Diamond Tiger Claw, Diamond Healing and Regeneration

The External Soul Bone the Diamond Tiger provided Dai Mubai was a left palm bone called the "Diamond Tiger Claw."

Perhaps it was because the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul had taken part in absorbing and refining the Diamond Tiger's Soul Ring this time,

and because his First Martial Soul, the Evil Eye White Tiger, had also devoured and absorbed power from the Diamond Tiger's soul.

As a result, just like the Heavenly Dipper Vertical Eye External Soul Bone dropped by the Heavenly Dipper Bug before it, this Diamond Tiger Claw provided Dai Mubai with two Soul Bone Skills.

The two Soul Bone Skills provided by the Diamond Tiger Claw External Soul Bone were Diamond Tiger Claw, which bore the exact same name as the bone itself, and Diamond Healing and Regeneration.

Their names alone made their nature clear.

Diamond Tiger Claw was a powerful, razor-sharp offensive Soul Skill that could be used for both close and ranged combat.

In close combat, it acted on his left hand, transforming it into a tiger's paw with exceptionally sharp claws, allowing him to deliver savage, cutting attacks in close exchanges with the enemy.

For ranged combat, it condensed Soul Power into a huge, ferocious tiger claw, which he could control remotely to attack.

Which of the two methods dealt more damage depended on the Soul Master's Soul Power Level and physical strength.

But whether used at close range or from afar, Diamond Tiger Claw was astonishingly powerful and came with four properties: penetration, tearing, armor-breaking, and magic-breaking.

With the Diamond Tiger Claw Soul Bone Skill,

he could be said to have become the nemesis and nightmare of magic tanks and defensive Soul Masters from this day forward.

Perhaps it was because the Diamond Tiger had a powerful body and abundant vitality, with the ability to quickly heal and recover from injuries on its own.

As a result, in addition to the powerful offensive Soul Bone Skill Diamond Tiger Claw, the Diamond Tiger Claw External Soul Bone had also produced the healing and recovery Soul Bone Skill Diamond Healing and Regeneration.

However, the Diamond Tiger's self-healing and recovery ability came from its powerful body, unlike Plant-type Soul Beasts or Plant-type Martial Souls with powerful vitality, such as the Blue Silver Emperor and Nine Heart Begonia.

Thus, Diamond Healing and Regeneration could not match the Blue Silver Emperor's self-healing ability or the Nine Heart Begonia's healing ability.

Judged purely as a recovery and healing Soul Skill,

Diamond Healing and Regeneration was not particularly strong. Moreover, it only worked on Dai Mubai and could not heal anyone else.

That made this healing Soul Bone Skill a chicken rib, trash among recovery and healing Soul Skills. After all, did a healing Soul Skill that couldn't heal teammates even deserve to be called one?

But-

For an External Soul Bone whose abilities leaned toward offense, being able to provide Dai Mubai with a self-healing Soul Bone Skill was actually extremely rare.

Besides, as a Battle Soul Master, Dai Mubai would normally have needed a support Soul Master teammate to heal him after he was injured.

Now, however, he had a healing Soul Skill of his own.

Although he couldn't use it to heal anyone else and could only heal himself,

it could still greatly enhance the combat strength, sustained fighting ability, and battlefield survivability of an assault-type Battle Soul Master like Dai Mubai.

"Good, very good."

"Whether it's the White Tiger Vajra Body Soul Skill produced by the Ten Thousand Year Diamond Tiger Soul Ring or the Diamond Tiger Claw and Diamond Healing and Regeneration produced by the Diamond Tiger Claw External Soul Bone, they're all extremely practical and powerful skills."

"With these three Soul Skills, my strength and combat power will grow and improve enormously." Dai Mubai was delighted and satisfied.

Meanwhile, Flender and Zhao Wuji, who had been standing guard over Dai Mubai, were equally ecstatic and excited.

"He did it! That kid Mubai actually withstood the Soul Shock from the Soul Beast contained in the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring! He really did add a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring in his Third Soul Ring slot!"

"Hahaha... purple, purple, black! With a first, second, and third Soul Ring configuration like that, when he releases his Martial Soul and shows his Soul Rings in a Soul Fight, won't he scare his opponent to death? Hahaha..."

The black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring that had surrounded Dai Mubai had finally merged into his body after three days.

Knowing this meant Dai Mubai had successfully absorbed and refined the Soul Ring, Zhao Wuji's face was full of excitement.

After all, this was a black Ten Thousand Year Third Soul Ring. Under normal circumstances, a Soul Master had to reach the level 50 Soul King realm before they could withstand and attach a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Yet Dai Mubai's Third Soul Ring had already reached the ten-thousand-year level.

News of this would surely shake the entire Soul Master World.

It was even more incredible than having purple, thousand-year First and Second Soul Rings.

Beside him, Flender's face was equally filled with excitement and ecstasy.

He had named the academy he founded Shrek because he wanted to nurture genius, prodigy, and monster-class Soul Masters who would shake and astound the entire Soul Master World.

He had always looked forward to that happening.

But now that it had actually come true, Flender felt as though he were dreaming. It all seemed unreal.

In fact, after Dai Mubai entered Shrek Academy, they had not given him particularly strict instruction. The vast majority of the credit for the miracle he had created belonged to him.

The only credit Shrek Academy and its teachers could claim

was accompanying him into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts this time.

And with Dai Mubai's talent, there would have been plenty of teachers at any academy willing and able to do the same for him.

So, alongside his excitement at the miracle Dai Mubai had created, Flender also felt somewhat ashamed.

And it wasn't just shame. Looking at the black, ten-thousand-year Soul Ring that had merged into Dai Mubai's body, Flender's expression also turned somewhat grave.

"I've always wanted to teach and nurture some monsters, but that kid Mubai is a little too monstrous. Purple, thousand-year First and Second Soul Rings and a black, ten-thousand-year Third Soul Ring... this really is giving me a headache!!"

Flender pressed a hand to his forehead, looking troubled and grave.

"What are you saying, you old ghost Flender? That kid Mubai has monstrous talent. Shouldn't you be happy? What are you getting a headache over?"

"Don't tell me you're feeling the pressure and don't think you have the confidence to teach such a talented student properly."

Zhao Wuji glanced sideways at Flender and raised an eyebrow, teasing him.

"What are you saying, you old bastard? I'm a mighty level 78 Seven-Ring Soul Sage. You think I can't teach a three-ring Soul Elder?" Flender shot Zhao Wuji an exasperated glare.

"Then what are you getting a headache over?" Zhao Wuji scratched his head and asked in exasperation.

"Tsk... Zhao Wuji, have you been living such a comfortable retirement at Shrek Academy that you've forgotten what the Soul Master World is like?"

"These days, it's hard for a poor family to produce an illustrious child, and it's difficult for a commoner to become a genius Soul Master whose name is known far and wide. It's not that there are no geniuses among commoners, but that the princes and nobles of the various principalities, kingdoms, and empires,"

"as well as the Seven Great Sects and Spirit Hall, oppress them, making it hard for Soul Masters of common birth to truly rise above the rest."

"Whenever a promising talent appears among commoners, they must either accept recruitment by one of the major powers and become its hound, or face exclusion and suppression."

"If it were only exclusion and suppression, that would be one thing. The fear is that if these powers can't have them, they'll want to destroy them and try every possible way to crush these talents in the cradle."
