Absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone! The External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances!

After putting all the Gold Soul Coins into his Storage Soul Tool, Li Chen nodded in satisfaction.

This trip had given him

not only his first Auspicious Beast Soul Spirit, but also the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year right leg bone.

It could hardly have gone better.

"A pity. I went after the Sky Titan Giant Ape, but I never expected it to have a companion," Kong Deming said regretfully.

"It ran into a huge lake, and there was a Sky Azure Bull Python in there, even bigger than the ape! Otherwise, I'd have taken the ape's Soul Bone no matter what!"

What Kong Deming regretted was that

if he had gone all out, he might well have held his own against both the Sky Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.

But Gui Mei had been watching. If he had seized the chance to attack Li Chen and Huo Yuhao, things would have gone terribly wrong.

So Kong Deming had made a token attempt, marked the location, and withdrawn.

"It's fine, Elder Kong. Those three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts aren't going anywhere. If we kill them now, we'll only get their Soul Bones. Their Soul Rings would go to waste."

"We can hunt them when someone at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy needs one—when Ji Juechen breaks through to Titled Douluo, for example."

Kong Deming nodded, then looked puzzled. "Three? Weren't there two?"

Li Chen chuckled. "Xiao Wu—the one the Sky Titan Giant Ape carried off—is one too."

Realization dawned on Kong Deming.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I really would have forgotten. Historical records say Sea God Tang San's wife was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who took human form."

"And Tang San's mother seems to have been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass, too."

The corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched.

Then curiosity got the better of him. "Where is Tang San's mother now? A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would be no weaker than a Titled Douluo."

"At this point in time, Tang San's mother, Ah Yin, should already have sacrificed herself for Tang Hao. So how did Tang San bring her back?!"

Much of the historical record had been lost,

and Huo Yuhao couldn't piece together the details from what remained.

But if Tang San had been able to revive his mother, Huo Yuhao couldn't help wondering whether he might be able to do the same for his own.

"Who knows? It's all right, Yuhao. We'll look into it in time."

"Once we ascend to godhood, perhaps we'll be able to."

Li Chen spoke gently, trying to comfort him.

Huo Yuhao nodded and set the thought aside for now.

In truth,

Li Chen knew where Tang San's mother was. By his reckoning, Tang Hao had already left Ah Yin's seed in a stone cave in Sunset Forest.

Later, Tang San would discover the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and place Ah Yin's seed there to nurture it.

But bringing that up now would seem strange. Li Chen planned to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well later and pretend to stumble across it.

As for Huo Yuhao's mother...

Li Chen glanced at Huo Yuhao. For her, they really would have to wait until they attained godhood.

After all,

Huo Yuhao's mother wasn't like Ah Yin. Ah Yin had at least left behind a seed.

Huo Yuhao's mother had died of illness.

Tang San had only revived her soul after becoming a God King.

But now that they had traveled back to the first era of Douluo, Li Chen couldn't be sure whether the Divine Realm could still bring her back.

Kong Deming took Li Chen and Huo Yuhao into the air, and they swiftly headed back.

Along the way,

Gui Mei kept following them.

Good heavens, Clear Sky Douluo was there. It looks like Tang San and he are close...

Tang San's surname is Tang, and so is Tang Hao's! Who would have thought I'd stumble onto something like this?

Gui Mei was beside himself with excitement.

Tang Hao, whom Spirit Hall had hunted for years, had a son right there at Shrek!

Gui Mei resolved to tell Bibi Dong as soon as he got back. Then they could round up everyone at that second-rate Shrek academy and interrogate them properly!

They had harbored a fugitive wanted by Spirit Hall.

That accusation could even be used against the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Spirit Hall would have its pretext for war!

Heh.

Gui Mei sneered.

Even so,

what shocked Gui Mei more was Kong Deming's strength. Kong Deming was only level ninety-four, one level below him,

yet he had fought Tang Hao and gained the upper hand.

Gui Mei and Yue Guan together hadn't been able to beat Tang Hao.

By that reckoning, Gui Mei wouldn't be a match for Kong Deming either.

Where did this Sun Moon Sect come from? I don't even know where their sect is based. And how strong could their Peerless Douluo be...?

Gui Mei had no idea.

For now, he decided to follow Kong Deming back and find the Sun Moon Sect's temporary base.

Two days later,

Kong Deming returned to the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range.

Once Gui Mei had seen where the Sun Moon Sect was based, he flew off while he was still far away.

He didn't dare come closer. If they spotted him, he might not get away.

In fact,

the High-Altitude Detection Soul Tool had already picked him up. Li Chen had specifically told the others to let Gui Mei leave; otherwise, Ye Yulin would have given him a nasty taste of the Sun Moon Divine Needle.

"You broke through?"

Ju Zi looked at Li Chen.

"Mm."

Li Chen opened a wooden box and took out three Soul Bones.

"We got an unexpected bonus this time: a ten-thousand-year left arm bone, a ten-thousand-year left leg bone, and a Hundred Thousand Year right leg bone."

"No way!"

Xiao Hongchen and his sister cried out. Jing Hongchen, Ye Yulin, and the others crowded around.

Ju Zi's eyes lit up.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?! Where did you get it?"

"Heh, we got lucky. We ran into Tang San, and Elder Kong injured his father and took it."

Li Chen briefly explained what had happened.

"Our dear Sea God really is hard to kill. He even got away from that."

Ju Zi's voice was low.

Kong Deming smiled. "Let's see how things play out. For now, divide these three Soul Bones among yourselves. I already have a full set, so I don't need them."

Ju Zi thought for a moment. "Since you got this Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, Li Chen, why don't you take it? Anyone object?"

Jing Hongchen and the others agreed.

Li Chen smiled.

The Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone granted flight and regeneration. It was an excellent find.

"In that case, I'll gladly accept it.

"The other two are left arm and left leg bones passed down through the Clear Sky Sect. One is fifty thousand years old, the other seventy thousand, and both enhance strength. Whoever needs them can take them."

Li Chen took his right leg bone and went off to absorb it.

This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest had gone as well as he could have hoped.

The Skull of Destiny and the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone—what a haul.

As for the other two bones,

after some discussion, Ji Juechen took the left arm bone, while Xiao Hongchen received the left leg bone.

One had a sword martial soul; the other had the Three-Legged Golden Toad.

A strength boost suited them both.

Huo Yuhao hadn't intended to take either bone in the first place.

He already had a four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion torso bone, a fifty-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone, a Three-Life Wolf Ape left leg bone, and the External Soul Bone Dark Gold Terror Claw.

He wasn't exactly short on Soul Bones.

Besides,

Huo Yuhao had also obtained the External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances from the thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider that Tang San was originally meant to kill!
