Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 55 External Soul Bone?

"Is he really dead?"

The soul beast, its front and back halves split in two, had ceased all movement.

Fang Ling's eyes held a hint of scrutiny.

Weakness detection worked at full capacity, but no further fluctuations of soul power were detected on the one-eyed giant horned antelope.

Later on, the blood stopped flowing and began to gradually dry up.

Fang Ling poked at it with his scythe until the purple soul ring appeared, only then did he feel relieved.

He didn't intend to stay here any longer.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"But he's already dead, so what could be wrong with him?"

"Could it be a soul bone?"

Fang Ling's heart skipped a beat at the thought of this incredible possibility.

He subconsciously used his cursed blade to cut the stuck one-eyed giant antelope in half and hook it out.

Ignoring the dripping blood, Fang Ling took out the exquisite dagger he had obtained from the old beggar in Notting City and quickly and precisely dissected its body.

There was no crystal-clear energy condensed from it, and the giant horn on its head and the single eye were not without any special luster.

But these are not the main points.

Fang Ling's gaze was fixed on the antelope's right foreleg.

He couldn't be mistaken about the surging soul power, the shimmering color, and the warm, smooth texture in his hand.

This is a soul bone, a treasure second only to a 100,000-year soul ring, an external soul bone that can rapidly evolve as a person grows!

Right foot bone of a one-eyed giant horned antelope!

The right foreleg has one, but what about the left foreleg?

Fang Ling stared at the left hoof, which was just an ordinary hoof with nothing on it.

One right foreleg...

Although it wasn't an external soul bone produced by that powerful and unique horn, it was still a pleasant surprise for Fang Ling.

This is the first thousand-year-old soul beast he has killed despite being a higher-level Soul Master!

It actually produced a piece of external soul bone.

God helps those who help themselves; he truly is the chosen one.

Fang Ling was overjoyed and quickly put away the soul bone and left the place.

Blood was flowing everywhere, which could easily attract other spirit beasts.

You need to find a good place to absorb soul bones.

So run first, and we'll talk about it later!

……

At night, Fang Ling hid in the canopy of a giant tree.

This place is lush and verdant, with no birds, spiders, or snakes to hide in, making it a perfect spot for absorbing soul bones.

He took out the right foreleg of the light black, one-eyed giant antelope and examined it briefly by the moonlight.

It is entirely light black and has an unremarkable appearance.

But the flowing soul power luster vividly told Fang Ling that it was an external soul bone.

"Right foot bone~"

Fang Ling's eyes were filled with a hint of infatuation as he moved his right foot slightly.

The prosthetic leg on the left foot also moved slightly.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he twitched the corner of his mouth.

Why do you only have one right leg? Are you mocking me for being a cripple?

He made a self-deprecating remark, but also felt incredibly lucky.

Fortunately, it was the right foot; if it had been the left foot, it would have had to be left for now and absorbed later.

Who told him to be missing something, and it just so happened that it was broken off in the lower half of his left leg?

Fang Ling did not immediately begin absorbing the soul bone, but first inspected the snake repellent powder and insect repellent powder that had been placed around him.

Then he returned to the center of the tree and sat down.

Taking a deep breath and sensing that he was in excellent condition, he pressed the soul bone tightly against his right foot and began to absorb it directly by channeling his soul power.

As soul power slowly flowed into the right foot bone, the black light on it suddenly intensified.

Almost instantly, it turned into liquid and seeped in.

Then a thin layer of black light emanated from his feet, enveloping Fang Ling's body.

It's just a thousand-year-old soul bone, so the fluctuations of its soul power are still relatively limited, and the light is very faint.

It was black again, perfectly blocked by the dense, thick canopy of trees.

Enveloped in black light, Fang Ling first felt a slightly intense surge of soul power flowing into his right foot. Like stepping into warm water, the warm soul power completely enveloped his entire right ankle and foot.

It started mildly, then grew increasingly intense.

The warm water gradually boiled and became bubbly.

The explosive soul power began to seep into all parts of Fang Ling's right foot, instantly turning it scalding hot.

That strange heat was something he had never experienced before.

A surge of heat emanated from Fang Ling's right foot, and he could feel his body being strengthened, with fine beads of sweat appearing on his skin.

The soul power within the body was circulating at high speed, striving to integrate into the fusion of the soul bone.

His entire right foot had turned a light black color, and something seemed about to emerge from it.

The intense burning sensation felt like being roasted over a fire.

His body began to tremble slightly, and the black light on his right foot became more and more prominent, as if it contained an extremely unwilling spirit.

It's just a thousand-year-old external soul bone, not a super soul beast like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, so how could it be so difficult to absorb?

Fang Ling didn't believe it!

He gritted his teeth and persevered.

I could almost feel my bones starting to crack, and then the power of the soul bone finally began to seep into them.

That unwilling spirit still stirred within him, and Fang Ling fought against it with all his might.

The will seemed to transform into a scythe, waging war against it, determined to sever it!

Not much time had passed.

"Hiss~ Whoosh~"

The long, drawn-out breathing was muffled by the dense foliage.

The stubborn will to accept defeat was subdued, and the soul bone was finally successfully absorbed!

Fang Ling loosened his grip on his martial spirit, which was already sweaty, and felt his right foot grow slightly larger.

The surrounding muscles are firmer and the meridians are more resilient.

The pain of absorbing the soul bone was nothing compared to the fact that he now felt his right foot contained almost boundless power, and his heart swelled with immense excitement.

He wished he could immediately summon his soul bone and kick it out with all his might.

Before he could even call out, a sharp pain, like being pricked by needles, struck him, and Fang Ling couldn't help but let out a low growl.

A thick layer of light black keratin instantly emerged, enveloping his entire sole and toes.

A powerful layer of soul energy passively emanated from it.

The expensive shoe, which cost one gold soul coin, was the first to suffer severe damage, bulging slightly before exploding directly in the face of this force.

He almost couldn't control himself and kicked.

However, he was restrained in the end; he neither kicked nor stomped on it.

Fang Ling cleanly and decisively cut off the supply of soul power.

It's understandable that someone would want to release their obtained soul bone after being cooped up in a dangerous place like the Star Dou Great Forest late at night.

But it's still better to be cautious.

After absorbing the soul bone, he did not rest immediately, but began to organize the information.

My gaze was focused on the panel in front of me, where several key changes had occurred.

First, the soul power has changed after absorbing the soul ring: 20 (0%) → 21 (15%)

Absorbing the spirit ring of the seven-hundred-year-old Spiked Blood Dragonfly, he leveled up by more than one level, which is a very normal improvement in the world of spirit masters.

The number of points required for upgrading has changed with the advancement of the Soul Master's rank, and has now reached four points.

All points were naturally allocated to the Martial Soul; killing the Thousand-Year Soul Beast yielded four points.

The Martial Soul is currently only missing four points.

There's no need to rush about the two soul beasts.

The most important things are the Soul Bone and the Specialization.

Let's talk about the soul bone first.

Soul bone: Right foot bone of a one-eyed giant antelope from 1763 (+)

There is also a plus sign, but because it has no dots, it is a dull gray.

Let's talk about expertise.

After absorbing the soul bone, a new specialization was added!
