External Soul Bone, Rapid Leveling

Dai Mubai was no gambler—at best, he was an opportunist.

But now, the opportunity was right in front of him.

If he still did not take it, he would be an idiot.

"This is a mutated Cave Demon Spider called a Cave Poison Spider. Its poison sting has already broken off."

After obtaining the Compendium of Soul Beasts, Dai Mubai spoke with confidence.

He quickly identified the Soul Beast.

"This poison sting is like the stingers of certain venomous bees. Now that it has broken off, it looks like it was injected into that Earth Dragon Beast's body."

"This is a method of mutual destruction."

Dai Mubai asserted, "The Cave Poison Spider's venom is extremely troublesome. The poison of this Thirty-Thousand-Year Cave Poison Spider is enough to kill that Earth Dragon Beast."

"Neither of them is the most suitable for you anyway, so why not..."

"Why not..."

Su Xiong froze.

He understood Dai Mubai's intentions.

"But..."

Su Xiong hesitated.

"Don't worry. We'll go over and check whether the Earth Dragon Beast has been poisoned first. With your ability to fly, we don't need to fear being caught by it."

Dai Mubai said, "If it has been poisoned, then I can be certain that it is doomed to die!"

"Th-this..."

Su Xiong had always been a steady person, but after Dai Mubai's persuasive words, temptation had gone to his head.

It was safe anyway, and they would not die.

How weak did that Earth Dragon Beast look now?

"Then... then shall we go take a look?"

Su Xiong finally made up his mind to take a look.

"Fine."

Since Su Xiong had made up his mind, Dai Mubai did not waste any more words.

He directly dealt with the Cave Poison Spider.

This Cave Poison Spider had already been crippled.

It was heavily wounded, and even its carapace had shattered.

Dai Mubai only needed one forceful blow to kill the Cave Poison Spider.

Very quickly, Dai Mubai killed the Cave Poison Spider.

And the Cave Poison Spider had surprisingly dropped a Blue Orb.

Dai Mubai opened the orb, and quite a few things appeared inside.

One High-Grade Martial Soul: Cave Poison Spider.

It might come in handy in the future.

High-Grade Martial Souls could be used to cultivate talents and the like.

There was also a Thirty-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone, from the tail stinger portion.

As well as two gold coins.

Gold coins were still fairly rare.

After killing more than a dozen Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Forest, Dai Mubai had already reached that conclusion.

He should save them to buy things like magic staffs later.

What if a High-Tier Transformation Technique appeared, allowing him to directly transform a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?

Wouldn't that be amazing?

Of course, if he came across the Immortal Herb Compendium, he would definitely buy it as well.

That thing could help him identify Immortal Herbs.

After all, if he went to find Yang Wudi—

Yang Wudi himself might not know that many Immortal Herbs either.

Dai Mubai had already made his decision.

After that came the matter of handling this Soul Bone.

External Soul Bones were still quite valuable.

They did not occupy the slots of other Soul Bones.

And this one was Thirty-Thousand-Year.

Dai Mubai did not think much about it and directly absorbed it himself first.

"Su Xiong, stand guard for me."

Dai Mubai pretended to discover the Soul Bone from the Cave Poison Spider's corpse and immediately spoke.

Then, he began absorbing it.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Su Xiong nodded. Seeing that Dai Mubai had actually obtained a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, he was immediately overjoyed.

His Highness truly had heaven-blessed fortune.

Very quickly, Dai Mubai finished absorbing it.

The soul skill contained within the Soul Bone was—Poison Sting.

It was the same poison contained in the Cave Poison Spider's poison sting.

Of course, the effect of his Poison Sting might be somewhat weaker than when the Cave Poison Spider used it.

However, unlike the Cave Poison Spider, he would not enter a weakened state after using it up.

For Dai Mubai, it only consumed Soul Power.

Overall, it was a fairly good soul skill.

Most importantly, this was an External Soul Bone that could continue evolving.

And after absorbing this Soul Bone—

Dai Mubai's Soul Power also rose by one level, reaching Level 44.

"Ding!"

"Your level has reached Level 44, triggering Level Up. Soul Power increased to Level 45."

Amazing!

Dai Mubai stood up and felt the powerful Soul Power within his body.

He could not help but sigh in amazement.

Going directly from Level 43 to Level 45—this was the power of Level Up.

Just thinking about how it could trigger once every two levels filled him with motivation to cultivate.

In two months—

He had gone from Level 37 to Level 45.

Only one level of Soul Power had come from his own cultivation; the rest had been raised by Soul Rings and Level Up.

However, the next five levels would not have the assistance of Soul Rings, so he would need to cultivate them himself.

But with Zhu Zhuqing around, even relying solely on the cultivation speed of Martial Soul Fusion, it would not take long for him to become a Soul King.

Swish, swish—

Dai Mubai turned to look behind himself.

A Bone Spike Tail had now grown from his tailbone, rustling softly.

Rows of barbs covered it, making it look rather dangerous.

Dai Mubai controlled the tail and gave it a powerful flick.

The barbs on the bone chain rapidly retracted, stretching it into a ten-meter-long spiked bone chain that was incomparably sharp.

It looked like a black iron chain overall. Fortunately, it had no flesh or skin, so it was not especially ugly.

Instead, it carried an added sense of violent beauty.

As Dai Mubai swept it out with one strike—

The bone chain instantly generated a gust of Astral Wind, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

Riiip—boom!

Dai Mubai's bone chain swept forward in a single strike.

Within a ten-meter-radius semicircle ahead, every tree was directly smashed apart by his sweeping blow.

Its destructive power was astonishing.

Even without using a soul skill, he could use it to attack.

That was the advantage of an External Soul Bone.

"Th-this is such a powerful Soul Bone, Mubai. Congratulations."

Zhu Zhuqing walked to Dai Mubai's side with a delighted expression.

She had not expected that this time, not only would they encounter a Thirty-Thousand-Year Cave Poison Spider fighting a Forty-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon Beast—

Giving them a chance to reap the benefits—

But they would even gain the unexpected surprise of a Soul Bone.

"Th-this... Your Highness, this is an External Soul Bone! Your Highness, you truly are blessed by heaven!"

Su Xiong could not help but praise him. "An External Soul Bone is the dream of countless Soul Masters, yet Your Highness actually obtained one."

External Soul Bones were even rarer than Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Of course, if they truly had to choose, most people would still choose a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"My luck has always been good."

Dai Mubai smiled.

He would probably need to use that excuse again in the future. Although Wild Monsters had low drop rates, they were still far higher than the drop rate of Soul Bones in reality.

Only one Hundred-Year Soul Bone would appear among ten thousand Hundred-Year Soul Beasts.

He only needed to kill a few dozen Soul Beasts at most to get one.

"Let's go back and find the Earth Dragon Beast."

Dai Mubai put away the Bone Spike Tail and spoke.

"Alright. Your Highness, be careful."

Su Xiong nodded, then began walking ahead to scout the way.

However, he remained very close to Dai Mubai and did not go too far ahead.

While avoiding any further accidents ahead, he also needed to prevent something like what had just happened from happening again.

They remained vigilant all the way, but did not discover any other Soul Beasts.

It seemed this place was already the Earth Dragon Beast's territory.
