External Soul Bone: Thunder God's Spine, Second Soul Skill: Singular Velvet Sky God Transformation!

Neither had expected such an accident to occur while Lin Hao was absorbing his soul ring.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were both overcome with anxiety and worry.

"Little Hao!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed drastically, and he moved forward to examine him.

Meanwhile, Ghost Douluo flashed to Lin Hao's side, his brows tightly furrowed on his stern face, a trace of urgency in his eyes.

But after circling Lin Hao several times,

they still felt at a loss as to what to do.

After all, absorbing a soul ring was a soul master's most critical moment. Outsiders absolutely could not interfere lightly.

Otherwise,

if the soul power released by the soul ring went out of control, it would only inflict greater harm on the soul master!

Thus, the two could only pace back and forth beside him like ants on a hot pan.

Yet even as pain showed on Lin Hao's face,

after some time, his bulging back gradually settled down, and the swollen flesh became smooth again.

The violent thunder energy seemed to have been absorbed by something, merging completely into Lin Hao's body.

At that moment, Lin Hao finally opened his eyes slowly.

"Little Hao, how are you feeling? Are you all right?"

Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo hurried forward to ask after him.

Unlike Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, Lin Hao knew what had happened to his body.

After standing up and stretching his muscles and joints,

Lin Hao broke into a broad grin and said,

"Teacher, Uncle Ghost, I'm fine!"

"In fact, I really struck gold this time!"

"Struck gold?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both froze, exchanging glances.

His eyes brimming with barely contained excitement, Lin Hao explained,

"What happened to my back just now wasn't an accident. The Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine's soul ring came with an external soul bone!"

"And now, I've successfully absorbed and fused with it!"

"An external soul bone!"

At his words, Chrysanthemum Douluo's and Ghost Douluo's eyes lit up, and they cried out in surprise, their excitement and delight plain to see.

"Little Hao, congratulations!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke with excitement written all over his face.

"An external soul bone is a supreme treasure for soul masters, second only to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

"In some respects, it even surpasses an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

"That's because an external soul bone can evolve on its own as its soul master's cultivation improves."

"As long as you're talented enough to break through to Titled Douluo, this external soul bone has every chance of reaching the hundred-thousand-year level in the future!"

"And most importantly, an external soul bone doesn't occupy any of the six main soul bone slots!"

"Little Hao, congratulations!"

Beside him, amazement also showed on Ghost Douluo Gui Mei's stern face.

"Oh, right! Little Hao, what kind of external soul bone did you get? What does it do?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo asked curiously.

Since one was his teacher and the other his teacher's closest friend, both were elders he trusted.

Lin Hao smiled slightly and hid nothing, answering directly,

"My external soul bone is my spine. I've named it Thunder God's Spine!"

"And this soul bone's skill is called Thunderclap Heart!"

"It has two effects!"

"The first is an active effect. It can influence the weather, gathering dark clouds overhead and calling down lightning."

"I can guide that lightning to a certain extent, directing it to strike a designated area."

"Compared with other soul skills, this one is rather unusual. It takes a long time to build up, so enemies can easily dodge it."

"But given enough time, if the gathered storm clouds grow large enough, the lightning they unleash will be incredibly powerful!"

"The second is a passive effect. It can store the power of lightning that strikes me inside my external soul bone, Thunder God's Spine, and even convert it into soul power for me to use!"

"This...!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were stunned once again.

"That's far too powerful! It not only has an offensive soul skill, but a recovery effect too!"

"As expected of an external soul bone produced by a Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Oh, right, what about your second soul skill? What does it do?"

Remembering Lin Hao's second soul skill, Chrysanthemum Douluo asked again.

"Hmm!"

Lin Hao pondered for a moment, and the second soul ring circling him suddenly lit up.

Amid a ripple of soul power, a chrysanthemum appeared in his hand. It resembled a singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, but its petals were as clear and translucent as amethyst, with threads of lightning flowing across them.

"My second soul skill is called Singular Velvet Sky God Transformation!"

"It likewise creates an edible singular velvet sky chrysanthemum with special effects."

"After eating this singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, a soul master can immediately enter the thunder god transformation state."

"Except for defense, strength, speed, attack power, and all other aspects will increase by twofold!"

"Besides that, physical attacks will also be enhanced by the power of thunder, carrying lightning with them!"

"Except for defense, all physical attributes increase by twofold? And it grants the power of lightning too?"

For a moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both sucked in a sharp breath, utterly astonished.

"The effects of this soul skill nearly match an ordinary soul master's ten-thousand-year fifth soul skill!"

Ghost Douluo could not help muttering to himself.

"As expected of a soul skill produced by a Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine!"

At that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo puffed out his chest proudly and said,

"It's not just the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine. Little Hao's singular velvet sky chrysanthemum martial soul has innate full soul power, and its quality can be called immortal grade!"

"That's important too!"

After successfully absorbing the soul ring of the three-thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine, along with an external soul bone,

and having previously consumed a Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Spirit Ginseng,

Lin Hao's cultivation leaped straight from rank twenty to rank twenty-six Soul Grandmaster!

Afterward, Lin Hao set off on the journey back to Spirit City with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Once they returned to Spirit City,

Lin Hao resumed his daily schedule of school and cultivation at the Chrysanthemum Residence.

However, now that he had advanced to Soul Grandmaster and obtained his second soul skill,

Lin Hao greatly reduced the number of Spirit-Gathering Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums he made each day.

Apart from those he gave to his teacher, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo, as well as those promised to Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan,

Lin Hao only created Spirit-Gathering Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums for himself when he cultivated each day, consuming them to aid his cultivation.

At other times,

Lin Hao used his second soul skill, Singular Velvet Sky God Transformation, to create thunder god velvet sky chrysanthemums for consumption.

As the product of a three-thousand-year food system soul skill,

the thunder god velvet sky chrysanthemums created through his second soul skill, Singular Velvet Sky God Transformation,

had medicinal effects that tempered his body and improved his physical attributes,

many times stronger than those of the Spirit-Gathering Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums created through his First Soul Skill: Singular Velvet Sky Gathering!

And after obtaining his thunder-attribute second soul ring and advancing to Soul Grandmaster,

apart from attending school every morning and cultivating every afternoon,

since he had already learned almost all of his teacher Chrysanthemum Douluo's knowledge of herbology and soul beast studies,

his evening cultivation schedule

changed from studying herbology and soul beast studies to developing self-created soul skills!

That was right!

Because food system soul masters had no offensive soul skills,

Lin Hao's plan from the outset had been to find ways to obtain soul skills with offensive effects, as well as create soul skills of his own!

And now that he had obtained a thunder-attribute second soul ring and could convert soul power into the power of lightning,

Lin Hao naturally intended to begin attempting to create his own soul skills.
