External Soul Bone! Evolved Dragon Spine! Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone Drops!

At that moment, Li Fei's spine began to burn and itch, as if something were about to grow out of it.

The clothes on his back were pierced through the next second.

"What is that?" Dugu Bo asked in shock.

"This is an External Soul Bone. I obtained the Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon's spinal External Soul Bone," Li Fei said.

"An External Soul Bone!?"

"I once read about it in ancient texts, but I've never encountered one before! I never thought it really existed!"

"Good heavens, Little Monster, your luck is insane!"

Dugu Bo exclaimed.

Li Fei was also delighted. After all, the greatest difference between an External Soul Bone and an Internal Soul Bone was that the former could grow alongside its owner!

Although Li Fei had obtained the External Soul Bone, it still felt somewhat foreign to him. That was probably because it had not completely fused with him yet.

So, he activated the Eastern Azure Dragon Art and channeled it into his spine. The energy of heaven and earth gathered, allowing the External Soul Bone to completely merge with him!

Azure wood-element energy wrapped around the spine. Under the influence of the wood-element energy and the power of the Eastern Azure Dragon, this spinal External Soul Bone began to mutate. It was completely infused with the Eastern Azure Dragon's power, and the tattoo on his body took on the form of the Eastern Azure Dragon rather than the Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon.

The Flood Dragon spine transformed into a Dragon Spine! Its original power increased geometrically!

"Amazing!!!!!!"

"Roar!!!!"

Li Fei shouted, and a dragon's roar sounded from the spine on his back.

By absorbing an External Soul Bone, he had activated the Soul Bone power of the Eastern Azure Dragon ahead of time.

With a thought, he drew the Dragon Spine back into his body.

From the outside, his spine appeared even tougher, sturdier, and more imposing.

"The matter is settled. Come on, let's have some fun in this old man's Back Garden."

"I have some beautiful flowers there. I have no idea what they do, but perhaps someone like you, who knows alchemy, understands their secrets."

Dugu Bo warmly invited him.

Having witnessed Li Fei's even more extraordinary talent, he became all the more determined to bind himself firmly to him.

"Sure, sure. Then I'll have to take a good look."

Li Fei was delighted to hear that.

Today truly brought him double happiness.

First, he had obtained the Soul Ring and skill he wanted.

Second, he would get to see the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

That old fellow Dugu Bo was guarding the greatest treasure trove around without even realizing it.

It was truly pathetic.

In the end, it was supposed to benefit Tang San.

But now, it would benefit Li Fei instead.

Li Fei would get there first.

Ever since inheriting the memories of Azure Dragon Alchemy, he naturally possessed information about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as well as knowledge of the Immortal Herbs within it—their varieties, effects, cultivation methods, ways to accelerate their growth, harvesting methods, and more.

Before leaving, he dissected the Nine-Colored Centipede Dragon.

He wanted to see whether this Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had a Soul Bone.

After searching for a long time, he found no Soul Bone and felt a little disappointed.

However, he did collect several useful parts from the beast's body.

Just as he was about to leave, he discovered a bone that looked different from the others.

His eyes lit up, and he reached out to pick it up.

Just as expected!

It really was!

"A Soul Bone!"

"This is a Fifty-Thousand-Year right arm bone!"

Li Fei said.

"Little Monster, your luck is through the roof. Not only did you get an External Soul Bone, but now an Internal Soul Bone dropped as well!"

"This is a Fifty-Thousand-Year Internal Soul Bone! If outsiders learned about it, it would definitely stir up a bloody storm!"

Light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes as he spoke.

He had not expected Li Fei's luck to be this good.

Whether one could encounter a Soul Bone still depended on luck.

"Hurry up and absorb it. Your strength will definitely improve."

"Perhaps you'll become a Soul King at the age of seven."

Dugu Bo turned around as he spoke.

Judging from his Soul Power fluctuations, Li Fei already possessed Level 46 Soul Power.

If he absorbed this Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone,

he might gain two or three more levels of Soul Power.

That would be extremely terrifying.

"No. This Soul Bone's age is too low. I don't want it. You can have it."

"Consider it the bride price I'm giving Yanyan in advance."

"This bone suits you better."

Li Fei shook his head. He simply did not think much of a Soul Bone of this age.

He had a feeling that he would definitely obtain better Soul Bones in the future, ones more suitable for him.

If he had not accidentally obtained this External Soul Bone, he would not have absorbed it either.

"Little Monster, have you really thought this through?" Dugu Bo was deeply shocked upon hearing this.

It was a Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. He would be lying if he said he was not tempted.

If it were someone else, he might have killed them and taken it.

This was a supreme treasure that could make even a Title Douluo greedy!

And this guy was giving it away just like that?

"Yes, I've thought it through." Li Fei nodded. "Do you want it?"

"Yes! Since you're giving it as Yanyan's bride price, it seems I must quickly bring the two of you together. This old man will keep this Soul Bone for Yanyan."

Dugu Bo suppressed his urge to absorb it and spoke.

In his heart, Yanyan still came first.

That was only natural. After all, Dugu Yan was his only granddaughter.

"There's no need. My luck is pretty good. I'll encounter Soul Bones again next time, so you should absorb this one. Only if your strength improves can you protect us better."

"Yanyan isn't strong enough. If people learn that she possesses a Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, even if they fear you, they'll definitely find ways to dig out her bone behind your back. Even if you arrive, it'll be too late."

"Before one has sufficient strength, possessing such a treasure is a dead end."

"Do you think everyone is a monster like me?"

Li Fei shook his head and persuaded him.

"That's true. This old man hadn't considered that."

After Li Fei's reminder, cold sweat broke out on Dugu Bo's forehead.

"Since that's the case, I'll absorb this Soul Bone."

Dugu Bo was currently at Level 93. He eagerly wondered how many levels he could gain after absorbing a Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.

So he directly placed the Soul Bone against the corresponding arm and began circulating his Soul Power to absorb it.

Absorbing a Soul Bone was much easier than absorbing a Soul Ring.

There was no powerful energy impact within it, much less spiritual resentment. As long as it touched the corresponding body part, the absorption could be completed smoothly.

In just a short while, Dugu Bo had finished absorbing it.

Buzz!

A powerful fluctuation of Soul Power erupted from Dugu Bo's body.

Li Fei could sense that Dugu Bo's Soul Power fluctuations had increased by at least tenfold!

Every level among Title Douluos represented a tenfold gap.

That meant Dugu Bo had likely reached Level 94 Title Douluo!

And just as Li Fei had guessed, after absorbing this Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, Dugu Bo's Soul Power rose from Level 93 to Level 94!

Although he had not reached Level 95, Dugu Bo was already extremely satisfied.

Once I obtain the Immortal Herbs and refine Pills, I'll be able to help him quickly break through to Level 95.

In this world, only a Level 95 Title Douluo could provide a greater sense of security.
