Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 194: Ma Xiaotao Promoted to Soul Saint and Exploded Soul Bone
This is a crimson three-headed eagle over 50,000 years old, a top-tier fire-type spirit beast. It possesses three heads, each capable of emitting a unique flame. Having mastered all three flames, it is said that it can even fuse them together to unleash incredibly destructive attacks.
Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up when she saw the crimson three-headed eagle. This soul beast was absolutely perfect for her and was one of the best choices for her seventh soul ring.
Her martial spirit is the Fire Phoenix, so if she wants to obtain a seventh spirit ring, it would be best if it is as closely related to the Fire Phoenix as possible.
It is naturally impossible to find the most suitable phoenix.
What she was hoping for was to find a top-tier fire spirit beast that could fly. Birds of prey were more compatible than ground-based beasts.
At this time, she actually encountered a suitable flying fire spirit beast.
"I won't be picky, this is it," Ma Xiaotao decided immediately.
"Okay." Yan Shaozhe released his martial spirit. The powerful aura caused the blood of the Crimson Three-Headed Eagle to surge, and the pressure was so great that his condition was greatly affected.
The 50,000-year-old crimson three-headed eagle lost all will to fight after sensing Yan Shaozhe's powerful aura and decisively fled.
"Can we leave?" Yan Shaozhe snorted, full of confidence.
Nine soul rings appeared, intending to end the battle quickly.
Shi Yu, Ma Xiaotao, and Shi Xing stood together, watching with great interest.
Seeing Yan Shaozhe only used one soul skill to knock the crimson three-headed eagle to the ground, I couldn't help but feel a little more respect for my senior brother. He is really strong.
He used his fifth soul skill, which could almost instantly kill a soul beast that was over 50,000 years old. This strength was truly formidable.
I don't think that Yan Shaozhe's use of soul skills means he is not strong enough. A large part of a soul master's strength is reflected in his soul skills.
A soul master who uses soul skills and a soul master who doesn't use soul skills are completely different.
Ten thousand years ago, Tang San was in the Slaughter City. He was able to kill so many Soul Saints with only his Soul King cultivation. What did Soul Douluo rely on?
It wasn't their own strength, but the fact that they couldn't use their spirit skills inside that narrowed the biggest gap between the two sides.
If both sides could use their spirit abilities, Tang San would be the one to die, there was no doubt about that.
If one Contra couldn't kill him, could several Contras joining forces kill him?
From this we can see how much influence the use of soul skills has on the strength of the soul master.
Soul masters like Moon and Xuan Lao can have terrifying combat power without using their soul skills, but that's not to say they really haven't used their soul skills.
Rather, his mastery of soul skills was too strong, and he was so proficient that he could use soul skills without lighting up soul rings.
Their seemingly terrifying moves were likely due to the use of spirit skills, not the unused spirit ring skills that appeared to the naked eye.
"Bang!" The crimson three-headed eagle fell to the ground, barely breathing. The only reason it was still alive was because Yan Shaozhe had held back, deliberately sparing its life.
Ma Xiaotao ran over excitedly and quickly dealt the final blow to the crimson three-headed eagle.
"I've absorbed the spirit ring," Ma Xiaotao informed, then sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the spirit ring.
Yan Shaozhe stayed by her side and would not let any soul beasts come to disturb her.
Shi Yu and Shi Xing also approached. The former looked around, wondering where the inheritance site was.
He didn't feel any abnormality in the space during this journey.
The inheritance site might not be on the surface, otherwise the exact location of the Phoenix God's inheritance site would not be unknown.
He speculated that this place of inheritance might be in an underground space, or there might be a special small space here, similar to the Dragon Valley, which required finding the right place to tear open a space channel.
He used his spatial ability to sense as much as he could, but found nothing.
This may be because it is not close enough to sense it.
It could also be that his cultivation wasn't strong enough to sense the existence of that small space or underground space.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, when Ma Hongjun obtained the inheritance of the Phoenix God, the inheritance site also disappeared.
"It would have been better to come here ten thousand years ago to search for it," Shi Yu thought.
I silently noted this place down, and if I go back ten thousand years, I will definitely come back to look for it.
I might not be able to obtain the inheritance of the God of Fire or the God of Phoenix, but passing some basic assessments should be no problem. If I could get one or two divinely bestowed spirit rings, that would be even better.
What he is thinking about now is the God-given spirit ring, which can save him from the trouble of obtaining spirit rings.
Ma Xiaotao absorbed this spirit ring relatively smoothly. It took her five hours to successfully absorb it and obtained her seventh spirit ring.
A resounding phoenix cry rang out, and a flaming phoenix soared into the sky. Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes, stood up, and with a mighty leap, she caught up with the flaming phoenix.
The two merged into one, and Ma Xiaotao disappeared. Only a flaming phoenix remained in the sky, bathed in blazing flames, leaving traces of flame wherever it passed.
Yan Shaozhe showed a look of satisfaction, as his disciple had unknowingly cultivated to the level of Soul Saint.
He had the feeling of an old father watching his daughter grow up.
In fact, he really treated Ma Xiaotao as his own daughter and took good care of her from the moment he accepted her as his apprentice.
Ma Xiaotao manifested her spirit form and flew in the sky for a while, then her spirits cooled down and she landed on the ground, her smile radiant.
"Teacher, I have become a Soul Saint!" Ma Xiaotao and Yan Shaozhe shared their joy.
Yan Shaozhe nodded in satisfaction, and with a flip of his hand, a soul bone appeared in his palm.
"This is..." Ma Xiaotao initially thought her teacher was giving her a soul bone, but soon she sensed a familiar aura on it, very similar to that of the crimson three-headed eagle.
"You're lucky! This crimson three-headed eagle has unearthed a soul bone that's over 50,000 years old. Its quality is truly rare," Yan Shaozhe said with a smile.
When Ma Xiaotao was absorbing the spirit ring, he helped her touch the body of the crimson three-headed eagle and surprisingly found a piece of spirit bone.
The probability of a soul bone dropping from a soul beast over 50,000 years old increases significantly, but it's still less than 10%. It's considered a stroke of luck to be able to drop such a complete soul bone.
"I'm so lucky!" Ma Xiaotao happily took it and couldn't let it go.
This soul bone might be better for her than any soul bone that is eighty thousand or ninety thousand years old. After all, it and the soul ring come from the same soul beast. After absorbing it, the two will interact with each other, increasing the power of each other.
Shi Yu also congratulated Ma Xiaotao and was happy for her.
"I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for your magical herb, I wouldn't have achieved the Soul Saint level so quickly." Ma Xiaotao looked at Shi Yu with a much softer gaze than before.
Shi Yu smiled and said nothing more.
After a brief rest, they returned the same way. The next step was to help Shi Yu obtain the spirit ring in the Xingdou Great Forest.
