Amplification Soul Skill, Right Leg... Palm Bone?

When the dust finally settled, the dagger in Su Ge's hand was stained with blood—some his own, but most of it belonging to the Lion-Tiger Beast.

He looked at the Lion-Tiger Beast lying on the ground, having completely lost its breath, and the thousand-year soul ring hovering silently above it.

A look of relief finally appeared on Su Ge's blood-spattered face.

He did not delay, first dragging the carcass of the Lion-Tiger Beast into the tiger den, then dragging the Diamond Tiger's carcass inside as well.

Deep within the cave, Su Ge placed the Diamond Tiger's body down. He hid behind the carcass, settling into the depths of the cave to recover his state and prepare for absorbing the soul ring.

When a pair of golden eyes opened in the dark cave, Su Ge looked at the soul ring above the Lion-Tiger Beast and began to absorb it, following the methods recorded in the books.

The age is estimated to be between three thousand five hundred and three thousand eight hundred years. With the bloodline suppression of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, absorbing this soul ring should not be a problem...

Su Ge sat cross-legged, his martial soul manifesting once again.

His entire consciousness focused on his Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff martial soul, guiding the soul ring of the Lion-Tiger Beast.

As the purple soul ring slowly descended onto Su Ge, it gradually enveloped him.

"Roar—!"

Just as the Lion-Tiger Beast's soul ring was about to shrink violently and resist Su Ge's absorption, a roar from his Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff martial soul echoed silently through the cave.

The thousand-year soul ring seemed to have suffered a major blow, suddenly becoming docile.

The soul ring settled onto him obediently. There was no pressure, only a continuous stream of energy pouring into his body, effortlessly shattering the bottleneck within him!

Su Ge had been prepared to endure pressure to cope with the pain of absorbing a soul ring.

But after the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff exerted its power, he felt no pressure at all; everything proceeded extremely smoothly.

Is this what it feels like to not have to endure pressure?

Feeling the heat flowing through his body, his soul power, which had not been very abundant, began to grow steadily.

Although Su Ge was somewhat excited, he suppressed it for the moment, focusing entirely on absorbing the soul ring.

When he opened his eyes again, night had already fallen. Everything around him was pitch black, yet it could not hide the brilliance in his eyes!

Although it was late, he could clearly feel that his body had grown taller and developed to a certain extent due to the absorption of the soul ring.

Of course, these were secondary; more importantly...

"I actually succeeded in inheriting the Lion-Tiger Beast's combat burst ability!"

Su Ge raised his hands, and a purple soul ring emerged from his body, pulsing rhythmically.

He clenched his fists tightly and activated his first soul skill. His golden hair, flowing from his martial soul manifestation, rose without a breeze!

His aura surged violently. The effect of the soul ring, a three-fold increase in all attributes, was unleashed, raising Su Ge's actual combat power by a significant margin!

Feeling the power surging within him, Su Ge felt that if he had to do it again, he wouldn't even need to lure the Diamond Tiger to exhaust the Lion-Tiger Beast!

Even if the ten-thousand-year Diamond Tiger and the Lion-Tiger Beast attacked together, he could handle them with ease!

"Although the first soul skill only has an amplification effect, a three-hundred-percent increase in all attributes can last until my soul power is exhausted."

"For a first soul ring, such a skill effect is absolutely top-tier."

Su Ge deactivated his first soul skill, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

He felt that he could challenge not just a five-ring Soul King, but perhaps even a Soul Emperor!

This conclusion was not baseless, nor was it blind confidence born from a sudden surge in power; it came from his domain.

"This effect can not only be used at higher levels, but after activating the Dominator Domain, the soul ring effect will also be amplified by fifty percent."

"Calculating it that way, the amplification effect from just my first soul ring will reach a terrifying four hundred and fifty percent!"

Su Ge had originally worried about what to do without a decisive burst method, but thinking of this terrifying amplification, he instantly stopped worrying.

Who needs attack methods? Pure numerical suppression is the best burst method!

"In that case, I shall call this first soul skill the Suanni Transformation."

Su Ge had originally wanted to call it the Lion-Tiger Transformation, but the name lacked a certain flair. After some thought, he decided to use the name of the Suanni.

"This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest can be considered a complete success. After scavenging for some useful items, I can head back."

Looking at the two soul beast carcasses in the cave, he couldn't guarantee his luck, but since the Diamond Tiger was killed while searching for its offspring and the Lion-Tiger Beast was killed by his schemes, both beasts had the potential to produce soul bones.

No sooner said than done, Su Ge took out the dagger again and began to systematically examine the carcasses of the two soul beasts, removing anything of value.

Processing carcasses without the reinforcement of soul power was not difficult. Even though he wasn't particularly skilled at anatomy, he still managed to harvest quite a bit of loot.

Tiger skin, tiger teeth, tiger heart, tiger waist, tiger...

When he reached the final piece of loot, Su Ge paused for a moment, then calmly wrapped two items in tiger skin and tucked them into his storage ring.

These things were worth a lot of money, especially coming from tiger-type soul beasts of such age and bloodline; they were priceless.

"Is it possible that there really is an element of luck involved in producing soul bones, beyond specific conditions?"

While processing the two carcasses, Su Ge had not found any trace of soul bones as he had hoped.

Just as he was about to finish excavating the bones of the Lion-Tiger Beast, his movements stopped, for a golden luster had appeared in his line of sight!

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his movements quickened as he extracted the golden object completely!

"Is this a leg bone? Or a palm bone?"

Su Ge looked at the crystal-clear golden soul bone he had extracted from the right paw of the Lion-Tiger Beast. It didn't look like a right leg bone at all.

"Could it be an external soul bone?"

If he remembered correctly, there had been cases in the original work where the palm bone of an Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear appeared, which fell into the category of external soul bones.

However, he had no memory of a paw bone.

"Never mind, I'll keep it for now and decide whether to absorb it after I confirm what it is."

Although he knew that a soul bone of the same origin might amplify soul skills, if it really was a leg bone, a three-thousand-year-old leg bone was not as useful to him as a hundred-thousand-year-old one. Even if it were a perfect fit, he wouldn't do it.
