"Other than those blessed with extraordinary luck, only people with exceptional talent and extraordinary physiques could manage it."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Pu's mind.
"I just thought of something. If a Spirit Master already had all six major Soul Bones, would the chance of gaining an External Soul Bone increase under such extreme circumstances?"
It was a bold idea.
"You're overthinking it. That's obviously unlikely. External Soul Bones are different from the six major Soul Bones; they can only be produced while absorbing a Soul Ring. Having all six major Soul Bones makes no difference. Unless it's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, perhaps its willing Sacrifice could make an External Soul Bone more likely to appear."

The normal Soul Ring standards wouldn't apply to them. With a Soul Ring beyond the usual age limit and extreme resentment, they'd have a much easier time than other people. Add special training from the start, with Soul Skill body tempering and mental strength training, and they wouldn't have to worry about exploding or dying from a Spirit Master's resentment or even a soul impact. Wouldn't that make the odds of obtaining an External Soul Bone better than in a normal, dangerous situation?"
