Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 45 The Skull of Spiritual Condensation

He understood that he had benefited from the transcendent theory this time, and that he might also need Qian Daoliu's manipulation to successfully obtain a soul bone.

Li Fei only glanced at the soul bones on the outer perimeter. Most of them were soul bones less than 30,000 years old, and they were mostly arm and leg bones, not his target. He continued to walk in. As he went deeper, he found a few precious torso bones and skulls. In the innermost part, there were three soul bones that were 100,000 years old.

Reluctantly, he shifted his gaze from the three 100,000-year-old soul bones. Those soul bones were all leg and arm bones, none of which were suitable. He slowly walked to the skull emitting a faint blue light. Under the cabinet of the skull was written the words "Skull of Wisdom Condensed by Spirit".

When the token was placed on the cover, the array on it instantly dissipated, revealing the skull inside.

Holding it in his hand, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief, then walked out of the treasure vault and showed the skull to the elder guarding the vault.

"Good eye! This soul bone is one of the true gems in this treasure vault!" the elder guarding the pavilion said with some surprise.

"It was all luck. Elder, I'll be taking my leave now!"

Li Fei smiled and gave the elder a slight bow, then walked towards the back of the offering hall. With his current cultivation level, refining the soul bone would take a long time, so it was safer to stay at Qian Daoliu's residence.

Over the years, he had met Qian Daoliu several times. He had basically accompanied Qian Renxue in learning about martial spirits and cultivation. Because of Qian Renxue, the two had become acquainted, and it was the best place to refine their skills.

"Greetings, High Priest! This junior wishes to refine my soul bone here; is that permissible?"

Upon entering the villa, Li Fei saw Qian Daoliu drinking tea, while Qian Renxue was studying royal matters at a table in the distance. He immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Hmm!" Qian Daoliu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that Qian Daoliu agreed, Li Fei smiled at Qian Renxue, then walked to an open space, took out the Wisdom Skull, and began to refine it.

As the intelligent skull approached Li Fei's forehead, it transformed into a phantom and entered him. Li Fei felt as if he were enveloped by a cool ocean, his soul seemingly leaving his body. All he could feel was this coolness; he couldn't sense anything else.

A blue fluorescent light swirled above Li Fei's head, constantly scattering various specks of light that merged into Li Fei's body.

"Grandpa, when do you think Li Fei will wake up?!"

Looking at Li Fei, whose eyes remained closed for most of the day, Qian Renxue asked in confusion.

"Xue'er, have you forgotten? It took you five days to refine the Cloud Illusion Soul Bone. This Wisdom Soul Bone is of slightly lower quality than the Cloud Illusion Skull. With Li Fei's mental strength, it will take him at least three days!" Qian Daoliu laughed.

"Oh!" Qian Renxue nodded and continued reading the book about royalty.

As the skull was gradually refined, Li Fei could feel hundreds of silver light spots appearing in his sea of ​​consciousness, like a sky full of stars, and this number was still increasing.

He could also feel the benefits of this soul bone; his thoughts were accelerated, and he began to actively condense his spiritual power into silver light spots.

As the number of light spots increased, the silver light spots converged, like an illusory river beginning to surge and flow in the mind.

"Hmm, his mental strength has actually reached the level of a Soul Douluo. Perhaps he will really become Xue'er's right-hand man in the future." Qian Daoliu thought with some surprise. In just three days, his mental strength had reached the level of a Soul Douluo with the help of a Soul Bone. He had never heard of such a thing before.

Even though he was the successor of the Eight Trials of the Angels, he only gained the mental power of a Soul Douluo when he was a six-ring Soul Emperor. His previous opinions about Li Fei also disappeared.

Li Fei felt his soul return to his body and the world seemed different, with distinct layers and a clear understanding of its essence. He also understood the skill that the soul bone had given him—insight.

"This is the original skill of the Skull of Wisdom, allowing me to clearly see everything, and it even has mental attack capabilities. Not bad! Not bad!"

The skill "Insight" is very practical and also comes with a mental attack bonus. Combined with his third soul skill, "Perception," Li Fei now has almost all the mental abilities he needs, which makes him very satisfied.

When Li Fei opened his eyes, he found that Qian Renxue was not there. Only Qian Daoliu was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and looking at him with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!" Li Fei stood up and said respectfully.

"You're excellent! You deserve to stay by Xue'er's side!" Qian Daoliu said with an air of authority, looking at Li Fei with satisfaction. "I heard from Xue'er that you're going to the Heaven Dou Empire this time too?!"

"Yes, High Priest! I have made an appointment with Her Highness to assist her in her undercover mission upon arriving in the Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"It seems she really trusts you. She even told you about her undercover mission, even the Shadow Sister who's always been taking care of her didn't know." Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised, looked her up and down, and continued, "This time, Xue'er will be going to the Heavenly Dou Empire without many people with her. I hope you can protect her well!"

"I will do my utmost!" Li Fei said solemnly.

"Alright! Xue'er is preparing her undercover work materials. You should also go back and prepare. We'll meet at the entrance of Wuhun City at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!" Qian Daoliu handed an envelope to Li Fei and waved his hand.

"yes!"

……

the next day!

Li Fei arrived at the door early to wait. He had already told his parents and Xiao Fan that he could not contact them during his time in the Heaven Dou Empire, and that even if they saw him in Heaven Dou City, they should not greet him immediately.

He discovered in the envelope a new identity that Qian Daoliu had prepared for him: the son of a fallen nobleman from a border region, along with a letter of introduction to enter the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Without a doubt, he will also be going undercover, using his new identity to help Qian Renxue take control of the Heaven Dou Empire, while all information about himself during his time in Wuhun City will be erased.

Soon, Qian Daoliu arrived with Qian Renxue, followed by Ying Jie, who led three black-scaled horses, which served as their mode of transportation.

"Go, Xue'er!" Qian Daoliu turned around and handed the reins of the black-scaled horse to Qian Renxue without saying anything more.

"Grandpa, I'm off then! Take care!"

Qian Renxue took the reins, mounted the horse, and looked at Qian Daoliu with reluctance.

Li Fei and Sister Ying also mounted their horses and, after Qian Renxue finished saying goodbye, headed towards Tian Dou City. Not long after the three left, two streaks of light flew out from Wu Hun City and followed them.

After several days of travel, the three finally arrived at Tiandou City.

"Xue'er, Sister Ying, let's part ways here!"

On a street near the palace, Li Fei spoke in a deep voice at Tiandou Academy.

"Then you must be careful, and never reveal your spirit ring configuration unless absolutely necessary!" Qian Renxue reminded her.

"Yes!" Li Fei nodded.

When Sister Ying arrived next to Qian Renxue, the two of them vanished instantly without a trace.
