Chapter 73: Soul Bone

Zhou Heng dragged this Earth Dragon toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Along the way, he not only had to be wary of whether any Spirit Beasts or Spirit Masters would attack him.

He also had to deal with the tracks left by the Earth Dragon, which caused Zhou Heng to spend even more time.

Fortunately, he encountered no problems along the way, and after completely removing the tracks caused by dragging the Earth Dragon.

It took Zhou Heng a full hour to return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

To protect the Earth Dragon's corpse from being eroded by the poisonous gas, Zhou Heng covered the corpse and his own body with Extreme Ice, forming a thin barrier of ice crystals, and walked into the Poison Array.

A few minutes later, the poisonous gas slowly filled the passage Zhou Heng had formed, and under the cover of the gas, there were no traces left.

At this moment, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were preparing to cook; upon seeing the Earth Dragon's corpse, the two walked over with faces full of joy.

Dugu Bo placed his hand on the Earth Dragon's corpse, feeling the cold air from the thin ice covering the corpse conducting into his palm.

In just a few breaths' time, Dugu Bo felt uncomfortable and subconsciously pulled his palm back.

"The temperature of this ice element is actually this low? How was this done?"

Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask; this kind of temperature could definitely render his toxins ineffective.

If this kind of ability could be obtained by others, a poison-attribute Spirit Master like himself would be at a great disadvantage.

Since it concerned his own status, Dugu Bo had to know the reason.

Zhou Heng said: "This is Extreme Ice, literally meaning, it is the extreme ice element."

Along with Extreme Ice, there are attributes of the same level such as Extreme Fire, Ultimate Life, and so on.

However, wanting to reach the extreme element level is very, very difficult; it requires not only Immortal Herbs but also a certain amount of talent and opportunity."

Zhou Heng's words allowed Dugu Bo to set aside the worries in his heart.

"If you are truly uneasy, why not have a sparring match with me after eating to see how the effect of Extreme Power is."

What Zhou Heng said piqued Dugu Bo's interest.

Previously, when Zhou Heng condensed his Soul Core, it had already given Dugu Bo ideas; now that Zhou Heng had proposed it first, how could he not agree?

"Good, after we finish eating, we shall spar, and I will also test what is so miraculous about Extreme Power."

After Dugu Bo made his decision, he dragged the Earth Dragon's corpse away to immediately dismantle it and prepare the roasted meat.

Dugu Yan watched her grandfather leave, then looked at Zhou Heng standing to the side; after thinking for a moment, she did not follow, but instead came to Zhou Heng's side.

"Brother Heng, for the sparring match later, are you confident?" Dugu Yan brought up the upcoming spar, fearing that her fiancé would suffer a loss.

After all, no matter what, her grandfather was a Title Douluo; even if Zhou Heng had condensed that so-called Soul Ring, he might not necessarily be her grandfather's match.

Zhou Heng raised his hand, circulating his soul power toward his palm; a chill gathered on his hand, and right before Dugu Yan's eyes, a rose condensed from ice crystals was created by Zhou Heng.

Dugu Yan immediately took a liking to this water-blue ice crystal rose; she reached out and picked up the rose, feeling only a cool sensation in her hand, not at all as freezing as the thin ice on the Earth Dragon's corpse.

This was actually a trick Zhou Heng had performed; when using Extreme Ice to condense this rose, he had added some water elements to neutralize the low temperature of the Extreme Ice a little.

Dugu Yan could not put down the ice crystal rose in her hand, playing with it incessantly.

This ice crystal rose could not last long, only about seven days.

After all, it was not made entirely of Extreme Ice, and his own strength was not considered too strong yet; he had not reached the point where he could change the climate of a place, so naturally, the things he created could not exist permanently.

Just as the two were flirting, Dugu Bo noticed that Dugu Yan had not followed, but even if he had noticed, Dugu Bo did not intend to call her over; now that these two little ones had feelings for each other, it was the perfect time to cultivate their relationship.

Thus, Dugu Bo continued to carve up the Earth Dragon's corpse.

"Eh~, what is this..."

Just as Dugu Bo was carving up the corpse, the small knife in his hand suddenly hit something and stopped at the Earth Dragon's chest.

Dugu Bo, filled with doubt, used a bit more force to dissect the corpse, and finally, at the chest of the carcass, discovered a bone fragment emitting an earthy-yellow light; on the bone, there were actually specks of golden patterns mixed in.

Although not many, it could still be seen that these golden patterns were quite extraordinary.

"A soul bone, and a Torso Bone at that! I've really struck it rich!" Dugu Bo looked at the soul bone in his hand and, ignoring the corpse, ran straight toward Zhou Heng.

"Little Heng, there's a soul bone here, come look!" Before Dugu Bo had even arrived, his voice had already carried over, startling Dugu Yan, who was holding Zhou Heng's arm, into standing up.

A few breaths later, Dugu Bo arrived before the two, and both their gazes were attracted by the soul bone in Dugu Bo's hand.

"Look, this Earth Dragon was actually able to drop a soul bone.

However, why would an Earth Dragon's soul bone have these golden patterns?"

Zhou Heng's gaze was also drawn by Dugu Bo's words, and he saw the golden patterns on the soul bone in Dugu Bo's hand, "Could it be a soul bone dropped by another Spirit Beast that the Earth Dragon had eaten?"

However, after Zhou Heng observed it carefully for a while.

Zhou Heng confirmed that this soul bone was indeed dropped by that Earth Dragon with less than twenty thousand years of cultivation.

It was just that, as for the golden patterns on the soul bone, Zhou Heng's eyes flashed with a pale golden light, and the soul bone in Dugu Bo's hand was seen through by Zhou Heng at a glance.

Within the soul bone, besides the dense Earth Element, there were also traces of Blood Qi power.

"This is... Golden Dragon Bloodline? So that's how it is."

After Zhou Heng confirmed the reason, he explained to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan: "This Earth Dragon possessed a thin Golden Dragon Bloodline, which had already shown slight signs of awakening.

After I killed it, the power of the Golden Dragon Bloodline naturally gathered onto this soul bone."

"Oh? Golden Dragon Bloodline? Then wouldn't the quality of this soul bone be even better? Little Heng, you should absorb this soul bone." Dugu Bo felt the energy of the soul bone in his hand and handed it to Zhou Heng, telling him to absorb it to improve his cultivation.

"Old man, let's forget it; the age of this soul bone is not very high, and the Spirit Beast that produced it is not particularly good either, so there isn't much benefit for me after absorbing it.

It would be better for you or Yan Yan to absorb this soul bone."

Zhou Heng truly did not think much of this soul bone; although its quality was slightly better than an average soul bone, it was not that much better.

If he absorbed it, it might even drag him down, so it was better to forget it.
