Fifth Soul Skill! Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone [4K]

"After that, His Highness absorbed the Soul Ring in a peculiar way. Although I don't understand what it is, I believe he will succeed..."

Dugu Bo carefully recorded these notes, then put away his notebook and looked expectantly at the person in front of him.

Although he didn't understand what kind of new method His Highness was using to absorb Soul Rings, it didn't affect his trust in the other party.

As His Highness's most loyal subordinate, all he needed to do was stand by and protect him; at least, that's what Dugu Bo thought at this moment.

Until soon after...

Under his watchful eye, the enormous Golden Armored Earth Dragon beside Tang Wulin suddenly vanished, leaving behind only a strange bone shrouded in light.

"?"

"No... that's all?"

Dugu Bo's face showed utter astonishment. He considered himself to be quite receptive to things, and he wasn't too shocked that His Highness had absorbed the Soul Ring without killing the Soul Beast.

But why did the Soul Beast disappear while I was absorbing it?

"That thing that appeared on the spot must be Soul Bone..."

"His Highness's absorbed Soul Beast is gone, but Soul Bone has appeared. What's going on here...?"

Dugu Bo didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked and could only silently pray that His Highness would wake up.

Slowly, under his gaze, Tang Wulin finally opened his eyes not long after.

[Congratulations, host, on breaking through to the Soul King level!]

[The host is rewarded with Golden Dragon Seventy-Thousand-Year Torso Bone, and all Soul Ring Age is increased by 5,000 years.]

[Current Soul Ring Age: First Soul Ring 15668; Second Soul Ring 17410; Third Soul Ring 20888; Fourth Soul Ring 39888; Fifth Soul Ring 63288]

At that very moment, a fifth Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared on top of the four black Soul Rings that were originally beside him.

Congratulations on your breakthrough, Your Highness!

Seeing his opponent successfully break through to the fifth ring, Dugu Bo was first taken aback, and then felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart, letting out a long sigh of relief.

He had been worried that something might go wrong with His Highness absorbing the Soul Ring, but thankfully nothing did.

A twelve-year-old Five-Ring Soul King, truly worthy of being called His Highness.

"Level 53 Soul King."

"It's more than I expected. It seems the Golden Armored Earth Dragon is older, resulting in an extra boost in energy."

Tang Wulin smiled and nodded, inwardly sighing.

At this very moment, with just a thought, he could see a slightly goofy Golden Armored Earth Dragon in the Sea of Consciousness his mind.

In the vast emptiness of the spiritual world, the other party undoubtedly appears somewhat insignificant.

While thinking about this, Tang Wulin's gaze also focused on the spot where the Golden Armored Earth Dragon had disappeared, where a golden Soul Bone was floating.

"The torso and bones of Golden Armored Earth Dragon, 58,000 years old."

He murmured to himself.

The Golden Armored Earth Dragon was originally a top-tier Soul Beast with a focus on defense, and after its sacrifice, it voluntarily left behind its strongest Soul Bone for him.

It's no exaggeration to say that this Soul Bone is among the absolute best of all Soul Bones.

Dragon-type Soul Bones are the rarest of all Soul Bones, and the Golden Armored Earth Dragon is a dragon with true dragon blood, but for him, this level of Soul Bone is obviously nothing special.

It's not even as good as what the system just gave away.

While thinking about it, Tang Wulin shook his head and stepped forward to place the Soul Bone in the same space.

"Your Highness, you have successfully absorbed the essence, but..."

"What was that dragon just now...?"

Dugu Bo wore a respectful smile, but his heart was filled with doubts, and he couldn't help but ask.

He really didn't understand. Wasn't the conventional way to absorb Soul Ring to kill Soul Beast?

What on earth is going on?

"You mean this Elder Venom?"

Tang Wulin naturally knew what the other party was talking about, and immediately smiled slightly. As he spoke, with a thought, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon suddenly appeared beside him.

"Roar--"

The moment it appeared and saw Tang Wulin, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon respectfully approached him, displaying visibly friendly and affectionate behavior, and loyally lay down beside him.

"Golden Armored Earth Dragon, you and I are destined to meet."

"From today onwards, I'll call you Xiao Jin."

Tang Wulin chuckled and patted its scales, speaking simply. Upon hearing this, the creature immediately let out a joyful dragon roar.

Clearly, it likes the name very much.

Dugu Bo, standing to the side, was utterly dumbfounded. Disappearing and reappearing! Could this person really be summoned by His Highness at will?

Who exactly is Your Highness?

"Elder Venom, you can think of my situation with Xiao Jin as a special kind of Soul Ring, which can also help me break through my bottleneck."

"I have already formed a contract with him, which not only provides me with my Fifth Soul Ring, but also allows him to become my fighting partner, going into battle with me..."

"I call it Soul Spirit Contract."

Seeing Dugu Bo's shocked expression, Tang Wulin smiled and slowly explained.

The amount of Soul Spirit is still too much; in this era, even all high-level Soul Masters would probably find it unbelievable.

"Soul Spirit Contract..."

Upon hearing the explanation, Dugu Bo struggled to process the information, ultimately conjuring up the phrase "terrifying indeed."

"Your Highness is indeed the number one genius in the Douluo Continent. Your comprehension and talent are something I could never match even a fraction of in my entire life."

He couldn't help but think to himself.

Your Highness's abilities are truly not limited to cultivation and absorbing Soul Rings across time limits; you've even managed to research this unprecedented method of origination.

It's not just about providing Soul Rings; it also means that this Soul Beast can fight for the Soul Master. What does that mean?

In other words, if Your Highness contracts two 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts later, such as the Titan Giant Ape in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, Your Highness will not need to take action yourself.

Two top-tier Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts alone are enough to grant them immense status and power on the continent.

Putting those aside for now, you should know that the Golden Armored Earth Dragon alone would be a tremendous asset to anyone else.

A 50,000-year-old Soul Beast is already powerful, and being a dragon, its strength is no less than that of an ordinary Soul Douluo.

Congratulations, host, on acquiring Soul Spirit!

In the end, all the words in Dugu Bo's heart were reduced to just one sentence, which he said with a smile.

"Um..."

Hearing what the other person said, Tang Wulin smiled and nodded. After that, he focused his attention on his mind, digesting the new Soul Skill he had just acquired.

Information about the fifth Soul Skill had already suddenly appeared in his mind.

Fifth Soul Skill: Golden Dragon Shatters the Firmament.

Tang Wulin's face showed little excitement; instead, he remained extremely calm. Indeed, the name didn't sound very pleasant.

Even some of them have really awful names.

"Armor penetration effect enhanced by 100%, that's interesting."

"A powerful strike that gathers and condenses a large amount of energy upon use, and can be cast instantly... Hmm? Instantly."

Tang Wulin pondered silently, but soon, when he thought of the word "instantaneous," a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

This Soul Skill might not sound that powerful, but if it can be cast instantly, it would be very interesting.

As he pondered this, his gaze fell upon the Black Tiger, which the Golden Armored Earth Dragon had not yet finished eating, and he concentrated the energy within his body into his palm.

"Boom--"

In just a moment, a powerful energy shockwave suddenly flashed out, and the next moment, the Black Tiger's body suddenly exploded into fragments, blasted to pieces.

One of the pieces even flew onto Dugu Bo's head.

"Is this Your Highness's newly acquired fifth Soul Skill?"

Dugu Bo instantly focused his attention on this, first brushing the pieces of meat off the strands of hair, and then couldn't help but be a little surprised.

What kind of Soul Skill is this?

In just a moment, although the target of this move was Black Tiger, Dugu Bo could still fully feel its power.

Even though His Highness is currently only Soul King, the effect of that move he unleashed has already overwhelmed Soul Emperors Soul Saints.

Besides, this is quite different from the dragon-type Battle Soul Masters he had in mind. Aren't they all about close-quarters combat?

"It seems the effect is indeed quite good."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly, and while thinking, he released his fifth Soul Skill, blasting it towards the last remaining part of the Black Tiger's body.

"Boom--"

With another strike, Black Tiger's body was blasted into dust, leaving no trace of life. Only the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, which had not yet dissipated, was still stubbornly shining.

It's as if as long as it exists, Black Tiger still has evidence of its existence in the Douluo Continent and the Star Dou Great Forest.

But soon...

"Golden Dragon Shatters the Firmament x5"

"Boom boom--"

With the sudden convergence of energy, five consecutive fifth Soul Skills were used in quick succession, and the powerful energy stirred up the surrounding dust.

When the dust finally settled, even the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was nowhere to be found; it had vanished without a trace, leaving not even ashes behind.

"It looks pretty good."

"It can even destroy Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring; this energy is clearly not to be underestimated..."

Tang Wulin was clearly very satisfied with the result, and he couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

It's important to know that there's generally only one way for Soul Ring to disappear: either it's absorbed, becoming part of a Soul Ring Soul Master's breakthrough, or it's dispersed by energy.

As things stand, his fifth Soul Skill has already reached a top-tier level, not to mention...

Having just used the "No Move" technique repeatedly, he hadn't felt much Soul Power depletion at all. If he were to recklessly unleash this move, the damage it would cause would be unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Gulp..."

"Your Highness, how many times can you use this trick?"

Beside him, Dugu Bo stared in disbelief at the scene, struggling to regain his senses before silently asking a question.

"It will probably be useful..."

"Soul Power exhausted."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and responded.

"This move has no limit on the number of uses, allowing for frequent bursts of damage. Furthermore, this Soul Skill itself offers low-cost burst damage."

Tang Wulin introduced with a smile, and as he spoke, he was also somewhat moved. As a combat-type Soul Master, he had never imagined that there would be such a combat method.

After all, he's a warrior, so he should be a melee fighter, but today he realized that being a ranged fighter might not be so bad.

"..."

"Your Highness..."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's face was filled with shock. He knew that the strength that the opponent had just displayed far exceeded the attacks of Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint.

Even the Soul Saint Soul Douluo's Soul Skills are nothing special.

If this Soul Skill has virtually no limitations, it means His Highness could unleash it indefinitely until his energy is depleted...

Could this be the cruelest way for an opponent to die?

"If Your Highness were to use that move enough times, even I would be injured."

"This is truly the most powerful Soul Skill I have ever seen in my life."

At this moment, Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh.

"There will be even stronger ones in the future."

Tang Wulin responded simply to Dugu Bo's compliment with a smile, while focusing his attention on the Xiao Jin in front of him.

"Xiao Jin, do you know that move?"

"Roar?"

The Golden Armored Earth Dragon first shook its head, then mimicked his previous action, extending its right claw...

Nothing happened.

"Then try opening your mouth?"

Tang Wulin continued, his face thoughtful.

"Roar--"

The Golden Armored Earth Dragon turned around, looked at a huge ancient tree that was ten thousand years old, and suddenly opened its mouth.

"Could it be possible this time?"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened, as if he could already foresee the scene of His Highness successfully controlling the Soul Beast, and he looked on expectantly.

Could it really be...?

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up as well.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the two, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon finally just yawned widely and turned back somewhat embarrassed.

"..."

Dugu Bo fell silent, as did Tang Wulin.

"I wonder if the Golden Armored Earth Dragon can learn Soul Skills, like Pokémon..."

He couldn't help but wonder to himself, but finally shook his head with a smile, thinking that whether he succeeded or not, it didn't matter much.

It just adds a bit more fun.

"And..."

Tang Wulin's gaze fell on the little dragon in front of him. He Teleportation onto its back and a faint smile appeared on his face. Not bad.

Now he has a little ride too.

Having Soul Spirit definitely brings a lot of fun.

"Elder Venom, let's go back..."

"However, we slowed down outside the Star Dou Great Forest; I need to find another Soul Beast there."

Then, Tang Wulin absorbed the Golden Armored Earth Dragon into his Sea of Consciousness and slowly said.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"What are you looking for?"

Dugu Bo responded, then asked curiously.

"Man Faced Demon Spider."

"Something around two thousand years old would be fine; I just need one of his limbs for some research."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and spoke frankly.

Man Faced Demon Spider.

As one of Tang San 'Tang San most outstanding opportunities, the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone brought him tremendous benefits in the early stages.

If you can snatch it away, you should definitely do so!

"Man Faced Demon Spider..."

"Two thousand years level, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately nodded. As he spoke, he took Tang Wulin into the air and quickly headed towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"..."

"Your Highness, here is one that meets the age requirement."

However, to Tang Wulin's surprise, not long after arriving at the edge of the forest, Dugu Bo quickly stopped and slapped a hidden human-faced demon pearl unconscious.

This Soul Beast is approximately two thousand years old.

"Hmm?"

"Is it really such a coincidence?"

Tang Wulin was slightly taken aback, but he still stepped forward and silently extended his right hand, which instantly transformed into Golden Dragon Claw, slashing a huge gash across the other's body in an instant.

Soon, as a purple Soul Ring appeared, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in Tang Wulin's mind.

[Congratulations, host, for killing the two-thousand-year- Man Faced Demon Spider. This is Tang San's Third Soul Ring. Congratulations, host, for successfully intercepting it.]

[Reward: Host's total Soul Ring Age +6000]

"Hmm?"

"This is..."

Upon hearing this sound, Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and threw the Eight Spider Soul Bones of the Man Faced Demon Spider, along with its limbs, into the system space.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone]

[This is Tang San's first Soul Bone, which will later become Super Divine Artifact, making it of immense significance. He successfully intercepted it.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a divine artifact]

[Golden Dragon Spear]
