External Soul Bone, Crane Cloud Wings

What? Azure Phoenix Douluo asked in slight surprise. What tricks could a four-hundred-year soul skill possibly pull off? Therefore, he did not pay it enough attention. Wu Qi opened his arms, and Qing Luan Martial Soul flapped its wings with increasing frequency, the whipped-up gale growing steadily more violent. The feather blades that had previously shot outward were pulled back by this gale and coalesced together, transforming into a large cyan saber. Under Wu Qi's control, the great saber slashed toward a nearby clump of trees. With effortless ease, it severed more than a dozen large trees as thick as two men could embrace. Azure Phoenix Douluo raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. For a four-hundred-year soul skill to produce such a variation, it would undoubtedly catch an enemy off guard in combat. Yet this seemed to consume a tremendous amount of Soul Power; possessing only the cultivation of a Soul Grandmaster, Wu Qi had exhausted his strength after consecutively executing the soul skill twice. He leaned against a tree stump, gasping heavily for breath. It's still too forced. In future battles, unless it's a sure kill against an opponent, I can only use one of these forms, he thought to himself. Perhaps discerning his thoughts, Azure Phoenix Douluo walked to his side and lightly patted his shoulder. Your Soul Power Level is still too low. Once you break through to become a Soul Grandmaster in the future, or reach an even higher realm, executing low-level soul skills will conserve a massive amount of Soul Power. Originally, he had intended to leave the forest immediately. Now, however, Wu Qi's Soul Power was practically depleted, leaving him with no strength to walk. With no other choice, the two of them stayed a while longer in the forest. Following the meditation method taught by Azure Phoenix Douluo, Wu Qi sat cross-legged upon the tree stump, greedily absorbing the Soul Power. With the continuous replenishment of Soul Power, he felt a strange sensation arise in his back. This feeling was extremely subtle; his back felt somewhat itchy, yet when he reached out to scratch, he could never quite locate the exact spot of the itch. Before long, as the itching sensation vanished, something beneath his back seemed as though it was about to burst through his skin. Noticing the anomaly, Azure Phoenix Douluo made no move, simply watching this scene quietly. Suddenly, a pair of cyan wings pierced through the skin, appearing behind Wu Qi. The intense pain of the skin being sliced nearly caused him to lose consciousness. My guess was right; this is indeed the sign of an external soul bone manifesting, Azure Phoenix Douluo muttered to himself. He could not help but marvel at Wu Qi's good fortune. At the soul master level, he possessed a variant first soul skill, and on top of that, an external soul bone second only to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. One could say that Wu Qi's starting point had already surpassed all soul masters, and even left the vast majority of them staring helplessly at a starting point they could never hope to reach. With the external soul bone's appearance, information regarding the soul bone flooded into Wu Qi's mind. His gaze suddenly grew resolute. Though he lacked Twin Martial Souls, his starting point was already high enough. As a transmigrator, Tang San was undoubtedly the benchmark for measuring strength. Since he had already joined the Worship Hall, friction between himself and Tang San would be inevitable in the future. In the past, he might not have dared to boast of contending against Tang San, but now, he had the confidence to trample the future Tang San beneath his feet! Master, my external soul bone can enhance my control over the wind attribute, while also... Azure Phoenix Douluo nodded. Truly monstrous! The hour was late, and the two did not linger. Azure Phoenix Douluo flew on the wind, carrying Wu Qi toward the direction of Spirit City. ... Pope Hall. Upon learning of Ghost Douluo's mission failure, Bibi Dong felt no surprise, yet she remained intensely irritated. Such a fine sapling joining the ranks of Pope Hall would undoubtedly have become a principal member of the Golden Generation. Falling into the hands of the Worship Hall meant she would henceforth have to factor in his growth rate. Innate Full Soul Power... that was a height even Hu Liena had never reached. It was only a pity that she was still gradually seizing control of Spirit Hall's authority and could not rashly leave Pope Hall. Otherwise, how could she have easily handed him over to others? After scolding Ghost Douluo a few times over the matter, her mood improved slightly. However, she intended to see just what kind of heights Wu Qi would grow to under the tutelage of those old fogies in the Worship Hall. ... Mindful of Wu Qi's endurance, Azure Phoenix Douluo took ten whole days to bring him back to Spirit City. Having witnessed the prosperity of Heaven Dou City, Wu Qi did not display the demeanor of a bumpkin entering the city when faced with Spirit City, one of the three major cities of the Douluo Continent. In terms of commerce, Spirit Hall perhaps cannot compare to Star Luo City and Heaven Dou City. But this is the sacred land in the hearts of soul masters, and countless soul masters save up their entire lives' earnings just to come here and experience the atmosphere of the soul master holy land. Azure Phoenix Douluo explained patiently. Wu Qi would be living here for a long time to come, and letting him understand the city's atmosphere could alleviate his tense state of mind. Passing several compounds within the city, one could frequently catch glimpses of soul masters practicing their cultivation. Compared to other cities, the cultivation atmosphere here was exceptionally fine. Along the street-side tea houses and wine shops, there was far less commercial boasting, with many people discussing soul master cultivation insights. It was worth mentioning that Spirit City did not prohibit ordinary people from entering, nor did it charge any city entry fees. In the minds of all soul masters, the present Spirit Hall was sacred and inviolable. In the original timeline, Tang Hao smashing Pope Hall and going unpunished afterward had undoubtedly dragged Spirit Hall down from its pedestal. The events that transpired in the future were merely the process of decay for Spirit Hall's colossal corpse. Walking and stopping along the way, they finally arrived at the sacred Pope Hall. Glancing at it from afar, Azure Phoenix Douluo led Wu Qi toward another location. Douluo Hall and the Worship Hall stood adjacent to one another; by the rules, non-newly-promoted Title Douluo or sacrificial personnel were forbidden from entering Douluo Hall. Wu Qi was no exception. However, he was still granted an exception to bypass Douluo Hall via a small path in the rear, winding his way into the Worship Hall. At the center of the Worship Hall stood a golden statue of the Seraphim, imbued with divine nature. In the highest seat, Qian Daoliu rested his cheek against his right hand, resting his eyes to preserve his energy. With just a single glance, Wu Qi felt the aura of sacred majesty emanating from him. The continent's only Ultimate Douluo at present truly lived up to his reputation! Great Offering, Xiao Qi has been brought here. Azure Phoenix Douluo gave a slight bow toward the high seat. Immediately after, he brought Wu Qi to sit in the seat on the right beneath the high seat. The Douluo Continent revered the left, and that seat on the left belonged to Golden Crocodile Douluo. As Qian Daoliu spoke, the solemn atmosphere within the grand hall relaxed. It seems we have added a new member once more. Xiao Qi, you may simply address this old man as Grandpa Qian or Great Grandpa. Golden Crocodile Douluo patted his chest. Grandpa Jin'e. As the atmosphere eased, Guangling Douluo rose from his seat, walked up to Wu Qi, and lightly poked the latter's cheek with his finger. Call this old man Grandfather, and from now on I'll have your back. In his past life, when watching the animation, he had already known Guangling Douluo's temperament. Yet seeing it with his own eyes now, Wu Qi could not help feeling somewhat awkward. The fellow before him seemed even more childish than himself. Guangling, you need to rein in this temperament of yours. Azure Phoenix Douluo smiled helplessly. Given Guangling Douluo's age, he was more than qualified to be Wu Qi's grandfather. It was just that his appearance and behavior genuinely did not match the title of grandfather. Toward Wu Qi as a newcomer, the various offerings of the Worship Hall all displayed goodwill and care. After all, these old fellows gathered together every day and were truly bored; the arrival of a little fellow could help pass the time.
