Whew...Looking at the system interface, with both A Yin and Xiao Wu surpassing the 90% favorability mark—especially Xiao Wu, who had reached 96%—Nangong Lingyun let out a long breath in the carriage.
His slightly weary eyes glinted with a deep brilliance of pride and confidence.
Although this time's Pleasure Point harvest wasn't exactly "earth-shattering"—a little over 2 million, even less than beating up Xiao San—the other benefits were far from minor.
After all, favorability is a composite metric of the target's trust, affection, admiration, and fondness for you.It doesn't rise and stay there forever—it fluctuates constantly with time, situations, and context.
Moreover, depending on the stage, the difficulty of changing it varies greatly.This "difficulty" applies not just to increasing it, but also to dropping it.
In other words, Xiao Wu and A Yin were now basically locked in his hands. Under normal circumstances, even forming a harem wouldn't shake their loyalty.
According to the system's classification, anything above 70% is considered "fervent affection"—roughly the same level as most loving couples or spouses.
Confessing or proposing at this stage would have a very high chance of success,unless the situation is unusually messed up—like her being married to a martial arts master who shows up with 800 burly men and a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, glaring like death itself.
At 90%, there's only one step left from "till death do us part."
Even just the +2 to premium harem count was worth celebrating.Let alone the fact that favorability increases came with more than just rewards.
When it reaches the full 100%, it triggers a settlement for a Pit Achievement Series, which is where the real massive payout comes.For reference, 40% netted 2 million, 70% got 5 million—100% will very likely break 10 million.
The Heaven Dou Empire covered a large area.Even using the fastest hired carriage and rushing nonstop day and night, it still took five full days to reach Sunset Forest.
Including the time spent searching for suitable soul rings for the trio, the round trip took nearly half a month.
When Nangong Lingyun returned to Notting City, as expected, he received word from Yuan Tiangang:Bing Qing Yujie had broken through level 20 and was about to head to the Soul Hunting Forest for her second soul ring.
Her last experience had been too miserable—she was still limping on one leg and, as a soul master, had been forced to rely on a crutch.
This time, Yu Xiaogang didn't try to act tough. Instead, he invited Notting Academy's dean for help.
A middle-aged man who loved wearing black robes. He had a distinctive appearance, with a slightly jutting chin.
Even more distinctive than his looks was his name—Pu Jie.
Every time Nangong Lingyun saw this dean, he couldn't help but recall his past as a struggling novelist. What a total flop.
Pu Jie possessed a mid-tier martial soul—Fire-Breathing Bird, with a soul ring configuration of white-yellow-yellow-purple.
Aside from the city lord, the garrison commander, and the local Spirit Hall branch master,he was the only Soul Sect in all of Notting City.
Basically one of the four local powerhouses—highly respected in his own little patch of land.
Just like last time, Nangong Lingyun carefully selected a perfect location,then manipulated a giant killer bee, as long as an adult's arm, to hide ahead of their route.
He had prepared three "top-grade" soul beasts for Bing Qing Yujie,all selected based on the same criteria as the Saw-scaled Viper—extremely poisonous but otherwise useless.
God knows how rare these niche creatures are.
Nangong Lingyun worked tirelessly for four full days, turning over practically the entire hundred-year zone of Sunset Forest to find them.
No choice—Blue Silver Emperor's life attribute was near extreme.Even with just 50% bloodline, it was absurdly powerful.
After absorbing a soul ring with a completely opposing attribute—only viable via reverse evolution—its quality still ended up as "high-level." Not nearly miserable enough.
As his instructor said: "Use every last ounce of strength to chase down the enemy—don't go easy and pose for glory."He had to keep pushing harder.
The Killer Bee, also called the Black-headed Yellow-tailed Bee in Douluo, was the most "top-grade" among the three soul beasts.
The reason it was first choice?
Not just because insect-type soul beasts usually offered weak physical and mental bonuses but insanely strong poison—its venom was absolutely the most terrifying among all types.
Even better, the bee's poison targeted the heart and blood vessels. How perfect is that?
It just so happened to complement the Saw-scaled Viper's blood poison—increasing the chances of San Zi being able to accept it slightly.
The other two soul beasts were a 709-year-old Silver-ring Snake and a 640-year-old Poisonous Octopus.Slightly less "extreme," but still excellent picks.
