek and said with a smile:
"You'll find out when we get back. Let's just say the year limit isn't low~"
Ye Han was overjoyed. If even a Titled Douluo like Ling Yuan said the year limit wasn't low...
It must be at least several thousand years, right? Just thinking about it made him excited!
"Ah! Someone's killing people! Run!!!"
At that moment, a commotion broke out ahead.
The bustling street suddenly became chaotic.
A man holding a sharp blade was chasing civilians while roaring in anger:
"You damned lowly commoners, I'll kill all of you!"
Ye Han and Ling Yuan recognized the man and were stunned.
It was none other than the Soul Master from the Awakening Hall earlier.
It seemed he had been stripped of his soul power and expelled from the Spirit Hall.
Now, he seemed to have lost his mind and was trying to take revenge on society.
Ling Yuan frowned deeply. As an elder, her instincts told her to step in and stop him.
"Little Han, stay here and don't move. I'll go deal with that lunatic!"
Ling Yuan gently put Ye Han down and quickly rushed toward the chaos.
Ye Han obediently stayed where he was, watching her figure gradually disappear into the distance.
Suddenly, three figures darted out from the side like lightning.
They quickly headed toward the chaotic street, instantly catching Ye Han's attention.
The leader was a girl who looked to be about twelve years old.
She had a delicate and enchanting appearance, with smooth, short orange-gold hair.
She wore a flowing golden dress that accentuated her voluptuous figure.
As she ran, the dress swayed in the wind, revealing glimpses of her long, beautiful legs.
The two figures behind her were boys, one dressed in black and the other in red.
"Is that Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Liena?!"
"And her brother Xie Yue, and her simp, Yan?!"
Ye Han immediately recognized the three and was momentarily stunned.
It had to be said, Hu Liena's looks and figure were truly top-tier.
No wonder she was considered one of the three beauties of the Spirit Hall, alongside Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong.
Judging by their trajectory, they seemed to be heading to stop the crazed Soul Master as well.
Perhaps it was fate.
As she ran, Hu Liena suddenly noticed Ye Han.
Ye Han's small figure, standing alone without any adults nearby, made him particularly noticeable.
A sense of protectiveness naturally welled up in her heart.
"Why is that little boy alone over there? What if he gets hurt?"
Hu Liena thought to herself, then changed direction and ran toward Ye Han.
"Liena, where are you going?!"
Xie Yue and Yan both stopped and exclaimed, then followed her.
Hu Liena quickly reached Ye Han and put on a gentle smile:
"Little brother, why are you alone here? Where are your parents?"
Ye Han was momentarily stunned, not expecting her to suddenly approach him.
Seeing that Ye Han didn't respond, Hu Liena assumed he was scared.
She immediately bent down, picked him up gently, and comforted him:
"Don't be afraid, little brother. I'll take you to find your parents."
"Ah?!"
Ye Han was even more stunned as she suddenly held him in her arms.
Meanwhile, Xie Yue and Yan watched this scene.
Xie Yue didn't react much, but Yan was instantly consumed by jealousy and said angrily:
"Liena, don't bother with this damn brat! Our priority is to deal with the chaos over there!"
Hu Liena shot him a glare and scolded coldly:
"Can't you see how dangerous and pitiful it is for this little boy to be alone here?!"
With that, she ignored Yan and looked down at Ye Han, coaxing him:
"Little brother, I'll take you to a safe place first, okay?"
Ye Han nodded, but seeing Yan's expression, he felt a surge of anger.
What had he done to deserve being called a damn brat?!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and soon he came up with a plan for revenge.
Right under Yan's gaze, Ye Han buried his head in Hu Liena's chest and began to fidget.
Although Hu Liena wasn't as well-endowed as Ling Yuan, for her age, she was quite impressive.
"Ah?!"
Hu Liena's face turned red with embarrassment.
But she didn't think too much of it and, suppressing her discomfort, carried Ye Han away.
"Bastard! That damn brat actually buried his head in Liena's...!"
The simp Yan was completely furious and was about to chase after them.
But Xie Yue grabbed his shoulder and said helplessly:
"Seriously, man? He's just a kid. Are you really jealous of a child?!"
As Ye Han was carried further away, he stuck out his tongue at Yan, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
Yan was utterly enraged and swore to himself that if he ever encountered that brat again, he would make him pay.
