In the ravaged woods.
Gu Yang and the others all had their eyes fixed on the sight before them.
It was a neatly arranged row of... Soul Bones!
That was right, Soul Bones!
Seven in total shone with their own light. Although they had already been cleaned, traces of blood still lingered within them.
These were also the spoils of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's operation.
On the far left was a miniature right arm bone, black throughout. Its deep black surface was smooth and subdued, but its powerful, violent energy fluctuations were enough to shock everyone present. Clearly, this was an extremely formidable power-attack-type right arm bone. Although it was not at the hundred-thousand-year level, it was unquestionably among the finest Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.
Next was a similarly miniature left leg bone, dark cyan in color. Although it was not as violent as the right arm bone, its own energy fluctuations were no weaker.
Clearly, these two Soul Bones were the Clear Sky Sect's inherited sect Soul Bones that Tang Hao had received.
Apart from these two, the other four Soul Bones were all at the ten-thousand-year level, but their quality and the strength of the energy they contained were clearly inferior to those two. Even the rare Ten Thousand Year Torso Bone was no exception. These were presumably the Soul Bones Tang Hao had acquired himself during his travels and training.
Of course, if Soul Bones he acquired himself could easily crush those two inherited Soul Bones of the Clear Sky Sect, the sect's worth would have been far too low.
Even leaving aside those two Clear Sky Sect Soul Bones, Tang Hao's other four Soul Bones would immediately spark a scramble if they appeared on the Douluo Continent.
After all, these were Soul Bones, and Soul Bones that Tang Hao had deemed worthy, at that.
But for Gu Yang and the other three, the real main event had never been these Soul Bones, nor those two inherited Soul Bones of the Clear Sky Sect.
It was the right leg bone on the far right.
Although right leg bones ranked relatively low among Soul Bone positions, that did nothing to diminish the importance everyone attached to it now.
Because this was the greatest objective of their journey.
That right leg bone from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
Looking at the crystalline, translucent blue-gold right leg bone, Bone Douluo could not help saying, "This Tang Hao was an interesting one. He absorbed the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, yet kept this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone without using it himself."
"After all, it belonged to his late wife. Naturally, Tang Hao was unwilling to use it, or perhaps he was saving it for his child. As for that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, I imagine he absorbed it because he had no other choice," Gu Yang replied.
Looking at that row of seven Soul Bones, even Ning Fengzhi, who commanded the immensely wealthy Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, could not remain entirely calm.
"Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu already have complete sets of six Soul Bones, so you should absorb these Soul Bones, Gu Yang."
"All of them?" Gu Yang asked instinctively.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind them. With the sect's wealth, assembling suitable complete sets of six Soul Bones for them was not difficult.
After all, even Ning Rongrong had said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not lack Soul Bones.
Gu Yang simply had not expected Ning Fengzhi to be so generous.
Perhaps it was because he had just saved his life.
Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu have no use for them, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is already directing its resources toward you. Rather than let these Soul Bones gather dust, we might as well let you put them to full use."
"Moreover, as a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao chose and used Soul Bones that were first-rate matches for a Battle Soul Master. You can absolutely use them to complete your full set of Soul Bones!"
Neither Sword Douluo nor Bone Douluo objected. After all, they had always regarded Gu Yang as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's future.
Gu Yang picked up the blue-gold Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. It felt cool in his hand. Then he said, "Uncle Ning, Grandpa, Grandpa Jian, I'll choose this hundred-thousand-year right leg bone for now. As for the other Soul Bones, they can wait. If I can't find suitable ones later, I'll consider absorbing these!"
"You brat, do you think Soul Bones are so easy to come across, much less ones that suit you? Inheriting Tang Hao's Soul Bone set now would definitely be enormously beneficial to your strength! How many Soul Masters your age can assemble a complete Soul Bone set?" Bone Douluo immediately countered.
For an ordinary Soul Master, things were indeed just as Bone Douluo had said.
But Gu Yang was not among them. He truly had little regard for Tang Hao's set of Soul Bones. Never mind those four unknown Soul Bones-even the two inherited by the Clear Sky Sect did not catch his eye.
Just as Gu Yang was preparing to laboriously persuade Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi came to his rescue. "Uncle Gu, Gu Yang has lofty ambitions. His aspirations reach far beyond these few Soul Bones. Since he has such aspirations, we should support him. Perhaps his Soul Bones really will all reach the hundred-thousand-year level someday, haha. After all, Tang Hao had not achieved nearly so much at Gu Yang's age!"
Since Ning Fengzhi had gone that far, Bone Douluo could hardly keep trying to persuade him.
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones?
How could it be that easy!
Perhaps once Gu Yang ran into the wall of reality, he would abandon that impractical idea and obediently absorb this set of Soul Bones.
Holding the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Gu Yang took a deep breath and pressed it against his right leg.
Yet after the initial cool comfort, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone became scorching hot. Gu Yang could distinctly feel a sense of rejection coming from within it.
The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone carried a trace of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor's awareness. Perhaps because Gu Yang and the others had plotted to kill Tang Hao, or perhaps because this Soul Bone had been intended for Tang San, it was now rejecting Gu Yang of its own accord.
Had it been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Beast, Gu Yang might have been unable to do anything to it.
But a mere Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Arm Bone could not stir up any waves in his hands.
Moreover, with his Shikotsumyaku, Gu Yang was the natural bane of all bones.
Bone spikes emerged one after another from his right leg, then wound around the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
As the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor was enveloped by the Shikotsumyaku within Gu Yang's body, its formerly fierce will to resist was instantly sliced into pieces. In the end, Gu Yang forcibly fused with and absorbed it.
After he absorbed it, a powerful presence brimming with vitality spread throughout Gu Yang's body.
The Soul Power around Gu Yang actually shimmered with a faint blue-gold radiance. Soon, that blue-gold radiance receded and turned white again.
Starting from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, all his meridians actually turned a faint blue. The vitality of every inch of his flesh and bones was increasing exponentially.
Naturally, the benefits the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone brought Gu Yang were not limited to this effect alone.
After carefully sensing the changes in his body, Gu Yang wore a look that said everything was as expected.
Because of Shikotsumyaku, Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones possessed two Soul Bone Skills, just like Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
And now, under Shikotsumyaku's influence, a genuine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone likewise possessed not merely two skills, but one additional skill.
Three skills in total!
