Soul Bone

Looking at the passage he had blasted open, Li Yuan's face turned pale. He dropped to one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it, did it activate some cheat code or take steroids? How did it suddenly become so fierce? This isn't scientific or even fantasy!

Li Yuan could not help grumbling inwardly, but when he saw the Tyrannosaurus Beast charging at him again, his face turned even paler.

"This Tyrannosaurus Beast's current state is definitely abnormal. Both its strength and speed have increased dramatically, but it looks like it has lost its mind."

Li Yuan's mind raced as he assessed his current situation.

The Tyrannosaurus Beast was charging at him again, looking determined to fight him to the death.

Li Yuan could no longer spare the effort to complain.

"Shinra Tensei, A Bag of Rice Can You Carry!"

With a low shout, Li Yuan used another Self-Created Soul Skill.

Like Universal Pull, Shinra Tensei had also been inspired by the world of Naruto.

In Naruto, Shinra Tensei and Universal Pull were both classic ultimate moves of that rice-carrying youth, Nagato, though their effects differed.

Shinra Tensei created a force field centered on the user, repelling all surrounding objects and ninjutsu while damaging them.

In the world of Naruto, after consuming an enormous amount of Chakra, Pain's Deva Path had even used Super Almighty Push to destroy the entire Konoha Village.

In terms of sheer power, not even a Titled Douluo's attack could reach such a terrifying level.

Naturally, Li Yuan's self-created Pseudo Almighty Push was far inferior to the original in power.

He used Soul Power in place of Chakra to create a force field. It could repel a target and inflict a certain degree of damage.

To widen the distance between himself and the berserk Tyrannosaurus Beast and buy himself some time, Li Yuan used Shinra Tensei to push it back.

However, the result was not as good as he had expected. Although the Tyrannosaurus Beast's massive body stalled slightly, it quickly broke through the force field Li Yuan had created. Roaring, it charged at Li Yuan and was about to reach him.

"Fourth Brother, what are you doing?" At the edge of the battlefield, the White Jade Mammoth, which had been watching the fight, could no longer sit still and was preparing to intervene and save Li Yuan.

But the moment it moved, Juhua, who was lazily lying on a tree branch watching the show, called out to stop it.

"What else would I be doing? I'm going to save him. Xiao Yuan probably can't hold on much longer. That Tyrannosaurus Beast has gone berserk, and it won't be easy to deal with. Even I'd have to put in quite some effort against a Tyrannosaurus Beast in that state."

The White Jade Mammoth spoke with an honest expression.

"Sit down and watch the show in peace. Don't worry, Little Slave still has a trump card he hasn't used. Just wait a little longer. With his strength, even if he can't defeat this Tyrannosaurus Beast, he can still protect himself."

Juhua said faintly.

"What? Big Brother, are you saying Xiao Yuan still has a trump card? How come none of us knew?"

The remaining Spirit Beasts could not help growing curious as well.

Over the years, they had often accompanied Li Yuan in training, so they knew his strength fairly well. Logically speaking, Li Yuan should not have had any other trump cards.

"Big Brother, could you mean..." The Purple Gold Jade Face Fox suddenly seemed to think of something and spoke.

"That's right, that thing. We Spirit Beasts can't use it anyway, so I simply gave it to Little Slave."

Juhua said smugly.

While the Spirit Beasts watched the show and discussed it, the battle on the other side had already reached a fever pitch.

The berserk Tyrannosaurus Beast charged at Li Yuan with red eyes. Faced with the menacing beast, Li Yuan did not back down.

He also let out a low roar, grabbed the keyboard, and charged forward.

The next moment, the two figures collided like Mars crashing into Earth.

Then—then Li Yuan exploded!

That was right. The moment he collided with the Tyrannosaurus Beast, Li Yuan's body exploded. As Soul Power burst outward, the Tyrannosaurus Beast was blasted off balance and fell to the ground.

At that moment, the Tyrannosaurus Beast also looked rather bewildered. Its already limited brain capacity simply could not figure out what had just happened.

Why had its opponent suddenly exploded? Did that mean it had won?

Then why did it feel so stifled?

The Tyrannosaurus Beast looked around in confusion, completely at a loss.

However, at that moment, Li Yuan suddenly emerged from the nearby woods, looking completely unharmed.

What confused the Tyrannosaurus Beast even more was that the one Li Yuan suddenly flickered and turned into two.

Not only did they look exactly alike, even their auras were identical.

What was going on?

The Tyrannosaurus Beast could not make sense of the situation. Not only it—even the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts watching nearby were staring wide-eyed at one another.

After a moment, the Golden Lion finally asked uncertainly, "Big Brother, is that a soul bone from a Shadow Demon Beast?"

"That's right. It's a skull bone dropped by a Fifty Thousand Years Shadow Demon Beast. The Soul Skill it carries is Shadow Demon Clone," Juhua explained.

As the local cat of the Sunset Great Forest and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast powerhouse, Juhua possessed quite a few good things.

For example, soul bones.

For Human Soul Masters, obtaining a soul bone was extremely difficult. Under normal circumstances, the chance of a soul bone appearing was only one in a thousand, or perhaps even lower.

In other words, one would need to kill at least a thousand Spirit Beasts for a chance to obtain a soul bone—and even then, it was not guaranteed.

Whether one obtained a soul bone depended entirely on the Soul Master's luck. If they had the luck of someone from Africa, they might not get a single soul bone even after killing ten thousand Spirit Beasts.

Killing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast would guarantee a soul bone drop, but Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts were not easy to deal with. Even ordinary Titled Douluo might not necessarily win against one, let alone kill it.

In the current Douluo Continent, the only factions capable of hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts were likely Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects.

Thus, it was easy to imagine just how precious soul bones were. In the human world, they were treasures that money could not buy.

But for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast like Juhua, soul bones were not necessarily so precious.

Having lived in the Sunset Great Forest since childhood, Juhua had needed to fight countless Spirit Beasts to survive. Over the years, it did not know how many Spirit Beasts it had already killed.
