Sit in a Row, Hand Out Soul Bones

"Look, it's Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu! Xiao Chen really brought Xiao Wu back."

At the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Dugu Yan spotted Su Chen flying through the sky with Xiao Wu at a glance.

Su Chen saw the others as well and immediately descended with Xiao Wu.

Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing all crowded around him. Seeing that Su Chen had no external injuries, they finally let out long breaths of relief.

When they looked at Su Chen again, their gazes had completely changed.

Today, Su Chen had chased after the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Titan Giant Ape to save Xiao Wu. How much courage had that taken?

Then in the future, if they encountered danger too, would Su Chen also risk everything for them?

Su Chen reassured the girls. "You had me worried for nothing. Maybe the Titan Giant Ape thought Xiao Wu was too small, not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth, so it threw her away halfway."

"After I found her, I brought her back."

Since Su Chen had explained it himself, they had no choice but to believe him.

Yu Tianheng and the others, who had regrouped with them, were clearly only half-convinced. Still, they found it even harder to believe that Su Chen had defeated the Titan Giant Ape before taking Xiao Wu back.

That was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, stronger than most Titled Douluo. How could Su Chen, a mere Soul Ancestor, possibly have been its match?

So they all chose to believe Su Chen's explanation.

Qin Ming said gravely, "Something is wrong today. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape actually came to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Su Chen has returned, so let's look around the outskirts for a Soul Beast suitable for Tian Heng. Do not go deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if the age is lower, staying alive is what matters most."

For the next while, they searched around the outskirts. Perhaps because of the Titan Giant Ape's arrival, many Soul Beasts had been frightened into fleeing in every direction.

It did not take them long to find a 3,500-year-old Thunderclap Tyrannosaurus.

After hunting the Thunderclap Tyrannosaurus, Yu Tianheng absorbed its Soul Ring and gained a fourth soul skill called Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Rush.

Yu Tianheng did have some spirit. He had said before that once he obtained his fourth Soul Ring, he would challenge Su Chen.

Even though he now knew he was no match for Su Chen, he still challenged him.

Facing Yu Tianheng, who was giving it his all, Su Chen could not even be bothered to summon his Martial Soul. Relying solely on the physical strength of his Golden Crow Divine Body, he knocked Yu Tianheng unconscious with a single slap.

Su Chen's physical strength could contend head-on with a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. What was Yu Tianheng compared to that? He could not shake Su Chen in the slightest.

Su Chen said indifferently, "Carry Yu Tianheng. We're leaving the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible."

At his command, no one dared delay. The Shi Mo brothers carried Yu Tianheng, while Yu Feng and Osler cleared the way ahead. They swiftly withdrew from the Star Dou Great Forest.

In Soul Hunting Town, they hired two carriages.

Yu Tianheng, Qin Ming, and the others rode in one, while Su Chen, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the others rode in the other.

They headed back toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Inside the carriage!

After learning that Xiao Wu had already broken through to become a Soul Ancestor, the girls were both envious and curious, constantly questioning her about how it had happened.

Xiao Wu gazed lovingly at Su Chen and explained that Su Chen had given her an Immortal Herb, allowing her Soul Power to break through so quickly.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged knowing smiles. They had eaten Immortal Herbs long ago.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, however, were filled with longing. What kind of Immortal Herb could raise a Soul Master's Soul Power by more than ten levels?

Su Chen glanced at the two girls. Equal treatment did not exist here. Giving Xiao Wu an Immortal Herb did not mean he would give Immortal Herbs to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as well.

Suddenly, the corners of his lips curved upward, and a meaningful glint appeared in his eyes.

He first took out the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone he had obtained from the Man Faced Demon Spider from his Storage Soul Tool.

"Yanyan, this is for you. On my way to chase the Titan Giant Ape, a 2,000-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider blocked my path. I killed it along the way, and my luck was good enough that it dropped an External Soul Bone."

"Although it's only 2,000 years old, it can keep growing as your cultivation rises. In the future, it may have a chance to become a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes widened. She was both shocked and delighted, and her breathing quickened. That was a Soul Bone!

A thousand-year Soul Bone alone could trigger a scramble among countless Soul Masters.

An External Soul Bone comparable to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could even move a Titled Douluo.

"You're really giving it to me?"

Dugu Yan's voice trembled as she spoke. Her tone was hesitant, but her body was very honest—she reached out and took the External Soul Bone.

Feeling the energy fluctuations from the External Soul Bone, Dugu Yan was overwhelmed with excitement. She threw herself into Su Chen's arms, her red lips raining kisses across his face.

"Xiao Chen, you're too good to me!"

After fooling around for quite a while, Su Chen finally pushed Dugu Yan away. Wiping the saliva from his face, he then solemnly took out the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone from his Storage Soul Tool.

"This is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone from a Hundred-Thousand-Year plant Soul Beast. Lingling, among us, only you have a plant Martial Soul. This Soul Bone is the most suitable for you."

Ye Lingling, who had just been looking on with envy, was completely stunned at that moment.

That was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone!

Although an External Soul Bone could evolve into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, it was not a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone after all.

The Soul Bone Su Chen gave her was even more valuable than that External Soul Bone.

Ye Lingling's eyes reddened. Covering her small mouth, she looked at Su Chen with rippling eyes that shone with the certainty of having chosen someone.

Su Chen smiled faintly and placed the Soul Bone into Ye Lingling's hand.

To Su Chen, the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone was little more than useless. As for its flight skill, he had been able to fly naturally from birth. As for its healing skill, it might not even surpass Ye Lingling's own healing ability.

Giving it to Ye Lingling would completely win her heart. With the Blue Silver Emperor's abundant life force, perhaps it could allow the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul to evolve, possibly even granting it the power to bring the dead back to life.

Feeling the formidable energy fluctuations of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, Ye Lingling snapped out of her daze and made the same move as Dugu Yan.

She threw herself into Su Chen's embrace and repaid this gift with a fervent, blazing kiss.

"Xiao Chen, I truly don't know how to thank you. This is the best way I can think of to repay you."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were so envious that they were nearly crying.

Xiao Wu had received an Immortal Herb from Su Chen, raising her Soul Power by more than ten levels.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had each received a gift from Su Chen—one an External Soul Bone, the other a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.

Though Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing came from noble backgrounds, one from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the other from the Nether Duke's Estate, even they had never seen such extravagance.

Still acting reserved? Could reserve earn them Soul Bones?

Ning Rongrong reached out with her little hand, tugged at the hem of Su Chen's clothes, and began to act coquettishly.

"Brother Su Chen, Rongrong can be part of your harem too. If that old bastard in my family disagrees, I'll elope with you!"

Zhu Zhuqing breathed lightly, suppressing every trace of reserve and shyness in her heart. Her icy, mountain-like expression melted away as she spoke coquettishly, like a kitten purring.

"Brother Su Chen... Zhuqing is the same. I can do anything."

Su Chen held Dugu Yan in his left arm and Ye Lingling in his right.

"That will depend on how you perform."
