“The technique I used to imprison the primordial lizard’s primordial spirit is called the soul-s.n.a.t.c.hing hand.” Lin Yi said honestly.

“Soul s.n.a.t.c.hing hand?” Upon hearing this word, Duanmu Yu felt his blood run cold for some reason. He could not help but say,”Why does it sound like an evil cultivator’s move?”

“That’s right, this is an evil cultivator’s technique. I was chased by an extremely powerful evil cultivator on the Sky Cla.s.s Island, and he wanted to use the soul-s.n.a.t.c.hing hand to trap my soul and turn me into a puppet. ” Lin Yi smiled. He was talking about the West Mountain old sect.

“Since it’s a Big Shot’s technique, how come you know it too? are you an evil cultivator too?” Duanmu Yu subconsciously took a step back. Evil cultivators didn’t just exist on the heaven cla.s.s Island. They also existed in the small world of the ancient times, and they were also hated by everyone.

“Do you think I’m a sorcerer?” Lin Yi was speechless.

“No.” Duanmu Yu shook his head decisively. She had seen everything that Lin Yi had done. Although his methods were profound and unpredictable, it was completely different from being a black magic pract.i.tioner. If even Lin Yi was a black magic pract.i.tioner, then there would be countless black magic pract.i.tioners in the world.

“Then that’s it.” Lin Yi said, curling his lips.

“But since you’re not an evil cultivator, how do you know the moves of an evil cultivator master?” Duanmu Yu asked in puzzlement.

“I have a deep impression of the soul s.n.a.t.c.hing hand. Recently, I happened to be in the primordial spirit state, and I also happened to encounter a bottleneck. Since I have nothing to do, I began to explore and try out all kinds of messy deified soul techniques. More or less, I have gained something.” Lin Yi said.

“So that’s how you learned the soul s.n.a.t.c.hing hand?” Duanmu Yu’s jaw dropped. She’d seen Lin Yi’s amazing observation skills when they fought the water lotus Protector, but from what she knew, no matter how talented a genius was, they had to learn every skill systematically from the beginning. Who could figure it out by themselves after seeing someone use it once?

In fact, her understanding was not wrong. At least, it was absolutely not a problem in the small world of martial arts in the ancient times. After all, the top masters in the small world of martial arts in the ancient times were only Yuanying stage old monsters. If compared to the schools in the secular world, they were at the junior high level at most, and they were only in the basic stage. Students at this level naturally needed to learn step by step. No matter how talented they were, they could not come up with new tricks.

But Lin Yi was different-he was a xuansheng stage master, and one that could take out a mountain opening stage powerhouse in an instant. He was a genius among geniuses, and even if he wasn’t a university student, he was at least a high school student.

With different levels, one’s outlook would naturally be different. Middle school geniuses could learn quickly and well at most, but high school geniuses had already entered the level of knowing an answer and being able to reverse-deduce the true solution to an entire set of problems.

“I can’t say that I’ve learned it completely. At most, I’ve just glimpsed the door and found a little way.” Lin Yi was being humble, but it wasn’t a lie. What he’d figured out was at most an incomplete version of the hand, and it wasn’t as powerful as the one from the West Mountain sect. Not only could it not be used on someone higher than the foundational level, but he’d also suffer a severe backlash from his essence spirit every time he used it. If it weren’t for the water bead that healed his essence spirit, Lin Yi wouldn’t dare to use it.

Even so, Duanmu Yu was already shocked speechless. What kind of freak was this?!

“You … Why are you willing to tell me this?” Duanmu Yu asked, hesitating. Not only the soul Catcher hand, but the s.p.a.ce in the Jade as well-these were all Lin Yi’s secrets. Normally, he wouldn’t tell anyone about it unless it was his closest family, according to the rules of the world of cultivation. Why would he tell him this?

“Yeah …” Lin Yi thought about it seriously and shrugged,””There’s no particular reason. I just feel that you’re a reliable person, so it’s a sudden impulse.”

“Do you really trust me that much?” Duanmu Yu couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

“Don’t you deserve my trust?” Lin Yi asked.

Duanmu Yu choked for a long time. After a long time, he shook his head and said,”I really can’t see through you.”

The more powerful a person was, the more sophisticated they were-this was human nature, but it was a completely different case for Lin Yi. This guy seemed to be born to break common sense-no matter what he did, it was always surprising and subverting everyone’s understanding.

“If I was so easily seen through, wouldn’t I be in trouble?” Lin Yi chuckled. The water droplet in his hand had completely evaporated as he spoke-or more accurately, he’d absorbed it. Lin Yi stood up immediately, full of energy. He looked much better than before-not only was his injury completely healed, but he even seemed to have improved.

However, it was only a slight improvement. He was still thousands of miles away from breaking through the barrier of the perfected foundation building realm.

“Tsk, tsk, this water bead is really a good thing. If the Kappa race wasn’t nearly exterminated by that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Lotus Protector, I might have been able to get a few more. What a pity.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh.

“Don’t you still have a holy water bead?” Duanmu Yu took a glance at him.

Now that protector Lotus was in Lin Yi’s hands, the Pearl of holy water was naturally in Lin Yi’s hands as well. It wanted to use the Pearl to bargain and regain its freedom, but it didn’t have the right to do so in the Jade s.p.a.ce. Lin Yi could even find the Pearl with a thought, what was it going to bargain with?

“Yeah, but it’s still a pity, isn’t it?” Lin Yi took out the Pearl and studied it. The crack was a pity, but the purity and holiness it exuded was intoxicating.

“One holy water bead is worth at least dozens or even hundreds of ordinary water beads. You’re really greedy.” Duanmu Yu commented. She didn’t have any designs on the sacred water pearl-after all, she didn’t need it as much as Lin Yi did. Plus, it was the spoils of war from subduing the water lotus Protector, so it should belong to Lin Yi alone.

“Everyone in the world has greed, what’s so strange about me being greedy?” Lin Yi smiled and mumbled to himself,””Even an ordinary water bead can help me improve while healing my injuries. If it were a holy water bead, would it help me break through the barrier and reach the Golden core stage?”

“You want to advance to the Golden core stage?” Duanmu Yu’s face was filled with astonishment.

“Don’t you want to?” Lin Yi asked.

“Of course I want to, but can a person as powerful as you also encounter a bottleneck?” Duanmu Yu still couldn’t believe it. After all that had happened, Lin Yi was a complete mess in her eyes. In her opinion, if Lin Yi had the heart, breaking through to golden core was just a matter of time. Why did he have to face a bottleneck like normal people?
