Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Chapter 9: Family love, the elusive power of destiny? The power to control the elements!
Hu Bai cursed himself in his heart. If you count his age in his previous life, he is already quite a man. Yet, he actually cried. It was really too pretentious.

But he couldn't stop crying. Because he had those memories, he knew better what an external soul bone meant to a soul master!
Hu Leyao stretched out her right finger and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Hu Bai's eyes. Her expression became gentler: "Silly boy, you are my son. Well, this soul bone may be able to evolve into a hundred thousand year soul bone with you in the future.

As for me, I have now become a Soul Saint and have the most important seventh soul ring. This soul bone will most likely not be upgraded to a hundred thousand years as long as it stays with me.

Although external soul bones are very rare, Bai'er, you are the son of luck in our family. Look, because of you, your father and I were saved two years ago, and your father also obtained the first soul bone in his life.

This time, not only did we encounter the top plant-type soul beast, the Thundering Hell Vine, due to the weather, but we also unexpectedly obtained an external soul bone.

One coincidence is a coincidence, but are consecutive coincidences still a coincidence? Perhaps, in some mysterious way, this is the good luck you have brought us. If you really feel guilty towards me, how about this... when you find a soul bone that suits me in the future, give it to me?

In fact, the three things Hu Leyao said were originally meant to comfort her son. After all, luck was too far away for them, and there was no corresponding record in their family's ancient books.

It is only recorded that when the martial soul returns to its ancestral home, it will possess extremely powerful abilities. What specific abilities they are is a mystery.

Now it seems that the abilities that the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox brings to Hu Bai are affinity with natural elements (confirmed), charming temperament (confirmed), and wisdom (guess).

But Hu Leyao's words made Hu Bai slightly stunned. He thought of something. In some myths, the Nine-Sky Fox was considered a kind of auspicious beast!
As a lucky animal, it will naturally be favored by luck!
In the Douluo Dalu timeline, there is no clear-cut son of destiny. Qian Renxue is at level 20 because she was chosen as the heir of the Angel God a long time ago, so she has a god-given level 10 soul power. Strictly speaking, she is not a son of destiny.

As for Tang San, his soul was suspected to have been brought from another world by the God Shura. At best, he was a pseudo-son of luck. After all, he had Tang Sect's hidden weapons and skills.

As for himself, there is no such person as Hu Bai in the original novel. Unlike Tang San, he is not someone who took over another body, but was truly reincarnated into this world.

But he, like Tang San, possesses the memories of his past life. So, he thinks that he cannot reach the level of a son of destiny.

If he had not appeared, perhaps Bibi Dong would be the lucky child of this generation?

Although some of her past behaviors have indeed been criticized, but judging only by her talent and growth process, she can definitely be considered a child of destiny!
But now Hu Bai doesn't think so. These coincidences one after another can no longer be described as coincidences. Isn't his luck too good?
Are soul bones really that easy to get?
Moreover, he gets whatever he needs!
However, luck is too illusory, and he is not sure whether this is an ability brought by his martial soul.

All he can do now is to keep his feet on the ground and make his family live a better life. He was a commoner in his previous life and had received assistance from the state, so he had a very good impression of commoner organizations like the Spirit Hall.

Compared with the two empires, the Spirit Hall at least really gives civilian spirit masters a transparent opportunity to compete, and also provides spirit master subsidies.

Although about 70% of the soul master subsidies come from the two empires, if there is no "negotiation" from the Spirit Hall, will the empire pay?

Definitely not!

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought I'd see my son cry in my lifetime. It's truly a rare sight. Hehe, this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was not in vain!"

Seeing that Hu Bai's emotions were gradually stabilizing, Xie Tian started joking and couldn't help but tease his son a few times. This was really refreshing.

Hu Bai simply ignored the words of his bastard father, took the vertical pupil external soul bone from Hu Leyao's hand, took a step forward, spread his hands, and wanted to embrace Hu Leyao in his arms.

But unfortunately, his body was too small. In Xie Tian's eyes, he looked like a spoiled child throwing himself into his mother's arms.

Hu Bai stammered, "Mom, don't worry. I'll definitely find a suitable soul bone for you when I have the chance. I swear!"

"Okay, okay, my son is the best."

"Alright, hurry up and absorb this soul bone. With your cultivation level, it will probably take several days. After absorbing this external soul bone, your soul power will probably break through to level 20. We need to think carefully about what kind of soul beast is most suitable for your second soul ring to hunt."

Hu Leyao gently touched Hu Bai's snow-white long hair.

She really likes this image of her son. After being possessed by the martial spirit, Hu Bai becomes more charming and fairer because of the martial spirit. He also grows a pair of fluffy fox ears on his head, looking like an inviolable nine-tailed fox fairy.

Hu Bai is not a pretentious person, but this kind of warmth from his family is the first time he has truly felt it.

Although the family lived a very warm life before, there was no interest involved. But now that the obvious interests are in front of them, Hu Leyao, as a mother, can give them up without hesitation, which really touched Hu Bai deeply both physically and mentally.

He was serious too. If his martial spirit could really bring the power of destiny, then please let his parents become titled masters with full soul bones! This was his most sincere wish.

It’s easy to deal with the Titled Douluo, as he knows the location of the magical grass. Later, I’ll see if I can ask Yue Guan, who is more familiar with him, to go to the Sunset Forest.

With their talents and the consumption of magical herbs, they can be given titles at will as long as they don't die young, but if they want to have full soul bones, they really need luck!

In this life, he has parents to protect, and a brother and sister to protect. Although this sister had some problems in the original novel, it was not a big problem. There is still a long time to come, so he should make things right quickly!
Afterwards, under the protection of the two, Hu Bai began to absorb this external soul bone.

The conditions for absorbing external soul bones are not as harsh as those for soul rings. If a person with low cultivation level wants to absorb soul bones of high age, it just takes a little more time.

Gradually, a day passed, and in Hu Bai's spiritual space, the vertical pupil soul bone was slowly merging with it.

At this moment, Hu Bai could feel the unwilling resentment from the three-eyed demon fox from this soul bone, but soul bones were different from soul rings after all, and resentment was just resentment. This extremely tiny resentment posed no threat to him at all.

but!

In the spiritual space, the nine-tailed celestial fox appeared behind Hu Bai's transparent spiritual body. A suppression from the blood directly turned into a big hand and grabbed the resentment in its hand.

Absolute suppression!

As a divine beast, the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox was not willing to let the resentment of a low-blooded Three-eyed Demon Fox attach to this soul bone. It immediately opened its mouth wide and sucked in the resentment!

Refined instantly!

Two days later, the resentment in the soul bone completely dissipated, and a vertical pupil appeared in the center of Hu Bai's forehead.

However, perhaps because the resentment of the three-eyed demon fox in the soul bone was completely swallowed up, the originally blood-red vertical pupils turned into white like the nine-tailed celestial fox, which matched Hu Bai's body better!
As expected, Hu Bai's own soul power also directly reached level 20!
In just half a month, who would believe this speed of cultivation?

Even Bibi Dong when she was young would probably feel ashamed of herself.

Now, the couple no longer worried about being punished by the Pope for returning home late. With their talent and strength, why would they be punished?
"Son, what ability does this soul bone give you? Is it a mental shock? Or an illusion-type soul skill?"

Xie Tian asked impatiently.

Hu Bai felt it and revealed a joyful expression: "Neither of those. After absorbing this soul bone, my basic mental strength has increased a lot. The soul skill currently given to me is an amplification soul skill. Within a certain period of time, all attributes are increased by 50%, and mental strength is increased by an additional 200%.

In addition, if I encounter a mental attack, it will automatically appear and cast a layer of mental protection for me. The stronger my mental power is, the stronger this layer of protection will be."

Don’t think that this automatic master protection function is useless. Even if Hu Leyao is a Soul Sage, he will be very hurt if he is hit by a Soul Sage-level mental attack without any preparation.

Of course, if you are prepared, it won't be a big deal.

Xie Tian and Hu Leyao were both stunned by the skills granted by this soul bone. All attributes were increased by 50%, mental power was increased by another 200%, and it could also automatically protect its master. What the hell!

This soul bone skill is too extreme. Could this be the reason why external soul bones are rare?
To be honest, this was the first time they had seen an external soul bone. Bibi Dong had a wing external soul bone that not only increased her speed, but also increased all attributes, but the couple didn't know about it.

In the original novel, the two thousand year old Eight Spider Lance that Tang San obtained also gave him a fifty percent increase in all attributes, and Hu Bai's external soul bone was ten thousand years old, so it was naturally stronger!
So, one can imagine how Hu Bai feels now.

"Bai'er, try to control the elements without using the domain now, and see if your control over other elements except thunder element has been strengthened?" Hu Leyao said.

Hu Bai nodded. After the martial soul possessed his body, with the blessing of the external soul bone, many specks of elemental light appeared around him. They gathered much faster than when the martial soul was just awakened, and were brighter!

Moreover, Hu Bai was pleasantly surprised to find that, generally speaking, apart from the thunder element, the element he controlled best should be the fire element, but now he discovered that his control over the wood element was almost on par with the fire element!

There is also a significant improvement in the control over dark elements!
