Chapter 51: Another Soul Bone? Yue Guan: How about you let me pet it?
Ling Yuan stood by as a Protector for Xie Tian and Hu Leyao, while Yue Guan focused his gaze on the Man-faced Demon Spider Emperor and Datura Snake King that refused to leave.
At Hu Bai's signal, Yue Guan didn't hesitate, releasing his eighth Soul Skill, Gate of Holy Light!
This eighth Soul Skill was his strongest single-target attack Soul Skill, where a powerful beam of light would fire from the pistil of his Chrysanthemum Martial Soul to attack the opponent. With his Super Douluo level of control, Yue Guan precisely split these two beams of light into two, landing them separately on the two Soul Beasts.
These two Soul Beasts were already injured, and now, under Yue Guan's full-power strike, their bodies were directly pierced by the energy beams!
And to everyone's surprised gazes, a Soul Bone radiating a rich purple hue slowly floated up from the Man-faced Demon Spider Emperor's corpse.
"This… this is!" Yue Guan guided the Soul Bone over with his soul power, and upon seeing it, exclaimed, "A fifty-thousand-year Human-faced Demon Spider Emperor Right Leg Bone!"
Not only was Yue Guan shocked, but even Dugu Bo and Ling Yuan felt something was off, and they all looked at Hu Bai.
Hu Bai: ...
He could explain the Soul Gathering Charm Skull that just appeared as something originally present in the novel, but he had intercepted it first.
But what about this one?
It wasn't in the original novel!
Yue Guan ignored the shock and envy in Dugu Bo's and Ling Yuan's eyes, and handed the Soul Bone to Hu Bai: "Kid, this Soul Bone is yours. You decide what to do with it."
This Soul Bone, possessing a poison attribute, was not suitable for his Chrysanthemum; his Martial Soul was not suited for poison.
Moreover, he already had a Wolftaken Right Leg Bone, and its position overlapped with this Soul Bone.
As a Super Douluo, at his age, he had killed countless Soul Beasts, but it had never been as simple as today. Four Soul Beasts over fifty thousand years old, yielding a total of two Soul Bones, a fifty percent probability—who would believe that if it were told?
He certainly didn't believe it!
In this, Hu Bai's Luck power deserved a large share of the credit, so he couldn't claim the Soul Bone for himself.
Furthermore, he had already obtained a Soul Bone and two Immortal Herbs thanks to Hu Bai's suggestion!
Yue Guan was now thinking that after returning this time, he must show off to Old Ghost and make him ask about his Breakthrough experience, then he would take out the Immortal Herb he had prepared for him.
Old Ghost used to think that his daily research on these Immortal Herbs was useless, but facts proved that Immortal Herbs played a huge role!
"Hehe, then thank you, Uncle Yue. This Soul Bone is just right for my dad. Both my mom and dad got a Soul Bone from this Soul hunting trip." Hu Bai smiled and thanked Yue Guan.
Yue Guan chuckled and in a slightly teasing tone, said, "Then how will you thank me? How about when you use Martial Soul Possession, you let me pet those ears and tails of yours?"
Hu Bai: ...
No, why does someone in this World also have a fetish for petting beast-eared girls?
Oh, wait, he's a boy, not some beast-eared girl.
To be honest, he couldn't find any fault with his appearance; this wasn't him being narcissistic.
As a Modern person from Blue Star, who could refuse the triple buff temptation of white hair, beast-eared person, and shota?
However, the shota attribute would soon disappear, after all, the soul ring in this World has the effect of accelerating growth. He hoped that he could grow to be a bit more masculine and resolute.
Hu Bai took a slight half-step back, his expression filled with disdain: "Uncle Yue, you should go find Uncle Ghost instead. You two have a better relationship; I'm out. As I said before, I like women, not men."
Yue Guan's face stiffened slightly, and he cursed with a smile, "Go away, go away, you wouldn't think I like men, would you?"
"Aren't you?"
"Hahahaha—" Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh out loud from the side; the conversation between the big and small duo was too amusing.
Hu Bai's sincere and confident tone made Yue Guan feel helpless.
Actually, among them, the Man-faced Demon Spider Emperor Soul Bone that dropped was most suitable for Dugu Bo. Before he condensed a true Soul Core, Soul Bones were still very helpful to Dugu Bo, as they could guide excess toxins into the Soul Bone.
Even if he already had a skull that could guide poison, Dugu Yan didn't have one yet.
However, even knowing it was most suitable for Dugu Bo, he couldn't be so generous as to give him a fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone instead of to his own family.
He indeed had a good impression of Dugu Bo, but it wasn't to the extent that he would give away such a valuable Soul Bone after only knowing him for a short time; he wasn't crazy.
Perhaps there would be an opportunity in the future, but not now!
Ling Yuan on the side also withdrew her envious gaze. She secretly cheered herself on, vowing that from now on, she must get well acquainted with Hu Bai and put in her best effort from now on!
It was shameful to say, although she was already a Titled Douluo, she didn't even have a single Soul Bone on her.
One day and one night passed.
Xie Tian and Hu Leyao finally finished absorbing their soul rings. The seventy-thousand-year soul rings were already very close to their physical limits, so the absorption was relatively slow.
And both of their levels directly increased to eighty-two and a half!
Normally, when other Soul Saints advance to Soul Douluo, it only increases by a little over one level.
Hu Leyao didn't stop and began absorbing the dropped head bone, while Xie Tian initially thought he was done, but then saw Hu Bai hand him a Soul Bone.
This made him slightly stunned before he reacted: "This… this is the Human-faced Demon Spider Emperor's Right Leg Bone?!"
Hu Bai nodded: "Yes, those two Soul Beasts didn't retreat, so I had Uncle Yue kill them. Very fortunately, another Soul Bone dropped. Dad, you should absorb it."
Xie Tian didn't take it immediately; he first glanced at Yue Guan. Seeing that he had no objections, he thought that the two must have agreed while he was absorbing his soul ring, and he happily accepted the Soul Bone.
Right now, he had only one feeling: awesome, too awesome!
Although he didn't get a matching soul ring and Soul Bone like Leyao, getting such a Right Leg Bone was still a gain for him!
Yue Guan secretly calculated that after absorbing these two Soul Bones, Xie Tian should be able to reach level eighty-four soul power, and Hu Leyao would be level eighty-five. If the two of them performed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it would be enough to contend against an ordinary Titled Douluo below level 95!
Once they both advance to Titled Douluo in the future, it will be another major combat force for the Spirit Hall!
After absorbing the eighth soul ring, Xie Tian and Hu Leyao absorbed their Soul Bones much faster, completing it in less than two hours!
And just as Yue Guan had predicted, Xie Tian and Hu Leyao's soul power levels reached eighty-four and eighty-five, respectively!
