In Douluo Continent, Zhu Zhuqing is not the only one in his arms.

Chapter 3 External Soul Bone! What luck!

Oscars!

Sausage Uncle!

Xu Yunhan looked at the little boy Oscar in front of him.

Although Xu Yunhan had heard some rumors about Oscar in the era ten thousand years later, he had never seen him in person, let alone Oscar who was still a child.

As one of the Shrek Seven Devils and Tang San's brother, Xu Yunhan didn't have a good impression of Oscar.

However, Xu Yunhan would be happy to recruit Oscar as his follower and use him to deal with Tang San.

"Little Ao, from now on I'm your boss. With me protecting you, no one will dare to bully you..."

These days, Xu Yunhan has been constantly trying to fool Oscar.

"Yeah, boss."

Oscar was inexplicably a little afraid of Xu Yunhan, who was a year older than him, and appeared somewhat timid in front of Xu Yunhan.

Flander, Zhao Wuji, and others valued Xu Yunhan and Oscar highly and did their best to cultivate them.

Xu Yunhan was mainly taught by Zhao Wuji, while Oscar, being a food-type martial soul, was best suited to be taught by Tangdou Shaoxin, who also possessed a food-type martial soul.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Within the Soul Beast Forest under the jurisdiction of Soto City.

Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong were leading Xu Yunhan and Oscar through this Soul Beast Forest.

This is to obtain the first spirit ring for Xu Yunhan and Oscar, which requires hunting spirit beasts.

"You two stay close, don't run around, or you'll get eaten by a soul beast."

Zhao Wuji walked in front.

Although there are ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in this Soul Beast Forest, they are only on the outer perimeter. With a Soul Saint-level Soul Master like Zhao Wuji around, there will be no danger.

Soul beasts are a very special existence on the Douluo Continent, providing soul masters with resources such as soul rings and soul bones.

Based on their level, soul beasts can be divided into: ten-year soul beasts, hundred-year soul beasts, thousand-year soul beasts, ten-thousand-year soul beasts, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, etc.

The "years" here refers to the cultivation period of a soul beast, and is not necessarily equal to its age.

A ten-year soul beast refers to a soul beast whose cultivation period is less than one hundred years. After such a soul beast dies, a white ten-year soul ring will appear.

A hundred-year-old soul beast refers to a soul beast whose cultivation period is greater than or equal to one hundred years but less than one thousand years. After it dies, a yellow hundred-year-old soul ring will appear.

And so on... A thousand-year soul ring is purple, a ten-thousand-year soul ring is black, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring is red...

"Yun Han and Xiao Ao are both using their first spirit ring. With their aptitude, they can absorb a hundred-year spirit ring without any problem, but it's best not to exceed four hundred years."

Li Yusong, who was walking behind Xu Yunhan and Oscar, said.

"Yes, I know. Soul beasts that are a little over three hundred years old should also be fine, as long as they are no more than four hundred years old, there shouldn't be much of a problem," Zhao Wuji replied.

Although Soul Masters have existed on the Douluo Continent for a long time, their knowledge of Soul Rings, Soul Bones, Soul Skills, and so on is still limited.

Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang's theory would not have come about.

Yu Xiaogang was still exploring and summarizing, let alone what Zhao Wuji and the others knew.

According to what Zhao Wuji and the others knew, the limit for the first spirit ring was no more than four hundred years; otherwise, the chance of death when absorbing the spirit ring would be too high, and they couldn't take the risk.

They only know the approximate timeframe for absorbing spirit rings at each stage, not the exact timeframe.

Xu Yunhan and Oscar both have excellent martial soul quality and physical aptitude. Zhao Wuji and the others had estimated beforehand that soul beasts between three and four hundred years old would be the most suitable.

The higher the age of a soul ring, the better the effect of its soul skill. Moreover, the higher the age, the more abundant the soul power it contains.

Therefore, when absorbing a spirit ring at each stage, it is best to absorb only what you can withstand.

However, it is often difficult to achieve.

On the one hand, it is too difficult to estimate the limits of each person's endurance; on the other hand, the attributes of the spirit ring need to be compatible with the spirit, and a spirit ring with a high age is not necessarily the most suitable.

Therefore, when searching for a spirit ring, one should try to choose a suitable spirit beast.

Several hours passed.

"A four-winged red cicada that's over 300 years old has good regenerative abilities. It's perfect for Oscar. That's the one."

A soul beast was spotted ahead, and Zhao Wuji thought it would be suitable for Oscar.

"Hmm, not bad, this is the one," Li Yusong agreed.

According to Zhao Wuji and others' plan, Oscar's first soul skill should probably be developed in the direction of restoring physical strength, soul power, mental power, or healing injuries.

Therefore, it is necessary to possess the spirit rings of spirit beasts in these aspects, so that after absorbing the spirit rings, it is more likely to achieve the desired result.

Oscar didn't understand much, so he could only follow orders.

Having chosen his target, Zhao Wuji appeared and quickly brought the Four-Winged Red Chan to the brink of death.

"Oscar, go! Kill it and you'll get the spirit ring."

Zhao Wuji handed Oscar a sharp dagger and told him the soul beast's fatal weakness.

"I……"

Oscar trembled, having never killed a soul beast before, and was filled with fear.

Only the person who ultimately kills the spirit beast can absorb its spirit ring, therefore Oscar needs to do it himself.

"What are you afraid of? Hurry up!"

Zhao Wuji urged him on.

It took Oscar quite a while before he finally killed the soul beast, Four-Winged Red Chan.

"You're too timid; you need to work on it!"

Zhao Wuji looked at Xu Yunhan and decided to find a soul beast for him to practice his courage later.

Xu Yunhan remained calm; to him, these were all minor matters. What he cared about was whether he could encounter a good soul beast.

He didn't want to treat his spirit rings casually.

"These are spirit rings!"

Oscar stared blankly at the yellow spirit ring that condensed from the body of the four-winged red cicada spirit beast.

"Xiao Ao, don't be afraid, calm down, and absorb the soul ring according to the method I taught you," Li Yusong reminded him.

Once a spirit ring appears, it needs to be absorbed within a certain period of time, otherwise it will dissipate.

"Xiao Ao, don't worry, I'm here."

The eldest brother, Xu Yunhan, spoke up to calm Oscar down.

His words seemed to carry more weight than Li Yusong's.

Oscar calmed down and began to absorb the spirit ring.

Because it was Oscar's first time absorbing a spirit ring, he had no experience and was sweating profusely, which worried Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong.

Fortunately, it ended without any serious harm.

"I have a big sausage..."

Afterwards, Oscar demonstrated his first Soul Skill. While chanting an incantation, he used the Soul Skill to create a sausage.

"I'll give it a try."

Zhao Wuji didn't mind at all, and grabbed the sausage and ate it.

He was experiencing the effects of the sausage.

"Not bad! It can restore some physical strength and also has a certain healing effect. This soul skill is quite good."

Zhao Wuji said with satisfaction.

"It seems to be working well and has met expectations."

Li Yusong said with a smile, "Next is the soul ring that Yun Han needs."

Xu Yunhan has a powerful offensive martial soul, primarily focused on attack, but also possesses excellent defensive aptitude.

This time, Zhao Wuji and the others planned to find a powerful soul beast for Xu Yunhan, hoping that his first soul skill would be an offensive type.

Ideally, it should be a feline spirit beast, as it would better suit Xu Yunhan's Three-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul.

The four continued their search.

About twenty minutes later.

A gaunt, tiger-like spirit beast appeared, seemingly clumsy, and fearlessly attacked.

"court death!"

Zhao Wuji was somewhat annoyed, and since he had originally intended to toughen up Xu Yunhan, he finally struck and beat him to the point of near death.

"It's a pity, it's been almost six hundred years, otherwise it would have been quite suitable for Yun Han," Li Yusong sighed.

Zhao Wuji said nonchalantly, "Let Yun Han practice his courage."

He then looked at Xu Yunhan and said, "Come here and kill it. Don't be a coward like Oscar. Remember, don't absorb its spirit ring; you can't handle it."

Xu Yunhan glanced at Zhao Wuji with disdain, but still walked over with the dagger in hand.

Looking at the dying, skin and bones tiger spirit beast, Xu Yunhan felt that absorbing a spirit ring of more than five hundred years was no problem for him, but he didn't think much of the spirit beast in front of him.

With a single, fatal blow, the soul beast breathed its last.

A yellow spirit ring appeared.

Then, an unexpected event occurred.

The spirit ring actually flew directly to Xu Yunhan and actively formed a connection with his martial spirit.

This forced Xu Yunhan to passively absorb the spirit ring.

"What happened?"

This situation was something that not only Zhao Wuji and his group had never encountered before, but even Xu Yunhan was dumbfounded.

"I'm fine."

Xu Yunhan quickly calmed down: "Don't come any closer."

"Let's wait and see." Li Yusong and the others stopped what they were doing and anxiously watched Xu Yunhan's condition.

Although it was a spirit ring that was nearly six hundred years old, it didn't seem to harm Xu Yunhan.

And it was even proactive, rushing Xu Yunhan to absorb it?

This is truly something I've never heard of or seen before!

Time passed slowly amidst everyone's worries.

Xu Yunhan absorbed the spirit ring in much less time than Oscar.

Xu Yunhan was overjoyed, not only because he had obtained a very good soul skill, but also because he had unexpectedly obtained an external soul bone.

This external soul bone is perfectly suited to him, as if they were born together.

The external soul bone is on the back of Xu Yunhan's hand, which is very special.

It will not manifest itself without being activated.
