For Example... Kill Yu Xiaogang!

It is worth mentioning that Liu Yuan's offensive capabilities were also very strong at this moment.

Although he was currently only a four-ring Spirit Ancestor, due to the bonuses from his spirit rings, spirit, and various other factors, his offensive power actually surpassed that of some ordinary Spirit Emperors.

Under these circumstances, Liu Yuan's breastplate could still withstand all of his attacks that were not delivered with his full strength.

Therefore, it could be roughly calculated that this breastplate was essentially capable of helping Liu Yuan negate all attacks from enemies below the level of a Spirit Emperor.

Moreover, this breastplate would become even sturdier as Liu Yuan's strength continued to improve.

In the future, once Liu Yuan's strength truly grew, the attacks the breastplate could withstand would not just be limited to those below a Spirit Emperor; it might even be able to handle those from Spirit Emperors, Spirit Sages, or even Spirit Douluos and Title Douluos!

The defensive capability provided by a single breastplate was already terrifyingly high, not to mention that the breastplate itself possessed super-strong self-healing abilities, while Liu Yuan himself also possessed the high movement speed granted by his Bone Wings and the spirit skill "Undying."

This further enhanced Liu Yuan's survivability.

Just imagine, in the future, when Liu Yuan truly emerged from seclusion and encountered Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others again, it was very likely that a scene would occur where he could just stand there and let them attack him for days without suffering the slightest injury.

At the thought of this, Liu Yuan could not help but feel a surge of excitement.

He really wanted to see the expressions on the faces of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang at that time.

Surely, that would be very interesting, wouldn't it?

However, it was also at this moment that the third External Spirit Bone rewarded by the God of Death appeared.

In that instant, white particles emerged on Liu Yuan's face. These white particles grew larger and gathered in front of him, eventually transforming completely into a white Ghost Mask.

The moment the mask took shape, it automatically adhered to Liu Yuan's face, merging with him as one.

With the completion of this step, Liu Yuan discovered that the speed of his mental processing had become incredibly fast; his thinking was at least three to four times faster than usual.

Furthermore, his vision and sense of smell had also been enhanced; things he previously could not see or smell due to the distance were now perfectly visible and detectable. This also greatly improved his combat capabilities.

After all, in battle, insight, sense of smell, and mental processing speed were equally important.

And at this moment, the abilities granted to him by this Ghost Mask spirit bone were exactly these.

Liu Yuan adapted to the situation on the spot for a long while.

Once he had fully grasped the abilities of these three External Spirit Bones, even he could not help but feel a deep, burning intensity in his eyes.

He was naturally aware of the rarity of these External Spirit Bones.

To a certain extent, these External Spirit Bones were even rarer and more powerful than 100,000-year spirit bones.

After all, a 100,000-year spirit bone was guaranteed to drop as long as one killed a 100,000-year spirit beast.

As long as one had the strength, killing a 100,000-year spirit beast would definitely yield a 100,000-year spirit bone; it was just a matter of whether one had the capability.

But things like External Spirit Bones relied entirely on luck.

Without sufficient luck, it was useless even if one killed a hundred or a thousand spirit beasts.

And what made it most troublesome was that this item could only be inherited when absorbing a spirit ring.

And how many opportunities did a normal spirit master have to absorb spirit rings?

Nine times for a single spirit, and even with twin spirits, it was only eighteen times.

Therefore, there were very few people on the Douluo Dalu who possessed External Spirit Bones, and someone like Tang San could indeed be called a child of destiny.

Liu Yuan had originally not dared to dream of obtaining an External Spirit Bone; after all, such things were far too rare. He had originally thought that just scraping by with a few spirit bones from hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts would be enough.

He never expected that he would actually obtain an External Spirit Bone!

And not just one, but three all at once!

This made it hard for Liu Yuan not to feel excited.

Thinking again of Tang San's only External Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, Liu Yuan burst into laughter.

"Alright, kid, don't just focus on being happy."

Seeing this, the God of Death smiled at Liu Yuan and then quickly added:

"You haven't even discovered the true ability of this Ghost Mask yet."

Hearing this, Liu Yuan was slightly stunned and began to study the true ability of the Ghost Mask.

But the problem was that no matter how he studied it, the result was always nothing. He spent a long time and still couldn't find any special ability in this thing.

Helpless, Liu Yuan could only say to the God of Death, "Lord God of Death, please stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me, how do I use this special ability?"

The God of Death finally told Liu Yuan: "Close your eyes and inject your spiritual power into it."

Liu Yuan obediently followed the instructions.

Soon, he discovered that the Ghost Mask was absorbing a large amount of his spirit power and spiritual power.

And after successfully absorbing a large amount of Liu Yuan's spirit power and spiritual power, the Ghost Mask detached from Liu Yuan's face.

When it moved again, flesh and blood grew directly from it, transforming into a human with a completely white body.

This human's appearance was exactly the same as Liu Yuan's, with the only difference being that he wore a mask, so ordinary people would not be able to recognize that he was Liu Yuan.

"This is..."

Liu Yuan stood stunned for a long time after seeing the scene before him, unable to help but ask the God of Death.

The God of Death replied to Liu Yuan: "This is the ability of the Ghost Mask, the Ghost Mask Clone."

"By absorbing a portion of your soul power and mental energy, it creates a clone that possesses one percent of your strength."

"This clone shares memories with you; it becomes another you that thinks independently. In a sense, it is another you."

"The duration of the clone's existence is infinite. As long as it does not die, or you do not voluntarily retract your mental energy and soul power, the clone will continue to exist."

"Although it can only exert a tiny fraction of your strength, as long as your own strength is sufficient, even a small fraction can become a powerful individual. Most importantly, it can be used for emergencies. Sometimes when your main body cannot get away but there are matters that need to be handled, you can have the clone go instead."

"For example, right now, your main body needs to undergo the inheritance and cannot leave this place."

"However, your clone does not have this restriction."

"If you are willing, you can let your clone leave at any time to do the things you want to do."

The God of Death explained to Liu Yuan bit by bit.

Upon hearing these words from the God of Death, Liu Yuan's eyes could not help but light up.

That's right!

Although his main body needed to stay here for the time being and could not personally attend to many things, as long as he had the clone, everything could be easily resolved.

There were truly many things he had always wanted to do!

For instance, returning to Soul Village to check on the current situation of the villagers.

Or, for another example, killing Yu Xiaogang!
