Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San to fight Gangzi

Chapter 18 The Superb First Soul Skill, External Soul Bone

The next morning, we returned to Holy Soul Village.

Xiao Lin has already understood his soul skill.

Just then, Xiao Lin saw Tang San practicing the Xuan Tian Gong in the distance. After thanking Tang Hao, Xiao Lin hurriedly rushed towards Tang San.

"The other woman!"

Xiao Lin shouted, startling Tang San, who was focused on his cultivation.

"Brother Lin! You're back."

Although Tang San was startled, he still smiled when he saw the person in front of him.

Looking at Xiao Lin, who was smiling brightly, Tang San knew at a glance that Xiao Lin had obtained an excellent skill.

"Brother Lin, you're so fast!"

Tang San looked at Xiao Lin, who had a smug look on his face, and couldn't help but scratch his head and say something.

"Hehe, after I obtained my first soul skill and my physical attributes were enhanced, I asked Uncle Hao to carry me back directly."

"You have no idea how strong Uncle Hao is, how fast he is. I almost suffocated."

Xiao Lin chuckled. He had made Tang Hao do this so he could show off in front of Tang San and had rushed back specifically to do so.

"By the way, we'll be able to eat beef from now on."

"The Mighty Vajra Bull with eight hundred years of cultivation has enough meat for us to eat for two months. Once you go to Notting Academy, you won't be malnourished like you are now."

Looking at Tang San's rosy complexion, Xiao Lin shook his head and said.

Not strong enough.

How can someone who wields the Haotian Hammer be malnourished?

"it is good."

Tang San smiled slightly, also showing great interest in the beef.

The three-eyed salamanders I ate last time weren't very good, except for the tail, which was exceptionally delicious.

But the three-eyed salamander only has a few tails, and it finished them off quickly.

"By the way, Brother Lin, what's your first soul skill?"

Tang San was quite curious. Ever since Xiao Lin mentioned that soul skills might be derived from a soul master's own understanding, and that it was even possible to acquire multiple soul skills, Tang San had become very interested in this.

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing Tang San's question, Xiao Lin's lips curled into a smug smile.

That's exactly the question I've been waiting for.

"My soul skill is called 'All or Nothing,' and it's an attack-boosting soul skill. Guess how much my first soul skill increases my attack power?"

Xiao Lin almost pressed his face against Tang San's; he loved seeing Tang San's bewildered and curious expression.

It would be really interesting if, after he had rejected Tang San's theory, he then revealed a value that Tang San couldn't have imagined, thus shocking Tang San.

"A desperate gamble?"

"Such a powerful name?"

Tang San was completely dumbfounded. He stepped back to avoid Xiao Lin's gaze, but finally gave his own guess.

"Your spirit ring came from the Mighty Vajra Bull, so it should increase your strength, but you also said it increased your attack. I guess your attack was enhanced by 300%."

Tang San made a very bold guess, not because he could deduce the relationship between martial soul and soul ring and thus calculate the value, but because he knew that Xiao Lin's proud words were definitely not ordinary soul skills.

You won't be satisfied until you've given yourself a good scare.

"It's too small; it limits your perspective!"

Xiao Lin's lips curled into a smirk, which immediately gave Tang San a great shock.

"My attack power has been increased by 400%, and not only that, I feel like my strength has more than doubled. The hardness of the Dragon Staff has also been increased by 50%."

Xiao Lin looked up at the sky and said arrogantly, "What if I activated the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art? Guess how much my attack power would increase?"

"At least 800%, the hardness of the Dragon Staff will also be increased by 100%."

After Xiao Lin finished asking and answering his own questions, Tang San, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"How many?"

Tang San blurted out the question.

No, you're cheating!

Tang San originally thought that with his twin martial souls, he wouldn't be shocked by Xiao Lin's soul skills no matter what.

However, what happened today left Tang San completely dumbfounded.

"800%, so when you reach the Soul Saint level, won't that become 1600%?"

Tang San had begun to doubt some of the basic martial soul knowledge that Xiao Lin had told him.

No, isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only 80% complete?

"This is my innate talent as a spirit body, which means I have two chances to transform. I am the protagonist of destiny."

"What kind of protagonist can't transform twice?!"

Xiao Lin's nose was practically pointing skyward.

"Wait a minute, Brother Lin, while your soul skill is indeed overpowered, I can accept it because of its name, 'All or Nothing.' But what's with the doubling of your power? Why doesn't it double when you use the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art?"

Tang San was, after all, a martial arts prodigy. As soon as he heard about the change in Xiao Lin's soul skill, he realized something was wrong.

"Yeah, that doesn't make sense!"

Xiao Lin lowered his head and touched his chin.

"The reason I chose the Mighty Bull as my first martial soul was because of my conjecture. I wanted to increase my strength and toughness as much as possible while ensuring an increase in attack power."

"The attack amplification is fine, and the toughness amplification is the same, but why is the strength amplification different?"

"Could it be that eight hundred years of soul power is too little to grant more abilities?"

Xiao Lin plopped down on the ground and began to think.

The reason for choosing the Mighty Vajra Bull is for the strongest attack. Although the Mighty Vajra Bull is a herbivorous soul beast, it lacks ferocity and agility. However, I have a weapon-type soul beast, so I did not consider carnivorous soul beasts like the Vajra Tiger.

Because these carnivorous spirit beasts are not as strong as the Mighty Vajra Bull.

In fact, it proved that I made the right choice. The Mighty Vajra Bull gave me a 400% attack boost and a 50% hardness boost.

But what is this power all about?

Even my innate spirit body can't amplify my power, which means this isn't a power granted by a soul skill.

Could it be the foundational power that the Dragon Staff gave me?

Xiao Lin suddenly looked up, just as he was about to ask Tang San if it was possible.

Suddenly, Tang San exclaimed, causing Xiao Lin to subconsciously touch his forehead.

"Brother Lin, you have two horns growing on your forehead."

Tang San's words made Xiao Lin realize the truth instantly.

Could it be an external soul bone?

A soul bone second only to a 100,000-year-old soul bone?

Xiao Lin touched his forehead, and sure enough, he soon felt two hard little horns.

It was about the size of Xiao Lin's thumbnail, and it was slightly curved, like a crescent moon.

"Brother Lin, these look a bit like a pair of little bull horns!"

"Little cow horns?"

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Lin's heart stirred, and he became even more certain about the matter of the external soul bone.

"I see. So it's what added to my power. Was it so small that Uncle Hao didn't see it?"

Xiao Lin touched the two small bull horns on his head, then injected his soul power into the horns and used his mind to control them, retracting them.

Soon, Xiao Lin's forehead was smooth and clean again.

"Brother Lin, what's this?"

Tang San was very curious: how could this little bull horn double his strength?

"Little San, this is an external soul bone. It's the most top-tier soul bone besides the 100,000-year soul bone, and it will become stronger as I grow."

Xiao Lin naturally didn't hide anything and told Tang San everything.

"By the way, you absolutely must not tell anyone about my external soul bone."

Xiao Lin still gave him a final warning.

Although it seems that no one in the original story tried to steal Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, Xiao Lin had never heard of anyone stealing external soul bones.

But even if it can't be taken away, if someone gets greedy and thinks it can be taken, then Xiao Lin's safety will be in jeopardy.
