Even though he wasn't the one involved, even Yu Xiaogang felt excited and happy when he heard what had happened to Tang San.
And Tang San himself was even more excited.
After all, he was the one involved.
So at that moment, Tang San felt even more excitement than Yu Xiaogang.
Still standing where he was, Tang San wore a smug smile.
To be honest,
Yu Xiaogang had always been troubled by his failure to recruit Liu Yuan that day. Was Tang San any different?
He hadn't wanted to bring Liu Yuan into his fold like Yu Xiaogang, but he had always been envious and jealous of Liu Yuan's talent.
After all, Tang San was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius on the Douluo Continent.
But his talent amounted to no more than Innate Soul Power at level ten.
Liu Yuan, on the other hand, had Innate Soul Power at level thirty!
That terrifying level of Soul Power had always made Tang San envious. Whenever he compared himself to Liu Yuan, he'd even felt a little inferior.
But not anymore.
So what if Liu Yuan had Innate Soul Power at level thirty?
Did he have an External Soul Bone?
Was he even still alive?
At the thought, Tang San almost burst out laughing.
There was no doubt that Liu Yuan had been exceptionally talented.
But his own stupidity had cost him his life and wasted his talent.
Tang San, however, was different.
A person with both talent and good fortune was destined for greatness.
As he thought this, a scornful smile crept onto Tang San's lips. Thinking again of Liu Yuan, the man with Innate Soul Power at level thirty, Tang San no longer felt envious. He felt nothing but contempt.
Time flew by.
Over the following days, the lives of Tang San and the others at Shrek Academy continued along the same course as before.
They gradually forgot about Liu Yuan. After all, he was just an insignificant dead man they had killed.
Even if he had been exceptionally talented, the dead were still dead. He wasn't worth sparing any more thought over.
And so Tang San's strength continued to grow.
Seeing how quickly Tang San was growing stronger, both Yu Xiaogang and Tang San felt genuinely pleased with themselves.
The future Douluo Continent would undoubtedly belong to them!
Meanwhile,
at the Land of Inheritance of the God of Death, the surroundings remained bleak and shrouded in darkness.
But Liu Yuan didn't mind at all. He paid no attention to his surroundings and never stopped undertaking the trials of the inheritance.
Ever since he had successfully completed two trials of the God of Death that day, greatly increasing his strength and earning three incredibly powerful Soul Rings—one hundred thousand years old, one two hundred thousand years old, and one three hundred thousand years old—
Liu Yuan had devoted himself even more seriously to the inheritance.
He worked tirelessly, making time to train whenever he could. After all, all of his current abilities had come from the inheritance, and his body still wasn't used to this power. He believed he needed to spend a great deal of time adapting to it.
Clearly, all that effort had paid off. No matter how one looked at it, getting his body accustomed to this power could only benefit Liu Yuan. Not only had he become stronger, he was also able to progress through the inheritance more quickly.
Now, he had finally completed the next trial!
As Liu Yuan completed this latest trial, the power within him surged once more.
And this time, he received quite a few rewards.
Not only had his Soul Power cultivation increased by ten levels, bringing him to level forty and making him a Soul Ancestor,
he had also received a new fourth Soul Ring. It was a four-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!
But Liu Yuan had grown much more accustomed to this sort of thing. After gaining several Soul Rings that were hundreds of thousands of years old, he had seen his fair share of astonishing things. So even though his fourth Soul Ring was four hundred thousand years old, he didn't gape in shock like he would have before.
He accepted the fact calmly.
But that wasn't the end of his rewards.
After calmly accepting that his fourth Soul Ring was four hundred thousand years old,
Liu Yuan soon felt an unbearable itch in three places on his body.
The first was his back.
The second was his face.
The third was his chest.
At that moment, it felt as if countless ants were crawling all over those three spots. Even he could barely endure the strange sensation.
Unable to bear it, he turned to the God of Death beside him.
"Lord God of Death, what's happening to me...?"
The God of Death merely smiled. "Endure it. There's a surprise waiting for you."
Liu Yuan could only obediently bear it.
He stood still and patiently waited for a long time.
At last, the itching in those three places grew fainter and fainter, until it disappeared completely.
The surprise the God of Death had promised finally appeared, and Liu Yuan stared at it in astonishment.
"This is..."
"External Soul Bones!"
Liu Yuan finally understood what the God of Death had meant by an unexpected surprise!
He had been talking about External Soul Bones!
After Liu Yuan endured the itching, the sensation in those three spots finally vanished. Then three External Soul Bones rapidly grew out of them.
The first to emerge was from Liu Yuan's back.
In that instant,
Liu Yuan heard a sharp crack from behind him.
Then a pair of enormous white Bone Wings appeared behind him in the blink of an eye.
Liu Yuan immediately examined them. The Bone Wings were translucent and looked incredibly sturdy.
The most remarkable thing was that, despite not having a single feather, the wings could carry Liu Yuan through the air. They let him fly incredibly fast and maneuver with remarkable agility, greatly improving his flexibility!
But that was only the beginning.
Soon, Liu Yuan's second External Soul Bone appeared.
It was a chestplate.
When the chestplate appeared, Liu Yuan looked imposing and majestic.
It was also surprisingly light. Though it looked large and covered his chest completely, it felt like a part of his own body and didn't hinder him at all.
He even tested how sturdy the chestplate was.
According to his test, the chestplate was so hard that only a full-force attack from him could shatter it. And even after being shattered, it quickly reassembled. Its incredible ability to heal was simply monstrous!
