External Soul Ring?
Speaking of Tang San's right hand, Tang San circulated his Soul Power, and his right hand put on a glove that was similar to a skin-hugging green with a hint of blue. "I don't know what this is. It feels like something that actively merged into my hand when I absorbed Soul Ring."
"Let's try injecting more Soul Power," Zhou Qing said.
"Good."
Tang San poured more Soul Power into his right hand, and then the green glove emitted tiny white, sesame-seed-like specks of light that scattered in all directions, some of which stuck to Zhou Qing's body.
"Um?"
When these white sesame seeds appeared, Tang San realized that he seemed to be able to control them and tentatively manipulated them.
On the ground, Blue Silver Grass sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Blue Silver Grass also sprouted on Zhou Qing's body.
"Are these Blue Silver Grass absorbing my Soul Power?"
Zhou Qing could sense that the Soul Power within his body was being rapidly absorbed by the Blue Silver Grass growing on his body. However, as long as the Innate Internal Scripture Chart was activated, the Blue Silver Grass could not absorb any of it, and then withered, dissipated, and turned into specks of starlight, vanishing into Void.
It was merely borrowing his Soul Power to maintain its physical existence.
These are not real Blue Silver Grass, but rather Clone formed from energy, similar to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
However, this skill is somewhat similar to Tang San's Second Soul Skill in the original novel: Parasitism.
Bowing his head.
Squat down.
Zhou Qing touched a Blue Silver Grass that had grown on the ground and felt a strange power actively flowing into his body, protecting his Meridians.
"This is!"
Zhou Qing told Tang San about this and asked him to feel the power within his body.
"It's the kind of power that protects my heart meridian, formed by my First Soul Skill!" Tang San was surprised. He didn't expect that the white light spot released by his right hand was actually a seed of Blue Silver Grass, and it could also carry the effect of his First Soul Skill.
However, he felt the effect was somewhat weak.
His Soul Skill can provide about 50% of the enhancement effect of the Soul Skill, while the Blue Silver Grass that grows from this seed provides only about 40% of that energy.
"Now I can confirm that the condition of your right hand is definitely due to the absorption of the Soul Bone's effects."
Zhou Qing naturally knew about External Soul Bone, but he couldn't say it outright at the moment, because there was no information about External Soul Bone in the Nuoding Academy Library.
"Soul Bone?" Tang San asked in confusion. "Is it really Soul Bone? Aren't there only six Soul Bone in total: limbs, torso, and skull? Why is mine a hand?"
"Nonsense, don't you have bones in your palms?" Zhou Qing retorted.
"Uh..." Tang San was speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, since the Soul Bone corresponds to the human body's bones, then theoretically, there should also be corresponding Soul Bone for the palm bones, foot bones, and the like.
"Soul Bone, this kind of treasure, there is not much information about them in the Nuoding City Library, but in fact, like Soul Ring, they also inherit the abilities of Soul Beast, or even more fundamental abilities."
Zhou Qing began his analysis, "You know what? I have a guess. Although the Soul Skill of Soul Ring originate from Soul Beast, their skills, in most cases, need to rely on the Martial Soul to be released. That is, they will be slightly modified because of the appearance of the Martial Soul, and released in a form that is more suitable for the Soul Master's Martial Soul. In other words, they need to be modified to a certain extent because of the situation of the Martial Soul, but the skill is still the same skill."
"But Soul Bone are different. They can fully unleash the original skills of Soul Beast without needing to adapt to the form of Martial Soul, because they are directly fused into the human body, rather than being attached to Martial Soul."
"But your Right Palm Bone is different. The ability it gives you is another function of the Wolf Bristle Grass: to disperse seeds. Theoretically, it should disperse the seeds of the Wolf Bristle Grass, but the seeds it disperses grow into Blue Silver Grass... Do you know what this means?"
Tang San's expression shifted, and he guessed, "My Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has a deep connection with this Soul Bone, and my Martial Soul may even have influenced this Soul Bone?"
"That's right!"
Zhou Qing suspected that perhaps because they were both plant-type, the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline hidden within Tang San's body directly influenced this plant-type External Soul Bone, making it closely connected with Tang San's Martial Soul.
"The way this Soul Bone was obtained is also different. Other Soul Bone are usually dug out from the corpse of Soul Beast, but yours was directly fused into your right palm when absorbing Soul Ring. It may also have characteristics that other Soul Bone do not have... Have you sensed anything else about this Soul Bone?"
Tang San shook his head and said, "No, besides being able to release seeds, it doesn't seem to have any other skills. It seems that this Soul Bone is slowly getting stronger during normal cultivation?"
"Yes, that's it!" Zhou Qing said excitedly. "This means that this Soul Bone can be continuously strengthened as your Soul Power increases, and it may even reach the level of Hundred-Thousand-Year in the future!"
"It can't be that exaggerated, can it?" Tang San didn't quite believe it, but the fact that the Soul Bone in his right palm was slowly improving as his Soul Power increased was indeed true. At least he didn't sense whether the improvement of this Soul Bone had a limit.
"And this function might serve as a reference for us to perfectly Grafting the Soul Ring we absorb in the future onto the Soul Ring." Zhou Qing had an idea.
External Soul Bone Soul Bone those that can increase in age and power as the Soul Master's cultivation level improves. This is because they have perfectly integrated with the Soul Power circulation channels in the Soul Master's body, so that the Soul Power circulation routes within them are "Grafting" into the Soul Master's own Soul Power circulation.
Other Soul Bone are similar to the relationship between Soul Ring and Martial Soul; they are simply placed inside the Soul Master's body, but they do not perfectly integrate with the Soul Master's meridian system for cultivating Soul Power.
This is also reflected in the original work: when Tang San accepted the Sea God's Nine Trials, the Trial of Seven Emotions involved stripping away his Soul Bone and shaping it into Divine Armor. The last Soul Bone to be stripped away was the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone.
According to the original novel, this External Soul Bone is the most difficult to separate, as it is almost completely connected to Tang San's own bones and meridians.
Human body - Soul Bone / Special Soul Bone - The lifespan of a special Soul Bone can increase with the increase of Soul Master's cultivation level, but that cannot be done with Soul Bone.
Martial Soul - Soul Ring - Soul Ring cannot increase in age or power as the Martial Soul grows.
When these two comparisons were placed in front of Tang San, he pondered, "So, there should also be a kind of 'special Soul Ring ' among Soul Ring? That kind of Soul Ring should be able to grow together with the improvement of the Soul Master's cultivation and the growth of the Martial Soul, actively increasing its age and enhancing the power of the Soul Ring."
I have to say!
Tang San has quite a vivid imagination...
