Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 204 The Embryo of Divine Bones
"Divine Bone Set?"

Both Mr. Mu and Ma Xiaotao were hearing this term for the first time and were quite puzzled by it.

"Is it the soul bone of a god?" Elder Mu asked after thinking for a moment.

Ma Xiaotao also looked at Han Ruoruo with curiosity.

"That's right!"

Han Ruoruo didn't know much about the Divine Bone Set. She only found out that it was Zhang Lexuan's future Divine Bone Set when she was chatting with Dugu Han and mentioned the six soul bones that the Moon Goddess had prepared for Zhang Lexuan.

Moreover, she only knew that there was a connection between the Divine Bone Sets, and knew very little else!
"We'll find out when Junior Uncle wakes up!"

Seeing that she also knew very little, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but look at Dugu Han standing to the side.

Soon, the six soul bones were reintegrated into Dugu Han's body.

As the soul bone was fully integrated, Dugu Han opened his eyes.

He was the first to sense himself.

After this epiphany, his control over himself greatly increased, and due to the baptism of the Blood Seed, his physical strength increased by a full 100,000 years.

Dugu Han even had the illusion that he could kill a Title Douluo with a single punch using only the power of his physical body.

He then stood up and looked at Elder Mu: "Teacher!"

After speaking, Dugu Han caught a glimpse of Han Ruoruo and Ma Xiaotao out of the corner of his eye and asked with some surprise, "Ruoruo, Xiaotao, when did you arrive?"

"That's not important. What's important is, Junior Uncle, do you know that your soul bones just separated from your body?" Ma Xiaotao said first.

Elder Mu also looked at Dugu Han with curiosity.

The fact that the absorbed soul bone separated from himself was extremely rare, and he was very curious about how Dugu Han had managed to do it.

"I know!"

Dugu Han smiled and explained, "I entered a strange state before, which was an epiphany."

"During the moment of enlightenment, my control over myself reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people. I was able to precisely control every part of my body, even the energy of every single hair."

"So, taking advantage of this opportunity, I tried to temporarily separate the soul bone from my body and then tried to integrate it with my own blood and qi and the life energy stored in the Ice Emperor's Wings."

As Dugu Han spoke, he raised his right hand, and five dark gold claws appeared.

Clearly, his attempt was a great success.

Compared to the previous Dark Gold Terrorclaw, the current Dark Gold Terrorclaw, while still primarily dark gold, now features a greenish halo, and its claw tips shimmer with a blood-red light.

Its power has increased significantly compared to before.

"By precisely controlling every aspect of one's power, one can peel away the soul bones that have already been absorbed!"

Elder Mu thought for a moment, then looked at Dugu Han and asked, "Can you still separate your own soul bone now?"

"To separate one's own soul bone, one needs to have a terrifying level of self-control. I was only able to barely do it thanks to an epiphany."

Dugu Han put away the Dark Gold Terror Claw and shook his head. Although he now had a much greater control over himself, he could even mobilize the life energy stored in the Ice Emperor Wings.

However, this is still far from enough to completely remove the soul bone from the body.

"Junior Uncle, has there been any change in your soul bones?"

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao said again, "Sister Ruoruo just said that your soul bone has turned into a divine bone set. Is it a divine soul bone?"

Han Ruoruo's gaze toward Dugu Han was also full of inquiry.

She didn't know much about the Divine Bone Set, and she couldn't be 100% sure whether those four soul bones were actually from the Divine Bone Set.

"The Divine Bone Set is indeed made from the soul bones of gods, but what I have can hardly be considered a Divine Bone Set."

Dugu Han chuckled to himself. He was only a high-level Soul Emperor; how could he possibly transform his own soul bone into a divine bone?

However, although it's not a divine bone...

However, he could feel a faint connection between his right palm bone, left arm bone, right leg bone, and the Ice Emperor's Wings.

"It should be considered the prototype of the Divine Bone Set!"

Dugu Han sensed his four soul bones.

With the nourishment of life energy and his own blood and qi, a strange connection was formed between the four soul bones, and they had completely merged with him, never to be separated again.

Even if something unexpected happens to his body someday in the future, these four soul bones will follow his soul and be reborn with the help of the Ice Emperor's Wings' Nirvana skill.

"It can be considered the prototype of the divine bone!" Dugu Han said with a smile.

With the prototype of these four divine bones, it will be much easier for him to create his own godhood in the future.

"Although it's only in its rudimentary form, it's still a divine bone, already beyond the level of a Soul Master."

Ma Xiaotao said excitedly, "Junior Uncle, let's go to the Soul Arena and see how your soul bones have changed."

"Let's give it a try!" Han Ruoruo said with great interest.

"That!"

Dugu Han also wanted to test the power of his four soul bones and the strength of his enhanced physical body.

So after telling Elder Mu, he prepared to go to the Soul Hunting Ground with the two women.

"Wait a minute!"

Old Master Mu called him back, smiling as he handed over the Seed of Qi and Blood, saying, "Keep this safe!"

"I feel like I've lost a lot of energy!"

Dugu Han took the Seed of Qi and Blood and sensed it, finding it somewhat strange.

The previous Seed of Blood Qi contained energy that even Limit Douluo would be terrified of, but now he even felt that he could barely activate the energy contained within it!
"One-fifth of its energy was directly absorbed by you."

Elder Mu explained, "However, it is precisely because of the loss of a large amount of energy that it becomes easier to control. With your current mental strength, you should be able to use it with difficulty, but it is best to save it for the future when you condense your third soul core."

"Then I'll put it away for now and use it when I condense the third soul core."

Dugu Han put away the seed of qi and blood.

The energy contained within the Seed of Qi and Blood is the purest power of Qi and Blood, making it the best choice for condensing the Qi and Blood Soul Core.

Although he had lost one-fifth of his energy, the remaining energy was enough for him!

"What third soul core?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Elder Mu, then at Dugu Han, and asked in confusion, "Aren't soul masters only allowed to condense two soul cores?"

“Normally, a Soul Master can only condense two Soul Cores, but your Junior Uncle wants to try to condense an unprecedented third Soul Core,” Elder Mu explained with a smile.

After saying that, he added, "Your junior uncle has now condensed his first soul core."

"what?"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened instantly as she stared at Dugu Han in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock: "Junior Uncle, you've already condensed a soul core?"

"It was formed six months ago!"

Dugu Han smiled and nodded.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's mind went blank, and she stood there stunned.

It is common knowledge in the entire Soul Master world that a Soul Master condenses their first Soul Core when they break through to level 90.

But today, this common sense seems to have been shattered!
Moreover, it wasn't broken by a Soul Douluo, but by a Soul Emperor.

Ma Xiaotao snapped out of her daze, looked at Dugu Han again, and then grinned as she moved closer.

She said she wouldn't believe anything else, not even what Elder Mu said, since the Soul Emperor had condensed a Soul Core.

But this person was her junior uncle... so Ma Xiaotao immediately chose to believe him.

To her, Dugu Han had already broken too many common sense rules, such as the third spirit ring in ten thousand years, the fifth spirit ring in one hundred thousand years... In short, it was as if there was nothing he couldn't do.

"That... Junior Uncle!"

Ma Xiaotao smiled and approached Dugu Han, flattering him, "Sister Ruoruo told me this morning at the Sea God Pavilion that your Dark Gold Terrorclaw right palm bone was found on the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear we captured."

"That's right!"

Dugu Han smiled and said, "So what do you want to say?"

"Hehe, I just want to know how you managed to condense a soul core at the Soul Emperor stage. Teach me!"

"It's simple, just break through the stage of tangible but intangible spiritual power."

Dugu Han smiled, then said something to Elder Mu, and walked out with Han Ruoruo.

"A breakthrough in spiritual power that transcends the tangible and intangible?"

Ma Xiaotao frowned, her spiritual power, which was tangible yet intangible, was something even Yan Shaozhe had not yet reached.

How could she possibly reach that level of mental strength?

"Stop overthinking!"

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, whose brows were furrowed, Elder Mu smiled and said, "Before level ninety, it is very difficult for even a spirit-type soul master to reach the level of having a tangible but intangible spiritual power."

"So far, the only person on the entire continent who can do this is your junior uncle, but your junior uncle has countless opportunities, which you cannot learn."

"That's true!"

Ma Xiaotao nodded in deep agreement.

When it comes to the opportunities she has obtained, no one on the entire continent can match her junior uncle. After all, putting everything else aside, the Dark Gold Terror Claw right palm bone alone is, in her opinion, utterly outrageous.

Despite being a thousand-year-old soul beast, where even soul bones are hard to come by, Dugu Han was able to find a right palm bone in the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Han Ruoruo chatted with her at the Sea God Pavilion this morning, and when she brought up this matter, she was completely stunned!

After all, no one would have thought that a thousand-year-old soul beast that you casually catch to eat could actually drop a treasure like an external soul bone.

"Stop being in a daze!"

At this moment, Elder Mu looked at Ma Xiaotao and reminded her, "If you don't go after your junior uncle soon, they'll both be walking out of the inner courtyard!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao immediately raised her little head.

As expected, Dugu Han and Han Ruoruo were no longer in the room.

"You didn't even wait for me!"

Ma Xiaotao muttered something and quickly ran out.

They caught up with the two downstairs.

The three of them then walked out of the inner courtyard together, but instead of heading towards the Soul Battle Zone, they went towards the academy gate. Turning right there would lead to the Soul Guidance Academy.

Dugu Han wanted to test his current soul bone skills, and Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Academy, with his Wulong Shield martial soul, was definitely an excellent test subject.

Soon the three arrived at the academy gate, where a large crowd had already gathered, including several sixth-year students from the outer academy who were pushing Tang San's statue with all their might.

The other students around him were cheering him on.

"What are they?"

Dugu Han stopped in his tracks, looking at those people with great confusion.

"Dean Yan said that the statues of the original Shrek Seven Devils are a bit old and need to be demolished and recast."

Han Ruoruo succinctly explained the situation.

"The statue is aging?"

Dugu Han raised an eyebrow, knowing without a doubt that it was a decision made by his teacher after learning about the Golden Tree.

That's understandable, though. Tang San has been scheming against Shrek Academy for so many years, and Elder Mu, as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, would certainly not allow his statue to exist anymore.

"Let's go!"

After watching for a while, Dugu Han led the two women to the right and headed towards the Soul Guidance Academy.

After the three left, Tang San's statue was pushed over and knocked to the ground by the sixth-grade students.

With a loud 'bang,' the statue crashed heavily to the ground, and Tang San's head was instantly severed from his body, while his limbs were smashed into pieces of rubble.

"Come on, let's continue!"

The sixth-grade student in the lead kicked away the rubble in front of him and, together with several other students, began to push down the six statues next to him.
