223. Chapter 223: Soul Bone Skill: Hypnosis?

Sunlight City, outskirts.

After Bai Zhou confirmed that the Evil Emperor had not pursued him, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

This place is over a hundred kilometers away from the Evil Spirit Forest; it seems far, but with the Evil Emperor's ability, he could arrive in an instant.

Fortunately, Bai Zhou ran fast.

Plus, the Evil Emperor must have just been awakened from seclusion and could not act immediately; otherwise... Bai Zhou would have been forced to use his trump cards to escape.

"Saved another one."

Bai Zhou secretly rejoiced; life-saving trump cards are things that should be avoided if possible, and ideally, never used in one's lifetime.

After confirming he was safe, Bai Zhou began to count the spoils of this battle.

Of course, the quantity of spoils was not large, but the quality was guaranteed: one hundred-thousand-year head spirit bone and one hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

Bai Zhou did not feel much anticipation for the hundred-thousand-year soul ring; it was his seventh soul ring's Martial Soul True Body, which greatly increased the power of other soul skills, nothing too special.

So Bai Zhou planned to refine the Evil Eye Tyrant's hundred-thousand-year head spirit bone first!

Soul bones are rare.

Among them, the head spirit bone and the torso bone are the most precious.

Furthermore, what Bai Zhou obtained was a hundred-thousand-year head bone, and an extremely rare spirit attribute one at that.

It can be called a priceless treasure! He hit the jackpot!

Bai Zhou took the head bone out of his storage soul tool and immediately began to fuse and absorb it.

"Hum—"

A mysterious force guided the head bone, slowly fusing it into Bai Zhou's body.

This was Bai Zhou's second time fusing a soul bone, so he was quite familiar with the process.

Absorbing a soul ring requires powerful spiritual power, while absorbing a soul bone requires a strong physique; otherwise, one could easily explode and die.

Bai Zhou remembered that in the original work, Xiao Xiao tried to absorb a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul bone and was almost blown apart...

A hundred-thousand-year soul bone is good, but if one's physical fitness is not up to standard, it is also very easy to encounter danger.

However, for Bai Zhou's current physique, let alone a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, even a million-year soul bone would not be very difficult for him to absorb.

One hour later.

Bai Zhou successfully finished absorbing the soul bone.

Although the soul bone was an external object, it had completely fused with Bai Zhou, becoming a part of his body.

Bai Zhou speculated.

Soul Masters in this world are born with defects.

And through the soul bones of soul beasts, these defects can be gradually compensated for; if one collects a full set of soul bones, the body can become completely perfect, providing a huge bonus to both cultivation and the use of soul skills.

Setting aside the skills inherent to the soul bone, after absorbing it, Bai Zhou could clearly feel his physique strengthening, and the circulation of soul power within his body became even smoother.

It was like comparing an old mobile phone from his previous life to a new one; the smoothness was very obvious.

In the original work, this soul bone was obtained by Huo Yuhao, but it was directly devoured by the soul bone transformed from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

After all, the head spirit bone transformed from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could be said to be the top head spirit bone in this world, bar none; even the hundred-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant's soul bone was far inferior to it.

Immediately after, Bai Zhou felt the skills this soul bone brought him.

He discovered that this soul bone came with 3 skills. The first skill was a passive ability that increased his base spiritual power by 200%.

It sounded impressive, but it only increased base spiritual power, and the boost was not as good as the system rewards from his ten-draws, so it was better than nothing.

The second and third skills could actually be counted as one, because it was a domain skill.

Within the domain, it could greatly reduce the target's spiritual power without the target noticing.

Besides that, when the target's spiritual power was weakened to a certain extent, it could cause the target to enter an illusion and experience various hallucinations.

The domain the Evil Eye Tyrant used on Bai Zhou had this ability, but Bai Zhou's spiritual power was simply too much stronger than the Evil Eye Tyrant's, so he directly immunized himself against this skill and was not affected at all.

Not only that, when the target's spiritual power was weakened to a certain extent, Bai Zhou could freely control this illusion, which is what is known as... hypnosis! "This ability is a bit perverted..."

Bai Zhou took a slight breath, and many strange images instantly appeared in his mind.

With Bai Zhou's current ability, if he were to use this skill, a single thought from him could cause everyone in a small town to fall into an illusion...

Which meant, instantly hypnotizing everyone in a small town, and then doing whatever he wanted...

"Ahem~ This skill is too perverted, must use it with caution, lest I be mistaken for an Evil Soul Master..." Bai Zhou hurriedly calmed his inner thoughts, lest he go astray...

"I'll find someone to test it when I have time; it's more important to advance to Soul Saint first." Bai Zhou took a deep breath and whispered to himself.

All in all, this head spirit bone still brought him quite a few surprises; the ability was very good, but it didn't provide much of a boost to combat.

The effect of the soul bone was still very useful against enemies below the Titled Douluo level, but for a Titled Douluo, it was still very difficult to fully exert the effect of 'hypnosis'.

After all, this skill of Bai Zhou's had a high delay and required the opponent to be continuously affected by the domain; a Titled Douluo couldn't be a fool, and the moment they sensed something was wrong, they would find a way to break it, and if they couldn't, they would run.

After all, this Evil Eye Tyrant was good at spiritual attacks, and its physical body was weak.

It's still happier to kill the opponent in one punch.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhou directly took out the Soul Absorbing Ball and released the hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

"Hum—"

As soon as the hundred-thousand-year soul ring appeared, a powerful pressure instantly spread out, which was very terrifying.

After all, the soul ring contained the lingering resentment of the soul beast before its death, which could also be called an unconscious remnant soul.

Therefore, absorbing a soul ring of ten thousand years or more requires one's spiritual power to meet the standard; otherwise, it is very easy to be impacted by the spiritual power formed by this resentment and become mentally disabled.

For a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, the power within is even greater, and only a level 90 quasi-Titled Douluo can barely absorb it.

Of course, those with stronger talent can absorb it earlier, but it is very dangerous.

Zhang Lexuan forcibly absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring when she was level 80, almost died, and spent more than half a year recuperating before recovering.

However, Bai Zhou's spiritual power and physique were far superior to ordinary people, so absorbing a small hundred-thousand-year soul ring was naturally not a problem.

Bai Zhou took a deep breath, simply adjusted his state, and then reached out to touch the hundred-thousand-year soul ring in front of him, beginning to absorb...

"Boom—"

The moment Bai Zhou came into contact with this hundred-thousand-year soul ring, waves of powerful evil thoughts instantly surged into his spirit sea.

"Damn human, return my life!"

"Human! You dare to kill me, my father will not let you go!"

"I curse you..."

Completely different from absorbing an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul ring, the Evil Eye Tyrant's remnant soul within the soul ring seemed not to have completely dissipated, but had turned into countless resentments, constantly interfering with and invading Bai Zhou's spirit sea, affecting his absorption of the soul ring.
