[External Soul Bone: Spiritual Detection / Sharing]

If there really was a difference...

It was probably that Dai Mubai's Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing were Soul Bone Skills provided by the Heavenly Dipper Bug's eyeball External Soul Bone.

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing were Soul Ring skills.

Secondly, Huo Yuhao's First Soul Ring was a Million-Year Soul Ring obtained through the sacrifice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, a million-year spiritual-type Soul Beast.

Not only did the Soul Ring have a full four skills, but Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing were just two of them.

And as Million-Year Soul Ring skills, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection / Sharing were initially more powerful than the Spiritual Detection / Sharing provided by Dai Mubai's External Soul Bone.

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection initially covered a range of around 50 meters, and could extend in a straight line in one direction for roughly 150 meters.

Dai Mubai's Spiritual Detection, on the other hand, covered only five meters in diameter and could extend in a straight line in one direction for 15 meters at most;

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sharing could initially share with roughly enough people to cover a squad, meaning five to seven people.

Dai Mubai's Spiritual Sharing, meanwhile, could currently connect to only one person, or two at most if he gave it everything he had.

Even so, for Soul Bone Skills provided by a thousand-year External Soul Bone to reach this level when compared with Soul Ring skills provided by a million-year Soul Beast was already extremely rare.

Much of the credit went to Dai Mubai's high Soul Power cultivation, strong physique, the high quality and potential of his current Martial Soul, and the Heavenly Dipper Bug's exceptional rarity... among other things.

A combination of factors had strengthened these two Soul Bone Skills.

Meanwhile, in Douluo II, Huo Yuhao had started out with meager Soul Power and a body weakened by long-term malnutrition. His Spirit Eyes Martial Soul had not undergone the Second Awakening of a Body Martial Soul, and its quality and potential were not particularly high...

Thus, even though it was a Million-Year Soul Ring, its effects were greatly diminished once it was attached to Huo Yuhao.

That was why the gap between Dai Mubai's Thousand-Year Soul Bone Skills and Huo Yuhao's Million-Year Soul Ring skills was not as vast as 1,000,000 ÷ 2,000 = 500 times.

However, as their strength improved, their talents were developed and explored, and their Soul Skills were trained...

Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring skills could grow and improve, and Dai Mubai's Soul Bone Skills could likewise grow, improve, and become stronger.

In particular, Dai Mubai could also use the Devouring ability of his Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul Martial Soul to cultivate and increase his Soul Bone's age.

In the future, the age of this Heavenly Dipper Bug eyeball Soul Bone might well grow to the million-year level-

Dai Mubai therefore did not feel disappointed that these two Soul Bone Skills were not strong enough at present.

System, show me my personal information, Dai Mubai said silently after absorbing and fusing with the Heavenly Dipper Bug Soul Ring.

--------

A panel that only Dai Mubai could see appeared before his eyes.

After he refined and absorbed the Heavenly Dipper Bug Soul Ring, the Soul Ring's exact age and the two Soul Skills it granted...

As well as the fused Heavenly Dipper Vertical Eye External Soul Bone and its two accompanying Soul Bone Skills, were all clearly displayed.

In addition, after absorbing the Soul Ring and fusing with the Soul Bone, Dai Mubai's Soul Power Level, originally at level 30, immediately broke through to level 32.

Though the increase was not particularly large, it was not particularly small either-

At the very least, Dai Mubai was quite satisfied.

I've taken another step toward my little goal of becoming a level 50 Soul King, Dai Mubai thought.

Although, upon learning that his god-level Second Martial Soul, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul, possessed the Devouring ability, Dai Mubai had no longer needed to worry about increasing his Soul Power.

Now that absorbing the Soul Ring and Soul Bone had raised his Soul Power by two levels, however, Dai Mubai was still very happy.

"Mubai, kid, what Soul Skill did your thousand-year First Soul Ring give you?"

"Is it a defensive Soul Skill like your White Tiger Protection Barrier from before? Why don't you use it and let me, Old Zhao, test it out for you?"

Having recovered from the shock of Dai Mubai successfully attaching a thousand-year First Soul Ring, Zhao Wuji spoke with an excited expression.

"Haha, sure."

"I really do need your help testing the power of this new Soul Skill I just obtained, Teacher Zhao."

"But instead of standing still and taking your Great Strength Vajra Palm head-on, Teacher Zhao, you'll be taking an attack from me," Dai Mubai said with a hearty laugh.

"What? Did that thousand-year Soul Ring give you an attack Soul Skill instead of a defensive one?" Zhao Wuji looked somewhat surprised when he heard Dai Mubai's words.

A trace of surprise also flashed across Flender's face nearby.

But what happened next would surprise them even more.

"All right, Mubai, kid, come on. Let me, Old Zhao, see the power of your brand-new thousand-year first Soul Skill."

"Great Strength Vajra Bear, possess me! First Soul Skill: Immovable Bright King Body, activate!!"

His interest piqued by Dai Mubai's words, Zhao Wuji grinned, showing a row of white teeth, and tapped his fist against his palm before heading straight to an open space nearby.

The Great Strength Vajra Bear Martial Soul possessed him, and he used his defensive first Soul Skill, Immovable Bright King Body. He then raised a hand and beckoned to Dai Mubai, signaling that he could attack at will.

"Teacher Zhao, Dean Flender, watch closely. This is the Soul Skill my purple thousand-year First Soul Ring gave me."

"Evil Eye White Tiger, possess me! First Soul Skill, White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense, activate!!"

As his Martial Soul possessed him, Dai Mubai instantly grew from 1.6 meters to 1.75 meters tall. His already sturdy build became even more imposing, and his mismatched red and blue eyes grew even more captivating.

As he used his first Soul Skill, White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense,

Dai Mubai's powerful muscles immediately became like smoothly polished granite, their surfaces gleaming with a hard, cold light.

At the same time, the surging Soul Power force around Dai Mubai condensed into a faintly visible, eggshell-shaped energy shield.

Not only that, but as Dai Mubai used White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense, his captivating, mismatched red and blue eyes also became exceptionally deep, calm, and sharp.

This was the all-around defense of White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense, combining physical, energy, and soul defense in one.

After using White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense to put a shield around himself, Dai Mubai did not stop there. He immediately used the other Soul Skill granted by his First Soul Ring.

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge~"

"What?!" Hearing Dai Mubai's voice, Zhao Wuji and Flender were both startled.

Earlier, Dai Mubai had said his first Soul Skill was an attack Soul Skill, yet he had just used a defensive one, leaving Zhao Wuji and Flender somewhat puzzled and confused.

They had never imagined that Dai Mubai would use another Soul Skill.

"Teacher Zhao, here I come." While Zhao Wuji stood stunned, Dai Mubai had been charging up White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge, and now the charge was complete.

"Roar!" A deafening tiger's roar rang out.

The next second, Dai Mubai's sturdy, imposing body hurtled toward Zhao Wuji like a White Tiger tank.
