Chapter 12

External Soul Bone

Seeing the yellow spirit ring in mid-air, Xiang Yan immediately gave the order.

"Xiao Yang, hurry and absorb this spirit ring! We'll protect you!"

"yes!"

Xiang Yang agreed.

As a military family, Xiang Yan trained Xiang Yang to be like a soldier from a young age.

When Xiang Yan issues an order, Xiang Yang must respond immediately.

Now that the fiery red fox is dead, this area will definitely be targeted by other soul beasts because of the final fireball explosion.

Xiang Yan's order was therefore a normal action.

Having lived two lives, Xiang Yang had considered this point and naturally agreed without hesitation.

He trotted over to the Demonfire Red Fox, sat down cross-legged, and used the Sun-Chasing Bow to attract the Demonfire Red Fox's soul rings.

"Calm down, absorb the spirit ring into your martial soul, and then withstand the impact of the spirit ring, and you'll get through it."

Xiang Yan looked at Xiang Yang, who was already in the zone, and gave him another word of advice.

At the same time, Wang Da and Wang Er also looked around warily.

However, what puzzled the two was that no other soul beasts were approaching from this area.

The two began to suspect that the soul beast that injured the Demon Flame Red Fox must be the overlord of this Soul Hunting Forest.

Therefore, other spirit beasts dare not approach this overlord's prey.

At this moment, Tang San looked at Xiang Yang with great curiosity. He secretly activated his Purple Demon Eye, and with a faint purple light flashing, he saw Xiang Yang's body trembling.

Although Xiang Yang barely moved, Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes were incredibly perceptive, and he could still see everything clearly.

It seemed as if Xiang Yang was enduring some intense pain.

I know about Xiang Yang's physical condition, how could he still feel pain?

Although Xiang Yang is very afraid of pain, his physical fitness is in no way inferior to mine!

Tang San was completely baffled and could only observe secretly, remaining vigilant against any unusual behavior during the absorption of the spirit ring.

At this moment, Xiang Yang felt his whole body getting hot.

He didn't know why it was so difficult for him to absorb a 400-year-old soul ring!

However, what Xiang Yang didn't know was...

This fiery red fox can be considered a high-level soul beast.

It possesses both mental and fire-attribute abilities.

If Tang Hao hadn't overheard Xiang Yang and Tang San secretly exchanging ideas about their martial souls, he wouldn't have found Xiang Yang such a perfect soul beast that matched Xiang Yang's attributes and requirements.

This time, Xiang Yang owes Tang Hao a favor.

These high-level soul beasts have higher quality soul power than ordinary soul beasts, so their soul ring impact will naturally be stronger.

Although Xiang Yang was the son of a military household, he had been specially trained physically by Xiang Yan since childhood, and later he even followed Tang San to cultivate the Xuan Tian Gong.

However, it should be noted that in the original story, Tang San also felt intense pain when absorbing the Mandala Serpent.

Soul power is never a benevolent force.

It has a high energy density, giving Soul Masters a feeling of high temperature.

This is the high temperature generated by physical movement when soul power impacts the human body.

Fortunately, Xiang Yang himself can be considered a fire-attribute soul master, and he has some immunity to the flames of the Demon Flame Red Fox.

Otherwise, Xiang Yang will only suffer more.

However, what Xiang Yang didn't know was that something resembling a fox skull was gradually growing on his head.

This fox skull brought Xiang Yang even more pressure on his soul power at this moment.

"What is this?"

"Uncle Yan, what's that thing on Brother Xiang Yang's head?"

Tang San asked with a face full of curiosity.

Tang San had a natural curiosity about the unusual skull that had suddenly grown on Xiang Yang's head.

At this moment, Xiang Yan, Wang Da, Wang Er, and the others were also filled with shock.

"Is this a soul bone?"

"Wait a minute, weren't soul bones supposed to appear on the corpses of soul beasts?"

"How could this possibly happen to Xiaoyang!"

"Could it be that the spirit ring has mutated!?"

"Could it be the lingering resentment of that fiery red fox?"

Wang Da and Wang Er couldn't see through Xiang Yang's situation either, as it didn't match their understanding, so they refrained from taking action for the time being.

Although they had their doubts about what kind of soul bone it was.

But most of them still didn't believe it.

"There should only be six types of soul bones: head soul bones, torso bones, left and right arm bones, and left and right leg bones."

"The bones on Xiao Yang's body must be his soul skills, right?"

At this moment, Xiang Yan also spoke with a face full of doubt.

However, in reality, Xiang Yan secretly gathered soul power.

If Wang Da and Wang Er were to suddenly act, he would not hesitate to draw his bow and kill them both.

At this moment, only Tang Hao, who was secretly watching from a distance, knew about the changes in Xiang Yang.

"External soul bone?"

"He's had some good luck!"

Tang Hao said calmly, he had no intention of seizing the external soul bone from Xiang Yang.

The main reason is that this soul bone is fire-attribute and is not suitable for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

In addition, Tang Hao recognized Xiang Yang's value, acknowledged the soul beast and soul ring that Xiang Yang chose for Tang San, and recognized that Xiang Yang could serve as Tang San's teammate in the future, which would be of some help in destroying the Spirit Hall.

However, Xiang Yang was unaware of the situation outside at that moment.

He could only feel as if he had entered a purgatory, surrounded by flames and eerie fox cries.

If Xiang Yang hadn't lived two lives, cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, possessed spiritual power far exceeding that of ordinary level ten soul masters, and hadn't had the Sun Chasing Bow imbued with the noble fire of the sun...

Otherwise, Xiang Yang would fail in this process of absorbing the soul ring, not to mention either self-destruction or damage to his dantian.

However, the surge of qi and blood was enough to overwhelm Xiang Yang.

Fortunately, Xiang Yang managed to hold back in the end.

After a faint chirping sound, Xiang Yang's mind returned to clarity.

Everything before their eyes transformed into a unique ocean composed of golden flames.

This is Xiang Yang's spiritual sea. On this spiritual sea, a golden sun slowly rises, and there seems to be some even more dazzling light on the sun, forming a golden three-legged crow.

This is my spiritual sea!

Xiang Yang raised an eyebrow; at that moment, he understood everything.

It turns out that his martial spirit, the Sun Chasing Bow, can also be called the Golden Crow Bow.

This martial spirit was mutated because he cultivated the Purple Demon Eye every day and absorbed the essence of the sun.

A phantom of a golden crow silently entered his Sun-Chasing Bow.

This golden crow phantom is not virtual, but rather a manifestation of a certain law.

It's actually somewhat similar to Su Tong's Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul in the second era of Douluo Continent. Su Tong awakened the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul because the Snow Emperor failed to transform and the enormous energy returned to the world.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a human to awaken the martial soul of the Ice and Snow Maiden.

The same applies to Xiang Yang's martial spirit.

Of course, Xiang Yang's innate talent of having full soul power is also crucial.

His martial spirit also possesses the kind of opportunity that allows him to possess the Dragon-Slaying Staff.

However, Xiang Yang was unaware of this at the time. He only knew that his martial soul was very powerful and that he had successfully absorbed the soul ring.

Xiang Yang came to his senses and slowly opened his eyes.

The fox skull quietly turned into specks of light and disappeared from Xiang Yang's head.

Xiang Yang looked at the few people staring intently at him and felt very strange.

"Hey, why are you guys staring at me!"

Xiang Yang said weakly.

"See? I told you it couldn't be a soul bone. How could a soul bone just disappear!"

Wang Dada laughed a few times, looking like he already knew it.

The others echoed this sentiment, no longer showing any curiosity about Xiang Yang.

Only Tang San remained as curious as ever, asking Xiang Yang about his spirit rings.

Xiang Yang unconsciously touched his head after hearing Wang Da's words.

Suddenly, a peculiar feeling sent a jolt through Xiang Yang's body.

He actually obtained an external soul bone!
