My Martial Soul Picks Up Equipment on Its Own, External Soul Bone: Six-Winged Flamewings

She Xian's heart tightened as he quickly converted the information into his own "martial soul perception."

"Teacher, my martial soul sensed it."

He pointed at the nest entrance hidden in the darkness ahead. "It's in that cave."

Qian Renxue looked in the direction he pointed, her golden eyes narrowing slightly.

She tilted her head and glanced at She Long.

Her gaze was calm.

She Long understood instantly.

"I'll deal with these bugs."

The old man stepped forward, and his aura changed abruptly.

The pressure of a level ninety-two Titled Douluo crashed down like an overturned mountain, crushing the entire valley floor.

Soul power swept out from his body in the form of a tangible storm.

The ten-year Flamewing Centipedes exploded on the spot, the hundred-year ones convulsed and collapsed, and even the thousand-year ones struggled for a few seconds before falling still.

The entire process took less than three breaths.

All that remained on the ground was a field of crimson carcasses and a spreading stench of charred flesh.

She Xian gave his grandfather a thumbs-up in his heart.

This was a Titled Douluo, an existence standing at the top of the Douluo Continent's food chain.

Crushing low-level soul beasts was no different from crushing ants.

But it was not over yet.

Boom—!!

The nest entrance exploded from within.

Rubble flew everywhere!

A wave of heat surged forth!

A massive figure burst from beneath the earth.

It was a gigantic centipede.

No, it could no longer simply be called a centipede.

It was nearly fifty feet long, its entire body dark red, with magma-like patterns flowing across its shell.

Most terrifying of all were the six enormous flaming wings on its back, blazing fiercely and warping the surrounding air with their heat.

The Six-Winged Flamewing Centipede!

A twenty-thousand-year soul beast!

Its eyes were wide with fury,

its hundreds of segmented legs flailing madly.

Clearly, She Long's slaughter of its entire nest of offspring had driven it completely enraged.

She Long's expression finally changed slightly.

"A ten-thousand-year soul beast?"

One of his brows rose.

He was somewhat surprised, but that was all.

A twenty-thousand-year soul beast was a nightmare to ordinary soul masters.

But before a level ninety-two Titled Douluo, it was still just insignificant fodder.

Purple light surged from She Long's right hand, and a massive serpent spear glowing in violet and cyan condensed out of thin air.

This was his martial soul, the Violet-Cyan Serpent Spear.

Nine soul rings lit up in succession, their radiance illuminating the entire rift.

Screee!

As a ten-thousand-year soul beast, the Six-Winged Flamewing Centipede possessed intelligence far beyond that of ordinary beasts.

It sensed that crushing pressure.

Its six flaming wings suddenly spread wide as it tried to flee.

"Beast, where do you think you're going!"

She Long took a step forward.

The Violet-Cyan Serpent Spear thrust straight ahead.

There was no flashy soul skill, nor any unnecessary movement.

Just one thrust.

Pshht!

The spear tip pierced through the flaming storm, through the Six-Winged Flamewing Centipede's shell, and through its entire body.

The fifty-foot giant centipede was nailed to the ground by the Violet-Cyan Serpent Spear.

The flames on its six wings gradually dimmed, and its enormous body slowly stopped twitching.

When a black soul ring appeared, it signified that its life had come to an end.

She Xian stared dumbfounded.

A twenty-thousand-year soul beast, killed in one thrust?

Grandpa was awesome!

Qian Renxue remained calm, clearly unsurprised by the outcome.

She turned to She Xian. "Are you certain the sensation came from within that nest? Do you need Elder She Long to break it open?"

Just as She Xian was about to answer, Medusa Queen's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Not in the nest."

"Behind that centipede."

She Xian froze.

Before he could react, the purple serpent-shaped Medusa on his right arm moved on her own.

The purple snake formed by Medusa slithered down from his arm and swiftly glided along the ground toward the Six-Winged Flamewing Centipede's corpse.

Qian Renxue and She Long frowned at the same time.

A martial soul leaving its host and moving on its own?

Such a thing was unheard of!

The mysteries surrounding She Xian were growing ever more numerous.

Medusa slithered behind the Six-Winged Flamewing Centipede's corpse, lowering her snake head as though she had bitten onto something.

Through his connection with Medusa, She Xian could sense that she had swallowed a small ring embedded behind the centipede.

At the same time, the purple snake picked up something else in her mouth.

A... bone?

A bone shaped like six flaming wings.

It was dark red throughout, with fine fiery patterns flowing across its surface, radiating scorching heat and dense soul power fluctuations.

The purple snake swiftly slithered back with the bone in her mouth.

She climbed back onto She Xian's arm, coiled her body, and dropped the six-winged bone into his palm.

Then the purple snake transformed into light and vanished, returning to his body.

She Xian now held a bone shaped like flaming wings.

Before he could inspect it closely, he heard She Long's startled cry.

"An external soul bone?!"

The old man's eyes widened.

He rushed forward in two strides, his gaze fixed firmly on the bone in She Xian's hand.

"Six-winged form... flowing fire patterns... this is the external soul bone of a twenty-thousand-year Six-Winged Flamewing Centipede!"

She Long's voice trembled.

On the Douluo Continent, soul bones were already priceless treasures that could only be encountered by chance.

External soul bones were among the rarest kinds of soul bones.

They did not occupy any of the six main soul bone slots, effectively granting the benefits of an extra soul bone.

Their value was second only to hundred-thousand-year soul bones!

Even Qian Renxue's golden eyes flickered faintly, her gaze lingering on the soul bone for a moment.

She Long came back to his senses and immediately gave She Xian a shove.

"Xian'er! What are you standing around for? Quickly present the external soul bone to the Young Mistress!"

"Ah? Oh, right!"

She Xian was just about to move.

"No need." Qian Renxue spoke calmly, her voice clear and cool.

"His martial soul's perception led us here, and Elder She Long was the one who killed the soul beast. This opportunity belonged to him in the first place."

Her gaze moved away from the soul bone, her golden eyes tranquil and unruffled. "I have no habit of stealing another person's opportunity."

She Long froze, then was overjoyed. "Xian'er, hurry and thank the Young Mistress!"

She Xian immediately bowed. "This disciple thanks Teacher for granting me this opportunity!"

Fireworks were already going off in his heart.

An external soul bone!

And a twenty-thousand-year external soul bone at that!

On top of that, Medusa had already swallowed the storage ring.

This trip had been insanely profitable.

Qian Renxue calmly accepted his bow.

Then her tone shifted.

"More importantly than the soul bone, Xian'er, have you recovered the missing part of your martial soul?"

She looked at She Xian, curiosity gleaming in her beautiful eyes.

She Xian had long prepared an excuse for this.

He raised a hand and scratched the back of his head, putting on a rather bewildered expression.

"Um... I think I have?"

"That sense of something missing from my martial soul has disappeared."

After a pause, he added, "But this disciple cannot explain exactly what changes will happen."

After saying that, he tilted his head, his face full of confusion.

Qian Renxue's deep gaze studied him.

She faintly felt that things were not so simple.

This child's martial soul had been able to accurately sense this rift and this nest.

Even the actions of that purple serpent martial soul named Medusa Queen defied all common sense.

But She Xian's stance of knowing nothing no matter what she asked left her with no way to press further.

"So be it."

Qian Renxue withdrew her gaze.

"If you sense any adverse changes in the future, tell me immediately."

"This disciple understands." She Xian nodded obediently.

She Xian carefully put away the warm external soul bone in his hand.

Then Qian Renxue carried him as they flew toward the top of the gorge.

Medusa Queen's voice sounded in his mind.

"This Queen has finally recovered her things."

For once, there was a trace of satisfaction in her words.

Little White immediately followed with, "Husband was so amazing today."

"What does it have to do with him?"

"If it weren't for Husband, Sister wouldn't have been able to find them, right?"

"...Shut up!"

"And don't call this Queen Sister."
