"Heavens! This... is actually an external soul bone?"
"We've really struck it rich this time..."
Nobody present was a fool. After a brief moment of stunned silence, they all understood the deeper meaning of Lin Xiao's words.
Ghost Leopard Douluo was shocked at first. Then wild delight spread across his face.
"Dean, I know what soul bones are, but what's an external soul bone?"
Shui Yue'er asked quietly, looking puzzled.
This was the first time she had heard the term in her entire life.
Although she did not fully understand what it meant, anything with "soul bone" in its name had to be extraordinary.
After Shui Yue'er asked her question, Shui Bing'er discreetly pricked up her ears as well.
She was also very curious about what an external soul bone was, to have moved both Ghost Leopard Douluo and the Dean so deeply.
"As everyone knows, soul bones fall into six major categories, such as right arm bones and spinal bones. External soul bones are special existences outside those six categories.
"If the chance of an ordinary soul bone appearing in a soul beast is one in a thousand, then the chance of an external soul bone appearing is less than one in ten thousand."
"In fact, until now, I had even thought external soul bones might exist only in written records."
The Dean of Skywater had calmed down by now and spoke in a low voice.
Still, a wistful look inevitably surfaced in her eyes.
"Then why haven't the academy's teachers ever taught us about such important treasures?"
Shui Yue'er asked in confusion.
"The main reason is that they're simply too rare..."
The Dean of Skywater gave a bitter smile. "External soul bones are like legends. Many people even believe they are nothing more than legends, products of imagination.
