Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 201 Dividing the Soul Bones

Chrysanthemum Douluo returned home excitedly that day. Even the usually stern Ghost Douluo showed a rare hint of excitement on his face, indicating that he had received a good reward.

When Chrysanthemum Douluo took out three soul bones, the entire room was instantly filled with dazzling light. These three soul bones were at least 50,000 years old, including Xiao Wu's 100,000-year-old right arm soul bone, which was priceless.

As for the other two soul bones, in terms of attributes, they are very suitable for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. According to Bibi Dong's thoughts, she probably wants to give Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul bone to Yang Ping'an.

Although Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo both greatly admired the 100,000-year-old soul bone, they also knew that Yang Ping'an had made a great contribution to this operation. If it weren't for Yang Ping'an's planning, the group might not have been able to bring Xiao Wu back successfully, and there might even have been danger.

These three soul bones are all very good. In addition to Xiao Wu's 100,000-year right arm soul bone, there is also a Netherworld Leopard's left leg soul bone and a power-type right arm soul bone. If Yang Ping'an is not mistaken, the right arm soul bone should come from the soul bone that Tang Hao dropped from his right hand. Its age is at least 70,000 years, and may even reach the level of 80,000 years.

It has to be said that Bibi Dong really went all out this time. Whether it was to reward Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo or to win over Yang Ping'an, she paid a huge price, but she also had some ulterior motives.

Yang Ping'an was also very clear that no matter which of the two right arm soul bones he chose, he would probably be locked in a life-or-death struggle with Tang San in the future. Especially Xiao Wu's soul bone, he didn't know if Tang San would be able to detect it in the future, since after a 100,000-year-old soul beast dies, its soul will be partially hidden in its soul ring or soul bone.

Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo was quite casual, letting Yang Ping'an choose one at random, since it was all free anyway.

After struggling with the decision for a while, Yang Ping'an finally chose Xiao Wu's right arm soul bone. He had long been at odds with the Tang family and was not afraid of generating any hatred.

As for the other two soul bones, to be honest, Yang Ping'an didn't think much of them. Even though Tang Hao's soul bone was of extremely high quality and was even the inherited soul bone of the Clear Sky Sect, its age was still a bit too low. According to Yang Ping'an's original plan, apart from the head soul bone, all the other soul bones he had should be of the 100,000-year level or even higher.

However, there is another problem. Yang Ping'an has two soul bones on his right arm, including the 15,000-year-old dragon-dragon right arm soul bone left by his father. In terms of attributes, it is actually very well matched with him. Unfortunately, its age is too low, and in terms of power, it is not even as good as his ordinary soul skills. This is one of the reasons why Yang Ping'an uses it relatively little.

However, Yang Ping'an cannot do what Tang Hao did—sever an arm and reabsorb it—because he still has a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear external soul bone in his palm. This is the most valuable and powerful soul bone Yang Ping'an currently possesses. Moreover, Yang Ping'an is confident that he will eventually upgrade this external soul bone to the 100,000-year level, at which point it will definitely be one of the strongest soul bones in the world.

Seeing that Yang Ping'an had chosen Xiao Wu's right arm soul bone, Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed a little worried and said, "Ping'an, you already have two soul bones in your right arm. I'm afraid you can't absorb this one. Wouldn't you have gotten it for nothing?"

"Of course, in terms of pure value, this 100,000-yuan soul bone is probably more valuable than the other two soul bones, but you can't absorb it, so taking it is pointless."

"Moreover, this Netherworld Leopard's right leg soul bone is also very good. It is a top-grade speed-type soul bone, which can make up for some of your own lack of speed."

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "Thank you, Master, but I still want to choose this 100,000-year-old right arm soul bone, and I would like to trouble you to help me change my bones."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were immediately shocked: "Ping An, what did you say? Why would you want to change your soul bone? You should know that changing a soul bone is not that simple, and your situation is even more complicated, after all, you still have an external soul bone."

Yang Ping'an's face showed a resolute look: "Yes, Master, I have decided to undergo bone replacement. There may be some pain during the process, but it will definitely be better for my future."

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance. Obtaining three top-grade soul bones was originally a very happy thing, but if they were to replace the bones, not only would the process be extremely painful, but there might also be some unknown risks. Although the replacement soul bones were of higher quality, in fact, no one was ever willing to take such risks.

In fact, ever since Yang Ping'an saw these three soul bones, he had been thinking about the problem with the right arm soul bone in his hand. Although it was not too bad in terms of quality, it was still far from meeting his future goals. Rather than being troubled by the age limit of the soul bone when he cultivated to a higher level, he might as well replace the soul bone now when his soul power was relatively low, and solve the problem once and for all.

Especially regarding Xiao Wu's soul bone, in the original work, it is probably the most underrated of all of Tang San's soul bones, and also the most practical.

In the original story, Xiao Wu's soul bone provided two very good skills: teleportation and invincible golden body. Perhaps the power is not very strong, but it is definitely a cheat-like existence, and it can even greatly improve her self-protection ability in the future.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's face was also extremely conflicted. It wasn't that he was worried about not having a 100,000-year-old soul bone, but rather that Yang Ping'an's bone replacement was probably extremely troublesome. If it were someone else, perhaps they could just cut off the arm and reattach it with a soul bone. Of course, multiple healing-type soul saints would need to be arranged to treat the entire process to ensure there would be no side effects.

But Yang Ping'an's case is much more complicated. His arm needs to be cut open and the original bone removed, and the pain involved is far beyond anyone's imagination.

Yang Ping'an's face was full of determination: "Master, I am confident that my strength will not be affected by my arm in the future. Please help me."

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but sigh: "Fine, although you've acted recklessly, I will definitely help you complete the bone transformation and it will absolutely not affect you in any way."

Immediately afterwards, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but shake his head, and then he and Ghost Douluo each took the other two pieces. Chrysanthemum Douluo took Tang Hao's 80,000-year-old right arm soul bone, and Ghost Douluo took the Netherworld Leopard's left leg soul bone.

These two soul bones are a perfect match for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Originally, the two of them were missing soul bones for these two positions. After Chrysanthemum Douluo took Tang Hao's right arm soul bone, which was originally a top-grade strength-type soul bone that could greatly enhance his attack power.

After Ghost Douluo acquired this speed-type soul bone, both his left and right legs possessed top-grade speed-type soul bones. In terms of speed alone, he might not even be able to match the Limit Douluo.

Over the next few days, Chrysanthemum Douluo made various preparations, including preparing medicines, healing-type Soul Saints and personnel, and even making special preparations for the environment.

After all, this bone replacement is extremely important, as it can be said to affect Yang Ping'an's future development. If Yang Ping'an's external soul bone is accidentally destroyed, it will be a real problem.

Of course, Yang Ping'an never mentioned that he had a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg soul bone with healing abilities far superior to those of a Soul Saint. No matter what, Yang Ping'an always wanted to keep some of his trump cards to himself, even to Chrysanthemum Douluo.

In addition, Yang Ping'an had other plans regarding Xiao Wu's 100,000-year-old soul bone. Just from the first time he came into contact with it, Yang Ping'an felt a strange sense of familiarity with the soul bone, as if its attributes were very compatible with his own.

In fact, Yang Ping'an had always been a little puzzled. According to the Soft Bone Rabbit, how could it possibly reach the level of 100,000 years? You know, in the forest, even a Soft Bone Rabbit that is a thousand years old is very rare, let alone one that is ten thousand years old. But Xiao Wu and her mother were able to grow to 100,000 years old. There seemed to be something unpredictable about this.

Moreover, Xiao Wu's soul skills seem to be far beyond reality from beginning to end. You should know that even the strongest 100,000-year-old soul beasts do not have skills like the Invincible Golden Body.

Moreover, there is a very special case: in the original work, Xiao Wu was able to become the scabbard of the Asura Demon Sword. Does that mean that Xiao Wu herself has a connection with the Asura God? Otherwise, it is hard to imagine how Xiao Wu's abilities came about.

From any perspective, absorbing Xiao Wu's 100,000-year-old soul bone would definitely not be a loss, and there might even be unexpected surprises.
