Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

Su Yuntao laid out his spoils on the table one by one: soul bones, money pouches, several soul tools, and a few miscellaneous materials.

He first opened the money pouch and rummaged through it, then assessed the condition of the several soul tools, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath:

"A Soul King or Soul Emperor, is this all the wealth they have? No wonder they have to resort to robbery and plunder."

The total value of the four people's belongings was about 30,000 gold soul coins, which was less than one-third of the price of that soul bone.

He sighed, put the money pouch away, and turned his gaze to the silver-gray soul bone on the table.

The soul bone was covered with fine, intricate patterns of light, and under the oil lamp, it shimmered with a warm glow. After examining it, Su Yuntao confirmed that it was a left arm bone. As for more information, he would have to explore it slowly.

However, he had a better way.

He put down the soul bone, and with a thought, a pale golden light curtain silently unfolded before his eyes.

[Today's information has been updated!]

A line of pale gold seal script characters appeared.

[Intelligence ①: After the Golden-Winged Roc egg was stolen from the Star Dou Great Forest, the enraged Golden-Winged Roc gave chase and is currently tracking the remaining aura of the egg thief, Lovki, westward. It is expected to reach the skies above Barak City in two days. This soul beast has a cultivation level of approximately 11,000 years, a fierce temperament, and is skilled in high-speed dive attacks. It possesses extremely strong reconnaissance and lock-on capabilities against ground targets. The Golden-Winged Roc is currently less than two days' journey from Barak City.]

Su Yuntao's gaze lingered on this intelligence report for a while longer.

At the speed of the Golden-Winged Roc, it would take another two days to reach Barak City. Either the Golden-Winged Roc lives deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, or the thief has some method of concealing his aura, thus delaying the Golden-Winged Roc's speed.

But since the system has already given a notification, it's certain that the Golden-Winged Roc will arrive in Barak City two days later.

He had never considered taking on that giant bird before. On the one hand, the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was already incredibly powerful, and on the other hand, the Golden-Winged Roc was skilled in flight, and he didn't think he could handle such a flying behemoth.

But after killing a seriously injured Soul Emperor with Zhuge Crossbow and poison, he suddenly felt that if he planned properly, it might not be entirely impossible for him.

[Intelligence ②: Shadow Cat Left Arm Bone. Shadow Cats are rare nocturnal soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, renowned for their silent stealth and ability to conceal their aura. Their soul bone possesses the skill: Shadow Lurker. Effect: When activated, it temporarily merges the user's aura with the surrounding shadows, compressing soul power fluctuations to their limit, making it extremely difficult to be detected and locked onto by soul power when stationary or moving slowly. The duration is directly proportional to the soul power consumed, and can briefly interrupt the opponent's tracking during combat.]

Su Yuntao's brow twitched slightly after reading this.

The Shadow Lurk skill is quite useful, but it doesn't quite fit his main fighting style.

He usually relies more on head-on confrontations and speed suppression; stealthy abilities like Shadow Lurker don't help him much.

However, after glancing back at the intelligence report ①, if he were to plot against that Golden-Winged Roc, regardless of whether this soul bone suited his main combat style, absorbing it would be a real boost to his strength.

On one hand, there is an urgent need to enhance combat power in the short term; on the other hand, although the Soul Bone skill is mediocre, it can indeed increase strength. It's a dilemma.

[Intelligence ③: Leng Qiushan, the head of the Leng family, escaped with severe injuries during street fighting and is currently recuperating in an abandoned hunter's hut on the western outskirts of Barak City. His five followers and two guards who accompanied him to Barak City have all perished. Leng Qiushan attributes everything to the host's instigation and is already planning his revenge after recovering.]

Su Yuntao's expression remained unchanged after reading the intelligence report. It was only a matter of time before Leng Qiushan sought revenge, but he had more important matters to consider at the moment.

[Intelligence 4: The Spirit Hall is behind the attack on King Kundera's auction. Kundera is one of the few noble representatives within the Empire who openly opposes the Spirit Hall's expansion. This attack was carried out in the name of the Fire Leopard Sect of the Star Luo Empire, with two objectives: first, to weaken the anti-Spirit Hall forces within the Heaven Dou Empire; and second, to frame the Star Luo Empire to escalate tensions between the two countries. Barak City is currently under martial law, and the king is doing everything he can to track down the assassins. Remnants of the Fire Leopard Sect remain lurking in the city, preparing to strike again. The situation in Barak City is extremely chaotic, with various forces infiltrating each other, and a larger conflict could erupt at any time.]

Su Yuntao scanned these intelligence reports several times, and finally came to only one word—chaos.

The Spirit Hall, the Fire Leopard Sect, the Leng family, Kundera, and other forces attracted by the auction, along with the approaching Golden-Winged Roc, make the entire city of Barak look like a pile of dry tinder, just one spark away from setting it ablaze.

As the light barrier dissipated, his gaze returned to the silver-gray soul bone on the table.

The skills of this soul bone don't perfectly match his current fighting style, but it's the thing that can improve his strength the most in the short term. This improvement is even greater than if he spent intelligence points to learn soul skills.

Moreover, in such a chaotic environment, the Shadow Lurk skill can be considered a life-saving skill.

He thought for a moment and then reached out and picked up the soul bone. He held it in his palm and felt its slightly cool temperature. Then he sat cross-legged on the bed, placed the soul bone close to his left arm, closed his eyes, and guided his soul power to slowly flow into it.

The silver-gray light on the surface of the soul bone began to brighten gradually after it came into contact with his soul power. The warm energy spread upwards along his arm and slowly seeped into his bones and meridians.

The fusion process went more smoothly than he had expected. The energy did not encounter any obvious rejection as it spread through his meridians. Although there was a faint throbbing pain in his shoulder, it did not last long and gradually dissipated.

About three hours later, the luster on the surface of the soul bone completely merged into his left arm, and a warm and steady power appeared in the bones of his arm.

He made a preliminary estimate and concluded that although his current soul power limit was set at level 40 due to the limitations of the soul ring, the actual increase in his soul power from this soul bone would not be less than three levels.

He opened his eyes and moved his left arm to make sure it was not restricted. He then circulated his soul power to test the power of his claw technique and felt that the stability and speed of his left arm when making a move were much better than before.

Although the skills may not be suitable, the enhancement effect of the soul bone on the body is real.

Now, it's up to us to see if we have the opportunity to make our move.

The more chaotic things are, the less you should rush things.
