[One Soul Ring, Two Soul Skills]
At the same time, he was extraordinarily gifted. His Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul was a super Martial Soul, and he also possessed Innate Full Soul Power.
After absorbing and refining the Heavenly Dipper Bug's defensive Soul Ring, he obtained the defensive Soul Skill: [White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense].
It was a truly one-of-a-kind, top-grade defensive Soul Skill that could defend against physical, energy, and spiritual attacks at the same time.
And that was only one of his gains.
As far as Soul Skills were concerned, Dai Mubai had another astonishing gain.
The Heavenly Dipper Bug's defensive Soul Ring had provided him not with one Soul Skill, but a full two.
When Dai Mubai discovered this, even he, a transmigrator, was stunned.
After all, whether a Soul Ring was ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years old, it would only provide a Soul Master with one Soul Skill once attached.
Only a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring could grant a Soul Master two Soul Skills-
Dai Mubai had not expected to gain two Soul Skills from absorbing a single purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Of course, having gone through the entire process of absorption and refinement, Dai Mubai also understood why.
The Heavenly Dipper Bug's defensive Soul Ring had not produced two Soul Skills because the Heavenly Dipper Bug was so rare, although it truly was an incomparably precious and rare Soul Beast that existed only in legend.
The reason the Soul Ring had actually produced two Soul Skills lay in the later stages of his absorption and refinement of it, when he discovered that, besides its immense Soul Power, it also contained a special power.
This power had only appeared when the Soul Ring was nearly fully refined.
After it appeared, he intercepted and refined part of it, but a considerable amount had originally been about to dissipate.
But then, unexpectedly, just as this power was about to disappear,
Dai Mubai's divine-grade Second Martial Soul, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul, which had remained dormant all this time, suddenly released a devouring force.
This power, which had originally been about to dissipate, was intercepted and absorbed and refined in its entirety by him.
After refining this mysterious power in its entirety, Dai Mubai discovered that his First Soul Ring had provided him not with one Soul Skill, but two.
Of these two Soul Skills, one was a purely defensive Soul Skill that inherited the full, terrifying defensive power of the Heavenly Dipper Bug: [White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense].
The other inherited and retained the Heavenly Dipper Bug's sole means of attack, a charging Soul Skill formed from Fearless Charge: [White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge].
He did not know whether it was because the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul was too formidable and overbearing.
As the Heavenly Dipper Bug's only offensive Soul Skill, Fearless Charge was fairly powerful, but not especially formidable.
But after it was absorbed and integrated by the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, becoming one of its Soul Skills, the Soul Ring's Soul Skill, which should have strengthened the Martial Soul, was instead strengthened by the Martial Soul-
[White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge] had a wind-up and a straight attack trajectory, making it difficult to change direction halfway through.
But this Soul Skill made up for it with astonishing power. It also granted an unstoppable, control-immune state during use, making it difficult to interrupt or block.
In future seven-person team Soul Fights, he could open with [White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense] to shield himself, then charge headlong in with [White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge], easily breaking through the opposing formation.
Whether he charged straight at the back line to take out the carry at the start or led the whole team in a charge, it would be terrifying.
Either [White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense] or [White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge] could be said to be far more powerful than Dai Mubai's original [White Tiger Protection Barrier].
What was more, White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense and White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge complemented each other. Used together, they produced an effect where 1+1>2.
And even that was not everything Dai Mubai had gained from absorbing the Heavenly Dipper Bug's Soul Ring.
Besides the two Soul Skills, besides these two top-grade Soul Skills, one offensive and one defensive,
this ultra-rare Soul Beast, which existed only in the legends recorded in the Star Luo Imperial Family's archives, and its purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring, aged 2,643 years, had also brought Dai Mubai a supreme treasure-
That was right, Dai Mubai had also obtained a Soul Bone.
And it was the most precious and rare kind of Soul Bone, an External Soul Bone!!!
Soul Bones were precious because, once fused, they could increase a Soul Master's Soul Power, improve their physique, and grant them an additional Soul Bone Skill beyond their Soul Ring Skills-
But conventional, ordinary Soul Bones also had a few shortcomings that hardly counted as shortcomings.
A Soul Master's body could fuse with only six Soul Bones in total-one each for the head, torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, and right leg-so there was a limit to the number that could be fused.
However, treasures like Soul Bones were worth entire cities, and an ordinary Soul Master might never even see, much less obtain, one in their entire life.
Even disciples from great clans and major sects might not be able to fuse with a full set of six Soul Bones, so the minor shortcoming of a limit on the number of fused Soul Bones was no shortcoming at all.
Secondly, when an ordinary Soul Bone dropped from a Soul Beast, its age was already fixed, and it was essentially impossible for it to grow afterward.
But no matter how low its age, a Soul Bone was still a Soul Bone and a supreme treasure to a Soul Master, so the fact that its age could not be increased afterward was likewise not a shortcoming.
External Soul Bones were more precious than ordinary Soul Bones precisely because they lacked those two shortcomings.
In theory, there was no strict, clearly defined limit to the number of External Soul Bones one could fuse with.
Secondly, External Soul Bones had the capacity to grow; after fusion, they could grow along with the Soul Master-
However, Dai Mubai's Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul Martial Soul's devouring ability could devour the Soul Power and the power of flesh and blood of other Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, using them to nurture Soul Bones and increase their age.
Therefore, whether ordinary Soul Bones or External Soul Bones possessed the capacity to grow was less important to Dai Mubai.
For whether or not they possessed that capacity, Dai Mubai could make them continue to grow after fusing with them.
Of course, all of that was beside the point-
As a spiritual-type Soul Beast, the Heavenly Dipper Bug had spiritual talents and abilities that were not displayed in the two Soul Skills provided by its Soul Ring.
But after Dai Mubai obtained this External Soul Bone, the Soul Bone Skills he gained finally brought out the Heavenly Dipper Bug's spiritual talent.
Perhaps because the Heavenly Dipper Bug had an eyeball growing at the seam between the wing covers on its back, the Soul Bone it dropped was also an eye.
While refining and absorbing the Soul Ring, Dai Mubai refined and absorbed this Soul Bone along with it. In the end, it became a vertical eye between his brows.
When inactive, the eye remained hidden from sight. When activated, it appeared as a third eye between his brows, like the heavenly eye of Erlang Shen, Yang Jian.
The third eye formed from this eye Soul Bone was called the "Heavenly Dipper Vertical Eye."
And, also because of the devouring force released by his Second Martial Soul, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul,
although the Heavenly Dipper Vertical Eye was only a thousand-year-old Soul Bone, it provided Dai Mubai with two Soul Bone Skills.
Those two Soul Bone Skills were [Spiritual Detection] and [Spiritual Sharing].
That was right. The two Soul Bone Skills the Heavenly Dipper Bug's eye External Soul Bone had provided Dai Mubai were exactly the same as two of the four Soul Skills from the First Soul Ring of his descendant Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later, the two known as divine support skills-
