"Exactly! It's an explosion like art!"
A mocking smile played on Ye Tian's face as he spoke, simultaneously creating a Bursting Pill in his hand.
Without hesitation, he threw it toward the distant cliff.
A flash of blue light passed by.
Boom——!
A deafening explosion erupted in everyone's ears, causing rock layers to crumble and thick dust to billow up.
Jin Yue'er couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
Gradually, terror began to surface in her eyes.
The others fell completely silent as they witnessed the destructive power, their faces numb with shock.
Only Dugu Xin wore an expression of discomfort.
He had nearly been defeated by even Brother Ye Tian!
As a level 52 Soul King,
Dugu Xin could clearly judge that the power of Ye Tian's pill had already surpassed the Fifth Soul Skill of a Soul King!
It was even more powerful than some weak Soul Emperors' single Sixth Soul Skills.
Truly terrifying!
As for why Dugu Xin still believed he could secure victory,
that was naturally because
the outcome between Soul Masters was never determined by comparing the power of a single soul skill.
Ye Tian's Third Soul Skill came from the 27,000-year cultivation Magma Ape King, making it exceptionally unique and extraordinarily powerful.
But this didn't mean
Ye Tian could easily defeat a Soul King, let alone a Soul Emperor.
After all, Soul Kings and Soul Emperors didn't possess only one soul skill. When a Soul Emperor or Soul King used their other earlier soul skills to enhance their combat abilities, Ye Tian's explosive power would become somewhat inadequate.
Even so,
the power of Ye Tian's Third Soul Skill could surpass the full output of many Power Attack Soul Kings!
Simultaneously,
this was what shocked everyone present, except for Jin Yue'er...
"Ah——!"
Jin Yue'er abruptly closed and reopened her mouth, letting out a terrified scream.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die... Ye Tian!"
"Quick, quick, help me get it out!"
"Ah, ugh——!"
Jin Yue'er was speaking incoherently, panicking without thinking.
Not daring to waste any time,
she immediately bent over and put her fingers deep into her throat, trying to induce vomiting.
"Ugh——!"
"Pfft, hahaha..."
Watching Jin Yue'er's panicked state, Ye Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Yue'er, who told you to be in such a hurry?"
"You're still laughing!"
Jin Yue'er retched twice, then looked up and glared at Ye Tian with reproach.
She stepped forward
and tightly wrapped her arms around Ye Tian's waist.
"If you don't help me get it out, I'll make us both explode together!"
"Haha... it's impossible to get it out now."
Ye Tian looked down at Jin Yue'er from his height, his smile never fading.
"No matter what, you can't use me as a firecracker! I'm your teammate, and my grandfather is watching!"
Jin Yue'er hugged Ye Tian tightly, wriggling her body.
The sight made Qian Renxue's forehead continuously develop black lines, her expression turning unfriendly.
Covering her forehead, she stepped forward and raised her hand before bringing it down—
Smack!
There was no sight of youthful buttocks swaying, only the clear sound of a painful cry.
"Ah!"
While feeling the pain, Jin Yue'er held onto Ye Tian's waist and performed two moves resembling a dog relieving itself,
her slender legs kicking backward repeatedly.
Then she looked at Qian Renxue with her light golden eyes glistening with tears.
With confusion in her eyes, she said pitifully:
"Sister Xue~ Yue'er didn't touch you, why are you hitting me again?"
"???"
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
It seemed he had realized just who was responsible for the injury around Jin Yue'er's eyes.
"Hmph!"
Qian Renxue crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
"I just wanted to remind you to sober up. Xiao Tian wouldn't actually take your life."
"Hmm~"
Jin Yue'er was momentarily stunned, then immediately reverted to her playful, cheeky demeanor.
She laughed as if it were a serious matter.
"Haha~ Of course I know that. How could Ye Tian ever bear to kill little old me?"
As she spoke,
Jin Yue'er pressed her face against Ye Tian, rubbing against him gently like a cat.
"What if I really do want to finish you off?"
Ye Tian watched Jin Yue'er's wriggling form, his eyebrow twitching in annoyance as he retorted:
"You should know, the explosive effect is what I actually planned for the Soul Skill. The enhancement was just an accident."
Before he even finished speaking,
Ye Tian produced another fiery red Bursting Pill and held it before Jin Yue'er's eyes.
Clearly, there was a hint of threat in his action.
But Jin Yue'er wasn't having any of it, and Qian Renxue's eye twitched.
Under her watchful gaze,
"Ah-woo!"
Jin Yue'er directly opened her mouth and chomped down on Ye Tian's hand along with the pill, skillfully using her soft, moist lips to roll the pill away from his fingertips.
"Uh, this..."
Ye Tian stared at his now empty hand, glistening with a bit of moisture,
the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
"Munch~ munch~"
Jin Yue'er swallowed the pill, then straightened up and bumped against Ye Tian's body,
her face full of arrogance and conceit.
"If you want to do it, then do it to me~ Go on, finish me off hard!"
"Stop, stop, stop! I'm done playing..."
Ye Tian raised both hands to block Jin Yue'er's face, unable to handle this female rogue's bold advances, and said with utter exasperation:
"It was just a joke, don't get all indecent on me."
"Haha..."
"I knew you couldn't bear to kill me."
Jin Yue'er giggled, rising on her tiptoes and wrapping her arms around Ye Tian's neck.
When her eyes met his dark ones,
her pale golden eyes couldn't help but reveal a dazed, intoxicated pleasure.
Sister Xue is really not very capable, huh~
"Yue'er~"
Qian Renxue frowned.
At this moment, she actually couldn't tell whether Yue'er was truly foolish or just pretending to be.
Her somewhat irritated Purple Eyes turned toward Ye Tian...
carrying a trace of resentment.
As if urging him to do something about the seductress in his arms!
Since her confession,
the possessiveness in Qian Renxue's heart had been steadily rising!
But her upbringing and inherent reserve since childhood...
left her somewhat helpless in the face of this situation.
If it were any other woman,
she might have long since drawn her sword and charged over!
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. No matter how conflicted she felt inside, she knew...
she absolutely had to do something about this!
"Ahem..."
Ye Tian, meeting Qian Renxue's gaze, immediately understood.
He had no choice but to reach out and push Jin Yue'er away.
At the same time, he brought up serious matters.
"Alright, Yue'er, let's stop fooling around. Stand properly now! Once I make some adjustments, I'll start refining Pills for you."
"Refining Pills?"
Jin Yue'er's eyes sparkled with excitement as she cheered:
"Does that mean in a couple of days, I can break through to Soul Grandmaster?"
"Exactly!"
"Awesome! I finally get to have some medicine too!"
Jin Yue'er raised her arms and cheered exuberantly.
No matter how little she usually cared about cultivation, seeing Ye Tian and Qian Renxue's rapid progress had left her feeling somewhat unbalanced.
Now, at last, things could be a bit easier for her too...
Jin Yue'er knew when to stop. After releasing Ye Tian, she promptly put some distance between them.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he said with a cheerful smile:
"Is this better? Giving you enough space to adjust!"
"More than enough."
Ye Tian nodded with a smile.
Just as he was about to lower his head to straighten his clothes that had been rumpled by Jin Yue'er, a graceful figure swept toward him on a fragrant breeze, forcefully grabbing his collar by the lapels!
