Departure and Whispers

After witnessing Lu Yuan's Soul Ring, Bibi Dong led Hu Liena and Lu Yuan towards the Lake Heart Island.

Along the way, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes kept glancing at Lu Yuan unconsciously, because after Chrysanthemum Douluo left, he secretly told Bibi Dong that Lu Yuan possessed External Soul Bone.

Bibi Dong's swift return might well have been motivated by a desire to see Lu Yuan's Golden Dragon Armor.

After all, every External Soul Bone is very rare, especially External Soul Bone like Lu Yuan's, which is full of armor. Even Bibi Dong had never seen one like it before.

As they walked, Bibi Dong said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, "You don't need to go to the Plum Garden anymore."

Lu Yuan paused, looked up at Bibi Dong, and asked, "Teacher?"

"She's gone!" Bibi Dong said softly, then took a few steps forward.

"Her, what about her?" Hu Liena asked, puzzled. Could it be the person her junior brother saw every day?

As she thought about it, Hu Liena felt a pang of jealousy.

"Has she already left?" A hint of reluctance appeared on Lu Yuan's face. He had originally wanted to see her one last time before she left, but now it seemed that he would not have the chance.

"I will work hard to cultivate and strive to go out and gain experience as soon as possible!" Lu Yuan secretly encouraged himself. As long as he reached a certain level, he could apply to Bibi Dong to go out and gain experience, and then he would have the opportunity to see Xiao Xue again.

As for now, the right thing to do is to honestly and diligently cultivate oneself.

"Xiao Xue, wait for me!" Lu Yuan clenched his fist.

Lake Heart Island!

Inside the house, only Bibi Dong, Lu Yuan, and Hu Liena remained.

"Xiao Yuan, release your External Soul Bone and let me see it!"

Bibi Dong sat in the chair and spoke.

"External Soul Bone!" Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise. When did her junior brother acquire External Soul Bone?

Could it be that the Soul Beast that gave it the Second Soul Ring it just acquired?

Junior brother's luck is too good!

Lu Yuan nodded, let out a soft shout, and the Golden Dragon Spirit instantly possessed him. The golden light condensed again, this time on Lu Yuan's body.

The golden light dissipated, and a layer of golden armor appeared on Lu Yuan's body, completely enveloping Lu Yuan.

Looking at Lu Yuan's layered and textured golden armor, Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction.

"Wow, junior brother, your armor is so beautiful!" Lu Yuan's armor was exceptionally magical, with distinct layers and textures, plus beautiful cloud patterns, making him very handsome, which made Hu Liena extremely envious.

"Does this External Soul Bone have any skills or special features?" Bibi Dong was not surprised, because she also had External Soul Bone, and had even evolved to the level of 100,000 years. So, although Lu Yuan's External Soul Bone was quite strange, she was not too surprised.

Lu Yuan thought for a while before saying, "There are two main skills. One is an all-attribute amplification. I can feel that when I release the External Soul Bone, all my attributes are greatly enhanced. The second skill is immunity to negative status effects. It should be able to resist adverse effects such as poison, burning, frostbite, and paralysis."

"At the same time, the armor itself has strong defensive capabilities, and it is also very heavy."

"Oh! That's not bad!" Bibi Dong blinked her beautiful eyes. It's quite impressive that an External Soul Bone can be so useful. Even a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone might not be able to do better than this External Soul Bone.

Hu Liena, who was standing to the side, had already widened her eyes as she listened to Lu Yuan's introduction, looking shocked. This Soul Bone's skill seemed pretty awesome.

"How heavy exactly?" Bibi Dong asked.

"It should be no less than two thousand catties!" Lu Yuan replied.

"Two thousand jin!" Hu Liena looked at Lu Yuan with a strange expression. "You can carry a two thousand jin suit of armor so easily?"

Looking at Lu Yuan's calm expression, it seemed that he was not affected by the weight of the armor. Two thousand catties, doesn't this guy find it heavy?

"It's alright, it's a little strenuous, but I'll get used to it after a few more times!" In his normal state, his strength can reach 5,000 jin, and after his Martial Soul Possession, it can reach 7,000 to 8,000 jin. Although carrying a 2,000-jin suit of armor on his back is a bit heavy, it's not unbearable.

"It weighs two thousand catties. After you put on this armor, you probably won't be able to withstand a long battle!" Bibi Dong said thoughtfully.

"Yes, teacher!" Lu Yuan confirmed Bibi Dong's idea. "After this armor is released, it doesn't consume much Soul Power if you don't use it. However, if you use it in battle, the Soul Power will be consumed rapidly. Moreover, due to its weight, even if I go all out, I should only be able to last for ten minutes."

"Ten minutes is enough to sustain a battle!" Bibi Dong was quite optimistic. Ten minutes was a time that even a team match might not last that long.

With the power of Lu Yuan's Golden Dragon Spirit, coupled with this set of External Soul Bone, he can be said to be unrivaled among his peers.

"Hmm, very good!" Bibi Dong smiled, her gaze softening as she looked at Lu Yuan. "We might arrange a new teacher for you in a couple of days. Be prepared."

"A new teacher?" Lu Yuan secretly admired her. "It seems that what Xiao Xue said was true. I wonder how she convinced Bibi Dong."

"Yes, he's a very suitable person to teach you. You can also become his student. I have no objection," Bibi Dong said softly.

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "I will not take him as my master. You will always be my only teacher!"

Bibi Dong smiled with satisfaction and said, "Whatever you say."

He waved his hand and said, "You guys go back first. I'm a little tired and want to rest for a bit."

"Then please rest, teacher. We'll take our leave now!" Lu Yuan and Hu Liena bowed to Bibi Dong and left.

"Junior brother, where do you want to go? The way back is this way." Hu Liena asked in confusion as she watched Lu Yuan walk out of the Lake Heart Island.

"I'm going to the Plum Garden!" Lu Yuan waved his hand.

Hu Liena jogged a few steps and caught up with Lu Yuan. "Didn't the teacher say that person had already left, and you don't need to go to the Plum Garden anymore?"

"I know!" Lu Yuan's voice deepened as he said, "I just want to go and take a look."

"Then I'll go with you!" Hu Liena said.

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Hu Liena grabbed Lu Yuan's arm and pulled him into her arms.

Lu Yuan frowned, but didn't say anything more, because he felt that Hu Liena probably only regarded him as a close younger brother.

He also regarded Hu Liena as his own family.

As for romantic love, that's not the case, because he already has Qian Renxue in his heart.

He didn't want to be a two-timing scumbag.

However, sometimes things are not so easy to do.
