Feels Worse Than the Paid Gacha Pool

A torso bone produced by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast could nearly contend for the title of the most valuable treasure on the entire continent!

Every soul master on the continent, even knowing that this torso bone came from a Myriad Beast Demon Spirit and could not itself be absorbed by soul masters, would still be willing to squander their entire fortune—or even kill and steal for it.

A hundred-thousand-year torso bone itself represented the ultimate allure.

Fang Yuan held such a priceless treasure in his palm, yet his mind did not stir in the slightest over its value.

His brow furrowed slightly as he began recalling his memories of this world.

As he remembered, his disciple Tang San had, in the original course of events, absorbed a torso bone produced by a million-year sea soul beast.

Fang Yuan, who knew the course of events well, naturally coveted the torso bone produced by that million-year soul beast.

However, Fang Yuan also remembered that when Tang San hunted that sea soul beast, he had relied on the power of the Sea God and the Asura God to kill the million-year soul beast, whose cultivation had reached the demi-god level.

Fang Yuan alone was undoubtedly no match for it. And if Tang San were to borrow the power of those two gods, they likely would not stand by and watch him absorb its million-year soul ring and soul bone afterward.

A million-year soul bone was certainly good, but if it was merely tempting without being realistically obtainable, Fang Yuan would not let seemingly immense profits blind him.

Having thought this through, Fang Yuan no longer hesitated. He directly pressed the hundred-thousand-year torso bone in his hand against his body.

The instant the soul bone touched his body, the trait of the Supreme Immortal Embryo Physique activated once more. The soul bone instantly transformed into a scorching energy that enveloped Fang Yuan's torso.

As the soul bone was absorbed, Fang Yuan's expression suddenly turned strange.

He could feel that after obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, his physical constitution had received an enormous boost.

Moreover, just as he had guessed, the soul bone had granted him the abilities of two Gu insects as well.

Except...

Fang Yuan's expression changed several times before finally settling into a bitter smile.

"I never expected that, unlike soul rings, the Gu insect powers granted to me by soul bones would be beyond my control—completely random."

Feeling the powers of the two Gu insects the soul bone had forcibly granted him, Fang Yuan felt deeply conflicted.

"Regret Gu is quite useful, but I really can't think of any use for it right now. Still, compared with the other Gu insect, it is undoubtedly far more normal.

"This damned soul bone actually gave me the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Gu as the other Gu insect! Is this a joke?!"

Fang Yuan's expression was caught somewhere between laughter and tears, but inwardly, he nearly cursed aloud.

The Yin-Yang Reincarnation Gu had originally been a pair of Gu insects, one yin and one yang, circling and chasing each other like a ball of Tai Chi light.

Yet after becoming Fang Yuan's soul bone skill, the two had merged into one, becoming a single Yin-Yang Reincarnation Gu.

Fang Yuan knew that this was a phenomenon that would only occur after the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Gu had advanced from mortal Gu to immortal Gu.

When both were mortal Gu, yin and yang remained separate, clearly distinct from one another. But after advancing from mortal to immortal, yin and yang complemented each other and fused into one.

The ability of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Gu was that, when yin and yang power were used simultaneously, it could return someone from another state of life back into a human body.

For example, if a person had been refined into something like a zombie or puppet, the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Gu could restore them to human form.

If only the Yin Gu or Yang Gu was used, however, the effect was simpler.

The Yin Gu could turn a man into a woman, while the Yang Gu could turn a woman into a man.

In a sense, its effect could be called heaven-defying, but it could also be called utterly useless.

Without question, this effect was practically useless to Fang Yuan.

Back in his previous life, when he still lived in the Gu World, obtaining an extra immortal Gu for free would naturally have been something worth celebrating.

But now that he was on the Douluo Continent, it was hard to say whether this was fortunate or unfortunate.

Fang Yuan did not possess twin martial souls, and his skill slots were extremely limited. It could be said that every soul skill slot was quite important.

Compared to the countless immortal Gu he had possessed in his previous life, his Gu insect slots on this continent were in extremely short supply.

Yet under such circumstances, one of the skills from his hundred-thousand-year soul bone had turned out to be Yin-Yang Reincarnation!

To maximize his gains, Fang Yuan had never absorbed a soul bone before this. His original intention had been to gather a full set of hundred-thousand-year soul bones and maximize his Gu insect skills.

That was also why he had never known that, unlike soul ring skills that he could choose himself, the skills attached to soul bones were completely random.

This discovery gave Fang Yuan a massive headache.

After spending some effort consoling himself, Fang Yuan finally accepted the fact.

Even so, what he needed to do next had not changed. He still had to ensure that all the soul bones on his body were, as much as possible, hundred-thousand-year ones.

Even with card draws, the odds of pulling gold in two draws were far greater than in just one.

Fang Yuan accepted reality very quickly. Since things had already come to this, there was no need to waste his thoughts on it.

Now, his goal in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest could be considered accomplished.

He had obtained both the hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone, while the beast carcass of the Myriad Beast Demon Spirit beneath his feet contained the blood essence and resentment of countless soul beasts, making it utterly worthless.

With that, he had obtained all the spoils of battle and could leave.

However, Fang Yuan had no intention of leaving just yet.

His gaze turned in another direction. Far away, several people were staring at him with utter horror in their eyes.

Meng Shu felt that his worldview had been overturned.

That mysterious young man had killed a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in an instant. The sheer strength he possessed was unimaginable.

What was more, he had immediately begun absorbing that soul beast's soul ring.

Even though the soul beast had previously said that the energy in the soul ring it produced was impure and could not be absorbed, the young man had remained utterly fearless and acted without hesitation.

The speed at which he absorbed the soul ring made Meng Shu feel as if he were dreaming. He had absorbed it completely in an instant. Was that even humanly possible?

That was a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

Before absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, what level-ninety powerhouse did not gather a group of Title Douluo to stand guard and make every possible preparation? Even then, failure was far more common than success.

Yet that young man had absorbed the soul ring completely in the blink of an eye?

At that moment, Meng Shu felt as if he were no longer among the living.

That was too sinister, brother. Too sinister.

When he saw the young man finish absorbing the soul ring and turn his gaze directly toward their location, even a veteran of the soul master world like Meng Shu could not help feeling a chill run through his entire body.

"Go, quickly!"

He shuddered, vaguely feeling as though something even more terrifying than a hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast had fixed its eyes on him. He hurriedly urged Chao Tianxiang and his granddaughter, Meng Yiran, beside him.
