" Xiao Gang, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"
In a dark and damp cave, Liu Erlong pinched his nose, trying to suppress the strong stench. He was quite dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang's choice.
Not to mention Liu Erlong, a great beauty, even Flender stuffed his nostrils tightly with leaves and wore a mask specially made by Yu Xiaogang.
"It should be safe here now. With those Night Moon Bat guarding the entrance outside, no one can sneak in unnoticed."
Yu Xiaogang, who was also wearing a mask, was very satisfied with the location he had chosen. Although the smell was a bit strong, it was safe.
If what's in that stone box is truly as they imagine, its value is immeasurable. Once it's leaked, the three of them will have a hard time protecting themselves, and might even face death.
"Although I've never actually seen it with my own eyes before, I'm more than 70% sure that this is the legendary Soul Bone, and it's the Head Soul Bone, which is second only to the torso bone."
Despite its single eye, it was created by Soul Beast at least ten thousand years old.
Once he was certain that the place was absolutely safe, Yu Xiaogang carefully took the stone box out of his Storage Soul Tool and opened it in front of Liu Erlong and Flender.
These two were his partners who had shared life and death with him, and were absolutely trustworthy. He also intended to give this Head Soul Bone to one of them.
After all, he was a good-for-nothing, so even if he obtained this Soul Bone, it wouldn't be of much use to him. Refining it for himself would be a complete waste of his talents.
This supreme treasure of the Soul Master World can only be fully realized when placed in the hands of a powerful individual.
Undoubtedly, both Flender and Liu Erlong are more suitable for this Soul Bone than this good-for-nothing.
" Soul Bone!"
Flender and Liu Erlong exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.
They had heard of Soul Bone, a supreme treasure in the Soul Master World, but such treasures were exclusive to Titled Douluo- level beings, and even most Titled Douluo could hardly collect six Soul Bone.
Those of them who have just reached the Soul Saint level have never even seen a Soul Bone, let alone possess one.
And now they have actually obtained a Soul Bone, and it is Head Soul Bone, which is second only to the torso bone. Its value is truly immeasurable.
" Soul Bone can only exert their strongest effect when wielded by the most powerful individuals. The Soul Skill associated with Head Soul Bone are generally related to the Soul Master's mental strength. Flender, Erlong, tell me, which of you needs this Soul Bone more?"
Yu Xiaogang pushed the Soul Bone in front of the two of them without the slightest reluctance.
As a pure theoretical researcher, he was only interested in studying this thing. Only after Soul Master refined it could the secrets within the Soul Bone be known. All he needed to do next was have Liu Erlong or Flender cooperate with him to study and record the data.
" Erlong..."
Flender immediately offered to give the Soul Bone to Liu Erlong, the youngest and only woman among the Golden Iron Triangle.
But before he could even open his mouth, Liu Erlong casually tossed the Soul Bone into his arms.
"I don't want to put such a disgusting eyeball inside my body. You should do it, Boss Fu Boss Fu. With this Head Soul Bone, your perception will definitely be greatly enhanced, which perfectly matches your nickname, Four-Eyed Owl."
"Yes, Flender, compared to Erlong, I also think this eye-shaped Soul Bone is more suitable for you. Our safety from now on depends on you!"
Yu Xiaogang also spoke up to persuade him, genuinely believing that Flender was more suitable for this Soul Bone.
"Alright, I won't thank you between siblings. I'll protect you with my life from now on!"
Flender wasn't one to be coy. Seeing that Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang had both said so, and considering his own interest in the Soul Bone, he didn't refuse any further.
However, when Flender followed Yu Xiaogang's instructions and poured his Soul Power into the eye-shaped Soul Bone in preparation for refining it, he found that his Soul Power was pulverized by some inexplicable force as soon as he poured it in, making it impossible to refine.
" Xiao Gang, do Soul Bone recognize people too? How come my Soul Power was pulverized as soon as I entered it? There's no way to refine this thing."
With a pained expression, Flender didn't understand what was going on either.
Logically, with his Soul Saint level cultivation, he should be able to refine this small Soul Bone, so why can't he do it in practice?
"That shouldn't be the case! The refining techniques for Soul Bone are generally the same. As long as it's Soul Bone, it can be refined using this technique, even the legendary External Soul Bone."
Yu Xiaogang was also frowning and deep in thought, equally unable to understand where the problem lay.
"I'll give it a try!"
Liu Erlong took the Soul Bone from Flender and tried it with her own Soul Power, but it was also crushed by an inexplicable force within it.
" Xiao Gang, why don't you give it a try!"
With a slight frown, Liu Erlong handed the Soul Bone to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang originally didn't want to waste this precious Soul Bone, since once the skull Soul Bone was refined, it couldn't be taken out unless his head was cut off.
But the current situation was unexpected, so he decided to give it a try.
Upon receiving this infusion of Soul Power, the bead-shaped Soul Bone immediately shone with a dazzling mystical light, shooting into Yu Xiaogang's brow before anyone could react, opening a vertical eye in his brow.
This Soul Bone originated from the third eye between the eyebrows of the Three-Eyed Demon Ape, so after Soul Master refines it, it will generally appear in the area between the eyebrows.
"This thing really recognizes people!"
Flender was dumbfounded, unaware that his glasses had fallen to the ground.
Liu Erlong was equally shocked. She had only intended to give it a try, but she never expected that Yu Xiaogang would actually succeed.
However, the changes were not over yet. Rays of Purple Gold light gathered and shone between Yu Xiaogang's eyebrows, and then, without Yu Xiaogang actively summoning it, his Martial Soul Luo Sanpao actually manifested on its own.
This time, Luo Sanpao's appearance was very different from before. Just like Yu Xiaogang had before, a vertical eye appeared between his eyebrows.
Liu Erlong and Flender's gazes suddenly shifted to Yu Xiaogang, and sure enough, the vertical eye that had been between his eyebrows had disappeared, clearly moving to Luo Sanpao.
"I understand. This Soul Bone is different from ordinary Soul Bone. It can only be refined under specific conditions. Xiao Gang was able to resonate with this Soul Bone and refine it directly because he possesses the Mutated Martial Soul Sanpao."
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang, then at Luo Sanpao who now had an extra eye, and with a look of Satori, automatically filled in the blanks in his mind regarding this series of strange changes.
"That does seem to make sense!"
Flender nodded in agreement.
After all, the biggest difference between Yu Xiaogang and the other two is his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao. Although they are all Beast Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao is special. It can exist independently and has considerable intelligence.
Moreover, their signature move, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Golden Sacred Dragon, was evolved from Luo Sanpao, which is enough to prove that Luo Sanpao is no ordinary person.
"Roar!"
Luo Sanpao blinked his big, innocent eyes, then seemed to notice the extra eye between his eyebrows and looked around curiously.
At the same time, Yu Xiaogang also had a new perspective in his mind, which was viewed from the angle of the vertical eye of the Soul Bone between Luo Sanpao's eyebrows.
However, even with Yu Xiaogang's composure, he couldn't help but be greatly surprised when he saw this scene.
In the vision in his mind, the bodies of the three of them appeared semi-transparent, with their bones, blood vessels, and even internal organs clearly visible, and even the meridians through which their Soul Power circulated were faintly visible.
Clearly, this is a kind of insightful Soul Bone. This discovery surprised Yu Xiaogang greatly, but also filled him with immense excitement.
For a research geek, is there anything more suitable than this kind of Soul Bone?
He wouldn't trade it even for a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone; this Soul Bone was just too perfect for him, practically made for him.
" Xiao Gang, what's wrong?"
Noticing Yu Xiaogang's unusual behavior, Liu Erlong asked him with concern.
"I'm fine. It's just that this Soul Bone is too suitable for me. The Soul Skill it carries allows me to see all aspects of our internal bodies, even the Soul Power meridians. This is of great significance to my research."
Yu Xiaogang excitedly explained, and Liu Erlong Flender were also happy for him.
"Finally got this guy under control. From now on, all I need to do is influence his subconscious."
What the three of them didn't know was that Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief at the eye Soul Bone between Luo Sanpao.
The original Soul Skill of this Soul Bone could not possibly be so overpowered; it was merely a way to enhance perception, allowing the Soul Master to see more clearly and further.
This is a modified and copied version of his, but this insight ability is secondary. Its main function is to serve as a vessel for his consciousness to descend, thereby influencing Yu Xiaogang's subconscious and allowing him to complete his plan without being aware of it.
The reason it appeared on Luo Sanpao's forehead was to dispel the last doubts of the three. After all, this was the only difference between Yu Xiaogang and the other two. Only in this way could the situation of the Soul Bone rejecting Flender and Liu Erlong's Soul Power be explained.
With things temporarily settled here, Wang Hao's consciousness returned, and he re-entered Bibi Dong's realm.
Nightfall has fallen; it's time to guide that girl in her cultivation.
As soon as he used the Soul Tool sphere to condense his body, he was somewhat bewildered by the scene before him.
Looking at his still relatively intact boudoir, and then at the ruins of the other half, Wang Hao blinked blankly, not understanding what had happened.
"Could it be that Tang Chen stormed the Spirit Hall?"
The first thought that popped into Wang Hao's mind was that this was the Spirit Hall, the strongest force on the Douluo Continent, and also the residence of the current Pope. Anyone who could get this far was definitely not an ordinary person.
At this stage, only Tang Chen, who has reached level 100 and become a god, has this ability.
" Dong'er, with your cultivation greatly diminished, you are no match for me. You should return the Pope to your master!"
A cold laugh came from outside the boudoir. Wang Hao sneaked to the side of the ruins and looked up. He found a Six-Winged Angel standing in mid-air, and a heroic man was held in the angel's palm.
Below stood a spider that appeared to be crafted from black crystal, and atop the spider's head stood a graceful figure dressed in a black dress—who else could it be but Bibi Dong?
" Qian Xunji? Why is that guy fighting with Bibi Dong?"
Wang Hao was greatly puzzled, but he didn't seem worried about Bibi Dong.
Although Bibi Dong's cultivation level plummeted to the Spirit Emperor level due to the degeneration of her own Martial Soul, her strength actually increased rather than decreased.
It should be noted that in addition to the Soul Power Body Refinement, Bibi Dong also cultivated the Dream Consciousness Cultivation Method created by Wang Hao, and has completely mastered the first layer of dreams.
Having mastered the first layer of the dream realm, Bibi Dong is now able to retain her consciousness within the dream and simultaneously control her body in battle.
This means that Bibi Dong's thinking speed has increased a hundredfold. Although it is impossible to directly increase her physical speed a hundredfold, it is still a huge improvement.
Therefore, even though he only had the cultivation level of Spirit Emperor, he was still able to fight to a standstill with Qian Xunji, who was at the Titled Douluo level.
If Qian Xunji hadn't been able to fly, he would have been killed by Bibi Dong long ago.
To be honest, Qian Xunji was in a real dilemma. He had only heard from his subordinates that Bibi Dong's cultivation might have encountered problems and that her cultivation level was showing signs of decline.
He wanted to seize this opportunity to reclaim his Pope; only by returning to the Pope could he reclaim everything he had lost and prepare for his next plan.
But who would have thought that Bibi Dong, that bitch, did indeed have a greatly reduced Soul Power cultivation as reported, but her strength had increased instead of decreased. In particular, her extremely strange speed almost pierced his body with her Dark Spider Spear several times.
Even if one were Titled Douluo, they wouldn't fare well; they might even be killed on the spot.
