Arm Bone Overhaul! Darkgold Terror Claw Right Palm Bone!

Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, though also one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, was the one most affected by external factors.

Although the world of Under One Person had Outcasts, it still belonged to modern Blue Star society, where the available materials were nothing more than ordinary ones.

But Douluo Continent was different. Countless mystical ores, soul beast materials, and natural treasures existed there. A Self-Cultivation Furnace forged from such materials would naturally be far more powerful.

With that thought, Lin Ya exerted a slight force with his palm and tossed the Darkgold Terror Claw Right Arm Bone straight into the Self-Cultivation Furnace before him.

Watching the furnace opening slowly close, anticipation and tension flashed through his eyes as he could not help muttering inwardly:

"Self-Cultivation Furnace, let me see where your limits lie."

Soul power surged into it wildly. The ancient furnace body let out a thunderous hum, and pale golden soul flames instantly swept over the bone, wrapping it tightly.

As the furnace flames churned, the entire right arm bone melted and reshaped under the searing heat and refinement of soul power. Dark golden streams of light darted wildly within, while all excess bone joints and impurities dissolved away, leaving only the most essential core to condense without pause.

Lin Ya stared intently at the furnace's center and muttered, "The Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear's strongest parts are its palms and claws. A two-thousand-year arm bone is nothing worth mentioning, but if it were a palm bone... that would be an external soul bone!"

With his soul power driven to its limit, the furnace's glow abruptly contracted after only a few breaths.

A right palm bone, dark gold throughout and patterned as though forged by the gods, floated quietly within the furnace. Its ferocious aura soared skyward, and its sharpness seemed almost capable of piercing space itself.

"Hahaha! It worked! It worked! This Daoist master did it!"

Lin Ya grabbed the soul bone in one swift motion, his heart pounding wildly.

A two-thousand-year Darkgold Terror Claw Right Arm Bone had been directly transformed into a Darkgold Terror Claw Right Palm Bone!

The age limit of ordinary soul bones was fixed, but external soul bones could grow alongside their masters. Their value far surpassed that of ordinary ten-thousand-year soul bones and even exceeded ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul bones!

He did not hesitate any longer. Sitting cross-legged, he pressed the palm bone against his right hand.

Buzz—!

A wave of dark golden light exploded outward as the soul bone transformed into a stream of light and merged directly into his body.

His bones crackled as they reformed. Agonizing pain and wild joy surged through him at once, while countless profound pieces of information flooded his mind. Beneath his palm, a vicious dark golden Terror Claw mark slowly emerged.

Lin Ya abruptly opened his eyes, soul power boiling within him!

Soul bone skill—Darkgold Terror Claw!

With a thought, he swung his right hand through the air!

Rip—!

Five dark golden claw lights, each ten meters long, tore through the air and struck the bluestone wall ahead in an instant.

The stone wall, hard as iron, was effortlessly torn apart like tofu. Five deep claw marks, smooth as mirrors, scarred its surface, while the remaining force plowed several meters of vicious trenches across the ground, sending dust flying everywhere.

"Too strong!"

A startling light burst from Lin Ya's eyes.

Previously, all his combat power had depended on Spirit Binding and General Summoning, leaving him without any means of frontal attack. This Darkgold Terror Claw directly made up for his greatest weakness!

From now on, he could crush enemies head-on and clash directly with powerful foes!

Tap tap tap tap.

Four figures stood on tiptoe and peered inside through the crack Lin Ya had blasted into the wall.

Seeing the figures outside, Lin Ya waved them over and called out:

"Liu Huang, Xiao Shi, Mu Tan, Bai Tang, you four, get in here! Your young master has something good for you!"

Upon hearing Lin Ya's call, the four-man demolition crew suddenly felt a chill run down their backs. Still, they obediently walked inside and bowed.

"Young Master, what are your orders?"

Pointing at the Self-Cultivation Furnace, Lin Ya said, "Jump in. I'll refine you a little."

"What?!" The four immediately turned pale, and Bai Tang, the most timid of them, nearly burst into tears.

"Young Master, what did we do wrong? Are you going to kill us? Even if we have to die, can I choose a more comfortable way to go? Burning to death hurts way too much."

Bai Tang looked at Lin Ya aggrievedly, having no idea how she had offended him.

Lin Ya rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Who said anything about burning you to death? If I remember correctly, all of you were born with rank 0.5 soul power, and your soul power has been stuck at rank 29 without being able to break through, right? Now, I'm giving you that chance! Jump in! I guarantee you'll break through to rank 30! Then this young master will teach you a cultivation technique and give you hope of becoming Soul Kings!"

Breaking through to rank 30!!!

The four exchanged looks, each seeing the same disbelief in the others' eyes.

Although Douluo Continent had nearly a hundred thousand soul masters, more than half of them remained stuck at the rank 29 bottleneck for their entire lives, unable to break through.

This was not something cultivation techniques or hard work could change.

Yu Xiaogang had a good family background, didn't he? And he worked hard enough, didn't he? Yet even at forty, he still could not break through rank 30.

In the end, he only broke through thanks to Tang San's Nine Grade Purple Ganoderma.

Yet Lin Ya did not need any immortal-grade spiritual herbs. He only needed to put someone into the Self-Cultivation Furnace and refine them a little.

For those without soul power to gain soul power, and for those at rank 29 to break through to rank 30, these things were no longer dreams.

Though the four were excited, they were still afraid at the end of the day. That was only human nature.

Who would not be afraid upon hearing they were about to be thrown into a furnace?

After a long while, it was Bai Tang, the most timid of them all, who stepped forward.

"It was Young Master who gave me this life! If Young Master needs it, I... I'll give it to Young Master!"

"What are you saying?! I, Liu Huang, am a dignified eight-foot-tall man! How could I let a little girl like you go first?!"

"You're barely seven feet at most! I, Mu Tan, am the real eight-footer!"

"Oh, give it a rest! Look at that big dark face of yours—of course I should go first for something like this! I'm Young Master's loyal subject!"

Watching the four of them actually start fighting over it, Lin Ya felt helpless. With a sweep of his hand, he grabbed Liu Huang and tossed him into the Self-Cultivation Furnace.

"Off you go!"

With that, Lin Ya turned around and immediately began refining.

Bai Tang and the other two hurriedly stared at the Self-Cultivation Furnace. Though they believed Lin Ya would not harm them, they would still be afraid if it hurt too much.

However, the miserable screams they had expected never came. Instead, they heard a comfortable moan.

"Ah~"

Hearing that sound, the trio finally relaxed and began whispering among themselves:

Mu Tan: "Do you think Liu Huang can really break through to level 30?"

Bai Tang: "I believe in Young Master! If Young Master says he can, then he definitely can!"

Xiao Shi: "I believe in Young Master too, but we all know that trash like us, born with only 0.5-level soul power, have inherently incomplete martial souls. We're destined never to break through level 29. Young Master is incredibly capable, but can he heal martial souls?"

Bai Tang: "I believe in Young Master! If Young Master says he can, then he definitely can!"

Liu Huang: "Damn it, Bai Tang! Can you stop repeating the same sentence over and over?! Forget it, forget it. I can't communicate with a lovestruck fool like you."

Ignoring their whispered discussion, Lin Ya had already focused all his attention on Liu Huang inside the Self-Cultivation Furnace.

"Repairing Liu Huang's martial soul is easy enough, but is it possible to fuse in the power of soul beasts and thereby improve the quality of his martial soul?"

An ordinary Self-Cultivation Furnace could turn someone incapable of cultivation into an Outcast. This one was an evolved version enhanced with all sorts of materials!

"For example, Wang Sheng's martial soul is an ordinary tiger. If I add the power of a Wind Tiger or Ghost Tiger, could I make it evolve?"

Lin Ya felt that it seemed possible.

It was just that he did not have suitable materials on hand for now.
