"The effects of this external soul bone are pretty good."
In the Soul Hunting Forest, Yun Tian's right palm had already transformed into the external soul bone from earlier, the Cold Abyss Ice Bear Palm Bone.
After Cold Abyss Ice Breath struck an enemy, it would leave a layer of ice crystals on the surface of their body.
For those with little strength, these ice crystals would blast their flesh and blood to pieces.
Even those strong enough to withstand the explosive damage from the ice crystals would still pay the price of a fifty percent reduction in speed.
Moreover, this was only its initial effect. As Yun Tian grew stronger later on, the effects of this external soul bone would grow stronger as well.
"Even its initial effect is this powerful. I wonder what it'll become once I'm a Titled Douluo."
After withdrawing the external soul bone into his body, Yun Tian climbed onto Sang Biao's back again.
The moment he climbed on, Yun Tian made a surprising discovery. Previously, riding on Sang Biao's back had always felt hot and stuffy.
This time, however, it felt cool, as though a miniature air conditioner had been installed on Sang Biao's back.
"It must be because I absorbed my first soul ring." Yun Tian stroked Sang Biao's fur.
He liked this very much. Who wouldn't enjoy staying fresh and cool while riding?
On Nuoding Academy's training field,
Tang San wiped the sweat from his forehead, his thoughts involuntarily returning to his first day of registration.
The time a dog had frightened him into running away and even made him faint outright.
At the thought, his expression turned exceptionally ugly.
"No, I have to overcome this fear right away. But how can I overcome something like this?"
Tang San crouched down dejectedly, his little head filled with questions.
"Little San, what's wrong? You look so troubled."
Just then, the "Great Damp," Yu Xiaogang, walked over. Looking at Tang San sitting on the ground with a dejected expression, he asked in puzzlement.
Hearing the voice of his great teacher, Tang San hurriedly stood up.
Only after much hesitation did he choose to tell Yu Xiaogang about the matter troubling him.
After hearing Tang San's request, Yu Xiaogang gave a mysterious smile.
His smile brimmed with inexplicable confidence and a trace of disdain that looked down upon the world.
"Little San, this is very easy to resolve. You need only face it head-on. Fight that boy. Once you win, the fear in your heart will crumble without a siege."
Back before Yu Xiaogang had awakened his martial soul, a boar in heat had rammed him and sent him flying.
If he hadn't received treatment in time, he would have lost his little brother.
From then on, he had been left with a psychological shadow over pigs, and his way of resolving it-
Had also come after he awakened his martial soul, desperately broke through level ten, and obtained his first soul ring.
Only after he went and fought a fierce battle with that boar had he resolved his fear of pigs.
Hearing his teacher's proposed method, Tang San's eyes lit up.
That's right! How had I failed to think of such a simple method?
My teacher truly is my teacher. His title as the foremost Grandmaster of theory really wasn't born of empty air!
Tang San bowed slightly in excitement and said respectfully, "Thank you, Teacher, for clearing away the fog for your disciple!"
Hahaha!
As expected of the disciple I, Yu Xiaogang, chose! One hint was all he needed!
Yu Xiaogang nodded approvingly. He was exceedingly satisfied with this disciple of his!
"Woof, woof, woof!"
Just then, barking suddenly rang out.
Hearing the barking, Tang San instantly stiffened, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
Yu Xiaogang's attention was also drawn by the barking. When he looked toward its source, his eyes momentarily lost focus.
"That's a martial soul? How is that possible? Aside from my Sanpao, how could there be a second body-detached martial soul on the Douluo Continent?!"
If there was one thing Yu Xiaogang considered most special about himself, it was that his martial soul existed outside his body.
Now that a second body-detached martial soul had appeared, it proved he was no longer the only soul master who possessed one.
In that case, what made him special would naturally disappear!
No, I must get to the bottom of this. This is perfect. I'll have Little San test this child's capabilities first.
I'll see whether his body-detached martial soul is the same as Sanpao. If it is, I won't study it. After all, it would have no research value.
Looking at Yun Tian riding Sang Biao, Yu Xiaogang felt a slight desire to take him as a disciple.
Body-detached martial souls were exceedingly unusual. Before encountering Yun Tian here, he, Yu Xiaogang, had been the only one on the entire Douluo Continent.
He, Yu Xiaogang, was not skilled at cultivation but excelled in theoretical research. What if the second person excelled in cultivation but was not skilled at theoretical research?
If that were the case, then he, Yu Xiaogang, would certainly take him as a disciple.
As long as the boy excelled in cultivation, he could research body-detached martial souls.
With his scholarship, he might be able to discover just how body-detached martial souls should be cultivated.
Then he, Yu Xiaogang, would be a Grandmaster who excelled with both pen and sword!
Of course, all of this depended on confirming that the boy could cultivate.
As for how to confirm whether the boy could cultivate, that would depend on how long he could last against this disciple of his.
"Little San, go. Your teacher believes in you. You can definitely shatter the inner demon of your fear of dogs!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded firmly at Tang San.
He would never believe Tang San could lose, because this was the disciple of Yu Xiaogang, Grandmaster Yu.
Not only was his first soul ring a hundred-year soul ring, it was also the soul ring best suited to Blue Silver Grass. There was no reason he would lose!
Hearing this, Tang San nodded firmly. Then, after letting out a deep breath, he walked straight up to Yun Tian.
Looking at Sang Biao beneath Yun Tian, Tang San could not stop his hands from trembling.
After encouraging himself inwardly, he abruptly thrust out a finger.
"Yun Tian, let's have a fight!"
Tang San had seen Yun Tian's name on Dorm Seven's list of residents.
Yun Tian looked at Tang San as though he were an idiot, utterly baffled by his actions.
He and Tang San had merely met, nothing more, yet the boy had come up and immediately demanded a fight.
This was after meeting only once. If they became enemies,
Wouldn't he simply kill him outright?!
Sure enough, God King Tang was someone to stay away from!
"Sorry, I have something to do. I'll be going."
With that, Yun Tian headed straight toward Dorm Seven with Sang Biao.
Seeing that his method of breaking the inner demon in his heart was about to fail, Tang San's expression turned anxious, and he hurriedly blocked Yun Tian's path.
"Wait, Yun Tian! As long as you fight me and beat me, I'll give you this belt!"
With that, Tang San pulled the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges off his waist.
Afraid Yun Tian would not understand how precious the belt was, he continued:
"This isn't an ordinary belt. It's a storage soul tool that can store things. What do you say? As long as you fight me and beat me, I'll give you this belt. How about it?"
Standing nearby, Yu Xiaogang felt rather displeased to see his disciple offer the gift he had given him upon accepting him as a disciple as a wager.
That was his gift to Tang San upon becoming his teacher! How much Tang San treasured that belt showed how much respect he held for his teacher!
Now that Tang San had brought it out as though it were a plaything, he was naturally extremely unhappy.
He was just about to reprimand Tang San when his mind, possessed of world-shaking wisdom, suddenly thought of a method,
One that would make Tang San respect him even more without costing him anything.
