Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 264 - Knowledge Equals Power (Did I update more, so that's why so many subscriptions dropped?)

After several attempts, Qian Lingyun had become quite adept at extracting energy.

Qian Lingyun successfully extracted the soul energy of the bone dragon once again, and made simple cuts and distributions according to the shape of the energy clusters. Finally, relying on the distraction technique she had studied, she successfully injected the six different types of energy clusters into the six secret soul bones.

pat!

pat!

The series of muffled thuds immediately silenced Qian Lingyun's somewhat excited heart.

The reason is simple: these six secret soul bones did not produce any dramatic changes like the thunder, lightning, gales, or colorful clouds in the sky that occur when treasures are born in novels. Instead, they were just like a pile of broken bricks lying haphazardly on the ground.

Even the faint glow of soul power that originally belonged to the secret technique soul bone disappeared.

Now, they look like a pile of ordinary bones, and even spiritual power cannot detect a trace of their soul power.

"Could it be... that I... failed again?" Qian Lingyun walked forward in disbelief, fiddling with the soul bone on the ground that had no soul power fluctuations, feeling indescribably frustrated.

Electrolux stood to the side, watching with a hint of helplessness for a while. He hesitated several times before finally unable to suppress his urge to complain, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if you can't detect it with your spiritual power. Didn't you already develop the ability to detect soul power with your snake hair?"

"..."

hiss-

Strands of long hair coalesced into snakes under Electrox's gaze. The small black snakes, with their mouths slightly open, curiously surveyed their surroundings and, with Qian Lingyun's tacit approval, began to frolic.

The lead snake, its crimson serpentine form spitting out its own flesh, frantically reached for its own body, almost tearing itself off to leap onto the soul bone.

It seems they have some special interest in these gray bones.

Qian Lingyun bent down to pick up the bone from the ground, weighed it in her hand for a while, and said with disdain, "Come on, you tell me you can do it, then let me see what you're capable of!" As she spoke, she tapped the little snake's head with the bone.

This knock had a serious effect. Enraged, the little snake bit the unsuspecting Qian Lingyun's wrist. Qian Lingyun felt pain in her wrist and instinctively loosened her grip. The soul bone fell to the ground in front of her with a thud, revealing the exquisite black skeleton beneath its gray shell.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! The Thousand Family Serpent has devoured its master!" Qian Lingyun shouted while rubbing her wrist, suppressing her desire to tear the unlucky thing off her head. She picked up the gray shell that had fallen off the ground and became thoughtful.

"What is this? A shell formed by impurities? It seems to be a new material!"

Taking out an old carving knife, Qian Lingyun slashed heavily across the gray soul bone shell. Sparks flew from the knife, but the gray shell remained shiny and new.

She threw the gray shell on the ground again, and with another crisp sound, the gray shell shattered into pieces on the ground, breaking into a pile of gravel-like things.

Squatting down, Qian Lingyun ground her fingers into the gray gravel and judged in a deep voice, "It's quite hard, but as brittle as ceramic!"

"Then it's pretty useless."

Shaking her head in disappointment, Qian Lingyun picked up the other soul bones and threw them one by one to the ground.

After the gray outer shell of the sixth soul bone was completely peeled off, the soul bone that Qian Lingyun was holding in her palm was also pulled away by some mysterious force and formed a unique pentagram shape with the other five soul bones in mid-air.

At the very top is the skull, in the very center is the torso, and the limb bones are evenly distributed on both sides of the torso.

Faintly, a sharp dragon's roar seemed to emanate from the soul bone. Qian Lingyun was slightly startled, looked at Ilex in surprise, and couldn't help but ask for help, "Teacher, what is this...?"

"These soul bones of yours were forged from living undead creatures, so..." Before Electrox could finish speaking, Qian Lingyun couldn't help but interrupt, "Undead creatures can be forged from living creatures?"

Electrolux was not angered by the student's interruption; instead, he explained in even greater detail:

"Undead creatures... Undead creatures, they are naturally living beings. They have only lost their vitality on a physical level, but from the perspective of the soul, they are still alive."

"That means you accidentally created a spirit-binding weapon today."

"A spirit-enchanted weapon?" Qian Lingyun subconsciously thought of her own semi-divine weapon, Frost Annihilation, which had the Snow Empress as its sword spirit. She also muttered to herself, "Didn't I already make the spirit-enchanted weapon? Why is Teacher acting like I've developed a new weapon?"

Seeing Qian Lingyun with her head down, seemingly lost in thought, Electrolux angrily raised his hand and gave her another sharp rap on the head. He twisted Qian Lingyun's ear and asked with displeasure, "Come on, tell me, what is a spirit-binding weapon?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Be gentle! You're going to tear my ear off!" Qian Lingyun tried to stand on tiptoe and cover her ears, her comical, grimacing expression a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.

"Hmph, I don't think you listened to anything I said!"

Electrolux snorted and immediately released his grip.

He could tell at a glance that this girl wasn't listening properly. If Qian Lingyun knew the meaning of the spirit-binding weapon, she wouldn't have changed the subject like this.

"Hmm!" Qian Lingyun lowered her head and remained silent, not daring to make any other movements except rubbing her ears.

"This book on alchemy is my masterpiece. I'll give you two weeks to memorize it. After two weeks, I'll test you."

Electrolux casually tossed a book as thick as an English-Chinese dictionary to Qian Lingyun, then left with his hands behind his back, leaving Qian Lingyun there looking at the book and wailing.

As for the reason... it's easy to understand, because what Electrolux gave us wasn't the main text, but the table of contents...

The main text is divided into seven parts: Part 1, Part 1-2, Part 2, Part 2-3, Part 3, conclusion, and practical notes. The first volume alone is much thicker than Qian Lingyun's waist…

"I feel like I'm a useless person."

Witnessed by a set of soul bones, Qian Lingyun plunged headlong into the ocean of knowledge, and drowned…

On the way back to the branch, after the aircraft entered the clouds and started cruise mode, Qian Lingyun had no time to pay attention to anything else. She just kept cramming the knowledge into her books until half an hour before landing, when she finally put them away.

"Wow, everyone's training hard!? Not bad!" Qian Lingyun couldn't wait to push open the courtyard gate as soon as she landed.

In the courtyard, Nana and Yueyue, urged on by Wu Yun and the other person, were diligently practicing the secret techniques of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Calmly ignoring the pain on the two girls' faces and the pleading look in their eyes, Qian Lingyun walked away from them.

It has to be said that the Wu sisters may be a little mentally unstable, but as Soul Masters who can create their own Soul Skills, they are still quite skilled.

Yueyue and Nana must have gained something from following their cultivation.

The only one of the five who was doing nothing was Bai Yuan, who was dissecting corpses in the courtyard.

Despite updating so many times every day, the subscription rate is abysmal. In that case, I'll go back to updating twice a day!
