Chapter 161 External Soul Bone!
Monster Mountain Range.
Amethyst Winged Lion King Cave.
Golden flames leaped and burned in the cave, illuminating the surrounding amethyst walls with a dazzling light.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, with a complete skeleton of a Vajra Ape floating in front of him. The entire skeleton, under the scorching heat of the sun's true fire, began to glow faintly on its surface.
The secret techniques recorded on the wings of the Nine-Flying Sky Goose are based on parts of the bones of specific magical beasts, which are then fused with their essence and refined into fragments of their souls, ultimately condensing into flight combat skills that can be learned by humans.
"Partial skeleton?"
Xiao Yan stared at the complete skeleton of the Vajra Ape in front of him, his eyelids twitching slightly. It seemed that he had done something wrong again.
Both the Heavenly Goose Nine-Flight Wings and the Purple Cloud Wings are described using partial skeletons, such as wing bones and spine bones, as core materials. But what about him? He brought back an entire Golden Ape, bones and flesh intact, completely complete, without a single piece left.
The main reason is that I'm afraid it won't be enough.
I'm also afraid it won't be tough enough.
If you run out of materials halfway through the process, you'll have nowhere to turn for help. Anyway, the Golden Ape is big enough and has enough bones, so it's always good to have extra.
But now, looking at the bones scattered all over the ground, Xiao Yan suddenly felt that he might have gone a bit too far in preparing.
"Go, the flames have already ignited, and the bones have begun to melt. Should we stop now?"
Xiao Yan's lips twitched.
Forget it.
Whether it's part or all, let's integrate it first.
Under his full force, the temperature of the true fire of the sun rose steadily. His bones softened slowly in the flames, and the surface bone layer began to peel away, revealing the crystal-clear marrow inside.
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and he unleashed his full power!
It was time! Under his control, the liquid began to slowly deform, pull and contract—shaping, and finally solidifying into a pair of claw-like sheaths emitting a faint yellowish-brown light.
Acquired the claw sheath.
It was heavy and had a slight warmth to it.
Xiao Yan looked at it over and over again, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes—no, it wasn't just surprise.
It was a pleasant surprise!
Since it can be melted, there's a lot more room for manipulation. Melting any bone would allow him to knead it at will.
It actually worked! What kind of soul bone do you want?
Will I be able to sculpt it myself in the future?
No! It's too early to call it a soul bone.
His expectant gaze fell once again on the bone in front of him.
The surface of the claw sheath is covered with strange, earthy yellow patterns that subtly swirl under the light, and with each swirl, the phantom of a golden ape seems to appear.
After all, it is—the entire talent, strength, and even bloodline of the King Kong Ape condensed into this pair of claw gloves!
Xiao Yan couldn't help but grin.
Something's not quite right, but it's not entirely wrong!
He tried to infuse a wisp of fighting spirit into the claw sheath.
He could faintly hear the roar of apes beside him, and the bones in his hands felt heavier, but nothing else.
That's right, but something's not quite right either.
"nice one."
Xiao Yan stroked the pair of paw gloves with obvious affection, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
He glanced again at the three beasts watching him.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King sat to the side, unable to understand but able to guess what was going on, yet he didn't ask any questions and just watched obediently.
On the other side...
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape were completely stunned.
The two soul beasts, who had lived for over 100,000 years, stared wide-eyed at the pair of earthen-yellow claw gloves in Xiao Yan's hands.
That thing—
That thing is—
He turned his head and looked at the Titan Ape.
The Titan Ape was also looking at him.
The two beasts' gazes met in the air, and they both saw the same thing in each other's eyes—unbelievable.
Soul bone! That's a soul bone!
Although they were just a pair of small claws, and although the aura they emitted was only at the level of a thousand-year-old Vajra Ape, their form, their luster, and the faintly flowing energy patterns—
It is undoubtedly a soul bone.
Moreover, it is the rarest and most precious external soul bone among all soul bones!
What is the concept of an external soul bone?
In the Douluo Continent, soul bones are already extremely rare, and external soul bones are even more unusual. They do not need to occupy the regular six soul bone positions, can be attached to additional soul bones, and can grow together with the host!
Low age limit? That's not a problem at all!
The most terrifying thing about external soul bones is that they can grow.
Even if it is only a thousand-year-old soul bone at the beginning, as long as the master is powerful enough, it can grow all the way to ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, or even higher.
And now—the Azure Bull Python stared stiffly at the pair of freshly made, still warm, claw sheaths in Xiao Yan's hands.
Just like that—simple and easy?
He watched with his own eyes as Blue Silver Emperor went from bringing back the Golden Ape, to lighting a fire, melting its bones, shaping it, and bringing it out of the furnace—all in less than an hour.
Even cooking takes less time!
A piece of externally attached soul bone was crafted.
The Azure Bull Python felt its brain wasn't working properly.
But seeing the thoughtful expression on Lan Yinhuang's face, he finally sighed and said, "I'm lost in thought."
As expected of the Blue Silver Emperor!
"Wait a little longer."
Xiao Yan suddenly spoke.
The words had barely left his mouth when a flash of silver light appeared.
His figure disappeared into the cave.
Douluo Continent, Blue Silver Forest.
Zhu Zhuqing was sitting cross-legged, her body surrounded by faint fluctuations of battle qi, and she was cultivating with extreme concentration.
She only opened her eyes when the silver light appeared.
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback the moment Zi Guang met Xiao Yan's gaze.
She saw what Xiao Yan was holding: a pair of claw gloves that emitted a faint yellowish-brown light. They were very ordinary in design, with strange patterns on their surface and a faint golden luster flowing around them.
"This is----"
Zhu Zhuqing blinked, somewhat confused.
Wasn't it supposed to be a soul bone?
Now, how come it's just a weapon?
No, no, no, I can't think like that.
Whatever the other party gives her, it is a tremendous reward. Even if it is a blade of grass or a stone, she will accept it with gratitude.
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, stretched out her hands, and respectfully prepared to catch the pair of claw gloves.
"This—you can understand it as an external soul bone."
Xiao Yan placed the claw glove in her palm, his voice calm.
"Although it's only a thousand years old, it can grow as its owner grows. So, don't underestimate it."
After he finished speaking, he silently added another sentence in his mind.
If his guess is correct.
External Soul Bone?
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils paused slightly.
to be frank!
She had no idea what an external soul bone was.
As if understanding her thoughts, Xiao Yan glanced at her and then said, "Second only to those with a 100,000-year soul ring."
This was the first thing said.
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted!
Second only to a 100,000-year soul ring?!
This—this kind of thing—
She looked up and gazed at Xiao Yan.
His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.
Thank you, Lord.
Those two words were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't utter them.
Xiao Yan didn't notice her embarrassment.
"You—aren't you going to refuse?"
he asks.
Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened slightly.
Immediately, she took a deep breath, raised her eyes and looked directly into Xiao Yan's eyes, her gaze filled with unwavering determination, not hesitation.
"I won't refuse."
This was his experiment, and also a method to enhance her strength.
To prove one's worth.
Therefore, she will not refuse.
"OK!"
Xiao Yan nodded slightly.
"Then let's begin absorbing it."
He took a step back and waited quietly to see if anything unexpected would happen.
Zhu Zhuqing looked down at the pair of claw gloves in her palm.
at the same time.
Wutan City, Xiao Family Courtyard.
Xiao Xun'er's lips still held a trace of sweetness from before, but suddenly, her eyes cleared up from the sweetness.
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
It shouldn't be, right?
Brother Xiao Yan must be thinking of me.
It's impossible for someone to take something and then think about other women.
Yes, that would never happen.
She had never heard of Xiao Yan having any contact with other women. Even Elder Ling said that he only had her by his side.
So—it must be an illusion.
Xiao Xun'er let out a soft breath, suppressing the unease in her heart, and looked out at the clear sky.
A subtle glint, unnoticed even by himself, flashed in his eyes.
