Coiling Dragon Staff Exposes My Identity? But I Still Have the Sky-Piercing Spear!

Fusing a Spirit Bone was much faster than absorbing a Spirit Ring.

Moreover, this was a life-attribute Spirit Bone, making the fusion even smoother.

The Spirit Bone began merging into Ye Han's right leg.

A warm, spring-like force instantly surged in, far gentler than Ye Han had expected.

The blue-gold radiance slowly sank into his body, and the stone chamber returned to darkness.

Ye Han closed his eyes and completely immersed himself in the process of fusing the Spirit Bone...

Time passed second by second.

An hour later.

The blue-gold glow had completely withdrawn into his body.

Ye Han opened his eyes.

A stream of information entered his mind. It was about the Spirit Bone's abilities.

Sure enough, the Spirit Bone came with two abilities.

One was low-consumption flight.

The other was a powerful regenerative ability.

Ye Han stood up and stretched his limbs.

He felt much lighter.

His Soul Power had risen another two levels, reaching Level Forty-Eight.

This hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had not only granted him powerful vitality, but also significantly strengthened his spiritual power.

Ye Han could not help but smile.

Tang Hao, Tang Hao.

You idiot, you left something this good lying around instead of carrying it with you.

Well, look where that got you.

But if you had carried it with you, you probably would have felt guilty too, right?

To obtain Spirit Bones, you slaughtered countless Soul Beasts.

Your Clear Sky Hammer had long been stained with the blood of innumerable living beings.

The Blue Silver Emperor might have been part of your schemes as well.

You brought this fate upon yourself.

Serves you right!

Ye Han put the empty lead box back into his Seven-Star Dragon-Pattern Belt. It might come in handy someday.

Then he turned and quickly left the stone chamber, passing through the waterfall and landing beside the pool.

At the top of the cliff, Demon Subduing Douluo sat cross-legged, faint bloody baleful energy swirling around him.

Ye Han released the right leg bone and felt out its new power.

With a slight exertion of his right leg, his entire body shot into the air. He became a streak of light and arrived on the other side of the cliff top.

He did not disturb Demon Subduing Douluo. With a light leap, he landed steadily beside the pool.

Only an hour later did Demon Subduing Douluo awaken from cultivation and descend as a streak of light.

"Kid, are we going somewhere else?"

"No."

"What, you're not looking for what you came for anymore?"

"Mm. I don't have any leads for now. I'll look again later."

Demon Subduing Douluo chuckled.

"Then let's stay here for another couple of days. That Bloodthirsty Berserk Right Leg Bone invigorates the blood and boosts vitality. It's greatly benefiting my cultivation. I feel like I'm about to break through my bottleneck. It should happen within the next few days."

"That's wonderful! I'm not in a hurry. We can leave after you break through."

Three mornings later.

The sky had not fully brightened, and the waterfall above the pool still roared like thunder.

Ye Han was awakened by an extremely violent aura.

He flipped over and sat up inside his tent, looking upward.

At the top of the cliff, golden-red light shot into the heavens.

The aura was profound and scorching, carrying an almost frenzied fighting intent. Even the air was warped by its pressure, while the mist scattered in all directions.

Feeling that oppressive force, Ye Han secretly marveled.

Demon Subduing Douluo's bottleneck had finally broken!

The bloody light continued for roughly the time it took to burn an incense stick before gradually subsiding.

Immediately afterward, a burst of laughter rang out from the cliff.

Though aged, the voice was vigorous and powerful, making echoes resound endlessly through the valley.

Just as Ye Han was about to fly up, a figure suddenly flashed down before him.

Demon Subduing Douluo landed steadily beside the pool.

His eyes gleamed brightly, and his entire bearing was completely different from three days ago.

"Kid! I broke through! I finally broke through! I've reached Level Ninety-Seven, haha~~~~"

Demon Subduing Douluo grinned and laughed.

Level Ninety-Seven was already among the very strongest levels of power on this continent.

Among the seven great worshippers of the Worship Hall, only Level Ninety-Nine Qian Daoliu, Level Ninety-Eight Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Level Ninety-Seven Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo possessed greater Soul Power than him.

But in terms of actual combat strength, Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo were likely no longer his match.

Because after breaking through his Soul Power bottleneck, the first form of the Unyielding Staff Technique, Battle Heaven and Earth, had also come to fruition.

"Grandpa Demon Subduing, congratulations! Your strength has risen to another level!"

"Haha~~ Not only has my Soul Power reached Level Ninety-Seven, Battle Heaven and Earth has also succeeded!"

As Demon Subduing Douluo spoke, he could not help releasing his Coiling Dragon Staff.

The dragon patterns coiled around the staff seemed to come alive beneath the golden-red bloody glow, their scales and claws flexing as though they were about to burst free from the weapon.

Demon Subduing Douluo slammed the long staff onto the ground.

Boom!

A muffled blast rang out.

The ground beneath their feet trembled.

The pool erupted with columns of water several zhang high.

Then Demon Subduing Douluo's figure flickered. Before his afterimage had dispersed, his true body had already appeared dozens of zhang away in midair.

He spread his arms, sweeping the Coiling Dragon Staff horizontally.

A golden-red beam surged skyward from the staff, transforming into a massive dragon-shaped phantom in the air.

It was the Heaven-Awakening Sacred Golden Dragon sealed within his staff.

The giant dragon roared toward the heavens as though it intended to tear open the sky.

The entire mountain forest shook.

Demon Subduing Douluo held the long staff as he floated in midair, the golden dragon circling around him.

At that moment, he looked like a war god descending upon the world.

A few breaths later, Demon Subduing Douluo withdrew his Soul Power, turned into a streak of light, and landed beside Ye Han.

Ye Han could not help but sigh.

"Grandpa Demon Subduing, your presence is so powerful. I told you, the Unyielding Staff Technique would definitely unleash even greater power in your hands and Grandpa Qian Jun's."

"Hahaha~~ It's all thanks to you, kid!"

Demon Subduing Douluo laughed heartily and placed a hand on Ye Han's shoulder.

"If you hadn't taught me the Unyielding Staff Technique, and if I hadn't unexpectedly obtained that Bloodthirsty Berserk bone, who knew how many more years it would have taken me to break through!"

"We're family. Why say things like that?"

Ye Han smiled as well.

"Next, we can practice the second form of the Unyielding Staff Technique. Shaking Heaven, Shattering Earth emphasizes explosive power, generating powerful impact through the staff technique and inflicting fierce physical shocks upon enemies."

"No rush. I only just broke through today, so I need to stabilize my cultivation first. By the way, where are we going next?"

"To the Soul Arena for actual combat."

"The Soul Arena?"

Demon Subduing Douluo considered it.

"You're currently at the Soul Ancestor level, so at the Soul Arena, you can only challenge opponents of the same level. Your opponents can't be too weak. Ordinary Soul Arenas won't meet your needs, so we can only go to a Super Great Soul Arena. Other than the Spirit City Great Soul Arena, there are only the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena and the Star Luo Great Soul Arena."

"Then let's go to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena."

"Alright. We can also visit an old friend along the way."

As Demon Subduing Douluo spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Ye Han guessed that he meant Qian Renxue, who was lurking within Heaven Dou Palace.

Before Qian Renxue turned nine, she had lived in the Worship Hall.

Those worshippers were all loyal to the Angel lineage, so naturally, they cherished Qian Renxue as well.

Demon Subduing Douluo seemed to recall something, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Kid, there's another issue we haven't considered."

"What is it?"

"When you fight in the Soul Arena, you may not reveal your Spirit Rings, but you'll reveal the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul. Those young juniors won't recognize the Coiling Dragon Staff, but old fellows at the Title Douluo or even Soul Douluo level probably will. You're the Spirit Hall Academy Team's secret weapon. Wouldn't that expose your identity in advance?"

"Then I won't use the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul."

Demon Subduing Douluo froze slightly, then frowned at Ye Han.

"Kid, what do you mean? Are you planning to fight people bare-handed?"

Ye Han smiled and shook his head.

"I'll use my other Martial Soul—the Sky-Piercing Spear."
