Douluo Continent: The Real World

After resting for nearly an hour, Yu Tianyan finally regained his ability to move.

"Sister Erlong, how did you absorb it so quickly?" Yu Tianyan asked curiously.

It didn't make sense to absorb an eighty-thousand-year soul bone and soul ring simultaneously in such a short amount of time.

Patting Yu Tianyan's head affectionately, Liu Erlong replied with a hint of frustration, "It's your troublesome heart fire. I don't know why it suddenly erupted. If it hadn't been aimed at me, it would have burned me to death. But fortunately, its explosion sped up my absorption, so I was able to save you in time."

Hearing this, Yu Tianyan understood. His efforts from when he was three years old had finally paid off. He had concentrated all his mental and soul power to refine the heart fire, which ended up saving his life at this crucial moment.

"Haha, really? Then I am truly lucky," he chuckled, though he felt a dull pain in his lungs.

He sighed, realizing that his injuries were not so easily healed. Once they returned to Tiandou City, he would need to find a healing spirit master to prevent any lingering injuries.

"Xiaoyan, can you walk now?" Liu Erlong asked, concerned.

Yu Tianyan nodded, glancing at the two severely burned Fire Phoenixes. He said, "Sister Erlong, go check if those two left any soul bones. They hurt me so badly—it would only be fair if I got something powerful from them."

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes at him. This kid was really greedy. He already had 15 soul bones over 30,000 years old in his storage bracelet, yet he was concerned about these two thousand-year soul bones.

"I know, I know. They're only thousand-year soul beasts. How good could the quality even be?" she said.

Using her dragon claw, she tore apart the male Jidian Fire Phoenix in frustration. To her surprise, a pair of wing-shaped crystal soul bones, emitting red and blue light, lay quietly on the ground.

Stunned, Liu Erlong asked, "What are these?"

Yu Tianyan quickly stepped forward, his eyes widening in recognition as he thought of a man named Tang San. He blurted out, "An external spirit bone! Sister, it's an external spirit bone!"

Liu Erlong picked up the pair of wings and examined them closely. "I never imagined we'd actually find an external soul bone. Xiaoyan, we are so lucky," she said excitedly. She had only heard about external soul bones but had never seen one herself, even after years of traveling across the continent.

Suddenly, she remembered something and hurried over to the female Phoenix's body. With a swing of her dragon claw, she cut through the remains, revealing another pair of wings that shone with red and blue light.

"It's a matching pair. Oh my god, Xiaoyan, what kind of luck is this? Another external soul bone!"

Liu Erlong held up both pairs of wings, comparing them. Under her gaze, the light from each pair slowly drew together, and their auras merged. Red and blue light shot up into the sky. Her eyes widened; she knew this phenomenon well. It was the precondition for the martial soul fusion technique she had once used with Flender and Yu Xiaogang.

"How is this possible? Is there a martial soul fusion technique between soul bones?" she asked, shocked.

Yu Tianyan stepped forward, equally amazed and a bit puzzled. In his previous life, there were records on Douluo Continent of Soul Bone Fusion Techniques—a one-in-ten-thousand chance of awakening a special ability when a soul master possessed at least three soul bones. However, there was no record of external soul bones in the same location fusing. He had some guesses, but it was impossible to confirm anything now.

Although he was excited, he knew they needed to return to Tiandou City before dark. "Sister, let's store these for now and study them later," Yu Tianyan said.

Liu Erlong, though thrilled to find the external soul bones, knew that Yu Tianyan's health came first.

They had stayed here long enough for him to recover some soul power and regain his strength. Only after Yu Tianyan had enough power to activate his heart fire to protect his body did the two of them continue their journey.

"Let's get back and get you healed first," Liu Erlong said.

Meanwhile, in the Soul Hunting Forest outside Notting City, Yu Xiaogang, who had been in a coma for three days, finally stirred, his spirit weak and drained.

"What's happening to me?" he murmured.

"Teacher, you're awake!" Tang San, who had been by his side, exclaimed in relief. He activated his Xuan Tian Gong, transferring his pure inner energy into Yu Xiaogang's body.

With Tang San's help, Yu Xiaogang gradually regained his focus. "Xiao San, am I still alive?" he asked in disbelief.

Tang San nodded. "Yes, teacher. You're okay now, but you'll need to rest for a long time."

"Did you save me, Xiao San?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

Tang San scratched his head and replied, "Yes, teacher. My father taught me a few methods for dealing with toxins."

In reality, Tang Hao had only recently taken his son seriously after confirming that Tang San possessed twin martial spirits, and had passed down the Chaos Cape Hammer Technique.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, piecing things together. "So, that's how it is."

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked excitedly, "Xiao San, did you succeed?"

Tang San raised his right hand, and deep blue silver grass sprouted from his palm. A yellow hundred-year spirit ring circled his body. Unlike regular silver grass, this grass was three fingers wide.

The master's eyes sparkled with excitement. "How is its toughness? Did it inherit the venom of the mandrake snake?"

Tang San demonstrated. Several strands of Blue Silver Grass extended from his palm and wrapped around a small tree. He pulled hard, and the trunk bent under the pressure, the grass taut but unbroken.

"Teacher, you were right. The Blue Silver Grass inherited the paralysis toxin of the mandrake snake," Tang San explained.

Yu Xiaogang put his hands on Tang San's shoulders, trembling with excitement. "It worked, Xiao San. My theory was correct!"

However, Tang San didn't dwell on his teacher's words. As a Tang Sect disciple, he adhered to a single truth: Once a teacher, always a father.

After a brief rest, the two left the Soul Hunting Forest. Despite the dangers they faced, the outcome was good. Tang San obtained a spirit ring with an ideal age, further solidifying his respect for Yu Xiaogang.

Back in Tiandou City, it was already dark when Liu Erlong took Yu Tianyan to a clinic.

The clinic was run by Ye Sheng, a Level 52 healing soul king with a Begonia martial soul. He was rumored to be the younger brother of the Undead Clan leader and well-regarded in Tiandou City.

Soft white crabapple flowers floated above Yu Tianyan's head, bathing him in a warm, comforting light. He couldn't help but relax and stretch.

"All of his internal organs are damaged, but this child's physique is extraordinary. With about half a month of rest, he'll be fine," Ye Sheng assured.

After twenty minutes of treatment, Yu Tianyan's internal injuries healed completely, even causing his hair to grow longer.

"Thank you, Master Ye." Liu Erlong left the consultation fee and led Yu Tianyan out of the clinic.

The Begonia martial soul brought back memories from Yu Tianyan's previous life.
