Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 121 The Inherited Soul Bone of an Ancient Sect

A short while later, Yun Yibai sat on the sofa, and Dugu Yan leaned against him, holding his left hand with both hands, her face slightly flushed.

Yun Yibai held the storage soul guide ring in his right hand.

"Let me see what kind of amazing things this ancient sect's ruins have left behind!"

Yun Yibai probed into the soul power, and the next moment,

An object wrapped in a beautiful piece of silk appeared in Yun Yibai's hand.

Yun Yibai slowly lifted the exquisite silk cloth, revealing the item wrapped inside: a black iron box!

He thought to himself, "Could this be a sect's inherited soul bone?"

This inexplicable sense of familiarity made him feel uneasy. A box, a sealed box... For a sect to protect it like this, it must either be a herb that can improve cultivation, or it could very well be a inherited soul bone.

However, sometimes reality is just that strange. What you think about most often comes to pass.

Under the watchful eye of Dugu Yan, Yun Yibai opened the ancient iron box.

A powerful aura swept over them, the energy bursting forth and blowing their hair aside. Perhaps it had been dormant for a long time, but the sudden burst of power quickly subsided.

Then Yun Yibai and Dugu Yan turned their attention back to the iron box, where a soul bone emitting a faint light was lying.

This soul bone was pale gold, as if polished by time to a warm, jade-like finish. Mysterious patterns flowed across its surface, exuding an ancient and powerful aura. Yun Yibai's gaze was solemn. Even with the passage of time, he could still feel the immense power contained within this soul bone.

"It's actually a soul bone!" Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't expected their luck to be so good; this previously somewhat strange storage soul tool actually contained such a treasure!

"As expected of the black market located next to Tianjian Mountain on the border between the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, they actually found a soul bone there," Dugu Yan exclaimed.

"Damn luck!" Yun Yibai said, but the smile on his face didn't diminish at all.

Dugu Yan looked at Yun Yibai's face, which couldn't hide his smile, and said, "You're really getting a good deal and then acting innocent!"

"However, your luck is a bit too good; this is yet another head soul bone."

"By the way, is there any record of this soul bone inside this ring?" Dugu Yan asked after her initial shock. Yun Yibai shook his head.

"Then we'll only know the answer after absorbing this soul bone."

"It's a bit of a pity, though, that this soul bone is actually a head soul bone." If they used to value head soul bones highly, Dugu Yan no longer does.

With three head spirit bones in succession, although there is still one head spirit bone that the Spirit Hall has not yet brought out, Dugu Yan is confident that the spirit bone is already in their hands.

In fact, what Dugu Yan didn't know was that Yun Yibai actually possessed another ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone. Including the head soul bone fragments Yun Yibai had already absorbed, if calculated by faction, after Martial Academy wins the tournament, the Martial Academy faction will have nearly four head soul bones.

In fact, Dugu Yan thought that if this soul bone wasn't a head soul bone, then Yun Yibai could absorb it.

Of the three soul bones originally awarded to the champion, only the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull was most suitable for Yun Yibai. The remaining two bones, the Exploding Flame Right Arm Bone and the Extreme Speed ​​Chasing Wind Left Leg Bone, were completely unsuitable for Yun Yibai in terms of attributes.

Yun Yibai didn't say anything; his gaze was fixed on the piece of silk that had previously wrapped the iron box. He felt that anything placed alongside the iron box containing the soul bones must not be a simple piece of silk.

Yun Yibai closed the box and put the iron box containing the soul bone back into his storage soul guide ring, while keeping the piece of silk cloth.

"Could there be some secret hidden in this exquisite piece of silk?" Dugu Yan stared at the silk as well.

"Even in a storage soul tool, ordinary cloth cannot withstand the wear and tear of time, but this piece of silk cloth can be preserved for such a long time as that iron box, so it must be extraordinary."

"Perhaps we can try using soul power." As he spoke, Yun Yibai infused the silk cloth in his hand with soul power.

"It worked!" Dugu Yan's face lit up with joy, because she saw words on the silk cloth.

Yun Yibai concentrated his mind and continued to slowly infuse more soul power into the silk cloth. As the soul power seeped in, the characters on the silk cloth gradually became clearer.

"It seems we're lucky; this piece of silk does indeed contain some important information," Yun Yibai said, his gaze fixed on the words that gradually appeared on the silk.

Dugu Yan took a closer look and saw that the silk cloth recorded a history of an ancient sect as well as the origin and characteristics of that soul bone.

"In the year 2323 of the Angel Calendar, my Golden Sword Sect was suddenly attacked by a tide of soul beasts."

"My grandfather, the strongest Soul Douluo of the Golden Sword Sect, is dead, and my father also died tragically at the hands of Soul Beasts. These heartless Soul Beasts actually sent out a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast."

"Our sect disciples became food for the spirit beasts, and we ultimately couldn't hold out until the Spirit Hall came to our rescue."

"I was also seriously injured in this battle. If it weren't for my grandfather and father, both Soul Douluos, protecting me, I probably would have died before them."

"I can no longer stop the continued loss of my life force; death is my inevitable end."

"For the destined one, the treasure within this ring is the heirloom of my Golden Sword Sect—a head soul bone that is forty thousand years old. It is the inherited soul bone of my Golden Sword Sect, and it comes from a forty-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Void Shadow Golden Roc!"

"The soul bone comes with the skill of spatial teleportation, which is a very effective skill in battle. This soul bone is extremely useful for us sword-wielding soul masters."

"Its former owner was my grandfather, who was also an 86th-level power-attack type Soul Douluo. However, the opponent was a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, and my grandfather did it to save me."

"This is a disaster, but we will never regret it so that humanity can completely get rid of the tragedy of being devoured by soul beasts."

"Those who come after me, I hope that after receiving the gifts from my Golden Sword Sect, you will do your best for the survival of the human race."

The words on the silk cloth weren't many, but they revealed information about the soul bone and its abilities.

Dugu Yan: "They're still using the Angel Calendar, so how long ago was that?!"

"However, this soul bone is actually 40,000 years old, and it's also a space-type soul skill."

Yun Yibai also put away the piece of silk. This soul bone had been stored for so long that the energy inside was no longer much, and its ability to improve soul power was negligible. Therefore, he had already made a choice about who would own this soul bone.
