Dugu Bo's sudden demise left Liu Erlong, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong utterly bewildered. At that moment, they were all stunned.
They didn't know, or perhaps couldn't believe, that Xu Yunhan could instantly kill Dugu Bo—a Titled Douluo!
"He's dead?"
"A Titled Douluo!"
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were incredibly shocked.
Liu Erlong walked over to check, then said, "He's dead."
She then looked at Xu Yunhan and said, "I didn't expect your mental attack to be so strong. Even ordinary Titled Douluo probably couldn't withstand it."
Although she knew Xu Yunhan's mental power wasn't weak, she hadn't expected it to be this powerful.
Xu Yunhan said, "Although it was a sneak attack when he was unprepared, I didn't expect a full-power mental attack to yield such a result."
Through this attempt, Xu Yunhan roughly understood the extent of his current mental attack's limit.
Any ordinary Titled Douluo with normal mental power would likely find it difficult to withstand Xu Yunhan's full-power mental attack, which was undeniably terrifying.
"Try not to let anyone else know in the future," Liu Erlong reminded him. "After all, Dugu Bo was just an ordinary Titled Douluo. If you encounter a powerful Titled Douluo, it's hard to say. And if others find out your mental attack is so strong, it might attract trouble."
Xu Yunhan nodded, he understood. Although his mental attack was strong, it wasn't invincible, and he needed to continue lying low.
"Brother Yun Han, you're too amazing."
Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled. Xu Yunhan was her man, and also her idol.
Xiao Wu said excitedly, "Yun Han, you really outdid yourself, keeping it from us all this time."
Xu Yunhan smiled.
Liu Erlong looked at Dugu Bo's body, removed his Hundred Treasures Wishful Pouch storage soul tool, then tossed out a ball of fire.
Destroying the body and evidence!
As Dugu Bo's body was nearly incinerated, a soul bone suddenly appeared.
"There's actually a soul bone."
Everyone was surprised.
Many Titled Douluo didn't even have soul bones, yet Dugu Bo did. It was a bit unexpected and a pleasant surprise.
"It's a head soul bone, and it's a ten-thousand-year soul bone."
Liu Erlong took the soul bone in her hand and carefully examined its attributes and effects. "It seems to be a soul bone from some type of snake soul beast. It should contain a significant amount of poison attribute power."
She paused, then looked at Xu Yunhan and the three girls. "It's not very suitable for us. Let's keep it for now."
Among the five of them, no one used poison. They could probably absorb it if they really had to, as it wasn't a soul ring, so they didn't need to consider if it conflicted with their martial spirit's characteristics.
They just needed to use the soul bone's skill.
Perhaps they would encounter a better head soul bone in the future, so they would keep this one for now.
Moreover, this was Dugu Bo's soul bone. If someone absorbed it and used its soul bone skill, it might be recognized by others, leading to a lot of trouble.
"Mm. Let's keep it for now. We'll see who it suits or who needs it later."
Xu Yunhan agreed.
"You take it for safekeeping."
Liu Erlong handed the soul bone to Xu Yunhan, and he didn't refuse. Holding it was just for safekeeping; he wasn't interested in this kind of head soul bone.
Ning Rongrong said, "Some people might know Dugu Bo's soul bone skills. It's best if we don't use it for now. Even if we absorb it, we shouldn't expose the soul bone skill in front of others. Dugu Bo's relationship with Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Empire is unusual. Also, don't let anyone know we killed Dugu Bo. All traces here must be cleaned up."
Xiao Wu said, "This Dugu Bo harbored killing intent and wanted to steal our soul bones. His death is his own doing."
"Cleaning up the traces is necessary." Xu Yunhan and Liu Erlong worked together to clean everything thoroughly.
After they finished, they all stood guard around Zhu Zhuqing, who was still absorbing her soul ring.
After some time, Zhu Zhuqing finished absorbing her soul ring, and her soul power level reached Level 52.
"Zhuqing has finished absorbing her soul ring. Let's return to Shrek Academy first."
Liu Erlong said, "Choose a direction where no one is walking, try not to be discovered, and Zhuqing can absorb the soul bone after we return to the academy."
The group cautiously left the Sunset Forest.
They breathed a sigh of relief once they returned to Shrek Academy.
Their encounter with Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was indeed dangerous, but fortunately, Xu Yunhan's powerful mental attack allowed them to escape unscathed.
Their gains were also good, with the biggest being the two soul bones.
The soul bone dropped by the hunted soul beast was a ten-thousand-year right arm soul bone, containing rich dark attribute power.
After Zhu Zhuqing absorbed her fifth soul ring, her own dark attribute power increased by more than ten times. After absorbing this soul bone, her dark attribute power was enhanced by several more times.
"Zhuqing, you feel like a cold-blooded assassin in the darkness now!"
Ning Rongrong felt a sense of awe from Zhu Zhuqing's powerful dark attribute power.
"The Shadow soul skill, combined with the 'Burst Kill' soul bone skill, isn't that just like a killer in the dark?" Xiao Wu teased.
Zhu Zhuqing's fifth soul skill was "Shadow," which could create black mist, allowing her to hide within it, even Liu Erlong couldn't see through it. Or she could hide in dark places, making her difficult to find.
It was a very powerful stealth soul skill, convenient for surprise attacks.
And the right arm soul bone skill was "Burst Kill." At the moment of attack, dark attribute power, attack power, and speed all increased twofold, reaching three times their original.
Combined with Shadow, it was unexpected and even more effective.
This was the unexpected effect of simultaneously absorbing a soul beast's soul ring and soul bone. If different Soul Masters absorbed the soul ring and soul bone, they wouldn't achieve such an effect.
"Fortunately, I really like dark attribute power."
Zhu Zhuqing felt very good now. Only now did she realize how wonderful dark attribute power was.
Although she had become more cold and alluring due to the surge in dark attribute power, and her temperament had changed considerably, she liked it herself, and Xu Yunhan also found it very interesting.
"With the 'Shadow' soul skill, Zhuqing also has a very good means of self-preservation," Xu Yunhan said. "I think Zhuqing's current appearance is better and suits her more. And no matter what Zhuqing becomes, I, and you all, will like her as always."
Ning Rongrong hugged Zhu Zhuqing's arm. "That goes without saying! No matter what happens, we'll be good sisters for life."
Xiao Wu walked over and held their hands. "We'll never be separated."
Liu Erlong smiled. "Yes, we will never be separated."
Xu Yunhan said, "No one can separate us."
The Soul Master Grand Competition was about to begin. Xu Yunhan was thinking that after the competition, he could take them to Sea God Island to try.
He wondered when Tang San went to Sea God Island, and Xu Yunhan was a little worried that someone else had gotten there first.
He didn't know that in the original novel, Tang San and the others only went to Sea God Island because of Yu Xiaogang.
Now that Yu Xiaogang was long dead and Tang San was cultivating with Tang Hao, it was uncertain if he would still go to Sea God Island.
Over the next month or so.
Xu Yunhan, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu often cultivated together with Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Tai Long, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and Jiang Zhu, a total of ten people, to build team cohesion in preparation for the upcoming Soul Master Grand Competition.
