External Soul Bone, Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings

Moreover, Qian Renxue was highly confident that she could escape Ai City.

But on the surface, she still maintained her disguise perfectly. "Since you're providing me with good food and drink, why should I be in such a hurry?"

"Heh, it'd better be." Aiven remained suspicious.

He then ordered, "Someone, arrange a room for the Heaven Dou Empire's First Prince."

A Maid entered. "First Prince, please follow me."

Before long, Qian Renxue was led into a suite on the same floor.

Aiven's expression turned stern. "Xiahou Dun, keep a close watch on that room tonight. Report to me immediately if there's the slightest disturbance."

"Uh, Lord, there are guards and patrols everywhere in the Duke's Mansion now. Even if he wants to escape, he won't be able to. Is there really a need to be this cautious?" Xiahou Dun asked in confusion.

"You don't understand. This person possesses an exceptionally skilled disguise technique."

Qian Renxue could change both her appearance and Martial Soul into that of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, so she was also capable of disguising herself as someone else.

If she changed identities before leaving Ai City, escaping would be easy.

"Understood!"

"Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue... I hope you'll stay put and not bring trouble upon yourself." Aiven muttered as he sat back down on the sofa.

He then opened the virtual screen.

Of the four built-in tasks in the Conquest System before him, he had already completed the first.

Possess your own Fief and become a regional leader. Reward: one External Soul Bone.

Task completed. Grant reward?

"Yes!"

Aiven decisively selected yes.

Reward granted: Ten-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone, Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings.

"Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings? That sounds pretty damn impressive." Aiven thought as he carefully examined the External Soul Bone's information.

Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings Ability Analysis: Grants flight. Enhances all attributes by 70%: physique, speed, strength, mental power, Soul Power, and Light Attribute strength increased by 100%.

His Emperor Sword was a Light Attribute Martial Soul.

A one-hundred-percent increase in Light Attribute strength was equivalent to doubling the power of his soul skills.

Passive Effect: Emperor Heavenly Dragon's Pressure. After releasing the External Soul Bone, it naturally emits an oppressive aura. Any enemy whose number of soul rings does not exceed yours by two rings or more will be weakened by 10% under Emperor Heavenly Dragon's Pressure.

"Damn, this passive effect is kind of like a Domain Skill!"

Attached Skill: Emperor's Power. Can gather the strength and Soul Power of ten thousand people into one body to unleash an attack upon an enemy. Charging time: five seconds. The stronger those ten thousand people are, the more powerful Emperor's Power becomes.

"Holy shit, Emperor's Power? This move is insane!" Aiven exclaimed in surprise.

Besides Martial Soul Fusion Skills, the Douluo Continent World also had a type of coordinated move used by multiple people or groups, known as an array formation!

For example, the defensive grand formation of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights.

The Wind Lightning Sword Array and Wind Pressure Sword Array of the Wind Sword Sect.

The Clear Sky Array Formation of the Clear Sky Sect, and so on.

They were all skills formed by combining the power of large groups, capable of unleashing formidable moves.

Emperor's Power was somewhat similar to an array formation.

But this move had no upper limit!

If all ten thousand people were powerful soul masters, how terrifying would it be?

"Powerful. I'll test it properly in a couple of days." Aiven was extremely satisfied and prepared to grant the Soul Bone next.

"Then come on, my External Soul Bone, Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings!"

As Aiven accepted the reward, the Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings, seemingly forged from gold and gleaming with brilliant golden light, finally appeared before him.

When the golden wings spread open, their span reached roughly three meters.

They looked incredibly cool and flashy!

The Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings quickly merged with his body on their own.

Although he knew that absorbing an External Soul Bone could increase his Soul Power, it could also strengthen his physique. With a stronger physique, he could absorb his first soul ring beyond his level, so it was no loss.

Before long, the External Soul Bone had completely fused with Aiven's body.

He could freely release and retract the External Soul Bone, and he could clearly feel the increase in his physical strength after releasing the Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Whoa, I can fly. This feels really great." Aiven flapped his wings twice, finding the sensation wonderful and fantastical.

He withdrew his power, landed on the ground, and smiled. "Once I finish tomorrow's business, I'll head to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest the day after tomorrow to obtain my first soul ring. By then, I'll be a true soul master."

Aiven was filled with anticipation.

Time quickly passed until after ten at night.

Aiven had yet to sleep. He was waiting to see whether Qian Renxue would attempt to flee tonight.

At that moment, Qian Renxue's door suddenly opened. She said to the soldiers guarding both sides of the entrance, "Hey, this Imperial Son is hungry and wants something to eat. Go get someone to bring me a late-night snack."

"Uh... all right. Please wait a moment."

Aiven had said to treat her well with food and drink, so the soldier did not refuse. He went to the kitchen and had the chef get up to work overtime.

Qian Renxue's action soon reached Aiven's ears. "Lord, Xue Qinghe had someone prepare him a late-night snack."

"After ten is indeed a time for a late-night snack, but is she truly hungry, or is it an act?"

"Lord, you mean..."

Aiven sneered. "Heh."

Soon, half an hour later.

A Maid carrying several bowls of steaming late-night snacks entered Qian Renxue's room.

"Your Highness, I've brought your late-night snack."

"Mm, put it on the table."

"Yes."

The Maid had no idea that Qian Renxue was about to make a move against her.

After the Maid set down the snacks.

Bang!

In one swift step, Qian Renxue knocked the Maid unconscious.

She immediately used the skill of the Angel Inheritance Spirit Bone inherited by the Six-Winged Angel Clan's Qian Family, transforming herself into the Maid's appearance.

Then, paying close attention to the details, she quickly ate several large portions of the snacks before carrying the Maid onto the bed and covering her with a blanket.

After doing all that, she prepared to leave.

Qian Renxue sneered. "Heh, you want to use me as a bargaining chip? I, Qian Renxue, am not someone a mere duke's son like you can control."

Now that she had become a Maid, no matter how heavily guarded the Duke's Mansion was, she could stroll right out.

Once she left the Duke's Mansion, leaving Ai City would be even easier.

By the time Aiven discovered it, she, Qian Renxue, would already be long gone from Ai City.

"Bye-bye, little brat. Once big sister returns to Heaven Dou City, the Empire's army and the Kingdom Army will launch a massive assault on Ai City and kill you."

Qian Renxue straightened her clothes, smiling smugly as she opened the door and walked out.

The soldiers outside had no idea that this Maid was now Qian Renxue.

Right before the soldiers' eyes, she left the room step by step, a confident smile hanging on her lips.

But just as Qian Renxue thought she could escape smoothly.

An accident occurred!

Aiven's voice suddenly rang out from behind her. "Stop!!"
