"That brat!"

After Bibi Dong finished reading the letter, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed again, and a somewhat speechless expression appeared on her face.

The letter roughly said that Dai Changsheng felt that reading ten thousand books was no match for traveling ten thousand miles. He planned to travel for about a month to broaden his horizons and see if he could find any new inspiration to create new Self-Created Soul Skills.

Hu Liena could not help asking worriedly, "Teacher, Changsheng is only seven years old. Is it really alright for him to go out alone?"

"It's fine! That brat is clever, and he has two Ten Thousand Year Soul Battle Slaves with him. His safety is assured."

Bibi Dong first reassured Hu Liena, then snorted coldly. "But that brat actually dared to pull this stunt of acting first and reporting later. When he comes back, I'll beat his backside raw!"

"Achoo!"

Meanwhile, Dai Changsheng, who had ridden the Ten Thousand Year Light Swan to the vicinity of Nuoding City, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

"Could someone be talking behind my back?"

Dai Changsheng rubbed his nose and patted the Ten Thousand Year Light Swan's back, having it land in the woods near Nuoding City.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Dai Changsheng directly put away the Ten Thousand Year Light Swan, changed his appearance with the Disguise Technique, and then strode openly into Nuoding City.

The reason Dai Changsheng had suddenly left home was not truly because he wanted to broaden his horizons, but because his Soul Power had reached level 27. It was time to prepare to absorb his third Soul Ring.

With Dai Changsheng's current strength, the best way to further raise the upper limit of the Soul Rings he could absorb was to consume an Immortal Herb capable of evolving a Martial Soul or fuse a high-year Soul Bone into his body.

That was why Dai Changsheng had deliberately come to Nuoding City. There were two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones here.

Besides Xiao Wu, the transformed Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had also been hidden by Tang Hao in a cave near Holy Soul Village.

Since Dai Changsheng could not yet absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, killing Xiao Wu directly for her Soul Bone would be too wasteful. Thus, he was in no hurry to make a move against Xiao Wu. His true target this time was the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

According to the original plot, Tang Hao had secluded himself in Holy Soul Village in order to guard the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling.

If Dai Changsheng wanted to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone hidden in the same cave as the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling, he had to find a way to lure Tang Hao away and pull the tiger from the mountain.

Thus, after entering Nuoding City, Dai Changsheng secretly hired four Battle Soul Venerables. Under the pretense of going to cause trouble for Yu Xiaogang, they also gave Tang San a severe beating.

Tang San's Soul Power was only in the teens at the moment, and he had no powerful hidden weapons or poisons in hand. He was no match for those four Battle Soul Venerables and was soon beaten until even his own mother would not recognize him.

With Dai Changsheng pulling strings from the shadows, news of Tang San's beating quickly reached the villagers of Holy Soul Village.

When the Village Chief of Holy Soul Village learned of the matter, he hurriedly dragged the drunken Tang Hao to Nuoding City to visit Tang San.

Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone

Seeing this from the shadows, Dai Changsheng hurriedly took advantage of Tang Hao's absence from Holy Soul Village to search for the cave concealing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

Based on the original plot, the cave containing the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling was located on a mountain near Holy Soul Village that stood several hundred meters tall and had a waterfall hanging from it.

Riding the Ten Thousand Year Light Swan around Holy Soul Village, Dai Changsheng soon found that distinctive mountain.

After passing through the waterfall meant to deceive outsiders, Dai Changsheng entered a dark, damp cave.

After walking down the pitch-black passage for a short while, a stone chamber of around ten square meters appeared before him.

There were no furnishings inside the stone chamber, leaving it completely bare. A small mound of earth sat in the center, planted with a stalk of Blue Silver Grass bearing golden thread-like patterns. It was the legendary Blue Silver Emperor Seedling.

After staring at the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling for a while, Dai Changsheng did not hesitate for long. He took out a shovel he had prepared in advance and dug it up by the roots.

Though the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling was of no use to Dai Changsheng, he had come all this way. He could not just leave it behind for Tang San to benefit from, could he?

"Knock, knock, knock..."

After putting away the Blue Silver Emperor Seedling, Dai Changsheng began tapping the cave walls with his hand. He soon found the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone hidden inside a lead box.

To prevent Tang Hao from noticing something was amiss and blocking his escape, Dai Changsheng did not dare refine the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone on the spot. He immediately rode the Ten Thousand Year Light Swan away from the area.

Meanwhile, under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, Tang Hao also met Tang San, who had been beaten into a pig's head.

At this point, Tang Hao still believed Tang San had been implicated by Yu Xiaogang. He had no idea that even his wife had been stolen.

Therefore, Tang Hao was in no hurry to return to Holy Soul Village. He planned to settle things with those Battle Soul Venerables after nightfall.

Stars dotted the sky, and the bright moon hung high overhead.

Under the cover of night, Dai Changsheng, dressed in a black robe, arrived at a small town more than a hundred kilometers away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Compared with forests of Soul Beasts raised in captivity, wild Soul Beast forests like the Star Dou Great Forest were far more dangerous.

Soul Beasts often ran out of the Star Dou Great Forest, so even the closest towns remained more than a hundred kilometers away from it.

The small town Dai Changsheng was in covered three or four times the area of an ordinary town and felt more like a small city. Its streets were especially lively, with hurried Soul Masters visible everywhere.

After entering the bustling town, Dai Changsheng casually found an ordinary tavern and rented a guest room.

"Whoosh!!!"

As Dai Changsheng slowly opened the lead box containing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, a flash of blue-gold light burst forth.

Inside the pitch-black lead box lay a strangely shaped Soul Bone. It was entirely translucent blue-gold, as though specks of starlight flickered within it, and it radiated a rich aura of life.

"Hmm?"

Just as Dai Changsheng took out the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, a middle-aged Soul Master shopping near the tavern suddenly revealed a surprised expression and turned to look in Dai Changsheng's direction.

What pure Soul Power fluctuations! Did some Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast sneak in, or could it be... a Soul Bone?

The middle-aged Soul Master mused to himself, unable to stop a trace of greed from flashing through his eyes.

This middle-aged Soul Master was named Benson. He was an experienced Soul Beast hunter whose Soul Power had reached level 63.

Several years ago, when Benson had hunted a Ten Thousand Year Three-tailed Fox, he had been fortunate enough to obtain a head Soul Bone from it.

The Soul Skill attached to that Three-tailed Fox Skull was a detection-type Soul Skill called Soul Power Perception, which allowed its user to sense Soul Power fluctuations within a thousand-meter radius.

For a Soul Beast hunter like Benson, the ability of Soul Power Perception was like adding wings to a tiger.

Whenever Benson hunted Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, he would actively avoid Soul Beasts whose Soul Power fluctuations were stronger than his own, minimizing the risks of hunting Soul Beasts.

Though Benson had guessed that the Soul Power fluctuations he had just sensed might have come from a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, he had no intention of acting rashly.

After all, those who could obtain Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were usually rather powerful Soul Masters.

If the owner of that Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was far stronger than him, Benson naturally would not do something as foolish as throwing away his life.

But if that person's strength was similar to his, or weaker than his, then he could not blame Benson for going in for the kill.

One had to know that in the perilous Star Dou Great Forest, other Soul Masters were sometimes even more dangerous than the wild Soul Beasts living there.

Veteran Soul Beast hunters like Benson often had the blood of other Soul Masters on their hands.

Dai Changsheng had no idea that someone had already set their sights on him. He was fully circulating the Nine Yang Divine Skill to refine the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

After more than three hours of full-force refinement, Dai Changsheng finally refined all the Soul Power fed back by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. His Soul Power surged from level 27 to level 30.

Of course, the Soul Power fed back by a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could not possibly amount to so little.

It was only because Dai Changsheng had yet to absorb his third Soul Ring that his Soul Power was capped at level 30. His true Soul Power had already reached around level 36.

As Dai Changsheng completely refined the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, information about the Soul Bone's Soul Skills also surfaced in his mind.

Under normal circumstances, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones often came with two Soul Skills, and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was naturally no exception.

The two Soul Skills attached to the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone were Wildfire Cannot Burn It All, Spring Wind Brings It Back to Life, and Flight!

Wildfire Cannot Burn It All, Spring Wind Brings It Back to Life was a self-healing Soul Skill that could greatly improve the user's recovery ability. Even severed limbs could regrow on their own, and the Soul Skill's effects would be further strengthened in places with abundant Blue Silver Grass.

As its name implied, the Flight Soul Skill allowed its user to gain the ability to fly.

Unfortunately, the Flight Soul Skill was somewhat useless to Dai Changsheng.

When Dai Changsheng used the Flight Soul Skill, his Soul Power would be continuously consumed. The faster he flew, the faster his Soul Power would be depleted.

With Dai Changsheng's current Soul Power, he could not sustain the Flight Soul Skill for very long. At most, he could fly a few hundred li before all the Soul Power in his body was exhausted. It was better to travel on the Ten Thousand Year Light Swan!

Still, Dai Changsheng was not too disappointed. His main purpose in absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was to increase his Soul Power and raise the upper limit of Soul Rings he could withstand. The strength of its attached Soul Skills did not matter much to him.

Pretending to Be Weak and Devour the Strong

In any case, Dai Changsheng could share the memories of himself from other worlds, so he would never need to worry about lacking offensive methods in the future.

After stabilizing the Soul Power in his body, Dai Changsheng finally went to sleep with a happy smile, dreaming sweet dreams of punching Tang San and kicking Tang Hao.

The next morning

After waking from his dreams, Dai Changsheng washed up briefly before heading to the tavern's first-floor hall for breakfast.

"Hmm?"

Just as Dai Changsheng was leisurely eating breakfast, he suddenly felt several prying gazes coming from the shadows. His brows furrowed slightly, but he calmly continued eating.

After absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Dai Changsheng's height had increased sharply again, but he was still only around 1.6 meters tall.

Furthermore, Dai Changsheng looked far too young. At most, he appeared to be a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy.

Since Dai Changsheng was alone as well, it was perfectly normal for certain ill-intentioned people to target him.

Dai Changsheng soon finished breakfast. Pretending as though he had noticed nothing, he strolled through the streets and left the town.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Once Dai Changsheng had traveled some distance from the town, the Soul Masters following behind him could no longer hold themselves back. They leaped out and blocked his path.

The leader was a burly man who looked to be in his thirties, accompanied by three other men of roughly the same age.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The four Soul Masters simultaneously activated their Soul Power, summoning their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

The burly man at the front had two yellow and two purple Soul Rings circling his body, while each of the other three had one white, one yellow, and one purple Soul Ring.

"Kid, hand over the Storage Soul Tool on you, and I'll spare your life!"

As soon as the burly man finished speaking, he directly used Martial Soul Possession, transforming into a green-skinned lizard man over two meters tall.

Storage Soul Tools were extremely valuable. Even the cheapest Storage Soul Tool was worth at least tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins.

It was precisely because the burly man and his companions had accidentally seen Dai Changsheng use a Storage Soul Tool while shopping that they had targeted him as such a fat sheep.

"You want my Storage Soul Tool? Then you'll have to ask whether Xiao Hei agrees first."

A teasing glint flashed in Dai Changsheng's eyes as he summoned the Ten Thousand Year Face-Eating Spider.

The Man Faced Demon Spider, having been transformed into a Soul Battle Slave, looked somewhat illusory, its body translucent.

Its main body was over two meters in diameter, its eight spear-like legs were more than five meters long, its back was covered in black armor, and its abdomen bore white markings resembling a ghostly face.

"Xiao Hei, kill them all!"

At Dai Changsheng's command, the Man Faced Demon Spider suddenly spat out a mass of white mucus that shot toward the burly man and his companions, whose expressions changed drastically.

"Bang!"

When the mass of white mucus was less than three meters away from the burly man and the others, it suddenly burst apart, transforming into a white spiderweb more than five meters across and enveloping all four men, who had failed to dodge in time.

The web spat out by the Man Faced Demon Spider was not only incredibly sticky and tough, but also carried terrifying neurotoxins.

"Whoosh—"

Before the burly man and his companions could break free from the dreadful web, the Man Faced Demon Spider rushed over in a blur, swinging its spear-like legs and instantly piercing all four of their heads.

"Alright, Xiao Hei, come ba—"

Just as Dai Changsheng was about to call back the Man Faced Demon Spider, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He pushed off with his feet and vanished from the spot like lightning.

"Boom!!!"

The moment Dai Changsheng left his original position, a humanoid pangolin nearly two meters tall and covered in earthy-yellow scales burst from underground, brandishing its sharp foreclaws.

Had Dai Changsheng not dodged in time, that thing would likely have ambushed him with a crotch strike.

Seeing the six Soul Rings circling the humanoid pangolin, Dai Changsheng could tell that it was a Soul Emperor who had awakened a pangolin Martial Soul, rather than a Soul Beast that merely resembled a human.

"You little brat are indeed not simple. No wonder you dared to adventure alone."

Benson, whose sneak attack had failed, turned to the Man Faced Demon Spider that had already rushed to Dai Changsheng's side. His eyes were filled with greed as he said, "This Ten Thousand Year Face-Eating Spider must have been summoned with your Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, right? What a powerful Soul Skill!"

It was no wonder Benson thought so, because the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from Dai Changsheng were only around level 30.

Under normal circumstances, Dai Changsheng could have absorbed at most two hundred-year Soul Rings and one Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
