Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"Let's rest for another three days."

After giving the two a cold glare, Ning Rongrong turned and left the private room.

I had something else to say, but I'm not in the mood anymore.

"Boss Dai, did Xiao Ao get brain damage from that beating?"

After Ning Rongrong left, everyone gathered around to see Oscar's miserable state, and they were all horrified by what they saw.

Oscar is in a terrible state; his arms and legs are twisted to varying degrees, clearly indicating internal bone fractures.

What chilled them to the bone was that Oscar, despite suffering such a devastating blow, kept grinning like an idiot.

"He wasn't made stupid by the beating, he was made stupid by the joy."

Dai Mubai shook his head; that guy was hopeless.

"Xiao San, you're skilled in medicine, take a look at Xiao Ao's injuries."

He turned to look at Tang San, indicating that he wanted to see.

When Tang San performed the detoxification surgery on Ma Hongjun and Oscar last time, his technique was even more skillful than when Teacher Yue saved the Iron Hammer Brothers, clearly showing that he was very good at treating injuries.

This skill came in handy, helping Oscar recover faster.

"Rongrong was quite restrained just now, only hitting Oscar's face, arms and legs. Although he has fractures in several places, with his healing sausage, it won't be difficult for him to recover. He should be fully healed in about three days."

Without even crouching down to check on Tang San, Tang San immediately understood Oscar's condition. He had been watching Ning Rongrong's attack the whole time and was well aware of Oscar's current injuries.

It is important to know that among all kinds of injuries, internal injuries are the most difficult to recover from and the most likely to leave hidden damage. In comparison, injuries to muscles and bones are much easier to treat and recover from.

In some past lives, some martial arts techniques even involved deliberately striking the body to inflict injuries, using the body's recovery process to make the body increasingly powerful.

Of course, while such extreme external martial arts training is accompanied by special medicines to aid recovery, repeated use will inevitably leave some hidden injuries.

Therefore, those who are strong in physical training are generally fine in their prime, but once they get old and their hidden injuries flare up, they will suffer greatly and few will be able to enjoy their old age in peace.

Unless one can cultivate internal energy from the outside in and use it to regulate the body.

"No wonder Rongrong said she wanted to rest for three more days."

Ma Hongjun shuddered, even more afraid of the sixth sister.

"You guys are all so precocious at such a young age."

Ao Jiu'er, who remained behind, shook her head with amusement. These young people were all too precocious.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were deeply in love, and the other three men were all seasoned veterans, none of them clean.

"Doesn't Sister Jiu'er like mature men?"

Ma Hongjun scurried over, striking what he thought was a dashing pose.

Ao Jiu'er was exactly his type. He was captivated by her the first time he saw her at the Soto Grand Arena.

Of course, she was just one of the women who fascinated him.

Now that Ao Jiu'er has become one of their own, they naturally want to pursue her even more, and then have sex with her.

That way, we won't have to spend money going to those places to weaken the evil fire anymore.

"I don't like children."

After glancing at Ma Hongjun, who was posing on the chair, Ao Jiu'er refused him without hesitation, then turned and left the private room, leaving a devastated Ma Hongjun behind.

"child?"

Muttering those three words, Ma Hongjun felt as if he had been struck by a violent blow.

"Boss Dai, help me take Xiao Ao back. I'll go prepare some wooden boards to help him set and fix the broken bones."

Tang San was amused by the clown, then glanced at Oscar, who still had a silly smile on his face, gestured to Dai Mubai, and walked out, with Xiao Wu following closely behind.

Although Tang Clan disciples are not very skilled in medicine, they can easily treat simple bone and muscle injuries.

Not to mention, this world also possesses amazing soul skills, where injuries to bones and muscles are merely minor.

"Serves you right!"

Dai Mubai muttered a complaint, then grabbed Oscar by the collar, lifted him up, and headed towards the room.

Oscar's arm is now broken, so he can only hold it like this to avoid further injury.

Tang San quickly obtained some wooden planks from the restaurant staff to help Oscar straighten and fix his broken bones one by one, and then let him eat a few recovery sausages to begin the recovery process.

"Boss Dai, how do you think Rongrong was able to rapidly increase her soul power by more than ten levels?"

After confirming that Oscar's injury had initially stabilized, Tang San began to talk to Dai Mubai.

Ma Hongjun, who had just returned, was also very curious about this and couldn't figure out how someone could quickly level up by more than ten levels in just a few days.

"Soul Bone".

Dai Mubai uttered two words, which were part of his previous analysis.

"Soul Bone?"

"Rongrong seemed to have mentioned before that she has a head soul bone that can connect to our spiritual power."

Ma Hongjun recalled Ning Rongrong mentioning the head spirit bone. Tang San knew about spirit bones; in fact, he himself obtained an external spirit bone when refining his third spirit ring. However, his teacher forbade him to use it, and he didn't even use the Eight Spider Lances during the entrance exam.

The main purpose of the Eight Spider Spears is for close combat, and a swordsman like Teacher Yue is also skilled in close combat. If you really get close, he definitely won't be able to withstand a single sword strike.

The same thing happened in the previous battle against Canghui Academy, so it wasn't used before.

However, he was unaware that soul bones could actually enhance soul power.

Xiao Wu lowered her head sadly, because each soul bone meant the fall of a soul beast, and an extremely excellent one at that.

Aside from 100,000-year-old soul beasts, which are guaranteed to drop soul bones, only soul beasts with powerful bloodlines below 100,000 years of cultivation will drop soul bones.

Regardless of the age of Ning Rongrong's head soul bone, it means that an excellent soul beast has died, which is a loss for the entire soul beast race.

Dai Mubai leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and explained, "You can think of a soul bone as a special kind of soul ring. However, a normal soul ring is refined into a martial soul, while a soul bone is refined into our body, or more precisely, our bones."

The soul bone mainly consists of six parts, which correspond to our head, torso, arms, and legs respectively.

The head soul bone is the most precious, followed by the torso soul bone, and then the soul bones of the arms and legs.

However, the most precious is the legendary external soul bone, which is extremely rare and is said to have the ability to evolve infinitely. Its value is even greater than that of a soul bone that is 100,000 years old.

Refining soul bones can improve our physical attributes, especially the parts being refined. Some powerful soul bones also possess soul skills, and refining those soul bones can enhance our soul power, much like refining soul rings.

However, only fresh soul bones that have not been refined by others can increase soul power. The increase is generally less than that of soul rings of the same age. However, as long as the age of the soul bone is high enough, the increase can still be quite substantial.

Rongrong previously had a soul power level of 39. Refining the fourth soul ring should have increased her soul power by two levels. Based on this calculation, she has increased her soul power by nine levels in the past few days by relying on the soul bone. The age of the soul bone she refined must be quite high.

"A soul bone that can be traded between powerful figures like Teacher Yue and the vice dean of Canghui Academy must be no ordinary soul bone; it's very likely a 100,000-year-old soul bone."

Even Dai Mubai, with his composure, couldn't help but feel envious in the end, considering that it was a soul bone, and a soul bone that had been around for 100,000 years.

Even as a prince of the Star Luo royal family, he doesn't have a single soul bone yet.

All of this knowledge was learned from the royal family. Ever since that Holy Spirit Sword Saint ushered in the era of geniuses, the Star Luo royal family has increased its education for the younger generation, and all kinds of materials and books have been made available. It is because of this that he has such a deep understanding of soul bones, and has even read the records of external soul bones.

"There's something I need to tell you. Actually, I also have a soul bone."

After thinking it over, Tang San glanced at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, then at Oscar who was still grinning foolishly, and decided to reveal this trump card in order to gain the other party's trust further.

Although his teacher told him not to reveal his external soul bone to outsiders, this team is not ordinary. Rather than revealing it later and causing estrangement among his teammates, it's better to openly say it now.

Not to mention that Ning Rongrong has already revealed the secret of possessing a head soul bone, it would be too petty of me to keep it to myself.

Of course, most importantly, he knew that his father had been protecting him in secret, and judging from Dean Flander's words that day, his father was very strong, one of the world's top experts.

With his father's secret protection, no one would dare to steal his soul bone even if he revealed it.

After saying that, he activated the eight spider spears attached to his spine and ribs, and eight hideous spider legs immediately extended from his back.

"My god, has Third Brother turned into a spider demon?"

Ma Hongjun, who was standing nearby, was startled. Tang San looked like a spider demon, eerie and sinister, which made people shudder.

Dai Mubai was also amazed and quickly guessed what kind of soul bone Tang San possessed.

"External soul bone?"

Based on his understanding of soul bones, soul bones located in the torso would not manifest in this form; it must be a legendary external soul bone.

Tang San actually possesses an external soul bone, coupled with his talent for twin martial souls, making him a true prodigy.

"I'm sorry for keeping it from you before, mainly because my teacher doesn't allow me to show this external soul bone to outsiders."

He explained apologetically that Tang San enjoyed the feeling of unleashing the Eight Spider Lances, as if he had gained eight extra arms. Activating the Eight Spider Lances also enhanced all his abilities, greatly increasing his strength.

Previously, when he was at Notting Academy, in order not to attract the attention of the Spirit Hall, he only displayed this Eight Spider Lances Spirit Bone in the basement under his dormitory. Now he can finally use it with peace of mind.

Dai Mubai nodded in understanding and said, "Your teacher is right. As far as I know, although external soul bones are bound to the soul master like soul rings and cannot be taken away like the six major soul bones, external soul bones still need to be refined."

Theoretically, it can be taken away before it is fully refined, and external soul bones are quite conspicuous, making them easy for others to spot and target.

However, you can freely display your abilities within the academy; at least the people there won't covet your soul bone.

"Third Brother, what skills does your soul bone have?"

Ma Hongjun asked curiously, and even prepared to reach out and touch the Eight Spider Spears Soul Bone, but Tang San dodged him immediately and even neatly put the Eight Spider Spears Soul Bone away.

"I obtained this Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone when I was refining my third Soul Ring. It originated from a Human-Faced Demon Spider and inherited the spider's highly venomous properties. It is very dangerous to touch it."

Besides, the Eight Spider Lances also possess a powerful devouring ability; someone like you could be drained dry in an instant.

In a brief explanation, although Tang San had never actually used the Eight Spider Lances in battle, he could clearly sense the power and terrifying potential of this soul bone.

At this moment, Dai Mubai kindly reminded him: "External soul bones are very powerful, especially their potential. Theoretically, they can evolve indefinitely as long as there are suitable conditions."

However, you can't be complacent, Xiao San. Although the external soul bone is powerful, yours hasn't evolved yet, and even if it evolves to its limit, it won't be the strongest.

In this era, the strongest power is the way of the sword. A master swordsman can even easily cleave through space. If you encounter a master swordsman in the future, it's best not to use your Eight Spider Lances to clash head-on with their sword.

Although he greatly admired Tang San's external soul bone, he wasn't jealous enough to feel so, because the strongest power in this era was the sword path, which could even make one a god.

In this new era, the old ways are long outdated. Even external soul bones that can theoretically evolve infinitely must yield to the sharpness of the sword.

"My teacher had also talked to me about Kendo, but I truly witnessed the power of Kendo through Master Yue. The feeling of that indestructible sword was terrifying."

Tang San deeply agreed with Dai Mubai's reminder; the swordsmanship of this world was indeed terrifying.

In the martial arts world of my previous life, there were also many powerful swordsmen and the existence of sword intent.
