Disdain for a Seventy Thousand Year Soul Bone? A Titled Douluo Would Die of Anger! One Qi Transforms Three Purities!

Dugu Bo urged, "Kid, don't just stand there grinning. Fuse that Torso Bone first, so I don't have to look at it and get envious."

As he spoke, his emerald-green eyes were fixed intently on the crimson soul bone in Ye Qing's hand.

He wished he could use his gaze to carve that treasure out and add it to his collection.

Of course, he was only saying that.

The Crimson Flame Ancient Tree Torso Bone had absolutely nothing to do with the poison attribute of his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor; even if it were given to him, he wouldn't be able to fuse with it.

However, Ye Qing merely smiled and casually tucked the crimson Torso Bone into his Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch.

Dugu Bo was stunned. "What are you doing? Not fusing it?"

"The age of this soul bone is a bit low."

Ye Qing rubbed his nose, his tone carrying a nonchalance that even he felt was a bit punchable.

Dugu Bo's beard visibly twitched.

A seventy-thousand-year soul bone!

And he called the age a bit low?

He, a dignified Title Douluo, had only managed to save up one ten-thousand-year soul bone in all his years, and that was a top-tier sixty-thousand-year piece.

And this kid?

He gets his hands on a seventy-thousand-year Torso Bone and complains that the age is too low?

"...Do you know what you're saying?"

Dugu Bo's voice carried a dangerous aura that suggested, "Say that again and I won't be able to stop myself from attacking you."

"Cough, cough, Senior, please don't get excited." Ye Qing hurriedly waved his hands.

He couldn't exactly say that he had read too many Douluo fan-fiction novels and had his standards raised by protagonists who possessed Hundred-Thousand-Year or even Million-Year Soul Bones.

"I'm just a person with rather large ambitions."

"My seventh soul ring is already ninety thousand years old."

"In the future, from my eighth soul ring to my eighteenth, I hope to absorb Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings."

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring is guaranteed to drop a soul bone; perhaps I can assemble a full set of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones."

"..."

Dugu Bo's mouth hung open.

He wanted to say, "You're dreaming, kid."

But he suddenly recalled that this boy's first soul ring had started at the thousand-year level, and his seventh was already ninety thousand years old—only a step away from a hundred thousand.

It seemed... it really wasn't entirely impossible?

"Besides, the soul bone restrictions for my Chaos Green Lotus martial soul are extremely minimal. They can be from plant-type soul beasts, or fire-attribute or ice-attribute soul bones."

Ye Qing spread his hands. "Not to mention anything else, just regarding ice-attribute Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, I know of at least four in the frozen plains of the Far North."

Dugu Bo's brow twitched violently as he listened.

"How do you know there are so many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Far North?"

"Uh... I read it in some ancient texts."

"..."

Dugu Bo knew with his eyes closed that this kid was spouting nonsense again.

But he didn't press the issue.

There were too many secrets on this boy; asking would be a waste of time.

"Fine, fine, you're right. You're amazing, your vision is high; I won't try to persuade you anymore."

Dugu Bo waved his hand impatiently and turned around, ready to signal for Ye Qing to leave.

At that very moment.

"Awooo--!"

A shrill, long-drawn-out wolf howl echoed from the distance.

It was immediately followed by a second, a third, a fourth...

Howls rose and fell from every direction simultaneously.

It was as if the entire forest were responding to that call of death.

Dugu Bo and Ye Qing stopped in their tracks at the same time.

They scanned their surroundings.

In the shadows of the dense forest, pairs of beastly eyes glowing with a ghostly green light were closing in.

Seventeen or eighteen Ice-Fire Demon Wolves, ranging from one to three meters in length, slowly emerged from the thickets, encircling them in a fan formation.

Traces of dual-colored ice and fire patterns still lingered on their fur.

They bared their fangs, low, warning growls rumbling in their throats.

The pack's gaze bypassed Dugu Bo, locking firmly onto the corpse of the Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King behind Ye Qing.

The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King's aura had already dissipated.

Yet, these demon wolves could still scent the blood of their kin.

"The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf pack."

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise in his tone.

"It must be the tribe of that ninety-thousand-year-old demon wolf king; they tracked us by the scent."

His emerald-green Soul Power began to surge around his body, ready to clear out these small fry.

Ye Qing reached out to stop him. "Senior, let me handle this."

Dugu Bo glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? There are over a dozen ten-thousand-year soul beasts here."

"It's the perfect chance to test my new soul skill."

Ye Qing grinned, a spark of eagerness flashing in his black eyes.

"This pack of Ice and Fire Demon Wolves, all under thirty thousand years, is just right."

Dugu Bo fell silent for a moment, withdrew his Green Phosphorus Soul Power, and stepped back with his hands behind his back.

He, too, wanted to see just how far the boy's strength had reached after absorbing two high-tier soul rings in succession and obtaining an External Soul Bone.

Ye Qing stepped forward, standing directly in front of the seven Ice and Fire Demon Wolves.

The Chaos Green Lotus bloomed slowly behind him, its seventy-two petals shimmering with a deep, chaotic luster.

At the same time, seven soul rings rose from beneath his feet—purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black!

"Sixth soul skill."

He spoke softly: "Creation Green Lotus Seal."

The sixth black soul ring suddenly flared.

A cyan-gold lotus seal flew out from between his brows, tracing a streak of light through the air before branding itself precisely onto his chest.

As the lotus seal merged into his body, a pale golden halo instantly enveloped him.

This Creation Lotus Seal could provide any target with a 100% increase in Soul Power circulation efficiency and a boost to soul skill power for half an hour.

Furthermore, the lotus seal carried a passive life-saving effect.

When the target sustained fatal damage, the lotus seal would instantly shatter, releasing the power of creation to negate the lethal blow and restore 50% of their Soul Power.

"Buff applied to myself."

"Now—"

Ye Qing's lips curled into a dangerous arc.

The seventh black soul ring lit up once more.

This time, the radiance was even more dazzling than before, and a cyan-black pillar of light erupted from the heart of the lotus.

"Seventh soul skill: One Qi Transforms Three Purities!"

Cyan light exploded!

Two cyan lotus shadows, identical to him in every way, split from the pillar of light and landed on his left and right.

The three figures stood side by side.

Whether it was their appearance, Soul Power fluctuations, or demeanor, they were indistinguishable from one another.

Three pairs of black eyes fixed simultaneously on the pack ahead.

Dugu Bo's pupils constricted sharply.

The aura of those two clones... it's exactly the same as the original?!

It wasn't as if he hadn't seen cloning soul skills before.

But the two Ye Qings before him felt far more real than the fragile clones of others.

"These aren't clones; they are incarnations."

Ye Qing's voice came from the incarnation on the left, his tone carrying a hint of irrepressible pride.

"They possess identical combat power and independent combat consciousness; they are entities entirely different from mere clones."

This was his seventh soul skill: One Qi Transforms Three Purities!

It created two cyan lotus shadow incarnations that lasted for half an hour.

Their combat power was exactly equal to the original, and they possessed independent combat consciousness and judgment.

Both shared the same amount of Soul Power as the original, could communicate with each other, transfer energy to sustain one another, and could cast all of his soul skills without restriction.

Damage taken by the original would be shared among the incarnations.

The original could swap positions with the incarnations at any time.

When the incarnations merged back into the original, all attributes would increase by 150% for ten minutes, and the effects and power of all soul skills would double.
