The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 94 Thousand-Year-Old Torso Bones

Two hours later.

Just as everyone was getting bored, Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged absorbing the spirit ring, made a move.

The purple spirit ring that had been spinning wildly around his body became docile, and a faint blue light quietly emanated from within him.

Zhao Wuji exclaimed with delight, "It's done! It looks like Tang San has successfully absorbed the spirit ring!"

As blue light was released, strands of Blue Silver Grass began to grow slowly around Tang San's body.

Zhao Wuji told everyone to step back a bit. He knew that this was because Tang San, whose power had just increased, was somewhat out of control, which caused the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to grow uncontrollably.

A surge of soul power burst forth from his body. At this moment, Tang San's soul power had returned to its optimal state after absorbing the soul ring. On his right palm was a pale purple Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Xia Liang used his X-ray vision to see that the thickness of Tang San's soul power had increased slightly. It seemed that after absorbing the third soul ring, Tang San's soul power had increased from level 30 to level 31.

The originally light blue Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was stained light purple by the Human-Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring, clearly due to the accumulation of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's toxins.

When Tang San absorbed the Mandragora Serpent's soul ring, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul gained a trace of the Mandragora Serpent's paralyzing poison.

This time, absorbing the soul ring from the Human-Faced Demon Spider, it's estimated that it only inherited a trace of the spider's neurotoxin.

Absorbing a spirit ring that is too incompatible with your martial soul will cause the spirit ring's original attributes to be lost, thus greatly weakening the spirit ring's potential.

With his Soul Ring Fusion talent, Xia Liang had a profound understanding of the potential of Soul Rings. He was almost certain that even if Tang San could activate his Soul Ring Fusion talent, he wouldn't be able to fully unleash and fuse the attributes of his Soul Rings like he could.

However, with the Haotian Sect's exploding rings in the future, Tang San may not need the ring fusion technique to rely on.

Another ten minutes passed.

The third spirit ring was successfully absorbed.

Tang San slowly opened his eyes, purple light swirling within them. To his delight, with his soul power breaking through level 30, his Xuan Tian Gong had entered the fourth level, allowing him to activate many of the top ten Tang Clan hidden weapons.

The instant he opened his eyes, Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes suddenly noticed the unusual movement of the human-faced demon spider's corpse in front of him.

A faint purple light shone at the point where the human-faced spider's body connected to its head, accompanied by fluctuations in soul power.

Standing up, Tang San walked to the corpse of the Man-Faced Demon Spider and used his Xuan Yu Hand to twist off the spider's head. A bone-like object, resembling a spine, slowly floated into the sky from the broken point.

Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"Soul bone?"

Ning Rongrong blurted out these words subconsciously. As the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader, she had heard her father mention the concept of soul bones.

The bone-like objects that burst from the soul beasts, imbued with soul power fluctuations, were clearly soul bones.

Seeing a piece of soul bone fly out of the corpse of the human-faced demon spider, even the worldly-wise Zhao Wuji couldn't help but freeze in place.

Tang San grasped the spine-like soul bone with his Xuan Yu Hand. Suddenly, he felt a violent aura rushing towards his chest through his Xuan Yu Hand. The bones in his torso actually resonated with this soul bone.

That fleeting resonance ignited a glint of greed in Tang San's eyes. However, he didn't fully understand the concept of spirit bones. He had only heard his teacher mention them once, without being told the specific functions of the various spirit bones.

Now that the teacher is not here, and I don't know whether this soul bone is good or bad for me, it's best not to absorb it rashly.

Ning Rongrong ran up to Tang San and carefully examined the bone-like object he held in Xuan Yu's hands. After a moment of thought, she exclaimed in surprise, "There's no mistake, this is a soul bone. And it's a torso bone! Tang San, your luck is incredible! Among the six soul bones, torso bones are the hardest to obtain from soul beasts!"

"Teacher Zhao, what do you think?" Tang San asked the experienced Zhao Wuji.

The greed in Zhao Wuji's eyes immediately subsided. After much internal struggle, he nodded. "Yes, this is indeed a torso bone. Tang San, Rongrong is right, you're very lucky. Since you've already absorbed the Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring, why not absorb this soul bone as well?"

"What's the difference between the torso bones and the soul bones in other parts?" Tang San pressed.

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry, I only know a little about soul bones. Don't laugh at me, you little monsters, but this is the first time in my life I've ever seen a soul bone fly out of a soul beast."

Tang San glanced at Ning Rongrong, trying to get the answer he wanted.

Ning Rongrong shook her head. "I've only heard my father talk about how rare the torso bone is. I don't know what its special uses are compared to other soul bones."

Seeing that no one could answer his questions, Tang San sighed inwardly. Only then did he realize how important his teacher was. If his teacher were here, he would surely be able to resolve his doubts.

"The difference between torso bones and other parts of the soul bone lies in their function. Head soul bones generally grant the absorber a significant boost to their mental attributes. Leg soul bones, on the other hand, grant the absorber an increase in speed. Torso bones, depending on their associated attributes, will also provide different amplification effects to the absorber. For example, torso bones with the life attribute can greatly enhance the absorber's vitality. Torso bones with the poison attribute will likely enhance the absorber's ability to use poison. In addition, soul rings and soul bones from the same soul beast will be more compatible on the same person."

After hearing this explanation, everyone's eyes turned to Xia Liang, who was the one who had spoken.

Looking back at everyone's gaze, Xia Liang finally understood why Yu Xiaogang was called a master of unparalleled wisdom and invincible theory.

If this group of people can't even explain the function of the six major soul bones, then they certainly don't know about the existence of external soul bones.

"So you know so much theoretical knowledge?" Ning Rongrong looked at Xia Liang with some surprise.

The others also cast various glances their way.

With everyone's eyes on him, Xia Liang smiled and said nothing more.

After hearing Xia Liang's explanation, Tang San already knew the wonderful use of the human-faced demon spider torso bone he held in his hand, but without his teacher's permission, he really dared not absorb the soul bone indiscriminately.

"Little San, don't hesitate. Teacher Zhao is right. Soul bones are of paramount importance to soul masters. To put it another way, if two soul masters are equal in all aspects, the one with a soul bone will definitely have the advantage. The sooner the better, so you should absorb this soul bone as soon as possible to avoid attracting unwanted attention."

At this point, Dai Mubai secretly gave Xia Liang, who was standing to the side, a wink.

Tang San glanced at Xia Liang and immediately understood. Yes. This person knows so much about soul bones, so he must know how precious they are.

Even Teacher Zhao initially harbored malicious intentions towards the human-faced demon spider's torso bone, yet Xia Liang remained unmoved. This unusual behavior was likely an act.

There must be ulterior motives behind this disguise. Although this person has helped me before, will he still abide by humanity under the temptation of the soul bone?

"Brother, everyone's right," Xiao Wu ran to Tang San's side and urged. "Obtaining this soul bone is your destiny. Don't hesitate, absorb it quickly."
