The night after defeating Flender, Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor left the Great Spirit Arena. As they walked through a small alley on their way back to the Spirit Hotel, Flender and Zhao Wuji suddenly appeared, blocking their path.

"Blind kid, stop right there!" Flender shouted. After a day and night of treatment from a healing soul master, his injuries had fully healed.

The two of them glared at Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor, their expressions filled with displeasure, especially toward Lin Yongming.

"What do you two want?" Lin Yongming asked, sensing their hostile intentions but remaining unfazed.

Blue Silver Emperor, who had been walking beside Lin Yongming, also stared at the two, wondering why they had come to confront them.

"Over the past two days, you've humiliated us both. Today, we're here to reclaim some of our dignity," Flender said in a dark tone, making their intentions clear.

Zhao Wuji, on the other hand, looked somewhat embarrassed, clearly having been dragged into this by Flender.

"So, you lost fair and square, and now you're here to ambush us? You two losers, where do you get the courage?" Blue Silver Emperor stepped forward, pointing at them with disdain before Lin Yongming could respond.

"You just came out of the Great Spirit Arena, so your soul power must be depleted. Enough talk—just let us beat you up, and we'll call it even," Flender said, completely ignoring Blue Silver Emperor and focusing solely on Lin Yongming.

It was clear that Lin Yongming had left a deep impression on Flender the previous day.

Lin Yongming couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't expected Flender to be this kind of person in his youth. He had only thought of him as somewhat greedy. No wonder Flender would later say, "A soul master who doesn't stir up trouble isn't a good soul master," which eventually became part of the so-called "Monster Quotes."

"Fine, if that's how it is, then come at us if you dare," Blue Silver Emperor said, standing protectively in front of Lin Yongming.

"Zhao Wuji, let's go!" Flender's face darkened as he released his three soul rings.

"Flender, this isn't a good idea. If word gets out, how will we live in Suotuo City?" Zhao Wuji hesitated, looking uneasy.

"We're already here. You can't back out now. Use your Gravity Enhancement to restrict their movement, and I'll handle the offense," Flender said quickly, already activating his spirit avatar.

"Alright," Zhao Wuji reluctantly released his soul rings.

"Come on, then. I've been itching to fight after watching you two in the arena for so long. Consider this my way of relieving some boredom," Blue Silver Emperor said with a smirk. As she spoke, her soul power surged, and four soul rings—two yellow and two purple—rose from her feet.

"A Soul Ancestor! You're actually a Soul Ancestor!" Flender and Zhao Wuji were stunned. They had assumed Blue Silver Emperor was at most a Great Soul Master, given her delicate appearance.

"As you can see," Blue Silver Emperor said coldly.

"Uh... we were just joking. We only wanted to get to know you better. It was all in good fun. You didn't take us seriously, did you?" Flender quickly changed his tone, forcing an awkward smile.

"Just joking, huh? Well, let's keep playing then," Blue Silver Emperor said with a sweet smile. Suddenly, countless Blue Silver Grass vines burst from the ground, entangling Zhao Wuji and rendering him powerless.

Flender tried to use his flight ability to escape, but Blue Silver Emperor snorted, "Get down here!" The vines shot out faster than Flender could fly, wrapping around his ankle and yanking him to the ground.

"Want to play, do you?" Before Flender could get up, more vines pinned him to the ground. Blue Silver Emperor controlled the vines, whipping Flender's back repeatedly.

"Ah! Big sister, we were wrong!" Flender cried out in pain, begging for mercy.

"Not enough. A few more hits should teach you a lesson," Blue Silver Emperor said, continuing to whip him.

Each strike elicited a painful scream from Flender, enough to make anyone who heard it shed a tear.

Zhao Wuji couldn't bear to watch and closed his eyes, unable to do anything.

After dozens of lashes, Blue Silver Emperor finally stopped. "Do you dare to try this again?"

"No, no, we won't!" Flender gasped, drenched in sweat and barely able to speak.

"What about you, big guy?" Blue Silver Emperor turned to Zhao Wuji.

"Uh... this wasn't my idea. It was all Flender's doing!" Zhao Wuji trembled, quickly shifting the blame to Flender.

"Zhao Wuji! I'm cutting ties with you! Ah!" Flender shouted, only to receive another lash from Blue Silver Emperor.

"You're still talking? It's obvious this was your idea. The big guy looks like an honest person," Blue Silver Emperor said, delivering another strike.

Lin Yongming shook his head helplessly. Control-type soul masters were indeed the most balanced among soul masters, capable of countering both agility and strength types.

"Big Sister A-Yin, that's enough. I think they've learned their lesson and won't dare to show up in front of us again," Lin Yongming said, stepping forward.

"Yes, yes, the young man is right. From now on, we'll steer clear of you," Flender said quickly, seizing the opportunity to save himself.

"Fine. It's getting late, so we'll stop here. You can go now," Blue Silver Emperor said, retracting her spirit and clapping her hands.

"Right, right," Flender said, leaning on the wall to stand up. Zhao Wuji hurried over to support him.

With Flender holding his sore backside and Zhao Wuji helping him, the two hobbled away, disappearing into the night.

Blue Silver Emperor was a kind person at heart and hadn't intended to seriously harm them. She had only wanted to teach Flender a lesson for daring to ambush them.

"Big Sister A-Yin, let's head back," Lin Yongming said.

"Alright."

In the following days, Lin Yongming's training continued as usual. During the day, he meditated in the hotel to cultivate his soul power and nurture his external spirit bone. In the afternoons, if the weather was nice, he would occasionally go shopping with Blue Silver Emperor.

Over the past three months, Lin Yongming had remained undefeated in the Soul Elder category at the Great Spirit Arena. His reputation had spread throughout Suotuo City and the surrounding areas.

However, the audience no longer referred to him as "Asura." Instead, they had given him a new nickname: "The Divine Blind Man."

Lin Yongming didn't mind the nickname. As long as he could continue fighting in the arena, he was content. However, as his winning streak grew, it became increasingly difficult to find opponents at his level. Whenever Lin Yongming entered the matchmaking queue, other Soul Elders would cancel their matches. Only newcomers to Suotuo City, unaware of his reputation, would dare to face him.

One morning, a disfigured young man with burn scars knocked on the door of Lin Yongming's hotel room.

"Asura, our bishop requests your presence."
