Thousand-Year Soul Bone

"Martial Soul Organ Hypothesis? What are those?"

In the council hall of Haoyang Cliff, Tang Zhen, his face tinged with a faint golden hue, looked at the coded intelligence document in his hand with some puzzlement. 💝✋ ♜🎯

Since Tang Hao clashed with Ling Yi, and even found himself at a disadvantage for the first time, Tang Zhen, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, has placed Ling Yi and Lingyun City in a position of great importance.

Or rather, it wasn't just the Clear Sky Sect; since then, all the forces on the Douluo Continent have begun to re-evaluate the existence of Lingyun City and labeled it as "not to be underestimated."

Naturally, when it comes to valuing a power, nothing is more important than understanding it thoroughly, the more detailed the better.

In contrast, Lingyun City did something that no one expected: they recruited people, accepting all comers!

As long as they have no history of wrongdoing and can provide a plausible background, they can generally be directly assigned to any of the departments in Lingyun City that are short-staffed.

As a newly established force that has only been around for a few years, it is always short of people. The nine major functional departments, Three Offices and Six Ministries Martial Training Bureau, Commerce Bureau, Food Bureau Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue Ministry of War, Revenue Department, War Department, Justice Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works, and Ministry of Medicine Department, have clear divisions of labor and require different talents.

Besides the nine locations mentioned above, other establishments in Lingyun City, such as restaurants and shops, also need to be filled by relevant personnel. After all, it's impractical for the Lingyun City government to manage all the businesses in the city on a daily basis.

Under these circumstances, sending some Soul Master with unique Martial Soul functions to join the Martial Soul Research Institute led by Ling Yi himself would be an opportunity that any capable force would not miss.

Ling Yi's growth story is now widely known in the Douluo Continent, if not universally recognized, and is an absolute inspirational example.

Among them, the most talked about is Ling Yi's Martial Soul. From a recognized useless Martial Soul, he broke the common people's perception all the way. Not only did he cultivate at a speed that exceeded everyone's expectations, but he also awakened the Innate Domain that only the most top-level Martial Soul can possess!

The "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul is a useless Martial Soul.

This is the consensus reached by all the forces that specifically recruited "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul Master after training them.

Although these forces initially thought so too, now that one Ling Yi has appeared, who can deny the possibility of another one appearing?

Leaving aside the possibility of a prodigy like Ah Yin, who mutates and directly possesses an innate Innate Domain, any force that could evolve and transform into a high-level Martial Soul like Ling Yi's "Azure Wood Blue Silver King"Blue Silver Emperor would be a sure-fire and profitable deal.

Unfortunately, even the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world, has only just absorbed its second Soul Ring, a 600-year-old Blue Silver Grass, for the "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul Master it has trained.

Chen Zhongyuan, 12 years old, Martial Soul "Blue Silver Grass", Innate Soul Power level 1, level 21, Two-Ring Grand Soul Master.

The First Soul Ring comes from the 320-year-old "Blue Silver Grass," with the Soul Skill "Abundant Vitality." The Second Soul Skill comes from the 600-year-old "Blue Silver Grass," with the Soul Skill "Surging Vitality."

As a Healing System Soul Master, Chen Zhongyuan's age and strength stats are undoubtedly excellent.

Especially considering that his Innate Soul Power talent is only at level one, this is almost enough to surpass most young geniuses with Innate Soul Power at levels five or six.

However, it should be noted that this was the result of the vigorous cultivation by the Clear Sky Sect at its peak.

If we replace him with a child prodigy with Innate Soul Power at level five or six, even if he doesn't become Three-Ring Soul Elder by the age of twelve, he would at least have the strength of level twenty-six or twenty-seven.

It should be noted that in order for the First Soul Ring of Chen Zhongyuan, whose Martial Soul was truly useless, to absorb the "Blue Silver Grass" which was over three hundred years old, the Clear Sky Sect not only allowed him to enjoy the secret medicinal bath from the Breaking Clan, but also provided him with abundant resources to efficiently and quickly cultivate the "Basic Body Tempering Technique" to temper his physique.

According to the observations of the Clear Sky Sect, with the absorption of the first and Second Soul Ring, Chen Zhongyuan's Martial Soul quality has indeed improved. Compared to the cultivation speed of Soul Master of the same level, it is roughly on the same level as those Healing System Soul Master with Innate Soul Power level two.

In addition, in a "Blue Silver Grass Mimicry Training Ground" specially created by the Haotian Sect, which is a valley full of "Blue Silver Grass", including many hundred-year-old "Blue Silver Grass", Chen Zhongyuan's cultivation speed can reach the level of a healing-type soul master with innate soul power level three.

But!

Does the Clear Sky Sect lack a Healing System Soul Master with Innate Soul Power Level 3?! Does it lack a Healing System Two-Ring Grand Soul Master?!

Given the cultivation speed of a level 3 Innate Soul Power, how long would it take for Chen Zhongyuan, at the age of twelve, to cultivate from level 21 to level 30?

Ten years? Or twenty years?

Admittedly, if the Clear Sky Sect is willing to invest resources in nurturing him, he could potentially reach level 30 in Soul Power before the age of twenty. Furthermore, given the Clear Sky Sect's power, finding a thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass to use as his Third Soul Ring is not impossible.

But all the manpower, material resources, and financial resources required to achieve this ultimately resulted in a Healing System Three-Ring Soul Elder?

After calculating these costs, the Clear Sky Sect quietly shelved the "Blue Silver King Ling Yi Reappearance Plan".

Apart from Chen Zhongyuan, who was the most talented and successfully trained, the other true wastes who didn't even have a level one Innate Soul Power at the beginning were directly abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect.

Of course, they are not directly expelled, but kept in the Clear Sky Sect as servants. As they grow older, they can try to have these people unite, and perhaps they can give birth to offspring with higher Innate Soul Power.

If they were incredibly lucky and a genius with a benign mutation in their Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power reaching level five or above appeared, the Clear Sky Sect could nurture them properly and follow Ling Yi's growth path. They might just be able to produce a new Healing System Soul Emperor, or even Healing System Soul Saint!

Let alone Seven-Ring Soul Sage, just one Six-Ring Soul Emperor Clear Sky Sect recoup all the initial investments of the Clear Sky Sect and significantly strengthen its foundation!

The Douluo Continent has never lacked combat-type Soul Master. The Clear Sky Sect Clan is especially famous for its Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. Whether it is the Tang Family's "Clear Sky Hammer", or the "Soul Breaking Spear" of the Breaking Clan, the "Great Strength Gorilla" of the Strength Clan, or the "Armored Giant Rhinoceros" of the Defense Clan, they all possess extremely strong combat power.

Even the "Sharp-Tailed Swift" Martial Soul of the "Speed Clan," which focuses on pure speed, is classified as a pure agility-type Battle Soul Master.

However, Soul Master take the support route are rare talents in the Douluo Continent. Whether they are support/amplification type, Healing System, or Food System, even if they are only a One-Ring Soul Master, they will not be turned away. They will be accepted first, and then their treatment will be determined according to their strength.

"The theory of Martial Soul Organ Hypothesis proposed by the City Lord... well, by Ling Yi."

With a fanatical glint in his eyes, Yu Xiaogang said to his father Yu Yuanzhen:

"Martial Soul can be viewed as an organ of our Soul Master's body. It exists based on our bloodline, is connected to our soul, and can be driven by Soul Power."

"Like other organs of the body, the Martial Soul itself can be strengthened by nurturing Soul Power."

"As their strength increases, Tool Martial Soul Master's Martial Soul may become heavier, more resilient, or experience other enhancements..."

"And if it's Beast Martial Soul, the most crucial thing is the purification of the bloodline!"

At this point, Yu Xiaogang's breathing became heavy, and his eyes shone as he looked at Yu Yuanzhen, whose expression shifted slightly but whose reaction was not significant. "Father, I remember that as our strength increases, the Martial Soul souls of our clan members who haven't awakened the ' Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon ' will gradually Martial Soul closer to the ' Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon,' and the purity of their dragon blood will increase step by step..."

Yu Yuanzhen: "..."

Listening quietly to Yu Xiaogang's somewhat incoherent narration, Yu Yuanzhen remained silent, even though he already knew all of this.

As one of the earliest top forces to plant spies in Lingyun City, Yu Xiaogang had not yet returned to the Jade Dragon Mountain Range from Lingyun City when the relevant information had already reached Yu Yuanzhen.

After a long while, when Yu Xiaogang had finished recounting all the theories and ideas Ling Yi had put forward in the Martial Soul Research Institute class, and looked at his father with anticipation, Yu Yuanzhen pondered for a moment and then asked in a deep voice, "What are your plans?"

"I need money!"

Yu Xiaogang answered without hesitation, "There are also various dragon blood Soul Beast flesh and blood materials, high-grade herbs..."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang paused, then gritted his teeth and continued, "I also want the Soul Bone produced by dragon-type Soul Beast!"

"This is impossible!!!"

A resounding shout rang out from the side, like a bucket of ice water poured over Yu Xiaogang's head.

It is Yu Luomian, Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother, and Yu Xiaogang's second uncle.

Yu Luomian stood up from his seat, his tiger-like eyes wide open, and looked solemnly at Yu Yuanzhen, who was seated at the head of the table. "Clan leader, Xiaogang is your son, and I don't object to spending some resources on his upbringing, but..."

After glancing at Yu Xiaogang, whose expression wasn't very pleasant, Yu Luomian turned his gaze back to Yu Yuanzhen and continued, "But everything should be done with discretion!"

"Ling Yi's theories are currently just theories, even if these ideas are feasible, with so many resources, we can definitely cultivate many more outstanding members of our clan!"

"Yes, clan leader, my second brother is right!"

"That's right! Chieftain..."

As Yu Luomian finished speaking, the others in the hall chimed in with their own words.

As he listened to these people's words, blood vessels appeared in Yu Xiaogang's lowered eyes, and his tightly pursed lips revealed his clenched teeth.

He never expected that the first person to jump out and express his opposition would be his second uncle Yu Luomian, who had previously taken good care of him!

As for those who echoed his sentiments, Yu Xiaogang, though indignant, had a sense of "I knew it was true" about them.

"Alright!"

With a soft shout, Yu Yuanzhen with authority as he surveyed the clansmen in the hall. Wherever his gaze fell, silence fell, and no one dared to meet his eyes, including his younger brother, Yu Luomian.

"Let's leave this matter here for now. You may all leave."

"Clan leader?!" *N

"Um?!"

"Yes... yes—!" *N

After all the elders and managers of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan left, only Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaogang, and Yu Luomian remained in the council hall.

"Erlong."

Yu Yuanzhen's deep voice rang out, and his gaze made Yu Luomian feel immense pressure.

"Big brother..."

Yu Luomian gritted her teeth, preparing to say something more, but Yu Yuanzhen interrupted her abruptly, saying, "I know what I'm doing, that's all!"

"Big brother!"

"Get down!"

A few moments later, with a loud bang, the door slammed shut, leaving only the father and son in the large hall.

"Well--!"

With a soft sigh, Yu Yuanzhen reached to his waist and pulled out a gleaming gold card from his belt-like Storage Soul Tool, handing it to the indifferent-looking Yu Xiaogang.

When Yu Xiaogang took the card, Yu Yuanzhen's originally stern face softened slightly. "Xiaogang, don't blame your second uncle and the others. The family doesn't belong to any one person; we need to be responsible for everyone in the family."

After a pause, Yu Yuanzhen glanced at the gold card in Yu Xiaogang's hand and continued, "There are two million Gold Soul Coin in this card, given to you personally. You can cooperate with the [Green Wood Merchant Association] to purchase the supplies you need. Both the prices and the variety of supplies are cheaper and more complete than those from the family."

"In addition..."

Yu Yuanzhen once again touched the Storage Soul Tool at his waist, took out a dark jade box about a foot square, and said, "Here, take this~"

Reaching out to take the box, Yu Xiaogang glanced at it and immediately recognized that the box was made entirely of "Radiant Crystal," making it quite valuable.

"This is..."

Yu Xiaogang supported the bottom of the box with his left hand and held the gold card in his right hand, then lifted the lid. Upon seeing what was inside, his eyes widened in astonishment. "Soul Bone—?!"

"The Black Rat Snake Lizard Right Leg Bone," Yu Yuanzhen introduced casually.

He bought it two years ago through the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at an auction, but he paid for the auction himself.

If Yu Xiaogang hadn't been away for so many years, this Soul Bone wouldn't have remained in his Storage Soul Tool for two long years.

As an aside, Yu Yuanzhen doesn't only possess this one Soul Bone. Although he doesn't have a second Soul Bone in his Storage Soul Tool, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's secret vault contains several Soul Bone, all of which are over ten thousand years old.

However, those items belong to the entire [Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan] and are generally only bestowed upon outstanding descendants within the clan, such as Yu Yuanzhen's other sons and the sons of certain clan elders whose talents are no less than those of Yu Yuanzhen's sons.

Secondly, Yu Xiaogang's strength is too weak, only at the level of Two-Ring Grand Soul Master. Even if he were given Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, he would have difficulty refining and absorbing it. More likely, he would be severely injured by the violent power within the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, or even die from its explosion!

Looking at the grayish-black Soul Bone that was only a section of the lower leg, Yu Xiaogang's originally indifferent face showed excitement.

With this 5,700-year-old "Black Rat Snake Lizard Right Leg Bone," combined with the physique he had honed over the past two and a half years in Lingyun City by practicing the "Basic Body Tempering Technique" and the eighth form of "Beast Martial Soul Xingyi Fist Soul: Xingyi Fist Style - Dragon Lizard Shakes Its Armor Shaking Armor," and by brewing a pot of "Tenfold Tonic Soup," Yu Xiaogang was 99% confident that he could forcibly raise his Soul Power to level 30!
