The Best Way to Get a Soul Bone Drop Is to Fight Dirty!

The Best Way to Get a Soul Bone Drop Is to Fight Dirty!

After successfully taking Dugu Bo as his master,

Ye Yu often took the opportunity to visit Dugu Manor with Dugu Yan.

There, he studied Pharmacology and Toxicology under Dugu Bo.

Thanks to the photographic memory brought by his identity as a transmigrator,

Along with the outstanding learning ability and breadth of thought gained from his previous life's education and experiences,

Ye Yu performed exceptionally well while studying Pharmacology and Toxicology under Dugu Bo.

At first, Dugu Bo had only intended to accept Ye Yu as a nominal disciple and teach him a few things casually.

But after discovering how outstanding Ye Yu was, coupled with Dugu Yan constantly speaking up for him,

On Douluo Continent, strength was paramount!

Very few people were willing to study Pharmacology and Toxicology.

And even fewer could master it!

Even his granddaughter Dugu Yan, who had inherited the family's teachings, had not learned Dugu Bo's Pharmacology and Toxicology knowledge particularly well and had only a mediocre grasp of it.

Dugu Bo had actually been worried for a long time.

Whom should he pass down his grandmaster-level legacy of Pharmacology and Toxicology to?

He had never expected to encounter Ye Yu.

Talented people were hard to come by.

This made Dugu Bo unable to resist passing down all his true knowledge of Pharmacology and Toxicology to Ye Yu.

Though he still did not agree to Ye Yu being with his granddaughter Dugu Yan,

Dugu Bo's impression of Ye Yu had grown better and better, and his appreciation for him had steadily deepened.

He was almost treating Ye Yu like his own child or nephew.

And during his studies under Dugu Bo,

Although he had proposed a way to resolve the Jade Phosphorous Poison,

How to obtain a soul bone remained a major problem!

Regarding this, Ye Yu found an opportunity to reveal the soul bone drop patterns he had "researched."

But Dugu Bo remained skeptical.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed.

Dugu Yan finally broke through to Rank 20 and could hunt her second soul ring.

Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo, Ye Yu, and Dugu Yan walked through the dense forest.

"Kid, are you sure this will work?"

Dugu Bo, dressed in green robes, with a lean frame, long green hair, and an eerie face, frowned deeply as he looked at Ye Yu beside him.

"I can't guarantee it one hundred percent."

"But doing this really can increase the chances of getting a soul bone drop."

"If we're lucky, we might even obtain an External Soul Bone. It's worth taking the gamble!"

"Besides, with you here, Teacher, Yanyan won't be in any danger."

Ye Yu said with a smile on his handsome face.

"Hmph! Even so, this old man can't help but worry!"

Dugu Bo snorted unhappily, folding his arms.

"Grandpa! I believe in A Yu. It'll definitely be fine!"

Dugu Yan clung to Dugu Bo's arm and said coquettishly with a giggle.

"This is an External Soul Bone!"

"Anyway, with Grandpa by my side, there won't be any danger. And I have the three life-saving weapons Ye Yu gave me too."

"If it really works, and your granddaughter obtains a legendary External Soul Bone, we'll have struck it rich!"

"Ah!"

Dugu Bo let out a resentful, helpless sigh and held his forehead.

Girls really did favor outsiders!

This old man still hasn't agreed to you being with this brat!

Yet you're already taking his side.

What will become of things in the future!

Oh! I only have this one granddaughter?

Then never mind!

"Teacher, according to my research, if we want a high chance of getting a soul bone drop,"

"We need to find Yanyan a spirit beast with the highest possible cultivation age and bloodline rank."

"Considering Yanyan's Martial Soul and soul skills, venomous snake, scorpion, and spider spirit beasts would be best."

"For example: Bloodwing Singing Snake, Nether Poison Hook Snake, Sky Demon Scorpion, Flying Purple Demon Scorpion, Man Faced Demon Spider, Soul Devouring Demon Spider, Shadow Demon Spider, and so on."

"These all have relatively high bloodline ranks. I believe they are more likely to drop soul bones and yield External Soul Bones."

As they walked through Sunset Forest, Ye Yu continued.

And within Sunset Forest,

At Ye Yu's suggestion, so that his granddaughter would no longer be troubled by Jade Phosphorous Poison in the future and could possess even greater potential,

Dugu Bo constantly searched for a suitable target spirit beast for Dugu Yan.

Although the target spirit beasts Ye Yu had selected all possessed relatively high bloodline ranks and were comparatively rare in spirit beast forests,

Dugu Yan had only just broken through to Rank 20 and was absorbing her second soul ring.

A hundred-year spirit beast would be sufficient.

So, Dugu Bo quickly found a six-hundred-year Sky Demon Scorpion.

It was evening.

This Sky Demon Scorpion was nearly two meters long, its entire body covered in hard, heavy black armor marked with dark red spots and patterns. It had four pairs of scorpion legs and a pair of enormous, savage pincers.

The fangs beside its mouth were sharp as blades. It looked domineering and ferocious, radiating an aura of danger.

It was lying beneath a massive boulder, its eyes tightly shut, as though it were resting and cooling off.

Ye Yu and Dugu Bo hid nearby.

And according to the plan,

Dugu Yan emerged, dressed in a tight purple short dress that accentuated her tall figure, a segmented whip gripped in her hand.

Each section of the whip was forged from spirit beast bones and metal, its edges as sharp as blades.

The cords connecting the sections were made from fibers of special Plant Spirit Beasts and threads from Insect Spirit Beasts. They were incomparably tough and highly elastic.

After stepping out,

Beneath Dugu Yan's short purple hair, her delicate yet valiant and alluring face tightened as she clenched her silver teeth. With a sharp cry, she summoned her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul to possess her.

"Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, possess!"

After summoning the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's possession,

Dugu Yan's legs turned into a green snake tail. Wriggling it, she charged forward with her segmented whip in hand.

She lashed it at the Sky Demon Scorpion.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound,

The sharp blade-like edges of the segmented whip left only a shallow mark on the Sky Demon Scorpion's armor.

It basically did no damage at all.

"Hiss!"

The awakened Sky Demon Scorpion opened its scarlet eyes. After releasing a sharp hiss,

It spread its enormous, savage pincers.

With a flick of its sharp tail hook, it sprayed a stream of venom at Dugu Yan like a bullet.

Dugu Yan hurriedly dodged.

But at that moment, the Sky Demon Scorpion was already rushing toward her on its four pairs of scorpion legs.

Its enormous, savage pincers snapped repeatedly, while its sharp tail hook thrust like a spear and occasionally sprayed venom, forcing Dugu Yan into a miserable state as she kept dodging.

Seeing Dugu Yan repeatedly come perilously close to disaster, Dugu Bo was frantic with worry.

But Ye Yu still held him back.

"Teacher, you have to believe in Yanyan!"

"The Jade Phosphorous Poison problem can only be solved by obtaining a soul bone, or even an External Soul Bone."

"Obtaining a soul bone isn't easy."

"With you here, Teacher, this is already very safe!"

And upon discovering how weak Dugu Yan was, contempt and mockery flashed through the Sky Demon Scorpion's scarlet eyes.

Such a weak human wants this great Sky Demon Scorpion King's soul ring.

What foolish overconfidence!

But once Dugu Yan felt that her act of appearing weak had gone on long enough,

After another clumsy roll, she finally took three pitch-black metal balls from her Storage Spirit Tool.

After pulling their fuses, she hurled them one after another at the Sky Demon Scorpion.

What are these things?

Looking at the three black metal balls that had landed before it, faint smoke rising from them, the Sky Demon Scorpion was somewhat puzzled and curious.

But the next moment, amid three successive deafening "Boom!" sounds,

The three black metal balls exploded violently, their immense force sending the Sky Demon Scorpion flying.

The hard armor it had been so proud of was blasted to pieces.

Sharp metal fragments pierced straight through its armor, deeply striking its heart, brain, and other vital areas.

Filled with utter bewilderment, intense resentment, and unwillingness,

The Sky Demon Scorpion was blasted straight to its death.

Despicable humans, using such underhanded tricks.

This king refuses to accept this!

At the final moment of its life, the Sky Demon Scorpion King roared in resentment and hatred within its heart.

That should do it, right?

When he saw the Sky Demon Scorpion sent flying by the three black powder grenades with added white sugar that Dugu Yan had thrown, its armor shattered all over and its scarlet eyes dimming,

Ye Yu could not help thinking to himself.

In his view, if one wanted to maximize the chances of getting a soul bone drop,

Choosing a spirit beast with a high bloodline rank was easy.

But making it die in extreme resentment and unwillingness,

That was much more difficult!

Having Dugu Bo act was definitely not an option.

It was perfectly normal for a spirit beast to die at the hands of a powerful human.

That definitely would not make the spirit beast resentful and unwilling enough.

In Ye Yu's opinion, the best method was to first have Dugu Yan attack the target spirit beast alone and pretend to be weak.

Make the target spirit beast grow smug and mock her, believing her to be overestimating herself.

Then, suddenly fight dirty and throw out the three grenades he had given her.

Blast the target spirit beast away.

Killed by a weak human using external tools,

The slain spirit beast would absolutely be filled with incomparable resentment and unwillingness!
