Qian Renxue Returns, Ah Yin Fuses with the Head Soul Bone!
A little excited, Ye Yang reached out with his Spiritual Power and quickly sensed it without turning around.
Sure enough, it was a Soul Bone!
And it was a Head Soul Bone, more precious than the four limb Soul Bones!
Seeing Ye Yang's surprise, Qian Renxue thought he didn't want it and grew anxious.
She flew over to Ye Yang, holding the Head Soul Bone in both hands, and quickly explained, "I can't use this Soul Bone anymore."
"Please, Senior, you must accept it!"
"Otherwise, Xue'er will be burdened by an obsession in her future cultivation, and it will affect her for the rest of her life!"
Such an earnest request?
And she couldn't use a Head Soul Bone anymore?
Ye Yang was speechless.
He naturally had no reason to refuse a Soul Bone, especially a Head Soul Bone.
He swept his sleeve behind him, brushing it over Qian Renxue's little hands and taking the Head Soul Bone.
"Ahem, all right. To keep you from developing an obsession, I'll accept it for now."
"Don't let it happen again!"
"Goodbye!"
He finished speaking quickly, stepped through the air, and drifted away.
He quickly descended behind the crown of a great tree where Qian Renxue couldn't see him. After bounding through the forest for some distance, he turned back into Blue Silver Grass and continued to lie low.
Holy Dragon Douluo also shook off Da Ming and Er Ming's pursuit, grabbed Qian Renxue, and fled.
Er Ming chased after them, while Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python, who liked to stay home, retreated to the little lake.
The place where the fierce battle had just raged fell silent in an instant.
Ye Yang, who had wrapped the Head Soul Bone in his roots, now had the presence of mind to examine it.
"What a pity. It's not an External Soul Bone."
That was Ye Yang's first thought.
After obtaining three External Soul Bones in succession, his understanding of Soul Bones had become somewhat warped.
He felt that External Soul Bones were as common as cabbages.
But after giving it a little thought, he quickly understood.
"This Soul Bone is a full thirty thousand years old and extremely precious. If she weren't using it, there's no way she'd carry it around with her. Qian Renxue must have fused with it."
"Yet she said she couldn't use it anymore."
"In other words, Qian Renxue used this Soul Bone before, but now she's replaced it with a stronger one!"
"Otherwise, even a level 99 Peak Douluo couldn't remove a Head Soul Bone."
"A stronger Soul Bone..."
A thought struck Ye Yang, and he quickly worked it through.
Qian Renxue was about ten years older than Tang San. She had concealed her identity in the Heaven Dou Empire for a full twenty years, and Tang San exposed her when she was twenty-nine.
In other words, Qian Renxue had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace when she was a little over nine years old!
That was just after her father, Qian Xunji, had been gravely wounded by Tang Hao and devoured by Bibi Dong.
After fusing with a Soul Bone, she had gained a powerful disguise Soul Skill and taken the place of the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe. Even a Titled Douluo couldn't see through her.
"Qian Renxue isn't even ten yet."
"The Soul Bone she fused with is one of the six Soul Bones of the Angel Set!"
"However, over the years, no one has ever succeeded in fusing with them all."
"At this point, Qian Xunji should have fused only with the limb Soul Bones, the easiest ones to absorb."
"The more important Torso Soul Bone can only be fused with upon becoming a god at level one hundred."
"And he actually gave Qian Renxue the Head Soul Bone, the next most important one, to fuse with!"
Ye Yang understood.
Only a superlative Head Soul Bone just one year short of a hundred thousand could have given Qian Renxue such a powerful disguise skill.
"Alas, what a pity that such a genius has to disguise herself... Wait, that's not right!"
Ye Yang abruptly stopped lamenting.
"I've already changed the course of events on Douluo Continent!"
"Qian Xunji didn't die, so perhaps Qian Renxue won't go to the Heaven Dou Empire either!"
"Forget it. I can't be bothered to think about it anymore."
Ye Yang shook his head, composed himself, and left.
He planned to return to the little valley. He had been away for over a month and wanted to go back and see Ah Yin.
"I already have ninety-thousand-year Soul Power, but my Spiritual Power has only just entered the Spirit Sea Realm. My ability to hide is still somewhat lacking."
"Hunting Soul Beasts gains me Spiritual Power too slowly. I'd be better off cultivating with Ah Yin. Not only can I improve my bloodline, I can also increase my Spiritual Power."
After seeing the level 97 Super Douluo and Da Ming and Er Ming today, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with his own strength.
A human Super Soul Master's Spiritual Power might have already broken through five thousand points and reached the Spirit Abyss Realm!
If he faced a Super Soul Master, he would be in danger whether he relied on disguise or combat strength.
Meanwhile, Holy Dragon Douluo, racing through the mixed zone, was also speaking to Qian Renxue with feeling. "Young miss, you saw it today, didn't you?"
"Both of those hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts have the fighting strength to contend with a Super Douluo above level 96!"
"Even a mere seventy-thousand-year-old black tiger can rival a Titled Douluo."
"And that mysterious expert who saved you gave even me a slight sense of danger. He's unfathomable!"
"There's still a long road ahead."
Qian Renxue muttered, "Then why did you blame me for giving him the Soul Bone just now?"
"Isn't it a good thing to befriend an expert like that for just one Soul Bone?"
Hearing this, Holy Dragon Douluo felt as though he'd been stabbed in the chest and nearly coughed up blood. "My young miss!"
"That was a thirty-thousand-year Soul Bone!"
"And it was a Head Soul Bone, second only to a Torso Soul Bone. It was incredibly precious!"
Qian Renxue blinked her big eyes, stared at Holy Dragon Douluo, and twisted the knife. "Oh! I remember now!"
"Grandpa said that when he recruited you, he gave you just a ten-thousand-year Right Arm Soul Bone, and you joined Spirit Hall and became our worship elder."
"Hee-hee, doesn't that make you feel bitter?"
Holy Dragon Douluo's face showed embarrassment and anger, but he had no way to vent it.
"All right, enough. I just broke through, and you just obtained your fourth Soul Ring. We both need a quiet place to go into seclusion and consolidate our gains."
"Let's hurry back."
Qian Renxue's little face immediately fell.
"Ah, we're going back... It wasn't easy for me to get out for once."
Holy Dragon Douluo felt somewhat helpless. "Young miss, I know it's hard for you to stay hidden without much freedom."
"But this time, Grandpa Holy Dragon has already been out here with you for over a month. We've gone past the deadline your grandfather set."
"If we delay any longer, I'll get more than just a scolding from your grandfather!"
Qian Renxue sighed softly. "Sigh, all right."
She turned to look back at the Star Dou Great Forest, recalling the sight of Ye Yang's back as he drifted away.
"I wonder when I'll be able to live as freely as that expert?"
"...And that's how I obtained a thirty-thousand-year Head Soul Bone without lifting a finger!"
"Ah Yin, I can't fuse with ordinary Soul Bones like this one. Only External Soul Bones are my thing, so take it and use it."
In the little valley, Ye Yang told Ah Yin about his experiences over the past few days, especially his hunt for the Man Faced Demon Spider and the Cave Demon Spider.
He also told her about today's great battle.
It took him most of the day.
Finally, he took out a translucent Head Soul Bone and handed it to Ah Yin.
Ah Yin hesitated briefly but accepted it without refusing.
Half a day later, she successfully fused with the Head Soul Bone.
Ye Yang could clearly sense Ah Yin's Spiritual Power surge.
Ah Yin composed herself, looked at Ye Yang with her big eyes, and asked seriously, "You already have ninety-thousand-year Soul Power. What are your plans for the future?"
