Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 283 Absorbing Soul Bones, Breaking Through to Soul Emperor

Four ten-thousand-year-old soul bones floated quietly in Ning Fengzhi's palm. Each one was of a quality no less than the rewards from the Soul Master Competition. If the outside world knew about them, they would surely cause a stir.

Leaving aside the legendary 100,000-year-old soul bone.

A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is already a top-tier resource.

However, at this time, Ning Fengzhi gave it to Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, do you still remember the bet between me and Platinum Bishop Salas before you went to participate in the Soul Master Competition?"

"That shameless old man actually tried to renege on his debt, but I took Uncle Jian with me, and he finally handed over the soul bone obediently."

"Of these four soul bones, two are gifts from me, one is Salas's wager, and the other is Emperor Xueye's reward to you."

"Keep the soul bone safe."

Lin Xiao took the soul bone and examined it.

The four soul bones are, in order: the left arm soul bone of the ten-thousand-year-old Fiery Phoenix, the left arm soul bone of the ten-thousand-year-old Rainbow Python, the right arm soul bone of the ten-thousand-year-old Gale Sparrow, and the right leg soul bone of the ten-thousand-year-old Ink Begonia.

Ning Feng apologized, saying:

“I know your best match should be a fire-attribute bird soul bone, but ten-thousand-year soul bones are rare. I gave you two before, and the sect has no stock left.”

"It's also very difficult to find someone to trade with..."

Before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, Lin Xiao said gratefully:
"Uncle Ning, Lin Xiao is already very touched that you went to such lengths."

"Thank you, Uncle Ning!"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, "Although the ten-thousand-year soul bone is valuable, it is really not worth mentioning compared to immortal herbs and the evolution of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"By the way, Rongrong kept thinking about you after she got home."

"Would you like to visit my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Lin Xiao said:
"I will definitely go if I have free time, but I've been very busy lately and just can't get away."

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

He stopped bothering Lin Xiao and, after delivering the soul bone, returned home decisively.

Compared to the past.

Ning Fengzhi's interactions with Lin Xiao lacked the shrewdness of a businessman...

……

After Ning Fengzhi left.

Lin Xiao found Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling and gave them the left arm soul bone of the Ten-Thousand-Year Rainbow Python and the right arm soul bone of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ink Begonia, respectively.

He explained the origin of the soul bone, and then said:
"Sister Yan Yan, Sister Ling Ling, don't slack off even after the Soul Master Competition."

"On the contrary, the game of making a living is over. From now on, every increase in strength will be closely related to the safety of yourself and those around you. You should absorb the soul bones."

Dugu Yan was still somewhat hesitant.

Ye Lingling accepted it with a smile, while simultaneously giving Dugu Yan a nudge and muttering:

"Sister Yan Yan, are you being dramatic now?"

"If we're talking about debts, how much do we owe each other? This debt has been settled for ages!"

Lin Xiao's relationship with the Ye and Dugu families has always been one of mutual benefit, intertwined with companionship and affection. It's long been a tangled mess, and it's impossible to tell who owes whom!

Dugu Yan was still grateful to Lin Xiao.

Ye Lingling, however, saw things much more clearly than her. Since it was a muddled mess, and since it couldn't be settled anyway, why bother settling the score!
If we just become one family, wouldn't the debt be settled?

Ye Lingling unceremoniously took off the Rainbow Python Soul Bone and tossed it to Dugu Yan, then glanced at Lin Xiao, "There's also a Ten-Thousand-Year Gale Sparrow Soul Bone. Are you going to give it to Bing'er?"

Lin Xiao: "..."

"Sister Lingling, you're like a mind reader!"

Ye Lingling sighed, quite wistfully:

"It's true what they say, boys grow up and leave home!"

"Little Lin Xiao, Sister Lingling doesn't care what agreement you have with Bing'er, but you promised to take care of me and Sister Yan Yan for the rest of your life!"

Lin Xiao said, "I remember."

He wasn't stupid; he vaguely sensed something unusual about Sister Yanyan and Sister Lingling's attitude towards him, but he was still young, and it wouldn't be too late to ask them for details when he came of age.

Now, he also enjoys the wonderful feeling of being childhood sweethearts.

Lin Xiao then summoned Shui Bing'er and gave her the Ten Thousand Year Gale Sparrow Soul Bone. Afterward, the four of them gathered together, protecting each other as they absorbed the Soul Bone.

After absorbing the Rainbow Python's soul bone, Dugu Yan obtained the soul bone skill "Five Colors," which allows her to absorb five kinds of toxins and temporarily increase her overall combat power. The stronger the toxin, the greater the increase.

After absorbing the Ink Begonia Soul Bone, Ye Lingling obtained the Soul Bone Skill "Gathering Ink into Rain," which increases the healing effect within the range by 50%.

Lin Xiao was amazed.

Sister Lingling's 50% increase in treatment range is already quite remarkable.

But Dugu Yan's "Five Colors" truly amazed him. How was it different from his own "Phoenix Fire Three Transformations"? Moreover, this soul skill was a perfect match for Sister Yan!
In terms of venom potency, who can compare to the evolved Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul?

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both pleasantly surprised.

Dugu Yan's soul power has reached level 54, while Ye Lingling's has reached level 49. It won't be long before they break through to the Soul King level.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the soul bone.

About half an hour later, Shui Bing'er opened her eyes, her eyes filled with surprise.

Her soul bone skill is called "Swift Wind Feather," which not only increases her own speed but also the release speed of her soul skills. Combined with the comprehensive high attributes of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, Shui Bing'er, a strong attack type, can completely chase down and fight against agility-type soul masters.

All three of them turned their gazes to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao should have been the fastest at absorbing soul bones, but in the process of absorbing soul bones, he had to go through an extra step compared to others, which was to use the three types of phoenix fire on his body to temper the soul bones.

The young man with long, red maple-colored hair sat cross-legged on the ground. His features were handsome and aloof. Three kinds of phoenix fire—crimson, jet black, and golden white—occurred on his body from time to time. The fierce fire tempered his soul bones, purifying the impurities in them and making them of higher quality.

Ye Lingling looked at Lin Xiao with considerable worry.

The moment he saw Lin Xiao's brows furrow slightly, he quickly summoned the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. Pink and white light rain enveloped Lin Xiao, continuously repairing his injuries. He also immediately used the newly acquired Soul Bone Skill "Gathering Ink into Rain".

Another half hour passed.

Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes. Before the three women around him could ask any questions, he immediately took out the Soul Bone he had won as a reward from the Soul Master Competition—the Right Arm of Exploding Burning Flames—from his storage soul tool.

The name is fancy, but the soul essence is indeed excellent.

Lin Xiao continued to absorb and refine his soul bone, while Ye Lingling's soul power was already somewhat insufficient, but she still persevered and continuously provided Lin Xiao with healing.

Only now has Ye Lingling clearly realized the gap between herself and her mother!
Ye Qingxian's seemingly effortless healing soul skill required Ye Lingling to exert all her strength just to barely keep up.

Both are wet nurses, but their milk production is vastly different!

Ye Lingling made up her mind.

She may not be able to replace her mother now, but one day she will definitely be able to replace her mother!
She's not fully grown yet; things will change once she's grown up!
