Chapter 122: Power of the Soul Bone

Zhou Heng opened his eyes, and a flash of divine light bloomed within them.

This left Dugu Bo, who was guarding Zhou Heng not far away, feeling astonished; his own granddaughter's husband had now already surpassed him.

This time, condensing the Blood Qi Spirit Core had brought Zhou Heng tremendous benefits.

Zhou Heng raised both hands, and streaks of lightning danced upon his palms.

This was the Thunder Power from that original Dragon Pill of the Earth Profound Water Brilliant Dragon.

Back then, the Thunder Power within the Dragon Pill was formed when the Earth Profound Water Brilliant Dragon was killed by a lightning tribulation, with the power of the tribulation settling inside it.

When he condensed his First Soul Core, the Dragon Pill merged with the soul core, and this Thunder Power was suppressed by the Five Elements and remained hidden.

Now, as he condensed the Blood Qi Spirit Core and connected it to the First Soul Core, this surge of Thunder Power naturally flowed into the Blood Qi Spirit Core and merged with it.

Moreover, thunder is inherently an extremely formidable power, and since this was thunder from a lightning tribulation, it could naturally be called Ultimate Thunder.

After sensing the power of this thunder, Zhou Heng put the Thunder Power away and turned to draw out a new force.

This power was pure and refined; it was born after the power radiated by the stars in the universe combined with cosmic energy, which is what is commonly known as Star Power on the Douluo Continent.

Star Power has infinite wonderful uses and can be transformed by Zhou Heng into various powers he has mastered; it can be called a "jack-of-all-trades" existence.

And within Zhou Heng's body, five brand-new Ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones were emitting faint traces of energy.

The Head Spirit Bone was condensed by a mermaid evolved from a Dream Water Fish; it was a Head Spirit Bone of calmness and wisdom.

Its two soul bone skills were:

Still as Still Water, which functions to grant immunity to mental attacks with mental power lower than one's own, as well as all negative mental effects; at the same time, it provides a 150% boost to the water attribute one has mastered.

Spirit Sleep, which has an incredibly powerful effect, can force a target into a deep sleep for ten seconds; within these ten seconds, the opponent cannot perceive surrounding things and cannot use their own power.

As long as the opponent's mental power is not higher than his own, this soul bone skill will absolutely succeed.

In battle, every second counts; a gap of one second is enough to be fatal, let alone ten seconds.

This soul skill can be said to be a powerful hard-control skill, completely making up for Zhou Heng's lack of hard-control skills.

The Left Arm Bone was condensed from a Ten-thousand-year Evergreen Jade Lotus, and its two soul bone skills were: Long Body Like a Forest and Power of the Wood God.

Their effects were also very powerful.

The effect of Long Body Like a Forest is to create clones; it can create three clones equal to one's own strength, but these three clones can only last for one hour, and there is a half-month cooldown period.

The effect of Power of the Wood God is to allow one to control wood-attribute power at will, passively increasing one's own wood-attribute attacks by 150%.

The Right Arm Bone was the power of the Profound Thunder Purple Bamboo, possessing the two soul bone skills of Metal Manipulation and Indestructible Diamond Body.

The effect of Metal Manipulation is to boost one's own metal-attribute power by 150%, while also possessing the power to manipulate metal at will.

Indestructible Diamond Body is just as the name implies; it can make Zhou Heng's body indestructible, and as long as the attack is not far beyond Zhou Heng's strength, it cannot break the Indestructible Diamond Body.

The Left Leg Bone was condensed from the power of the Fire Phosphorus Molten Beast, possessing the two soul bone skills of Blessing of the Fire God and Scorching Flame Strike.

Blessing of the Fire God is an augmentation-type soul bone skill that can increase all of Zhou Heng's fire-attribute abilities by 150%.

Scorching Flame Strike is an attack-type soul bone skill; it gathers fire elements to form several attacks, possessing the temperature of Extreme Fire and a powerful corrosive ability.

The Torso Bone was condensed from the Earth-Splitting Gold Ant, possessing the two soul bone skills of Living Being of the Earth and Gravity Control.

The effect of Living Being of the Earth is to strengthen earth-attribute power, with the strengthening effect also being 150%, and it is also a passive ability.

Gravity Control can adjust the gravity around oneself within a radius of fifty meters, with the gravity limit ranging from reducing gravity by two times to increasing it by ten times.

As Zhou Heng's strength improves, his control over gravity will continue to grow, and sooner or later, he will be able to do as he saw in the comics of his previous life: directly summon a meteorite to target his enemies.

Zhou Heng felt the abilities of the five new soul bones, then looked at Dugu Bo standing to the side and said, "Old man, my harvest this time is huge. How much time has passed while I was condensing the soul core?"

Dugu Bo looked at Zhou Heng, who had finally woken up, and said with a smile, "It has already been two days. What did you gain this time?"

Dugu Bo's tone still carried a trace of curiosity.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "This time when I condensed the soul core, all the Spirit Beasts within my Battle Instrument Martial Soul reached ten thousand years.

Moreover, I have also gathered a full set of soul bones, and furthermore, the soul bones obtained this time are all Ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones."

Dugu Bo did not dare to spar with Zhou Heng this time; previously, Zhou Heng and Dugu Bo had sparred several times, and as the number of spars increased, Zhou Heng became increasingly familiar with Dugu Bo's combat rhythm.

At the very beginning, Dugu Bo could still fight Zhou Heng to a draw, but once Zhou Heng became familiar with Dugu Bo's abilities, Dugu Bo could no longer defeat Zhou Heng.

In the end, Dugu Bo was completely suppressed by Zhou Heng and could no longer fight him.

Dugu Bo looked at Zhou Heng, remembered something, and said, "Xiao Heng, in a few days, Yan Yan is going to participate in the selection for the Heaven Dou Team. Do you want to go take a look?"

Zhou Heng was a bit puzzled, "Yan Yan still needs a selection? Yan Yan's cultivation is already at level 46 soul power, right? There shouldn't be any Spirit Master in the same grade stronger than Yan Yan, right? Does Yan Yan still need to participate in a selection?"

Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "I might have misspoken; it's not participating in a selection, but selecting teammates suitable for Yan Yan."

Zhou Heng thought about it; he hadn't seen Dugu Yan for a long time, so he decided to go take a look this time, and immediately agreed to Dugu Bo's suggestion.

The next day, Zhou Heng and Dugu Bo left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and returned to Heaven Dou City.

After entering the city, Dugu Bo went to his own mansion, leaving time for Zhou Heng and Dugu Yan to meet.

Although he had only been at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy for a few days before changing maps to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with Zhou Heng's current mental power, he still remembered the map of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy clearly.

After showing his student ID to the guards watching the academy at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Heng walked toward the mountain.

According to Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan was currently living in the small courtyard he had lived in before.

Zhou Heng decided to go report his safety to Dugu Yan first, and then take a few strolls around the academy to change his mood before going to travel the continent.

At this time, it was the academy's class time, and most people were studying in the academy.

Those who didn't like to study had long since run off to Heaven Dou City to have fun.

So along the way, except for some faculty members, Zhou Heng didn't see anyone. He returned to his small courtyard very smoothly.

The small courtyard that had been violently broken into by Dugu Bo had long been repaired as before, and there were no signs that it had ever been damaged.

Zhou Heng took out the key and opened the gate of the small courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he discovered that the first rooms on both the left and right sides showed signs of having been lived in.
