External Soul Bone: Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone

"Roar..."

Sensing the imposing aura emanating from the Hell White Tiger, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out a weak growl. Its instincts told it that the massive purple tiger before it would not be easy to deal with!

"So this is the Hell White Tiger? I can feel my strength and speed improving so much! This feeling never gets old!"

Dai Weisi's awed voice came from within the enormous Hell White Tiger. As the one in control of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he could perfectly command the Hell White Tiger's every movement.

If Martial Soul Possession had merely granted him a tiger's abilities, then now he had truly become a giant tiger. Swordsmen had a realm called Man and Sword as One, so he could be considered man and tiger as one.

"Weisi, hurry up and attack. The Hell White Tiger may be powerful, but it consumes Soul Power at an extreme rate. With our current Soul Power, we probably can't maintain it for long."

"I know. Leave it to me!"

The Hell White Tiger let out a tiger's roar, then under Dai Weisi's control, its legs tensed and kicked off fiercely. With a whoosh, it tore through the air like an arrow released from a bow.

In the blink of an eye, it flashed before the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and its enormous tiger paw slammed toward the giant bear's chest!

"Roar!!!"

Although it knew it was no match for the Hell White Tiger, the bloodline in the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's bones would not allow it to retreat. Tiger and giant bear—today, it would show the world who was the true king of the forest!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared furiously and charged straight into the Hell White Tiger's paw!

Boom!

The Hell White Tiger's strike was fast, precise, and ruthless! Its sharp tiger paw struck the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's chest with the force of Qian Jun.

The blow was immensely powerful. Not only did the terrifying force send the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear stumbling back more than ten steps, but the ground beneath both of them cracked apart inch by inch like a spiderweb.

"What an incredible Hell White Tiger. No wonder it's the Martial Soul Fusion Skill the Star Luo Royal Family relies on for survival!" Dai Weisi exclaimed excitedly. He could now clearly feel that a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was far more than simple addition.

The Hell White Tiger possessed strength and defense far beyond the Evil Eyed White Tiger, while also possessing speed and agile movement far beyond the Hell Spirit Cat.

Dai Weisi was currently level thirty-nine, while Zhu Zhuyun was level thirty-three. Even if the two joined forces, they might not necessarily be able to defeat a Soul King above level fifty.

Yet after using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they were fully capable of fighting a Soul King or even a Ten Thousand Year soul beast!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which had been driven back by the strike, clutched its chest. Two of its ribs had already been shattered. Though it possessed strength comparable to a Ten Thousand Year soul beast, its cultivation was ultimately only two thousand years.

If it had been an ordinary two-thousand-year soul beast, the Hell White Tiger's paw would have smashed it to pieces long ago!

"As expected of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Hopefully, I'll be lucky enough for it to yield a soul bone."

The Hell White Tiger charged out once more like a speeding truck. Seeing this, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear hurriedly raised its sharp arms to block.

However, the Hell White Tiger leaped into the air and, with ghostlike speed, went straight to its back before delivering a heavy blow to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's back!

"Storm Nebula Split!"

The moment the words fell, with a tearing sound, the Hell White Tiger's claw carved three bloody wounds across the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's back. The pain made it howl miserably, but this was only the beginning.

Next, the Hell White Tiger continuously swung its claws. With speed far exceeding that of the Hell Spirit Cat, its tiger paws moved so fast that only afterimages could be seen. Extreme speed combined with immense strength smashed every bone in the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's chest and legs!

As the Hell White Tiger smashed its skull apart with a single claw, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear finally died.

A vast amount of Soul Power flowed out of its body, eventually forming a purple soul ring that hovered above the corpse.

But the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was a top-tier soul beast, one capable of confronting Ten Thousand Year soul beasts while still a Thousand Year soul beast. The energy within its body was unimaginably immense.

Even after forming a two-thousand-year soul ring, it still retained a massive amount of Soul Power.

Very soon, that excess Soul Power gathered around the bones throughout its body. Clearly, it would not be long before a soul bone appeared.

"Success or failure rests on this! If I can obtain the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's palm bone, my strength will definitely become even greater, just like Huo Yuhao's in the future!"

As he spoke, Dai Weisi released the Hell White Tiger. The massive Hell White Tiger vanished, replaced by Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

Dai Weisi was still doing fine, as his Soul Power was extremely abundant. But Zhu Zhuyun's face was flushed red. She panted heavily, her body swaying as though she could collapse at any moment.

"Zhuyun!" Seeing this, Dai Weisi immediately wrapped his arms around Zhu Zhuyun's frail body and asked anxiously, "Zhuyun, are you all right?"

Zhu Zhuyun nodded gently, breathing heavily. "It's nothing. I just used too much Soul Power. I'll be fine after resting for a while."

"I'll help you into the carriage so you can rest." With that, Dai Weisi supported Zhu Zhuyun into the carriage. He then went to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's corpse and, with an uneasy heart, cut it open.

Sure enough, a glittering golden right palm bone appeared before Dai Weisi's eyes.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was a metal-attributed soul beast, and his Evil Eyed White Tiger also possessed the metal attribute of slaughter. This soul bone was exceptionally suitable for Dai Weisi.

Moreover, it was an External Soul Bone capable of evolving.

Dai Weisi excitedly picked up the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone, eager to absorb it immediately.

"Uncle Li, I'm going to absorb this soul bone. Please stand guard for me."

"Yes, First Prince!"

Without hesitation, Dai Weisi absorbed the right palm bone. With his current cultivation, along with Mental Power twice that of an ordinary person, absorbing a two-thousand-year soul bone was no difficult task.

Two hours later, he had absorbed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone. Dai Weisi's right claw was now covered in a layer of gold, resembling the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's bear claw. It was incomparably sharp and could be used as a weapon outright!

Not only that, the soul bone greatly improved Dai Weisi's strength and physical constitution, and it also granted him a powerful skill: Dark Gold Terrorclaw!

It possessed the might to tear apart giant dragons and shake heaven and earth!

Afterward, Dai Weisi returned to the carriage. Upon learning that he had absorbed a soul bone, Zhu Zhuyun was first delighted, then frowned slightly. "Weisi, although soul bones are rare, this is still only a two-thousand-year soul bone. Was it really worth absorbing? With the Star Luo Royal Family's resources, obtaining a Ten Thousand Year soul bone should be quite easy."

Hearing this, Dai Weisi gently stroked Zhu Zhuyun's little head and laughed. "Zhuyun, if it had truly been an ordinary soul bone, why would I have absorbed it? From what I observed, it was a right palm bone, not a right arm bone.

I once saw in the Star Luo Royal Family's records that palm bones are a type of External Soul Bone. That is why I absorbed it."

"An External Soul Bone?!"

PS: Regarding the setting that External Soul Bones must be absorbed only after obtaining a soul beast's soul ring: neither Huo Yuhao nor Tang Wulin absorbed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring before absorbing its External Soul Bone. Since the author routinely ignores established settings, we'll abolish that setting here as well.
