Chapter 212: with translation of chapter title
However, right after that, Gu Xuan took out another soul bone, leaving Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin dumbfounded, because this soul bone was not one of the three reward soul bones.
Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise, 'Little Xuan, what is this soul bone?'
Gu Xuan gave a slight smile, then repeated the story of how he had helped Tang San slay the ten-year spirit beast; this soul bone was obtained in the same manner.
Ning Fengzhi chuckled upon hearing that, then said, 'In that case, this wisdom phantom left arm bone is indeed meant for Ning Rongrong.'
Chenxin also said, 'I knew you brat couldn't possibly forget Ning Rongrong; that little girl has been calling you big brother, big brother since she was young.'
Gu Xuan put the soul bone away and said lightly, 'That's only natural, after all they're all my little girlfriends; naturally I can't favor one over the other.'
Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Ning Fengzhi felt a headache, then realized a problem, for Gu Xuan's statement was correct—up to now, all those girls around him already have soul bones.
Du Gu Yan's wisdom skull, Ning Rongrong's phantom left arm bone, Li Li's external soul bone Eight Spider Lances, Zhu Zhuqing's chasing wind left leg bone.
Wait, what about Ye Lingling? Why doesn't Ye Lingling have a soul bone?
Although Ning Fengzhi thought so, he didn't say it out loud, lest this brat Gu Xuan ask him for a soul bone……
It's not that Ning Fengzhi is unwilling; after all, Ye Lingling's talent is not bad either, but Ning Fengzhi feels jealous.
How old is Gu Xuan? Fifteen, sigh—at fifteen he already has five girlfriends, and he even gives each girl a soul bone?
There's no such good fortune; Ye Lingling's soul bone must be found by Gu Xuan himself, and I also have to secretly tell Ning Rongrong, who will then tell Ye Lingling, so as to put some pressure on Gu Xuan.
But Ning Fengzhi had no idea that Gu Xuan had already found Ye Lingling's soul bone, which now lies in his soul tool, and it is the most impressive soul bone among the five girls.
After all, that is the essence condensed from Tang San's mother's entire being—a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone!
And now Gu Xuan doesn't intend to keep it from Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin either, for after Ye Lingling absorbs the soul bone, what if it gets exposed one day?
So now I'll tell Ning Fengzhi and them, so we can take precautions early.
Then Gu Xuan took out a crystal-clear green right leg bone; Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin felt its aura and power, and were instantly dumbfounded.
"A 100,000-year soul bone?!" Even Chenxin, who is already as strong as a rank ninety-eight, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air!
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Xuan and his group are juniors, Chenxin would have been unable to resist killing to take the bone!
Gu Xuan nodded calmly, speaking in a tone as if the two had never seen the world: 'Uncle, Second Grandpa, this soul bone was accidentally obtained when I helped Lingling get her fifth soul ring; back then I was only thinking about finding a soul ring for her, so I forgot, and only now remembered.'
Hearing this, Chenxin and Ning Fengzhi both looked at the soul bone in Gu Xuan's hand with expressions of utter disbelief.
They were envious—don't look at the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect being a great house with vast wealth, claiming riches rivaling a nation; they now have seven or eight inherited soul bones, yet not a single one is a 100,000-year soul bone, simply because 100,000-year spirit beasts are too rare.
However, Gu Xuan shattered their fantasy: 'Uncle, Second Grandpa, don't say I'm unfeeling; this soul bone isn't suitable for you, but rather seems tailor-made for Lingling, so naturally it goes to the most suitable person.'
Upon hearing that, Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin also felt the tremendous vitality emanating from the soul bone, and they affirmed Gu Xuan's explanation.
But it's hard not to feel sour! Although Gu Xuan is a bit playful, he's still a good guy—five girlfriends, each with a soul bone.
If Gu Xuan absorbed these soul bones himself, he would quickly have a full set of soul bones all over his body.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi suddenly recalled the fifty-thousand-year earth-violent dragon torso bone he had given Gu Xuan when he broke through rank thirty; adding this soul bone, Gu Xuan now has in his hands essentially all the soul bones a soul master would normally possess, since Gu Xuan also has an external soul bone!
It's truly infuriating how people compare themselves; the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's foundation built over many years almost got eclipsed by a fifteen-year-old Gu Xuan?
However, after Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin fell into contemplation, Gu Xuan continued, 'Nevertheless, the origin of this soul bone might be somewhat unusual.'
Ning Fengzhi came to his senses and asked, 'You didn't say it was accidentally obtained, did you?'
Gu Xuan nodded: 'Indeed it was accidentally obtained, but this accident is somewhat hair-raising.'
Chenxin said lightly, 'Go on.'
Seeing Chenxin's domineering aura, Gu Xuan had no worries; Chenxin is already rank ninety-eight, although just recently broken through, it is still rank ninety-eight.
Perhaps Chenxin currently can't defeat the veteran rank ninety-eight Golden Crocodile Douluo, but taking on a scrapped Tang Hao would still be no problem.
"I suspect this soul bone belongs to Tang Hao," Gu Xuan said with the most innocent expression, revealing a shocking secret.
"Tang Hao's?" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in disbelief, 'How can you say that?'
Gu Xuan explained: 'On the way to help Lingling obtain her fifth soul ring, I unintentionally passed through a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, where I unintentionally discovered a cave; inside the cave I unintentionally found a stalk of Blue Silver Grass, and then unintentionally discovered this soul bone above the grass…'
Hearing Gu Xuan's series of 'unintentionally's, Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin were speechless inside, thinking, 'Is this just luck? Why didn't I have such luck when I was young?'
However, from the information revealed in Gu Xuan's words, it is undoubted that this soul bone belongs to Tang Hao; Tang Hao's target is spirit beasts, a fact few know, but Ning Fengzhi is one of those who do.
Although Ning Fengzhi has never personally witnessed it, the fact that Tang Hao could be hunted by the Spirit Hall and still rise to become a Titled Douluo capable of taking on three opponents makes it easy to guess.
Now that he knows this news, Ning Fengzhi frankly feels a bit helpless, after all, it's naturally impossible to return it.
Even if Gu Xuan's relationship with Tang San is 'very good,' it's still impossible to return it, after all this is a 100,000-year soul bone.
After only a moment, the wise Ning Fengzhi said, 'Little Xuan, you didn't leave any traces, did you?'
Upon hearing that, Gu Xuan gave a meaningful smile: 'I did.'
"What?!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in confusion, 'Little Xuan, you're such a smart person—how could you leave such evidence…'
Before Ning Fengzhi could finish, Gu Xuan continued, 'I pointed the spear at the Spirit Hall…'
Ning Fengzhi choked a little, then continued, 'Such evidence is not unacceptable, but you must never mention this matter in the future; you and Tang San can still maintain friendly relations, but you must definitely worm out the remaining hidden weapon manufacturing methods from him, otherwise if it ever gets exposed, we'll be in a deadly feud.'
Hearing that, Gu Xuan gave a slight smile: 'Uncle, you said, is it possible for us to directly send someone to set up Tang Hao? That way he would never find out.'
Hearing that, Ning Fengzhi's heart stirred; it seems this is not impossible.
Our sect now has several Titled Douluo; the Sword Bone Douluo is one rank ninety-eight and another rank ninety-seven—capturing Tang Hao should be a piece of cake, right?
Anyway, since the unified continent will be a target of suppression in the future, nipping him in the bud now seems not impossible…
However, there is one problem: where would we find Tang Hao? The continent is so vast, we can't be certain of a Titled Douluo's whereabouts.
