Unique External Soul Bone!

Long Yun and Yue Guan exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. After a moment of silence, Yue Guan spoke first. "Did you come this time to take Long Yun back to your Divine Palace?" His expression was far from pleasant. If this man truly took Long Yun away, he would not even know how to explain it to Your Holiness the Pope when he returned.

Du Busi shook his head. "The Palace Master only instructed me to find the Young Master. He said that after finding him, I was to follow all of his arrangements. He did not order me to bring the Young Master back no matter what."

Upon hearing that, Yue Guan let out a heavy sigh of relief. As long as Long Yun was not being forcibly taken away, everything was fine. He then turned his gaze toward Long Yun, awaiting his choice—would he return to the Divine Palace with this man, or remain in Spirit Hall?

Long Yun put on a thoughtful expression. After a long while, he shook his head. "I'd rather not return to the Divine Palace with you yet. When I have the chance in the future, I'll go there and take a look."

A smile appeared on Yue Guan's face. He was extremely satisfied with Long Yun's decision.

"Very well. I respect the Young Master's choice. Since you are unwilling to go to the Divine Palace for now, allow me to remain by your side so I can protect you," Du Busi said.

Long Yun looked at Yue Guan. After hesitating for a moment, the latter nodded. With such strength, if he dared say even half a word of refusal, he would probably receive another slap. Besides, having such a powerful expert by Long Yun's side was a good thing. Did that not amount to Spirit Hall gaining another powerful expert? That was simply wonderful.

"Alright! You can stay by my side from now on!" Long Yun said with a smile and a nod. His objective had finally been achieved.

"By the way, I still don't know your name," Long Yun asked deliberately.

"My name is Du Busi, a Level 98 Super Douluo," Du Busi said.

"Level 98!" Yue Guan was inwardly shaken upon hearing that. He had not expected the other party to be a Level 98 Super Douluo. Even within Spirit Hall, there were probably few who could defeat him at that level of strength!

"Then I'll call you Old Poison from now on! This is Chrysanthemum Elder," Long Yun introduced.

"Greetings, Senior. This junior is Yue Guan, a Level 94 Power Attack System Titled Douluo. My title is Chrysanthemum," Yue Guan said respectfully to Du Busi. With the other party's Level 98 strength, he was worthy of being addressed as Senior.

"Mhm." Du Busi nodded in response. He had little interest in paying attention to Yue Guan.

Yue Guan could see the other man's attitude and did not mind it. It was only natural for someone with such strength to be arrogant.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, now that Old Poison is here to protect me, why don't you return first? Tell Teacher about my situation, and let her know that I'll probably stay here for more than ten days before returning. Tell her not to worry about me," Long Yun said to Yue Guan.

"This..." Yue Guan hesitated. He did not fully trust Du Busi yet. What if something happened to Long Yun after he left? Though even if he stayed, he would not be much help.

"You don't trust me?" Du Busi snorted coldly. Though he did not release any pressure, Yue Guan shuddered the moment he heard those words.

"Of course not, of course not. I'm simply worried..." He turned his gaze toward Long Yun.

Long Yun smiled. "Chrysanthemum Elder, you don't need to worry. I believe Old Poison would never harm me, and with him protecting me, nothing will happen to me."

Seeing Long Yun put it that way, Yue Guan said no more. "Alright then. I'll return to Pope's Palace first." With that, Yue Guan vanished from where he stood.

Once Yue Guan had left, Long Yun smiled at Du Busi. "Old Poison, your acting was really quite good."

"Haha, it was the Young Master's instructions that were good," Du Busi said with a laugh.

Long Yun merely smiled. "Old Poison, hide yourself for now. Let me train alone in this forest for a few days. Only step in when I encounter danger."

"Alright," Du Busi replied.

Du Busi was just about to conceal himself when he suddenly noticed the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King lying on the ground, and he could not help letting out a soft sound of surprise.

"Hm? Old Poison, did you discover something?" Long Yun also noticed Du Busi suddenly staring at the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King. He looked over as well, but did not see anything unusual.

After staring at the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King for a moment, Du Busi suddenly laughed loudly. "Haha, congratulations, Young Master. You've truly struck it lucky this time."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Long Yun asked in confusion.

"Young Master, do you know what is most precious within a soul beast's body?" Du Busi asked mysteriously.

"What's most precious? Of course it's..."

Long Yun suddenly realized something. His eyes widened as he stared at the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King's body in disbelief. Having read the original work, he naturally knew what was most precious within a soul beast's body. "A Soul Bone?"

Du Busi nodded. "That's right. I sensed an unusual fluctuation within its body. That fluctuation was emitted by a Soul Bone, and this Soul Bone is somewhat special." He possessed three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones himself, so he was naturally extremely familiar with the Soul Power fluctuations emitted by Soul Bones. That was why he had detected the Soul Bone's existence without even needing to fully dissect the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King's corpse.

"It really is a Soul Bone! I really am a European Emperor!" Long Yun said, his breathing quickening. "Quick, Old Poison, take out that Soul Bone first!"

"Mhm." Du Busi did not waste words. With a movement of his hand, he used Soul Power to envelop the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King's corpse. In an instant, the corpse scattered apart. He had not torn it directly into pieces, but divided it into chunks of varying sizes. This soul beast meat would be greatly beneficial to Long Yun, so he naturally did not want to waste it.

As the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King's corpse scattered, a pale-purple object emitting a peculiar Soul Power fluctuation slowly floated out and flew toward Long Yun.

What exquisite control over Soul Power! Long Yun was inwardly astonished, but his shock was quickly replaced by excitement. As he watched the Soul Bone draw closer and closer, his eyes burned with eagerness. Was he obtaining a Soul Bone so soon?

The purple object stopped in front of Long Yun. Only then did he clearly see the Soul Bone's exact shape. When he did, his expression became somewhat strange. This Soul Bone was a little different from what he had imagined!

It did not seem to be a limb bone, nor was it a skull bone or torso bone. It looked like a pair of eyes? Long Yun could not help frowning.

"Old Poison, are you sure this is a Soul Bone?" Long Yun asked uncertainly. How was this a Soul Bone? Were these not the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King's eyes? He had noticed earlier that the wolf king's eyes had looked exactly like this.

Du Busi smiled and shook his head. "Young Master, this is indeed a Soul Bone, and it is not an ordinary one."

"Not an ordinary Soul Bone? Could it be an External Soul Bone?" Long Yun asked in surprise. He knew of External Soul Bones. They were treasures second only to Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, far rarer than ordinary Soul Bones, things one could only encounter by chance. Had he really found one?

After hearing Du Busi's words, Long Yun carefully examined the pair of eyes before him as if they were peerless treasures.

"That's right. This is an External Soul Bone. No, it should count as two External Soul Bones, and they are even the relatively rare eye-type External Soul Bones. This is truly incredible luck!" Du Busi said with some emotion. Even he could not help feeling tempted by such External Soul Bones. However, these Soul Bones belonged to Long Yun, so he could not muster even the slightest greed.

If it had been anyone else, even a soul master of the same level, he would not have hesitated in the slightest before taking them by force.

With Du Busi's confirmation, Long Yun knew these were most likely External Soul Bones. His gaze toward the pair of eyes became even more fervent, and his body trembled uncontrollably with excitement. He wanted to reach out and touch them, but halfway through, he withdrew his hand, afraid that he might accidentally damage them.

"Young Master, absorb these External Soul Bones. They are priceless treasures that can only be encountered by chance. After absorbing them, your strength will definitely rise greatly. They will also grow as your strength increases, and the help they bring you will be beyond imagination," Du Busi said.

"Mhm." Naturally, Long Yun would not miss out on such a treasure. Though these eye Soul Bones were somewhat strange, they were still External Soul Bones. The benefits after absorbing them would certainly be astonishing.

"Um... how do I absorb them?" Long Yun asked somewhat awkwardly. He had never even absorbed a soul ring before, so he did not know what to do.

"Place the Soul Bones before your eyes, then circulate your Soul Power and guide them into your body," Du Busi said.

Following Du Busi's instructions, Long Yun began circulating the Soul Power within his body and guided the pair of eyes toward himself. Under his guidance, the eyes slowly approached his own.

The pair of pale-purple eyes began to make contact with his own. The moment they touched, Long Yun felt a strange energy begin flowing into his eyes. Once inside, that energy slowly circulated through them. It was extremely gentle, making his eyes feel very comfortable.

The pale-purple eyes gradually merged into Long Yun's own. As they fused, Long Yun felt as though an additional layer had formed on the outermost surface of his eyes. The eyes that had fused into him were like a protective film wrapping around his original eyes. At the same time, this layer rapidly blended with Long Yun's eyes, quickly merging tightly with them until they became indistinguishable from one another.

At that moment, a vast amount of energy began flooding into every part of Long Yun's body. As the energy flowed through him, his body slowly strengthened. The bones within him became harder, and his Soul Power circulated much faster than before. This was the energy within the Soul Bones transforming a soul master's physique. Though this transformation could not be called earth-shattering, the benefits it brought to a soul master were certainly not minor. The most obvious effects were an increase in Soul Power and a stronger body.

The fusion of these eye-type External Soul Bones did not bring the intense pain Long Yun had expected. The process was remarkably smooth, and after only half an hour, it began to draw to a close.

After absorbing the Soul Bones, a great deal of information flowed into Long Yun's mind. He did not rush to open his eyes, instead carefully processing this information. He knew it was likely related to the Soul Bone skills, something he cared deeply about, so he treated it with great importance.
