Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

Finally, just as the Flying Fire Fox launched another close-range attack, Yan seized the opportunity.

He quickly activated his second soul skill – Granite Rock.

This soul skill has two modes, each with its own offensive and defensive capabilities.

It can use rocks to attack opponents, and it can also use rocks to form a protective barrier around itself.

This time, Yan used an attack skill.

In an instant, countless hard rocks rained down on the flying fire fox from all directions like cannonballs.

Those rocks were not only heavy but also incredibly hard, catching the Flying Fire Fox completely off guard.

It never expected that the fire-attribute soul master in front of it would have such a skill.

Under the attack of the granite rocks, the Flying Fire Fox was severely injured and eventually trapped under a pile of rocks, unable to move.

Yan gave the Flying Fire Fox no chance to catch its breath. He quickly leaped to the side of the suppressed soul beast, and with a flash of light, the blade he held tightly in his hand pierced the Flying Fire Fox's neck.

All struggles came to an abrupt end with this one strike, and the Flying Fire Fox's life force rapidly faded away.

A moment later, a cloud of purple mist slowly rose from the corpse of the Flying Fire Fox. The mist gradually condensed and eventually formed a purple soul ring, which floated in the air.

Yan looked at the soul ring that was radiating purple light and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This is the first spirit ring he obtained through his own abilities after being reborn into this world.

Although he wasn't like that little punk whose fourth spirit ring was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, he was already very satisfied.

After all, hunting down spirit beasts like the Flying Fire Fox, which possess both speed and fire attributes, is not so simple.

This time, it was purely good luck.

Yan knew that with his current mental strength and physical condition, he was not yet capable of absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

However, this six-thousand-year-old flying fire fox is not bad either.

After absorbing its spirit ring, not only will it enhance its fire attribute, but it will also increase its speed.

Yan arrived at the purple soul ring and sat cross-legged.

After adjusting his state, he prepared to absorb the spirit ring.

Two major battles have just taken place here, and the nearby spirit beasts have long since fled in terror.

Moreover, Yan himself possesses a fire attribute aura, and when he sits there, he is like a raging fire, so ordinary soul beasts dare not approach him easily.

Therefore, even if he absorbs the spirit ring alone, it won't be too dangerous for him.

The only thing to worry about is that this spirit ring has an age limit of six thousand years, which exceeds the five thousand-year limit that an ordinary spirit master can reach when absorbing the fourth ring.

In this life, he possesses an extremely powerful fire-attribute physique.

Therefore, he believed he could control the energy of this spirit ring.

After making all the preparations, Yan began to absorb the soul ring.

As the absorption proceeded, he felt a surge of energy rushing into his body, as if it were about to burst him apart.

That force was like a wild torrent, raging through his meridians and bringing excruciating pain.

"It's only been a thousand years, yet it's so domineering."

Yan gritted his teeth, trying his best to suppress the violent energy.

Time passed by minute by minute.

With unwavering will and conviction, Yan gradually gained control of that power, and the energy within his body began to flow smoothly.

In the end, it was a close call, and the spirit ring was about to be completely absorbed.

Just then, Yan suddenly felt something strange coming from behind him.

It felt as if something was bulging under his back, quickly tearing his clothes.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

"what happened?"

Yan endured the pain and turned his head to look. Suddenly, two pairs of wings burst out from behind him.

The wings initially appeared delicate and weak, but they quickly grew at a visible rate.

They grew larger and larger until, when fully unfolded, they reached an astonishing length of three meters.

The two wings radiated a fiery light, as if they were made of flames.

Yan was startled, as if he understood what this meant.

"It's actually an external soul bone!"

"After being reborn into this world, I acquired a spirit ring for the first time. Not only did I manage to hunt down a fire-attribute spirit beast with the ability to fly, but I also unexpectedly obtained an external spirit bone."

"It seems that I, as a reborn person, still have some luck."

Chapter 5 Yan's Fourth Soul Skill: External Soul Bone Skill

External soul bones are extremely rare, even more precious than soul bones. They can not only enhance a soul master's strength, but also grant the soul master special abilities.

More importantly, it evolves as its owner's strength increases.

For Yan, the function of that external soul bone went far beyond that.

It is a pair of enormous wings.

With it, Yan gained the ability to fly, which also enabled him to fight at high altitudes.

When fighting enemies, the fire attribute provides more attack options.

Moreover, the ability to fly is also a good means of self-defense when facing enemies stronger than oneself.

Even the most powerful soul skills need to hit the target to be effective. Soul masters with flight abilities can more easily evade their opponents' restrictions.

Yan suddenly realized that he had completely absorbed the spirit ring.

With the burst of energy within his body, four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, bloomed from his body.

Yan felt that his strength had been greatly improved.

It not only enhances fire attribute, but also strength and speed.

What shocked him most was the external soul-attached bone on his back.

Without a second thought, Yan stood up, took a deep breath, and tried to control the wings, making them a part of his body.

With his mental control, the wings began to flap slowly, and intense fire elemental energy surged forth.

Next, Yan focused intently on trying to control the wings on his back, feeling both nervous and excited.

When he first tried it, he felt a little awkward and out of place.

But as time went on, his connection with that external soul bone became more and more harmonious.

Whenever his wings fluttered gently in response to his will, he could feel a powerful force surging from them.

He tried to spread his wings and leap.

After repeated attempts, he gradually felt the power and freedom that wings brought, and gradually learned how to maintain balance and how to control the direction and altitude of flight.

Finally, after taking a deep breath, he mustered his courage, pushed off with both feet, and his huge wings flapped with all their might, carrying him into the sky.

This was his first time truly soaring through the air, and the feeling of freedom made him cheer out loud.

Elegant arcs traced across the sky, the wings seemingly becoming one with him.

He circled and swooped in the sky, enjoying the thrill of flying.

After flying repeatedly until he was exhausted, Yan slowly landed, but the excitement in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

He slowly folded his wings.

Because of the presence of this external soul bone, his spine contained a powerful energy.

He had an extra pair of attached soul bones on his back, but if he didn't use them, no one would notice anything unusual.

After absorbing the fourth spirit ring and the external spirit bone, Yan clearly felt that the energy in his body was more abundant than before.

His soul power has reached level 42.

The Flying Fire Fox's soul ring granted him a fourth soul skill—Blazing Flame Slash.

This is a powerful single-target attack skill.

When he activates this skill, his hands can condense extreme flames, forming a huge flaming light blade.

This blazing light blade is not only extremely hot, but also incredibly sharp and destructive.

In battle, Flame Slash can quickly sever the enemy's defenses, causing massive single-target damage, enough to melt most substances instantly.

After use, the flames will continue to burn for a period of time, causing continuous fire damage to enemies and causing them to continuously consume soul power during this period.

Yan named the externally attached soul bone "Blazing Wings".

If it were only used for flying, it would just be a pair of red wings.
