External Soul Bone: Ice and Fire Dragon King Armor

Upon hearing the words "External Soul Bone," Huo Yuhao and Leng Yaozhu's expressions changed almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with undisguised surprise.

With the number of Soul Beast decreasing year by year, naturally occurring Soul Bone are becoming increasingly rare, External Soul Bone are even rarer.

Ordinary Soul Bone might occasionally appear at large auctions, but External Soul Bone are treasures that even Limit Douluo like Leng Yaozhu has rarely seen.

The value of an External Soul Bone is beyond monetary measure; it is a strategic resource that would make major sects willing to tear each other apart to fight for it.

Seeing the undisguised shock on their faces, Gu Yue showed no sign of pride. She simply continued calmly, "This External Soul Bone is called the Ice and Fire Dragon King Armor. After fusion, it can form a full-body set of dragon scale armor, which cannot be damaged by attacks from anyone below the Titled Douluo."

Even those below the Titled Douluo level cannot break through its defenses!

Huo Yuhao and Leng Yaozhu's eyes widened even more. This effect was simply too powerful, almost ridiculously so. It meant that as long as they fused with this Soul Bone, they would be virtually invincible against anyone below the Titled Douluo.

Even against opponents at the Titled Douluo level, this dragon scale armor will undoubtedly provide a very considerable defensive boost.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze lingered on the scales for a long time before she looked up at Gu Yue and asked in a deep voice, "Did you get this from beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Gu Yue nodded; that was indeed the case.

However, this External Soul Bone was not a product naturally formed by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but rather she forcibly fused and refined the remaining dragon bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings using the Dragon God's Power.

However, Huo Yuhao looked at the scale in Gu Yue's hand and ultimately shook his head.

"I can't accept this," he said, his voice low but unusually firm, "It's too precious."

As he looked at the scale in Gu Yue's palm, which shimmered with red and blue light, the scene of him condensing his First Soul Core involuntarily surfaced in his mind. At that time, Gu Yue gave him a True Dragon Reverse Scale as a protective item.

At that time, he thought that he must give Gu Yue an equally precious gift in return in the future.

But then one thing after another happened, and he completely forgot about it.

Now that Gu Yue has brought out this priceless External Soul Bone, he really has nothing to offer in return.

Huo Yuhao raised his eyes, looking at Gu Yue with sincere and solemn eyes, and said, "You should fuse with this External Soul Bone yourself. Your martial soul is also Dragon Clan, so this Soul Bone is more compatible with you."

He was telling the truth; the Dragon Clan Soul Bone and the Dragon Clan Martial Soul are clearly a better match.

Both emotionally and rationally, he felt that Gu Yue deserved it more than he did.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's earnest refusal, Gu Yue was not angry at all; instead, she smiled gently.

Her voice was calm as she said, "This External Soul Bone was originally prepared for you. I have already gained even greater benefits below the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Huo Yuhao still shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't believe Gu Yue, but in his opinion, who would complain about having too many benefits?

Even for Gu Yue, if he were to fuse with another External Soul Bone of the Dragon King level, his strength would undoubtedly increase to a higher level.

So he insisted, "That doesn't prevent you from fusing with this External Soul Bone."

Gu Yue looked at him, her tone tinged with helplessness, and could only say, "You know my family's situation; I don't lack Soul Bone."

In Huo Yuhao's understanding, Gu Yue had a very deep connection with the Ferocious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest. Any one of those Ferocious Beast, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, would bring out a treasure that was definitely not bad.

From this perspective, she might not really lack this piece of Soul Bone.

Even so, Huo Yuhao's mind remained unchanged.

He opened his mouth to continue declining, but Leng Yaozhu, who had been silently observing from the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Alright, you two, stop refusing."

Leng Yaozhu's tone carried a certain elder's authority, yet it was also gentle.

She turned to look at Huo Yuhao and said earnestly, "Yuhao, since this is Gu Yue's intention, then you should keep this External Soul Bone. There's no need for such formalities between you two."

Since the teacher had said so, Huo Yuhao wasn't one to be coy.

He glanced at Leng Yaozhu, then at Gu Yue's calmly gazing purple eyes, and finally gave up and nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Gu Yue smiled slightly, stepped forward, and gently placed the red and blue intertwined scale in her palm into Huo Yuhao's hand.

Two completely different sensations, warmth and coolness, came from his palm at the same time. Huo Yuhao looked down at the External Soul Bone in his palm.

At this moment, what surged in his heart was not the joy of obtaining a priceless treasure, but rather the thought of what kind of gift he should prepare for Gu Yue.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

On this trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Gu Yue and Na'er voluntarily gave up the opportunity to obtain the Immortal Herb.

He probably won't have a second chance to enter the Tang Sect's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from ten thousand years ago seems to have been "unclaimed"!

He secretly made up his mind that when he was strong enough in the future, he would go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from ten thousand years ago and get a Ferocious Beast- level immortal Immortal Herb as Spirit Soul for Gu Yue.

As long as he can transform the Ferocious Beast's Spirit Soul and store it in his Spirit Sea, he can take it across ten thousand years of time and space and return ten thousand years later to give it to Gu Yue.

Having figured all this out, Huo Yuhao's lingering sense of guilt lessened somewhat, and he felt much more at ease holding the scales in his palm.

He didn't say anything more polite, but simply turned his gaze back to Gu Yue and said earnestly, "Let me prepare something, and I'll bring you a gift later too."

Gu Yue smiled, a bright and cheerful smile that relaxed the corners of her eyes and brows.

Her purple eyes reflected the warm afternoon sunlight, and also Huo Yuhao's earnest face. "Okay, I'll be waiting."

Watching this scene, Leng Yaozhu, who was standing to the side, also had a faint smile on her lips.

She didn't say much, but simply clapped her hands lightly to draw their attention back. "Alright, now that Yuhao has completed his breakthrough, let's go back to the Spirit Pagoda."

As the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, she had disappeared for five whole days to protect Huo Yuhao.

If he doesn't show up soon, some people might start to suspect something.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue nodded and followed Leng Yaozhu out of the Small Courtyard, walking along the quiet path on the edge of Shrek City towards the city center.

On the way Leng Yaozhu slightly turned her head and lowered her voice to instruct, "Yuhao, try to conceal your cultivation level first."

"Soul Saint at fourteen years old... that's truly astonishing."

"Being too talented can bring danger."

"Um."

Huo Yuhao responded, "The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind"—he understood this principle better than anyone.

Even though he now possesses strength comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo, he harbors no pride or complacency whatsoever.

Because he always knew that his real enemy was never any particular power or strongman on this continent.

His enemies are in the Divine Realm.
