"It's actually an external Spirit Bone, said to be second only to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone?!"
"And it's an eye-type external Spirit Bone, something I've never even heard of?!"
"This luck... is just too Heaven-Defying, isn't it?"
An external Spirit Bone!
That's a treasure that countless Titled Douluos dream of!
Not only can it evolve as the Spirit Master's strength increases, but more importantly, it doesn't occupy any of the original six Spirit Bone slots!
...After an unknown amount of time, the piercing golden-red light finally began to slowly recede.
The aura on Lin Yuan's body also gradually stabilized and began to soar step by step!
This violent momentum of leveling up didn't stop until it reached the Peak of Rank 36!
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and at that moment, the room seemed to brighten with a flash!
Within his eyes, the Heavy Pupils remained deep, but at the very depths of the pupils, there was an additional golden-red halo.
"Lin Yuan!"
"Are you okay, kid?!"
Dugu Bo rushed over immediately, his green old face filled with nervousness as he looked Lin Yuan up and down: "Your eyes were bleeding just now, you scared this old man to death!"
Dugu Bo pointed at Lin Yuan's eyes, his tone carrying a hint of undisguisable envy and jealousy: "Also, you'd better come clean, was that an external Spirit Bone just now?"
Lin Yuan smiled, reached out to wipe the blood from the corners of his eyes, and nodded: "I've made Senior worry, it's nothing major."
"I'm also a bit surprised. I didn't expect this Golden-Eyed Blood Lion's resentment to be so heavy that it actually condensed into a Spirit Bone in the end."
Then, Dugu Bo's expression became serious, and he lowered his voice: "Also, tell the truth, do you have a second Spirit? Or is it... an eye Spirit?"
As Dugu Bo spoke, even he felt a bit uncertain, because he had never heard of eyes being used as a Spirit.
Seeing that Dugu Bo had already guessed it, Lin Yuan didn't intend to hide it any longer.
Anyway, with Zhao Yun's deterrence and the previous life-saving favor, Dugu Bo was already one of his own.
"Senior truly has a Wisdom Eye."
Lin Yuan admitted frankly: "That's right, this is indeed my second Spirit, the Heavy Pupils."
"I'll have to ask Senior Dugu Bo to keep this secret for me."
Hearing Lin Yuan admit it himself, although Dugu Bo was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but have his mouth twitch.
twin spirits!
Comparing oneself to others is enough to drive one mad with envy!
"Freak..."
"You kid are a complete and utter freak!"
Dugu Bo grumbled, but the admiration and relief in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Fortunately!
Fortunately, his granddaughter had a good eye and made her Move early!
And fortunately, he didn't offend this kid back then, but instead formed a good relationship!
"Don't worry."
Dugu Bo patted his chest: "Your secret will rot in my stomach unless you choose to reveal it yourself; this old man won't breathe a word."
"Quick, tell me, what's the name of this external Spirit Bone, and what skills does it have?"
Dugu Bo was eager and a bit curious.
With a thought from Lin Yuan, a golden-red light flickered slightly in his eyes.
"I call this Spirit Bone the destruction golden pupils."
Lin Yuan explained: "Besides significantly increasing my mental force and making my spiritual sea more stable..."
"...it also granted me an attack skill, Destruction Gaze!"
As he spoke, Lin Yuan looked at a large rock not far away. A red light flashed in his eyes, and two golden-red beams instantly shot out from them!
The hard granite, several meters high, was instantly pierced through the moment it was hit by the beams!
The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and even a terrifying high temperature remained.
"This..."
Dugu Bo's pupils constricted.
"What terrifying penetrating power!"
"This is no longer a simple energy attack; is this... an armor-piercing attribute?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "That's right, this skill inherits the sharp attribute of the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion. It can ignore the vast majority of physical defenses and spirit power shields, dealing direct piercing damage."
"Furthermore, targets hit by Destruction Gaze will also have their mental force severely damaged, causing brief dizziness."
After hearing the introduction, Dugu Bo was already numb.
"By the way."
Dugu Bo remembered something else: "What about your third spirit ring? A thirty-thousand-year spirit ring's skill shouldn't be bad either, right?"
"Is it the pure attack boost you wanted?"
At the mention of the third Spirit Ability, the smile on Lin Yuan's face grew even brighter.
He stood up, and with a sudden thrust, planted the god slaying spear into the ground. That deep black third spirit ring suddenly lit up!
"Of course, this Golden-Eyed Blood Lion did not disappoint me."
"Third Spirit Ability: God-Slaying Army Breaker!"
A violent blood-red light instantly covered the shaft of the god slaying spear. On the shaft, the originally dark-gold patterns seemed to come alive, turning into flowing blood grooves.
A suffocating, tragic Killing Intent, mixed with the sharp aura of the metal element, soared into the sky!
"The effect of this Spirit Ability is very simple."
"Once activated, for a certain period of time, attack power is boosted by two hundred percent, and during the attack process, one is immune to all mental control."
"In addition, from now on, for every rank of spirit power gained, this boost ratio increases by another two percent."
"Since I'm currently at Rank 36, the attack boost from using this Spirit Ability should be two hundred and twelve percent."
"How much?!"
Dugu Bo doubted his ears. For an ordinary attack system Spirit Master, if their third Spirit Ability could boost attack power by a hundred percent, it would already be considered top-tier.
But Lin Yuan's Spirit Ability not only boosted it by two hundred percent but also granted immunity to mental control.
Not only that, but the boost ratio could even increase!
...Afterward, the three of them set off back to the academy. Lin Yuan could be said to have returned fully loaded.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back.
Lin Yuan was in a great mood and finally had time to write in his diary again.
During this month at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, although he was busy with Alchemy and hadn't actively written much in the diary...
...the System had rules about this before; it automatically recorded his Cultivation process and saved up the rewards for him.
Lin Yuan checked the System's reward records.
First was the accumulation of forging experience, which significantly improved his forging level. As long as his spirit power was sufficient, he could start making Two-Word Battle Armor.
Not only that, he also obtained a new Martial Skill: Great Wilderness Star Plucking Hand.
"[Great Wilderness Star Plucking Hand: Close-quarters combat type.]"
"[When practiced to Major Achievement, the palms become as hard as divine iron, capable of clashing head-on with divine Sharp Weapons, and even plucking stars with one's bare hands!]"
"[The Moves are overbearing and fierce, specifically designed to break through Protective Aura, and come with extremely strong grappling and locking effects.]"
Lin Yuan couldn't help but cheer in his heart.
Although the god slaying spear's attack power was unparalleled, it was, after all, a long weapon.
Once someone got close or the god slaying spear was knocked out of his hand, his combat strength would inevitably be compromised.
And this Great Wilderness Star Plucking Hand perfectly made up for his shortcomings in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat!
