Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Even though this soul bone is recognized as the "Blood River Treasure" in the Martial Soul world, these people in front of them had just saved their lives and crushed the Extreme Ice Wolf King with overwhelming force...

Not to mention reaching out to fight for it, he didn't even dare to entertain the thought, for fear of causing a misunderstanding. He could only swallow the matter quietly and pretend he had never seen it.

"A 60,000-year-old right leg bone with clear patterns and full marrow is truly an unexpected delight."

Lin Quan glanced at it briefly, then flicked his wrist, and the soul bone disappeared into the mirror's space.

His expression was casual, as if he had only taken away an ordinary jade pendant.

Not only the soul bone, but when his gaze swept over the wolf king's corpse, with a slight thought, the entire cold corpse was silently and completely absorbed into his space.

Seeing that both the soul bones and the corpse had been taken away, the two beautiful women exchanged a glance. One of them bit her lower lip, hesitating to speak: "Seniors..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Quan waved his hand to interrupt, "If you want to leave, feel free to do so anytime."

"We will never forget your life-saving grace!"

"If you ever grace Tianshui City with your presence in the future, we will certainly treat you as an honored guest and spare no effort in your hospitality!"

The two bowed solemnly again, and without further hesitation, they turned and left quickly with several students, their figures soon disappearing into the snowy forest.

Watching them leave, Lin Quan finally managed a slight smile.

How could he not see through their little schemes?

He was simply afraid that his side would turn against him because of greed after seeing the soul bone burst out of the wolf king's body—as for those words of gratitude, he didn't take them to heart at all.

As I said before, our chance encounter in the frozen forest was fate; offering help was just a small favor.

But this casual act of helping him up resulted in Li Hanyi obtaining a compatible soul ring, allowing him to acquire a complete soul bone, and also conveniently taking away the cold corpse of a mutated wolf king!

shuh...

As soon as the group from Tianshui Academy left, the Soul Ring of the Extreme Ice Wolf King quietly appeared in mid-air like a band of light formed from frost and snow.

In the next instant, it transformed into a stream of light and suddenly disappeared into Li Hanyi's brow!

Five dark, ink-like soul rings rose up around her one after another—one ring, two rings… until the fifth ring fully bloomed!

"how?"

Before Lin Quan finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing, Wang Yuyan, Chen Xueru and the others all stared at Li Hanyi.

The first four soul rings had a calm color and restrained patterns; but the newly added fifth ring shone with a cold light, with tiny ice crystals seemingly moving around its edges, and faintly emitting a low-frequency humming sound—a closer look revealed the difference in quality.

"He's acquired a top-tier soul skill..."

Li Hanyi lightly stroked the scabbard with her fingertips, her voice clear and cold, "Although it is not a rule-based weapon, it is a genuine amplification weapon."

Once the Soul Skill is activated, the strength, reaction speed, and sword aura all double!

This is only the initial effect—once the soul ring is fully refined and its age increases, its explosive power will rise layer by layer, far exceeding this.

"Let's go further in."

She spoke concisely, and Lin Quan didn't say much either, only nodding to the women. The group immediately stepped forward.

In the latter half of the journey, the group slowed down their pace, but they did not encounter any more soul beasts that were compatible with Li Hanyi.

The chance encounter when I first entered the Frozen Forest seemed to have exhausted all my luck.

Most of the day had passed, and they had long since crossed the edge of the forest and officially entered the heart of the far north—yet they had not even encountered a suitable ten-thousand-year-old ice-attribute soul beast.

On the contrary, Chen Xueru succeeded one after another:

A 50,000-year-old ice silkworm spins its silk into blades;

A snow fox that has lived for 60,000 years leaves no trace in the snow;

The Mirror Beast, which has existed for nearly 70,000 years, can transform into countless forms.

"This is the true far north..."

Lin Quan looked up and around. The cold wind lashed his cheeks like a knife, and visible ice crystals and dust particles were suspended in the air.

The group exchanged glances, their expressions turning solemn.

The biting cold alone is enough to make it difficult for those below the Soul Saint level to move an inch.

Not to mention that the spirit beasts here are of the ice type, and with the advantage of the weather, their combat power has skyrocketed. Ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit beasts here are probably able to fight against old monsters of fifty or forty thousand years in the Star Dou Forest!

Fortunately, everyone had a solid foundation, and their true energy circulated like a furnace, spontaneously forming a protective heat barrier.

Although the cold was intense, it only formed a thin layer of frost on the outside of the robes, failing to penetrate even slightly.

Lin Quan's gaze swept over the crowd, paused briefly, and then reminded them in a deep voice:

"We can manage for now, but the deeper we go, the more we need to stay alert."

Chirp-!

Before the words were even finished, a piercing scream tore through the sky!

As everyone looked up, a giant eagle with a wingspan of over ten meters was circling below the clouds, its claws like hooks and its golden eyes locked on the ground below—clearly regarding them as prey!

"This hairy beast has quite an appetite."

Although the group was unfamiliar with the lineage of spirit beasts from the far north, they could discern their power and strength simply by sensing their aura:

It took more than 89,000 years, just a hair's breadth to break the 90,000 mark!

"Just when I was worried about not finding a target, it came to me all by itself."

Lin Quan exchanged glances with the women, and a sharp glint appeared on their lips at the same time.

Chirp-!

The eagle's cry rises again, its echo still lingering—

Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan have already shot into the sky like arrows released from a bow!

The spiritual power surged forth like an invisible tide, and the giant eagle's body suddenly stiffened, its wings frozen, as if it were an ice sculpture frozen in mid-air!

Just then, Wang Yuyan's fingertips trembled slightly, and the Frost Sword suddenly leaped into her palm, its blade gleaming with a layer of chilling frost.

The thought had barely formed when the longsword transformed into a silver streak, tearing through the air and piercing straight out.

puff--

In a flash, the sword light cleaved the sky like frozen rain, precisely grazing the base of the giant eagle's left wing.

With a crisp sound, the enormous wings covered in ice crystals were severed cleanly at the root! With its wings detached, the giant eagle lost its balance and tumbled, while Qiao Jingjing's mental power as a fourth-level awakened being was already like an iron chain around its throat, tightly strangling its last bit of struggle.

This wind and snow dual-attribute soul beast, which had lived for over 80,000 years, possessed immense cultivation, yet at this moment, even its cry was stuck in its throat, and it was crushed by the two women working together in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The giant eagle's carcass crashed into the snowfield, causing the accumulated snow to rise three feet into the air, cascading down like a waterfall.

Lin Quan, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others quickly gathered around, their boots shattering the thin ice as they exchanged glances.

The giant eagle's chest heaved weakly, its pupils were unfocused, and its breath was as faint as a thread, barely clinging to life.

Without a word, Li Hanyi lightly touched the ground with the tip of her sword, a flash of cold light, and cleanly severed the head.

"Hurry up and refine the soul ring; we'll protect you."

A jet-black spirit ring slowly rose from the corpse, its eerie light shimmering. Lin Quan nodded to her in acknowledgment. Li Hanyi didn't refuse, sat cross-legged, and guided the ring into her body.

In less than half an incense stick's time, all the soul rings had been fused into his bloodline.

After a short rest, the group set off again.

In the blink of an eye, three days have quietly slipped by—

Li Hanyi has already secured eight of the nine soul rings she needed; the eighth one, in particular, is a 100,000-year cultivation level!

Chen Xueru pressed on, completing her seven soul rings in one go, making her foundation even more solid.

As for Qiao Jingjing, Wang Yuyan, and Zhu Zhuqing, having broken through to the Grandmaster realm, they also condensed their respective eighth soul rings.

Although it is not yet 100,000 years old, the soul ring with 90,000 years of cultivation is still extraordinary. The soul skills it has acquired are all sharp and practical, which is impressive.
