Chapter 149: Dividing the Soul Bones
When the six Soul Bones were laid out neatly before them, the various dreamlike lights intertwined, illuminating the entire room.
Such a scene, even for the well-informed Dugu Bo and Elder Ye, caused them to swallow hard.
There were six of them; each person here could have one, and there would still be one left over.
The lowest-ranked Soul Bone was already fifty thousand years old.
The best ones, the Right Arm Bone and the Left Leg Bone, were nearly ninety thousand years old—they were the Legacy Soul Bones of the Clear Sky Sect.
Dugu Bo only had two Soul Bones on his entire body: a Medusa Skull and a Nether Heart-Eating Left Leg Bone sent by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Elder Ye didn't even have one.
It wasn't that the Ye family lacked Soul Bones, but none were compatible with him, and their age wasn't high enough.
At their level, every Soul Bone must be carefully selected.
The age is secondary; the most important thing is compatibility with the Martial Soul. It is better to leave the slot empty than to settle.
After all, not everyone has the ability of limb regeneration.
Just like the Nether Heart-Eating Left Leg Bone; although it was only thirty thousand years old, in Dugu Bo's hands, it exerted power no less than a seventy-thousand-year Soul Bone.
The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is a power-type Martial Soul, so its Soul Bones also lean towards general attributes like power, speed, and defense.
The biggest advantage of such general Soul Bones is that anyone can use them.
As for the specific abilities of the Soul Bones, Lin Yang simply split off a Clone.
He let the Clone absorb the Soul Bones first to determine their abilities before distributing them.
When Dugu Bo saw that Lin Yang's Clone could actually absorb Soul Bones, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Was this still a Soul skills?
Soon, the abilities of all six Soul Bones were stated by Lin Yang.
Seeing the burning gaze of Dugu Bo and Elder Ye, Lin Yang smiled slightly and said, "Old Man Ye, I haven't congratulated you on officially stepping into the rank of Titled Douluo yet. Why don't... you choose first?"
It was Tang Hao's misfortune; the fundamental reason Dugu Bo and Elder Ye were in Soto City was that Elder Ye had made a Breakthrough to level ninety.
Only a few people knew about this, and Lin Yang was one of them.
They had come this time to obtain the ninth Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The original plan was for Elder Poison and the other to go get the ninth Soul Ring first, then meet up with Lin Yang's group of three to help Dugu Yan obtain her fifth Soul Ring.
Unexpectedly, this incident intervened in the middle.
When he anticipated that Tang Hao might make a move, Lin Yang had already sent Ah Da to notify Dugu Bo.
Letting Dugu Yan leave a step earlier was not just for her to act as support, but also to prevent Tang Hao from doing something desperate and taking hostages.
After all, he and the Little Rabbit had extremely strong survival abilities; even if they couldn't defeat Tang Hao, retreating unscathed wasn't a problem.
So, from the beginning, he intended to drag things out until Dugu Bo and Elder Ye arrived, then surround and kill him.
But he didn't expect Tang Hao to be so impatient, using Ring Explosion consecutively.
This allowed Lin Yang to glimpse an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
And he firmly grasped this opportunity, ensuring that Tang Hao would never be able to open his mouth again in this lifetime.
"This..."
A flash of hesitation crossed Elder Ye's eyes; he felt he hadn't done anything, and to just take a Soul Bone like this was a bit too...
"Old Man Ye, opportunities to pick Soul Bones so casually are rare. Don't be so wishy-washy," Dugu Bo interjected from the side.
"Well... fine!"
After a moment of contemplation, Elder Ye nodded decisively.
He knew very well that once he took this Soul Bone, he would be completely bound to Lin Yang and Dugu Bo.
If they were to face the Clear Sky Sect in the future, he wouldn't be able to stay out of it.
But... so what?
Give up this Soul Bone that was within reach?
What a joke.
Just as the Old Poison said, such an opportunity to pick Soul Bones so casually might only happen once in a lifetime.
Moreover, he was very optimistic about Lin Yang's future.
A Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and a jade bone potion had sent him to the Titled Douluo rank.
No one knew how many more miracles he could create in the future.
Added to his relationship with Lingling, he was willing to bet his future on this Lin kid.
So... which Soul Bone should he choose?
He didn't even look at the two Soul Bones that were nearly ninety thousand years old; the remaining four seemed quite suitable for him.
It was really a difficult choice!
After much hesitation, Elder Ye chose a sixty-thousand-year Left Arm Bone.
Although the age wasn't high, the Soul Bone could amplify the effect of Martial Soul Abilities, which made him covet it.
"Elder Poison, it's your turn!"
Dugu Bo waved his hand: "I'll pass. I've already taken a Soul Bone from you; this time, let Yan Yan take it."
Dugu Yan also shook her head repeatedly; she felt she wasn't qualified to take a Soul Bone.
Xiao Wu could play a huge role when Lin Yang faced Tang Hao, while she only ran errands; she really had no face to take one.
Lin Yang was a bit dumbfounded; he didn't expect a day would come where he couldn't even give away Soul Bones.
After thinking about it, he didn't bother with nonsense and directly handed the head Soul Bone to Xiao Wu.
The head Soul Bone was seventy thousand years old, and the attached Soul skills, "Soul Suppression," could grant immunity to eighty percent of Spiritual-type attacks.
For Xiao Wu, this was the most suitable Soul Bone.
Now she had the Paragon Golden Body for physical defense and a head Soul Bone for Spiritual defense.
Mom doesn't have to worry about me getting hurt anymore!
Subsequently, he stuffed the fifty-thousand-year Right Leg Bone into Dugu Yan's arms.
Although this Soul Bone had a lower age, its Soul skills could not only increase movement speed but also create illusions, which would be of great benefit to Dugu Yan.
"Lin Yang..."
Dugu Yan looked at the Soul Bone in her arms and was speechless for a moment.
The favor from the last Soul Bone he gave hadn't been repaid yet, and now he gave another one. How was she supposed to repay him?
What to do?
It seems I've been kept by him?
And the debt is unpaid, and we can't separate, so why not... just have a few more cubs for him?
Just as Dugu Yan was considering the possibility of this method, Lin Yang had already collected the torso bone, leaving only the Right Arm Bone and the Left Leg Bone.
These were also the two most valuable pieces among these Soul Bones.
Lin Yang already had five External Soul Bones on him, and all of them were over ten thousand years old, which was enough.
He didn't believe that more Martial Soul Abilities meant being stronger.
Didn't Tang Hao, who was fully equipped with Soul Bones, still die under his blade?
When encountering an enemy, just slash with one blade; why bother with so many fancy tricks?
Moreover, these Soul Bones were not initial Soul Bones; they only had Martial Soul Abilities and no energy.
If they were initial Soul Bones, he would have absorbed them one by one regardless.
Keeping these two Soul Bones was also to fill his Soul Bone slots, and the Martial Soul Abilities were quite compatible with him.
If there were more suitable Soul Bones later, he could just swap them out; he didn't lack the effort.
As for the torso bone, it would be left for the Skeleton Clone to use to increase its combat power.
After the Soul Bones were distributed, with Dugu Bo acting as Protector, the others refined the Soul Bones on the spot.
Thus, the loot dropped by Tang Hao had been completely divided up.
After absorbing the Soul Bones, Lin Yang left Xiao Wu in the room to recuperate, and Old Man Ye also stayed behind.
Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan to the Star Dou Great Forest again to find her fifth Soul Ring, and Lin Yang followed along.
After all, there was still an External Soul Bone there; he couldn't just let it go.
It was just unclear whether they could still find that Man Faced Demon Spider without Tang San's influence.
That would depend on their luck.
