Chapter 188 The Effects of the Soul Bone, Tang Hao's Whereabouts Revealed

As soon as Han Li finished speaking, the entire basin fell silent.

This time, even Xiuer's gaze towards him seemed a little off.

Han Li had just reached level 69 not long ago, which is only a little over a month ago.

Not only did he obtain an unprecedented seventh-ring million-year soul ring, but he also leveled up 8 times in one go. His soul ring and soul bone also improved by more than one level. Yet, he still tried to play the victim in front of the others, which was really a bit excessive.

This time, even Xiuer found it hard to accept that it was Han Li.

Just as the group was rubbing their hands together, ready to give Han Li a good beating, a voice suddenly rang out behind them: "I heard someone calling me, is something wrong?"

Turning their heads in the direction of the sound, they saw a snow-white dragon-like spirit beast with flapping wings flying towards them.

"Are you Tianmeng?"

Guangling raised an eyebrow and looked at the soul beast that had changed drastically.

"Hmm, I am now Ice Dragon Tianmeng."

The ice dragon, almost the size of an adult, puffed out its chest and boasted.

"Alright, I know. Nobody woke you up. Now that you're awake, go build your nest."

Guangling glanced at Tianmeng, who was now exuding the aura of a thousand-year-old soul beast, and rudely drove her away.

No matter how much effort Tianmeng had put in, it was a soul beast. A transaction is a transaction, and one's stance is one stance; these two cannot be confused.

If it weren't for his own disciple's sake, he wouldn't mind killing this guy on the side. He hadn't forgotten that Tianmeng had previously encouraged them to use the power of the Spirit Hall to fight against the ferocious beasts in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.

With such a precedent, not only soul beasts, but even human soul masters cannot be accepted by him.

"Go ahead, and remember to build it big, otherwise, given your current growth rate, the stone chamber won't be big enough for you. You'll be the guardian of this place from now on, and my promise still stands."

Han Li smiled and nodded gently at Tian Meng, but his attitude was clear.

Since Guangling had already said so, Han Li naturally wouldn't refuse him. There was no need to choose between his master and Tianmeng.

Tianmeng was the biggest contributor to his success this time. It was a deal, and he couldn't go back on his word. He would also do his best to fulfill his promise. But after all, there are differences in relationships, so he had no choice but to make Tianmeng suffer.

Tianmeng blinked, looked at Guangling, nodded, and flew to the side.

"At least it helped Xiao Li a little, so tone down your temper."

After Tianmeng walked away, Dugu Bo looked at Guangling. He was a loosely appointed Martial Soul Hall retainer, so he didn't care much.

"You know nothing! Do you know how many manpower the Spirit Hall loses every year dealing with rioting spirit beasts?"

Guangling retorted, successfully sinking Dugu Bo.

"As long as human soul masters still need soul rings, the two sides can never live in peace."

Qingluan added from the side that his temper wasn't as volatile as Guangling's, but he didn't have much affection for Tianmeng either.

Han Li listened to the conversation and shook his head. This was not a problem he could solve right now.

Logically speaking, in the future, the soul beasts on the continent could also be considered his subjects, but he is ultimately human and has a natural stance.

Forget it, I'm overthinking it. I'll save these headaches for later.

Please, future me.

Putting his thoughts aside, and noticing the somewhat subdued atmosphere caused by what had happened, Han Li took the initiative to change the subject.

"Master, Grandpa, do you remember what I told you about the origin of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

"Are you referring to the previous theory that it was the site of the fall of a high-level dragon-type soul beast, or even a suspected god?"

Dugu Bo responded quickly, glancing at Tianmeng who was busy in the distance.

"That's right. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I went down to take a look and indeed found two dragon skeletons. Not only that, I also successfully obtained two soul bones."

As he spoke, Han Li stretched out his arms forward, and red and white light shone forth, revealing two illusory dragons that enveloped him.

"What level of soul bone is this? I feel like even when you activated the Heavenly Dream Soul Bone before, it didn't have this much power."

Feeling the intense dragon's might emanating from above, Dugu Bo unconsciously took a step back and asked in confusion.

"I'm not sure, but it's stronger than Tianmeng's head soul bone."

Han Li was well aware that he was being watched and had not revealed anything about the Ice and Fire Dragon King; he shouldn't know these things.

"So, these two arm bones and Tianmeng's soul bone, like the Blue Silver Emperor's leg bone, all come with additional skills?"

Guangling glanced enviously at Han Li's arm, then suddenly thought of something.

"Yes, they do come with additional skills, but not two, but four."

Han Li nodded slightly, then revealed the information that could cause a heart attack.

"hiss"

The temperature rose considerably in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

"The total number of your soul skills is almost equal to all of ours combined, and you also have quite a few self-created soul skills."

Guang Ling stared at the sky speechlessly. He swore that if Han Li wasn't his own disciple, he would definitely kill this guy.

To paraphrase Han Li's earlier joke, this kid is terrifying and must not be kept alive, otherwise he will surely become a great threat in the future.

"Although there are more skills, many of them are essentially duplicates, so they don't really count as an increase; at most, they've just increased the amplification."

Han Li shook his head. This time the commotion was too great. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he did not have the energy to customize and modify the soul bone skills one by one as before.

However, this was to be expected. There are only so many types of amplification and skill applications, so it's not surprising that there are similar ones.

"The previous spirit ring simulation was one of the new methods. Of course, it can also be used to create illusions and confuse enemies. The detection and attack of mental power have also been greatly enhanced. The biggest gain is actually mental sharing, which makes up for the inadequacy of the one-way communication of the previous tentacles, well, now we should call them dragon horns."

A pair of tiny red and white dragon horns appeared on Han Li's head. Instead of adding to his majesty, they made him look even cuter, as evidenced by the three girls' bright eyes.

His mental power covered the area where the group was located, and he activated mental sharing, synchronizing the effect to their minds.

"How's the encrypted call? Pretty good, right?"

Han Li's voice rang in their minds at the same time, and the scene of the entire basin was reflected in detail.

"Just this skill alone is definitely worth it. If I had such a skill, I would be confident that I could defeat you, Master Golden Crocodile."

Guangling spoke first, sounding very confident.

Han Li's mental sharing is different from Huo Yuhao's because, due to the initial connection of his soul bones, his mental sharing is not just a simple detection sharing.

His shared spiritual power also revealed the enemy's soul power flow path, as well as the attack prediction path brought by powerful spiritual power, and even a certain elemental vision.

Just like a sophisticated computer, it tells you how to deal with it. In this situation, as long as you're not completely stupid, fighting against a higher level is a basic operation.

The group is currently sharing a mental connection, and their hypothetical enemy is Tianmeng, who is moving bricks in the distance.

Poor Tianmeng is still diligently building its nest, while it has become an experimental subject for the group.

"Now we can return to Wuhun City with peace of mind."

Guangling glanced at Han Li, then casually glanced at Dugu Bo, and said with a smile.

He was quite certain that Dugu Bo was no longer a match for his disciple.

"Um?"

Han Li's mental sharing ability was still active, and Dugu Bo felt insulted. Although he himself felt that he was likely to lose to Han Li, wasn't Guang Ling's behavior a bit too obvious?

"I'm sorry, I apologize, I didn't mean anything by it."

Guang Ling overlooked this and gave an embarrassed smile. He habitually provoked Dugu Bo and forgot that the mental sharing was still active, making him lose face in front of the younger generation.

Dugu Bo glared at him, thus turning the page on the matter.

He had long understood Guangling's personality and knew that he didn't really have any ill intentions; it was just his way of expressing closeness.

"Where's the arm bone?"

Qingluan took the initiative to change the subject.

"In fact, the biggest improvement that my arm bones have brought me is physical enhancement."

Speaking of this, Han Li was both amused and exasperated.

His mastery of ice and fire elements was already maxed out, greatly enhancing others, but for him, it seemed somewhat useless.

"Of course, they also come with two powerful attack skills, one for single targets and one for multiple targets."

"There are other enhancements as well. They reduced my consumption of ice and fire elements by 50%, and the power was increased by three times. At the same time, their own domains also enhanced the power of the Yin-Yang Domain. I haven't tested them yet, but I expect it to be at least doubled."

"In the future, Soul Masters with ice and fire-type Martial Souls will be lucky to unleash 50% of their strength in front of me."

Han Li was quite satisfied with this; his enhancement could be called a nightmare for ice and fire attribute soul masters.

Guang Ling, who was standing to the side, felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. In the end, his face darkened. He felt that Han Li's disciple's skills were more than ten times more effective against him than Dugu Bo's.

"Hehe, it's better to be stronger, the stronger the better. Maybe if we really have to fight, someone is no match for his own disciple."

Unlike Guangling, Dugu Bo's eyes grew brighter as he listened, and he couldn't help but laugh at the end.

You like to use me as a comparison of combat strength, don't you?

Now, keep laughing! Why aren't you laughing anymore?

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Han Li quickly stopped sharing his mental energy and activated his forced interruption skill.

"By the way, when I broke through before, I didn't attract much attention, did I?"

"It triggered a small beast tide, but fortunately there haven't been many Soul Masters coming here recently, so it wasn't a big deal."

"A black-robed man who appeared to be a high-level Soul Master appeared on the outskirts, but after I released my aura, I scared him away from a distance. However, it cannot be ruled out that he will come back to investigate the area later."

The answer to this question is Qingluan. Since Guangling and Dugu Bo both have a certain degree of fame, he was responsible for the outer perimeter security this time. He also disguised himself to a certain extent, so his identity was not exposed.

"It can be confirmed that it is not a title from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He seems to have some serious injuries."

Qingluan thought for a moment and then added.

"Is that so? That's interesting."

Han Li and Guang Ling exchanged a glance and smiled in unison.

They could roughly guess who it was. Given the time, location, and Qingluan's intelligence, it was highly likely to be Tang Hao.
