Special External Soul Bone

"You call this a Soul Spirit?" Kong Deming raised an eyebrow, pondering for a few minutes before saying, "That name is quite fitting."

Xu Yanli, meanwhile, was wondering what on earth this thing was. Hadn't he not even met Electrolux yet?

How could there be a Soul Spirit?

Could it be that the system hadn't just copied Ya Li's Martial Soul, but her entire Soul Spirit system as well?

Xu Yanli thought about it for a long time without reaching a conclusion, eventually choosing to give up. It didn't affect him anyway, and since it was a good thing, he might as well let nature take its course.

"It seems your Martial Soul is special and must have mutated; I can't really explain this situation either." Kong Deming thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, as his primary expertise was as a Soul Tool Master.

Even if he had specialized in Soul Masters, this problem would still be unsolvable...

After all, this technology simply didn't belong to this era.

What Xu Yanli craved most was Ya Li's set of Battle Armor, regardless of whether the attributes were a perfect match.

In this era, having it at all was a blessing.

Xu Yanli nodded.

Kong Deming thought of something and asked, "Are you still planning to hunt for your second soul ring?"

Xu Yanli nodded. "Yes, Teacher. My Innate Soul Power is level 20, so I likely need to hunt another soul beast."

Xu Yanli had tested it earlier and discovered that his Soul Spirit couldn't generate a second soul ring. It seemed this soul beast was only temporary, existing in a Soul Spirit state rather than being a true Soul Spirit.

"Hmm, alright. By the way, release your soul skill first. Let me see how effective it is," Kong Deming said, his eyes glazing over for a moment before he realized he had forgotten to ask.

Xu Yanli nodded and released his first Martial Soul, the Sun Moon Holy Prayer Angel.

"First soul skill, Holy Prayer Sun Moon Light Heal." The angel behind Xu Yanli pressed its palms together, and the sun and moon beside it bloomed with radiance, the energy converging in Xu Yanli's palms.

A gentle force slowly infused Kong Deming's body, seemingly moistening his meridians; the injuries he had sustained in the past were healing significantly.

Kong Deming's eyes lit up. This Martial Soul was of the support type, and its effects were even better than he had imagined.

His Martial Soul gave him hope that Xu Tianran could be healed, and this lucky disciple of his had no overt conflict of interest with Xu Tianran.

Xu Yanli looked up at Kong Deming and asked with a smile, "Teacher, how is the effect of my skill?"

Kong Deming patted Xu Yanli's head and said, "When you get the chance, try it on your brother, Xu Tianran, and see if you can heal his legs to a decent degree."

Xu Yanli hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Xu Tianran was a capable man and an ambitious one; if he didn't go astray in the future, he might well become a wise ruler.

Besides, he didn't have a good relationship with his other brothers, certainly not as good as his relationship with Xu Tianran, so he might as well help him out.

Then, he could use Xu Tianran's influence to live a life of leisure.

Xu Yanli thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any other light-type soul beasts in our Jingyang Mountain Range?"

Kong Deming nodded and said, "There should be. There is a type called the Bright Blazing Bird that should be quite compatible with your Martial Soul."

Xu Yanli nodded, then watched as Kong Deming used the screen from earlier to continue his search.

Kong Deming quickly located a suitable Bright Blazing Bird. After a moment of hesitation, he took out a bracelet and quickly fastened it onto Xu Yanli's wrist.

The moment the bracelet was on, a transparent golden film appeared around Xu Yanli, isolating him from the surrounding environment.

"Wait for me here. I'll go catch that Bright Blazing Bird. You stay here and cultivate. This is a level 7 soul tool of mine; it can withstand a full-force strike from a Titled Douluo. I'll be back shortly," Kong Deming told him.

With that, Kong Deming turned and flew off in the direction of the Bright Blazing Bird.

Xu Yanli didn't cultivate; instead, he played with his Soul Spirit Unicorn, feeling that petting it was just like petting a cat.

Wait, didn't Soul Spirits lack physical form?

Xu Yanli scratched his head, unable to understand. Sigh, the system didn't even leave a note or an instruction manual.

Too much.

As Xu Yanli stroked the unicorn, he felt something indescribable from the heavens and earth flowing into his body.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his right hand, as if something were trying to break free.

Xu Yanli slowly raised his right hand to his eyes, only to see his entire hand glowing with golden light, as if a sword-shaped object were trying to emerge.

Just as he felt he was about to pass out from the pain, a golden longsword finally appeared in his right hand.

A look of disbelief flashed in Xu Yanli's eyes. Is this a special type of External Soul Bone?

Weren't these things supposed to be as hard to find as ascending to heaven?

Xu Yanli slowly retracted the soul bone.

As he did, he felt the soul power in his body shrink by a third; it seemed that using this thing consumed quite a lot of energy.

Xu Yanli estimated that to unleash the full power of this sword, he would likely need to condense a Soul Core first.

After a while, a massive golden-red bird was tossed onto the ground.

"This Bright Blazing Bird is about 2,900 years old. Try to absorb it," Kong Deming said.

Xu Yanli nodded and slowly walked toward the tightly bound Bright Blazing Bird.

He picked up the Soul Guidance Ray Gun he had set aside earlier and ended it with a single shot to the head.

Xu Yanli sat to the side, slowly guiding his second soul ring.

The purple soul ring attached itself to his martial soul once more, causing the martial soul to become increasingly distinct.

Behind the divine angel, wings began to emerge.

Kong Deming subconsciously began to count the wings on the angel's back.

Twelve!

Was it not said that the highest state for an angel was the Six-Winged Angel? How could twelve wings appear?

However, Kong Deming felt that he simply lacked sufficient understanding of the martial souls on the Douluo Continent, so he did not voice any opinion.

After a long while had finally passed, Xu Yanli stood up and brushed the dirt from his legs.

"Come, take this and test it. What is your soul power level now?" Kong Deming pulled a Soul Tool Tester from his storage soul tool and placed it into Xu Yanli's hand.

Xu Yanli took the Soul Tool Tester, and very quickly, the device let out a beep.

Soul Power: Level 29
Innate Soul Power Intensity: Level 20
Physical Strength: Level 47
Evaluation: Peerless Genius

A flash of excitement crossed Kong Deming's eyes, and he then grabbed Xu Yanli to return to the Sun Moon Empire imperial palace.
