Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 124, Sixth Ring: Heartbreaking Red of Longing!

"Soul-Bone Fusion Technique?" Dugu Bo looked completely bewildered.

He had heard of spirit fusion techniques and multi-element fusion techniques, but he had never heard of spirit bone fusion techniques.

"What exactly is this Soul Bone Fusion Technique you're talking about?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Mu recalled, "Soul bone fusion skills are a very rare and isolated field, because currently, there is only one person in the Soul Master world who may possess this skill. The so-called soul bone fusion skill is a new additional skill generated after one's own soul bones are fused together."

"Generally speaking, this kind of skill is extremely powerful, and its amplification to oneself is no less than that of a spirit fusion skill used by two spirit masters working together. Moreover, since spirit bones are generated by oneself, the fusion rate of spirit bone fusion skills can often reach more than 70%!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo continued, "Then it shouldn't be that having more than two soul bones will produce this kind of soul bone fusion skill, right?"

Besides the Medusa head soul bone, Dugu Bo also has another soul bone, but unlike Hei Bai, he hasn't come into contact with the soul bone fusion skill. So the starting point for the soul bone fusion skill should be two or more soul bones.

Zhao Mu nodded: "Indeed, it's not that easy. The difficulty of creating a Soul Bone Fusion Skill is comparable to ascending to heaven. A Martial Soul Fusion Skill only depends on the compatibility between Martial Souls, while a Soul Bone Fusion Skill not only depends on the compatibility between Soul Bones, but also on the attributes of the Soul Bones and, most importantly, a little bit of luck."

It is often this little bit of luck that blocks countless Soul Masters from reaching the Soul Bone Fusion Technique.

The other path to the Soul Bone Fusion Skill is to first collect all six Soul Bones, which gives you a one in a thousand chance of obtaining the Soul Bone Fusion Skill.

However, nothing is absolute. In the original story, Tang San only had four soul bones when he first came into contact with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, while Hei Bai only has three soul bones before he came into contact with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

so.
Black and White are stronger than Tang San!

No problem!
Although Hei Bai possesses a small number of soul bones, two of them are 100,000-year-old soul bones, which are of high quality. The only soul bone that is not 100,000-year-old is the external soul bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which is also a high-quality soul bone. These are the basic conditions for Hei Bai to awaken the soul bone fusion skill.

Listening to Zhao Mu's introduction to the Soul Bone Fusion Technique, Dugu Bo could not fully understand it, but he could tell that this so-called Soul Bone Fusion Technique was extremely powerful and extremely rare.

Especially the terrifying probability of its occurrence, and the base of this probability is not all ordinary soul masters, but soul masters with multiple soul bones.

Despite these stringent conditions, Hei Bai was able to successfully awaken the Soul Bone Fusion Technique.

You still say you didn't cheat!
No, it's because you've never turned it off!
Black and White also curiously examined the soul bone armor that had suddenly appeared on their bodies. However, it only existed for a moment before the black soul bone armor dissipated and finally turned back into three independent soul bones attached to Black and White's head, right claw, and right leg.

"This is..." Dugu Bo was puzzled as he watched the soul bone fusion technique disappear from Hei Bai's body.

Zhao Mu was not disappointed: "The current situation of Hei Bai is very much like the prelude to the appearance of the Soul Bone Fusion Technique. The reason why it disappeared is probably because Hei Bai's Soul Bone is not complete, or Hei Bai and I have not yet reached the level of being able to use this skill."

"There is another extremely demanding condition for the creation of the Soul Bone Fusion Technique: all six Soul Bones one possesses must be produced by the same type of Soul Beast. As you can imagine, Soul Bones are already very difficult to obtain, and they must be Soul Bones from different locations of the same Soul Beast. The difficulty is unimaginable."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up: "So the person you mentioned who might possess a soul bone fusion technique is that one from the Spirit Hall."

Zhao Mu nodded. Since the conversation had already reached this point, it wouldn't be difficult for Dugu Bo, with his knowledge, to guess who Zhao Mu was referring to.

"Wait, the soul bones on your body are not produced by the same type of soul beast, so why can you have a soul bone fusion skill?" Zhao Mu also had some guesses about this: "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why I can have a soul bone fusion skill is most likely because I have an external soul bone. External soul bones are the most special kind of soul bones. In the process of soul bone fusion skill, it seems to play the role of communicating and connecting with other soul bones."

Looking at Zhao Mu and Hei Bai beside him, Dugu Bo had no idea how many trump cards they had played.

Even Dugu Bo doesn't know how many times he's felt envious and heartbroken; he's lost count of how many times he's felt that way.

"With this Soul Bone Fusion Technique, your strength will likely experience another qualitative leap! Even without the Soul Bone Fusion Technique, a single 100,000-year-old Soul Bone would be a qualitative leap," Dugu Bo continued.

However, Zhao Mu shook his head in response.

"Not enough! This level of strength alone is not enough!"

"Isn't that enough? Second brother, at your age, you've already surpassed everyone else by a wide margin." Dugu Bo comforted him, afraid that Zhao Mu was putting too much pressure on him, unaware that the line between genius and madness is very thin.

"I'm not just comparing myself to the younger generation; my benchmark is the entire Soul Master world! After all, who can guarantee that not all Soul Masters will be as shameless as Tang Hao in lowering their standards to attack? Therefore, I need to improve my strength even faster!"

Being ambushed by Tang Hao made Zhao Mu realize that his previous complacency was unacceptable; sometimes, the enemy will not give him many opportunities to develop.

Zhao Mu was only referring to the timeline of the original work, thinking that he still had plenty of time. Little did he know that the butterfly of fate had already taken flight, and everything might have already gone astray.

As for improving his strength, it wasn't too difficult for Zhao Mu.

After all, Zhao Mu's soul power level is already level 60. He only needs to apply a soul ring to Hei Bai to break through to the sixth-ring Soul Emperor.

"Big brother, I still need your protection. I plan to take this opportunity to obtain my sixth spirit ring and break through to the Soul Emperor realm!"

"To obtain the sixth ring? Have you already decided which immortal herb to choose for the sixth ring?"

Upon hearing that Zhao Mu wanted to obtain a soul ring to break through to the Soul Emperor realm, Dugu Bo knew that Zhao Mu planned to use the Black and White Immortal Herb method.

Zhao Mu didn't say it explicitly, but his gaze on the Acacia Heartbreak Red spoke volumes.

Love-Sick Heartbreak Red: "I kindly helped you suppress the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, but you're planning to eat me~~(><)"

Looking at the proud, white flower tinged with red, Dugu Bo took out a diagram of medicinal herbs and examined it.

Upon finding it, he asked with doubt, "Second brother, are you sure you want to absorb this immortal herb as your sixth soul ring? The flower is indeed extraordinary, but the diagram says that this flower chooses its master. If you can't be the master of this flower, you can't pick it. Moreover, the stone beneath the flower is named Wu Jue. If you forcibly destroy it, this Acacia Heartbreak Red will also lose all its medicinal power."

Zhao Mu's understanding of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red was no less than that of Dugu Bo. The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red possessed the power to be immortal as long as heaven and earth, and its quality was absolutely worthy of being his sixth soul ring.

Regarding the issue of the acquisition and ownership of the Acacia Heartbreak Red apricot.
Who said Zhao Mu was planning to take it? He didn't care about the love and romance stuff about the Acacia Heartbreak Red. Since it didn't recognize its master and couldn't be taken off, he simply let Black and White swallow it whole.

The black stone under the flower is no ordinary item either, so it's a good supplement for Black and White!
