Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 146: The Difficulty in Choosing Spirit Rings
How could Xiao Xiao not know what Master Xuan was going to do, so he rushed over in three or two steps and quickly came to Master Xuan's side.

Knowing that Xiao Xiao's attack power was insufficient, Old Xuan handed her a sharp blade and at the same time tore off a patch of dark golden hair on the back of the Terrorclaw Bear's neck.

Xiao Xiao put all his strength into it. Even though the bones of the Terrorclaw Bear had been shattered and the outer layer of hair defense had been broken, he still struggled tremendously to stab the sharp blade into the body, piercing the central nervous system of the thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

After suffering such a fatal blow, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body twitched for a long time before it died completely.

A dazzling bright purple soul ring appeared with the death of the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear.

After a brief observation, Elder Xuan said, "It's probably about two thousand years of cultivation. With your current abilities and the improvement of your body from the two soul bones, you should have no problem absorbing it."

"Thank you, teacher!" Xiao Xiao quickly thanked him.

Huo Yuhao suddenly asked: "Xiao Xiao, are you sure you want to absorb this spirit ring?"

The three people's eyes immediately focused on Huo Yuhao.

Xiao Xiao said puzzledly: "What's wrong? This spirit ring is obviously very suitable?"

"If you want to focus on developing the attributes of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron in the future, absorbing this spirit ring will not bring you any benefit. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attributes are fierce and violent, which is completely different from the gentle erosion of your soul-suppressing power. Absorbing this spirit ring will most likely only enhance the strength of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron itself, but not the attributes that come with it."

Huo Yuhao hesitated and said, “Do you want to look for it again? Although I know you want to enhance the strength of your martial soul, the Star Dou Great Forest is so large that you may not be able to find a spirit ring with matching attributes that can enhance the strength of your martial soul.”

"Silly boy, the restrictions are so strict. Unless fate favors you, it won't be easy to find the right one."

Before Xiao Xiao could say anything, Old Xuan spoke first.

"There is no such thing as a perfect soul master's practice. When it comes to hunting soul rings, luck is even more important. As long as the direction of improvement is in line with your own plan, it is acceptable to sacrifice some other directions for this. Blindly pursuing better things will only make you worry about gains and losses."

"Xiao Xiao, start absorbing."

There was a hint of urgency in Master Xuan's tone, and it was obvious that Huo Yuhao's unwillingness to be easily satisfied displeased Master Xuan.

Many soul masters have difficulty hunting suitable soul beasts when they encounter them because their elders are not strong enough, so they have to choose inferior soul beasts.

Huo Yuhao and his friends were so picky when they had help in hunting powerful soul beasts that they had to spend so much time searching for possible soul beasts in the soul beast forest.

You have to know that the Star Dou Forest is the place most prone to accidents, so the less time you can stay there the better.

"Yes!" Xiao Xiao looked at the squad leader deeply, and finally chose to absorb the soul ring of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Xiao Xiao naturally knew that the monitor wanted her to be better, but sometimes pursuing perfection too much would lead to failure. Looking at Xiao Xiao who sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spirit ring, Huo Yuhao fell into self-doubt.

Perhaps I really took it for granted? I really thought this world was a game world, and as long as I wanted, I could get whatever I wanted.

Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered a little story he had heard in his previous life -

If you could pick an apple for free in an apple orchard, and you could keep moving forward but couldn't look back, what would you choose?
Hunting souls at this time is very similar to choosing apples. You never know whether the soul beast you meet now is the most suitable one you can meet, and you also cannot know whether you can meet a more suitable one in the future.

It is normal for soul masters to stop at the right time and take the "most suitable" apple so far.

Even in the original novel, Huo Gua's fourth soul ring was far from expected. Only by standing from the perspective of the original novel can I plan my soul rings to my heart's content and make my soul ring configuration close to perfect.

What about the others? Before absorbing the spirit ring, no one knows what spirit skills they can obtain. They can only choose spirit beasts with attributes and abilities similar to their own as much as possible, hoping to obtain spirit skills that suit their fighting style.

Just like Huo Gua's absorption of the Silver Moon Wolf King's soul ring, who would have thought that he would eventually get a soul skill that allowed him to attack his target indiscriminately? The Silver Moon Wolf King didn't have this skill at all, right?
"Yuhao, are you okay?"

Looking at the depressed Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong felt a little worried.

It was the first time that Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao not having that calm and confident look.

"I'm fine." Huo Yuhao shook his head, leaned against a tree beside him, closed his eyes and silently sorted out his thoughts.

However, Old Xuan had no time to comfort Huo Yuhao. Instead, he reached out and touched the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. After a while, a hint of excitement appeared on Old Xuan's face.

With his palm as sharp as a knife, Old Xuan cut off the only remaining right forelimb of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with one strike. He dissected it open in a few moves, revealing a strange bone.

This bone is dark gold in color and emits a strong soul power fluctuation. It is obviously a soul bone. Xiao Xiao's luck is not just good, it is simply amazingly good!
Not only did he obtain the extremely rare Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring, but he also got a soul bone!
Moreover, this soul bone was different from the traditional right arm soul bones that Huo Yuhao and his companions had seen. To be more precise, it was a metacarpal bone.

The bones are similar to those of the palm, which are not big, but there are five narrow blades at the front, like a smaller version of a claw. The dark golden halo flows on the blades like water waves, giving it a feeling of a divine weapon.

Elder Xuan's face was filled with shock and envy. "You little guys are really blessed! As a rare and powerful soul beast, I'm not surprised that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has soul bones, but I never expected that the most precious right palm bone it can produce would appear."

"Although the amplification effects of other soul bones produced by the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear are also very strong, most of them are inclined to defense. Only the left and right arm bones have the terrifying attack ability of the Terror Claw."

"The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's most powerful attack lies in its pair of claws. The two claws of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear look similar, but in fact, the right claw is stronger and more powerful. The right claw is the part with the greatest attack power of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. You are so lucky to obtain the right metacarpal bone of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear."

"More importantly, the Terrorclaw Soul Skill recorded on the metacarpal bone can grow with the soul master's growth, just like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear itself, just like an external soul bone. As long as a right arm bone that matches it can be found, it will not affect the fusion of the right arm bone. The only drawback is that this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has only cultivated for about two thousand years, so it may take a long time for this right metacarpal bone to grow."
