Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 48 Improvement

After absorbing the soul bones, Xiao Yi and Dugu Yan all experienced an increase in their spiritual power, physical body, and soul power.

A high-age head bone is extremely rare.

It took the two of them a whole day to absorb it, after all, it was a top-grade soul bone, and the absorption time required was considerable.

After the two finished absorbing the energy and opened their eyes, Xiao Yi felt that his soul power had reached level 58, and Dugu Yan's soul power had definitely broken through level 50.

So it's just right for Dugu Yan to take the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, since it's been a year since she last took the immortal herb, and the medicinal effects of the earthworm golden melon have already been absorbed.

After Dugu Yan woke up, Xiao Yi said to her.

"Yanyan, take this opportunity to absorb the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle." Xiao Yi said as he took out the jade box containing the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle.

During the time Dugu Bo was traveling, Xiao Yi picked all the immortal herbs and then stored them in his soul tool after preserving them.

Dugu Yan didn't stand on ceremony when she heard Xiao Yi's words. She took the jade box, opened it, and found that it contained white, exquisite flowers and plants, which looked as pure and immaculate as blue lotus flowers and white lotus roots.

Dugu Yan picked up the fairy herb, first ate the petals and then sucked the stamen. After finishing, she sat cross-legged and absorbed the Narcissus Jade Bone.

The effects of Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle Strengthening are to nourish tendons and bones, and to unblock the eight extraordinary meridians. It can help Dugu Yan open up the eight extraordinary meridians in one fell swoop, and the speed of cultivation will be greatly increased once the eight meridians are connected.

Most importantly, the Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone Enhancement can improve the body's flexibility and make the skin more delicate, fair, and tender. Dugu Yan was already very beautiful, and the Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone Enhancement can make her even more beautiful.

When Dugu Yan finished absorbing the Narcissus Jade Bone, Xiao Yi sensed a faint connection between their martial souls, but it wasn't very obvious.

Xiao Yi's mental strength has now reached the Soul Douluo level, and his physical body has reached the high-level Soul Saint level.

"Yanyan, you've absorbed it all. In a few days, Grandpa will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings. Oh, and take the whale glue these next few days. I brought back quite a bit of whale glue this time." Dugu Bo said as he took out the whale glue he had collected over the past few days.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about this, Yan Yan. These are the palm bones I got from a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear when I accompanied Xiao Yi to hunt for soul rings last time." Dugu Bo seemed to remember something and took out a pair of Dark Gold Terrorclaws from his soul tool.

Xiao Yi: "??? Is my luck that good? A soul bone just popped up like that? Oh right, I think Grandpa got it when I was absorbing a soul ring, I didn't know that. Never mind then."

Dugu Bo gave the whale velvet from the demonic orca to Dugu Yan, saying that it was fresh enough to have the best effect, and gave the other one, which was 90,000 years old, to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi doesn't want to absorb whale glue right now; he plans to take it when he returns from the City of Slaughter to hunt for spirit rings. Dugu Bo readily agrees to this.

Dugu Bo used his powerful soul force to heat the whale glue. Unlike the thousand-year whale glue, the ten-thousand-year whale glue did not shrink much even when heated, and the soul force energy on it was much stronger than that of the thousand-year whale glue.

The two 90,000-year-old whale glues that Dugu Bo offered can be considered top-grade. After consuming them, it is estimated that only 100,000-year-old whale glue would be of any use.

Dugu Yan continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the energy of the whale glue. Since Dugu Yan's soul power had reached a bottleneck, it was accumulating there and would only be unleashed when she obtained a soul ring.

Dugu Bo and Xiao Yi watched as Dugu Yan absorbed the soul ring, helping to protect her.

As for the remaining whale glue, Dugu Bo collected it, intending to keep it for future use.

Two hours later, Dugu Yan woke up from absorbing the whale glue, and then Dugu Bo handed the Dark Gold Terror Claw to Dugu Yan.

"Yanyan, you can absorb this. If you can't absorb it, give it to Xiao Yi."

Dugu Yan accepted the soul bone and continued to absorb it.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw has small, hand-like bones, but five long, narrow blades appear at the front, making it look like a miniature version of the Terrorclaw. The dark gold aura flows over the blades like water ripples, giving it the feel of a divine weapon.

The most valuable part of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is its metacarpal bones, which are incredibly rare to obtain. They've never appeared before in this era; getting even a single left metacarpal bone is considered extremely lucky. Yet, Dugu Bo got a pair last time. Furthermore, the age of these metacarpal bones increases with Dugu Yan's cultivation level.

It should be known that the Bear King deep in the Star Dou Great Forest is a 400,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. With his innate abilities, Dark Gold Terrorclaw and Sky-Tearing Claw, he can go toe-to-toe with the existence of Emperor Tian.

Dugu Yan's martial soul is a four-clawed dragon, which is extremely close to a true dragon. It has abandoned the poison attribute and possesses the metal attribute, so absorbing a pair of palm bones is not difficult.

Soon, Dugu Yan finished absorbing the palm bones, and after she woke up, five metal blades popped out from each of her hands. The front part was long and the back part was thick, and they looked very sharp.

"How is Yan Yan?" Dugu Bo didn't know just how monstrous the Dark Gold Terrorclaw external soul bone was, nor did he really understand the characteristics of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. He only felt that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was very powerful enough to rival a Title Douluo, and its soul rings should be very strong.

"Grandpa, the skill of the right palm bone is Sky-Tearing Claw, an extremely powerful physical attack. The skill of the left palm bone is Dark Gold Terror Claw, which has a normal mode and a skill mode. Its power can easily break through the defense of a soul beast. Moreover, this soul bone can amplify my strength by 100%."

"hiss"

Dugu Bo gasped. He knew that the abilities of the soul bones would be outrageous when he acquired them, but he didn't expect them to be this outrageous.

"This woman is terrifying!" Xiao Yi thought to himself. Dugu Yan had already become a powerful attack-type Soul Master after her Martial Soul evolved. Now that she had absorbed the Dark Gold Terror Claw, Xiao Yi couldn't think of anyone who could beat Dugu Yan in close combat, except for himself.

After absorbing the soul bone, the three of them ate a meal and then went to rest.

The next day, Xiao Yi found Dugu Bo and discussed the Soul Core with him.

Over the past six months, Xiao Yi has also been researching the formation of soul cores. To put it simply, it is the solidification of soul power to form a vortex to increase cultivation speed. In this era, most people rely on their talent to tough it out. When Dugu Bo's martial soul evolved for the first time, it formed an inner core. Xiao Yi wanted to use the inner core to his advantage to make Dugu Bo condense a soul core.

"Grandpa, I remember you had an inner core," Xiao Yi said to Dugu Bo.

"The inner core? It was formed by chance when my martial soul evolved into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. Why are you asking about this?" Dugu Bo asked in confusion.

"I suddenly had an idea. I'll use your inner core to gather all the toxins into it to form a mixed poison. After that, it will form a soul power vortex. Once formed, the soul power recovery speed will be faster, and cultivation will also be faster. I call this the soul core," Xiao Yi explained to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up after hearing this. That's right! If this method is used, the poison will be even stronger, and even the most powerful poison will have no effect on him. Then Dugu Bo began to put it into practice.

One week later.

"Bang!"

A loud bang broke the silence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. It turned out that after Xiao Yi explained the function of the Soul Core to Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to condense his Soul Core. A week later, Dugu Bo successfully condensed his Soul Core.

"Haha, Xiao Yi, thank you. I never thought of this method before. Now I've broken through to level 96, and I can see the path to level 97," Dugu Bo said happily.

"No need to be so polite, we're family after all," Xiao Yi replied.
