Dark Demon Dragon Torso Soul Bone

"Children shouldn't ask so many questions. Hurry up and eat."

Qiangu Xiaoye did not place much importance on the desire Ling Feng's martial soul had mentioned.

He had experienced the same feeling before and had once consulted his uncles, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo. The answer he received had been just as expected.

The Qiangu Family was said to have been the executioners of the Dragon Clan, and the dragons carved upon their Coiling Dragon Staff were the strongest dragons they had slain in their previous lives.

Dragons were naturally lustful, so it was only natural for them to crave a substance like Whale Rubber, which possessed special effects.

But Ling Feng refused to let it go. He naturally knew that the little sphere Qiangu Xiaoye possessed was made from Whale Rubber.

The martial soul's craving was only an excuse. Strengthening his body and absorbing Soul Rings beyond his rank were the true goals.

Ling Feng had tempered his body for years, and with the enhancement provided by his Twin Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring would not be a problem.

However, that was only at the entry-level thousand-year range. If he could use ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber to enhance his physical strength before obtaining his first Soul Ring, he could absolutely raise that limit to around two thousand years.

If this continued over time, then absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as his third Soul Ring would be highly possible—perhaps even a certainty.

Not only him; even Qian Renxue and Jin Chen could use this to build a stronger foundation.

"Dad, I know that's Whale Rubber. Get me a piece, preferably ten-thousand-year-old. I have a great use for it."

Whale Rubber?

Upon hearing that, Qian Renxue and Jin Chen both lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Though they were still young, they knew what Whale Rubber was used for.

"You little brat, did you go out and learn bad things from outsiders? Speak! Who was it? I'll go deal with him right now!"

Tuoba Yue'er was furious. Someone in Spirit Hall actually dared to corrupt her son? They truly did not know the meaning of death.

"Mom, calm down first. My martial soul told me."

"It said Whale Rubber can improve my physical strength. It's the best heavenly treasure for tempering the body."

Seeing this, Ling Feng directly shifted the blame onto his martial soul.

His martial soul could not speak anyway, so it would not mind taking the blame.

"Your martial soul? Are you sure?"

"Whale Rubber can really improve your physical strength?"

Qiangu Xiaoye stepped forward and questioned him carefully.

So long as it benefited his son, he would swallow his pride and obtain a batch of the finest goods to nourish him.

"Absolutely! And not just me—any Soul Master can gain this effect by consuming Whale Rubber through a specific method."

Qiangu Xiaoye keenly sensed the opportunity within this. "Xiao Feng, how do you intend to handle this matter?"

"If Whale Rubber can truly improve physical strength, what should we do?"

"Of course, we should test it first. If it really works, we can tell the Enshrined Grandpas about it."

"They're old, and their health isn't great. It would naturally be wonderful for them to eat some and nourish their bodies."

"As for Xiaoxue, Xiao Chen, and me, the more the better. We should raise our physical strength as much as possible before obtaining our first Soul Rings."

"The books in Worship Hall state that before a Soul Master obtains a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, the age limit of the Soul Rings they can acquire is closely tied to their physical strength. Generally speaking, Beast Martial Souls hold a greater advantage than Tool Martial Souls."

"So I intend to absorb my first Soul Ring beyond the age limit."

Ling Feng sat on the stool and spoke with a solemn expression.

A trace of admiration flashed through Qiangu Xiaoye's eyes. He truly was his son.

He knew how to repay kindness and understood how to plan for the future.

"There's no need to rush this. It won't be too late to tell you after your two grandpas and I test it tomorrow."

Qiangu Xiaoye rubbed Ling Feng's head, but before he could finish speaking, a hearty laugh sounded from outside.

"Xiaoye, what are you discussing with Xiao Feng? So mysterious. Don't tell me you think us old men are too old to keep up with the times."

Outside, Golden Crocodile Douluo arrived together with Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, the two Titled Douluo.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Grandpa Qian Jun, Grandpa Jiang Mo, why are you here?"

Qian Renxue and Jin Chen stepped forward, while Ling Feng also rose to greet them.

"Ah, there are no outsiders here. No need for this formality. Sit, everyone."

"We came today to deliver the gifts the Enshrined have prepared for you."

"Most notably, the Great Enshrined personally opened the treasury and selected a Soul Bone each for Chen'er and Xiao Feng."

Golden Crocodile Douluo took out two jade boxes. After opening them, two Soul Beast bones emitting strange radiance appeared within.

One gave off a brilliant golden light and carried a fierce, heavy aura. Though its Soul Beast origin was unknown, it must have belonged to one of the apex predators.

As for the other, it was a Torso Bone, black as ink and emanating the distinctive pressure of the Dragon Clan.

"Xiaoxue, the Great Enshrined will personally deliver your gift. These are for Chen'er and Xiao Feng."

Golden Crocodile Douluo patted Qian Renxue's head.

"Mhm, I understand."

Qian Renxue nodded.

To the side, Qiangu Xiaoye and Tuoba Yue'er froze for a moment, seemingly not expecting the Great Enshrined to be so generous.

Those were priceless Blood River Treasure Soul Bones. Judging from their quality, they were at least fifty-thousand-year treasures, and they had been preserved in exceptional condition.

Soul Bones of this level were something even Titled Douluo, perhaps even experts above Rank 95, could not obtain.

Yet now, they were being given to children who had awakened less than a day ago and did not even possess Soul Rings.

What an extravagant gift that was.

"Xiaoye, don't refuse. These were personally bestowed by the Great Enshrined."

"The three of them are Spirit Hall's future rising stars and deserve the finest resources."

"Yes, Uncle!"

Then Golden Crocodile Douluo gestured for Jin Chen to come forward.

"Chen'er, come here."

"This Right Arm Soul Bone came from a sixty-thousand-year Golden Tiger King. The Great Enshrined obtained it by chance when he acquired his eighth Soul Ring in his early years, but no one suitable for its attributes has appeared all these years."

"Your Golden Crocodile martial soul is no different from a Golden Tiger King. Do not disappoint the Great Enshrined's faith in you."

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Jin Chen accepted the Right Arm Soul Bone. If it were combined with the seventy-thousand-year Golden Crocodile Left Leg Bone that Golden Crocodile Douluo had prepared for him, Jin Chen's talent might reach the level of Innate Full Soul Power.

After all, Soul Bones provided unparalleled enhancement to Soul Masters. Many low-level Soul Masters had broken through the shackles of their talent and reached higher levels merely through hundred-year or thousand-year Soul Bones.

"This Soul Bone is a Dark Demon Dragon Torso Bone. Although it is only fifty thousand years old, it has been preserved exceptionally well. Xiao Feng, this is from the Great Enshrined."

Ling Feng stepped forward and accepted the Soul Bone.

"Alright, you two should absorb them directly. With the three of us here, no one can disturb you."

Jin Chen nodded, but Ling Feng asked a question.

"This Soul Bone was originally meant for my father, wasn't it?"

If the Dark Demon Dragon Torso Bone fused with Qiangu Xiaoye, the latter could very likely enter the Titled Douluo realm at an extremely rapid pace.

It was a perfect match for his Dark Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul. With Spirit Hall's strength, they might even spare no cost to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for Qiangu Xiaoye's Ninth Spirit Ring.

"What nonsense are you saying, Xiao Feng? Hurry up and sit down to absorb the Soul Bone!"

Qiangu Xiaoye shouted sternly.
