Chapter 14: The Second-in-Command of Chang'an City, Prison Master Sikong Zhen Makes His Debut!
"No need, let's just sit and wait and see."
Ye Han decided not to compete, shaking his head and saying:
"I will take action myself when the time is right."
With the exposure of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo will definitely move the immortal herbs immediately.
There's no need to worry about the remaining Yin-Yang dual spring water and the Dragon King's remains buried underneath.
Both the extremely cold Yin Spring and the blazing Yang Spring possess extreme attributes, and even the strongest beings in the outside world dare not easily come into contact with them.
No matter which faction occupies it, it cannot be taken away; at most, it can be used for planting and cultivation in the surrounding area.
"Yes, I will follow the Lord's arrangements."
Shangguan Wan'er always obeyed Ye Han's every word, and even if she had something on her mind, she didn't intend to say anything more.
Suddenly, a rumbling thunderclap resounded, accompanied by terrifyingly powerful lightning.
"Boom!"
A tall figure clad in black armor descended like a god amidst the swirling lightning.
The surrounding air was instantly stirred up by this thunderous power, displaying its domineering and majestic nature.
"Lord Sikong, what brings you here?"
Shangguan Wan'er's expression changed slightly.
Indeed, this is none other than Lao Da Sikong Zhen from Honor of Kings.
Possessing the divine-level martial soul 'Five Thunder Drums', he is a powerful attack-type Title Douluo, titled 'Thunder'!
He is currently the third-in-command of Chang'an City, and is associated with Ye Han's strongest ninth spirit ring.
Therefore, he is one of the strongest combatants in Chang'an, possessing the strength of a level 99 Limit Douluo!
"I have come for the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."
Sikong Zhen's voice boomed like thunder as he respectfully addressed Ye Han:
"Lord City Lord, Zhen believes we should act immediately to seize the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and bring it back for Chang'an's use!"
Ye Han didn't speak, but instead glanced at Shangguan Wan'er beside him.
Shangguan Wan'er understood immediately and repeated what Ye Han had just said.
She had been with Ye Han the longest and guessed the reason why he wasn't going, so she told him.
After she finished speaking, Ye Han said calmly, "..."
"Unless you can give me a reasonable reason that will convince me."
Sikong Zhen's eyes were resolute, and his voice, like a thunderclap, suddenly rang out:
"Zhen believes that moving these peerless treasure basins to Chang'an would allow their dual-polarity to stimulate the production of medicinal herbs, benefiting the people of Chang'an. If they fall into the hands of other forces, there is a high probability of unforeseen changes, so they should be brought under control immediately!"
"Moreover, its extreme dual-polar power, although not of the same origin as the thunderous origin of the 'Five Thunder Drums' martial soul, can corroborate each other. Thunder is yang, and lightning is yin. The blazing yang spring can amplify the domineering power of lightning, while the extremely cold yin spring can quench the violence in lightning, allowing Zhen to advance even further!"
"The exposure of Chang'an is a foregone conclusion. The earthquake must become even stronger to protect Chang'an for thousands of years to come!"
Shangguan Wan'er found this reasonable, and her red lips parted slightly:
"Lord City Lord, Wan'er also believes that we should seize this opportunity as soon as possible. It is a double opportunity for Chang'an, as it can both strengthen the foundation of people's livelihood and help improve combat power."
Ye Han shook his head helplessly and finally agreed:
"Very well, then so be it. Wan'er, go and summon 'Hua Mulan' and 'Kai' to see me."
As the lord of a city, Ye Han naturally wouldn't take action personally.
It's fine to let him recruit ordinary soul beasts, but forget about him doing hard work to compete for treasures.
Before Shangguan Wan'er could respond, Sikong Zhen spoke first:
"Lord City Lord, Zhen insists on going there personally!"
Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback and asked:
"Lord Sikong, are you traveling alone? Do you need someone to accompany you?"
Sikong Zhen shook his head, his voice like thunder:
"Zhen, one person is enough!"
Ye Han felt that sending one of Chang'an's strongest fighters was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
"Then so be it. I will condense a container for you that can relocate the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Han gathered his hands together and summoned the Ark Core Martial Soul.
As the core martial soul of the Ark emerged, Ye Han's aura instantly changed.
At this moment, he was like a creator who created all things and held the power to govern the laws of the world!
Nine dazzling spirit rings rose one by one: red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, gold!
The Ark's core martial soul does not require the acquisition of soul rings; these soul rings are formed automatically upon reaching a certain level.
Sikong Zhen is the only one among the nine companion heroes to possess a god-level martial soul, precisely because his ninth soul ring is gold.
If other spirit rings are upgraded to gold in the future, the quality of other heroes' martial spirits may also be improved.
Moreover, the Ark's core martial soul has two passive abilities, or more accurately, two domains.
One of them is the 'Universal Divine Sense Domain', which grants an additional 200% vision and attack range.
After the base range was increased, Ye Han could see everything happening inside and outside Chang'an City.
Shangguan Wan'er subconsciously took a half step back.
She had seen it countless times before, yet she was still awestruck by this indescribable aura!
A sense of awe flashed instinctively in Sikong Zhen's eyes.
His ultimate thunderous power, like the Five Thunderclaps, appeared as insignificant as dust before the power of the laws at the core of the ark!
"Second Soul Skill, Divine Radiance - Fusion!"
Ye Han's second soul ring lit up; this soul skill was roughly the same as Nuwa's second skill in Honor of Kings.
It forms a huge square phantom space that cannot withstand attacks, but can block any living thing considered an enemy from passing through.
The number of spatial blocks created and the time it takes for them to dissipate increase with the increase of soul power, and these spatial blocks can be manipulated to collide and surge together!
"Buzz—"
Ye Han shrunk the spatial cube he had created to the size of a palm and said authoritatively:
"Sikong Zhen, once you arrive at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, simply place it in the center of the spring, and it will cause the spring water to be compressed and sealed inside."
"In addition, bring back the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings buried thousands of feet underground; those are the most valuable items!"
Sikong Zhen stepped forward, took the suspended cube of space with both hands, and his voice was like muffled thunder:
"Zhen, we will not fail in our mission!!"
After speaking, Sikong Zhen transformed into a bolt of lightning, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
Shangguan Wan'er gazed at the fading traces of lightning on the horizon, then slowly looked up at the golden sky and whispered:
"With Lord Sikong personally leading the way, the trip is sure to be successful. I wonder which faction will be next on the list?"
...
Soto City, Shrek Academy.
"This world actually has a Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!"
Tang San looked at the content displayed on the screen and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Hey, mistress, you know? How did you find out?"
Ma Hongjun and the others immediately surrounded him, asking questions with curiosity.
Tang San's heart tightened; he had accidentally let something slip and didn't know how to explain.
Zhao Wuji guessed:
"Perhaps it was the master who told him? After all, the master knows everything."
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, then put on his usual arrogant expression and cleared his throat:
"Indeed, it's just a mere Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. How could I, this master, not know it?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San nodded repeatedly as if he had seen a savior.
They pinned all the blame on him to avoid revealing the secret of his two lifetimes.
Ma Hongjun and the others immediately looked enlightened and surrounded Yu Xiaogang, pressing him for answers:
"Master, what is the difference between the immortal herbs nurtured by the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and ordinary medicinal herbs?"
Yu Xiaogang's arrogant smile froze instantly, leaving him in an awkward and flustered state.
