Chapter 11: Gaining an Opportunity, External Soul Bone Wind Thunder Wings
Hearing Yun Yuan describe the effect of his first soul skill, Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction and repeatedly praised:
"Not bad, not bad."
The effect of this soul skill exceeded his expectations. It possessed both the speed of wind and the explosive power of thunder. Its might was already no weaker than those strong attack-type soul skills.
Coupled with attribute amplification, the increase in spear speed and his own movement speed could greatly enhance Yun Yuan's strength.
Absorbing a six-hundred-year soul ring beyond his level truly brought remarkable gains—this soul skill combined both strong attack and amplification effects, which was extremely impressive.
And at this moment,
Bibi Dong suddenly came to Qian Xunji's side and tugged at his sleeve.
"Teacher, I think I saw the dragon's wings glowing. What's going on?"
While Qian Xunji had been talking with Yun Yuan, she had been idly looking around. To her surprise, she discovered that the dead Thunder Wing Flying Dragon was emitting light, instantly arousing her curiosity.
After hearing Bibi Dong's words, a glint flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes. He then walked over to the corpse of the Thunder Wing Flying Dragon.
With a flick of his hand, a sharp dagger appeared. His gaze fell on the dragon's wings.
He then began cutting open the flesh of the wings and finally revealed a purple-blue soul bone.
"Hm? This soul bone is… an external soul bone?!"
Qian Xunji had initially thought it was just an ordinary six-hundred-year soul bone, but he hadn't expected it to be a six-hundred-year external soul bone.
The rarity of an external soul bone is second only to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. In some aspects, it is even comparable to one.
Because it has growth potential, it can grow alongside the soul master, and if nurtured properly, it could even evolve into a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
However, cultivating it requires a tremendous amount of resources, and it also places high demands on the soul master's cultivation progress.
"An external soul bone?!"
Hearing Qian Xunji's exclamation, Yun Yuan turned his gaze toward the external soul bone on the Thunder Wing Flying Dragon, a trace of longing appearing in his eyes.
An external soul bone is an extremely precious treasure. In his view, even a hundred-thousand-year soul bone could not compare to it.
Yun Yuan believed he could nurture it into something even stronger than a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
But soon, the longing in his eyes faded. The ownership of this soul bone still depended on how his teacher decided to distribute it.
However, what happened next exceeded Yun Yuan's expectations.
The moment Qian Xunji obtained the Thunder Wing Flying Dragon soul bone, his eyes were filled with excitement. With a wave of his hand, he directly handed it to Yun Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan, this soul bone suits you perfectly. Hurry and absorb it."
Facing this external soul bone, Qian Xunji showed no hesitation and gave it to his extraordinarily talented disciple.
With Yun Yuan's talent, he would surely be able to fully display the brilliance of this external soul bone in the future.
Not only that, but Yun Yuan was also the successor Qian Xunji had already chosen in his heart. More importantly, the absorption of an external soul bone requires the soul master's strength not to be too high; otherwise, its value would be greatly diminished.
Hearing this, Yun Yuan did not refuse. He directly accepted the external soul bone and gratefully thanked Qian Xunji:
"Teacher, thank you."
"I won't disappoint you. In the future, I will definitely lead our Spirit Hall to even greater heights."
Confidence almost overflowed from Yun Yuan's eyes. After absorbing his first soul ring and having his talent doubled,
Yun Yuan believed that his future achievements would not be limited to the realm of soul masters. He was confident he could even step into the realm of the gods.
"You are my disciple. If I don't treat you well, then who should I treat well?"
Qian Xunji gently patted Yun Yuan's head and spoke with a doting expression.
Next, Yun Yuan sat cross-legged, pressed the external soul bone against his back, and began circulating his soul power to refine it.
As time passed, the external soul bone was gradually absorbed by him, and a pair of wings slowly unfolded behind his back.
After a long while, Yun Yuan opened his eyes and carefully sensed his soul power rank.
"Hmm, rank fourteen. Not bad."
After absorbing the external soul bone, Yun Yuan's soul power increased by one rank, rising from rank thirteen to rank fourteen. He only needed six more ranks to obtain another soul ring.
At this moment, although Yun Yuan had absorbed the external soul bone, he could not yet control it well. The pair of wings on his back flapped from time to time, causing his body to sway uncontrollably, nearly lifting him into the air.
Seeing Yun Yuan in this awkward state, Bibi Dong couldn't help but laugh.
"Junior brother, what are you doing?"
Before Yun Yuan, who was swaying unsteadily, could explain, Qian Xunji spoke first:
"Dong'er, your junior brother hasn't fully mastered the pair of wings behind him yet, so his body is out of control."
"Watch as your teacher steps in. Once he fully fuses with the external soul bone on his back, this won't happen anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Xunji took action to restrain Yun Yuan, preventing him from being carried into the sky by the wings.
Then, Qian Xunji released the pressure of his soul power and slowly pressed it toward Yun Yuan.
Only under immense pressure could Yun Yuan perfectly fuse with the external soul bone. Once that was achieved, no one would be able to take it from him.
External Soul Bones are different from ordinary soul bones. Ordinary soul bones, whether ten-thousand-year or hundred-thousand-year, could still be seized even after being absorbed by a soul master.
But external soul bones are different. Once perfectly fused with a soul master, they can no longer be taken away.
Feeling the terrifying soul power pressure from Qian Xunji, Yun Yuan gritted his teeth and persevered.
As the pressure continued to increase, Yun Yuan's martial soul, the Atlas Spear, was forced out. Yet it still didn't stop, as Qian Xunji continued to intensify the pressure.
Finally, under the immense pressure, Yun Yuan completely fused the external soul bone on his back.
"It's finally done."
After fully mastering the external soul bone, Yun Yuan controlled the wings behind him as if they were his own arms. He flew straight into the sky, enjoying the sensation of soaring through the sky.
After playing around for quite a while, Yun Yuan finally landed in front of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, retracting the wings on his back.
"So, what skill did this external soul bone grant you?"
Looking at Yun Yuan, Qian Xunji asked eagerly.
Hearing this, Yun Yuan curled his lips slightly, revealing an excited smile as he explained to his teacher Qian Xunji:
"Teacher, I've named this soul bone Wind Thunder Wings, and the skill it gives me is called 'Wind Thunder Movement.' As the name suggests, it allows me to teleport through space instantly."
"Moreover, as my cultivation increases, the distance I can teleport will grow longer and longer. It can be considered a spatial-type soul skill."
"For me, there's no skill more perfect than this Wind Thunder Movement. Combined with my Atlas Spear…"
"How should I put it... It's extremely insidious."
