Tri-Color Bracelet

Instead of living in constant fear, it would be better to take this Soul Bone to the Heaven Dou Auction House to be auctioned off. The proceeds would not only allow for the purchase of a large quantity of Whale Rubber but also a top-tier storage Soul Tool to keep various items.

With this thought in mind, Ye Chen left the Sunset Forest and arrived in Heaven Dou City.

Having lived in seclusion in the Sunset Forest for two years, his attire resembled that of a wild savage. To avoid attracting unwanted attention, Ye Chen decided to use his remaining fifty Gold Soul Coins to buy a decent outfit at a mall and tidy up his appearance.

After five hours, when he walked out of the mall, his entire appearance no longer resembled a wild savage, but rather a dashing and remarkably handsome young man.

Guided by passersby, Ye Chen arrived at the Heaven Dou Auction House and informed the staff that he had a Soul Bone to auction.

Upon hearing the words "Soul Bone," the staff treated him with the courtesy reserved for VIPs, then processed his application for a Gold Soul Coin deposit card and the necessary procedures for participating in the auction.

It is said that rare auction items like Soul Bones are always scheduled for the prime auction time in the evening.

At eight o'clock, during the prime auction time, all the bidders immediately raised their paddles in a frenzy the moment they saw a Soul Bone appear as an auction item.

The Soul Bone, which started with an opening bid of one million Gold Soul Coins, was eventually bought for four million Gold Soul Coins by Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Martial Soul Hall.

After the transaction was completed, the Heaven Dou Auction House deducted one million Gold Soul Coins as a commission and service fee, while Ye Chen's deposit card received a transfer of three million Gold Soul Coins.

He felt fortunate that Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, did not attend this auction. Otherwise, if Ning Fengzhi had placed a bid, others would certainly not have dared to compete, and his Soul Bone would have only sold for one million Gold Soul Coins, which would undoubtedly have been a huge loss.

Taking advantage of his newfound wealth, Ye Chen spent one million Gold Soul Coins at the Heaven Dou Auction House to purchase a top-tier storage Soul Tool called the Tri-Color Bracelet.

The Soul Tool was silver-black in its entirety. Though called a bracelet, it looked more like a wristwatch; the strap was highly elastic, making it a perfect fit for anyone's wrist, and the watch face was divided into red, green, and blue colors. Each color represented an independent storage space.

From the host's introduction, he learned that the reason the original owner named it the Tri-Color Bracelet was precisely because the watch face contained three independent storage spaces: red, green, and blue.

Each of these three storage spaces had a capacity of fifty cubic meters.

Among them, the red storage space could store inanimate objects. The green storage space could store living things, and the blue storage space was even more miraculous; not only could it refrigerate food, but it could also store food-type Soul Skills for long periods.

It was precisely because the blue storage space could store food-type Soul Skills long-term that the Tri-Color Bracelet was snatched up by major bidders, driving the price straight up to one million Gold Soul Coins.

Fortunately, there were even more explosive items waiting later, which is why big shots with money and power like Platinum Bishop Salas, Prince Xue Xing, and the Sect Master of the Elephant Armor Sect chose to give up.

With the Tri-Color Bracelet as his storage Soul Tool, Ye Chen left the Heaven Dou Auction House and went to the pharmacy he had visited two years ago to conduct business regarding Whale Rubber.

As the saying goes, money makes the mare go; he spent three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, and in just three days, he had the pharmacy owner use all his connections and resources to collect twenty pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber and six pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber.

Afterward, Ye Chen went to a bookstore to buy many books about Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, then went to a mall to buy daily necessities, including several sets of noble and commoner clothing, a sleeping bag, insect repellent powder, toiletries, as well as vegetables, fruits, and meat such as goose, fish, and pork.

Having bought everything he needed, Ye Chen left Heaven Dou City with satisfaction and returned to the Sunset Forest to live in seclusion.

He wanted to finish consuming the Whale Rubber first, and only after pushing his physical strength to its limit would he consider obtaining his third Soul Ring to advance.

Ten days later.

One kilometer outside the entrance of the Sunset Forest.

In a hidden clearing within a small thicket, Combusken used Fire Spin to incinerate two head-sized pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber.

After about three minutes, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, devouring a piece of softened ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber as if he were eating a watermelon.

The other piece of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber was left for Combusken.

For these ten days, both man and bird had been eating Whale Rubber, constantly relying on refining its medicinal power to increase their physical strength.

As of now, the six pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber and twenty pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber that had been purchased were all consumed.

Ye Chen and Combusken had eaten equal portions, and each had received the medicinal reinforcement of three pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber and ten pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber.

Two hours later, the sun set and night fell.

Ye Chen and Combusken, sitting on the grass, finally absorbed all the medicinal power of the ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber. Both ended their meditation at the same time, opened their eyes, and looked at each other.

"How is it, Combusken? Does the ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber still have any nourishing effect on you?" Ye Chen asked.

"Chamo." Combusken shook its head, indicating it had no effect.

"Is that so? The ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber has almost zero nourishing effect on me now, too. It seems our physical strength has reached its limit; the medicinal power of the Whale Rubber is no longer useful to us."

As he spoke, Ye Chen stood up from the grass. He stretched his body and discovered that compared to before, his physical strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

With a push of his feet, Ye Chen jumped high, reaching a height of twenty meters in the air in a single bound.

After landing safely, he reinforced his feet with Soul Power and jumped again, this time reaching a height of fifty meters.

Comparing the two, Ye Chen was overjoyed. He felt that with his current physical strength, combined with his Soul Power and his Body Martial Soul in combat, he could definitely be called a human-shaped Soul Beast.

Since his jumping ability had become so outstanding, his strength, defense, speed, and other physical capabilities must have also improved tremendously.

After landing safely, Ye Chen suggested, "Combusken, it's your turn. Let's see how high you can jump now."

"Chamo!" Responding to the call, Combusken's two thick and powerful legs exerted force, instantly jumping to a height of fifty meters.

"Use Air Walk!"

Receiving Ye Chen's instruction, Combusken stepped on the air with its feet at the fifty-meter mark and ran straight toward the hundred-meter sky. It suddenly performed a diving motion, spreading its arms, and flew briefly in the hundred-meter-high air like a strange bird.

Looking up at Combusken flying at a height of one hundred meters, Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction.

It seemed that after Combusken consumed ten pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber and three pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber just like him, its physical strength had also undergone a qualitative leap.

If Combusken alone could jump to a height of fifty meters, then once it evolved into a stronger Blaziken, how astonishing would its jumping ability become? To what level would its overall strength rise?

Thinking of these things, Ye Chen began to contemplate his third Soul Ring.
