Chapter 74: Tang Hao Drops a Full Set of Ten-thousand-year Soul Bones
"A full set of Ten-thousand-year Soul Bones. Tang Hao really feasted well. Chu Chen, your strength is going to have a qualitative leap now."
Seeing these six Soul Bones emitting an extraordinary aura, even as a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo had never seen such a sight. He had never fought such a wealthy battle before!
"..."
Chu Chen shook his head and took the initiative to give up these six Soul Bones.
"Tang Hao's six Soul Bones are basically of the strength and defense attributes, and they are all Ten-thousand-year Soul Bones... I won't absorb them."
"I want to save my Soul Bone slots for even more powerful ones."
Although Chu Chen currently only possessed one Divine Rank Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone and one Hundred-thousand-year Soft Bones Rabbit Soul Bone,
he wouldn't waste his remaining Soul Bone slots to absorb Tang Hao's ordinary Ten-thousand-year Soul Bones!
Although these things were extremely precious.
Chu Chen would rather wait until he had sufficient strength to hunt Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts or even Ferocious beasts to obtain their Soul Rings and Soul Bones!
He wouldn't rashly absorb them for short-term gain.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be wasting Soul Bone slots and even affecting his cultivation?
"You brat... Soul Bones are rare treasures, and you're actually turning them down?"
Dugu Bo's expression was strange.
Chu Chen smiled and still chose to give them up. "Old Poison, you probably only have one Skull Spirit Bone. Although the attack and strength attributes don't quite suit your Martial Soul, they will still be of great help to you."
"You should absorb them."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately wanted to say something.
But Chu Chen immediately interrupted him. "No need to say more. You've helped me so much. Without you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to kill Tang Hao on my own."
"We're brothers, so what's there to say!"
Dugu Bo swallowed his words back down. He gave Chu Chen a grateful look and said deeply, "Thanks, Chu Chen."
"I'll only take the two Arm Spirit Bones. You keep the remaining four. Even if you don't absorb them yourself, if you meet someone worth befriending in the future, you can use the Soul Bones as a favor."
Dugu Bo's tone also carried a hint of being beyond doubt.
Soul Bones were simply too precious!
In Dugu Bo's eyes, even choosing just two of them made them priceless treasures. Since things had reached this point, Chu Chen didn't say anything more.
He handed the two Arm Spirit Bones to Dugu Bo.
"Let's go. We're heading back to Emperor Soul Village. While you're absorbing the Soul Bones, I'll go back and visit Grandpa Village Chief and the others."
"These Soul Bones are too conspicuous. It's not good for us to stay here."
Chu Chen took the remaining four Soul Bones.
Two Leg Spirit Bones, one Torso Spirit Bone, and one Skull Spirit Bone were all put into his bag. Just as Dugu Bo said, even if he couldn't use them himself, he could certainly use them to buy favors in the future.
Even a Titled Douluo would be envious of a single Soul Bone!
Just like that, Dugu Bo arrived at the back mountain of Emperor Soul Village, the place where Chu Chen had secretly cultivated Life Energy when his Martial Soul first awakened!
Absorbing them here was quite safe.
...
"Grandpa Village Chief!"
Chu Chen returned to the familiar Emperor Soul Village. Coming back here again, he saw Tutu from afar, cooling off in the courtyard.
The familiar voice made Tutu open his eyes.
He also saw Chu Chen and was overjoyed, even shedding tears of excitement.
"Child, you're finally back. Grandpa and everyone in the village missed you very much."
Tutu stepped forward quickly to welcome Chu Chen back. Although he was elderly, his body was still robust. However, after all these years, his once upright posture had gradually begun to hunch.
Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a bit saddened.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm back. I've come to see you all. Is everyone doing well?"
Chu Chen sat down and chatted happily with Tutu.
During their conversation, he took out a Medicinal Herb picked from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Although it wasn't an Immortal Herb, it could still be considered an incredibly precious Medicinal Herb.
After all, Tutu was just an ordinary person without Soul Power. He wouldn't be able to withstand the surging energy of an Immortal Herb, so this kind of Medicinal Herb was most suitable for him!
Tutu didn't know what it was.
But under Chu Chen's persistent persuasion, he eventually consumed the Medicinal Herb. The pure power transformed into a warm current within his body, seemingly causing some changes!
It was evident that he looked more radiant, and his whole being seemed more energetic.
"Inside Grandpa Village Chief's body... a trace of Soul Power aura has actually emerged." Chu Chen keenly sensed that faint trace of Soul Power aura within Tutu.
His Physique had actually produced a wisp of Soul Power under the improvement of the Medicinal Herb!
Although it wouldn't make him some kind of powerhouse or a Soul Master in the future, it significantly improved his physical fitness.
"Xiao Chen, what did you give me to eat?"
Tutu asked Chu Chen with concern, "You haven't been back for so long. I was worried you didn't have enough money out there. Are you eating well? Last time you told me you were going to the Royal Academy in Heaven Dou City. How is it there?"
A surge of warmth welled up in Chu Chen's heart.
This simple old man before him never asked about how much his Soul Power had improved or whether he could rename Emperor Soul Village!
He always asked whether he was doing well.
"I'm doing great, Grandpa. I've already become a Soul King. Give me a few more years, and I'll become a Titled Douluo for you to see. When that time comes, our village can change its name!"
Chu Chen said to Tutu with a smile.
"Good, that's good. Child, you've worked hard." Tutu's hands trembled with excitement. He held Chu Chen's hand and reminisced with him.
Chu Chen felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He actually wanted to bring Tutu back to Heaven Dou City with him. With his current connections, finding a place for him to live would be incredibly easy. That way, he could see him often.
But as the head of a village, how could he leave?
This was the place where generations had lived; he couldn't leave.
Therefore, Chu Chen thought to himself that he should come back every once in a while to visit everyone in Emperor Soul Village!
Two hours later, Dugu Bo arrived as well.
After successfully absorbing the two Soul Bones, Dugu Bo's Soul Power directly rose to rank ninety-five. He was incredibly excited and came up to give Chu Chen an enthusiastic hug. "Haha, Chu Chen, you're my own brother!"
Chu Chen: "..."
Tutu was very welcoming and invited Dugu Bo to stay as a guest.
Just like that, Chu Chen and Dugu Bo stayed in Emperor Soul Village for a day. After seeing that Tutu was in good health, Chu Chen felt at ease.
He bid farewell to Tutu and set off on the road back to Heaven Dou City with Dugu Bo!
