NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Bestowing a 100,000-Year Soul Bone, Capturing Xiao Wu
In the end,
Dugu Yan successfully obtained her fourth soul ring, which was none other than a 100,000-year soul ring gifted by the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape!
Yellow, yellow, purple, red!
This breathtaking combination of soul rings was undeniably one of a kind, unprecedented and unparalleled.
Witnessing this scene, the Shrek members were utterly astounded. If they hadn't seen it unfold before their very eyes, they would never have believed that in today's Douluo Continent, someone's fourth soul ring could reach the level of 100,000 years!
"For some reason, I suddenly feel like defecting and working for Mr. Lu,"
Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue murmured, his eyes glued enviously to Dugu Yan.
"I feel the same,"
Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long echoed softly, swallowing involuntarily.
"A 100,000-year fourth soul ring? This is… truly a case of there being heavens beyond heavens!"
Oscar thought he was a peerless genius, blessed with innate full soul power, destined for an illustrious future with few capable of matching him.
Yet now, seeing Dugu Yan with her fourth soul ring at 100,000 years, Oscar couldn't help but feel a bit like a clown… faintly insignificant, if not outright laughable.
"Thank you, Brother!"
Looking at the dazzling 100,000-year soul ring on her body, Dugu Yan felt immense joy and happiness from the depths of her heart. Now, she had become one of the leading figures among the younger generation in the Soul Master world.
With the energy from this 100,000-year soul ring, Dugu Yan instantly advanced to a level-47 Soul Ancestor.
At this moment, she needed to consolidate her foundation well; otherwise, a shaky foundation would bring trouble in the future.
"Go back and get some rest. Absorbing this soul ring must have worn you out."
Hearing these words,
Dugu Yan nodded slightly, her face showing a look of satisfaction and contentment, while Lu Yunzhou simply dismissed her.
Obedient as ever, Dugu Yan complied without a fuss. With her good friend Ye Lengleng,bshe returned to the Wind-Thunder Vessel.
Watching Lu Yunzhou's tall figure, Ye Lengleng's gaze was somewhat dazed as if she were lost in thought.
After a moment,
Ye Lengleng muttered to herself, "If he were to help… that matter could likely be solved with ease, right?"
After Ye Lengleng and Dugu Yan left, Lu Yunzhou cast a glance at the corpse of the Titan Giant Ape and raised one hand.
In the next moment,
a left arm bone from the Titan Giant Ape emerged from its corpse and flew into Lu Yunzhou's hand in an instant.
"A 100,000-year soul bone?!" Staring at the shimmering bone, everyone's minds surged with a single thought.
Immediately, countless pairs of eyes began to show a gleam of greed. Soul bones, already precious and rare, were items with prices beyond compare, especially the 10,000-year soul bones that were practically priceless.
So then, a 100,000-year soul bone was beyond imagination.
Everyone present knew that if a 100,000-year soul bone surfaced in the market, it would inevitably spark a war, potentially even triggering a cataclysm within the entire Soul Master world.
Yet now,
Lu Yunzhou held such a 100,000-year soul bone in his hands.
"If I had a 100,000-year soul bone, I'd go from a nobody to a phoenix!" Ma Hongjun's gaze was filled with greed.
Although he longed for it, he wasn't foolish enough to fight or steal for it.
Dai Mubai stared at the 100,000-year soul bone in Lu Yunzhou's hand, a thought crossing his mind as his desires soared.
"If I could get a 100,000-year soul bone, then maybe… I could finally defeat him?"
In the sky,
Qian Renxue looked longingly at the 100,000-year soul bone in Lu Yunzhou's hand, yet ultimately, she dismissed the thought.
After all, only a fool would offend Lu Yunzhou over a soul bone. And Qian Renxue, obviously, wasn't a fool.
Just as everyone was captivated by the appearance of the 100,000-year soul bone, Lu Yunzhou's voice suddenly rang out, "Take it."
As Lu Yunzhou's words fell, the 100,000-year soul bone in his hand flew up, tossed towards Qian Renxue in the sky.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned.
While she was wondering whom Lu Yunzhou intended to give the 100,000-year soul bone, the radiant soul bone had already arrived right in front of her.
Reacting swiftly, Qian Renxue instinctively reached out to catch it.
Before she could fully process what had happened, Lu Yunzhou's voice resounded again,
"I am a cultivator. This item holds little value for me, so it's better off with you."
Qian Renxue: "???"
Yu Long: "!!!"
Ci Xue: "!!!"
The Shrek members: "!!!"
After repeatedly confirming that she hadn't misheard, Qian Renxue subconsciously replied, "Mr. Lu… are you certain? This is a 100,000-year soul bone, even if it's of no use to you now. But keeping it… you might find it useful someday. Are you sure… you want to give it to me?"
In response, Lu Yunzhou shook his head, replying firmly, "Enough, my decision is made; no need for more words."
Having spoken, he glanced over at Xiao Wu, meeting her resentful, killing intent-laden gaze.
Lu Yunzhou's tone shifted as he pronounced her fate,
"This transformed soul beast is mine now. She'll serve as a convenient subject for my experiments."
Having said as much, Qian Renxue knew it was best not to argue further.
While she didn't know what experiments Lu Yunzhou intended, she was in no position to ask.
Thus, she nodded slightly, and expressed her gratitude, "Qian Renxue thanks Mr. Lu; I gratefully accept your kindness."
With that, Qian Renxue carefully stored the 100,000-year soul bone away. Seeing this, the Shrek members were stunned.
"A 100,000-year soul bone… gifted away? What… exactly is this guy's background?"
Ma Hongjun stammered, feeling as though his worldview had been turned upside down.
A 100,000-year soul bone, one worthy of being called a "national treasure" even within an empire, yet… Lu Yunzhou had just given it away?
Hearing this, Dai Mubai added, "Such extravagance! Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't give away a 100,000-year soul bone. They'd be hesitant to even give away a 10,000-year soul bone!"
Ning Rongrong gave her own take on the matter, "Powerful, domineering, generous… and handsome on top of it…" It wasn't just the Shrek group that was shaken by this scene.
Even Yu Long, Ci Xue, Devil Bear, and Ghost Leopard Douluo were left dumbfounded.
"A 100,000-year soul bone… given away so casually, cultivators… are they all so terrifying?"
Ghost Leopard Douluo muttered, swallowing hard. Hearing this, Devil Bear said enviously, "If I had it, how amazing that would be! I might even become an offering with it."
Next to him, Yu Long also murmured, "A 10,000-year soul bone as payment had already been beyond belief, but now he gives away a 100,000-year soul bone with ease. He… is truly a divine being!"
After putting away the 100,000-year soul bone, Qian Renxue cautiously asked Lu Yunzhou, "Mr. Lu, what shall we do next?"
In response, Lu Yunzhou did not immediately answer, only quietly collecting the corpse of the Titan Giant Ape. Then, Lu Yunzhou replied, "We're heading to the Lake of Life, the core region of the Star Dou Forest."
