After returning to the Papal Palace, Bibi Han continued cultivating.

Five days later, Bibi Han finally broke through to level 30. Excited, he ran to the Papal Palace to see his mother. At that moment, only Ghost Douluo was in the Papal Palace. Ju Douluo had presumably gone out on a mission.

After greeting them,

"Mother, I've broken through to level 30. Am I qualified to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring now?"

Mother flashed to his side and placed a hand directly on his head, seemingly examining his spiritual power.

"Mm, not bad. Your spiritual power can already rival that of an Intermediate Soul Ancestor, but it still isn't enough to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Ah, then won't I have to cultivate for a long time?" Bibi Han said regretfully. Spiritual power became increasingly difficult to cultivate the further one progressed. He was only at the Intermediate Soul Ancestor level now. To reach the Soul King level, wouldn't that take around another year?

"Don't worry. Mother has already thought of a way."

With a turn of her hand, a Head Soul Bone glowing with blue light appeared in Mother's palm.

"A Head Soul Bone!" Bibi Han's eyes widened in shock.

"This is the Wisdom Head Soul Bone of Spirit Condensation. Han'er, absorb it."

"Mother, this is too precious. I should keep cultivating diligently instead. Even without absorbing a Soul Ring, Soul Power will still accumulate, won't it?" Bibi Han hurriedly declined.

A Head Soul Bone was the second most precious of the Six Divine Equipment. It would be a lie to say he did not want it, but Bibi Han understood its value all too well. In terms of rarity, it could completely rival the Clear Sky Sect's Inherited Spirit Bone. In the original story, even the Golden Generation only had a chance to obtain Spirit Bones during the Soul Master Tournament, while Bibi Han was only seven years and a few months old.

"Even the finest thing will gather dust if it isn't put to good use. Your talent is worth it. And while cultivating without obtaining a Soul Ring can indeed accumulate Soul Power, a Soul Grandmaster's cultivation speed is nowhere near that of a Soul Elder. The golden years for cultivation only last a few years. Absorb it, Han'er. Don't worry."

"Alright. Thank you, Mother."

After receiving the Head Soul Bone from Mother, Bibi Han sat down cross-legged and began absorbing it with both hands cupped around it. Within the blue glow, the first thing he felt was a trace of icy Soul Power flowing into his mind. It was an energy fluctuation that made him feel extremely comfortable.

Amid that fluctuation, Bibi Han felt his spiritual power continuously growing and spreading outward in all directions in a circular pattern.

"Condense your spiritual power. Do not release it, lest it lose control."

Mother's stern voice entered Bibi Han's ears. Her voice was not loud, yet it carried a powerful spiritual shockwave that forcibly drove the spiritual power he had released back into his body.

Hearing Mother's voice, Bibi Han immediately became alert and hurriedly reined in his spiritual power, condensing it within his mind. At that moment, he felt as though some change had occurred in his eyes.

Once the absorption was complete, Bibi Han opened his eyes. They had turned aqua blue, as though ripples were flowing within them. Anyone who saw his eyes would unconsciously be drawn in.

"Han'er, how is it?"

Just as he was about to answer Mother, Bibi Han looked at her and his eyes suddenly widened. He saw seven flashes of light on her body: at her head, chest, both arms, both calves, and back.

"What is it?" Mother asked, finding Bibi Han's gaze somewhat strange.

"Mother, may I ask something? Do you have seven Spirit Bones, with the last one on your back?"

"How did you know?" Bibi Dong was extremely shocked. Very few people in all of Spirit Hall knew that she possessed the External Spirit Bone, the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings.

Bibi Han did not answer. Instead, he asked again, "Grandpa Ghost, do you have a Right Leg Bone?"

This time, Ghost Douluo was stunned. Only a handful of people in Spirit Hall knew that he possessed a Spirit Bone as well.

Mother realized what was happening. "Han'er, can you now tell who possesses Spirit Bones?"

"I saw light on those parts of your bodies, so I asked."

"How strange. Absorbing a Spirit Bone should not grant this kind of ability," Bibi Dong muttered.

"Mother, perhaps it is because I nourished my eyes with Soul Power."

There was no need to hide anything from Mother aside from a few necessary matters.

"It can be done like that?!" Ghost Douluo said.

"Yes. I didn't have this ability at first; my eyesight merely improved. Perhaps the Head Soul Bone allowed me to fully obtain this ability."

"Not bad. An unexpected delight!"

"Han'er, check the soul skill you acquired. Elder Ghost."

"At your command, Your Majesty the Pope."

"Grandpa Ghost, be careful."

Bibi Han's eyes widened. "Purple Light of Destruction." (Thanks to Book Friend for the suggestion.)

A blue laser shot from Bibi Han's eyes. The impact was so great that it forced him back several steps.

Ghostly took the attack head-on and said in astonishment, "A Soul King-level spiritual impact, along with a Soul Grandmaster's Soul Power attack... this!"

"I can inject Soul Power into my eyes and use it like my hands and feet, turning it into rays. I can use Spiritual Ray three times a day, but as for Soul Power Ray, I can use it as long as I have Soul Power."

Listening to Bibi Han's words, Bibi Dong became even happier. The pioneer of eye-ray abilities was her own child.

"Alright, Elder Ghost. Little Han's spiritual power has reached the Intermediate Soul King level. Take him to obtain a Soul Ring."

"Han'er, after you absorb the Soul Ring, you will go to the City of Metal."

"The City of Metal?"

"That's right. Your hammer swings are too crude. Go there, learn every technique for exerting force with a hammer, then come back."

Blacksmiths had existed far longer than the Clear Sky Sect, so when it came to technique, they were absolutely no worse than the Clear Sky Sect Heir.

"Oh~." So Mother had been by my side when I flew into the air and threw my hammer, making sure I didn't encounter any danger. But my hammer technique is bad? How did I not know? I thought it was pretty good.

"Little Han, let's go."

"Alright."

"Goodbye, Mother. I'll return after mastering it."

After Bibi Han finished saying goodbye, Ghostly directly grabbed him and transformed into a black shadow. As the number one Agile Attack System Title Douluo in the world, Ghostly's speed was naturally extraordinary. They arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest in half a day.

Along the way, Bibi Han pondered the name of his eyes. He could only see Spirit Bones when he injected Soul Power into them, so he would call them the "Eye of Truth."

Bibi Han once again relied on Blue Silver Grass and discovered a 13,000-year-old Holy Light Unicorn.

He sat cross-legged and began absorbing it.

Although he had already experienced this twice before, Ghostly still did not dare lower his guard in the slightest. His eyes remained fixed ahead, his spiritual power spread outward to prevent other Soul Masters or soul beasts from approaching.
