Chapter 73 The Second Soul Ring and the External Soul Bone
A few days later, Yu Xiaogang and his father Yu Yuanzhen once again embarked on the path of acquiring spirit rings.
Upon arriving at the edge of the Star Dou Forest again, Yu Xiaogang no longer felt the same trepidation he had the first time.
This soul-hunting operation went exceptionally smoothly.
Just seven days after arriving in the Star Dou Forest, Yu Xiaogang and his father encountered a soul beast that met their requirements.
"A Radiant Heavenly Dragon! And a Radiant Heavenly Dragon from around five thousand years ago! Hahaha, Xiao Gang, you're really lucky!"
Seeing a spirit beast not far away, Yu Yuanzhen patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder and said.
Yu Xiaogang himself was also very happy.
Radiant Heavenly Dragon, a dragon-type soul beast, with the attribute of light.
Besides this, what the Radiant Heavenly Dragons are best known for is their equally formidable spiritual power.
It's rare for a soul beast to fulfill all of Yu Xiaogang's requirements.
Furthermore, the Radiant Heavenly Dragon is extremely powerful among dragon-type soul beasts.
Don't underestimate this Radiant Heavenly Dragon just because it's only five thousand years old; even ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are no match for it.
Unfortunately, this time, the Radiant Heavenly Dragon encountered Yu Yuanzhen, a Title Douluo.
And so, very quickly, the Radiant Heavenly Dragon fell before Yu Xiaogang.
"Roar!"
Looking at Yu Xiaogang approaching him with his sword drawn, the Radiant Heavenly Dragon's eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness.
Because the powerful Radiant Heavenly Dragon could sense the soul power fluctuations emanating from Yu Xiaogang.
This fluctuation is still far, far away from absorbing the spirit ring that appeared after my death.
Therefore, in the Radiant Heavenly Dragon's view, Yu Xiaogang's killing of him was either not to absorb the spirit ring, but rather to kill him to obtain the soul bone, or simply because he had a fondness for killing.
How could I be content to die for such a reason?
Unfortunately, the Radiant Heavenly Dragon's resentment did not evoke any pity in Yu Xiaogang, who decisively ended the Radiant Heavenly Dragon's life.
The next second, the Radiant Heavenly Dragon's spirit ring appeared on its corpse.
"Father, I have absorbed it."
After speaking to Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaogang adjusted his breathing, summoned Little Dragon, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to activate his soul rings.
The process is the same as absorbing the first spirit ring.
This time, although Yu Xiaogang also experienced some pain during the absorption process, it only caused him to groan a few times.
In the realm of consciousness, Yu Xiaogang once again encountered Little Dragon, who had shared his burdens.
Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang also witnessed Little Dragon undergoing another change under the impact of soul power.
The small dragon wings that were originally on its back began to grow wider under the repeated impacts of soul power.
Meanwhile, Little Dragon's body was also growing.
The horns on its forehead began to sharpen, and its tail grew thicker.
The small, pale golden scales on its body began to grow larger as its body expanded.
In summary, Little Dragon is starting to grow taller.
Having understood Little Dragon's situation, Yu Xiaogang finally focused on his own situation.
Outside, Yu Yuanzhen watched Yu Xiaogang's movements. This time, he was very calm, unlike when he absorbed the first spirit ring, when he was covered in blood.
This made Yu Yuanzhen feel much more relaxed.
However, just when Yu Yuanzhen thought this soul hunt would be very easy and was getting a little bored while waiting, suddenly...
"Ah!"
A scream escaped Yu Xiaogang's lips, and he instinctively arched his upper body.
"Xiao Gang!"
Yu Yuanzhen strode up to Yu Xiaogang, wanting to know what had happened.
Just then, the sound of tearing fabric rang out from Yu Xiaogang's hunched back, and two objects that seemed to be made of jade appeared behind him.
"This is?!"
Yu Yuanzhen stared blankly at the thing that had suddenly appeared on Yu Xiaogang's back, his initial worry quickly replaced by overwhelming joy.
As a seasoned Soul Hunter, Yu Yuanzhen had never witnessed such a scene before, but he had heard of it and read related records.
This thing that suddenly appeared from his son was clearly a soul bone.
And it's an external soul bone, second only to a 100,000-year spirit ring and a 100,000-year soul bone in rarity!
Unlike ordinary soul bones, external soul bones possess growth potential and can grow alongside the soul master.
It does not occupy any of the six slots for the soul bone.
The method of obtaining external soul bones is also different from that of ordinary soul bones.
To obtain an external soul bone, it must be acquired simultaneously with the absorption of a soul ring. This ensures the external soul bone is most compatible with the individual.
With such characteristics and these extremely rare acquisition conditions, external soul bones are far rarer than ordinary soul bones.
When Yu Yuanzhen traveled through the Douluo Continent, he met many Soul Masters who possessed soul bones.
However, none of them possessed an external soul bone.
Among the powerful figures who currently roam the continent, none have been known to possess an external soul bone.
"Haha, well done! As expected of my son, not only is he exceptionally intelligent, but he is also incredibly capable."
"This kind of luck is something most people can't match!"
If Yu Yuanzhen weren't still in the Star Dou Forest, he would have burst out laughing.
Even so, he still laughed out loud.
The surprise this external soul bone brought him was simply too great.
Soul bones are so rare; even a Title Douluo like myself can't collect a full set.
But now, when his son obtained his second spirit ring, he acquired an external soul bone second only to a 100,000-year spirit ring and a 100,000-year soul bone.
This luck is absolutely outrageous!
Under Yu Yuanzhen's watchful gaze, the external soul bone on Yu Xiaogang's back rapidly took shape.
They were actually the wings of the Radiant Heavenly Dragon.
Golden dragon wings unfurled behind Yu Xiaogang, seemingly enveloping his entire body.
As the dragon's wings unfurled, the discomfort on Yu Xiaogang's face vanished, and he quickly opened his eyes.
If someone were to observe Yu Xiaogang's eyes up close at this moment, they would notice that his black pupils were beginning to gleam with golden light.
After two hours of absorption, Yu Xiaogang finally completed the absorption of his second spirit ring.
"Hmm~"
After stretching his body on the ground, Yu Xiaogang prepared to stand up.
But just as he was about to stand up, he sensed something was wrong.
"There seems to be something behind me?"
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang turned his head to look at Yu Yuanzhen, who was watching him with a broad smile.
"Holy crap! What is this?!"
Upon seeing the wings on his back, Yu Xiaogang was startled, and almost blurted out a curse, but he managed to hold it back.
After a moment of stunned silence, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze to Yu Yuanzhen.
At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen smiled and approached Yu Xiaogang.
"Hahaha, brat, your luck is something even I, a Title Douluo, am extremely envious of!"
