Chapter 9 External Soul Bone - Wings of Light
A pair of golden-winged soul bones, radiating dazzling light, floated above the corpse of the Golden Winged Lion of Light.
"Hmm, you're incredibly lucky, kid. You actually managed to encounter the rarest and most precious external soul bone. It looks like this soul bone can still evolve. That golden-winged lion had two pairs of wings on its back, but this one only has one pair. It must have returned to its original state after being separated from its body. You can just cultivate back to it. Now, keep it safe and absorb it when you get back." Tianwei Douluo patted Qian Yuhan on the shoulder.
"Okay." With that, Qian Yuhan waved her hand and put the external soul bone into the Cold Heart Dragon God Golden Bracelet.
After resting for a day on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Yuhan's injuries had almost healed. He then entered the Star Dou Great Forest again to find a suitable soul beast.
This time, Tianwei Douluo entered directly with Qian Yuhan. Before long, they discovered a ten-thousand-year-old Illusionary Thunder Shadow Serpent. This soul beast was extremely fast and could quickly create a clone with eighty percent of its own strength—a very powerful innate skill. Qian Yuhan had taken advantage of this, and his own physical strength was sufficient to absorb a ten-thousand-year-old second soul ring.
Qian Yuhan, unaware of the truth, believed that his exceptional physical abilities, resulting from years of rigorous training, enabled him to absorb the second ten-thousand-year spirit ring. While Qian Yuhan was oblivious, the Heavenly Might Douluo was well aware. The terrifying second spirit that appeared during his awakening had strengthened his body, a fact that all witnesses present could feel. The blood sword hadn't explicitly stated it, but everyone tacitly agreed that Qian Yuhan had acquired an extraordinary physique.
This is the second-longest spirit ring in ten thousand years...
Tianwei Douluo looked at Qian Yuhan, who was sitting cross-legged absorbing soul rings, with a complicated expression, and sighed, "Alas, the younger generation surpasses the older generation. These juniors are really something. I haven't left the mountain for many years. I didn't know that there were immortal people on this continent with talents as heaven-defying as the young master."
Two hours later, Qian Yuhan opened his eyes, slowly rose, and released his Martial Soul—the Divine Sword of Light. Holding the Divine Sword of Light, two spirit rings, one purple and one black, quietly rose from beneath his feet, floating upwards before gradually disappearing… Absorption successful, a two-ring Great Soul Master.
"Uncle Tianwei, I'm level 27 now!!"
"Hmm." Tianwei Douluo nodded.
Absorbing the 2,200-year-old Golden Winged Lion of Light had raised Qian Yuhan's soul power to level 22. For soul masters, the higher the quality of their soul rings in the early stages, the more significant the increase in soul power level. The further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes to increase soul power; even with a 100,000-year soul ring as the ninth ring, one might only see a one or two-level increase.
It was expected that Qian Yuhan would absorb the second ten-thousand-year soul ring and increase his soul power from level 22 to level 27 by 5 levels.
"Alright, young master, it's time to go back. After you absorb that external soul bone, your strength will increase to another level."
If Tianwei Douluo hadn't mentioned it, Qian Yuhan would have almost forgotten this important matter.
Qian Yuhan: I almost forgot, after I absorb that external soul bone, I might be able to break through to level 30 soon! Hehehe—
Seeing Qian Yuhan grinning mischievously, Tianwei Douluo thought: What good thing is this kid thinking? His mouth is grinning like that, uh, and it's a bit... lewd?
Without thinking much about anything else, Tianwei Douluo summoned the Darkwing White Tiger and flipped over to ride on its back.
Tianwei Douluo woke up Qian Yuhan, who was daydreaming and giggling to himself, and beckoned him to return to the Spirit Hall.
Qian Yuhan then realized how embarrassing she had been...
In the air, Qian Yuhan poked Tianwei Douluo on the back and slowly said, "Uncle Tianwei, please don't tell anyone about how ugly I looked just now. It's too embarrassing, especially to my father, those worshippers in your Hall of Worship, and the elders in the Hall of Elders. You can just laugh to yourself, otherwise it will be too embarrassing for my father and will tarnish his reputation."
Tianwei Douluo turned around and looked at Qian Yuhan, who was hanging his head and looking dejected. He patted his head and comforted him, "Hahaha, the little guy knows how to maintain his image now, huh? Hahaha!"
"Uncle Tianwei!" Qian Yuhan looked up and punched Tianwei Douluo with his hand.
"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. This is a secret between the two of us, and I promise I won't tell anyone. Your Uncle Tianwei means what I say."
"Really?"
"real."
"Let's make a pinky promise."
Heavenly Might Douluo: What does "pinky promise" mean?
Without any clear explanation, Qian Yuhan manipulated his hands, and finally, his thumbs touched each other. Qian Yuhan said that it would only be valid if it was stamped.
……
Back at the Spirit Hall, Tianwei Douluo led Qian Yuhan directly to the Hall of the Judgment Elders. Upon seeing Qian Mo, he bowed and said, "Great Elder, the young master has obtained the first spirit ring of the millennium and the second spirit ring of the ten-thousand-year, and has also obtained an external spirit bone that he has not yet absorbed. Please let the young master absorb it in a while. I will take my leave now."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Tianwei. Go back and get some rest."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Young Master is truly amazing this time. Please listen to his explanation. I'm off now." With that, he vanished from the spot in an instant.
After Tianwei Douluo left, Qian Mo spoke to Qian Yuhan, saying, "You obtained an external soul bone? Show it to me quickly."
Qianmo was also very excited. He had to maintain his image because Tianwei Douluo was still around, but he didn't care about that when facing his son. What was there to be afraid of if they were family?
Qian Mo had never seen an external soul bone in his hundred years of life, so how could he not be excited? As Qian Yuhan swept his right hand across the golden bracelet on his left wrist, a pair of miniature, palm-sized wings, radiating dazzling light, appeared in Qian Yuhan's hand.
Qianmo suppressed his excitement, looked at his son, nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Child, sit down and absorb it. I will protect you."
Qianmo knew his son was extraordinary and would surely become a leading figure in the world of Soul Masters. He had no desire for the Soul Bone whatsoever. His strength was level 99; even if he absorbed the Soul Bone, it wouldn't be of much use—at most, it would just look good.
But Qian Yuhan is different. With this external soul bone, he can walk a faster, more stable and longer path in the future.
Moreover, Qianmo had read many ancient books, many of which were about soul bones, and he vaguely remembered some things about external soul bones.
This type of wing-like external soul bone has a high probability of evolving. He looked at the external soul bone that was fusing with Qian Yuhan's back; it was a pair of bright wings, which could very likely continue to evolve in the future. Moreover, the evolution of a soul bone represents a qualitative leap for the soul master.
Before long, a pair of golden wings slowly unfolded, and a radiant aura filled the entire Hall of Judgement Elders.
Qian Yuhan hovered in the main hall, her wings flapping back and forth. Her eyes slowly opened—golden pupils!
