Chapter 35: Han Lin, The Combination of Soul Bone and Soul Tool

Shu Yan protected Xu Jiujiu and moved slightly back. His mouth twitched, and he gained a more precise understanding of the so-called "insanity" of this Star Luo's number one soul master.

Those soul-guided cannons that appeared beside Han Lin were at least at the 7th-level. Although the power of this level of soul-guided cannon was not as good as fixed-shell soul-guided shells of the same level, the power was enough to easily blow up a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse. At the same time, among those dozens of cannon barrels, there was no lack of even more terrifying 8th-level soul-guided cannons...

If this Old Han really made a move right now, I'm afraid that within a few miles, everything would be affected. At that time, the impact caused would not just be something to talk about.

Xingyun Douluo's nine soul rings rose at her feet, brilliant starlight erupted around her, and violent soul power surged. It could be seen that Xingyun Douluo was truly angry.

In her early years, when she was still at the Soul Douluo cultivation level, Xingyun Douluo actually had interactions with Han Lin, and there was no small conflict between the two. Now that so many years had passed, although the conflict of that year was no longer a big deal, Xingyun Douluo still had dissatisfaction in her heart.

Women, when they hold a grudge, are very terrifying. This point, those who have experienced it all know...

After coming to his senses, Han Lin hurriedly retracted his martial soul and the numerous soul-guided cannon barrels, then cupped his hands and hurriedly said:

"Princess, this is a misunderstanding. My subordinate just happened to have some chaos in his mind, absolutely no intention of rebellion!"

Xu Jiujiu sighed helplessly and then said:

"Alright, Grandma Manyi, you know Old Han's personality and style of doing things. This matter is a misunderstanding, don't mention it again."

Getting Xu Jiujiu's signal, Xingyun Douluo snorted coldly, then slowly retracted her momentum and returned to her familiar appearance.

Han Lin swallowed, tucked all his messy hair behind his ears, revealing a slightly gloomy and aged face, and then cupped his hands again:

"I don't know what important matter brings the Princess here. I have been researching soul tools too hard recently, coupled with taking too many drugs, which made it difficult to control myself. I hope the Princess will forgive me..."

Xu Jiujiu's mouth twitched imperceptibly. She knew that this so-called Star Luo's number one soul master's obsession with soul tools had almost condensed into substance. Sometimes he even used drugs to stimulate his spirit to keep himself awake. The drawbacks to his spirit could be said to be inseparable from the use of drugs.

"It's fine, but I still need to remind Old Han: you are, after all, the leader among the Empire's soul masters. If you continue like this... forget it, I won't say it, you know it yourself."

Han Lin was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Why is he called a sane madman? The reason lies here. Apart from occasional madness and insanity, Han Lin is actually a very smart person. He has a very comprehensive and correct understanding of the situation and his own state. As for his body and spirit...

Sigh, better not talk about it.

Thinking of this, a dry smile appeared on Han Lin's face. He said softly:

"The Princess coming to find this old minister must be related to soul tools, otherwise, I really can't think of anywhere else I am worth the Princess's concern..."

Xu Jiujiu nodded, waved her hand to greet the shivering maid nearby to bring another wooden table and a few chairs, and then the four sat around. Han Lin's gaze finally fell on Shu Yan, who had not spoken yet.

"This young master is a new face, but why is the aura on his body a bit... strange?"

Han Lin stared at Shu Yan, as if he had discovered something interesting, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

"Cough, cough!"

Xu Jiujiu coughed at the right time, interrupting Han Lin's further investigation. She introduced: "This is my lover, named Shu Yan. Old Han, don't ask too much, there's no benefit..." Han Lin decisively retracted his spiritual power and then said: "Princess, please rest assured, I understand..."

Xu Jiujiu: Hesitant. jpg Although she didn't know what Han Lin had understood, Xu Jiujiu still nodded gently. Then she looked at Shu Yan and said warmly: "A-Yan, you can tell Old Han your requirements completely. Old Han is completely one of our own and is completely trustworthy."

Shu Yan nodded gently. His gaze looked at Han Lin, and then he said in a low voice:

"Senior Han, the junior is here this time to ask you to craft a soul tool. The specific level is 8th-level."

Han Lin's expression also gradually became serious. For soul tools, he had a sacred and serious feeling that could not be described in words, even if crafting a 7th or 8th-level soul tool was not very difficult for him.

A faint light erupted from the blue ring on Shu Yan's hand. The next moment, a skull emitting an ice-blue aura suddenly appeared, and the surrounding temperature dropped slightly. This was exactly the skull produced by the ten-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon from before.

"Senior, please look. This is a skull from a ten-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon. Its quality and completeness are near perfect. What I need you to do is to craft it into a high-level soul tool. However, there are two additional requirements."

Han Lin's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing this soul bone, and his expression became excited.

You know, among the topics he was currently researching, there happened to be one on "the combination of soul bone and soul tool." He was suffering from not being able to find suitable materials, and as a result, Shu Yan took the initiative to send it to him. How could this not make him excited?

A skull produced by a ten-thousand-year top-tier soul beast! Such a precious existence could not be ignored even by the ten-thousand-year-old Shrek Academy. Such precious raw material almost instantly captured Han Lin's enthusiasm for research...

"No problem!"

"Don't say two requirements, even if it's ten or a hundred, I can completely agree to it. On this point, I swear by all my honor and love for soul tools, I will definitely not let you down."

Han Lin stood up almost without any hesitation, the bloodshot eyes in his pupils appearing due to the intense emotional fluctuation. Han Lin's entire temperament also underwent a huge transformation. The next moment, he reached out directly toward the soul bone in Shu Yan's hand.

Shu Yan shook his head with a laugh, then a flash of light appeared in his hand, and the ten-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon skull instantly disappeared. He said:

"Old Han, don't be in such a hurry. My requirements are very special. Although rare, they shouldn't be too difficult for you. You can listen to them first before making a conclusion."

Han Lin rubbed his hands, but still managed to calm himself down, then waited patiently for Shu Yan's follow-up.

Shu Yan cleared his throat and then said: "First, I need you to combine this soul bone with a soul tool. Remember, the final product can only be an auxiliary-type soul tool, and it must be an auxiliary-type soul tool that leans toward control or imprisonment."

"Second, the final product after the combination of the soul bone and the soul tool doesn't need to be exquisite, but it must be sturdy—sturdy in the literal sense. If possible, the metals and various accessories used also need to be top-tier. Of course, if Old Han is missing any raw materials, you can notify me and Jiujiu at any time, and we will solve it."

"Third, I need you to retain the resentment of the Titan Snow Demon remaining in this skull and fuse it with the finished soul tool, making it exist like a tool spirit. As for the reason, you don't need to ask, but I can tell you clearly that the purpose of doing this is not to do anything harmful. I think this point alone should be enough."

Shu Yan's requirements made Han Lin fall into deep thought for a while, especially the last requirement. For some reason, Han Lin's heart skipped a beat, as if something buried deep in his heart had been touched. After a long time, he said: "Little Friend Shu, your last requirement is not difficult, but I am truly in a difficult position..."
