As Ling Feng selected and distributed them, he ran through everyone's name in his mind.
Besides those, there were more than twenty Soul Bones of various attributes, ranging from twenty thousand to fifty thousand years in age.
These could be kept for Spirit Hall's elders or bestowed as rewards upon those who had rendered merit.
Qian Daoliu watched from the side, a trace of gratification flashing through his eyes.
This child's first thought was not for himself, but for those around him.
Such a temperament was rarer than that of any genius he had ever seen.
Di Tian watched Ling Feng sort through the Soul Bones with considerable interest, then suddenly spoke. "Little one, do you know the value of these Soul Bones?"
Ling Feng looked up. "I do. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is enough to stir up a bloody storm throughout the soul master world."
"And you still dared to accept them?"
"They were given by you, Senior. Why would I not dare to accept them?"
Ling Feng smiled. "You are the ruler of soul beasts, Senior. To you, these Soul Bones are merely collectibles."
"But to me, they are things that can change many people's destinies."
"Since you were willing to give them, Senior, I was naturally willing to take them. If I achieve anything in the future, I will never forget the kindness you have shown me today."
Di Tian stared at him for a long while before suddenly smiling.
"Good. You will not forget today's kindness."
He waved a hand. "Go. I look forward to the day you grow strong."
Ling Feng solemnly bowed, then stored more than thirty Soul Bones in his Soul Tool.
Qian Daoliu also gave Di Tian a slight nod before taking the three children into the air.
Golden light tore through the sky and sped away toward Spirit City.
Behind them, Di Tian stood by the lake, watching that streak of golden light vanish beyond the horizon.
"An interesting little fellow," he murmured. "I would like to see just how far you can go."
He turned and disappeared into the lake.
The Star Dou Great Forest returned to tranquility.
By the time they returned to Spirit City, evening had already fallen.
The three did not go home. Instead, they headed directly to the Worship Hall. Qian Daoliu had sent word ahead and asked the Seven Consecrated to wait in the hall.
The moment they stepped into the Worship Hall, all seven Consecrated turned their gazes toward them.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was the first to speak. "Xiao Feng, I heard you gained quite a lot on this trip?"
Ling Feng nodded without saying much. He simply took out the Soul Bones from his Soul Tool.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...
More than thirty Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were laid out in the center of the hall. Their multicolored lights intertwined, and the dense fluctuations of Soul Power shrouded the entire Worship Hall in a faint radiance.
The entire hall fell silent.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's pupils abruptly constricted.
Qianjun Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
Green Phoenix Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, and Light Feather Douluo even rose to their feet, staring at the scene in disbelief.
"This... this is..."
Even Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice trembled.
Ling Feng smiled faintly. "They were a gift from Senior Di Tian."
"A gift?" Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice rose sharply. "More than thirty Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, and he gave them to you?"
"Mm." Ling Feng nodded. "Senior Di Tian said he liked the look of me, so he gave them to me."
The Consecrated looked at one another.
He liked the look of him?
More than thirty Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, just because he liked the look of him?
After all these years, Spirit Hall had accumulated only a few dozen Soul Bones. Yet someone else casually gave away so many at once. Comparing people truly could make one furious.
Qian Daoliu coughed lightly and said slowly, "I saw it with my own eyes. Di Tian did indeed give them to him."
Since the Great Enshrined had spoken, no one questioned it further.
Yet their gazes at Ling Feng had become more complicated. Just how monstrous was this child, to make even the ruler of soul beasts regard him so highly?
Ling Feng paid no attention to their looks and began distributing the Soul Bones.
He first walked over to Qiangu Xiaoye.
"Father."
He took out four Soul Bones.
The first was an eighty-thousand-year dark-attribute Right Arm Bone, pitch-black throughout, with faint dragon patterns emerging across its surface.
The second was a sixty-thousand-year dark-attribute Skull Bone. Its dim glow was contained within, while it emitted powerful spiritual fluctuations.
The third was a fifty-thousand-year dark-attribute Left Leg Bone, thick and solid, as though it contained inexhaustible strength.
The fourth was a fifty-thousand-year dark-attribute Right Leg Bone, forming a perfect pair with the Left Leg Bone, their auras echoing each other.
"These are for you," Ling Feng said.
"The eighty-thousand-year Right Arm Bone perfectly matches your dark attribute. The forty-thousand-year Skull Bone can enhance your spiritual power, while the two Leg Bones can take your speed and explosive power to another level."
"As for the Left Arm Bone..."
He paused, then smiled. "Keep that spot open. Once you break through to Titled Douluo, we'll hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. A hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring is guaranteed to produce a Soul Bone, so it will be perfect for completing the set then."
Among the Soul Bones Di Tian had given them, dark-attribute ones made up the largest share and were of the highest quality. It worked out perfectly for his own father.
Qiangu Xiaoye stared at the four Soul Bones before him in silence for a long time.
He was forty-six this year. His son had first yielded a rare Torso Soul Bone to him, then found him an Immortal Herb and enabled him to break through to rank ninety in one leap.
And now, he had gathered four Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones for him. Only a Left Arm Bone was still missing.
"Feng'er..." His voice was slightly hoarse.
"Father." Ling Feng looked at him earnestly. "You raised me for six years and protected me for six years. This is all your son can do."
Qiangu Xiaoye drew a deep breath and raised a hand to pat his son's shoulder.
He said nothing, but everything was understood without words.
From now on, if anyone dared bully his son, Qiangu Xiaoye would definitely teach them what true cruelty meant!
Ling Feng then walked over to Tuoba Yue'er.
"Mother."
He took out three Soul Bones.
One was a forty-thousand-year defensive-attribute Right Arm Bone, heavy and sturdy.
One was a fifty-thousand-year defensive-attribute Left Leg Bone, containing surging earth-attribute energy.
One was a fifty-thousand-year defensive-attribute Right Leg Bone, its aura echoing that of the Left Leg Bone.
"Your martial soul is the White Armored Earth Dragon, which specializes in defense."
Ling Feng said, "These Soul Bones are all defensive in nature and perfectly suit you."
"There aren't any suitable Skull Bones or other pieces for now. We can look for them when we encounter them in the future."
"But with your current foundation, after taking the Immortal Herb and equipping these Soul Bones, breaking through to rank eighty should not be a problem."
Tuoba Yue'er looked at her son, her eyes already red.
She said nothing. She simply pulled Ling Feng into her arms and held him tightly, so very tightly.
Ling Feng obediently let her hold him. Only after his mother had calmed down did he gently free himself.
The Consecrated chuckled, but their eyes were filled with gratification.
Finally, Ling Feng walked over to Jin Chen.
"Jin Chen, this is for you."
He took out a Leg Bone that was golden all over, radiating a dense golden-attribute aura.
"A sixty-thousand-year golden-attribute Left Leg Bone. It perfectly matches your Golden Dragon Crocodile martial soul."
"Your martial soul focuses on attack and defense. This Leg Bone can greatly enhance your speed and explosive power."
Jin Chen stared at the Soul Bone, his eyes going wide.
"B-Boss, this is for me?"
"Mm." Ling Feng nodded. "Take it."
Jin Chen scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed. "Boss, this is too valuable..."
"You're my brother. Who else would I give it to?"
Ling Feng directly stuffed the Soul Bone into his arms. "As for Soul Bones for the other parts, we'll wait until you're older and find ones that suit you better. Absorb this one first."
Jin Chen held the Soul Bone in his hands, stunned for a moment before breaking into a broad grin and nodding firmly. "Mm!"
