My System is Too Awesome!

Whether she obtained a defensive soul skill from the Brocade Scale Senluo Python or gained the Seven-Colored Illusory Qi soul skill, either would be an excellent outcome.

"Qing Lin, hurry and kill this Brocade Scale Senluo Python. Absorb its soul ring!"

Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei, acted once again, using his fourth soul skill: Ghost Shadow Earth Pool Hand. He directly summoned countless ghostly hands, firmly restraining the Brocade Scale Senluo Python.

Afterward, Hu Liena immediately handed Qing Lin a sharp dagger and had her finish off the Brocade Scale Senluo Python.

Qing Lin was actually still somewhat frightened and timid about this.

But with Bai Ye's encouragement, Qing Lin gathered her courage. Clutching the sharp dagger, she stepped forward and walked toward the Brocade Scale Senluo Python.

In the end, she thrust the dagger into the Brocade Scale Senluo Python's eye, piercing straight through its brain.

In an instant, the Brocade Scale Senluo Python died on the spot. Though its body was still struggling and twitching, countless pale yellow motes of light drifted out from it, proving that the Brocade Scale Senluo Python had become a corpse!

Bai Ye felt somewhat regretful about this.

After all, this Brocade Scale Senluo Python could be considered an extremely powerful soul beast.

Though it was not at the very top of the soul beast food chain, it still ranked among the upper-middle levels.

If Qing Lin could awaken the Jade Snake Three Flower Eyes and subdue this Brocade Scale Senluo Python, that would undoubtedly be even better!

But upon further thought, Bai Ye felt that his idea was somewhat naive.

After all, although the Jade Snake Three Flower Eyes could absorb the power of subdued serpent soul beasts and rapidly increase its owner's cultivation,

the rules of Douluo Continent dictated that every time a soul master reached the peak of a cultivation realm, they had to absorb a soul ring in order to break through and continue cultivating.

This rule meant that Qing Lin was still destined to need soul rings.

And since she had to absorb soul rings anyway, it was naturally better to absorb those from higher-quality soul beasts.

On the other side, after hunting the Brocade Scale Senluo Python,

Qing Lin immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes, and began absorbing the Brocade Scale Senluo Python's soul ring.

After several full hours of absorption,

by the dusky evening, when the setting sun cast its fading glow,

Qing Lin finally reopened her jade-green eyes. Bai Ye, Hu Liena, and the others immediately gathered around her.

"How was it, Qing Lin? What type of soul skill did you obtain?"

Seeing Qing Lin awaken, Hu Liena could not help but ask.

"I think I obtained a defensive soul skill..."

Hearing this, Qing Lin's delicate and adorable little face was still full of meekness. She softly revealed the type of soul skill she had acquired, then tried activating it.

At once, as the first soul ring circling Qing Lin's body lit up,

amid a surge of Soul Power, a transparent silver serpent-scale barrier condensed around Qing Lin.

When Bai Ye reached out and lightly tapped it,

ripples immediately spread across the silver serpent-scale barrier, and its original silver color instantly turned into a dazzling array of seven colors.

Hehe, interesting. This serpent-scale barrier shares some characteristics with the scales of the Brocade Scale Senluo Python!

Seeing this, Bai Ye could not help but smile inwardly.

Just as everyone thought the testing of Qing Lin's first soul skill was over,

Qing Lin suddenly seemed to recall something, and a trace of hesitation appeared on her little face.

"Um... Young Master, Sister Nana, two Elder Seniors, while I was absorbing this soul ring just now, a lot of warm currents flowed into my throat. It feels like there's something in my throat now, but I don't know what it is..."

"There's something in your throat?"

At Qing Lin's words, everyone, including Bai Ye, was somewhat bewildered.

But Yue Guan seemed to have thought of something and could not help asking,

"Qing Lin, are you sure there's something in your throat, or is there something in the cervical bone at the back of your throat?"

"I think it's the bone here?"

Qing Lin was not entirely sure either. Only after touching her fair, tender neck with her little hand did she reply.

"Haha! If there's something in your cervical bone, then that's a good thing. If my guess is correct, Qing Lin, you should have obtained an External Soul Bone!"

Upon learning that there was something in Qing Lin's cervical bone near her throat, Yue Guan immediately laughed.

"And it's very easy to confirm. Qing Lin, simply circulate your Soul Power to the place in your cervical bone where you feel something, and you'll know."
