Chapter 71: External Soul Bone – Radiance Wing! Dugu Bo: Why do you say Hu Bai is a lucky star?
While Qian Renxue was absorbing her soul ring, Qian Daoliu also asked everyone, "Xiao Xue will probably need to obtain her fifth soul ring later. Have you all thought about what kind of soul rings you want to obtain?"
Dugu Yan and the others had already considered this. Since they had come to the Star Dou Great Forest with many powerful experts, they naturally wanted to encounter some rare Soul Beasts.
After carefully considering what Hu Bai said, she also had an idea: she would take the strong offense route!
Hu Bai had another suggestion: because Dugu Yan's Martial Soul had absorbed the Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flower, its potential for evolution was very high.
He suggested that Dugu Yan's soul rings should primarily be Dragon-type. At the very least, she should absorb snake-type Soul Beasts with Dragon Clan Bloodline. This might allow her Martial Soul to evolve toward a pure-blooded True Dragon!
However, the Jade Phosphor Serpent is inherently a True Dragon species and possesses True Dragon Bloodline. So, by studying the soul ring types of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and focusing on Dragon-type Soul Beasts, the probability of Martial Soul evolution and the strength of Soul Skills could be greatly enhanced.
As for Xie Yue, since his Martial Soul now possesses a certain spatial attribute, in addition to adopting Xie Tian's first six soul rings—configured to enhance Soul Skills—if he encounters a spatial Soul Beast, he should prioritize choosing it. As for what Soul Skill the soul ring will grant him, he doesn't care!
One must know that the Soul Skills bestowed by spatial-attribute Soul Beasts are definitely not weak.
This also benefits the subsequent evolution of Xie Yue's Moon Blade Martial Soul.
Yes, although Xie Yue's Martial Soul has spatial attributes and has undergone some evolution, Hu Bai and he both believe that Xie Yue's Martial Soul could only be said to have 'grown' after absorbing the Immortal Herb; it hasn't fully evolved yet, as it still lacks a certain aura.
To fully evolve, the configuration of the soul rings becomes especially important. If configured well, perhaps when Xie Yue obtains his fifth soul ring, the Moon Blade can complete its evolution and truly possess spatial attributes, allowing him to use them freely!
However, spatial-attribute Soul Beasts are probably very rare in the Star Dou Great Forest, which has many types of Soul Beasts—unless a large amount of time is spent searching.
A thorough search is impossible.
As for Hu Liena and Ye Lingling's soul rings, that was straightforward. Hu Liena needed a mental-attribute Soul Beast, while Ye Lingling could have any Soul Beast, as long as the attributes didn't conflict.
At that moment, three pairs of golden wings suddenly grew out from behind Qian Renxue, who was originally absorbing her soul ring normally!
Holy cow!
Holy cow!
Holy cow!
This sudden development shocked everyone present!
These were not the energy wings bestowed by the Seraphim Martial Soul on Qian Renxue, but an External Soul Bone!
Generally speaking, External Soul Bones are rarely dropped directly; instead, they appear during the Soul Master's absorption process.
The vertical eye External Soul Bone and the light wing External Soul Bone that Hu Bai and Hu Leyao encountered in previous drops were truly rare!
"Wow! Second Brother, Sister Xue actually obtained an External Soul Bone! Her luck is incredible! You are our lucky star!" Hu Liena looked at the golden wings behind Qian Renxue, feeling a bit envious.
Regarding the term "lucky star," Dugu Bo and the others, who were unaware of the situation, looked very confused. Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu and the others were ecstatic inside!
The Six-Winged Radiance Sparrow's wing External Soul Bone perfectly matches the Seraphim Martial Soul's wings!
From its appearance, there is almost no difference.
At this moment, Qian Renxue could also feel the changes in her body. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and she clenched her silver teeth, clearly enduring great pressure.
Compared to the physical pressure, her mental strain was even greater.
In her Spiritual Sea, Qian Renxue looked at the Six-Winged Radiance Sparrow formed by resentment and snorted coldly, "You weren't my opponent when you were alive. Do you think you can impact my Spiritual Sea with this sliver of resentment after death?"
The next moment, a fierce golden light emanated from Qian Renxue's forehead, forming a skull on her forehead.
Just like in the original work, this skull bestowed upon her the ability to disguise herself and a significant amplification of her mental power.
After activating the Soul Bone, a golden energy condensed from her mental power shot straight toward the Six-Winged Radiance Sparrow!
Actually, Qian Renxue had not had the skull for long and had not yet learned how to use the mental impact skill, but since this was within her Spiritual Sea, her control over mental power had greatly increased.
Outside.
Dugu Yan looked at the extremely high-quality head Soul Bone on Qian Renxue's forehead. While she was greatly shocked, she also understood why Qian Renxue could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring for her fourth.
With such a high-quality Soul Bone enhancing her mental power, Qian Renxue's mental strength had probably already broken through to Spirit King level!
Spirit Hall truly has a vast foundation!
Dugu Bo sighed in his heart. Not to mention the Clear Sky Sect, which had already sealed itself off, even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—whose juniors possessed many Soul Bones—probably didn't have many Soul Bones over ten thousand years old. Especially the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Ning Fengzhi might have some, being the Sect Master after all.
But Gu Rong and Chen Xin likely do not. They both joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after becoming Titled Douluo. They wouldn't look down on ordinary Soul Bones, and they probably wouldn't encounter many high-quality Soul Bones.
With their current soul power levels, unless it was a thirty-thousand or even fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone, they probably wouldn't even consider it.
At this moment, Dugu Bo finally asked the question that had just arisen in his mind: "Why do you say Hu Bai is a lucky star? Could the appearance of this Soul Bone be related to this little guy?"
With Dugu Bo's strength, he naturally couldn't discern that Hu Bai's Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Martial Soul possessed the power of Luck.
And Qian Daoliu also noticed that as Hu Bai's strength increased, the faint white light emanating from him was continuously strengthening!
Though it was called white light, only Qian Daoliu could barely see it.
Even Bibi Dong, who had undergone the Rakshasa God Assessment, with her current strength, would not notice it without the Rakshasa God's subtle reminder.
Qian Daoliu had a conjecture: when Hu Bai's strength reaches a certain level in the future, could the accumulation of this Luck power turn passive into active?
Moreover, the power of Luck is linked to destiny. Will Hu Bai be able to control others' destinies someday?
Qian Daoliu knew that his conjecture was somewhat daring!
He was still clear about Dugu Bo's character. Since he chose to join Spirit Hall, he would not betray it. So he said, "That's because this little guy's Martial Soul seems to have a slight blessing of Luck. You should have experienced it yourself."
As soon as these words were spoken, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply. He thought of the scene in Sunset Forest where Xie Tian and Hu Leyao obtained their eighth soul rings.
He initially believed they were just lucky, as the Soul Beasts they hunted were of high age, making it not too surprising for a Soul Bone to drop.
But now he realized it was not just luck on their part—Hu Bai's power of Luck was blessing them from the side!
