Buzz—
The purple Millennium Spirit Ring trembled slightly as a mass of black radiance, taller than Lin Yan himself, enveloped his body.
Unlike the searing heat of flames, this black radiance gave off only the heavy, profound feeling of boundless earth.
In an instant, he immediately sensed that his strength had doubled.
Lin Yan gathered all his strength and swung his mace at his grandmother.
She was a Titled Douluo, so there was naturally no need for him to hold back.
No matter what, his attack could not possibly hurt her.
Lin Yuhuan raised her hand slightly, a cluster of Soul Power appearing in her palm as she effortlessly caught Lin Yan's full-strength strike.
"Very good attack power. That strike alone is not something an ordinary Two-Ring Great Soul Master could withstand."
"According to what you said, the power of this Inner Force attack will increase along with your own strength."
"It has amplification and attack power. No matter how you look at it, this is a perfect Soul Skill that can be called divine." Lin Yuhuan smiled in satisfaction.
"Exactly, Grandma. I think so too. Insisting on choosing this Millennial Titan Giant Ape was indeed the right choice." Lin Yan withdrew his Martial Soul and said with a smile.
"Of course it was the right choice! Look at this."
Lin Yuhuan suddenly took out a glittering object.
Lin Yan looked over, his expression briefly freezing.
It was a yellow crystal shaped like a palm, giving off waves of Soul Power fluctuations.
Ordinary crystal naturally would not emit Soul Power fluctuations, much less be shaped like a human hand.
Could this be...?
Lin Yuhuan said excitedly, "I'm also very surprised. After this Titan Giant Ape died, it actually produced a Spirit Bone—and a Palm Bone at that."
"A Palm Bone is an External Soul Bone, one of the finest kinds of Spirit Bones. Its power can increase along with a Soul Master's cultivation. On the Soul Master Dream Ranking, its value is second only to Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones."
"An External Soul Bone?"
Lin Yan's face was filled with delight. As a transmigrator, he naturally knew just how precious External Soul Bones were.
He had never expected that hunting this Titan Giant Ape would not only grant him a powerful Thousand-Year Soul Skill, but also produce such a precious External Soul Bone.
Fortunately, those people from the Clear Sky Sect did not know.
If they had known there was an External Soul Bone, that War King Douluo would probably have cast aside all dignity and taken action to snatch it. He definitely would not have given up so easily.
"This is a Titan Giant Ape Right Palm Bone. Absorb it!"
Lin Yuhuan handed the Spirit Bone to Lin Yan.
"For me? Grandma, you can absorb it too!"
Though he wanted it badly, Lin Yan still spoke politely.
Lin Yuhuan smiled. "Silly boy, Grandma is already a Titled Douluo. This Spirit Bone would not grow much with me. Only with you can it improve rapidly."
"Spirit Bones can also greatly enhance one's attributes. This External Soul Bone happens to be a right Palm Bone, so it will definitely provide a major boost to the strength of your right arm. Not only will that reduce the strain of using your Martial Soul, it can also increase the damage of your second Soul Skill, Inner Force. It kills two birds with one stone and suits you perfectly."
"Thank you, Grandma!"
Lin Yan accepted the Spirit Bone and began absorbing it under Lin Yuhuan's guidance.
Generally speaking, Spirit Bones were easier to absorb than Spirit Rings.
A three-ring Soul Elder could absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, yet could not absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.
However, External Soul Bones were an exception.
The human body only had six locations capable of accommodating Spirit Bones: the head, torso, and four limbs.
Any Spirit Bone located outside those six positions was called an External Soul Bone.
Other than those six positions, the bones of the human body could not accommodate Spirit Bones. Therefore, to absorb an External Soul Bone, one first had to destroy the original human bone and then replace it with the External Soul Bone.
As a result, the absorber would endure intense pain, which greatly tested a person's endurance.
In other words, for Lin Yan to absorb this Titan Giant Ape Right Palm Bone, he had to endure the pain of shattered bones!
When a surge of pain struck, cold sweat instantly appeared on Lin Yan's forehead, and his body began trembling uncontrollably.
What made Lin Yan breathe easier was that, just as he endured the pain, his Second Martial Soul suddenly reacted and alleviated his suffering.
An hour later, Lin Yan finally fused perfectly with the Titan Giant Ape Right Palm Bone.
With that, his Soul Power rose directly to level twenty-three!
Whew—
Lin Yan opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air.
The next moment, he immediately raised his right hand and looked at his palm.
At this moment, an External Soul Bone already existed within that palm.
Lin Yan slowly clenched his hand under his control and, sure enough, sensed that the strength of his entire arm had increased considerably. It was visibly thirty percent stronger than his left arm.
He summoned his Martial Soul.
The Black Demon Mace Martial Soul now weighed around two hundred jin to him, its owner, while to enemies, its weight had risen from six hundred jin to nine hundred jin. Its weight was almost no less than Tang Tian's Clear Sky Hammer after it had gained two Spirit Rings.
Yet in his hand, it felt as light as nothing. He could wield it however he pleased without feeling the slightest strain.
This was the change in strength brought to him by the Titan Giant Ape's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.
Lin Yuhuan asked, "Lin Yan, what kind of Soul Skill did this Palm Bone give you?"
Lin Yan answered, "Grandma, it's a domain-type Soul Skill called Gravity Domain."
"A domain Soul Skill?"
Lin Yuhuan's expression changed in surprise.
Even to a Titled Douluo, domain-type Soul Skills were extremely important.
However, domain-type Soul Skills had an extremely low chance of appearing.
In theory, only Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones were guaranteed to produce domain-type Soul Skills.
Therefore, very few Soul Masters possessed domain-type Soul Skills. Even Lin Yuhuan herself did not have one.
Compared to Lin Yuhuan, Lin Yan was not nearly as surprised.
Because he vaguely remembered that in the original story, after the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape Er Ming sacrificed himself to Tang San, he had also given him a domain-type Soul Skill: this very Gravity Domain.
Lin Yuhuan looked at Lin Yan with a complicated expression.
There was even a faint trace of envy in her eyes.
"Grandma, why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Yan found Lin Yuhuan's gaze rather strange.
Lin Yuhuan sighed emotionally. "You really are unbelievably lucky! A powerful mutated Martial Soul, extraordinary spiritual power, and a mutated physique."
"While the first and second Soul Skills are merely transitional for other Soul Masters, you obtained two divine skills that can benefit you for life. Now, you've also acquired an External Soul Bone that possesses a domain Soul Skill."
At this point, Lin Yuhuan could not help sighing.
Even she, a Titled Douluo, was somewhat envious of all the advantages Lin Yan possessed.
He was like a child of destiny born in response to fate itself. Luck was always by his side, and he was destined to become strong!
Hearing this, Lin Yan gave an embarrassed dry laugh.
Lin Yuhuan earnestly instructed him, "Although you have good conditions, that only means your starting point is higher than others'. You must not relax or grow careless in your future cultivation either. Otherwise, you will certainly be surpassed by others. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Grandma!" Lin Yan nodded seriously.
Having successfully completed their mission, the group rode their carriage back along the same route.
Lin Yan went to the carriage Lin Yuhuan was riding in. "Grandma, did you need something from me?"
Lin Yuhuan asked, "Tell me about that move you used to defeat Tang Tian. What was it? Could it be that you have a Spirit Bone I don't know about?"
Lin Yan froze slightly, then frowned as well.
After using that move that day, he had slept for an entire day and night. Then he had been busy absorbing the Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, so he had not had time to think about it.
Now that Lin Yuhuan had brought it up, his heart was also filled with confusion...
