Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 95 (10,000 words per day) Sendo-ryu's Dilemma

"real?"

Wang Dong's eyes suddenly lit up with a longing for life again, and he looked at Huo Yuhao with the eyes of someone looking at a savior.

"Really? Is there any doubt about it? Let's go get something to eat first, and after school starts, I'll think about whether we can ask the school leaders to provide a few tables in the cafeteria."

Huo Yuhao shrugged: "I have to say, our school has a lot of strange and quirky problems that have been passed down for ten thousand years. It's time to change them."

"After school starts, I'll ask Teacher Wang Yan what's going on with these strange school rules. If they can be changed, then let's try to change them. Sigh."

Hearing Huo Yuhao say this, Wang Dong also said with a look of empathy, "I can basically guess what happened. This kind of thing is too common."

Wang Dong raised his head, looking disdainful, and said, "A new broom sweeps clean. He fixes whatever displeases him, slaps his forehead and says he's got it, slaps his chest and says it's all settled, slaps his thigh and says it's messed up, and then he slaps his butt and runs away."

Hearing Wang Dong's words, which sounded like a rhyme, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle. He then pretended to be serious and said, "Keep your voice down. This is a slide that you can't even talk about. Be careful you don't get arrested."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out a solid wooden table and two stools from his storage soul tool.

This table was made by Ning Ge from a big tree that he randomly picked when he was having barbecue with Ning Ge and Ning Tian. Huo Yuhao thought it would be a waste to throw away such a good table after using it only once, so he brought it back. He never expected it could be used here.

"Hurry up and get some food. After we eat, I won't go back to the dorm with you. I still have to see two classmates from Class 9 off."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong didn't say anything more. The two of them quickly picked out some food and finished eating. During this time, many other students, who clearly knew from home that Shrek Academy's cafeteria didn't have tables and chairs, also took out tables and chairs from their storage soul tools to eat, just like Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao took Ning Tian and Wu Feng to Ning Ge's repair shop. Seeing Ning Ge's constipated expressions when he saw Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who had just woken up, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle.

Back in the student dormitory, Huo Yuhao discovered that Wang Dong was not cultivating, but instead reading a collection of supernatural tales.

"Aren't you practicing?"

Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat surprised.

"School hasn't even started yet, and we finally have a chance to relax a bit, and you still want to cultivate?"

Wang Dong was also surprised. Cultivation is essentially about controlling the flow of one's soul power around the body in a certain order. It feels novel once or twice, and acceptable for a year or two, but if you have to make time to cultivate, it becomes a boring and tedious thing.

Huo Yuhao didn't find it boring at all. Ever since he awakened his martial soul at the age of six, he had been the kind of person who made the most of every minute to cultivate his soul power.

If you don't have much time, meditate on two small cycles of energy circulation. If you have more time, do a few large cycles. If you really get bored, alternate between small and large cycles. In short, unless you have other plans, you should use your spare time for cultivation.

Under Wang Dong's strange expression, he entered meditation. Just as he entered a meditative state, suddenly, everything in front of him turned white, and the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang out. He was then transported to his own sea of ​​consciousness.

"Yuhao, my situation is a bit different from Qian Laotou's. My current state is still unstable, and I need to rely on hibernation to recover. Just continue cultivating on your current path. Anyway, besides me, you also have Qian Laotou to help you with your plans."

"Besides that, if you really encounter any insurmountable crisis, I will wake up in advance to help you, so don't worry too much."

Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but nod. After Qian Lao entered his spiritual sea, he also went into hibernation for a period of time. Tianmeng's reaction was within Huo Yuhao's expectations.

Tianmeng yawned, squinted, and floated back into her own ten white orbs of light, while Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the gray orb in the distance.

Could this little gray ball, like Qian Daoliu and Tianmeng, simply need to sleep for a while and wake up soon?

Huo Yuhao stopped thinking about it. Improving his strength quickly was the key right now, so he turned to Qian Daoliu and said, "Elder Qian, the soul bone that dropped when I killed that demon dog seems to look different from the torso soul bone you mentioned."

Huo Yuhao's words were indeed correct. Generally speaking, the image of a torso skeleton is a soul bone composed of 24 vertebrae, 1 sacrum, 1 coccyx, 1 sternum, and 12 pairs of ribs. The more bones there are and the more complete they are, the higher their value.

For example, if both the right arm bone and the left leg bone are produced by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, under the same circumstances, the value of the right arm bone is far higher than that of the left leg bone. However, in addition to determining the value based on the location of the soul bone itself, the integrity of the soul bone also needs to be considered.

For example, if a right arm spirit bone only includes the bones of the palm and forearm, while another left leg bone includes the bones of the left foot, calf, and thigh, then the actual value of the right arm spirit bone is higher than that of the one that only includes the palm and forearm.

However, the soul bone in Huo Yuhao's hand was an exception, because this soul bone had nothing but twenty-four vertebrae, and looked like a long whip made of bone or a spinal sword or something like that.

Although there are no other skeletal structures, the twenty-four vertebrae on the soul bone provided by the demon dog are densely covered with thousands of gray fiber bundles. According to the elder of the Spirit Hall, it might be more appropriate to call them nerve fiber bundles.

"Hmm"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Qian Daoliu, unusually thoughtful, pondered for a long time before finally speaking hesitantly.

"In my opinion, this soul bone is possibly, perhaps, probably, there is a chance that it is an external soul bone."

Qian Daoliu rarely showed such a conflicted expression. Even when he encountered the Azure-Eyed Swift Demon Dog, which had been extinct for tens of thousands of years, Qian Daoliu still confidently told Huo Yuhao that he was thinking about it, and soon gave Huo Yuhao a specific answer.

This time, Qian Daoliu was really unsure whether this thing was a torso soul bone or an external soul bone, because it looked neither like an external soul bone nor a soul bone.

If you're talking about a soul bone, I've never seen one without a single rib on its torso.

If we're talking about external soul bones, most people's external soul bones are either wings or tails, or they're like spider spears that look like a dark, giant spider. This thing doesn't look like an external soul bone from any angle.

It doesn't resemble this or that, and that's what Qian Daoliu is most conflicted about.

It's not actually Qian Daoliu who's struggling here, it's me who's struggling.

In Douluo Continent I, it was clearly stated that external spirit bones could only appear after absorbing a spirit ring; Tang Buddha's Eight Spider Lances were an example of this.

However, in Douluo Dalu II, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult started causing trouble, almost sending Xiao Xiao away, and even external soul bones were able to be obtained.

After careful consideration, I'll stick to the setting from Douluo Continent II. External Soul Bones can be obtained through drops. Anyway, the person who explained what the Eight Spider Lances were was Yu Xiaogang, and those who know Yu Xiaogang's level of expertise understand; he can explain it all.
