Chapter 53 Longwei
"Kid, you've finally absorbed it all!"
Seeing Wu Heyi's exhausted eyes and the slight fluctuations of soul power rippling across his body.
Surprisingly, Wu Heyi's soul power level did not increase significantly, only rising from level 33 to level 34.
In fact, Wu Heyi had already noticed this when he absorbed the first and second spirit rings.
Logically speaking, with Wu Heyi's exceptional talent, if a normal Soul Master could absorb a Soul Ring of extremely high age like him, their Soul Power should surge by nearly 20 levels when absorbing a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Unlike him, who needed to slowly cultivate to level 20, this was especially evident when absorbing the second spirit ring of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast. After absorbing it, Wu Heyi's cultivation level only increased by two levels.
The increase in soul power from level 22 to level 30 was entirely due to Wu Heyi's hard work and perseverance.
But in the end, Wu Heyi also had doubts about where those excess soul powers went, but he never managed to get any valuable answers.
Until this time, he absorbed a 3-year-old Flame Scale Flood Dragon Soul Bone.
At the moment when the Flaming Scaled Dragon's final soul skill completely dissipated, it seemed as if an invisible giant hand had completely absorbed its soul power into this external soul bone.
Therefore, the lifespan of a soul bone is indeed much longer than that of a soul beast's soul ring.
But it was only after this absorption that Wu Heyi suddenly realized where all his excess soul power had gone.
All that soul power was devoured by the array's core. Wu Heyi, having understood all this, finally understood why the armor's strength could reach level 50.
This time, even the large amount of soul power contained in the soul bone was swallowed up by the fire-attribute array eye, with only a small amount of soul power affecting Wu Heyi's cultivation improvement.
However, the effects brought by the soul bone itself are indeed incredibly powerful.
Normally, only soul bones born from normal 10-year-old soul beasts will grant a soul master two additional soul skills.
However, in a sense, this soul bone also grants two soul skills.
Soul Bone Skill: Dragon's Might!
When actively released, it is like a dazzling light, which can make one's strength soar by 50% like a rocket, while at the same time exerting a 50% to 10% strength suppression on all martial souls and soul beasts with dragon bloodlines.
Without being actively released, if a fatal blow is suffered, the soul bone will stand up like a loyal guardian, demonstrating the magical effect of taking the fall for the enemy.
Then it enters a long cooldown period of 180 days. During this cooldown period, the Soul Bone skill is like a sleeping dragon, which cannot be actively awakened.
In a sense, this external soul bone is a double-edged sword, granting two soul skills, one active and one passive. The passive skill, however, is like a surging wave, far more domineering.
After resting for a while, Wu Heyi stood up and announced that he had finished absorbing his soul bone and could begin his journey home.
Dugu Bo was also sensible and did not inquire about the specific soul skill Wu Heyi gained after absorbing the soul bone. After all, soul bone skills are like a secret garden in everyone's heart, and ordinary people would never easily reveal that they possess a soul bone to others.
"Old monster, thank you so much!" Wu Heyi said gratefully, then explained the effects of his soul skill in detail. For a fleeting moment, a hint of killing intent and regret flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. But quickly, his emotions returned to their usual calm, like a still lake.
It must be said that the effect of this soul skill was like a sharp sword, deeply piercing Dugu Bo's heart. Facing an opponent of similar strength, being able to suppress the opponent's strength by 50% was terrifyingly powerful.
However, upon hearing that the soul bone was located on the heart, he decisively gave up. Normally, a soul bone located on the hands, feet, or skull would already cause unbearable pain, but this soul bone was to be placed on the heart. He couldn't help but look at Wu Heyi with newfound respect. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to endure it.
Dugu Bo did not let Wu Heyi demonstrate the effects of his newly acquired soul skill. Instead, he scooped him up again like an eagle catching a chick.
This was not for any other reason than that Wu Heyi at that time did not yet have the ability to fly and travel.
The two soared into the air like birds, quickly leaving the heart of the volcanic forest. As they traveled further away from the forest, their cultivation, which had been suppressed by the extreme fire attribute, recovered more and more rapidly.
After completely separating, Dugu Bo even felt that his cultivation had increased by one-tenth, while Wu Heyi had already fallen into a deep sleep like a lazy pig after the flight stabilized.
They flew in the sky from late at night until dawn. Wu Heyi opened his sleepy eyes and was surprised to find that the two of them were still flying.
At this moment, Wu Heyi was in a state of panic. When Dugu Bo saw that Wu Heyi had woken up, he only glanced at him casually.
However, that one glance sent a chill down Wu Heyi's spine. He thought to himself, "Could this old man be having second thoughts? Or does he want to take me to a special place and open his heart to me?"
Just then, Dugu Bo began to descend, and waves of cold air swept over him.
Wu Heyi then belatedly realized that there seemed to be a place in the far north of Douluo Continent where, after pouring his heart out to him, he could still ensure that he would not die for a short period of time.
Some ruthless killers enjoy the feeling of their prey being tortured to death, their lives slowly fading away like a candle flame.
Wu Heyi suddenly inhaled some kind of unknown pollen, and then felt dizzy as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his vision suddenly went black.
Just as his consciousness was about to fade, he suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his buttocks.
"Could it be that someone with such a strange fetish as Dugu Bo actually enjoys starting with cute boys' butts! Waaaaah!"
Because of his dizziness and the excruciating pain in his buttocks, Wu Heyi was unable to even beg for mercy.
However, his vision soon returned, and what came into view was a woman who looked somewhat familiar.
"Dugu Yan!"
Wu Heyi screamed in surprise, then retreated quickly like a startled rabbit, clutching his chest tightly with both hands.
"Ah! Don't come any closer! I only sell my art, not my body!"
Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo with a helpless expression, meaning...
"When you extracted the toxins from his body just now, did you also remove his brain?"
Of course, Dugu Bo had no time to pay attention to the two of them at this moment.
Wu Heyi is quite adaptable, and it adapted in just a few minutes, after realizing that the surrounding flowers were fragrant and it was very safe.
He opened his mouth and asked.
"Old monster, where is this place?"
Although Dugu Bo heard Wu Heyi's question, he did not offer any answer and continued to busy himself with his own affairs.
However, Wu Heyi had already realized that such a secluded paradise could inspire Dugu Bo to devote himself so wholeheartedly, so only that place could satisfy both of the above conditions.
"This place is my grandfather's medicine valley. All the plants here are rare and precious medicinal herbs that he loves but whose effects he does not know. He usually comes to tend to them every three or four days!"
