Terrifying Third Soul Skill

"It really is a bit useless, but it's better than nothing, right?!"

Xu Yang did not feel dissatisfied. Just the fact that it had evolved his Third Soul Ring into a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring meant he had not lost out. Besides, this was still a soul bone, something others could beg for and never obtain. And an External Soul Bone could evolve as his cultivation improved. No one could say what level it might reach in the future; perhaps one day, it would become an indispensable part of him.

"That's true!" Madam Ning nodded in agreement, then looked at the Sun Sacred Blade in Xu Yang's left hand and continued asking, "And Yang Er, your Third Soul Skill should be more than just this, right?! It's a Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill, after all!"

Even one that had just entered ten-thousand-year level was still ten-thousand-year level.

"I sensed it just now. My Third Soul Skill has four uses in total. What I showed earlier was only the first, one of its two conventional methods, I suppose! The other conventional method is to condense Soul Power on my hand and use my hand as a blade. It can achieve the same effect."

"The remaining two are impressive. First is..."

As he spoke, Xu Yang dispersed the Sun Sacred Blade in his left hand. Then his Second and Third Soul Rings lit up at the same time, and the Sun Martial Soul behind his head instantly split off a Little Sun into his left hand, transforming into a Sun Sacred Sword burning with Golden Flame.

He swung again at the already ravaged tree beside him, and the tree, which had originally been cut into two sections, instantly became four.

Watching from the side, Madam Ning's pupils contracted. Just now, she had actually seen Xu Yang's Sun Sacred Sword fuse fire and light into one, turning them into a slash. Whether in speed or power, that slash far surpassed the one swung out by the soul bone by several times. Even a Soul Ancestor would be unable to dodge it without predicting it in advance.

"This is the third use of my Third Soul Skill: turning my Martial Soul into the Sun Sacred Sword. Its power is incomparable to something condensed from Soul Power!"

Xu Yang smiled faintly. This was an idea he had had long ago, and it had also been verified when he shaped the soul bone just now. Since he could use a soul skill to shape a soul bone, he could naturally use a soul skill to shape his Martial Soul as well, making the Martial Soul take on the form of the Sun Sacred Blade.

"As for the fourth method, it's directly using my Martial Soul's main body to spew out a gigantic Sun Sacred Blade and slash at the enemy. The Soul Power consumption is terrifying. Even with me as I am now, one strike would probably drain a third of my Soul Power."

Xu Yang did not demonstrate the fourth soul skill. There was honestly no need. It was enough to explain the ability; with his mistress's cultivation, she could naturally picture it. After all, she had lived for so long—what kind of soul skill had she not seen?

"Not bad. It wasn't in vain that you kept thinking about this Sun Sacred Beetle for so long!" Hearing the effects of this Third Soul Skill, a trace of shock also flashed through Madam Ning's eyes. This single soul skill was already stronger than many Spirit Masters' Sixth Soul Skill, and it even had so many uses. It was absolutely a top-grade soul skill.

"Of course. The Spirit Beast I chose has to be the one most suited to me!"

Xu Yang replied smugly. Then he put away his Martial Soul, shifted his gaze to the External Soul Bone in his right hand, and began using his will to manipulate it, wanting to retract it. This process was far more difficult than he had imagined. The External Soul Bone had only just been absorbed and had not completely fused yet, so he could not control it freely at all.

Golden Light flickered in his palm, and the soul bone kept contracting. But every time it reached the final step, it simply could not merge into his metacarpal bone.

"Calm your mind, steady your breathing. Follow the movement of your Soul Power the way you put away your Martial Soul. Don't force it!"

Just then, his mistress's voice sounded beside Xu Yang's ear. At the same time, the soul bone that had originally been forcefully contracting seemed to gain a rhythm. With each breath, it slowly shrank, finally merging into his metacarpal bone.

However, Xu Yang could still feel a foreign object in his palm that was beyond his control, as if it might emerge from his palm at any moment.

"This External Soul Bone is so hard to control!" Xu Yang frowned slightly. If he could not control this soul bone freely, and it suddenly popped out while he was sleeping, that would be a huge problem.

Seeing Xu Yang's expression, Madam Ning inwardly laughed and scolded, He's getting the benefit and still acting aggrieved. Then she comforted him, "It's fine. Don't worry. It's only because the soul bone hasn't completely fused yet. Once it fully fuses, it will be a part of you, and you'll be able to control it freely!"

"I know! It's just that the foreign feeling in my palm makes me feel a little uncomfortable!"

"All right! Let's go!"

Since the soul ring had already been obtained, there was no need for Xu Yang and the others to remain in Sunset Forest any longer. It was better to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect early so he could consolidate his cultivation and study his Third Soul Skill along the way.

The Third Soul Skill, Sun Sacred Sword, was not what he had originally sought. What he had sought was the shaping technique contained in the process of using the soul skill. That way, what he could shape would not be limited to the Sun Sacred Sword, but also blades, spears, swords, staffs, and even everything he could think of.

And this technique would become another core among his entire Nine Soul Skills besides his Second Soul Skill Split. To some extent, this soul skill was even above his Second Soul Skill Split.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, inside the Simulated Cultivation Environment.

Xu Yang used his Third Soul Skill over and over, trying to constantly change the shape of the Sun Sacred Blade during the formation of the soul skill. He wanted to turn it from its original Tang Blade form into a sword. As long as he could succeed, it would prove that his guess was correct.

For several days in a row, Xu Yang cultivated inside the Mimicry Environment, using his Third Soul Skill, recovering his Soul Power, cultivating, using his soul skill, recovering his Soul Power... He repeated this cycle continuously, all for the purpose of changing the shape of the Sun Sacred Sword.

Fortunately, heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard. Finally, on the seventh day, he successfully changed the Sun Sacred Blade into the Sun Sacred Sword, and even condensed a Wolf Tooth Club at the end.

After swinging the Wolf Tooth Club several times, Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction and slowly dispersed the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand. The first step was complete. After his level of Soul Power control improved, what he would be able to continuously shape would not just be weapons, but any object.

He had even thought of using this ability to directly shape a Soul Tool.

However, to reach that level, according to Xu Yang's guess, he would at least need Micro Control-level control.

His cultivation was temporarily over, and Xu Yang was also preparing to return to Tiandu Royal Academy. Having taken leave for so long in a row was not good in the end.

During this period, Xu Yang also discovered that when he did not use his Martial Soul and the Mimicry Environment to assist his cultivation, his cultivation speed dropped by thirty percent. This was still with residual medicinal power from the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in his body. If it were other extreme Spirit Masters, the decrease would likely be even greater.

However, with the assistance of his Martial Soul and the Martial Soul Mimicry Environment, his cultivation speed was not slow at all. Instead, it was still quite a bit faster. There was no problem with cultivating the same way as before; his speed would not weaken.

His teacher Ning Fengzhi, Ning Haiyan, and the others had still not returned. It was truly too difficult for a Soul Douluo to find a suitable soul ring. Spending half a year, or even one or two years, was possible.

And during this period, all affairs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were handled by Madam Ning.

So before returning to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he still had to go find his mistress and let her know.
