Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 35 Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone

"This is?"

There are countless things that look like beads, and Wang Nan couldn't tell what this thing in front of him was just by looking at it.

"This is a pearl, or more precisely, a mermaid's tear. Just like on land, all sorts of spirit beasts live in the ocean. Because our strength as spirit masters is greatly reduced in the sea, there are more spirit beasts there than on land."

"Beneath the icy sea in the far north lives a kind of soul beast resembling a mermaid. When they are extremely sad, they shed tears that condense into pearls, containing their pure spiritual energy. This pearl was obtained by a soul master who ventured deep into that place."

"I've heard that there's a royal family among mermaids, and the pearls formed from their tears are golden, far more effective than ordinary pearls. It's just a pity that I've only heard about it and have never seen it with my own eyes."

Wang Nan picked up the pearl, and immediately a gentle, water-like sensation came from his palm. The water in his spiritual sea churned, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy it emitted.

"Thank you, Elder Lin." Wang Nan put the pearl back in the box and put it away.

"It's just a small trinket; the main event is yet to come," Lin Huiqun said. Then, another woman stepped forward, holding a tray with both hands, inside which was the right arm bone of the scarlet-faced white ape.

"This soul bone comes from a ten-thousand-year-old Crimson-Faced White Ape. Generally speaking, soul bones from ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are priced at around two million gold soul coins, but the abilities it provides are only suitable for weapon soul masters, so its value is greatly reduced."

"Furthermore, the Treasure Pavilion offers discounts to Shrek Academy disciples. I can sell it to you for 900,000 gold soul coins, which is enough for your current credit limit. Now it's up to you whether you want to accept it or not."

Soul bones are different from soul rings. Except for 100,000-year-old soul beasts, the probability of other soul beasts producing soul bones is less than one in a thousand. Therefore, soul bones have always been very scarce. Even some soul masters who reach the title of Douluo may not be able to collect six soul bones.

Now that he has this opportunity, Wang Nan will definitely buy this soul bone. As for the debt of 900,000 gold soul coins, that's what he's least worried about. The value that a high-level soul master can bring is immeasurable. Once he becomes stronger in the future, gold soul coins will just be a string of numbers to him.

"Okay, then I've decided to use my credit line to buy it."

"it is good."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman handed the tray in her hand to Wang Nan. In addition to the soul bone, there was also a black card on the tray.

"Your previous assessment was a purple rating, but now your rating has increased. In addition to this soul bone, you will enjoy the same treatment as inner court disciples in the Treasure Pavilion. Come and visit more often when you have time."

Seeing Wang Nan nod, Lin Huiqun smiled. "Alright, I know you're focused on this soul bone right now, so I won't keep you any longer. Go back to the academy now."

Wang Nan got up to say goodbye and went outside Jubaoge. The customer service representative who had brought him there earlier came to greet him again.

"Honorable guest, would you like us to take you home?"

Wang Nan nodded in agreement.

……

That evening, Wang Nan sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the soul bone from his storage soul tool, and examined it carefully in his hand.

Strangely enough, although this soul bone originated from a soul beast, it looked just like a human's, with its structure and proportions being extremely similar to a human's right arm bone. At this moment, the soul bone was emitting a faint glow, and several fingers were loosely clenched, as if grasping something.

Without further hesitation, Wang Nan adjusted his state and then activated his soul power. Under the influence of his soul power, the right arm bone of the Crimson-Faced White Ape transformed into a black liquid and merged into Wang Nan's right arm.

There is no time limit for Soul Masters to absorb Soul Bones. Even a one-ring Soul Master can absorb a 100,000-year Soul Bone. Therefore, Wang Nan chose to absorb the Soul Bone now to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Chirp chirp—"

As the soul bone entered his body, Wang Nan felt a cool and gentle sensation in his right arm, as if he were in the morning mist. Then, he heard a few faint birdsongs.

At first, Wang Nan thought it was just birds flying by outside the dormitory, but soon the chirping became more and more frequent and louder until the surroundings were filled with clear bird calls.

Wang Nan shook his head, stretched his arms, and immediately felt much lighter. The surrounding birds were startled by his movement and took off in a flurry.

Wang Nan chuckled, pushed off with his feet, leaped forward, his tail wagging to maintain his balance, and then landed gently on the ground with his limbs down.

He took two steps forward and saw what appeared to be nuts dropped by squirrels on the ground. He picked one up and saw that the kernels inside had been emptied out, so he threw the shells aside.

"Boring, boring."

Wang Nan muttered a few words, then reached out and picked a few wild fruits, putting them into his mouth.

"Pah! Wild fruit tastes astringent and is hard to swallow. This is not appropriate."

After walking a few more steps, he saw several wild rabbits hiding in the grass ahead. He stroked his chin, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at them. The rabbits were so frightened that they scattered and ran away.

"Hehe, wild rabbit tastes like firewood, it's a waste of your teeth, let's hurry up and go."

After walking a few more steps, the view suddenly opened up before him. He had reached the top of the mountain and could see a continuous mountain range stretching out before him.

Wang Nan, dressed in white, stood out conspicuously atop the green mountain. A mongoose in the air immediately locked onto him and flew toward him.

Wang Nan showed no fear, raising his right hand, and a smooth, straight branch appeared out of thin air in his hand. No, to be precise, it didn't appear out of thin air, but had always been in his hand; however, this branch had been with him for tens of thousands of years and was already a part of his body.

With a gentle flick, it can pick up nuts from the ground, send them forward, and when it comes back, a wild fruit is placed on it. It is clearly a bare branch, but it is used as nimbly as the right hand, making people forget its existence.

Wang Nan suddenly realized that he had not actually arrived in this mountain forest, but was taking advantage of the opportunity to fuse with the soul bone to see some of the scarlet-faced white ape's personal experiences.

As the soul bones further fused, the Panlong Staff was released and fell into Wang Nan's right hand. Soul power was continuously poured in, and the Panlong Staff became longer and heavier. Then, a powerful surge of soul power rushed out from the Panlong Staff and returned to Wang Nan's body, washing over his body again and again.

Wang Nan originally thought that "as easy as using one's own arm" was just a metaphor used to describe the skills provided by the soul bone, but he did not expect that it was the literal meaning.

This soul bone allows for a preliminary fusion between the body and the weapon, thus enhancing a soul master's control over the weapon. However, the previous owner of this soul bone was not a weapon soul master, so he was unaware that it could bring even greater changes to weapon soul masters.
