The moment the talisman flew out.

The mysterious strong player's expression slightly changed.

Jiang Ye keenly sensed that he might be feeling a hint of regret.

However... it was too late!

Jiang Ye had personally experienced the power of this special-grade talisman before.

Under its pressure, he couldn't use clone swapping or any other means to escape!

That is to say, the moment the talisman was thrown at him, he had already been locked on!

At this moment, the same applied to the mysterious strong player!

Moreover, in this Time-Stop Prison, even if he had some means, they were restricted to the point of being unusable!

Thus, the black talisman instantly stuck to his forehead.

And the mysterious strong player's body abruptly turned into a doll, rapidly shrinking.

The Permission Iron Piece he had been clutching in his palm fell to the ground along with the mini wooden doll...

At this moment, Zhou Yuling had already been taken over by Jiang Ye, becoming Jiang Ye himself.

According to Jiang Ye's speculation—

If Zhou Yuling were to truly use the talisman herself, it would most likely fail.

But Jiang Ye could!

The effect of this Time-Stop Prison...

Had already become ineffective against him from the moment he could easily sense everything inside the prison from the outside!

Of course, thinking carefully, from his main body cutting his shoulder to sensing the "Formless Leaf"...

Each step had gradually been breaking the prison's confinement and rules.

If the prison's confinement rules against Jiang Ye hadn't partially failed...

Jiang Ye wouldn't have been able to sense the Formless Leaf.

Nor could he have "escaped" from the prison through the Formless Leaf.

Therefore, when he completely sensed the prison, Jiang Ye speculated—

The entire prison's rules had become ineffective against him.

Thus, he himself could use that talisman inside the prison!

The facts proved his speculation correct!

Even while located inside the prison, the mysterious strong player was still sealed!

Of course, sealing the mysterious strong player into a small wooden doll was actually quite useless.

In this doll form, he couldn't really do anything to him.

Couldn't kill him, couldn't turn him into a clone, couldn't plunder his abilities or items...

Even through the scene where the mysterious strong player had frozen himself and then "exploded" earlier.

Jiang Ye's previously conceived "swapping the cat for the crown prince" plan was clearly unfeasible too.

This mysterious strong player had deliberately hidden his capabilities.

He alone could complete the freezing and thawing.

Therefore, when he went to bind the Permission Iron Piece, he didn't need to utilize the mirrored clone at all.

Jiang Ye had no room for manipulation either.

However...

Perhaps now, there was no need for any swapping the cat for the crown prince.

Jiang Ye casually lifted his foot and stepped on the small wooden doll that the mysterious strong player had turned into.

He ground his sole forcefully a few times, achieving spiritual victory, then his gaze fell upon that pitch-black Permission Iron Piece again.

His eyes darkened slightly.

Then, with a thought, he submerged his consciousness into the "Formless Leaf."

Thus, Zhou Yuling's consciousness once again took over her body.

From her perspective, she only felt her mind waver for a moment.

When she regained her senses, she saw...

The mysterious strong player had already turned into a doll, lying quietly on the ground...

Huh? Why does this doll look a bit dirty?

Zhou Yuling wondered inwardly, but didn't think too much about it.

She vaguely guessed that during the time she lost consciousness, Jiang Ye must have done something.

And now that he returned her body to her, he probably wanted to arrange for her to do something...

Zhou Yuling calmly looked up into the air, about to ask something.

But then she saw a figure suddenly appear beside her.

Zhou Yuling jumped back half a step in surprise before looking at Jiang Ye and speaking awkwardly: "You... you came in too?"

Jiang Ye nodded casually, looking at Zhou Yuling and saying directly:

"I suspect this prison doesn't belong to the 「Formless Domain」."

Zhou Yuling didn't understand what he meant by suddenly saying this?

Jiang Ye continued: "Therefore, bleeding in the prison won't result in Erasure."

Zhou Yuling nodded slowly: "But the problem is..."

"Didn't the mysterious strong player already prove it? In this prison, bleeding is impossible."

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow: "But didn't I just prove it too?"

"In this prison, I call the shots :)"

Zhou Yuling looked at that familiar smile and instantly realized!

So that's it!

No wonder she suddenly lost consciousness earlier!

So Jiang Ye meant...

If she were to use that special immobilizing talisman on the mysterious strong player, it wouldn't take effect.

But if Jiang Ye used it, it would work!

So...

By the same logic—

Others can't cause bleeding effects in the prison.

But Jiang Ye can!

But...

Zhou Yuling looked confused: "And then?"

"You're not trying to say..."

"You can bleed in this prison, then use the blood shed in the prison to perform blood-drip acknowledgment on the Formless Leaf from the Formless Tree?"

"Within 3 seconds, it might actually work!"

"This way, our actions wouldn't need to rely on that mysterious strong player."

This way, they could keep the mysterious strong player sealed permanently.

While they directly cleared the Court of Disorder!

Thinking this, Zhou Yuling felt considerably more relaxed.

Although she hadn't willingly acknowledged Jiang Ye as her master, she still instinctively rejected the mysterious strong player.

Being able to temporarily resolve this trouble was naturally good.

However...

After her analysis, she saw Jiang Ye slightly shake his head, his tone somber: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yuling was slightly surprised, though a thought flashed through her mind.

Then she saw Jiang Ye raise his eyebrow again and say: "If the mysterious strong player himself didn't have means to break the talisman's effect..."

"Then I suspect he wouldn't have so easily agreed to be sealed by the talisman."

The slight relief Zhou Yuling had just felt quickly turned into gravity again.

Her gaze fell on the slightly dirty doll: "You mean... it won't be long before he can break the doll seal himself?"

Jiang Ye nodded.

But what he didn't say was—

At least within this prison space, the mysterious strong player probably couldn't break free from this doll seal form.

After all, the prison space's state couldn't be changed.

If he couldn't even bleed, naturally he couldn't break the seal either.

Therefore, as long as this doll remained in the prison.

The mysterious strong player couldn't break the seal and return to normal.

However...

Keeping it in the prison permanently wasn't realistic.

If Jiang Ye guessed correctly...

When the Extreme Court "Court Session" began.

The beings in this prison would probably be "summoned" to the court.

At that time, the mysterious strong player would automatically leave the prison and appear in the court.

And Jiang Ye already considered the Extreme Court his exclusive dungeon.

He didn't want the mysterious strong player interfering.

So, before the formal "Court Session" began, he still needed to get this thing out of the prison.

Thinking this, Jiang Ye gave the mysterious strong player another kick.

"..." Zhou Yuling watched and finally understood where the slightly dirty marks on the doll came from.

She followed suit and stepped on it too.

But according to the prison's characteristics, her footprint couldn't remain on the doll.

Jiang Ye now picked up the Permission Iron Piece and told Zhou Yuling his new idea:

"When I mentioned bleeding in the prison earlier, it wasn't for binding the Formless Leaf."

"?" Zhou Yuling looked confused.

But because of Jiang Ye's action of picking up the Permission Iron Piece, she thought meaningfully:

"You want to..."

"Try performing blood-drip acknowledgment on the Permission Iron Piece again in the prison?"

They had already tried this before under the Formless Tree.

Zhou Yuling had seen the result—Jiang Ye's blood couldn't bind this Permission Iron Piece.

And now, Jiang Ye wanted to try again...

Zhou Yuling suddenly thought of something, her eyes widening abruptly: "You think..."

"The 'blood' we used for blood-drip acknowledgment before was mixed with the mysterious strong player's Ice Crystal Tear Drop!"

"The blood at that time wasn't pure! So our binding with the Formless Leaf was problematic too?!"

Thinking this, Zhou Yuling felt inwardly shocked.

But this news wasn't really a big problem for her.

After all, she had already acknowledged the Formless Leaf as her master.

She was already not in control of herself...

So even if the Ice Crystal Tear Drop mixed in the blood really had issues, that would be Jiang Ye's problem.

Hmm... although now, Jiang Ye had become her master...

Zhou Yuling's feelings were quite complicated.

Then she heard Jiang Ye say directly: "Yes—"

"I suspect the blood we dripped on the Formless Leaf was problematic."

"And I suspect the reason I couldn't perform blood-drip acknowledgment on the Permission Iron Piece was because it was mixed with the Ice Crystal Tear Drop."

"So now, without the Ice Crystal Tear Drop, we can try acknowledgment again."

Zhou Yuling nodded.

This line of thinking was correct.

They really should try blood-drip acknowledgment again.

After all, Jiang Ye had already stated that he could bleed in this prison.

But...

Zhou Yuling suddenly asked strangely: "Why are you telling me all this? Just perform the blood-drip acknowledgment directly."

Then she saw Jiang Ye raise an eyebrow.

And then...

He actually threw the Permission Iron Piece to her!

Zhou Yuling blankly caught the iron piece, her expression shifting from confusion to shock: "You?? What do you mean?!"

Since she was already his person, Jiang Ye didn't hide anything and said directly:

"I strongly suspect that Jiang Wenxing isn't dead."

"If we forcibly perform acknowledgment on this Permission Iron Piece, something might go wrong."

Zhou Yuling was dazed: "So, because of this risk, you plan to have me perform blood-drip acknowledgment on this Permission Iron Piece?"

"This..."

She truly couldn't imagine: "That mysterious strong player earlier coveted this Permission Iron Piece so much..."

"Aren't you afraid that after I obtain this permission identity, I'll directly escape your control?"

Then she saw Jiang Ye raise an eyebrow: "Even if you really could escape the Formless Leaf's control after obtaining the permission identity..."

"You most likely still couldn't escape this prison's control :)"

"..."

Alright.

True.

Based on Jiang Wenxing's previous performance.

He couldn't sense the prison's existence, nor could he grab people remotely from outside the prison.

Then, if he entered the prison, he'd probably be restricted by the prison's effects too.

And currently Zhou Yuling was also in the prison.

Even if she really obtained heaven-defying means through the permission identity, she couldn't use them in the prison...

Thinking this, Zhou Yuling understood—

Having her bind the Permission Iron Piece posed no risk to Jiang Ye.

Thus, she stopped being confused or hesitant.

She directly reached her hand out to Jiang Ye and said: "Then let's do it."

Jiang Ye wasn't polite either, casually cutting her finger.

Sure enough, he still ignored the prison's effects and quickly made a cut on Zhou Yuling's finger.

After the blood dripped out, Zhou Yuling dabbed it onto the pitch-black iron piece.

To be honest, Zhou Yuling felt that her blood-drip acknowledgment on this Permission Iron Piece would most likely have the same effect as Jiang Ye's attempt on the iron piece not long ago.

This iron piece would most likely reject her blood too.

However...

What she didn't expect was!

The blood droplet placed on the iron piece actually merged into it!

This??!

So, Jiang Ye really couldn't perform acknowledgment on the iron piece earlier because of the Ice Crystal Tear Drop?!

While Zhou Yuling was inwardly shocked, she heard a prompt in her mind:

[Ding!]

[You are about to become SVIP, do you agree?]

[Yes/No?]

This...

This prompt...

Zhou Yuling's eyes widened.

Jiang Ye directly asked: "What happened? Report!"

Zhou Yuling naturally wouldn't defy him and completely repeated the prompt in her mind.

Without needing her special analysis.

Jiang Ye thought the same thing as her!

"This prompt..."

"It's too similar to the prompt for acknowledging the Formless Leaf, and the prompt for obtaining temporary permission identity!"

Zhou Yuling thought so too!

She couldn't help but say directly: "So this Permission Iron Piece might be a trap too?"

"After choosing 'Yes,' will I end up serving two masters?!"

Ahem, that's how she put it.

But her meaning was clear—

She suspected that this Permission Iron Piece wasn't Jiang Wenxing's genuine permission identity iron piece at all!

But just a temporary identity permission iron piece!

Thinking this, of course she wanted to choose [No] in her heart.

After all, she had already fallen into the 「Formless Leaf」 trap once.

She couldn't possibly fall into the same trap twice and truly end up serving two masters, could she?

Wait, counting Lin Ling, that would make three masters!

Did she have the qualities of Lü Bu?

Zhou Yuling was about to choose No.

But then she heard Jiang Ye command directly: "Choose Yes."

"..."

Zhou Yuling: "Can I refuse?"

Jiang Ye looked puzzled: "What do you think?"

"..."

Zhou Yuling felt that her opinion didn't matter.

Thus, she had no choice.

She silently thought: [Yes.]

While praying in her heart...

Hoping this temporary permission wasn't as trap-like as the Formless Leaf.

Hoping she wouldn't acknowledge someone as master, but truly obtain some permissions...

While praying like this, she felt this possibility was actually quite likely.

After all, that mysterious strong player had coveted this Permission Iron Piece so much.

That guy...

Did he even know this was just a temporary identity permission iron piece?

If he knew, and still wanted to bind it so badly...

Then perhaps this temporary permission identity really had more benefits than drawbacks?

Thinking this, Zhou Yuling heard another prompt in her mind:

[Congratulations on obtaining permission identity: Privileged One (SVIP)!]

Huh?

Why doesn't this prompt include the word "temporary" this time?

So is this permission identity temporary or not?

Zhou Yuling repeated the prompt in her mind word for word to Jiang Ye again.

She was about to check her data panel after obtaining the permission identity.

But suddenly she felt a forbidden power, like invisible chains, encircling her entire body!

And beneath her feet, a giant complex-patterned magic array suddenly appeared!
