Chapter 58 The Enhancement of External Soul Bones and Overall Strength

Seeing that Dugu Bo obediently shut his mouth, Guang Ling smiled again.

This face-changing skill made Dugu Bo inwardly scoff, thinking to himself: Let you be happy for now. Once Yanyan and this kid get together, even if you are stronger and older than me, in terms of seniority, I will still be your uncle.

Han Li secretly noticed the expressions of the two of them and couldn't help but smile. The way these two got along was quite interesting.

Perhaps due to the significant changes in Han Li's external soul bone, which appeared to be more like changes resulting from the activation of his head soul bone, Dugu Bo, who was scrutinizing him, made a misjudgment. After examining him for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of soul beast's skull is this? It's really peculiar; I've never seen anything like it before."

Upon hearing his words, Guang Ling's lips curled up slightly, and she glanced at him disdainfully. Sure enough, this wild Title Douluo was ignorant and didn't even know about external soul bones.

(Note: This is a misjudgment, a misjudgment. Dugu Bo knew this, but it was exaggerated a bit here.)

As Dugu Bo prepared to turn to look at Guang Ling, another verbal battle was about to begin.

Han Li quickly spoke up to attract his attention: "Senior, these are not head soul bones, but two external soul bones. They weren't like this before, but this time the martial soul evolved, which caused them to upgrade as well. They have just reached 15,000 years old so far."

Dugu Bo gasped, looking at Han Li's antennae and right eye with envy, unsure of what to say.

So, just two pieces, just now, fifteen thousand years ago, he's so jealous.

After a while, he turned to look at Guangling.

"Your Spirit Hall is really generous; these are two external spirit bones! You're quite willing to spend that much as their master. However, Han Li's talent certainly warrants this."

Hearing his praise, Guang Ling felt a surge of secret pleasure, but still pretended to be calm and said, "Don't misunderstand. Although the Spirit Hall is indeed not short of resources, and I, as his master, love him very much, we also don't have any extra spirit bones. We're just being extravagant by giving them to a child. These two external spirit bones were obtained by Xiao Li by accident when he was acquiring spirit rings."

Dugu Bo was taken aback by Guang Ling's words; this was an answer he hadn't expected.

Then he gave the proud Guangling a strange look. If it wasn't provided by the Spirit Hall, then what are you pretending for? Anyone would think it was a spirit bone you dropped.

However, considering Guangling's current temperament, he wasn't foolish enough to say it directly.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and his eyes widened as he looked at Han Li: "You were only level 23 before, so does that mean you got an external soul bone every time you acquired a soul ring the first two times?"

Han Li nodded calmly, which was taken as an admission.

"You're really lucky, kid. I've lived my whole life, and only today have I seen so-called external soul bones on you, and I even saw two of them at once." Dugu Bo circled around Han Li twice, observing him for a while, before reluctantly turning his gaze away.

Want some? I know where you can find more. Just go to the Star Dou Great Forest right now and slaughter all the human-faced demon spiders that are less than three thousand years old. You might actually find one.

Han Li glanced at his gaze and made a sarcastic remark in his mind, but didn't say it aloud. If he did, he would truly be seen as a monster.

He intended to intercept the Eight Spider Lances, but sacrificing a spirit ring for it was too much of a loss; he planned to keep them for his own core team.

And to be honest, he didn't really like spider legs and poison. Although he was determined to be the sixth brother, he hoped to make a grand entrance and crush everyone else.

As for poison, his martial soul already possesses both fire and ice poison. As for spider legs, they're acceptable on a pretty girl, but his back is reserved for wings, whether real or fake.

He glanced at Dugu Bo without making a sound. The Eight Spider Spears were originally intended to win Dugu Bo over. Now that the plan had gone wrong, but since he wanted to get along with Dugu Yan in the future, giving them to her was not out of the question.

After all, external soul bones need to grow along with their master, and if given to a Title Douluo, their growth potential is too low. This is why he didn't invite his master to obtain the Eight Spider Lances in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Alright, ignore him for now, tell me the specific changes."

Guangling grabbed Dugu Bo, who was dangling in front of her, and looked at Han Li.

"The changes in abilities are not significant; they are basically enhancements on the original basis. As for the tentacles, they are still bound to the first soul skill. In addition to the significant improvement in the original function, affinity has been further improved to control, 100% control. Soul power is fine, but the consumption of mental power has increased considerably."

"Furthermore, the perception of temperature has become more acute, making it easier to detect disguised enemies. Of course, when releasing mental attacks through the tentacles, the amplification has become 2.5 times, and different elemental powers can be selectively added to cause others to become enraged or slow down their thinking."

"As for Hawkeye, with its basic abilities greatly increased, it also gained a similar ability. However, unlike the temperature feedback of its tentacles, its ability is more like X-ray vision, allowing it to see through the enemy's soul power flow. But it consumes a lot of soul power. According to my rough estimate, I can't even use it for more than three minutes before my soul power is exhausted."

"The original vulnerability associated with Hawkeye has been slightly modified. It can now be used to either ignite or freeze an enemy while marking them. It also halves the effect of healing soul skills while the mark is active, and the damage of the next attack after marking is increased by 50%."

After Han Li finished speaking, he ignored their reactions, retrieved all the external soul bones back into his body, sat back down, and began eating the food that had already been cooked.

After a long while, the two sat down silently, eating without saying a word.

The three of them stopped eating after consuming nearly two days' worth of food, and leaned back in their chairs with satisfaction. Guangling and Dugu Bo, having had some time to process, finally accepted Han Li's perversion.

A Soul Master who has just reached level 30 has physical strength and defense comparable to a regular level 60 Soul Emperor (maybe slightly weaker), and the solidity and destructive power of his soul power are equivalent to a level 50 Soul King. His mental strength was also slightly revealed in the previous words.

Under normal circumstances, Han Li's mental strength is not much different from that of a normal Soul King, but with his Soul Bone and elemental enhancement, he can even injure a Soul Saint. Of course, this will also cause his mental strength to be temporarily depleted, which is very dangerous, and he only has the power for one strike.

In summary, disregarding sustained output capabilities, considering his short-term bursts of power, it's perfectly reasonable to regard Han Li as a Soul Emperor, and even a rather strong one at that, especially considering he's not even eight years old yet.

"By the way, Xiao Li, after your mental strength and elemental control were improved this time, did your control over arrows become stronger?" Guang Ling suddenly remembered something.

Han Li paused for a moment when he heard his master's question before answering, "It has indeed improved. I can now completely control elemental arrows."

Then, he scratched his head sheepishly and continued, "But Master, have you forgotten that my soul power is now inherently corrosive? Even if I can completely control it, the moment the arrow pierces my body, those above the Soul King level can still resist to some extent, but those below the Soul King level will inevitably be harmed. They are simply too weak."

"So, you still can't spar?" Guangling asked, somewhat exasperated.

"Oh, no, I can control the arrows to explode prematurely. Even using only the impact force generated by the energy, most Soul Masters shouldn't be a match for me. Hmm, I should be able to win even if I just stand still and throw fireballs and ice spikes." After thinking for a moment, Han Li gave a rather conservative estimate.

Dugu Bo's lips twitched as he listened, but he couldn't refute it. He had also participated in the previous test, and Han Li certainly had the ability to say that.

"That's good. When the opportunity arises, you can help me beat up a few people."

Guang Ling's lips curled slightly as he recalled his plan when he took Han Li as his disciple. At that time, Bibi Dong used the excuse of causing a scene at the Hall of Worship, and he still wanted to settle that score.

Since the Pope isn't suitable for the time being, let's try to find a replacement through her disciple. Hopefully, she can withstand Han Li's firepower.

"Yes, Master."

Han Li replied helplessly. He knew exactly what Guang Ling was thinking. Ever since he obtained his first soul ring, Guang Ling had been very concerned about this issue, and now he had finally gotten his wish.

Hopefully, things won't escalate too much; he needs to make some preparations in advance.

"The Golden Generation? For the sake of our master, I have no choice but to make things difficult for you all," Han Li thought silently to himself.
