Night fell quietly. Before the campfire, Zhao Wuji was devouring a bear leg, but his attention never left Shangguan Hong.
The ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had already entered Shangguan Hong's body, and the absorption of the Soul Ring was nearing its end! Zhao Wuji unconsciously stopped chewing. He stared intently at Shangguan Hong. With his Soul Saint level cultivation, he could not miss the fluctuations of Soul Power on Shangguan Hong's body.
Click--
There seemed to be a barely perceptible cracking sound.
Immediately afterward, the fluctuations of Shangguan Hong's Soul Power suddenly changed, rising from level 40 to level 41, then level 42, level 43... until it stopped at the peak of level 43, at which point the powerful fluctuations of Soul Power ceased. Zhao Wuji, who witnessed all this, was stunned. The bear leg in his hand had fallen to the ground at some point, but now was clearly not the time to be concerned about food.
"A ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring actually raised this kid's Soul Power to nearly level 44?"
Zhao Wuji vaguely remembered absorbing a Fourth Soul Ring ring that was stuck at its limit back then, and at that time he had only broken through from level 40 to the peak of level 41! But now, Shangguan Hong had only absorbed one Soul Ring, and his Soul Power had jumped to the peak of level 43! Don't underestimate these two levels of Soul Power. It would probably take a whole year for a talented Soul Ancestor to break through two levels, let alone those ordinary Soul Ancestor! It can be said that absorbing this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was well worth it!
'The fourth Soul Skill is something like this?! Damn! Is this really going to be a huge power spike?'
Shangguan Hong opened his eyes, feeling the abundant Soul Power within his body and the brand-new Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill. He was stunned at first, then his face was filled with joy.
The Soul Skill granted by this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring is incredibly powerful!
"How's Shangguan's Fourth Soul Skill? Isn't it incredibly awesome?"
Before Shangguan Hong could even process his Fourth Soul Skill, Zhao Wuji's large face loomed close. Without hesitation, Shangguan Hong revealed the details of his Fourth Soul Skill, though not all of it. He only disclosed that his Fourth Soul Skill could summon a stone statue with extremely strong defense and considerable power, making it a true tank.
"Hmm, not bad, that's a steal! To get a description of your kid's incredibly strong defense, it seems to be much stronger than your third Soul Skill! Now you Little Monster have a real front-line fighter!"
Zhao Wuji nodded in satisfaction, and what he said was true. Shangguan Hong's fourth Soul Skill completely overwhelmed Mordekaiser's Third Soul Skill in terms of defense. Not only that, but it also had a rather exaggerated little skill.
Having obtained the Soul Ring, Shangguan Hong broke through to level 43. For Zhao Wuji, this trip was already complete, and not only that...
"Hey kid, you're in luck. This is something that the Earth Demon Bear dropped. Absorb it!"
As Zhao Wuji spoke, he tossed out something that was flashing with light. Shangguan Hong quickly caught it, and after taking a closer look, he was completely stunned.
Because what appeared in his hand was an extremely complete left leg bone, its entire surface gleaming with a golden light!
Left leg bone of the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Demon Bear!
His luck was incredibly good; he casually killed a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and actually obtained a very rare Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone?
Shangguan Hong was extremely surprised. The rarity of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was self-evident. Even powerful figures like Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall did not possess one! This was something that could cause Titled Douluo- level powerhouses to fight over!
On the other hand, faced with such a priceless treasure, why didn't Zhao Wuji claim it for himself?
It's important to understand that Shangguan Hong couldn't detect any outside activity while absorbing the Soul Ring. Even if Zhao Wuji quietly pocketed the Soul Bone, it would all be done without anyone knowing! To put it bluntly, even if Zhao Wuji had the intention to kill and steal the treasure, Shangguan Hong would be powerless to stop him! Don't doubt the preciousness of Soul Bone, especially a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone from a bear-type Soul Beast like this. For Zhao Wuji, who possesses the Great Strength Vajra Bear Martial Soul, the value of this Soul Bone is no less than that of an ordinary 30,000-year-old Soul Bone.
It is indeed a treasure!
Shangguan Hong fell silent. He looked up at Zhao Wuji, who was grinning at him, then lowered his head again to look at the Soul Bone in his hand.
" Teacher Zhao, you rascal!"
Shangguan Hong turned around, rubbing his eyes as if deeply moved, a sight that made Zhao Wuji burst into laughter.
However, unseen by Zhao Wuji, a dark purple Soul Power suddenly appeared in Shangguan Hong's palm, and his Soul Bone emitted a faint cracking sound, as if something was forcibly drilling into it...
" Teacher Zhao, you should absorb this Soul Bone! A mere ten-thousand-year Soul Bone is not worthy of me; I'm destined to become Titled Douluo!"
Seeing Shangguan Hong's hesitation, Zhao Wuji watched as the boy gritted his teeth and threw the Soul Bone back the way he came. Even this Soul Saint- level expert was stunned. He absolutely refused to believe that Shangguan Hong didn't understand how precious Soul Bone was! Titled Douluo? What's so special about Titled Douluo? There are countless Titled Douluo without Soul Bone! And now, such a treasure was placed right in front of a 12-year-old boy, yet he could resist the temptation and gratefully give him the Soul Bone?
Zhao Wuji wasn't a coy person, but it took him a long time to come to his senses. Then, with red eyes, he laughed and scolded.
This Soul Bone was indeed very tempting to him; in fact, he had hesitated for a long time when Shangguan Hong was absorbing the Soul Ring. But he was the teacher; how could he steal his disciple's opportunity?
So he chose to part with it, never expecting that his student would also be grateful to him and choose to give him the Soul Bone!
As a teacher, having such a student is an incredible blessing!
After much back and forth, Zhao Wuji, deeply moved by the desire for the Soul Bone Soul Bone Shangguan Hong's firm stance, finally accepted it and sat cross-legged to begin absorbing it.
'A ten-thousand-year-old Soul Bone is nothing special! It's not precious, and you can't extract much value from it. At the very least, it's definitely not worth as much as a Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo!'
Watching Zhao Wuji absorb the Soul Bone, Shangguan Hong's expression changed instantly, from hesitation and gratitude to calmness, like a stagnant pool.
' The Nashor's Tooth has been planted. In the future, I can find some rare and precious herbs for Zhao Wuji to consume, helping him break through to the Soul Douluo! The day I break through to the Soul Emperor level will be the day the Nashor's Tooth refines into Soul Douluo! At that time, with the intact Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, plus enough blood food to help me break through at least two levels of Soul Power, the future will be promising!'
As darkness fell, Shangguan Hong's eyes completely merged into the darkness, only occasionally emitting a captivating purple light.
Shangguan Hong has never felt guilty about scheming. He would never pretend to be a gentleman; he's just a scoundrel who would do anything to become stronger!
As for the so-called friendship...
Ha, even the person he is now is an act; his so-called affection is not even as good as the Blue Silver Grass by the roadside!
