Soul Bone!
The next morning!
Yang Que and Huang Dabiao were busy working with small knives!
The object they were busy working on was none other than the Saber-Toothed Demon Tiger that the two of them had killed yesterday!
They were currently beside a clear stream, imbuing their Soul Power into a small knife and repeatedly slicing it across its body. It had to be said, the pressure within the blood of a nearly 50,000-year-old Soul Beast was incredibly strong. Within the area they were working on, there wasn't a single living creature in sight!
As expected of a demonic beast, even though it was dead, demonic energy still emanated from its body! Perhaps due to its complete Demonic Transformation, every piece of flesh and every drop of blood from this saber-toothed tiger contained a large amount of demonic energy, which was truly terrifying!
The two dissected the Saber-Toothed Demon Tiger for its inner Core. Soul Beast condense a Core within their bodies after reaching a hundred years of cultivation; this Core absorbs the essence of the entire body! Of course, some exceptionally talented Soul Beast may condense Core after ten years of cultivation, but these are extremely rare! The Core of Soul Beasts of different ages are also different, much like the color of their Soul Ring: Hundred-Year Soul Ring's Core is purple, and ten-thousand-year one is black...
It's safe to say that Soul Beast's Core that has reached ten thousand years of age is extremely rare; it's practically priceless!
The two began to carefully and slowly cut off its pelt. This pelt could be used to make leather armor, which would be excellent for defense! Although the pelt was full of pits and bumps, it was still suitable for making leather armor!
Then the two began searching for its Core. Yang Que plunged a knife into the center of its head, directly opening its skull!
Generally speaking, the Core of Soul Beast is located in its head, and this should be no exception.
After Yang Que performed craniotomy, without any surprises, a black Core with four stripes was found planted in his head, lying quietly. The fifth stripe was about to form!
The patterns on the Core are formed by the Soul Beast. Each stage will form a pattern. For example, the Core of a 90,000-year-old Soul Beast will have nine patterns. Finally, the nine patterns will converge into one, thus advancing to the next stage. At that time, it will be a red Core!
Holding the Core, Huang Dabiao was somewhat excited. "Hehe, Soul Beast Core that's nearly 50,000 years old! This is going to be a huge profit! I never imagined that the person I used to chase would be holding my Core today, hahahaha!"
Yang Que said somewhat speechlessly, "Is that all the idea you have? To exchange it for money? It's unoriginal. As long as we find the right Medicinal Herbs, and add this Core to have a Grandmaster Alchemy Alchemy, then it will be a truly valuable item!"
"Then, when we auction off the pills, that'll be a real windfall!! Hahaha!"
Huang Dabiao, "..." Tsk tsk, isn't your thinking the same as mine? Really!
The two continued dissecting the beast. Although the Core and hide had already been removed, the meat from the saber- Saber-Toothed Demon Tiger was a valuable resource, as they had many guild missions to complete. It could be used as bait to set traps to capture and hunt other Soul Beast! That would be perfect!
The two slowly dissected the flesh, cutting it piece by piece. Each piece contained a large amount of energy, but they dared not eat it, because the flesh contained a large amount of demonic energy! It wouldn't matter to Soul Beast, but if a human ate it, they might go insane!
A moment later, Yang Que seemed to have touched something, and slowly pulled it out of the Saber-Toothed Demon Tiger's body. What was this?!
Soul Bone!!
Huang Dabiao also looked over, and the two stared at each other!
Both of them were stunned. This saber-toothed tiger actually possessed Soul Bone! This was something neither of them had ever expected!
It's important to know that Soul Bone are extremely precious in the Soul Master World. A ten-thousand-year-old Core might be rare and priceless, but Soul Bone is something that money simply can't buy, even Thousand-Year Soul Bone!
If the two of them were to put this Soul Bone up for auction, it would be truly earth-shattering! It would definitely attract most of the cultivators on the Douluo Continent! And it would absolutely fetch an astronomical price! After all, this is a Right Arm Soul Bone that is nearly 50,000 years old!
Yang Que tossed the Soul Bone in his hand and threw it directly to Huang Dabiao.
Huang Dabiao was still in a daze, completely bewildered. What? He gave it to him?
"No! Leader, this is Right Arm Soul Bone that's nearly 50,000 years old! Aren't you tempted?" Huang Dabiao asked, puzzled. He originally thought Yang Que would absorb this Soul Bone. Even if Yang Que absorbed it, he wouldn't say anything, since he was Yang Que's follower, but he would still feel a little uncomfortable! But he never expected that Yang Que would give it to him!
Yang Que smiled. "Take it. I told you, following me is the wisest choice you'll ever make. I also said that in three years you'll go alone to rescue your wife and children."
"This is just a Soul Bone that's nearly 50,000 years old! What's there to be tempted by? Absorb it, I'll protect you!"
Huang Dabiao was somewhat moved. A Right Arm Soul Bone that was nearly 50,000 years old was given to him without any hesitation. Perhaps this was the most correct choice he had ever made in his life!
Huang Dabiao said nothing more; a thousand words couldn't express his feelings through actions! He made up his mind that he would follow Yang Que faithfully from now on, and that Yang Que would never die before Huang Dabiao himself!
Was Yang Que really meant to groom Wang Dabiao? Yes, but no!
Honestly, this Soul Bone isn't a good match for me, and its age is way too low!
Who is he? He's destined to dominate the entire Douluo Continent! How could he possibly use Soul Bone that's only nearly 50,000 years old as his right arm bone? Wouldn't that be far too beneath him?
He knew that the system contained Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and even some that were a million years old! His minimum requirement for himself was to have a full set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone! Soul Bone that were only close to 50,000 years old were not even worth his attention!
To put it bluntly, Yang Que only gave this Soul Bone to Huang Dabiao because he didn't really want it. This way, he could enhance Huang Dabiao's strength while simultaneously winning him over! A win-win situation, isn't that great?
At this moment, Huang Dabiao was slowly absorbing the power of the Soul Bone, while Yang was grinning mischievously... no, he was grinning wisely and powerfully!
Soul Bone are different from Soul Ring; absorbing Soul Bone takes much longer than absorbing Soul Ring. Huang Dabiao absorbed it for a full three hours, and at noon, he finally opened his eyes!
A powerful surge of Soul Power instantly swept outwards.
Level 69!
Huang Dabiao clenched his right fist. Absorbing this Soul Bone had greatly enhanced the strength of his arm, granted him a new skill, and even allowed him to break through his cultivation level! He was now absolutely certain that Yang Que could help him rescue his wife and children within three years!
Yang Que stood to the side, arms crossed, and chuckled, "How is it? How does it feel?"
Huang Dabiao quickly walked over, knelt on one knee, and said, "Huang Dabiao will forever be loyal to you, young master!"
He had changed his title from "Leader" to "Young Master," indicating that he had completely regarded himself as Yang Que's subordinate!
Yang Que was somewhat surprised by his form of address, but it seemed reasonable. Yang Que helped him up.
Huang Dabiao replied, "Young Master, this Soul Bone has greatly strengthened my right arm, and I've even broken through a level with it, now reaching level 69 Soul Emperor! I've also gained a skill from it!"
Yang Que blinked, somewhat curious, "Oh? Level 69 already. It seems that in another month or two I can go hunt Soul Beast for you to obtain your Seventh Soul Ring. What skill will you get?"
"The skill is: Explosive Arm! It can instantly enhance strength to twice its original level!" Huang Dabiao replied!
Yang Que became even more interested; it could actually amplify power by two times! He was currently only a Soul Emperor, but what if he reached the Soul Saint Soul Douluo, or even Titled Douluo level? At that point, if he unleashed this Explosive Arm, who could stand against him? If used well in battle, suddenly unleashing this power could end the fight instantly!
As expected, the lack of Soul Bone was indeed a bonus for Huang Dabiao. Soul Master who use an axe as their Martial Soul are almost all strength-type, and the boost from the lack of Soul Bone was truly icing on the cake! Giving it to him was really not a waste!
This is merely a skill granted by Soul Bone that is nearly 50,000 years old. If it were a skill granted by Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?
Next, Huang Dabiao demonstrated his current strength to Yang Que, and the two then packed up the chunks of Saber-Toothed Demon Tiger meat and returned to their Cave Abode!
Back in his Cave Abode, Huang Dabiao went hunting, while Yang Que sat on the stone bed deep in thought. Huang Dabiao's strength had truly startled Yang Que. Yang Que realized that with his current strength, he probably couldn't beat this guy. He had originally thought that he could deal with Soul Emperor after advancing to the Soul Ancestor level, but after seeing Huang Dabiao's current strength, he decided to give up.
But he was not discouraged. He could still maintain his ability to challenge opponents of higher levels. As long as he cultivated his Jade-Suppressing Hades Body Art to the peak of the first level, or even the second level, he could completely crush Huang Dabiao!
When Huang Dabiao absorbed that Soul Ring yesterday, he used two medicinal pills and many other pills to power his body to absorb them and resist the power of the Soul Ring. Although he wasted a lot of them, he still managed to get his body to the level of Marrow Suppression!
Yang Que that as long as he cultivated the Jade-Suppressing Hades Body Art to the peak of the first level, he estimated that he could reach the Soul Shaping level!
Furthermore, with his own Azure Yang Art and Thunderclap Sword Shadow Steps, if he takes a slight step forward, challenging opponents of higher levels will be as easy as eating and drinking!
But how can I improve my physical strength now? The Medicinal Herbs and pills from yesterday have pushed my Jade-Suppressing Hades Body Art to the first level of mastery. It will probably be difficult to cultivate it to the peak. I will need the assistance of rare and precious materials!
However, the rare and precious herbs in the system are ridiculously expensive. With my current net worth of nearly 100,000, I'm afraid that buying five or six of them would completely wipe me out of my savings!
Wait! A rare and precious treasure? Yang Que suddenly realized something, opened his backpack, and took out a sphere imbued with powerful demonic energy! After taking it out, Yang Que quickly threw it on the ground because it was extremely hot!
I simply can't imagine what this magic ball is. With my current strength, I can't even feel it's hot!
"System! Investigate what this thing is!" Yang Que said to the system.
Scanning!
Bite!
At that moment, an information board appeared in front of Yang Que. Yang Que's pupils shrank, and then he couldn't help but burst into laughter...
