Douluo Dalu: The Holy Evil Emperor

Guiding out the energy of the soul ring is undoubtedly a huge waste.

Only by completely absorbing the soul power in the soul ring can one obtain the most powerful soul skills.

Moon's gaze stayed on Ye Qing for a long time before he turned his head and looked at the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

This corpse naturally has huge value. It is a rare and precious food ingredient. But in addition to being used as an ingredient, there is another more important thing.

Soul bone.

Chapter 38 Soul Bone, Soul Lord

As one of the soul beasts with the top bloodline among soul beasts, even if it is only a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the probability of producing soul bones is higher than that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

A 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is basically certain to produce soul bones, just like a 100,000-year-old soul beast, unless the luck is so bad that it can't even get lucky when it goes out.

Otherwise, the ten thousand year old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would have definitely produced soul bones.

As a top-level soul beast, the soul bones it produces are also the best of the best.

Moon was looking forward to what kind of soul bone this dark gold terror claw bear would produce? Would it be able to bring greater help to Ye Qing?

When Moon checked and found that the remaining soul power fluctuations in its body were gathered on its right arm, Moon's expression became a little excited. The most powerful part of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is its pair of sharp claws.

As long as the soul bones appear in the arms, the soul skills attached to the soul bones must be powerful offensive soul skills, and it is even more likely that external soul bones will appear...

Dark gold terror claw!

The feeling of opening a blind box made even Moon, a 200-year-old man, feel a sense of anticipation.

He didn't make any movement, but just slashed lightly in the air with his palm like a knife, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right arm was severed at the shoulder. Not even blood came out of the wound.

He waved his hand again and released several soul powers to cover the right arm of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. A complete right arm bone was torn from the flesh and blood of its broken arm and slowly floated out.

The right arm bone, but without the palm.

"It's just the right arm..." Moon was a little disappointed.

Although the right arm soul bone is equally precious, its value is greatly reduced compared to the external right claw soul bone. Even though he knows that the probability of producing external soul bones is lower than that of soul beasts, Moon always has some expectations.

Now that expectations have been dashed, it is normal to feel disappointed.

"Xiao Yeqing already has a right arm bone, so this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right arm bone... let Beibei absorb it." After thinking for a while, Moon put it in a box and put it away.

It’s not that Moon was so biased that he left the things that Ye Qing couldn’t use to Bei Bei, but this soul bone was originally dropped by Ye Qing when he was hunting souls. The soul rings and soul bones produced by the same soul beast can only achieve the greatest effect if they are absorbed by a soul master together.

But considering that Ye Qing already has a right arm bone, and this soul bone is indeed of top quality, Moon has to leave something good for his great-grandson.

Because Moon took Ye Qing to hunt souls so quickly, they brought back the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in less than a day. As a result, Bei Bei, who was also preparing to go out hunting souls, had not even set out yet.

At this point, if Beibei could absorb a 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Bone, then his maximum absorption period would at least increase by about 2,000 years, from 4,000 years to 6,000 years.

In this way, when Beibei undergoes a similar training as Ye Qing at the Soul Master stage, he will also be able to absorb a ten thousand year soul ring as his fourth soul ring.

Although he couldn't absorb a 20,000-year-old soul ring as Ye Qing did on his third soul ring, he still had four black rings, two purple and four black. Just looking at the first four soul rings, Beibei's configuration was better than Moon's.

How could Moon really not care about his great-grandson?

In the original novel, it was Beibei who was the one giving in, and Moon had no choice but to let him do what he wanted. Now that Beibei has shown a strong desire to practice, Moon will naturally give him as much support as possible.

Anyway...

This soul bone was also obtained by them through private soul hunting. It is not the property of the academy. Moon can decide how to distribute it, just like the Light Demon-Breaking Soul Bone.

After confirming that Ye Qing's process of absorbing the soul ring had entered a stable period and that no accidents would occur, Moon's figure disappeared quietly. When Bei Bei was about to leave, he stopped him and handed him the soul bone.

……

The sea of ​​spirit.

The seemingly mighty and majestic remnant soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is now enduring Ye Qing's unilateral beating.

In terms of physical strength, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is indeed extremely powerful, but this guy is just like the Golden Dragon King, with only a strong body but almost no brains.

The cerebrum is underdeveloped and the cerebellum is completely underdeveloped.

In this situation, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's mental power and soul were naturally not that strong. Facing Ye Qing's condensed mental power, it was beaten so badly that it didn't know how to fight back.

Every punch Ye Qing threw at it would produce a rain of light from its soul body. More importantly, he discovered that his sea of ​​consciousness would actually actively absorb the rain of light falling from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

With every punch, the residual soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is weakened, and Ye Qing, who has absorbed the rain of light, will have a stronger sea of ​​​​spirituality.

He could clearly feel that his spiritual sea was expanding rapidly.

Even when he was eating rare treasures and training his mental strength in the Fear Dragon's training room, his growth rate was not that fast.

The changes in the sea of ​​spirit made Ye Qing even more excited. He looked at the remaining soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear no longer as if he was looking at an enemy, but as if he was looking at a delicious meal.

No, this is a delicious meal!

It wasn't long before Ye Qing felt that his sea of ​​​​spirituality had expanded by at least one-fifth. If he ate the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear whole, wouldn't his spiritual power skyrocket?

With this idea in mind, Ye Qing swung his fists and chased after the remaining soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and hammered it violently, making it scream. Finally, it exploded into pure soul power with a bang, which was completely absorbed by Ye Qing.

And just as Ye Qing expected, after the residual soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was completely devoured by him, his sea of ​​​​consciousness expanded by at least 50% from its original basis.

“No wonder a soul master’s strength improves by leaps and bounds with each additional ten thousand year soul ring. Soul shock actually has such benefits.” Ye Qing looked at his sea of ​​​​spirituality with a happy expression.

But in fact, the soul vibrations of other soul masters have no such effect at all. They can only passively endure the attacks of the soul beast's residual soul until the power of the soul beast's residual soul is exhausted.

The power that enables him to devour residual souls is exactly the same as the powerful devouring ability of a certain evil god tiger.

The end of the soul shock also meant that Ye Qing had completely passed all the tests of absorbing the ten thousand year soul ring. Now he only needed to refine the remaining soul power in the soul ring, and he could successfully absorb this soul ring and break through to the Soul Master level.

Time passes slowly.

When the last bit of soul power in the soul ring was completely refined into his own strength, the deep soul ring surrounding him quietly merged into his body.

Absorption successful!

The bottleneck of soul power at level 30 was suddenly broken, and three soul rings of yellow, purple and black appeared from his body one after another.

Soul Master!

----

ps: A 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear will definitely produce soul bones, but if an external soul bone is produced, it would seem too lucky and not very realistic, and the soul bones of other parts are too young. Even if Ye Qing doesn't like them, Moon will let him absorb them.

To sum up, it would be better to release an existing right arm bone, which would not only match the style of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but also prevent the protagonist from absorbing this 20,000-year soul bone.

Chapter 39 Swallowing Talent, the Hard Road

A powerful soul power fluctuation suddenly emerged. After the bottleneck of Soul Master was broken, Ye Qing's soul power level began to increase rapidly.

"A 20,000-year-old dark gold terror claw bear soul ring, at least you have to upgrade it a few more levels for me, right?"

Just when Ye Qing was expecting his soul power level to break through a few levels, the crisp sound of the barrier breaking only appeared twice and then subsided.

Two...two levels?

The ultimate powerful force finally hit Ye Qing in the face.

Originally, he thought that even if the energy in the soul ring was shared by the three giants in his body, it could at least help him improve his soul power by three levels, to the thirty-fourth level. But in the end, he could only reach the thirty-third level, without even the motivation to go up a bit.

If the age of the Wings of Light had not been increased to at least two thousand years, and his little light elf wife had not been upgraded from six or seven hundred years to a thousand years, Ye Qing would probably have really doubted whether the soul ring of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was too lame.

Facts have proved that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring is very powerful.

The external soul bone, which absorbed only a small part of the power, was upgraded to the two thousand year level. The light elf, which also absorbed a small part of the power, was promoted to a thousand year soul beast.

Ye Qing, who absorbed most of the soul power, only improved by two levels based on breaking through the bottleneck.

Okay.

I finally understand why the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, whose talent is no worse than any other soul beast, has to rely on swallowing to increase its age. With this speed of improving its cultivation, it might as well take a shortcut by swallowing.

Could it be that my pure and innocent Lord Ye Qing also has to rely on grabbing and refining in an instant to increase his soul power?

Ye Qing, with a somewhat uncertain expression on his face, sat there for a long time without saying a word.

When his soul power was raised to this level, he naturally discovered his innate talent for the ability to devour. No matter what kind of energy it was, as long as he took it in, he would digest it at an extremely fast speed.

This is what golden tree tea is like.

This is how the natural treasures and whale glue that enhance the physical body are.

The same is true for various treasures that increase the strength of mental power.

He even ate the pearl that was used to assist in training his mental strength, in order to verify whether he had the talent for devouring.

The result was that the pearl turned into dust, and Ye Qing's mental strength was greatly enhanced.

This proves that he actually has the potential to become an immortal.

It’s just that Lao Mu is still alive now, and he doesn’t dare to use this talent in Shrek.

Ye Qing didn't dare to bet whether they would protect him like they protected Ma Xiaotao. Ma Xiaotao's evil fire could be solved, but his devouring ability was an innate talent, which could not be solved.

What if he is mistaken for an evil soul master and sent away?

It is impossible to guess the thought processes of the Shrek guys, because it is impossible to figure out their thought processes with normal human thinking.

Schrödinger's theory of old age belongs to that.

50%: This boy is from our Shrek family, and his martial spirit is of light attribute. How could he have a talent for devouring? He just has a stronger digestive ability!

50%: I thought you were a soul master of light attribute, but I didn't expect you to have such an unacceptable ability. You evil soul master who was born evil, I will kill you with my own hands...

...It's hard to hold.

Forget it, I'd better just practice diligently first.

Ye Qing sighed secretly, then turned his head to look at the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear not far away from him. Except for the right arm that had been cut off and dissected, all the flesh was intact.

It looks like the soul bone has been taken away, and judging from the appearance, what exploded was probably a piece of right arm bone.

Because there were no signs of dissection on the claws on both sides, only the right arm had a cut that was almost the same length as a human arm.

Ye Qing looked around again, but did not see Moon En and Ye Feng. It seemed that Moon En had gone to find Bei Bei after taking out the soul bone. Ye Qing could basically guess what Moon En was thinking at the moment.

He himself absorbed the Light Demon Breaker soul bone before absorbing the second soul ring, so that he could absorb the 6,800-year-old Light Essence soul ring before the second soul ring.

Now this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear exploded with a piece of top-grade right arm bone. If Beibei absorbed it, the age of his third soul ring would also be greatly improved, laying the foundation for him to absorb the fourth soul ring at the ten thousand year level.

Ye Qing had nothing to say about this.

One reason was that he already had a right arm bone, and if he took another piece, it would be of no use except to give it to Ye Feng Lao Deng, and it would be a waste of money to sell it.

The second reason was that Moon had originally taken him to kill the bear, and he had not put in any effort except for sightseeing, so if Moon didn't give him any, he couldn't complain.

Just give it to Beibei.

If Beibei is too weak, there will be no sense of accomplishment when he is attacked, and what he loses is his own emotional value.

Of course, since the soul bone had been taken away by Moon, Ye Qing accepted the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear without hesitation.

In the original novel, Huo Gua roasted the meat of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. The text described it as being so fragrant and delicious that Xiao Xiao almost swallowed her tongue. It also said that the two bear paws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear were rare delicacies.

Since this thing is described as so delicious, it must be blackened by itself.

Well... at most after it's done, I can just give a little "respect" to Ye Feng, Lao Deng and Moon as a token of my filial piety.

As soon as Moon En came back, he saw Ye Qing stuffing the corpse of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear into his soul guide. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he grabbed the right arm that Ye Qing had cut off before and stuffed it into his soul guide.

"You can take the other parts, but you have to leave one bear claw for this old man. There aren't many chances to eat the Dark Gold Terrorclaw bear claw."

Ye Qing had nothing to feel embarrassed about being found out he was playing tricks on this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, so he simply changed the subject and told Moon that he was already level 33.

"Level thirty-three..." Moon muttered softly.

"Yes, teacher, it is too difficult to improve the ultimate attribute. A 20,000-year-old spirit ring only increased my spirit power by two levels." Ye Qing's tone was also a little helpless. "Didn't you say that our academy has a method to cultivate the ultimate attribute? How about you teach me?"

"I estimate that at my current training speed, it will take me five or six months to reach the next level. At this rate, it will take me a long time to become a Soul Saint."

On average, it takes two years to reach five levels, and four years to reach a major stage. According to Ye Qing's current level of 33, he will have to be at least 25 years old to break through to Soul Saint.

This is based on the fact that he has a strong talent for cultivation. Of course, as he is in Shrek, he has no shortage of cultivation resources, so the time it takes to reach Soul Saint can probably be shortened by one or two years.

But at least around 22 years old.
