Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 166 Suspicion
"The Soul Bone Fusion Skill is an extremely rare and special skill according to records. The conditions for such a skill to appear are extremely demanding. It requires the Soul Master to absorb Soul Bones of extremely high quality that can influence or connect with each other. Then, under the effect of the Soul Master's Soul Power, it transforms into armor, greatly enhancing the Soul Master's strength."

As a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong had some knowledge of these secrets of Soul Masters.

Soul Bone Fusion Skills are even rarer than Martial Soul Fusion Skills. Such skills can only appear on Soul Masters who are close to or already possess a complete set of Soul Bones. Furthermore, Soul Bones can influence or connect with each other. Even if someone possesses a complete set of Soul Bones, the probability of having such a skill is less than one in a thousand.

Ning Rongrong looked at the gradually improving armor on Ding Quan's body, as well as the five different auras on Ding Quan's chest. Ding Quan actually had five attributes, and they could resonate with his soul bone.

Five soul bones over 100,000 years old, plus Ding Quan's soul power, actually allowed him to see something that was rarely seen even once every ten thousand years, according to records.

If such a being appears in Ding Quan, he might actually become a god later on.

"It seems that Izumi's previous plan was correct."

Soul-Bone Fusion Technique?
Ling and Wei'er nodded.

The Soul Bone Fusion Technique may have another name. The Spirit Hall currently possesses a complete set of Soul Bones. If the same person absorbs them, the six 99,999-year-old Soul Bones will become 100,000-year-old Soul Bones. This set of Soul Bones is also known as the Angelic Armor!
Ding Quan and his group had planned this a long time ago. Zhu Zhuqing knew that Ding Quan and his group had planned their soul skills from the very beginning, and that they had indeed promoted the evolution of their martial souls by absorbing powerful soul rings.

They may have absorbed similar herbs that they had previously taken, but the evolution of a martial soul is not that simple.

Five soul bones that are 100,000 years old—such a configuration of soul bones is probably unprecedented. In addition, the soul bone on Ding Quan's right arm should have been provided by that soul beast that was over 700,000 years old.

With such a powerful spirit ring configuration, and the fact that Ding Quan didn't absorb the spirit ring from one of the two beast kings, it's clear he has a better target in mind.

Does his next spirit ring require a ferocious beast?
A powerful aura rose from Ding Quan's body, and Tang Hao, who was adjusting his breathing in the distance, suddenly opened his eyes.

Such a powerful aura, and also a familiar presence, a life force emanating from afar.

Tang Hao glanced at the Blue Silver Grass beside him with a strange expression. The Blue Silver Grass swayed in the wind and became somewhat active.

Is it the influence of this life force? Or...?
Tang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing his own injuries. He knew he couldn't continue fighting and needed to treat his injuries first.

Suddenly, the oppressive aura emanating from Ding Quan abruptly ceased.

“Quan is still missing the most important torso bone. Although there is a connection between the four limb bones, they cannot be completely fused together.” Ling said, looking at the bone in Ding Quan’s chest, which was still spreading but could not be fused together.

"That's enough. The fact that things have changed like this shows that Ding Quan has succeeded."

The bones above the chest seemed to sense something, and quickly dissipated, eventually returning completely to the limbs.

At the same time, a faint black halo emerged from Ding Quan's left arm, and the people around him immediately felt their bodies sink.

"Is this Erming's gravity domain?" Xiao Wu, who was standing to the side, saw the halo. Domain skills can indeed be contained in soul bones, but it is extremely difficult. The soul master must be very compatible with the soul bone. Otherwise, it will become a different skill due to the incompatibility of the soul master's martial soul. Even if the soul master absorbs the same soul bone, the skills obtained may be different.

“The soul bone that Da Ming provided me also has a slowing effect.” Wei’er waved her left hand, and her soul power flashed by, making everyone feel that their reactions were slower.

Domain skills, two of them at that. Is this the kind of soul bone skills provided by top-tier beings like the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape?

Adding to their other domain skills, aren't they possessing far too many domain skills that countless Soul Masters dream of?

"Senior, since you're here, please come out and greet me!" Ling looked to the side, and then, in the eyes of everyone, a burly man wearing a hemp-colored cloak walked out.

"So it was you who absorbed the spirit ring?" Tang Hao looked at the group in front of him, his gaze lingering on Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

The fluctuations in soul power emanating from these two individuals are too obvious, clearly indicating that they have not yet mastered their own soul power.

What shocked Tang Hao even more was that the two of them had already reached the level of Soul Saint in terms of soul power.

Just half a month ago, Ning Rongrong, the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, had only recently broken through to the Soul King level, but now her soul power has increased by nearly twenty levels.

I was surprised that Ning Rongrong didn't plan to go to Seagod Island with the Shrek team, but I didn't expect her to end up with Ding Quan and the others.

"Senior Haotian." Ning Rongrong looked at Tang Hao in front of her. She knew Tang San's father and had met him a few times recently.

"Uncle!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up when she saw the person in front of her. Then she looked around but didn't see anyone else.

"Soul?" Xiao Wu's figure was very illusory, but Tang Hao, as a Title Douluo, was able to sense the spiritual power above her.

Tang Hao was somewhat surprised by Xiao Wu's illusory soul form. Xiao Wu and the two beast kings from earlier had been sacrificed to others, so why hadn't her soul dissipated?

When Ah Yin made her sacrifice, she didn't even sense anything herself.

"I fused my soul into the soul ring, and with the help of the domain, it was preserved intact." Xiao Wu was a little disappointed that she didn't see Tang San, but she saw the questioning look in Tang Hao's eyes and said.

"The soul is within the soul ring?" Tang Hao thought of something upon hearing this. Could it be!

“A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast will generate a soul impact, and the soul ring is the place where the soul of a soul beast resides after its death.” Ling continued to release his second soul skill, his gaze fixed on Tang Hao, who was deep in thought.

"Is that so?" Tang Hao muttered to himself, Xiao Wu's current condition being proof of it.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu has now sacrificed herself to that Netherworld Cat Soul Master, becoming her seventh soul ring.

And then there's Ning Rongrong, who is also a being with a seventh spirit ring that has lasted for 100,000 years.

The 100,000-year soul ring that countless soul masters pursue throughout their lives, these two have obtained effortlessly.

If Tang San had come with him, what if...?
Tang Hao immediately shook his head; that was unrealistic.

Although the sacrifice of soul beasts is not dangerous, it still takes time and cannot be stopped once it begins.

They and Tang San were not like Ding Quan and the others. Although they had conflicts with the Spirit Hall, they were not mortal enemies. This was probably why the people from the Spirit Hall left after seeing the spirit beast sacrificed to them.

However, if Tang San were to accept the sacrifice of a soul beast, the time it would take him to absorb the soul ring would be enough for the Spirit Hall to surround him. With that woman's strength and the presence of several Super Douluo and Title Douluo, escaping would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

"May I ask what brings you here, senior?" Wei'er saw Tang Hao's gaze fixed on Ding Quan, who was absorbing soul bones not far away, and immediately stepped in front of Ding Quan.

Those are soul bones? And there are five soul bones!
Although the aura above was somewhat blurry, the powerful soul force reaction was undeniable.

These are five soul bones that are over 100,000 years old! And the one he is currently absorbing is actually his left arm bone, which comes from the Titan Giant Ape!
The left arm bone of a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape—this soul bone is absolutely perfect for Tang San.

Surrounded by a dark, eerie light, this soul bone also possesses the rarest domain skill.

If Tang San were to absorb it, he would likely gain a domain skill as well. Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer focuses more on power, and the Titan Giant Ape's domain skill would be quite suitable for the Clear Sky Hammer.

Unfortunately, this soul bone was in Ding Quan's hands, and these soul bones actually formed armor on Ding Quan's body.

Soul-Bone Fusion Technique?

Such existences have been recorded within the Haotian Sect, and some members of the Haotian Sect have even accomplished them.

This person should be able to reach that level eventually.

Tang Hao's gaze left Ding Quan's right leg and looked at the soul power rising from Hu Po's body, which was no less than that of a Title Douluo.

Beside her was Bing Ling, who was also very strong and had been watching her the whole time.

“I just fought with the people from the Spirit Hall, and my injuries have flared up again. I know you stayed in Dugu Bo’s herb garden for a while, so you should have some herbs to help you recover from injuries. I can offer something in exchange.”

Tang Hao suppressed the fluctuating soul power within him. If he could recover from some of his injuries, he might be able to advance further.

Although there is only one level difference between level 95 and level 96, Tang Hao is very clear about the gap between them. His grandfather was a peerless Douluo with a level of 99, and he had records of the differences between each level of peak Douluo.

"Herbs for treating injuries?"

Tang Hao's breathing is indeed unstable and his injuries are severe. Such severe internal injuries were not caused by the attack, but by the use of a skill with powerful side effects.

It was the use of the Haotian Sect's secret technique of exploding rings.

By blasting away one's own spirit rings, one can gain explosive power. Once unleashed, this technique can unleash power far exceeding that of ordinary people, causing a surge in one's strength. However, the side effects are also significant. Spirit rings are an integral part of a spirit master, and blasting away a spirit ring will also injure the user. Furthermore, spirit rings require a period of time to recover, during which the user's strength is greatly reduced. This is a life-risking secret technique.

"Senior, your injuries are quite severe. We do have some medicinal herbs on hand; we must use them to heal your wounds."

"I can offer a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone in exchange. If it weren't for me, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape wouldn't have been able to escape and would have been sacrificed here for you." The bodies of the two forest kings were still there, but their blood had stopped flowing, and their massive bodies were covered in deadly poison.

"Ten thousand year soul bone?"

Tang Hao had previously led Tang San to hunt high-age soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul bones. Ling and Wei'er knew about this, and it was precisely because of absorbing high-age soul bones that Tang San was able to break through from Soul King to Soul Emperor.

It was because of Tang Hao's relationship with the two beast kings that Wei'er was able to obtain the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The soul beasts that Tang Hao hunted back then were all powerful beings, and the quality of his soul bones was extremely high.

Of course, Tang Hao's soul bones were fully equipped and of very high quality.

“That’s right, a ten-thousand-year soul bone.” Tang Hao looked at the expressions of the group. Ding Quan and Ling Wei probably didn’t need a soul bone, but Ning Rongrong and the others probably did.

In such a short time, Ning Rongrong's soul power broke through from a low-level Soul King to a Soul Saint. Like Tang San, she must have absorbed a lot of high-age soul bones to reach the Soul Emperor level. After obtaining her sixth soul ring, she happened to encounter two beast kings who were severely injured and about to die.

Faced with the powerful energy of a 100,000-year-old soul ring, he directly broke through from Soul Emperor to Soul Saint.

The fact that Ding Quan allowed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to absorb the 100,000-year soul ring shows that he values ​​them highly. Looking at these several women with excellent appearances, it seems that Ding Quan also has weaknesses.

"Since Senior Haotian is willing to exchange his ten-thousand-year-old soul bone for medicinal herbs to treat his injuries, we naturally have no objection."

The black aura returned directly to Ding Quan's body. At the same time, the armor-like thing on Ding Quan's body quickly disappeared, and then Ding Quan's voice entered Tang Hao's ears.

The speed at which it absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul bone is incredibly fast!
Tang Hao was very surprised to hear Ding Quan's voice. He had just arrived and was about to absorb the energy when it was taken so little time.

"Quan, if he recovers from his injuries, his strength may improve even further." Ling watched Tang Hao leave, having received several high-quality herbs from Ding Quan that could treat internal injuries.

"Haotian Douluo has been suppressing his injuries. If his injuries are under control, he can easily reach level ninety-six." Ding Quan held a piece of soul bone in his hand. The soul bones in Tang Hao's hands are all of very high age. This is a left leg bone, which fell from a soul beast called the Golden Scale Beast.

The Golden Scale Beast is a powerful soul beast with equally astonishing defensive capabilities, and may possess some golden bloodline.

This soul bone is over 50,000 years old, and the soul skills it provides are mostly defensive skills.

"He doesn't seem to intend to leave the Star Dou Forest." Wei'er looked in the direction Tang Hao left. If she wasn't mistaken, the people from the Spirit Hall were heading in this direction.

"Does he intend to sabotage Bibi Dong's acquisition of a spirit ring?"

"Probably not. Even if he breaks through in strength in a short period of time, he still won't be strong enough to face the Spirit Hall."

"Forget it, there's no point in saying more. Let's leave here first."

"What about their corpses?"

"Leave it to me, but you'd better stay in Zhu Qing's spiritual sea, her spiritual power isn't that strong right now."

"I understand." Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing's spirit was already somewhat weak, and looking at Da Ming and Er Ming, whose flames had already been ignited, Xiao Wu also directly entered Zhu Zhuqing's spiritual sea.

The group then quickly flew out of the Star Dou Great Forest, and their figures disappeared in the blink of an eye.

hum~
A three-meter-long, ferocious-looking soul beast flew in from afar. It had some injuries on its body, and its narrow eyes looked at the corpses of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, which were almost half burned. Its dark golden soul power suddenly burst forth.

The illusory flames were suppressed and eventually extinguished.

It went straight to the corpse and began to devour it. At the same time, its aura grew stronger and stronger, and its gaze kept looking into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Over there, two beings similar to it were rapidly increasing their aura.
