"Haha, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
Xiao Yan wiped the tears from his eyes, laughing as he patted Han Yu on the shoulder. Their earlier remark to Hu Liena and the others, "You're celebrating too soon," had already amused them greatly, so much so that they wanted to use it themselves later.
He didn't expect Han Yu to come out with this one. The other party had simply said, "Nice to meet you," as a polite gesture, but Han Yu had responded like this. What could they even say back?
Erina couldn't help but laugh either. She'd never seen anyone answer a question like that before. She'd seen people talk a conversation to death, but never someone who shut down the conversation before it even started, leaving no way to respond.
Were they really supposed to describe how happy they were? It was just a polite phrase to begin with, how could they describe it? Saying too much would seem fake, and saying too little would risk upsetting the other person. It was a complete trap.
"This guy's really interesting. I've never heard anyone answer like that before. I like it, I'm going to use that line to shut people up in the future," Ma Hongjun said with a laugh to the person beside him.
"You can say it, but you better consider whether you can handle a fight. Don't let them beat you down the moment you say it."
Dai Mubai retorted without holding back. Others could say this with confidence, but if Oscar said it, anyone with a temper would just beat him up. It was a complete provocation, a line that would shut people down.
"You're quite the comedian, young man." Snake Granny chuckled awkwardly. Seeing that Han Yu didn't seem interested in talking to her, she didn't press the issue and turned back to Zhao Wuji. "Let's continue resolving our matter."
No sooner had Snake Granny spoken than Han Yu jumped down from the tree, standing between the two groups. He said, "How about this? I'll give you both a chance. Tell me about your Soul Ring combinations. I'll help the stronger one, and the weaker one will just have to make do."
Xiao Yan and the others were puzzled, unsure why Han Yu was doing this. But they didn't pry and continued to drink cola and eat popcorn. With Han Yu getting involved, it was like they were watching a movie. They suddenly began to anticipate what would happen next.
"I'm a seven-ring Soul Sage. My Soul Ring combination is yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black." Zhao Wuji answered honestly. He didn't dare to defy Han Yu, and thankfully, the latter didn't seem to have any killing intent. Otherwise, getting killed in the Star Dou Great Forest would leave him with no recourse.
His Soul Ring combination was quite good, with three deep black ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. Once a Soul Ring reached ten thousand years, the enhancement it provided was far beyond what a thousand-year Soul Ring could offer.
"I am slightly weaker, my Soul Ring combination is yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black," Snake Granny thought to herself, this isn't good. If the decision was based on this, she was sure to lose. She quickly added, "My husband's name is Dragon Duke. He is an eight-ring Soul Douluo. If you help us, the Dragon-Snake Couple will definitely remember your kindness!"
Her intention to win him over was very clear. Having an eight-ring Soul Douluo-level powerhouse as her husband gave Snake Granny a significant advantage in trying to gain favor.
Han Yu nodded to himself. The next moment, light flashed in his hand, and a transparent card appeared in his palm. Looking at the card, he murmured, "So this is the Plunder Card? It's shiny and quite pretty."
Seeing the sudden appearance of the card in Han Yu's hand, Snake Granny thought he was about to attack her. She gripped her snake-head scepter, her Soul Rings undulating, ready to demonstrate a Soul Skill at any moment.
The next scene stunned everyone for a whole year. Han Yu, holding the card, didn't attack Snake Granny. Instead, he turned and threw the card towards Zhao Wuji.
"Damn, I let my guard down... I didn't dodge..."
Zhao Wuji lowered his head and looked at the card that had been thrown onto his chest. Although he didn't feel any pain, he still felt his scalp tingle. It would have been better if it had hurt; the fact that nothing happened was the most terrifying.
The other party wouldn't be so bored as to throw a card at him, would they?
The card didn't stay on Zhao Wuji's chest for long, only five or six seconds before it flew back into Han Yu's hand. At this moment, the originally transparent card had gained something.
Looking closely, it was actually a black Soul Ring!
"Is that my Soul Ring?"
Zhao Wuji stared blankly at the Soul Ring in the card. He knew his Soul Ring better than anyone, and that appearance was clearly his seventh!
He quickly activated the Soul Rings within him, and seven rings emerged around him. Seeing his Soul Rings still there, Zhao Wuji was relieved. He'd thought the other party had used some sorcery to steal them.
A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring wasn't something you could just lose. Even if he were to hunt a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, he'd have to prepare thoroughly to avoid losing his life.
"Let's see if this card works."
After obtaining the Soul Ring, Han Yu took out the Clear Sky Hammer in front of everyone.
Zhao Wuji's group was fine seeing the black hammer; they already knew Han Yu possessed the Clear Sky Hammer. But Snake Granny was different.
Looking at the exquisite black hammer, Snake Granny knew what it was. It was the strongest offensive tool Martial Soul in the world, and its overbearing and unreasonable attack power made it the nemesis of all offensive Martial Souls.
Anyone who possesses this hammer will undoubtedly have an immeasurable future.
"Impossible! The Clear Sky Sect has closed its doors and gone into seclusion. How could someone with the Clear Sky Hammer appear outside?"
Snake Granny roared inwardly. If the other party was from the Clear Sky Sect, she would have to carefully consider her actions. Although the sect had closed its doors, their strength remained. If they sent people to pursue her, it wouldn't be easy to handle.
The Plunder Card touched the Clear Sky Hammer and transformed into wisps of faint white light, carrying that ten-thousand-year Soul Ring to merge into the hammer. Within moments, the hammer's body lit up with a deep, dark glow, and a small, profound black circle appeared on the Clear Sky Hammer.
"It actually fused successfully?"
Aside from those brought by Han Yu, who were already familiar with this Martial Soul acquisition method, everyone else, including Snake Granny and Tang San, were shocked.
In their understanding, Soul Rings could only be obtained through hunting Soul Beasts or Soul Beast sacrifice. They had never heard of a weapon that could absorb someone else's Soul Ring and apply it to itself. This was truly unbelievable.
Looking at the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, which was now radiating a black glow, Han Yu thought, and then he put the Soul Ring into his Martial Soul. After the light dissipated, Han Yu's wrist visibly sagged.
"Interesting, this weight has increased quite a bit."
Han Yu tested the hammer, comparing it to the state without a Soul Ring. After obtaining his first Soul Ring, the Clear Sky Hammer's weight had skyrocketed. A casual swing now could probably smash several tons of boulders.
"Come out first, you all."
