Chapter 75: Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, Wind-Swirling Dragon Body
When absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring, the most important thing is facing the soul shock.
Not long after entering the absorption state, Wu Qi's consciousness arrived in a spiritual world, where the phantom of the Quetzalcoatlus also appeared.
However, as a herbivorous Soul Beast, the Quetzalcoatlus seemed to lack aggression, merely fleeing blindly within the spiritual world.
At this, Wu Qi finally understood why the theoretical circles of Spirit Masters always said that the spirit rings of herbivorous Soul Beasts were very easy to absorb.
The Quetzalcoatlus would not attack at all, and since it was in Wu Qi's spiritual world, the former's body was constantly dissolving and dissipating while it fled.
It could be said that even if Wu Qi did nothing, this spirit ring could still be successfully absorbed.
A non-aggressive Soul Beast would certainly not provide an attack-type soul skill; it would most likely be an Amplification Soul Skill.
……
Dugu Bo kept a constant watch on Wu Qi's state, and seeing that the other's aura was steady, he was momentarily baffled.
Since when was absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring so simple? Not to mention that the other was only a quasi-Soul Ancestor.
Of course, his lack of knowledge in Spirit Master theory meant he was destined not to understand the reason behind it.
Wu Qi was in no danger, so he was happy to be at ease, his gaze unconsciously shifting to the carcass of the Quetzalcoatlus.
Although the probability of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast dropping a soul bone was very low, it should still be checked to avoid any oversights.
He took out a short blade and sliced open the locations where a Soul Beast might possess a soul bone one by one.
Before long, in Dugu Bo's perception, a faint fluctuation of soul power radiated from the right leg of the Quetzalcoatlus.
The sharp blade sliced through flesh and blood, and a white soul bone suddenly emerged.
Dugu Bo's breathing became rapid.
As a Title Douluo powerhouse, he had certainly seen soul bones before.
But for Wu Qi to have a soul bone appear on his very first hunt of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, this luck was just too good!
Dugu Bo believed that Wu Qi might carry some kind of destiny, helping him improve his strength in an invisible way.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.
As the spirit ring completely merged with his martial soul, Wu Qi officially ended the absorption state.
Dugu Bo offered his congratulations immediately, "Little guy, you have truly broken new ground. A ten-thousand-year fourth ring, heh, I reckon many people in the future will view you as a role model, or even imitate your methods."
That Wu Qi could absorb a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring at the fourth spirit ring position was by no means accidental, nor was it a matter of luck.
It was because he had made full preparations beforehand, coupled with his own extraordinary willpower.
For those fellows on the continent who wanted to defy the heavens and change their fate by relying on luck, once they imitated him, their ending was already sealed.
Wu Qi said modestly, "Old man, didn't you also break new ground? I ask you, which Title Douluo can advance from level ninety-one to level ninety-three in a single day?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was in an excellent mood.
He immediately took the Quetzalcoatlus soul bone from behind him and tossed it casually to the other.
"This is a soul bone!" Wu Qi raised an eyebrow.
Dugu Bo explained indifferently, "This soul bone comes from the same Soul Beast as your fourth spirit ring; it will be of great help to you after absorption."
A ten-thousand-year soul bone was already an extremely precious treasure, but Wu Qi felt that the age of this soul bone was still too low; if he absorbed it now, it would not be easy to remove the soul bone in the future.
Thinking of this, he pushed the soul bone back, "Old man, you take it and absorb it; if your strength improves, my safety will be better guaranteed."
If he kept it, the soul bone would only gather dust in his Soul Guidance Device. It would be better used to strengthen Dugu Bo's power and enhance his current combat effectiveness.
Dugu Bo did not take it; although he did not say it explicitly, Wu Qi could see that the other already possessed a soul bone in that position.
Suddenly, a sound came from behind, and a group of three people jumped out from the bushes, blocking the path in front of the two.
"I say, if you grandfather and grandson don't want it, you might as well hand the soul bone over to us brothers as payment for our lives."
Through the disturbance of the airflow, Wu Qi knew there were people nearby.
Originally, he thought that since Dugu Bo had been active in the Sunset Forest for a long time, many people should recognize him, thereby avoiding the outbreak of conflict.
He didn't expect to run into a group of greenhorns!
Dugu Bo said coldly, "From out of town?"
Among the three, the leader, Han Bo, licked the firewood blade in his hand, "Old man, what does it matter to you where we're from! Hand over the soul bone obediently, or you'll be sleeping here forever."
Behind him, Han Zhong and Han Shu revealed mocking smiles.
Dugu Bo couldn't be bothered to deal with them and said to Wu Qi, "Three intermediate Soul Ancestors, little guy, do you have confidence?"
Wu Qi grinned, "Just in time to try out my newly acquired soul skill."
Seeing that the two did not submit obediently, the gazes of Han Bo and the others turned sharp, and they simultaneously summoned their martial souls; four spirit rings—white, yellow, yellow, and purple—shimmered beneath their feet.
Wu Qi shook his head slightly; the total age of the three people's spirit rings combined was probably not as high as his fourth spirit ring.
If they didn't understand the gap in strength and dared to come here to rob him, then they could obediently serve as his whetstones!
The Qingluan Spirit appeared, and Wu Qi's figure leaped up.
As the sun set, the forest became dim, and the spirit ring beneath his feet emitted a dazzling light.
"Big brother, how does he have a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring!"
Han Zhong rubbed his eyes, confirming he hadn't seen wrong.
Han Bo's mouth twitched.
A Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring was the mark of a Soul King powerhouse; they understood they had kicked an iron plate on this trip.
Han Shu noticed the problem, "That's not right, big brother, he only has four spirit rings; that ten-thousand-year spirit ring is his fourth spirit ring!"
A ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, what kind of joke was this?
When the three brothers were studying at the academy, although they hadn't listened carefully, from common sense, the spirit ring configuration on Wu Qi was definitely "fake"!
"Third Soul Skill, Axe of Mountain Splitting."
The three brothers' martial souls were axes.
Regardless of whether Wu Qi's spirit ring was real or fake, how could one Soul Ancestor be a match for three Soul Ancestors!
The giant axes hacked down toward Wu Qi in unison; the attacks were heavy and powerful, with no small amount of might.
Dugu Bo, standing to the side, gave a scornful laugh.
Those three idiots have no idea how much of a boost a Soul Ring's age provides to a Spirit Master's body!
A Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring is like providing ten thousand points of attributes to the body, and the combined age of all three men's Soul Rings doesn't even equal one of Wu Qi's Soul Rings.
A gap of merely a few levels of soul power is simply not enough to make up for the absolute disparity in physical constitution.
Wu Qi did not hold back, and a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring shone beneath his feet.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Wind Whirl Dragon Body."
This soul skill itself has no attack power, but it can increase all of Wu Qi's attributes by one hundred percent, especially the boost to his movement technique, which is terrifying.
If he could combine it with the Spirit Luan Sky-Empty Art, he was confident that no one below the level of a Soul Emperor could find a flaw in him.
With the Crane Cloud Wings activated simultaneously, Wu Qi's speed became unimaginably fast.
In the eyes of the three mid-level Soul Ancestors, his figure was completely impossible to track.
Seeing their Third Soul Skill miss, Han Shu was shocked, "What kind of Soul Ancestor is this? How can his speed be this fast? Big Brother, should we retreat?"
Han Bo noticed the corpse of the Wind God Pterosaur; that was a ten thousand year soul bone. If they snatched it, the three brothers would have no worries about food or drink for the next ten years.
High risk, high reward!
"Damn it, let's fight him to the death!"
