Soul Hunting

Chapter 41 Soul Hunting (Part 3)

One of the overlords of Sunset Forest, the Sky Eagle, has fallen. In this year, several overlords of Sunset Forest have died (those who have lived for more than 50,000 years are the overlords of Sunset Forest).

The other overlords of Sunset Forest, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King and the Three-Eyed Demon Fox, noticed this and concealed their presence, fearing they would be discovered.

"It's finally over. I was afraid that if I had been careless for even a moment, it would have escaped. Fortunately, it went smoothly. Flander killed it with one blow."

Dugu Bo looked at the dead Sky Eagle and muttered to himself.

Flander found a comfortable spot to sit cross-legged and drew the spirit ring over to absorb it. It was a 70,000-year eighth spirit ring. Most Soul Douluos and even some Title Douluos on the Douluo Continent might not have such a long lifespan for their eighth spirit ring.

Flander has really hit the jackpot. His eighth spirit ring is not only perfectly suited to his age but also has an extremely high age limit. As a newcomer to the Soul Douluo realm, he might be able to rival veteran Soul Douluo powerhouses.

A deep black spirit ring was attached to Flander's body. Flander was sweating, but it was just sweat. Now his martial spirit had evolved, and he had taken whale glue over the years to improve his physical fitness.

Although the current eighth spirit ring is of high age, it's not a big problem. It's just that absorbing a high-level spirit ring takes quite a long time.

Dugu Bo was also examining the corpse of the Sky Eagle. He wondered if such a high-level soul beast could drop soul bones. Dugu Bo decided to take a look and dissect the corpse to see if there were any soul bones.

Sure enough, the probability of such a high-level soul beast dropping a soul bone is very high. It was a left leg bone. If Dugu Bo was not mistaken, this soul bone should increase speed.

Previously, the Sky Eagle's final burst of speed was extremely fast, and it was able to restore its condition to a certain extent. If Dugu Bo had a heaven-defying control soul skill like Time Freeze, the Sky Eagle would have escaped.

Dugu Bo looked at the bluish-white left leg bone, even though it was the most compatible soul ring and soul bone dropped by the same soul beast.

However, the age of this piece of land is excellent, suitable for both himself and his granddaughter and grandson-in-law. This put Dugu Bo in a dilemma.

Dugu Bo brought the soul bone to Li Luochen, who stared wide-eyed at the bluish-white soul bone in Dugu Bo's hand.

"No way? The drop rate for soul bones is that high? Grandpa, you can't be that lucky, right?"

Dugu Yan couldn't believe it either. She already had a soul bone—the 40,000-year-old black jade Black Mamba left arm bone given to her by her grandfather, which greatly enhanced her abilities. And now her grandfather had obtained another soul bone? This was truly unbelievable.

"I never expected this. Is my soul bone drop rate really this high? What do you all think of this soul bone?"

Dugu Bo, speaking from Versailles, then instructed them to distribute the soul bones. Dugu Bo already possessed three soul bones, while Li Luochen and Dugu Yan each had one. Liu Erlong had no soul bones.

"I don't want it, I'm giving up." Liu Erlong didn't want this soul bone because it didn't suit her attributes.

"I'm giving up too. This soul bone isn't very compatible with me." Li Luochen looked at the soul bone. Although he really wanted to absorb it, the attributes weren't a good match. Unless it was a life-saving divine skill, it wasn't suitable for Li Luochen.

He would take the skull without hesitation, but as for the torso bone, Li Luochen felt it was better to leave it for last. The torso bone was the most important. Li Luochen decided to reserve the torso bone when acquiring the ninth soul ring, taking advantage of the characteristics of a 100,000-year-old soul beast to give the soul bone to the missing part.

Li Luochen still felt it was better to refuse early and let the dean absorb it, so as not to tempt him. Using this treasure to test cadres? Which cadre could withstand such a test?

"I don't want it either. I already have a soul bone, and this one isn't suitable for me." Dugu Yan refused directly. Her current soul bone is mainly based on poison and earth attributes, and this flying wind attribute is indeed not suitable for her.

"If you don't want any of them, then give it to Flander. Although he's a bit old, it's still possible for him to reach the Title Douluo level in his sixties. Let this soul bone give him a helping hand."

Dugu Bo said directly, "There's nothing I can do, since nobody wants him."

A day and a half later, a cry of an eagle resounded, and Flander was possessed by the Hurricane Cat-Owl. Eight spirit rings appeared—two yellow, two purple, and four black—marking that Flander had truly reached the Soul Douluo level. "Hahahaha, is this what a Soul Douluo is? No wonder a Title Douluo can't produce the most powerful strength!"

Flander felt his own power; he had become a Soul Douluo before he was even fifty, and he was confident that he would become a Title Douluo in his sixties.

"Flander, how much soul power have you reached now?"

Dugu Bo rested his chin on his hand, sizing up Flander. At Dugu Bo's age, he was still far from reaching the Soul Douluo level. If it weren't for his fortuitous encounter with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he wouldn't have been able to break through to the Title Douluo level.

"Hehe, thank you for helping me hunt for a spirit ring, Your Majesty. I am currently at the peak of level 81, and I estimate that I will be able to break through to level 82 in a few more months."

Flander confidently stated that a Soul Douluo in their forties still held considerable prestige; of course, the youngest Title Douluo currently in public was also in their forties. But that didn't diminish Flander's pride.

"Here, take this." Dugu Bo tossed the bluish-white soul bone to Flander.

"This?" Flander examined the soul bone. He'd gotten another soul bone? His seventh soul ring also dropped a soul bone. Such good luck! But the location of this soul bone...

"Soul rings and soul bones from the same soul beast are the best match. They all refused them, so I'm giving them to you. Just absorb them directly." After saying this, Dugu Bo closed his eyes to rest.

"No, Your Majesty, the location of this soul bone is a bit awkward. I already have a left leg bone." Flander said awkwardly. He looked at the soul bone with great envy, but he already had a left leg bone.

"What?"

? Questions x4

"That's right. When I was traveling alone, I obtained my fourth spirit ring by myself. I lost a piece of my left leg bone. At the time, I thought that a spirit bone from a spirit beast would be the most suitable, so I absorbed it."

Flander also recounted what happened back then, something he hadn't told anyone else, since it was a soul bone, and he had no background, so it wasn't convenient for him to use it.

His left leg bone gave him the ability to accelerate, which was generally undetectable, so no one knew about it. Later, as his cultivation level reached the Soul Emperor realm, the effect of the thousand-year-old soul bone became less and less significant.

When he obtained his seventh spirit ring, he was lucky enough to find a right arm bone. What others thought was his first spirit bone was actually his second.

. . . . .

The entire room fell silent. Fine! We were being polite to each other, thinking that the soul ring and soul bone produced by the same soul beast would be most suitable for you to absorb, and then you tell me you have a left leg bone?

"So, we have to redistribute it again?" Dugu Bo said, speechless.

Li Luochen's eyes lit up with an idea: "Grandpa Dugu, why don't you absorb it? We don't need it. You can absorb it yourself. When you become stronger, you can help us get the soul bone."

Moreover, your Golden Phosphorous Serpent King doesn't seem to be good at speed. This soul bone should be able to give you a speed boost.

"Once you become stronger, will you still be afraid of not being able to help me and Yanzi obtain soul bones?"

Dugu Yan nodded in agreement with Li Luochen's words, while Liu Erlong ignored them and immediately hugged Flander's arm affectionately.

"Alright, it's for this old man again. Fine, you two little ones, you can leave your soul rings and soul bones to me from now on."

Dugu Bo placed the left leg bone of the 70,000-year-old Heavenly Divine Eagle onto his own left leg and absorbed it on the spot.
