Icefire Spirit Spring, Body Forging Begins!

Ye Linyuan's body trembled, and his eyes erupted with uncontrollable ecstasy.

Du Bùsǐ's eyes flew wide open, and he blurted out in shock, "This is... an External Soul Bone!?"

"And it's a right palm bone at that!"

Ye Linyuan carefully extracted the dark gold palm bone.

It was only the size of a palm, yet astonishingly heavy.

Its surface was covered in profound patterns, exuding a dense metallic aura and a hint of overbearing pressure.

This was the most essential part of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear—the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear External Right Palm Bone!

In the original story, Huo Yuhao relied on this very soul bone to elevate his frontal attack power by an entire tier.

And now, he had it too!

Du Bùsǐ stared at the soul bone, completely dumbfounded.

After a long moment, he took a deep breath and looked at Ye Linyuan as if he were a monster: "Kid, you wouldn't happen to be Lady Luck's illegitimate son, would you?"

Ye Linyuan grinned but didn't explain.

In truth, he knew full well that this success was pure dumb luck.

From Electrolux to the Life Gold, as he intercepted the opportunities that originally belonged to Huo Gua ahead of time.

His luck seemed to be getting better and better.

The plan he'd laid out to Du Bùsǐ was, in simple terms, artificially stimulating the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's resentment to increase the probability of producing a soul bone.

But he had no idea how much it would actually boost the odds.

He never expected it to actually work!

And not just any result—the top-tier external palm bone!

"Teacher, I'll absorb the Golden Earth Dragon's soul ring first, then fuse this soul bone," Ye Linyuan said excitedly.

Du Bùsǐ nodded: "Good, I'll guard you."

The Golden Earth Dragon was now on its last legs, without even the strength to resist.

Ye Linyuan walked up to it, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's tail hook lashed out, piercing through its eye socket, snuffing out its final spark of life.

A brilliant purple soul ring rose from the Golden Earth Dragon's corpse.

Ye Linyuan took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged.

His spiritual power gently touched the ring, drawing it in and merging it into his body.

As the soul ring entered, violent energy exploded instantly!

The Golden Earth Dragon's deathly resentment surged like a terrifying torrent, madly assaulting Ye Linyuan's body.

Cracks appeared on his skin, and blood seeped out.

Muscle fibers tore under the strain of the rampaging energy, and his bones creaked ominously under the unbearable load.

The entire process was countless times more agonizing than when he'd fused his first soul ring!

But Ye Linyuan clenched his teeth and didn't utter a single sound.

In his chest, the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart began to beat violently.

With each contraction, it gushed out a sea of life force, flooding every damaged part of his body.

Skin healed, muscles regenerated, bones mended.

Then, in the next wave of energy impact, they were torn apart again.

Cycle after cycle, over and over.

With abundant life force replenishing the losses, Ye Linyuan was like a piece of refined iron being hammered repeatedly, growing stronger through destruction and rebirth.

And during this process, Electrolux's Divine Sense quietly appeared, helping him filter the energy within the soul ring.

"That golden energy is Dragon's Fury," Electrolux's aged voice echoed in Ye Linyuan's mind.

"Guide it into your martial soul."

Ye Linyuan's spirit jolted. He locked onto that golden energy and guided it into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul.

Outside.

Du Bùsǐ watched Ye Linyuan nervously, ready to intervene at any sign of trouble.

Seeing the wounds constantly splitting open on Ye Linyuan's body, his eyelids twitched.

Even in his youth, he had never experienced such a perilous soul ring fusion.

But sensing the rich life force and the rapidly healing wounds, Du Bùsǐ let out an awed sigh.

"So this is the effect of the Life Gold? A tool that can make a demon god deliver an oracle—truly unbelievable!"

Time ticked by, second by second.

Half an hour later.

The soul power fluctuations around Ye Linyuan finally began to settle.

All his wounds had healed completely, and a faint golden sheen even emerged on his skin.

That was the residual trace of the Golden Earth Dragon's bloodline.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Ye Linyuan's eyelids trembled slightly, then slowly opened.

"The fusion succeeded!"

Du Bùsǐ's spirit jolted, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it? What's the Soul Skill?"

A barely restrained joy spread across Ye Linyuan's face.

He stood up and urged his Martial Soul Possession.

"Roar—!"

With a low tiger's growl, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger materialized once more.

Two Soul Rings revolved slowly around his body.

That glaring purple hue left even Du Bùsǐ momentarily dazed.

Ye Linyuan moved his mind, and the second Soul Ring flared.

The next second.

His entire body was shrouded in a thick, blood-red glow.

Muscles bulged, veins stood out, and his whole aura surged dramatically!

"Second Soul Skill, Dragon's Fury!"

"After activation, strength, attack, and defense all double, greatly enhancing resistance to abnormal states while reducing pain by 50%!"

Du Bùsǐ's pupils contracted sharply as he sucked in a cold breath. "All double?"

He knew that a buff-type Soul Skill reaching 50% was already considered top-tier.

Doubling everything—what did that even mean?

Even for a Super Douluo like him, it felt almost surreal!

No wonder it came from a soul beast with pure Golden Dragon bloodline; the quality of the Soul Skill it produced was truly unbelievably high.

Du Bùsǐ suddenly remembered something and asked urgently, "By the way, does Dragon's Fury still have negative effects? Will it affect your reason?"

Ye Linyuan shook his head, surprise gleaming in his eyes. "No."

"Probably because my heart Martial Soul has a spirit-protecting effect. After releasing Dragon's Fury, I can still stay clear-headed, with no side effects."

Du Bùsǐ looked at him, then sighed after a long moment. "Now that's truly taking the essence and discarding the dross!"

"This Soul Skill paired with your Dark Demon Evil God Tiger—perfect!"

Ye Linyuan dismissed his Martial Soul Possession and took out the dark-gold palm bone from his storage ring.

Next up was fusing this External Soul Bone.

The process of fusing a Soul Bone was even more perilous than absorbing a Soul Ring.

Because this bone had a higher age and carried the resentment of the soul beast at the moment of its death.

The stronger the soul beast, the fiercer the resentment.

And the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, having been humiliated to death by Ye Linyuan—its resentment ran deep, as one could imagine.

Ye Linyuan pressed the Soul Bone against the palm of his right hand.

The next second.

A blinding dark-gold light erupted!

A torrent of violent resentment surged like a tidal wave into Ye Linyuan's sea of consciousness, trying to devour his awareness.

It was the fury and unwillingness of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear before its death.

Ye Linyuan's sea of consciousness shook violently, and his face instantly turned pale.

But fortunately, his mental strength had undergone a leap during the earlier fusion with the Life Gold.

Though this resentment was powerful, Ye Linyuan's spirit stood like a seaside cliff.

No matter how the storm raged, it remained steadfast.

At the same time.

The power of the Soul Bone began to seep into Ye Linyuan's right palm.

Scorching energy rampaged wildly, as if countless red-hot knives were slicing through his hand from within.

Bones were restructuring, muscles tearing, nerves reforming.

But with Dragon's Fury's 50% pain reduction and the Life Gold's powerful regenerative ability, Ye Linyuan gritted his teeth and endured it all.
