Chapter 4: Fourth Soul Ring, Soul Bone

The howling of the wind and snow covered the berserk roars of the three giant beasts.

Just the aura leaked by the three giant beasts scared all other soul beasts within a radius of ten miles to flee in all directions, and the wind and snow seemed to have slowed down their falling speed because of the heavy atmosphere.

The Star Cloud Douluo turned into an afterimage flashing with faint starlight and shuttled quickly in the air. Her martial soul is the Star Cloud Fan, a top-tier tool martial soul between a control system and a power attack system. It possesses an extremely special starlight attribute, which is extremely rare even in the world today, and the Star Cloud Douluo's fame is also related to this.

The Star Cloud Douluo, who has now passed the age of eighty, has a soul power level of 92. It is not high among a group of Titled Douluo, and can even be considered at the bottom. As she gets older, her cultivation limit is almost fixed. Unless the Star Cloud Douluo obtains a great opportunity for the rest of her life, she will almost have no chance to reach the Super Douluo realm in this life.

……

Seeing that the Star Cloud Douluo finally lured the three berserk Titan Snow Demons out of the mixed zone, the Shattering Star Douluo's speed couldn't help but increase a bit.

The cold wind blowing on their faces made Xu Jiujiu tighten her grip on Shu Yan's hand. As a princess, this was also her first time facing a normal soul hunting scene so directly. After all, as the most noble princess of the Star Luo Empire, the soul beasts she needed for each breakthrough were prepared by special people. After completely controlling the other party, she only needed to kill the other party to obtain the soul ring. When had she ever taken such a big risk?

The Shattering Star Douluo looked at the backs of the three giant beasts, his face darkened slightly, and then said: "Princess, young Shu, please stay a little further away later. The defensive ability of these beasts' fur is comparable to gold and iron. Later, I will directly cooperate with Star Cloud to use soul skills to kill the two later Titan Snow Demons in one blow, and the one that has just broken through ten thousand years will also be directly incapacitated and left for young Shu to solve. Staying a little further away will also save you from being injured by the aftermath."

Shu Yan nodded gently. After the Shattering Star Douluo lowered his height a little, he hugged Xu Jiujiu and jumped down, falling directly into the snow that was more than knee-deep.

Xu Jiujiu exhaled a hot breath, tightly holding Shu Yan's hand, and it took a long time before she said: "A-Yan, sometimes I really feel that you are not mature like a youth. Obviously, I am already very excellent myself, but by your side, I still have some thoughts of feeling inferior."

After hearing this, Shu Yan just pinched Xu Jiujiu's face somewhat amusingly, and said softly:

"No need to deny yourself, you are Princess Jiujiu, one of the most noble women in the world. Compared to this, I seem ordinary..."

"Hmm..."

"A pretty boy who eats the princess's soft rice? What do you think?"

Shu Yan said half-jokingly.

Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but burst into laughter. In front of Shu Yan, she could always put down her burden and pressure as a princess and show her cute side.

Boom—

Just as the two were being sweet in the wind and snow, several screams and a loud noise from the distance broke the beauty between the two.

Shu Yan changed his face in a second, then hugged Xu Jiujiu again, and advanced more than a hundred meters in a few jumps. Xu Jiujiu hadn't even come back to her senses when she had already reached the edge of the battlefield. At this time, the Shattering Star Douluo was firmly controlling the ten-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon that had just broken through. Seeing Shu Yan coming, the Shattering Star Douluo nodded, then stepped down, and the Titan Snow Demon fell into a coma, leaving it for Shu Yan to deal with.

Shu Yan patted the back of Xu Jiujiu's hand, then walked straight toward the Titan Snow Demon.

Three purple soul rings, far exceeding the normal soul ring configuration, appeared under his feet. A long halberd condensed from Extreme Ice suddenly appeared in Shu Yan's hand, and then he didn't hesitate at all, directly ending the life of this ten-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon.

Accompanied by a domineering and cold, massive energy being injected into Shu Yan's body, the three of Xu Jiujiu also breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

The three of them were not worried at all about whether Shu Yan could absorb this powerful ten-thousand-year soul ring. Shu Yan had been taking various heavenly treasures since he was a child, and his physical strength was far beyond that of soul masters of the same level. Coupled with the Ice Sky Snow Maiden martial soul he possessed, absorbing the Titan Snow Demon soul ring, which was a life-and-death hurdle in the eyes of ordinary ice-attribute soul masters, couldn't even be considered a test for Shu Yan.

……

While Shu Yan was absorbing the soul ring, the Star Cloud Douluo carefully checked the corpses of the other two Titan Snow Demons that had been directly decapitated. When checking the head of one of the Titan Snow Demons, the Star Cloud Douluo's somewhat old hands trembled slightly. Then, under the control of her soul power, a crystal-clear head soul bone emitting silver-white soul power aura slowly floated out from the pile of minced meat.

"It's actually a head soul bone..."

The Shattering Star Douluo and Xu Jiujiu noticed the anomaly and walked over quickly. There was an undisguised astonishment in both of their eyes.

Among the six soul bones of the human body, the torso soul bone is the most precious and rare. After the torso soul bone, the second most rare and precious is the head soul bone.

Even in the national treasury of the Star Luo Empire, which has a large family and a big business, there are not many head soul bones, and a good head soul bone's enhancement to a soul master almost surpasses that of a good soul ring. From this, one can see how important the head soul bone is to a soul master.

Everyone had already witnessed the strength of the Titan Snow Demon, and the age of this soul bone had also exceeded ten thousand years. Its high value would definitely be a treasure that could cause competition among all forces even if placed on the continent.

"Such luck..."

Xu Jiujiu gave a wry smile, then took the top-grade soul bone, whose value was unknown, from the Star Cloud Douluo's hand.

The Shattering Star Douluo's eyes were a bit complicated. As a Super Douluo who had been famous for a long time, his talent was completely enough to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, but later he had to give up due to various reasons. With his status, he had operated in the Star Luo Empire for so many years, but he had only found two soul bones suitable for himself, and to get these two soul bones, the price he paid was also not small.

Xu Jiujiu's eyes were complicated, and her expression struggled for a while. After a long time, she sighed and said:

"The preciousness of this soul bone is self-evident, but in terms of ownership, A-Yan is the most suitable. Grandma Manyi, Senior Shattering Star, do you have any objections?"

The Star Cloud Douluo and the other looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they nodded gently.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief.

What she was worried about was not that the Star Cloud Douluo and the Shattering Star Douluo had any improper intentions toward this soul bone, but that the Shattering Star Douluo would be dissatisfied with her decisive decision.

The Star Cloud Douluo had watched her grow up since she was a child and was the person Xu Jiujiu trusted most besides Shu Yan and her own imperial brother. Xu Jiujiu naturally wouldn't worry that the other party had any improper thoughts about this soul bone, and compared to her...

Well, Xu Jiujiu didn't mean that the Shattering Star Douluo had a problem. The Shattering Star Douluo's loyalty to the Empire was obvious to all. The problem she was worried about had already been mentioned earlier. Now it seems that she, the princess who has always been intelligent, was overthinking...

As her thoughts turned, Xu Jiujiu suddenly said: "Senior Shattering Star, I have no other meaning, just a bit anxious, please forgive me..."

The Shattering Star Douluo just smiled indifferently, then waved his hand and said: "I can also be considered to have watched young Shu grow up, and I have long regarded him as half a junior of my own. Princess, don't worry. I have been mixing for most of my life, so how could such a small matter be worth taking to heart..."

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu finally smiled, and the look in her eyes when looking at Shu Yan revealed a hint of a smile, as if she was looking forward to Shu Yan waking up early...
