A Fortuitous Encounter: The External Soul Bone, Wind and Thunder Wings

Hearing Yun Yuan describe the effects of his First Soul Skill, Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction and sighed repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad." The effects of this Soul Skill had exceeded his expectations. It possessed the power of rushing wind and explosive thunder, and its might was already no weaker than those of assault-type Soul Skills. On top of that, it also provided an attribute boost. The increase to spear speed and his own speed could greatly enhance Yun Yuan's strength. Absorbing a six-hundred-year Soul Ring beyond its Year Limit had indeed yielded extraordinary results. This Soul Skill combined the effects of both assault-type and enhancement-type Soul Skills, making it extremely impressive. And just then. Bibi Dong suddenly came to Qian Xunji's side and tugged at his sleeve. "Teacher, I think I saw that dragon's wings glowing. What's going on?" While Qian Xunji and Yun Yuan had been talking, she had looked around out of boredom and was surprised to discover that the dead Lei Yi Flying Dragon was glowing. This instantly aroused her curiosity. After hearing Bibi Dong's words, a glint flashed through Qian Xunji's eyes. He then walked over to the dead Lei Yi Flying Dragon. With a flip of his hand, he produced a sharp Long Dagger, his gaze settling on the Lei Yi Flying Dragon's wings. He then began cutting open the flesh and hide of the Lei Yi Flying Dragon's wings. In the end, a purple-blue Soul Bone was revealed. "Hm? This Soul Bone is actually... an External Soul Bone?!" Qian Xunji had initially thought it was an ordinary six-hundred-year Soul Bone, but he had never expected it to be a six-hundred-year External Soul Bone. The value of an External Soul Bone was second only to that of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. In some respects, it was even no inferior to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. That was because it could grow, developing alongside a Soul Master. If nurtured properly, it could even evolve into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. However, nurturing one required an enormous amount of resources, and it placed great demands on the cultivation progress of its owner. "An External Soul Bone?!" Hearing Qian Xunji's exclamation, Yun Yuan turned his gaze toward the External Soul Bone on the Lei Yi Flying Dragon, his eyes filled with longing. An External Soul Bone was an extremely precious Soul Bone. In his eyes, even a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could not compare to it. That was because Yun Yuan was confident he could nurture it into a Soul Bone even more powerful than a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. But soon, the longing in Yun Yuan's eyes faded. The ownership of this Soul Bone would still depend on how his Teacher chose to distribute it. But contrary to Yun Yuan's expectations, the instant Qian Xunji obtained the Lei Yi Flying Dragon's Soul Bone, his eyes filled with excitement. Then, with a wave of his hand, he passed it directly to Yun Yuan. "Xiao Yuan, this Soul Bone couldn't suit you better. Hurry up and absorb it." Faced with this External Soul Bone, Qian Xunji did not hesitate in the slightest before giving it to his exceptionally talented Disciple. With Yun Yuan's talent, he would surely be able to display the full splendor of this External Soul Bone in the future. Not only that, Yun Yuan was also the next Pope whom he had already chosen in his heart. More importantly, one's cultivation could not be too strong when absorbing an External Soul Bone; otherwise, its value would be greatly reduced. Hearing this, Yun Yuan did not refuse. Instead, he directly accepted the External Soul Bone and then thanked Qian Xunji gratefully: "Teacher, thank you." "I won't disappoint you. In the future, I'll definitely lead our Spirit Hall to greater heights." The confidence in Yun Yuan's eyes was practically overflowing. After absorbing his first Soul Ring and doubling his talent, Yun Yuan felt that his future achievements would certainly not be limited to the realm of Soul Masters. He was confident that he could also set foot in the realm of Deities. "You're my Disciple. If I'm not good to you, who else would I be good to?" Qian Xunji stroked Yun Yuan's head and spoke with a loving expression. Next, Yun Yuan sat cross-legged, pressed the External Soul Bone in his hand against his back, and began refining it by circulating his Soul Power. As time passed, the External Soul Bone was gradually absorbed by him, and a pair of wings slowly unfolded behind Yun Yuan. After a long while, Yun Yuan opened his eyes and carefully sensed his Soul Power Level. "Hm, Level fourteen. Not bad." After absorbing the External Soul Bone, Yun Yuan's Soul Power Level rose by one level, from thirteen to fourteen. He was only six levels away from obtaining another Soul Ring. At this moment, although Yun Yuan had absorbed the External Soul Bone, he could not control it well. The pair of wings behind him kept flapping from time to time, causing his body to pitch about constantly and nearly carrying him into the sky. Seeing this comical scene, Bibi Dong could not help laughing. "Junior Brother, what are you doing?" Hearing this, Yun Yuan was still pitching about and had not yet had time to explain when Qian Xunji spoke first: "Dong'er, your Junior Brother can't properly control the pair of wings behind him yet, so his body is moving against his will." "Watch Teacher take action later and help him completely fuse with the External Soul Bone on his back. He won't be like this afterward." As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Xunji took action and restrained Yun Yuan, preventing the pair of wings from carrying him directly into the air. Then, Qian Xunji released the Soul Power pressure within his body and slowly pressed it toward Yun Yuan. Only under immense pressure could Yun Yuan perfectly fuse with the External Soul Bone. Once that happened, no one else would be able to take the External Soul Bone from his back. External Soul Bones were different from ordinary Soul Bones. Ordinary Soul Bones, whether ten-thousand-year or hundred-thousand-year, could still be seized even after being absorbed by a Soul Master. But External Soul Bones were different. Once perfectly fused with a Soul Master, they could no longer be taken. Feeling the terrifying Soul Power pressure emanating from Qian Xunji, Yun Yuan gritted his teeth and continued to endure. As the Soul Power pressure kept increasing, Yun Yuan's Martial Soul, the Atlas Spear, was forced out. But it was not over yet—the Soul Power pressure from Qian Xunji continued to grow. At last, under the immense pressure, Yun Yuan completely fused with the External Soul Bone on his back. "It finally worked." After completely mastering the External Soul Bone, Yun Yuan wielded the wings on his back as naturally as his own limbs and flew straight into the sky, enjoying the sensation of soaring through the heavens. After playing around for quite a while, Yun Yuan finally landed in front of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong and withdrew the wings from his back. "So, what skill did this External Soul Bone give you?" Looking at Yun Yuan before him, Qian Xunji asked impatiently. Hearing this, the corners of Yun Yuan's mouth lifted slightly, and an excited smile appeared on his face as he explained everything to his Teacher, Qian Xunji: "Teacher, I've named this Soul Bone the Wind and Thunder Wings, and the skill it granted me is called 'Wind and Thunder Instant Body.' As the name suggests, it allows me to teleport through space." "Moreover, as my cultivation increases, the distance it can teleport me will grow farther and farther. It can be considered a spatial-type Soul Skill." "For me, there's no skill more perfect than Wind and Thunder Instant Body. With Wind and Thunder Instant Body combined with my Atlas Spear..." "How should I put it? It's incredibly sneaky."
