Chapter 13: Another External Soul Bone! Hu Bai's Filial Piety!
At this moment, Hu Bai and Hu Leyao also arrived. Hu Bai saw that the Light Unicorn had been deeply cut at its waist by Xie Tian's Moon Blade, leaving a bone-deep wound. He then released his Martial Soul and said to Xie Tian, "Dad, can I try it myself next?"
Looking at the eager expression on Hu Bai's face, Xie Tian first glanced at Hu Leyao. Seeing her nod with a smile, Xie Tian then agreed.
With Hu Leyao present, even if the Light Unicorn had a dying struggle, there would be ample time for rescue.
The speed of a mental attack is incredibly fast!
During these past few days of searching for Soul Beasts, Hu Bai wasn't idle. Whenever he had free time, he would research how to use the lightning element for attack, defense, and movement.
With some memories from his previous life, creating self-created soul skills was incredibly simple for him.
In this world, almost all Soul Masters view the lightning attribute as purely offensive and extremely violent.
But he didn't think so. The lightning element could also be used for speed. Hu Bai gathered the lightning element at his feet, stimulating the meridians in his feet, causing his speed to instantly increase by a level.
Originally, he was twenty meters away from this Light Unicorn, but now he was only ten meters away—ten meters being precisely his attack range!
"Forest of Lightning!"
Hu Bai's yellow soul ring slowly rose, increasing the power of the lightning element by one hundred percent and significantly boosting his resistance. A ten-meter radius centered on him transformed into a sea of lightning, instantly enveloping the Light Unicorn.
Meanwhile, Xie Tian leaped and landed beside Hu Leyao.
Over the past few days, they had finally confirmed that the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Martial Soul had also endowed their son with wisdom.
In just a few days, Hu Bai was able to apply the lightning element!
This wisdom wasn't just about ideas; it also included the ability to truly put those ideas into practice!
And Hu Bai possessed this ability to act on his ideas!
Otherwise, why would self-created Soul Skills be so rare on the continent?
Did they think that those Soul Masters didn't want to create their Soul Skills? No, it was because they didn't have that ability!
Here, one cannot help but mention a certain Innate full soul power wind-attribute Soul Master who was forty-four levels at twenty-four years old, having spent countless years cultivating self-created Soul Skills!
Hu Bai, however, only took a few days. Even though these skills were relatively simple applications, they were not something ordinary Soul Masters could achieve in a short period.
The Light Unicorn, caught within the Forest of Lightning, suffered from the erosion of the lightning, and its originally agile body became stiff.
This Soul Skill was something Hu Bai had comprehended from the Thunder Hell Prison Vine's lightning pool. It was considered a relatively simple group-restricting domain!
Perhaps it could be strengthened later when his power increased.
Subsequently, nine lightning orbs gradually condensed within Hu Bai's nine fox tails. His fox tails extended outward, launching an attack from three sides of the Light Unicorn!
The Light Unicorn wanted to retreat, but its body had just entered a momentary stiffness. In that instant, all nine lightning orbs struck!
The Light Unicorn looked at Hu Bai with eyes full of resentment. It never expected to perish at the hands of a young boy!
It was a proud Light Unicorn! With its cultivation, even a two-ring Soul Grandmaster would not be its opponent—yet now it died so indignantly!
The Light Unicorn died with its eyes wide open, as if trying to remember the person before it.
After the battle, Hu Bai put away his Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Martial Soul. He didn't immediately absorb the rising thousand-year soul ring. Instead, he knelt beside the Light Unicorn's corpse, gently closed its eyes with his hand, and murmured with his eyes closed, "I hope you don't blame me. Soul Masters need soul rings to become stronger."
There is only a matter of position between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts; there is no right or wrong.
After covering the Light Unicorn's eyes, Hu Bai expanded his domain, gathering as much earth element as possible to turn over the soil next to the corpse, forming a suitable pit for the Light Unicorn to enter.
Xie Tian and Hu Leyao were also slightly stunned. Their son was very serious during battle, acting decisively, but after the Soul Beast died, he could be so gentle as to want to bury it.
Both of them sighed in their hearts. Was this good or bad?
And just at this moment, they discovered that a glow was emanating from the Light Unicorn's corpse!
The pair of light wings, which had lost their brightness, were now faintly glowing!
Holy crap!
The three of them were first stunned, and Hu Bai's mind also went blank. He turned to look at his parents. The three of them exchanged glances back and forth, falling into a long silence.
Finally, Xie Tian broke the silence first. He stepped forward and pulled Hu Bai into his embrace, not caring about the mud and blood on him in the slightest.
"Son, you truly are our family's lucky star! First, the vertical pupil external Soul Bone, and now a pair of light wing external Soul Bones! Hurry, absorb this Soul Bone and soul ring together!"
But Hu Bai shook his head, looking at Hu Leyao with extreme determination. Hu Leyao was stunned and was about to refuse.
But Hu Bai preempted her. "Mom, this external Soul Bone must be absorbed by you. If you refuse, then I won't absorb this Soul Bone either!"
Hu Bai's expression was very stubborn. He was now certain that his luck was indeed very good—unbelievably good.
He didn't know if this luck would have limitations, so he wouldn't gamble on when the next Soul Bone would appear. Although this light wing external Soul Bone was of the light attribute, what did it matter?
The Charming Fox Martial Soul didn't have any obvious attribute characteristics in terms of soul power. If one had to say an attribute, it would be the mental attribute, and it wouldn't reject a light-attribute Soul Bone.
Moreover, after absorbing this external Soul Bone, it could still be used when they performed their Martial Soul Fusion Ability, indirectly enhancing both of their strengths!
The two looked at each other for a long time, until nearly an hour had passed and the soul ring was about to dissipate. Only then did Hu Leyao agree, saying, "Then thank you, son. I'll absorb it. You quickly absorb this soul ring, or it will dissipate."
But Hu Bai said, "I want to watch you absorb this Soul Bone first."
Once absorption begins, it cannot be interrupted; otherwise, it will have a considerable impact on the body.
Hu Leyao originally thought of tricking him, but she didn't expect to fail. While she felt happy and relieved, she also felt a bit helpless.
After all, having her absorb this Soul Bone was not the best choice.
"Alright, Leyao, don't let down our son's filial piety."
