The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was a giant tiger entirely pitch-black in color. It possessed multiple elements, commanding a total of six attributes: Evil, Space, Time, Lightning, Strength, and Wind.
Moreover, its Evil attribute was rumored to be directly related to the God of Evil. This was a true jack-of-all-trades Soul Beast, one that possessed absolutely no weaknesses and was entirely made of strengths.
Xiao Lin did not know much beyond that.
He only remembered that back when he read the original story, Tang San had seemingly been turned into a six-year-old child by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Regrettably, Xiao Lin had already forgotten how the Tang San of the original timeline had managed to kill the beast. However, for a six-year-old Tang San to defeat the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he must have relied on hidden weapons.
Since hidden weapons were involved, Xiao Lin could only mentally task Tang San with forging a set of Emperor Armor for him in the future. In the past, he had only joked about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger because he was interested in its bead.
If he ever ran into it, he would certainly hunt it down. But now, he truly wanted to make a move against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger; a murderous intent had been ignited within him.
This matter was directly tied to his own strength and his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Tang San.
"Whew, whew!"
Xiao Lin silently regulated his breathing, forcing himself to calm down.
Now that he was serious, he had to go all out. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's methods were incredibly bizarre, so he needed to have a flawless strategy in place.
Subsequently, Xiao Lin turned his consciousness inward to ask the two Great Dragon Kings in his spiritual space if they could offer any assistance regarding the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Inside the Spiritual Sea.
When the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings heard Xiao Lin's unorthodox method and understood his shocking intellect, they were thoroughly astonished as well. However, the two Great Dragon Kings quickly indicated that they could help.
"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? From what you've said, it might be a pet of the God of Evil. But it is merely a pet, nothing more."
The Ice Dragon King grinned. By the time Xiao Lin was ready to kill the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he would have already acquired several hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
As long as he possessed hundred-thousand-year soul rings of the Ice and Fire attributes, they would be able to use their soul power to aid him.
A mere Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would be taken down with ease.
"Xiao Lin, didn't you mention that you want your next soul ring to be a Lightning-attribute one close to the hundred-thousand-year level? And after that, a hundred-thousand-year Fire ring, followed by a hundred-thousand-year Ice ring?"
"Once you reach the level of a Soul Saint, it can definitely be taken down," the Fire Dragon King stated with certainty.
"That's right! Once I become a Soul Saint and have you two help me condense the Ice and Fire Soul Cores, my strength shouldn't be inferior to an ordinary Titled Douluo."
"Not to mention that you two will be helping me, and I'll also be able to use my Tool Soul Avatar."
Hearing the words of the two Great Dragon Kings, Xiao Lin felt greatly reassured, and his entire demeanor relaxed.
By the time Xiao Lin returned to reality, Tang San was still explaining the new Immortal Herbs to him.
"That one over there is the Black Jade Divine Bamboo. I've taken a look, and it's also an Immortal Herb suited for your Horned Dragon Staff, Brother Lin. However, I can't say for sure what its specific effects are."
"And that one is the Origin Energy Immortal Grass, which is highly beneficial for increasing soul power. There is also the Star Lou Holy Pearl, which feels like a great match for you too, Brother Lin..."
Tang San explained the general uses of several Immortal Herbs to Xiao Lin, though he didn't know the exact details at the moment. He only knew that these Immortal Herbs all seemed to suit Xiao Lin.
Of course, these Immortal Herbs would also be wonderful for Tang San and the others.
"After listening for so long, why does it feel like none of them are suitable for absorption right now?"
As Xiao Lin's voice fell, Tang San also wore a depressed expression.
"You're right, Brother Lin. We can only wait to absorb these in the future."
Hearing Tang San say this, Tang Ni and Xiao Wu both lost interest as well.
However, Tang Ni noticed how knowledgeable Tang San was about Immortal Herbs.
Since she had seen many rare and exotic herbs in the Star Dou Forest, a sudden thought popped into her mind: she wanted to bring the rare flora of the Star Dou Forest to Tang San so he could properly identify if there were any Immortal Herbs among them.
A moment later, Tang San recovered from his dejection.
Now that he had seen these Immortal Herbs and gained some understanding of them, he would only become more interested in them. In the future, he would record them down to leave behind for the Tang Sect.
"Brother Lin, didn't you say you were researching soul bones? What progress have you made?" Tang San asked eagerly.
If it was related to his External Soul Bone, that would be for the best.
Hearing Tang San's question, Xiao Lin let out a chuckle and adopted a profound posture.
"Over these past three days, I have made a new discovery regarding soul bones. That is—the Soul Bone Charging Theory."
"Charging Theory?"
Hearing Xiao Lin's theory, Tang San and the other two blanked for a moment.
None of them could grasp the literal meaning of this concept.
Only Tang San managed to have a sudden realization, catching the subtle smirk on Xiao Lin's face.
"This 'charging'... could it be similar to the arrays used in Soul Tools...?"
"Exactly! It's just as you think, Xiao San."
Xiao Lin snapped his fingers, praising Tang San. Immediately after, he took out two ten-thousand-year soul bones to demonstrate to the trio.
"These two soul bones—one is a Fusion Right Leg Bone, and the other is a Wind Chasing Left Arm Bone."
"Next, I am going to inject my soul power into these two soul bones."
As Xiao Lin continuously poured in his Vajra Imperishable soul power, the two soul bones before them began to emit a faint, shimmering glow.
In the next second, Xiao Lin raised both soul bones high, aiming them toward a giant boulder in the distance. Under everyone's disbelieving stares, both soul bones unleashed a powerful blast of energy, resembling a Qi wave.
This energy blast carried the exact same properties as Xiao Lin's soul power.
When it struck the giant boulder, it pierced right through it without a single shred of effort, leaving a clean, hollowed-out hole behind.
"It's the exact same soul power as yours, Brother Lin. The soul bone didn't alter the characteristics of your soul power at all."
Tang San understood instantly, noticing that the shot-out energy blast hadn't changed the nature of the soul power in the slightest.
"Brother Lin, do you mean to say that these soul bones can store our soul power, allowing us to absorb it back at a critical moment?"
The more Tang San spoke, the more excited he became.
Wasn't this the 'soul power battery' Xiao Lin had mentioned to him before?
"Uh..."
Xiao Lin was momentarily stunned by Tang San's deduction.
Had he actually said that?
Tang San had actually drawn inferences from one instance to another, discovering an entirely different function of soul bones on his own!
Although Xiao Lin could have easily thought of this function and brought it up himself, he had surprisingly been beaten to the punch by Tang San.
"Ahem. Yes, that is indeed something I wanted to say, but my deeper discovery is actually something else."
After a tactical cough, Xiao Lin once again adopted the demeanor of a grandmaster.
"The charging I'm talking about isn't limited to the effect Tang San just mentioned."
"What I mean is, after injecting my soul power into the soul bones, the soul bones themselves underwent no changes—at least not in the short term. The interior remains a singular, cohesive whole. Do you get it?"
This time, even Tang San was lost.
Together with Xiao Wu and Tang Ni, he stared at Xiao Lin with a bewildered expression.
Helpless, Xiao Lin could only explain patiently.
Soul bones were transformed from soul cores, and soul cores were essentially violently spinning, solidified soul power that would also absorb the soul power surrounding the body. Yet, after Xiao Lin injected his soul power, the soul bone did not absorb it to grow stronger.
Xiao Lin's idea was whether they could carve a soul power array onto the exterior of this cohesive soul bone to create a brand-new soul skill. Then, by utilizing the inherent soul bone skill and the new soul skill together, they could fuse them into a completely new ability.
Alternatively, they could carve an amplifying soul skill inside it to strengthen the soul bone's original skill. This was the inspiration born from Xiao Lin's initial wild brainstorming.
The benefit of doing this was that even if a soul bone was only at the ten-thousand-year level, the power of its soul skill would far exceed what a standard ten-thousand-year skill could achieve.
It was just like how combining wind and fire would spread and strengthen the flames, or how combining water and lightning could expand the attack range of the electricity, making it easier to control.
However, Xiao Lin hadn't directly shared his even deeper research with Tang San and the others yet—which was strengthening the soul bone permanently through long-term "absorption."
