Absorbing a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone

Level 38!

Absorbing this Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone had directly raised his Soul Power by another three levels, firmly bringing him to the realm of a level 38 Soul Elder!

Moreover, he had gained two Soul Bone-exclusive skills that could only be described as absurdly overpowered.

The first was the Titan Giant Ape's innate talent: Gravity Domain.

It allowed him to freely control the gravity within the domain, increasing it by up to a hundredfold. Once someone was trapped inside, even Soul Masters of the same level would struggle to lift a hand and could only let him slaughter them.

The second was Power Amplification.

For a short time, it could randomly amplify his base strength by three to ten times, with tenfold being the maximum!

These two skills were practically tailor-made for his Dark Gold Staff!

He had originally followed a pure strength-based path. The Dark Gold Staff already relied on overwhelming force to break through finesse; with the suppression of Gravity Domain and a tenfold strength boost added on top, who at the same level could withstand a single blow from him?

Even a level 70 Soul Saint would suffer severe injuries from one strike if they did not activate their Martial Soul Avatar!

Lin Ye was in an excellent mood. After returning to his hotel room, he lay down on the bed, sank his consciousness into his mind, and began writing today's diary.

[After traveling for three days, I finally arrived in Shrek City. The Haotian Sect truly deserves to be called a top-tier sect. Though it has secluded itself from the world, it actually owns such a luxurious estate in Shrek Province.

Today, I found an excuse to avoid Wang Dong'er, rented a top-tier cultivation room, and claimed the diary rewards I had accumulated over the past two days.

Six levels of Soul Power, plus two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings. My current Soul Ring configuration is black, black, red. Am I satisfied? Of course I am. But am I completely satisfied? I still feel like I'm a bit lacking compared to that cheater Huo Yuhao.

After all, he can use Spiritual Simulation to disguise his first Soul Ring as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. He can keep doing the same with his second, third, and even all his later rings. Now that's what you call style. My first two rings are only Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, so they really don't look like much.]

Almost the moment the diary's contents were refreshed, these words appeared simultaneously in the minds of every heroine who possessed a Diary Copy.

Inside a room in the Shrek City estate, Wang Dong'er, who had been meditating, suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing the refreshed diary in her mind, she nearly choked on her own Soul Power.

?

She had just been wondering what that guy had sneakily gone off to do at the hotel. So he had been avoiding her to cultivate and break through?

And his first two Soul Rings were Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, while his third was directly a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Such an outrageous Soul Ring configuration could make headlines across the entire Douluo Continent's Soul Master world, yet he actually thought it did not look impressive enough?

Wang Dong'er's lips twitched as she could not help complaining inwardly, Did this guy have some kind of misunderstanding about the phrase "doesn't look like much"?

A twelve-year-old Soul Elder, with two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings followed by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Could anyone in the entire Douluo Continent find a second one? Comparing yourself to others was enough to drive you mad. This guy was way too competitive!

She had even thought he had gone out to do something shady. Turns out he had secretly gone off to grind his strength.

[Oh, right. I still hadn't had the chance to absorb that Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape Right Arm Bone I got earlier. I might as well take care of it today.

After absorbing it, my Soul Power rose another three levels. I'm already a level 38 Soul Elder now.

Honestly, a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone truly deserves to be called the rarest treasure on the continent. Besides the massive increase in Soul Power, it also gave me two Soul Bone skills.

One is the Titan Giant Ape's innate Gravity Domain. The other is even more ridiculous—it can directly amplify my strength, with a minimum of three times and a maximum of ten times.

These two skills were practically tailor-made for my Dark Gold Staff. I was already following a pure strength-based path, and now my buffs are completely stacked.

As for the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul, it's best not to use it unless necessary. A trump card needs to be kept hidden. The Dark Gold Staff alone is enough when facing enemies.]

The instant this diary entry was refreshed, it stirred up another wave of commotion.

The freshman dormitories of Shrek Academy.

The diary in Xiao Xiao's mind suddenly refreshed. After reading it, she was completely dumbfounded, her little mouth hanging open in a round O for a long while.

T-tenfold strength amplification? And Gravity Domain?

That was way too overpowered!

As a Support System Soul Master, she understood better than anyone how terrifying a control domain and strength amplification could be.

Once Soul Masters of the same level were pinned down by Gravity Domain, forget about using Soul Skills—whether they could even stand steadily would be a problem. Then if they got hit by a staff, they would probably be finished on the spot!

And he was only twelve years old! A level 38 Soul Elder!

Xiao Xiao's little face flushed red, and her eyes were filled with admiration. Lin Ye was just too strong!

At an inn in a small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, Tang Ya sat by the bed, staring blankly out the window with unconcealable dejection and exhaustion written all over her face.

She had shaken off Bei Bei. She did not want to see anyone or listen to anyone now. She only wanted to become stronger and did not want to follow the route laid out in Lin Ye's Diary.

Tang Ya sensed the diary in her mind refresh.

Snapping back to herself, she eagerly finished reading the two diary entries. Her previously lifeless eyes instantly lit up with an astonishing glow.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone... directly raising Soul Power by three levels, along with two such powerful Soul Bone skills...

If Lin Ye could do it, could she do the same through the Diary Copy?

As long as she could obtain the diary's rewards, she would surely be able to change her original fate...

Tang Ya abruptly stood up, grabbed the backpack on the table, and her eyes filled with determination.

The diary said Lin Ye was going to the Star Dou Forest tomorrow! She was going too! She could not wait any longer!

Looking at the final line, Tang Ya no longer hesitated in the slightest. She slung the backpack over her shoulder, pushed open the door, and headed straight toward the Star Dou Forest.

What she did not know was that just after she left the inn, Bei Bei emerged from the shadows at the street corner. Looking at her retreating figure, his face was filled with confusion, grievance, and undisguised worry.

He truly could not understand what had happened to Xiao Ya.

Over the past two days, her emotions had inexplicably swung wildly between highs and lows. One moment she cried, the next she laughed. She had been perfectly fine just moments ago, then suddenly broke down, crying as she shook him off and avoided him as if he were an enemy.

He felt both aggrieved and worried. He could only follow quietly behind her, not daring to get too close for fear of making her angry again.

But now, she was actually heading into the Star Dou Forest?

That place was incredibly dangerous! Even he did not dare venture too deeply inside casually, much less when Xiao Ya was in such a terrible state?

Bei Bei was frantic, yet he did not dare go up and stop her. He could only follow from afar, his heart lodged in his throat, utterly unable to figure out what his beloved Xiao Ya was planning.

At first light, Lin Ye had already left Shrek City and hurried toward the Star Dou Forest.

By noon, he had arrived at the human settlement on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

This was a necessary stop for all Soul Masters coming to the Star Dou Forest to hunt Soul Rings. Vendors had set up stalls everywhere, selling insect repellent, medicine for wounds, maps, and Soul Guidance Devices. Voices filled the air, and the place was bustling with activity.

Lin Ye found a tea stall and sat down. After asking the owner around for quite a while and chatting with several Soul Masters who had just emerged from Star Dou, he finally confirmed the general route.

The Star Dou Forest was simply too vast. It contained countless Soul Beasts and complicated terrain. Trying to precisely locate the place where Huo Yuhao had encountered Skydream Iceworm in such an enormous area was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But that was fine. He had a cheat.
