Zhuqing slowly turned her head as she thought.
'What's wrong with my tail? Why does the feedback feel weird?'
The moment her eyes landed on the two tails behind her back, one her original the other which looked eerily similar to the Soul Beast she just killed, The Nether Flame Phantom Dark Panther.
She instantly let go of Hanrui and reached out and touched the other tail and felt the connection with it, the tail detached itself from her back and easily came into her hand and twitched into a whip.
One end of the tail she was holding turned into a leather hold while the rest of the tail turned spiky with a Nether Flame lit on it.
Still confused about the whole thing, she turned around and asked Hanrui.
"Brother Hanrui, why do I have another tail and why did it suddenly turn into a whip?"
"It's an External Soul Bone, it's harder to find than the regular Soul Bone and is even more valuable.
Because, an External Soul Bone grows with the cultivation and no one can steal it once it completely fuses with you.
It won't drop even if the person who absorbed the External Soul Bone dies, like other Soul Bones.
Connect with it and see what Soul Skill you got." He explained and said, eager to know the benefits she received.
Zhuqing nodded and closed her eyes for a second and communicated with the Soul Bone.
"It's passive increases all my attributes by 50% and my Speed and Reflex by 100%.
It will increase all my attack damage by infusing Nether Flame, dealing both physical and spiritual damage.
It has the ability to grow and shorten in length and width.
It can also detach itself and become different weapons but for now it can only turn into a whip." Zhuqing said excitedly as she opened her eyes.
'I was wondering if it could change, thankfully it can. A whip is not a suitable weapon for Qing'er who relies more on her speed.
It's really surprising though, to think she not only got an external Soul Bone but one that can detach and become a weapon.' Hanrui thought.
"Good for you, Qing'er." Hanrui said as he pinched her cheeks.
"Now, tell me about your 1st Soul Skill." He asked, in a curious tone.
Instead of directly answering she summoned her 1st Soul Ring and used her Soul Skill.
'Nether Flame Shadow Clone.'
Instantly 2 identical copies of Zhuqing appeared on either side of her.
As she was dismissing the External Soul Bone, One of the copies suddenly spoke up.
"As the name suggests, the Soul Skill creates 2 Nether Flame Shadow Clones.
Each clone has 80% of the original body's Strength and Speed.
If the clone is defeated, it will explode and create Explosion and Nether Flame damage.
If trained properly and only one Clone is summoned, the Strength and Speed of the clone is increased to 90% of the original."
"Qing'er?" Hanrui exclaimed as he noticed the difference in temperament of this Nether Flame Shadow Clone.
The Nether Flame Shadow Clone who just spoke nodded.
"Rui-ge, I'm here." She replied with adoration in her tone and the way she looked at him.
Hanrui approached her and ruffled her hair gently.
"Have you customized the Soul Skill so you can roam about on your own?" He asked her.
Zhuqing(MS) nodded her head without hiding anything. "Yes and No, I customized the Soul Skill to bring out more power.
Although I wanted to customize it so one of the clones can hold my consciousness without breaking, I didn't want my younger self to get the short end of the stick.
So I strictly used the Soul Power to slightly enhance the Soul Skill and redirected most of the Soul Power to the External Soul Bone.
I even added my own Soul Power into it, making the external Soul Bone reach the 6000 year mark.
Once the External Soul Bone reaches 10,000 year cultivation, it will gain a Shadow Sneak Soul Skill, Thanks to my Soul Power.
Shadow Sneak as the name suggests, it will allow the user to hide in shadows for sneak attack. It's also immune to spiritual detection so long as the level difference isn't so big.
Anyway, I got excited and went off topic, so as I was saying, I was doing all that so I didn't have time to customize the Soul Skill for my needs.
It can probably only hold me for 5 mins at most, after that it will explode." She explained.
Hanrui kissed her forehead, seeing her feeling a bit down.
"Don't be sad, Qing'er, you get a chance to customize it again once the 1st Soul Ring reaches 10,000 year level.
Then you can freely come out and do whatever you want.
After all, your soul power is used to enhance little Zhuqing's physique and Soul Rings right?" Hanrui said with a smile.
Zhuqing, seeing her older self, feeling down, reached out her hand to hold the hand of her older self.
"You can switch with me whenever you want." She said with the most innocent eyes.
