Chapter 135 External Soul Bone
Elder Xuan revealed himself, looking at Wu Xuan lying on a tree branch. He took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand and said admiringly, "Not bad! Young man, you took down a three-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with just a few punches and kicks."
"Elder Xuan!" Huo Yuhao quickly bowed.
Elder Xuan nodded, then looked at Wu Xuan, who had sat up.
Wu Xuan yawned, jumped down from the branch, and said, "Elder Xuan! The Hurricane Falcon's activity range is in the northern part of the mixed zone, right? When are we going to go deeper?"
Elder Xuan threw down the chicken bone in his hand and wiped his hands, saying, "I originally wanted you to train in the outer zone for a while, but now it seems unnecessary. You can set off after Xiao Xiao finishes absorbing her soul ring!"
"Thank you, Elder Xuan! But don't forget, Elder Xuan, I'm confident I can absorb any soul ring under 100,000 years old for my fifth ring," Wu Xuan reminded him telepathically.
"I know! I know! But is the Ultimate Wind really that monstrous? I've never heard of an Ultimate Martial Soul being able to decompose the soul power of a soul ring and store it within the body." Elder Xuan looked at Wu Xuan suspiciously.
"Oh dear! Only the Ultimate Wind can decompose the soul power of a soul ring, Elder Xuan! I am the first person in the Soul Master world to possess the Ultimate Wind, my words are definitely correct!" Wu Xuan casually made up a story. "
Hmm! What you said does make sense. Then it's your way. However, with the speed of a soul beast like the Hurricane Falcon, it's not easy to catch. Since you've troubled this old man so much, shouldn't you, little fellow, reward this old man?" Elder Xuan's gaze involuntarily drifted to the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Wu Xuan's lips twitched upon hearing this. The meat of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was a highly nutritious food, and he had originally intended to collect it and eat it slowly! However, since Elder Xuan had spoken, Wu Xuan wouldn't be so stingy.
Wu Xuan took out a Soft Bone Rabbit that he had slaughtered a couple of days ago from his soul tool and handed it to Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao! Lunch is yours."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded. He took the Soft Bone Rabbit and began the process of skinning, removing tendons, and marinating it.
Wu Xuan waved his hand, and dry firewood for starting a fire was swept over in a whirlwind.
Elder Xuan wasn't idle either; he began processing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's corpse. If Wu Xuan hadn't helped, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong wouldn't have even been able to break the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's pelt, so Elder Xuan naturally took on this heavy responsibility.
As Elder Xuan's soul power transformed into blades, a barely concealed excitement shone through his somewhat disheveled face. His palm, sharp as a knife, severed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's remaining right forelimb, dissecting it in a few swift movements to reveal a strange bone.
This bone was dark gold, radiating a rich fluctuation of soul power, clearly a soul bone. However, this soul bone was unlike any traditional soul bone. To be precise, it was a palm bone.
The bone, resembling a hand, wasn't large, but five narrow, sharp blades appeared at its tip, like a miniature version of the Terrorclaw. A dark gold aura flowed across the blades like ripples of water, giving it the feel of a divine weapon.
Elder Xuan's face was filled with shock and envy. "Wu Xuan! Your luck is truly exceptional! As a rare and powerful soul beast, it's not surprising that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would produce a soul bone, but the appearance of its most precious right palm bone is something I never expected."
Wang Dong, standing nearby, leaned in and asked with some surprise, "Elder Xuan! Could this be the legendary Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear palm bone?"
Elder Xuan fiddled with the palm bone in his hand and nodded, "That's right! The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's most powerful attack lies in its pair of claws. This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is still young and cannot yet unleash the full power of its claws. When I was young, I once saw a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a cultivation of 100,000 years."
"With a single swipe of its claw, a hundred-meter-long blade pierces the sky! I have no doubt that even a real dragon would be torn apart by it. There is a classic text in the Sea God Pavilion's library, a research note on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear by an academy's predecessors. It records the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's situation in detail."
"Elder Xuan! When I fought that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear just now, I clearly felt that its right arm was stronger than its left. Was there a significant difference in the external metacarpal bones?" Wu Xuan asked curiously, as if he had thought of something.
Elder Xuan smiled and said, "You've hit the nail on the head! The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's two claws look about the same, but in reality, the right claw is stronger. It's your luck that this soul bone dropped. Although external soul bones are precious, they can only unleash their power when absorbed by a soul master."
Elder Xuan looked at Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, who was absorbing her soul ring, and finally looked at Wu Xuan. "You dealt with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear all by yourself, so you naturally have the right to decide how to distribute the soul bone." After saying that, Elder Xuan handed the soul bone to Wu Xuan.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's eyes almost popped out. With the academy's rewards, the two of them only had two soul bones each now. It would be a lie to say they weren't envious when they saw the external soul bone.
Wu Xuan took the palm bone, weighed it in his hand, and looked at Wang Dong and the other man with a smile, "Stop staring! Your eyes are practically popping out of their sockets. Forget about the soul bone. If you feel it's a pity, you can have more Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear meat for lunch."
"Hmph! Who's staring? I'm just curious," Wang Dong turned his head and snorted coldly.
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything, taking the bear meat from Elder Xuan and getting busy.
Wu Xuan stared at the soul bone for a long time, then said, "Give it to Xiao Xiao! With this growing external soul bone, she'll be a true all-rounder in offense and defense. Besides, she just fused with the soul ring of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and if she fuses with this palm bone, she should be able to unleash the soul bone's maximum power."
Elder Xuan looked at Wu Xuan in astonishment, then burst into laughter: "Not bad! Young man, you have a lot of leadership qualities. I'm appreciating you more and more." With such a broad mind, no wonder Elder Mu values you so much. Among the Shrek Seven Devils, as long as his growth goes smoothly, he will definitely be the absolute core in the future!
Wu Xuan smiled, ignoring Elder Xuan, and after cutting out the bear meat for lunch, he put away the entire body of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
"You brat, you're really easily flattered! I just praised you a couple of times and you've already shown your true colors." Elder Xuan looked at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that Wu Xuan had put away and said regretfully.
Wu Xuan turned his head away, ignoring Elder Xuan. Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear meat was a rare delicacy, and Wu Xuan wouldn't just share it like that.
It must be said, Huo Yuhao was a natural-born chef; even ordinary Soft Bone Rabbit could be transformed into a rare delicacy in his hands.
After a hearty feast, Wu Xuan and Elder Xuan were finally full, but Huo Yuhao was exhausted, his hands trembling from grilling the meat.
"Wow, it smells so good! What's that smell?" Xiao Xiao opened her eyes and immediately saw the campfire in front of her.
"Yuhao! Don't slack off! Another little glutton, about as big as me, has arrived. It's time to test your abilities," Wu Xuan ordered, lying back and drinking wine poured from Elder Xuan's gourd.
Huo Yuhao's vision blurred upon hearing this, feeling somewhat like crying.
He had no choice but to continue working; he still needed Wu Xuan's help to find his third soul ring, so naturally he had to obey.
Since becoming close with Wu Xuan and Qian Gu Ming, Xiao Xiao seemed to have unlocked a talent for eating as well. Even Qian Guming was ashamed of his appetite.
"I'm full, Yuhao, your cooking is really good." Xiao Xiao let out a satisfied sigh, wiping the grease from her mouth with her sleeve, her face full of satisfaction.
Huo Yuhao, supporting his slightly trembling right hand, forced a smile. Next time, he'd better make soup; with these people around, even making a barbecue would exhaust him.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao had already heard Elder Xuan talk about the Dark Gold Terror Claw external soul bone. Now, upon hearing about absorbing this soul bone, she couldn't help but look at Wu Xuan with excitement.
"I love you so much, class monitor! Can I repay you with my body?" Xiao Xiao's big eyes were watery.
"Sure! We'll talk about it when you're older." Wu Xuan ruffled Xiao Xiao's hair and said irritably.
"Ah~!" Hearing Wu Xuan's reply, Xiao Xiao's face flushed red.
"Now you dare to tease me? I've given the soul bone to Elder Xuan. When you reach level forty, you can ask Elder Xuan for it!"
"Ah! Level forty!" Xiao Xiao was immediately on the verge of tears.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan smiled and comforted her, "Little girl, Wu Xuan's arrangement is very well-founded. The palm bone is one of the highest quality soul bones of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Your current soul power level might not be able to withstand it. I also suggest you break through to the fourth-ring Soul Master level before absorbing it."
"Mmm!" Xiao Xiao nodded obediently, appearing exceptionally compliant.
