Absorbing the First Soul Ring, Xiao Huang Evolves, External Soul Bone!

A vicious glint flashed in Yu Tianqing's eyes. Before his words had even faded, he launched himself off the dirt slope.

"Martial Soul, possess!"

In midair, accompanied by a deafening burst of violent thunder, the phantom of a massive blue lightning dragon abruptly appeared behind Yu Tianqing.

Seven dazzling Soul Rings rose beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!

The terrifying pressure of a Soul Saint descended upon the clearing like the weight of Mount Tai, instantly enveloping the entire area.

The Radiant Holy Winged Dragon, which had been preparing to enjoy its spoils, suddenly raised its head. Terror flashed through its eyes as it struggled to beat its wings and flee.

But before a level seventy-three Power Attack System Soul Saint, how could a seven-hundred-year Soul Beast possibly escape? Yu Tianqing's pressure pinned it firmly in place.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianqing's right hand transformed into a massive blue lightning dragon claw and descended from the sky.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous crash, the dragon claw slammed into the Radiant Holy Winged Dragon's spine, and violent lightning instantly flooded its body.

The Radiant Holy Winged Dragon let out a mournful cry. Its entire body was crushed into the dirt, unable to move, and it was immediately left with more air going in than coming out.

Yu Tianqing had struck with remarkable restraint. Not only had he severely wounded the Soul Beast, but he had also used lightning's paralyzing properties to seal all its ability to retaliate, preventing it from detonating its Soul Ring before death or launching a final counterattack.

After doing all this, Yu Tianqing dismissed his Martial Soul and turned toward the top of the dirt slope. "Changge, come down."

Yu Shuyao brought Yu Changge down to the middle of the clearing in just a few leaps.

"This beast has been completely crippled. Changge, go and deliver the final blow."

Yu Changge nodded, took a short sword from his Soul Tool, and thrust it into the Radiant Holy Winged Dragon's eye socket, piercing straight through to its brain.

The Radiant Holy Winged Dragon stared fixedly at Yu Changge, its eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness. Its body convulsed violently a few times before finally becoming still.

A deep yellow Soul Ring rose from its body.

Yu Changge sat down cross-legged and drew the Soul Ring toward himself, beginning to absorb it. Xiao Huang guarded him from the side, looking as though it were the one absorbing the Soul Ring rather than Yu Changge.

Meanwhile, Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao stood guard nearby. Yu Tianqing took out some powder and scattered it around the area.

This powder could effectively keep certain Soul Beasts from approaching and causing trouble.

Yu Shuyao watched Yu Changge nervously. "Tianqing, do you think Changge can succeed? The test showed that Changge can withstand an eight-hundred-year Soul Ring, but it still doesn't feel quite real."

"An eight-hundred-year Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring... Then his second Soul Ring will directly be a thousand-year one..."

Yu Tianqing said reassuringly, "Nothing will happen. Your son has a tough mind. What I'm more curious about now is what kind of Soul Skill Changge will gain once he finishes absorbing it."

"And will Xiao Huang evolve because of it?"

"Our luck this time has actually been pretty good. We only spent a little over ten days before encountering a Light Attribute Sub-Dragon like this."

At this very moment, Yu Changge, who was in the midst of absorption, knew nothing about the conversation outside.

During the absorption process, he could feel with extreme clarity the terrifying pressure brought by this exceptional Soul Ring, which was nearly eight hundred years old.

That immense and violent light energy was like an unruly wild horse, rampaging through his meridians. His body endured an immensely powerful sense of compression.

Yu Changge clenched his teeth tightly, his brows drawn together as large beads of sweat continuously ran down his forehead.

Yet he never made a sound. He circulated his family's Meditation Method and continued absorbing the energy.

Soon, two hours passed.

Yu Changge's process of absorbing his First Soul Ring smoothly entered a stable phase.

And at that moment, Xiao Huang, which had been lying motionless nearby, suddenly underwent a strange change!

A faint layer of pale golden radiance began to emerge from Xiao Huang's originally purple skin!

The golden light grew brighter and brighter, eventually enveloping its entire round body and radiating a sacred aura.

Within the golden light, Xiao Huang showed no trace of pain. Instead, it narrowed its eyes with an almost human-like expression.

Seeing that their son's aura was stable and that his Martial Soul was also undergoing a positive change, Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao finally let go of the worry that had been hanging over their hearts.

However, just as they had breathed a sigh of relief, a sudden change occurred in the clearing!

"Riiip—" The sound of tearing cloth rang out.

The clothes on Yu Changge's back instantly burst apart, and golden light erupted from the shoulder blades on either side of his spine!

Then, a pair of golden wings radiating a Light Aura forcibly tore through his back!

They were unmistakably a pair of golden Dragon Wings!

"Oh my!" Yu Shuyao was utterly shocked by the sudden phenomenon.

Yu Tianqing was initially stunned by the abrupt change as well, his pupils contracting slightly.

But then, as if he had thought of something, the shock in his eyes instantly transformed into uncontrollable ecstasy. Even his heart began pounding wildly.

"Shu Yao, our son's luck is truly incredible. If I'm not mistaken, this is the legendary External Soul Bone!"

"An External Soul Bone is second only to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. It can advance alongside a Soul Master's growth and may eventually advance to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Tier."

Yu Shuyao was overjoyed upon hearing this. "So our son will have the ability to protect himself in the future. With this External Soul Bone, at the very least, if Changge encounters danger, escaping definitely won't be a problem."

Yu Tianqing nodded, his voice trembling slightly. "It seems our son really may be able to defy fate and change his destiny. Hahaha!"

Time quietly passed amid their anxious anticipation.

As Yu Changge continued to absorb the Soul Ring and the External Soul Bone more deeply, the long night finally came to an end.

A faint strip of dawn appeared in the east.

In the dim morning light, Yu Changge, who had sat cross-legged all night, finally slowly opened his eyes. He had at last completely absorbed his First Soul Ring!

Yu Changge stretched his limbs slightly. He now felt that his condition was exceptionally good.

He had not expected his luck to be so good that he would obtain an External Soul Bone. After absorbing it, he could feel that all his attributes had directly increased by fifty percent.

By this time, the Dragon Wings on Yu Changge's back had already retracted, while Xiao Huang beside him had also completed its transformation.

The current Xiao Huang was now truly worthy of its name.

The color of its outer skin had completely shed its former purple hue and turned golden yellow.

Moreover, upon looking closely from nearby, one could see that a layer of extremely faint and strange patterns had appeared across its golden-yellow skin.

Though the patterns were still quite blurry, their shapes were orderly. They were clearly the rudimentary patterns of dragon scales!
