Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 541 Metacarpal Position

"The Blue Silver Butterfly Wings, this external soul bone is a bit too beautiful, even to the point that it doesn't seem like something a man should have. Having it on my back, doesn't it make me look effeminate?"

Han Tao frowned.

Compared to "butterfly wings" and other soul bones that are more "beautiful", Han Tao prefers "feathers" or "wings". However, since it is derived from the Blue Silver Grass clan, he needs to consider the difficulty of obtaining the original source and the structure of the soul bone system set, so he doesn't have many choices.

"No, no, no!"

"If it were just the Blue Silver Butterfly Feathers alone, there might be this problem, but if you combine them with your Blue Silver Gauze Robe, Blue Silver Armor, and the 'Cocoon' with the attached Soul Bone, then this effeminate quality simply won't be born."

"They interlock to form a perfect carrier."

Ah Yin hurriedly defended herself.

"Fine!"

Han Tao then sighed, "I don't actually value form and aesthetics; strength is the measure of everything."

"Currently, I already possess the brow bone (horn bone), blue silver cocoon (scale bone), and blue silver butterfly feather (wing bone). Among the external soul bones, I am still missing the hand bone and the tailbone."

"The basic soul bones are still missing three items: the torso bone, the left and right arm bones."

A million-year-old soul bone can provide 100 points of physique. If all the soul bones can be collected, the maximum value of the soul bone system, 1000 points, can be reached.

So, have you found the answer you were looking for?

The spider lily asked gently.

Through the gaps in the sunlight, the slanted image reflected the bamboo's solitary elegance. Han Tao picked up a bamboo leaf and gently sniffed it.

"Beast weapon transformation has taken the Blue Silver Priest route out of the form of a scepter."

"The scepter's body is constructed using a 5x9 structure of blue silver bamboo. At the top of the scepter is engraved a special gemstone that Ning Rongrong forged, which can imbue the scepter with the power of faith."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Ah Yin's face: "What's the connection between these things?"

"Of course there is a connection."

"According to the intelligence I recently obtained, the Blue Silver Priest can carry soul bones within its body, and the scepter, which is transformed from a beast weapon soul artifact, can naturally take this characteristic into account."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the other shore flower and Ah Yin, Han Tao carefully considered his words.

If I don't explain in more detail, they won't understand what I'm saying, and if there's no audience, I'll lose some of my interest.

"What I mean is to replace the gems on the sacrificial scepter with gem-like soul bones."

"And this gem-like soul bone is an extension of the external soul bone (hand bone position)."

Ah Yin was secretly amazed; she could always glean some admiration from Han Tao's seemingly whimsical thinking.

"That's unlikely."

"External soul bone. What is an external soul bone? It is obviously a soul bone that is attached to the body. How could it be embedded in the martial soul to form the so-called (hand bone position)?"

The Evil Eye Sovereign abruptly interrupted: "No! That's not it at all; it's utterly a woman's view!"

"Take a look at the brow bone. The martial soul is an extension of the body, and external soul bones can naturally be embedded in the martial soul."

"Come"

The burgeoning blue silver soul power guided Han Tao's body towards the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Lake of life.

"Han Tao, how have you been?"

Di Tian greeted him warmly: "What brings you here this time?"

Han Tao glanced at it.

His breathing quickened slightly as a certain ancient and powerful rhythm emanated from Di Tian.

Clearly, it obtained information about the "demon," allowing its strength to leap dramatically in a short period of time, even surpassing Tang Chen, who had just achieved godhood.

"I'm looking for Xiong Jun!"

"I need to compile relevant data on 'external soul bone - metacarpal position'."

Di Tian hummed in agreement.

Clad in golden light, with its feet firmly planted on the solid earth, it is a fusion of ultimate offense and ultimate defense. Following the will of Emperor Tian, ​​Xiong Jun slowly approached Han Tao.

"Is it the information he needs about external soul bones?"

"What if I don't have it?"

Han Tao shook his head: "No, you do!"

"Offense, defense, speed, strength—you seem to have no weaknesses or flaws, but my illusionary abilities allow me to perceive your inner emotions."

Xiong Jun's expression suddenly turned cold: "Even if I have this information, why should I tell you?"

"I can exchange it for information of equal value." Han Tao chuckled and took out his treasured diary.

Theory is not lost in the process of exchange; through repeated transactions, one gradually becomes stronger.

However, this time, Han Tao miscalculated.

“No!” Xiong Jun refused: “Theoretical data? I don’t need theoretical data. I don’t need them to provide me with additional strength.”

The claws swept across, a powerful physique piercing the air with a disturbance.

"As the king of the bear clan, I cannot grant your request, let alone humans; you are not my friends!"

Han Tao stared intently at it.

His eyes flashed with a chilling coldness, and with the power he possessed, there were more ways than just "exchange" to obtain information.

"Di Tian, ​​if I were to attack it, would you have any objections?"

Di Tian remained silent for a long while before saying, "Han Tao, do as you please!"

"However, you can't kill it!"

"If you want to kill it, I will bring many soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest to stop you."

"Hmph!" Xiong Jun scoffed, "Di Tian, ​​why are you wasting so much breath on him?"

"A mere human, even if he can defeat the Demon King with strange methods, is definitely no match for me."

"is it?"

A slight smile twitched at the corner of Han Tao's mouth.

"To defeat you, I don't even need to use any extra methods."

He clenched his fist, then suddenly swung it.

With coordinated movements, the body's strength was utilized to its fullest extent.

——Bang!

Xiong Jun's body slowly collapsed.

The arm, struck by a fist, resembled the disintegration of bones and muscles, limp and powerless, writhing into a bloody pulp.

"Bear King, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the king of the bear clan?"

Han Tao's mockery was particularly grating.

"You are not the Blue Silver Emperor. You haven't adapted to fighting against external forces. When you fight against top-tier powers, you only consider numerical values!"

Xiong Jun cried out in disbelief, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

"How could a human possibly possess such power?"

Di Tian stopped looking, and when it looked at Han Tao's body again, it gasped in shock.

"That's what numbers are!"

Han Tao slowly released his hand.

Blue Silver Demon Emperor Leg Bone, Blue Silver Emperor Leg Bone, Blue Silver Cocoon Scale Bone, Blue Silver Butterfly Wing Bone. Modifications to increase base growth potential, hidden rank, bloodline, skin, muscles, and internal organs.
Like countless tiny, insignificant details, through repeated iterations and enhancements, Han Tao has managed to create a chilling gap in physical strength between himself and the most powerful soul beasts.

"Every single number has meaning!"

"Now, you can tell me the information recorded about the condensation (hand bone position)."

Stepping on its chest, Han Tao's tone was silent.

Xiong Jun slowly propped himself up, lifting Han Tao's foot that was stomping on his chest. This had nothing to do with physique or strength, because the downward force was at most gravity.

"Humanity. Can I... Can I?"

"I'm willing to give you the information you need. Can you tell me why you are so powerful?"

Han Tao refused: "No!"

You've missed the opportunity to trade.

"Now, you have no right to make demands of me unless you can offer something that will move me."

"I don't!"

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear quickly shook its head.

Through illusion and understanding of thought, its inner thoughts and expressions are consistent. Perhaps this silly and simple-minded giant bear doesn't even understand what conspiracy and trickery are.
"No, you do!"

Han Tao said decisively, "Through your thinking, I have found a soul skill that is truly astonishing. Don't you want to tell me about it?"
