Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 74 Boiling Blood

"This time is a little different. Do you still have your invincible shield?"

"Are you in danger?" Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaosheng's expression changed.

"A... evil spirit master self-destructed right before my eyes." Wang Nan's expression was somewhat complicated. He recalled the two lines of tears he had seen on that child's face. He didn't know whether someone who was not in control of their own destiny could be considered a true evil spirit master.

Ye Xiaosheng looked Wang Nan up and down, and only felt relieved when he saw that there were no obvious injuries on his body. "Okay, but you must have taken more than one invincible shield from me over the years, right? Have you used them all?"

"The other one was given away. You know this person too, it's Gongyang Mo."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaosheng's expression became somewhat strange.

"Do you know how much an invincible shield costs outside? You just give it away like that? You two wouldn't—"

"Go away, go away." Wang Nan waved his hand. "I traded my invincible shield for some things with him."

Ye Xiaosheng was just joking, and quickly took out another invincible shield. "You're lucky to have met me. Otherwise, even if a level 5 soul master can make level 5 soul tools, no one can take out something as special as an invincible shield as I can."

"Indeed, thank you very much for this." Wang Nan's words were sincere. If it weren't for Ye Xiaosheng's soul tool, this surveillance mission would definitely not have been so easy.

However, Wang Nan's seriousness made Ye Xiaosheng a little embarrassed. "I'm just afraid that you might accidentally leave this brain full of wonderful ideas out in the open."

……

First he met Cai Meier, then Ye Xiaosheng. By the time Wang Nan returned to his dormitory, it was already late at night. Sitting on his bed, Wang Nan could see the moon hanging in the sky through the window.

His right hand swept across the storage soul tool on his wrist, and a blood-red soul bone appeared in his hand.

Several days passed, and the soul bone remained the same as before, with a faint, blood-red light emanating from it and a faint heartbeat emanating from within.

Wang Nan meditated for a moment, adjusting his state to its best, and then channeled his soul power into his soul bone.

The blood-red soul bone slowly softened, gradually turning into a ball of red liquid that spun continuously in Wang Nan's hands.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Nan manipulated the liquid to merge into his chest.

heat.

This was Wang Nan's first impression. He felt as if a flame had been ignited in his chest. His heart was pounding faster and faster, accompanied by heavy breathing. His blood was boiling and rushing through his body. Then, it felt as if thousands of silver needles had pierced his chest.

The red liquid gradually merged with Wang Nan's sternum. In that instant, dozens of tiny red spikes emerged from the soul bone, piercing Wang Nan's chest and connecting with his blood vessels.

"Knock knock—"

This was Wang Nan's heartbeat, and as the soul bone merged with it, the sound became increasingly rapid.

"Knock knock—"

This was another unfamiliar sound, like another heart beginning to beat slowly in Wang Nan's chest.

Wang Nan's blood rushed through his body under the influence of the two "hearts," flowing through various blood vessels again and again. The restless blood caused waves of pain in his blood vessels, and his skin turned bright red as a result.

The blood flowed faster and faster, as if waves were surging from Wang Nan's body. As the "waves" rose higher and higher, the soul power within Wang Nan's body also began to fluctuate accordingly.

Blood and soul power surged and circulated through Wang Nan's body along his blood vessels and meridians, washing over his body again and again, making his whole body seem to "swell".

Wang Nan was under immense pressure. He was controlling his soul power to absorb the soul bone while trying to use his mental power to restrain the uncontrollable force within his body.

"Knock knock—"

Perhaps it was just a moment, or perhaps a long time had passed, but Wang Nan was completely immersed in the changes in his body. He could only hear one sound, which was both his own original heartbeat and the rhythm of his soul bone.

Wang Nan's body has gradually returned to normal, his blood and soul power have returned to calm, and this external soul bone has completely merged with him.

Wang Nan slowly opened his eyes. The moon outside the window had turned into the sun. He heard several low shouts in the distance, as if inner court disciples were testing their skills on the arena.

Wang Nan got out of bed, feeling a wave of relief wash over him, as if the pain he had endured earlier was just an illusion. After moving around a bit, he realized that not only his hearing, but his body also felt much lighter, and the power within him had become stronger.

Wang Nan assessed his own condition and raised an eyebrow slightly. In his mind's eye, only a short time seemed to have passed. But judging from his current state, although he didn't know the exact amount of time, it was definitely more than a day.

However, no matter how long it takes, he feels it's a very worthwhile investment to obtain such a coveted external soul bone.

After Wang Nan fused with this external sternum bone, his chest's defenses were greatly enhanced. Of course, just like Ji Tongxuan before him, this soul bone could temporarily replace the organs in Wang Nan's chest cavity to sustain his life when he was seriously injured.

Normally, this soul bone would also enhance Wang Nan's heart and lungs, making his blood flow and breathing more powerful, and even strengthening his entire body as a result.

Perhaps it was because Ji Tongxuan hadn't had this soul bone for very long, or perhaps for other reasons, but Wang Nan didn't see any soul skills that this soul bone could provide in him.

It wasn't until Wang Nan completely fused the soul bone with himself that he learned about the skills it granted him.

Wang Nan named this skill Boiling Blood.

As the name suggests, it can make Wang Nan's blood "boil". After using this soul skill, Wang Nan's physique, strength, attack power, endurance and explosive power will be greatly enhanced. The degree of enhancement and the duration will be affected by Wang Nan's physical strength.

For Wang Nan now, unleashing the full power of Boiling Blood would double his attributes, but the duration would only be a few seconds. Of course, if the amplification level was reduced, the duration of Boiling Blood would be longer.

Although it wasn't an offensive soul skill, Wang Nan was actually more satisfied. His main offensive methods were all based on the Panlong Staff, so the attribute boost from this breastbone was more important to him.

Moreover, as an external soul bone, it can grow along with the soul master's own power, and Wang Nan is already very satisfied to have obtained it.
