Chapter 225: Absorbing the Third Soul Bone
Dugu Feng steadied his mind.
After this event, he felt his mindset improve greatly.
Caution and concealment suited his martial spirit best, allowing him to grow faster.
Carefully, he picked up the bluish right arm bone.
"How rich the life energy is, and there's a faint trace of lightning. Blue-green Jade Dragon!
Right, this soul bone must come from the Blue-Green Jade Dragon, a dual attribute of life and lightning. I wonder what skill it holds after absorption?"
This soul beast was smaller than other dragons but had strong vitality—already a powerful dragon-type soul beast.
Without hesitation, Dugu Feng attached the soul bone to his right arm.
A hundred-thousand-year soul bone with life attribute—truly a rare masterpiece.
A buzzing tremor sounded; Dugu Feng felt a shock like lightning striking his arm.
Then, thick life force enveloped his entire right arm, the blue light rendering half his body translucent.
The energy seeped inside through his skin and fused with his bones.
Absorbing another hundred-thousand-year soul bone felt blissfully easy.
Except for the initial shock, the process was smooth.
During the fusion, his soul power shifted to blue, brimming with life energy. Previously, his Jade Phosphor Serpent's soul power was purple. With the infusion of the soul bone, it grew rapidly.
At the same time, he learned the soul bone's skills.
The first was Azure Dragon Bind, an offensive skill that used the soul bone's lightning energy to form a thunderous blue dragon. On striking an enemy, it triggered a dreadful stun and control effect.
Called a "bind" because it had built-in control alongside attack.
A soul skill combining control and offense—very powerful.
Luckily, he had not approached Yu Yuanzhen after casting Domination Venom and fleeing; otherwise, being stunned even briefly by this skill and then struck by Yu Yuanzhen could have been fatal.
Now, this formidable skill belonged to him.
The second skill was Azure Dragon Breath, which unleashed a surge of life energy that enhanced his soul power, defense, and bodily functions by 50% until the energy was depleted.
A very potent buff skill.
Both skills were practical—one offensive, one amplifying—and greatly enhanced Dugu Feng's combat ability.
He relished the comfort of absorbing the soul bone.
The dense energy was merging steadily with his body, rejuvenating his meridians and bones.
A full day passed and the soul bone completely fused.
Dugu Feng had absorbed his third soul bone.
The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, the Blue-Green Jade Dragon's right arm bone, and the Wisdom Head Bone of Spiritual Condensation.
Unconsciously, he possessed half of the six major human soul bones.
At the same time, his soul power rose to level fifty-four—two levels higher than before.
He rose easily, picking up the remaining two soul bones as he left.
Following the underground tunnel, Dugu Feng came to a spacious stone chamber.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Old Nine, with blood-red hair, was cultivating there and immediately stood upon seeing Dugu Feng.
Old Nine's aura was already at the Soul Douluo level.
"The Patriarch has ordered you to meet him immediately after your return. A great battle broke out in the Sunset Forest, and the Patriarch worries for your safety," Old Nine spoke calmly.
News of the battle had spread to all of Heaven Dou City.
"Has the family learned the result of the battle?" Dugu Feng asked.
"The family has received word from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The battle was between the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Tang Hao was severely injured and despite treatment from Sect Master Ning, his strength remains gone—he's effectively a cripple.
Meanwhile, Tang San's fourth soul ring again produced an external soul bone—but it was stolen by an unknown soul master!"
Old Nine recounted the news thoughtfully, watching Dugu Feng.
He was aware that Tang San's third soul ring external bone had been stolen—an event shared through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's information network.
Tang San's last external soul bone theft had been when he ventured with Old Scorpion, of which Old Nine was unaware.
However, Old Nine suspected this was related to the Young Master.
After all, his Crab Claw soul bone had the power to devour.
Also, the continent had no truly hidden evil soul masters—only the Dugu Clan hid most deeply.
Old Nine had been observing all factions as a concealed Soul Douluo.
No one hid deeper than him.
He began to suspect the hidden evil soul master might actually be the Young Master himself.
"Do not make any moves for now. Stay hidden underground.
The Soul Master world will soon become chaotic and dangerous!"
Dugu Feng considered and gave his orders.
With two successive external soul bone thefts, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Clear Sky Sect, and Spirit Hall surely suspected an unknown force stirring trouble.
Someone was watching carefully.
Any rash action would be perilous.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Old Nine was convinced—this had to be the Young Master acting.
His heart stirred greatly.
To steal external bone during a Titled Douluo-level battle—how strong was the Young Master truly?
Ignoring Old Nine's shock, Dugu Feng strode toward the tunnel leading to the clan ancestral hall.
Upon entering the hall, a surprised voice spoke.
"Feng'er, your power has increased again!" Dugu Shuo exclaimed.
After Dugu Feng reached Soul King, he had visited the Yin Yang Well once and met Dugu Feng there.
He saw the Domination Venom firsthand and wept tears of relief, praising the poison lineage's inevitable rise.
At that time, Dugu Feng was level fifty-two.
In just a short time, he had reached fifty-four.
Before his father, Dugu Feng displayed his true strength, unhidden.
"Father, look at this!"
Instead of answering directly, Dugu Feng produced the lead box from his spirit guide tool.
Opening it, a strong energy ripple astonished the entire ancestral hall.
"Soul bones—two more!"
Dugu Shuo was stunned.
His son had brought great surprise.
Yet soon he understood—the increase in Dugu Feng's strength must be related to these soul bones.
Dugu Feng had surely absorbed another soul bone, making three in total.
Had he stolen from Spirit Hall?
Dugu Shuo was lost for words.
Even with so many surprises, his son continued creating miracles.
