Ah Yin Offers Her Soul Bone! A Heart-to-Heart with Tang San and Xiao Wu! (Requesting Follow-Up Reading! Request Monthly Ticket!)
Ah Yin was a kind Soul Beast.
Upon hearing Lu Duzhou's request, she immediately nodded again in assurance and pointed somewhere.
"There's a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone of mine over there. You've helped Xiao San so much and helped me regain my life. Please, you must accept this gift!"
Lu Duzhou pretended to be surprised.
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone? Could this be the soul bone that dropped after your sacrifice?"
"Such a treasure would be most suitable for Xiao San. Why are you giving it to me?"
Ah Yin shook her head.
"He is the new generation's Blue Silver Emperor. This soul bone is a part of me. If he wants to forge his own path, he cannot rely on me."
"Besides, he isn't here, and carrying a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone would be far too dangerous."
"The additional soul skill this soul bone grants is called, 'Wildfires cannot burn it all away; spring winds breathe life anew.' It is a life-type soul skill."
"Your Martial Soul can plant many Blue Silver Grass plants. With it, you can regenerate severed limbs and become nearly invincible."
"Accept it! I believe this soul bone will be of greater help to Xiao San in your hands!"
She really was far too innocent.
She had actually spoken her thoughts outright. No wonder Tang Hao had managed to sweet-talk her, even taking her to a human city for fun when her Pregnancy Aura was exposed.
Lu Duzhou put on a thoughtful expression before finally nodding.
"All right! But no one, including Xiao San, can know about this soul bone unless I permit it."
"Do you understand?"
Ah Yin nodded.
"I gave it to you, so it is your secret. I won't tell anyone."
"Moreover, I already promised not to communicate with anyone else without your permission. Naturally, I can't reveal the matter of the soul bone either."
With his concerns gone, Lu Duzhou immediately pressed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone against his right leg.
When his Soul Power connected with the soul bone and gradually assimilated part of its Soul Power structure, the soul bone melted into his body like a mass of water.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could allow a Level Eighty-Nine Soul Douluo to break through and become a Level Ninety Title Douluo, or raise a Title Douluo by one level.
Before absorbing this soul bone, Lu Duzhou's Soul Power was Level Thirty-Four. After absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, his Soul Power directly reached Level Forty!
He could now absorb his Fourth Soul Ring.
However, he had high standards for his Fourth Soul Ring. He needed some time to increase his Physical Body's strength, so there was no rush to obtain a Soul Ring.
The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone also slightly improved his Physical Body's strength, bringing it to the level of a Fifteen Thousand Year Soul Beast.
Evening, Notting City.
Lu Duzhou opened the door and entered. A figure on the second floor leaped straight down the stairs and threw herself into his arms.
"Ge! You're finally back!"
Xiao Wu pressed tightly against Lu Duzhou's chest, her voice filled with deep attachment.
Soul Beasts truly were too ruled by their emotions.
Lu Duzhou gently stroked Xiao Wu's pair of Big Ears and smiled.
"I promised I'd return within half a year. I wasn't late!"
At that moment, Tang San also emerged from his room.
For some reason, after seeing Lu Duzhou, he felt even closer to him.
It was as though they shared some sort of bloodline connection.
As if his Adoptive Father had become his Biological Father!
He even felt closer to him than he did to Tang Hao.
Tang San could not help sighing inwardly.
It would be great if Big Brother really were my dad.
When Tang San came out, Lu Duzhou had been closely watching the changes in his expression.
After all, Tang San's bloodline and the Blue Silver Emperor came from the same source. That sort of resonance was exceptionally clear and intense.
He had to determine whether Tang San could sense the existence of the soul bone.
For now, there did not seem to be anything unusual.
"Big Brother, you've worked hard on this trip out to sea. You should rest properly for a while and not go out again, right?"
Tang San's tone was very sincere, like the concern one showed an elder.
Upon hearing that, Xiao Wu also looked at Lu Duzhou expectantly.
She truly did not want to be separated from Lu Duzhou for even a second longer.
"We're leaving tomorrow."
The moment Lu Duzhou spoke those four words, Xiao Wu was so startled that her eyes widened and her Big Ears stood straight up.
"We're leaving together."
Lu Duzhou smiled.
"From now on, we'll move to Pano City and settle there. It's right at the edge of Sunset Forest, making it convenient to hunt Soul Rings. There are also Plant Academy teachers there whom we can consult about Martial Soul cultivation."
"Xiao San, your teacher, Dugu Bo Your Excellency, has also gone to Pano City. He's waiting for me to take you to meet him."
"He is a Title Douluo, so we cannot slight him. That is why we must set off tomorrow."
Hearing that they were all going together, both Xiao Wu and Tang San breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Wu puffed up her cheeks and lightly punched Lu Duzhou's shoulder.
"Ge! You're awful! Don't scare me like that!"
However, Lu Duzhou suddenly turned serious. He wrapped one arm around Xiao Wu, walked over to a chair, and sat down. At the same time, he beckoned Tang San over.
"Xiao San, come sit down. I have something important to discuss with both of you."
Tang San hurriedly sat down opposite Lu Duzhou. Xiao Wu, meanwhile, still clung to Lu Duzhou's embrace and refused to get up.
Lu Duzhou cleared his throat and began.
"At this point, the three of us siblings can be considered the closest people to one another. Each of us has some major secrets that concern our safety, so I think it is necessary to make them clear."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Wu, then at Tang San.
Both understood what he meant. After hesitating slightly, they nodded in agreement.
Only then did Lu Duzhou continue.
"All right, then I'll start with myself."
"My Martial Soul is not merely One Acre of Land. It is something akin to a domain."
"Plant Martial Souls can be planted inside it, as can Plant Soul Beasts."
"The Plant Martial Souls planted within can grant me a boost to my Cultivation Speed. Each type of Martial Soul can also grant me a new soul skill."
After pausing, he looked at Tang San.
"Xiao San, when your Blue Silver Grass Seed was planted On the land, I guessed that your Martial Soul was not ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but the legendary Blue Silver Emperor. From there, I inferred your origins."
"Afterward, when I returned home with you, although I did not meet your father, I confirmed my guess after hearing your father's name."
"Your mother was Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and Blue Silver Emperor, while your father was Tang Hao, the former Clear Sky Douluo."
"However, I have never mentioned my speculation about your origins to anyone else. That is because your mother was hunted to death by Qian Xunji, the Former Pope of Spirit Hall. In theory, both you and your father are wanted by Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Spirit Hall! Qian Xunji! For the vengeance of killing my mother, I will repay it tenfold!"
Lu Duzhou coughed lightly.
"Xiao San, Qian Xunji is already dead."
"I heard that back then, your father took your mother to a major city for sightseeing. Because a Soul Beast's Aura could not be concealed during pregnancy, she was recognized and pursued by Spirit Hall."
"Your mother sacrificed herself to your father, allowing him to become a Title Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Only then did he severely injure Qian Xunji and escape with you."
Tang San froze upon hearing this.
Two questions surfaced in his mind.
Qian Xunji was dead, so who was he supposed to take revenge on?
And since Tang Hao knew his mother's Aura would be exposed during pregnancy, and that she would certainly be extremely weak, why had he not taken her somewhere to recover and hide? Why had he instead taken her to a major human city for sightseeing!?
A seed of suspicion was quietly planted.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu, now it's your turn to come clean."
