Douluo: I'll take the benefits, you bear the side effects

"It's actually a torso bone."

Ning Chuan raised his hand and inhaled, and a black torso bone of no less quality than the skull of wisdom condensed from spirit came into view.

At this moment, Ah Yin flew over and floated in front of him. "Brother, quickly absorb it. This torso bone is much more precious to you than those 100,000-year-old soul bones."

"How so?" Ning Chuan asked curiously. If it were a soul bone in the limbs, he could absorb it without any hesitation, since he had two super healers, Ah Yin and Ye Lingling, who could peel it off and replace it at any time.

But the torso bones cannot be replaced.

"Generally speaking, no matter how precious or powerful the skills attached to the six parts of the soul bone are, as long as they are not 100,000 years old, they can never compare to a 100,000-year-old soul bone or an external soul bone. However, there is one exception: if the part has an external soul bone that comes from the same soul beast as the soul bone, as long as they can be fused together, then the soul bone can evolve along with the external soul bone."

Ah Yin didn't have time to think.

Although she lost many of her past memories, she didn't forget any of her knowledge about soul beasts.

"It turns out it can still be like this."

This was the first time Ning Chuan had heard of such a thing. He had originally planned to reserve the location of the torso bone for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

But since it can evolve, that's a different story.

This means that this torso bone, like the Eight Spider Lances, has limitless potential. Evolving it into a god-level form wouldn't be difficult.

It may even become a super artifact in the future, which is no longer a dream.

It's incomparable to a soul bone that's a million years old.

“Ah Yin, you stay here and protect me. I will absorb this torso bone now.”

As he spoke, Ning Chuan sat down cross-legged, pressed the torso bone against his chest, and while fusing with the torso bone, he did not forget to use the devouring ability of the Eight Spider Spears to devour the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King.

As the soul bone fused, Ning Chuan gradually sensed the connection between this torso bone and the Eight Spider Lances that were devouring the energy of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King.

Ning Chuan channeled the energy of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King into the soul bone, and to his surprise, he found that it actually improved the quality of the soul bone.

Ning Chuan even suspected that if he absorbed other parts of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul bone, with the assistance of the Eight Spider Spears, he could also increase the age of that soul bone.

However, Ning Chuan also knew that this was unrealistic, not to mention that the soul bone of the human-faced demon spider was not something that could be easily obtained.

Even if there were so many human-faced demon spider soul bones, there wouldn't be enough human-faced demon spiders for him to devour and evolve.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

When Ning Chuan opened his eyes, the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King, along with the energy contained in its soul ring, had been devoured by the Eight Spider Lances.

Seventy thousand years!
Ning Chuan quickly sensed the current age of this soul bone.

After absorbing all the energy of the human-faced demon spider, the quality of this soul bone improved for nearly 20,000 years, and then stopped improving, instead focusing all its energy on improving the external soul bone.

It seems that the prerequisite for this soul bone to be upgraded is that the quality of the external soul bone must be up to par.

Ning Chuan thought to himself.

"Brother, how do you feel?" Ah Yin asked expectantly. Ning Chuan rubbed her little head. "Not bad. After absorbing this soul bone, my soul power increased to level 66, and this torso bone has been upgraded to about 70,000 years old. It also granted me a Spider God Possession Soul Bone Skill that the Human-Faced Spider King used before. After being used, it can be activated simultaneously with the Eight Spider Lances, which can amplify all my attributes by 100%. It can be considered as indirectly granting me a Martial Soul True Body skill, except that this Martial Soul is myself."

"Will using this soul bone technique result in a decline in cultivation level, like the Human-Faced Demon Spider?" Ah Yin asked somewhat nervously.

Although it knows a lot about soul beasts, it is not so clear about the cultivation of soul masters.

Ning Chuan shook his head and laughed, "If it has such a side effect, then it wouldn't be worthy of the quality of this soul bone. It's just that it consumes a lot of soul power after use. With my current cultivation level, I can probably only use it for about three minutes before I reach my limit."

If you include Tang Ritian's power bank, Ning Chuan feels it can last for half an hour.

This was even with Tang Ritian just standing there dumbfounded. If the other party were to recover while Ning Chuan was to deplete his resources, it wouldn't be a problem for them to hold out for several days.

Hearing this, Ah Yin finally smiled with relief. "This is only temporary. If we can raise it to 100,000 years, the soul power consumption should be reduced a lot, and the amplification effect will also be improved accordingly. However, the human-faced demon spiders that are over 5,000 years old in Sunset Forest have basically been killed by my brother. We need to find another place."

Ning Chuan nodded, quickly determined the direction, and flew towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

A quarter of an hour later, Ning Chuan was flying over the outer edge of Sunset Forest when his expression suddenly changed. He veered slightly and shot off towards a certain place.

As a result, he only flew a few miles before hearing bursts of explosions ahead, and faint sounds of tiger roars and phoenix cries could be heard.

The two looked at the same time, and Ah Yin said, "Brother, it looks like the Blood Demon Tiger you encountered before."

In the past three months, Ning Chuan had fought against almost every high-level soul beast in Sunset Forest in his search for the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and this Blood Demon Tiger was no exception.

He simply beat him up and left because he didn't need the other's spirit ring or help evolve his spirit bone. He didn't kill him.
I plan to keep it as a spare soul ring for the kitten in the future.

After all, the other party's cultivation level has reached 50,000 years, which is a good choice for the kitten.

Unexpectedly, they ended up on the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

"It looks like they're fighting with human soul masters. Let's go take a look."

Ning Chuan released a Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, stepped on it, and flew over there. Although he could fly using his soul bone, it was still not advisable to expose the soul bone to people.

The two bounty hunters we encountered on the outskirts of Blue Silver Forest serve as a cautionary tale.

If it were two Soul Masters coming, things might not be so easy.

A moment later, Ning Chuan finally saw the Blood Demon Tiger.

The Blood Demon Tiger, as its name suggests, is entirely blood-red. Like the Dark Demon God Tiger, it is a mutated species of the White Tiger, only not as powerful as the Dark Demon God Tiger.

However, it is still significantly stronger than other soul beasts of the same level. Among soul beasts over 50,000 years old, it is no weaker than the Human-Faced Demon Spider King.

Opposite it was an ice phoenix that was seven meters long. Fighting the blood demon tiger alongside the ice phoenix was a female soul saint, whom Ning Chuan recognized.

He was the team leader of Tianshui Academy who participated in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition a few years ago.

At this moment, the human and the phoenix were desperately trying to fend off the pursuit of the Blood Demon Tiger, which was over 50,000 years old. (End of Chapter)
