External Soul Bone! The Second Form of the Heavenly Edge Eye

Sea of Consciousness.

"Soul impact? Interesting!"

Absorbing a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring would inevitably bring a soul impact. This came from the resentment of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before its death. Yet Su Sanjia showed no concern. Having lived two lives, perhaps this was one small advantage of being a transmigrator. With the memories of his previous life combined with this life's body, Su Sanjia's Sea of Consciousness was far greater than that of an ordinary person. Its current strength was no weaker than that of some top-tier Soul Emperors. What waves could a Soul Beast barely past ten thousand years possibly stir up?

Sure enough, the resentment of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had some substance to it, but not much. Su Sanjia quickly wore it away, and his absorption of the Soul Ring entered its final stage.

The shackles within his body shattered, and his Soul Power rapidly rose.

It finally stopped at level 43!

There were many reasons for this. The most obvious was that the sheer amount of Soul Power contained in a Ten-Thousand-Year fourth Soul Ring was enormous. Secondly, it was because of Su Sanjia's body—he had absorbed nearly all of that Soul Power completely!

Just when Su Sanjia thought everything was over, his Soul Power, which had already reached level 43, surged once more!

It was still rising!

Su Sanjia swiftly steadied his mind and began absorbing this sudden additional burst of Soul Power. Who knew how long passed before his Soul Power, which had only just entered level 43, reached level 44. It was even at the peak of level 44, just a step away from level 45!

What was going on?

Su Sanjia was thoroughly confused.

Yet the discomfort coming from his forehead seemed to be announcing an incredible answer.

Could it be...

By the time Su Sanjia opened his eyes, it was already the morning of the second day. The sunlight was somewhat dazzling as it shone over him, warm and comfortable. Su Sanjia let out a long breath and stretched with all his strength. A series of crackling sounds, like beans popping in a pan, rang out from within his body. When he opened his eyes and looked at the world, Su Sanjia froze.

Clear—exceptionally clear!

The strange sensation between his brows had never gone away!

"Brother Sanjia, you're awake?"

Oscar cried out in delighted surprise. Everyone swarmed over, and only then did Su Sanjia notice that Xiao Wu had returned at some point. She and Tang San were huddled together, acting lovey-dovey. With his sharp senses, he detected a strange fluctuation of Soul Power behind Tang San as well, somewhat similar to what he felt between his own brows.

And...

"Brother Sanjia, what is your fourth Soul Skill like?"

Su Sanjia looked at Oscar. Oscar had not opened his mouth, yet he had clearly heard that voice. When he came to his senses, he saw Oscar open his mouth again.

"Brother Sanjia, what is your fourth Soul Skill like?"

Su Sanjia blanked out slightly. A moment later, a strange sound came from his throat. Everyone looked at one another in confusion, until Su Sanjia threw his head back and burst into laughter!

Just as expected—such a familiar power!

Observation Haki Awakening—Future Sight!

He could now see what would happen within the next five seconds. It was an advanced application of Observation Haki from another world. Although five seconds sounded short, clearly knowing an opponent's attack trajectory five seconds in advance during combat was an absurdly huge improvement. Moreover, this ability would continuously extend alongside the growth of his strength and his development of Observation Haki. In that other world, it was General's Bearing. In this world, it was the bearing of invincibility!

And that wasn't all!

With a thought from Su Sanjia, the looks everyone gave him gradually shifted from confusion to shock.

A prism-shaped golden crystal, roughly the size of an adult's pinky finger, appeared between Su Sanjia's brows. Several tiny crystal fragments appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"Th-this Soul Power fluctuation? A-another External Soul Bone?!"

Zhao Wuji cried out in shock.

It was no wonder he was stunned. In just one short day, two of his students—one who had absorbed a third Soul Ring and one who had absorbed a fourth Soul Ring—had both obtained an External Soul Bone! Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, and Su Sanjia's Heavenly Edge Eye! (I'm terrible at naming things. If anyone has a better name, feel free to suggest it—it can be changed.)

"Another?"

Su Sanjia raised a brow and looked at Tang San with a deliberately shocked expression. Tang San returned it with an exceedingly friendly smile.

"Brother Sanjia, congratulations!"

Tang San's attitude toward Su Sanjia had completely changed. Whether it was Su Sanjia's sense of responsibility when facing the Titan Giant Ape or his guarding Tang San while he absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider, Tang San had remembered it all. From this point on, he truly regarded the people of Shrek Academy as his own. The minor conflicts he had once had with Su Sanjia during the freshman assessment had long since vanished. Now, he felt even closer to Su Sanjia than to the others.

"Not bad, Xiao San!"

Su Sanjia patted Tang San on the shoulder. He had not expected this External Soul Bone. Although both he and Tang San had obtained one, they were completely different.

Tang San needed the Soul Power pressure of a high-level Soul Master to help him fully absorb the External Soul Bone. Su Sanjia did not. He could endure this External Soul Bone completely, thanks to his terrifying Soul Power absorption ability. He likely only needed a day or two of cultivation before it would fully merge into his body.

And his was a Ten-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone! Besides allowing his Observation Haki to break through, it had greatly enhanced his eyesight and spiritual power. As for its active Soul Skill, Su Sanjia was especially interested.

Intimidation! Actively release an aura to suppress enemies whose Soul Power Level was no more than one major realm above his own, reducing their attributes by 20%.

This already had the beginnings of a domain. More importantly, that was how it seemed to the natives of Douluo Continent. But to Su Sanjia, who possessed the power of another world as his advantage, the Soul Skill innate to the Heavenly Edge Eye made him think of another skill—one he did not possess: Conqueror's Haki!

This was an opportunity, a stepping stone!

"Brother Sanjia, you still haven't answered me. What exactly is your fourth Soul Skill?"

Oscar spoke up again. Zhao Wuji, who had originally wanted to urge everyone to leave quickly, also stopped moving. Who could resist being curious about a Ten-Thousand-Year fourth Soul Skill?

"My fourth Soul Skill? You'll find out soon enough. But our top priority right now is getting out of here. Something is very wrong with the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest today. First the Titan Giant Ape, then the Skysharp Golden Eagle..."

Knowing the plot, Su Sanjia knew that Dragon Duke would soon arrive here with Meng Yiran and Chao Tianxiang. Their target would be the Man Faced Demon Spider Tang San had absorbed. Although they had not noticed Tang San's External Soul Bone in the original story, Su Sanjia did not know whether his arrival might cause an accident.

Zhao Wuji nodded. They would learn about that Soul Skill sooner or later, and Su Sanjia had a point. The Star Dou Great Forest had indeed been rather unusual these past two days.

"Alright, little monsters, back to the academy first! We can talk after we return!"

Zhao Wuji led the group away, and everyone could only follow. What puzzled Su Sanjia, however, was that on the way back, nearly everyone drifted closer to him.

Oscar was easy enough to understand. He was a food-type Soul Master and also had the best relationship with him. Tang San and Xiao Wu made sense too. In Tang San's eyes, Su Sanjia had helped him and was someone worth befriending. Ma Hongjun... fine, that could still be explained. But what was up with the rest of you?

Ning Rongrong tugged Zhu Zhuqing along, and both girls' eyes were full of curiosity. Ning Rongrong in particular looked at Su Sanjia with sparkling eyes. Dai Mubai forced a smile and actually took the initiative to look for topics to chat about...

Su Sanjia: ...

Feeling rather uncomfortable, Su Sanjia found it strange. To avoid this situation—and to satisfy his own mischievous amusement—the Heavenly Edge Eye emerged. Under his control of Soul Power, its form changed until it finally became a pair of sunglasses...

"Speaking of that Titan Giant Ape,"

"It was so scary!"
