Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 38 Soul Bone, Soul Lord

As one of the most elite soul beasts in terms of bloodline, even a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has a higher probability of producing soul bones than an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

A 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is basically guaranteed to drop a Soul Bone, just like a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, unless you're so unlucky that you can't even find a lucky one when you go out.

Otherwise, a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would definitely drop a Soul Bone.

As a top-tier soul beast, the soul bones it produces are also among the finest of the finest.

Mu En was eager to see what kind of soul bone this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would produce, and whether it could provide Ye Qing with greater assistance.

When Moon examined it and found that the remaining soul power fluctuations on its body were all gathered on its right arm, Moon's expression became somewhat excited. The most powerful part of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was its pair of sharp claws.

If the soul bone appears in the arms, the soul skill attached to it will definitely be a powerful offensive soul skill, and there is even a possibility that it will be an external soul bone...

Dark Gold Terror Claw!

Even for Moon, a man over two hundred years old, the feeling of opening a blind box stirred a sense of anticipation within him.

Without any visible movement, he simply swept his palm across the air like a knife, severing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right arm at the shoulder, without even drawing blood.

With another wave of his hand, he released several streams of soul power to cover the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right arm. A complete right arm bone, torn from its severed arm, slowly floated out.

Right arm bone, but without the palm part.

"It's just your right arm..." Moon said, somewhat disappointed.

Although the right arm soul bone is equally precious, its value is greatly reduced compared to the external right claw soul bone. Even though he knew that the probability of obtaining an external soul bone was lower than that of a soul beast, Mu En always held a glimmer of hope.

It's normal to be disappointed now that expectations haven't been met.

"Little Ye Qing already has a right arm bone, so let's leave this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear right arm bone for Bei Bei to absorb." After thinking for a while, Mu En put it in a box and put it away.

It's not that Mu En was biased in leaving Bei Bei with things Ye Qing couldn't use, but rather that this soul bone was dropped by Ye Qing during a soul hunt. Soul rings and soul bones produced by the same soul beast can only exert their maximum effect if a soul master absorbs them together.

However, considering that Ye Qing already had a right arm bone, and that this soul bone was indeed of the highest quality, Mu En had to leave something good for his great-grandson.

Because Mu En brought Ye Qing back the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in less than a day, Bei Bei, who was also preparing to go out hunting for souls, hadn't even set off yet.

At this juncture, if Beibei were to absorb a 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Bone, his maximum absorption lifespan would increase by at least 2,000 years, from 4,000 years to 6,000 years.

In this way, when Bei Bei undergoes a similar training as Ye Qing at the Soul Master stage, he will also be able to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring at his fourth soul ring.

Although he couldn't absorb a 20,000-year-old spirit ring as quickly as Ye Qing with his third spirit ring, he was still a four-ring black spirit ring. With two purple and four black spirit rings, Bei Bei's configuration was even better than Mu En's, just looking at his first four spirit rings.

How could Mu En possibly not care about his great-grandson?

In the original story, Bei Bei was just slacking off, and Mu En had no choice but to let him do as he pleased. Now that Bei Bei has shown a strong desire to cultivate, Mu En will naturally give him as much support as possible.

Anyway...

This soul bone was obtained through their own soul hunting, not as the academy's property. Mu En can decide how to distribute it, just like the Light-Breaking Demon Soul Bone.

After confirming that Ye Qing's absorption of the soul ring had entered a stable period and that nothing unexpected would happen, Mu En's figure quietly disappeared. He stopped Bei Bei just as he was about to set off and handed him the soul bone.

……

The sea of ​​the spirit.

The seemingly majestic and powerful remnant soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is currently enduring a one-sided beating from Ye Qing.

In terms of physical strength, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is indeed incredibly powerful, but like the Golden Dragon King, it's all about physical strength; it's practically brainless.

The brain is not fully developed, and the cerebellum is completely underdeveloped.

Under these circumstances, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's mental strength and soul were naturally not very strong either. Faced with Ye Qing's condensed mental energy, it was directly beaten so badly that it didn't know how to fight back.

Every punch Ye Qing landed on it produced a shower of light from its soul. More importantly, he discovered that his spiritual sea was actively absorbing the shower of light falling from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

With each punch, the remnant soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was weakened, while Ye Qing, having absorbed the Light Rain, would have an even stronger spiritual sea.

He could clearly feel that his spiritual sea was expanding rapidly.

Even when consuming rare and precious herbs and training his mental strength in the Fear Dragon's training chamber, his growth rate wasn't this fast.

The changes in the Sea of ​​Spirit made Ye Qing even more excited. He no longer looked at the remnant soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear as if it were an enemy, but rather as if it were a delicious feast.

No, this is a delicious feast!

Not long after, Ye Qing felt that his spiritual sea had expanded by at least one-fifth. If he were to eat the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear whole, wouldn't his spiritual power increase dramatically?

With this in mind, Ye Qing continued to pound the remnant soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, hammering it until it howled in pain. Finally, it exploded into pure soul power, which Ye Qing completely absorbed.

As Ye Qing had predicted, after he completely devoured the remnant soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, his spiritual sea expanded by at least 50% from its original size.

"No wonder a Soul Master's strength can increase dramatically with each additional ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. Soul vibration actually has such benefits." Ye Qing looked at his spiritual sea with a joyful expression.

In reality, the soul shocks of other soul masters have no such effect; they can only passively endure the attacks of the remnant souls of soul beasts until the power of the remnant souls of soul beasts is exhausted.

His ability to devour remnant souls is exactly the same as the powerful devouring ability of a certain evil god tiger.

The end of the soul tremor also means that Ye Qing has completely passed all the tests of absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring. Now he only needs to refine the remaining soul power in the soul ring to successfully absorb it and break through to the Soul Venerable level.

Time slowly passed.

After he completely refined the last bit of soul power in the soul ring into his own power, the deep soul ring surrounding him quietly merged into his body.

Absorption successful!

His level 30 soul power bottleneck suddenly broke through, and three soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—appeared on his body in succession.

Soul Master!

P.S.: A 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is guaranteed to drop a Soul Bone, but if it drops an External Soul Bone, it would seem too lucky and unrealistic. As for the Soul Bones in other parts, their age is too low. Even if Ye Qing doesn't like them, Mu En will still let him absorb them.

In conclusion, it would be better to use an existing right arm bone, which would not only match the prestige of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear but also prevent the protagonist from absorbing this 20,000-year-old soul bone.
