Ye Hao's shirt had been torn apart, exposing his well-defined muscles. His eight-pack abs were sharply sculpted, making Dugu Yan immediately turn her head away. Her face flushed red as she shot Ye Hao a glare. What was he going crazy for in broad daylight?

The woman standing behind Teacher Qin was Ye Lingling of the Imperial Dou Team. She possessed the continent's only Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. At that moment, she regarded him coldly; this was simply her unique personality.

She possessed the tranquility of a flower and usually said fewer than one or two sentences a day. Sometimes, she did not say a word at all. Ye Hao would occasionally tease her a little, but to Ye Lingling, he was merely a mischievous little brother with exceptional talent, not someone she would bother responding to.

She was already in her teens and saw some things quite clearly.

Behind Ye Hao, six translucent purple wings silently appeared, six pairs of wings growing from his back.

This sight gave everyone present quite a fright.

Then, before everyone's eyes, Ye Hao leaped into the air. Propelled by the six wings behind him, his speed reached a terrifying level, so fast it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Ye Hao clearly felt the changes in his body. Turning his head, he looked at the six purple wings that had suddenly appeared behind him. They were as thin as paper, and the ability they granted him was flight.

That wasn't right. His Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul did not seem to possess the ability to fly, and these six purple wings had only appeared after he absorbed his Third Soul Ring. At present, there was only one explanation...

"Could it be... an External Soul Bone?"

Soul bones were extraordinarily special things. Or rather, they were the items Soul Masters dreamed of obtaining most. Like soul rings, soul bones also came from soul beasts.

However, they differed greatly from soul rings. The chance of a soul bone appearing was only one in a thousand, perhaps even lower. Generally speaking, only soul beasts of exceptional strength that experienced special circumstances at death—such as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts—might leave behind a soul bone after dying.

For ordinary soul beasts, the probability of dropping a soul bone was far too low.

As for External Soul Bones, they were undoubtedly treasures second only to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings in the world of Soul Masters.

Ye Hao was ecstatic. Like Soul Masters themselves, External Soul Bones could evolve alongside their owner's growth. His set had come from a thousand-year Purple Winged Demonic Spider, and the External Soul Bone it produced granted flight.

Without a doubt, Ye Hao was already soaring freely through the sky. His flight speed was so fast that Yu Feng, an agility-attack-type Soul Master whose Martial Soul was the Wind Spirit Bird, could not help clicking his tongue in amazement. This speed was even faster than his own flight.

"An External Soul Bone produced by a Purple Winged Demonic Spider... could it be..."

Ye Hao remembered correctly. The current Pope of Martial Soul Hall also possessed an External Soul Bone. Like Ye Hao's, it granted the ability to fly.

"Six-Winged Purple Light Wings?"

"No way..."

Although the system had brought him to this world five years ago and Ye Hao had chosen to simulate Bibi Dong's Twin Martial Souls, causing his appearance to change drastically, how could even his External Soul Bone be the same?

Bibi Dong's Six-Winged Purple Light Wings came from a Purple-Winged Spider Emperor, while Ye Hao's Six-Winged Purple Light Wings came from a Purple Winged Demonic Spider. There was no real distinction between the two; they were simply different types of soul beasts with vastly different cultivation years.

In the end, it was the same principle. Their External Soul Bones were practically identical.

Ye Hao glanced at the people below, who were looking up at him from the ground, and suddenly noticed a cool breeze against his chest. Oh no, he was exposed. He was exposed.

In a panic, Ye Hao rapidly descended. After landing safely, he used his soul power to retract the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings, took out some clothes from his Soul Tool, and went behind a tree to get dressed. Then, after glancing at everyone, he emerged awkwardly. Ye Hao was really thin-skinned...

Ye Hao scratched his head awkwardly and looked at Qin Ming with a smile. "Sorry, Teacher Qin. I made you worry."

Qin Ming smiled and shook his head. "It's fine. I only arrived a short while ago. When I saw that there had been no movement from you all this time, I couldn't help coming in to take a look. You successfully absorbed the Purple Winged Demonic Spider's soul ring?"

Ye Hao nodded. "I successfully absorbed the Purple Winged Demonic Spider's soul ring, and my Soul Power Level has risen to thirty-two. Moreover, my Third Soul Skill is a highly powerful offensive skill. It will be more than enough for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament two years from now."

What a joke. In the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament two years later, Shrek had been the eventual champions, defeating the Martial Soul Hall Team led by the then-unstoppable Hu Liena.

Now that Ye Hao had joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they wanted the championship? They could wait until their next lives.

His immediate priority was to raise his Soul Power Level as quickly as possible. There was something in Sunset Forest that Ye Hao was determined to obtain. Fortunately, Old Poison's Granddaughter was his teammate.

Although Ye Hao's tongue was usually rather sharp and he would occasionally mock Dugu Yan, she could not defeat him. The two had sparred a month ago.

In the end, Death Spider Emperor Poison had won flawlessly, while Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison had lost.

As a result, Qin Ming immediately placed a restriction on Ye Hao: from then on, unless it was a critical moment, Ye Hao was not allowed to use Death Spider Emperor Poison. There was no other reason—Death Spider Emperor Poison was simply too fierce.

Look, the Purple Winged Demonic Spider that had already melted into a puddle of bloody liquid at the bottom of the pit was an example.

Purple Winged Demonic Spider: (°°)

Over the three months they had spent together, Dugu Yan had come to understand Ye Hao's background deeply. He had been lonely and helpless since childhood, nearly killed by Wolf Bandits when he was young, and had eventually fled to the Branch Martial Soul Hall in Nuoding City. There, he awakened the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul and possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

Now, at eleven years old, his soul power had reached level thirty-two. It was easy to imagine just how hard Ye Hao had worked over the years. His life was practically the script of an underdog's rise to greatness.

Even the academy's Three Education Commissioners thought highly of Ye Hao, let alone Dugu Yan, Qin Ming, and the others from the Imperial Dou Team.

Ye Hao was the youngest among them. The other seven were basically around seventeen or eighteen years old—an eleven-year-old little brother among seventeen- and eighteen-year-old older brothers and sisters.

In their eyes, Ye Hao was merely a little brother. Aside from being somewhat mischievous in daily life, occasionally pranking Dugu Yan, and teasing Ye Lingling, there was practically nothing Ye Hao would not dare to do.

Ye Hao had even beaten up Xue Beng. To this day, whenever Xue Beng saw Ye Hao, he would obediently take a detour.

If others did not offend him, he would not offend them.

But if others offended him, he would strike back with thunderous force.

Ye Hao's talent had already surpassed everyone's imagination.

Therefore, Dugu Yan only regarded Ye Hao as a younger brother. She had even suggested that Ye Hao take her Grandpa as his master.

Who was her Grandpa?

Old Poison, Dugu Bo—the renowned Poison Douluo.

Ye Hao had not agreed immediately, saying that he needed to think it over carefully. Although Poison Douluo was formidable with poison, his actual strength was not all that impressive.
