Chapter 192 Soul Bone Skill! Mental Confusion!
Inside the main hall, the purple-gold light gradually subsided, and the previously violent mental fluctuations also calmed down.
Liu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and he felt that his vision had become clearer than ever before.
The purple-gold patterns in the three pupils were so deep they seemed to devour light.
He subconsciously moved his shoulders and felt a sense of extension from behind, as if connected by blood.
He turned his head and looked at the enormous wings, which had a wingspan of over four meters and were made entirely of amethyst, with a genuine look of surprise on his face.
"Master, these wings…" Liu Yuan reached out and stroked the cold and hard amethyst feathers, feeling an extremely refined spiritual texture emanating from his fingertips.
"You little rascal, you've really hit the jackpot." Poison Immortal laughed heartily, jumped down from the boulder, circled around Liu Yuan, his eyes full of admiration.
"This is an external soul bone! Yan Shaozhe clearly gave you a spiritual body bone, but I didn't expect your spiritual power to be so strong that it mutated during the fusion process, giving birth to these wings."
"External soul bones do not occupy the six major soul bone slots, and they can evolve as your cultivation improves. Their value is even comparable to that of a 100,000-year soul bone!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan was slightly startled.
He originally only wanted to solidify his foundation, but he didn't expect such an unexpected gain.
With a slight thought, he tried to channel his soul power into the wings on his back.
"Buzz—"
The giant amethyst wings trembled violently and unfolded neatly.
Guided by Liu Yuan's consciousness, the wings fluttered lightly, creating subtle ripples in the mind.
With a sway of his body, Liu Yuan floated directly in mid-air without any external assistance, his movements as agile as if these wings were something he was born with.
"How do you feel?" Long Aotian asked curiously from the side.
"It's amazing." Liu Yuan landed on the ground, his giant wings obediently folding back like a magnificent amethyst cloak.
"It not only gave me the ability to fly, but it also seems to have become a huge mental power amplifier."
Du Busi nodded and asked impatiently, "Most external soul bones come with special soul skills."
"Liu Yuan, sense it. What abilities have these wings given you?"
Liu Yuan closed his eyes and carefully looked inward.
At the base of that amethyst wing, two brilliant lights were quietly dormant.
He opened his eyes, a cold smile curving his lips.
"Ability? Ladies and gentlemen, this kind of mental ability cannot be explained by words alone."
"You'll understand better if you experience it for yourself."
Liu Yuan's words startled Poison Immortal for a moment, then he burst into laughter: "Good! Come, let this old man see what's so special about your new treasure!"
Chen Lu and Wang Yanfeng also joined in, and Long Aotian even got into a fighting stance, wanting to see what level Liu Yuan's mental abilities had reached, given that they were both at level 59.
"Mental confusion, rise."
Liu Yuan's voice was very soft, but the giant amethyst wings behind him suddenly erupted with a gentle yet eerie purple-gold ripple.
The ripples were generated almost instantaneously and covered a very large area, instantly enveloping the entire open space in front of the main hall.
"Buzz—"
In that instant, whether it was the highly skilled Poison Undying, the newly-breakthrough Long Aotian, or Chen Lu and the others, they all felt a short but intense dizziness deep in their brains.
"Huh?" Long Aotian was the first to exclaim in surprise.
He originally intended to take a step to the left to create some distance, but his right leg moved uncontrollably to the right, and he almost fell over due to his unstable center of gravity.
Chen Lu tried to raise his left hand to rub his eyes, but instead his right hand suddenly shot up, almost slapping himself.
"What...what's going on?" Wang Yanfeng shook his head, feeling as if the scenery in front of him was spinning.
He could clearly see Liu Yuan in front of him, but his body told him that Liu Yuan was behind him.
Left and right are indistinguishable, up and down are reversed, and the senses and consciousness are completely disconnected at that moment.
The group swayed and staggered in place, looking both comical and eerie.
Even Poison Undying felt unwell for a moment.
The scene before his eyes briefly overlapped, and his sense of direction was instantly lost.
However, he was, after all, a level 98 Super Douluo, whose soul power cultivation had reached the pinnacle of this continent.
"Hmph!" Poison Undying snorted coldly, and a surge of emerald green soul power exploded within his body like thunder, forcefully dispersing the external force that was interfering with his consciousness, instantly restoring his clarity.
He looked at Long Aotian and the others who were still complaining and fighting each other, his eyes filled with shock.
"Liu Yuan, stop your magic right now, these kids are making you dizzy." Poison Immortal laughed and scolded.
With a thought, Liu Yuan closed his amethyst wings, and the purple-gold ripples instantly dissipated.
Long Aotian and his companions breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily.
Long Aotian rubbed his wrist, a wry smile on his face: "Junior brother, that move was too insidious."
"I was fully conscious and knew how to move, but my body just wouldn't obey me. This feeling was even worse than being punched directly."
Du Bu Si looked at the wings on Liu Yuan's back and exclaimed in admiration: "'Mental Confusion'. What a domineering name. In actual combat, the duel between masters often ends in an instant."
"If you suddenly do this at the critical moment when the opponent launches a fatal soul skill or defends, even if it's just a one-second perception distortion, it's enough to determine life or death."
He paused, his tone becoming extremely serious: "Especially since this skill is instantaneous, it's impossible to defend against. Liu Yuan, the skill brought by your external soul bone is simply a nightmare for all melee powerhouses."
Liu Yuan folded his wings and nodded calmly: "I felt it too. As my mental strength improves, the duration and intensity of this attack will increase. This breakthrough has indeed been very rewarding."
"Alright, stop showing off here." Poison Immortal patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder. "Ao Tian, now that you've reached level 59, go to the training ground to consolidate your skills."
"Liu Yuan, you've just acquired a great treasure. Go back and cultivate in seclusion to refine it. I have a feeling that Shrek Academy won't be peaceful either."
"Yes, Master."
Liu Yuan nodded to everyone, then with a slight movement, disappeared from the main hall in a purple afterimage.
...
Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two months, the Body Sect has entered an unprecedented period of high-intensity cultivation.
Thanks to the technical support provided by Fan Yu in the Heavenly Soul Empire, some core disciples within the Body Sect have also begun to be equipped with custom-made high-level soul tools, resulting in a steady improvement in their overall strength.
Liu Yuan, on the other hand, stayed in the secret realm behind the mountain, almost cutting off all contact with the outside world.
Within the secret realm, beside a frigid pool.
Liu Yuan sat cross-legged. Although the giant amethyst wings on his back were retracted, faint purple-gold light continued to flow along his spine and throughout his body.
In the past two months, he not only fully digested the energy of the 100,000-year-old torso bone, but also honed the two external soul bones to perfection.
His soul power had already reached the peak of level fifty-nine.
With the immense foundation provided by the 100,000-year-old soul bone, the thickness of his soul power has completely surpassed that of ordinary Soul Emperors, and is even approaching the level of Soul Saint.
Liu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and the purple-gold divine light in his triple pupils was extremely intense at this moment.
His aura continued to rise, and the surrounding cold pool water seemed unable to withstand this pressure, beginning to boil and evaporate violently.
"Great achievements come from small beginnings, and success will come naturally."
Liu Yuan muttered to himself, his expression solemn and profound.
He felt that the barrier within his body that had troubled him for so long had now developed a huge crack.
"It should be about time. Today, we can try to break through to level 60."
Liu Yuan took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and his soul power, like a sleeping dragon awakening, let out a deafening roar.
He knew that once he overcame this hurdle and obtained his sixth spirit ring, his strength would experience another earth-shattering leap.
