Chapter 157 Shrek Academy Brings Bad News
Without Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen traveling with him, Lin Nuo maximized his speed and stealth abilities, traveling non-stop from the Star Dou Great Forest back to the Sun Moon Empire.
During this process, Xiao Hongchen had already absorbed the soul ring.
But when he learned that this was Lin Nuo's inner world and that Lin Nuo was leading them back to the Sun Moon Empire, he did not rush out. Instead, he stayed in his inner world to stabilize his newly broken-through soul power.
Why bother traveling by plane when you can just take a plane? You might as well spend that time processing your own strength.
"The biggest reason is that I don't want to eat Arnold and Dream's PDA anymore!"
During the previous two weeks of travel, although Xiao Hongchen convinced himself with the idea of a relaxed pace, the feeling of not being able to touch his favorite metal and soul tools made him tremble like a young man trying to abduct a deer, unable to sit still for even a moment.
Meng Hongchen wanted to play a little longer, but after seeing the two Title Douluo ice sculptures that Lin Nuo had thrown into the World of Living Beings, she wisely put safety first.
One is the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, and the other is the head of the Treasure Pavilion. Both are elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Even Jing Hongchen doesn't have such a glorious record.
This move undoubtedly enraged Shrek Academy. If they had left any later, they might have been blocked in the Douluo Three Kingdoms by more than a dozen Title Douluo.
During his journey, Xiao Hongchen also finished digesting all the souls he had obtained from this hunt.
First, there's the soul power level. As expected of a top-tier soul beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring directly pushed Xiao Hongchen's soul power level to level 62, and the age of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw's right palm bone also reached the ten-thousand-year level.
Secondly, his metal control ability has been greatly enhanced due to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's inherently strong metal properties. The most obvious improvement is that he can condense metal with his soul power faster, and the strength of the condensed metal is also higher.
The improvement in efficiency and quality represents an enhancement in the essence of Xiao Hongchen's Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul.
As your martial soul becomes stronger, your other stats will also become stronger.
Take Xiao Hongchen's fourth soul skill as an example. His fourth soul skill, Sacrifice of Gold, can absorb the power of metal to enhance his soul power. Now, the effect of this soul skill has been enhanced. Not only is the efficiency faster, but the energy conversion rate is also higher, which can support him to cultivate to a higher level.
After that, Linno also handed over the right arm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to him.
"Ah Xiao, it's up to you whether you absorb this soul bone or not. Originally, I didn't recommend that you absorb it, since 30,000 years is still too short, but there is a possibility that I have to consider," Lin Nuo explained to Xiao Hongchen.
"The absorption of the metacarpal bone does not affect the subsequent absorption of the right arm bone. Your metacarpal bone and this arm bone are from the same source and can easily fuse together, but I have a guess."
Using a secret soul bone as a medium might allow the metacarpal and arm bones to fuse more deeply, forming a true whole that is inseparable from each other.
Doing this will result in two situations.
The first scenario is to completely deprive Xiao Hongchen's right palm bone of its growth potential as an external soul bone, and fully integrate it into the arm bone, thereby increasing the age of the arm bone and enhancing its power.
The second scenario involves assimilating the arm bone into the metacarpal bone, resulting in the additional characteristic of an external soul bone. This allows the arm bone to be influenced by the metacarpal bone, thereby increasing its lifespan.
If it's the first scenario, then this absorption is undoubtedly a huge loss. Not only will the external soul bone be lost, but the absorption of a part of the soul bone will also be wasted. Even if it can be absorbed again by severing the arm later, a piece of the external soul bone will have already been lost.
If it's the second scenario, it's undoubtedly a huge win. A single external soul bone that can be upgraded as a whole means that Xiao Hongchen will have an extra Qilin arm in the future. His right arm soul bone will increase indefinitely as he grows, becoming the most promising of his six body parts that can absorb soul bones.
The source of this idea is undoubtedly the example of Huo Yuhao.
The Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone is only 70,000 years old, but the Ice Emperor can increase the age of Huo Yuhao's left arm bone through the same source of torso bones.
There's no reason why the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm and right arm bones, which share the same origin, couldn't do something similar.
It can only be said that the probability of success is high, but it is not impossible to fail.
"It's up to you to decide what to do. But whatever you do, this soul bone is yours, since it was dropped when you hunted your sixth soul ring," Lin Nuo said.
After obtaining the soul bone, Xiao Hongchen began the fusion process without even thinking twice.
For Lin Nuo, the age limit was low. For ordinary people, let alone a 30,000-year soul bone, even a 3,000-year soul bone would be fused without hesitation as long as the attributes did not conflict. This was especially true for the people of the Sun Moon Empire.
Do you really think every power is like Shrek Academy, with their hands stained with the blood of soul beasts?
Even for Xiao Hongchen, a 30,000-year-old soul bone is an acceptable age limit, let alone one from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which complements his external soul bone and shares the same origin.
Unlike Lin Nuo, a native of Douluo Continent, who not only has his own cheat codes but also divine trials by his side, his horizons have long been broadened beyond measure by the original work and the opportunities he has obtained.
Even though it cannot be upgraded along with the right palm bone after fusion, it is still a top-grade soul bone for Xiao Hongchen.
Of course, he didn't go too far in the fusion process. For example, he followed Lin Nuo's advice and used the secret technique of the soul bone to deeply bind the two soul bones together during the fusion.
"This soul bone is already precious enough for me, so I won't consider replacing it," Xiao Hongchen said with a smile. "It would be good if it could complement my right palm bone, but it doesn't matter if we can't form a connection. As long as the right palm bone can maintain its growth potential, it can complement this soul bone in the future."
Playing too extremely can easily turn you into a gambling addict who ends up with nothing!
It means using less risk to gain greater benefits; if you win, you make a fortune, and if you lose, you don't lose anything. In any case, this soul bone has already met Xiao Hongchen's expectations.
So Xiao Hongchen continued to absorb soul bones during his journey. However, this time the fusion of soul bones took an exceptionally long time. Even after Lin Nuo returned to Mingdu, he still hadn't woken up.
After putting Xiao Hongchen back in his room, Lin Nuo began to keep an eye on the news from Shrek Academy.
Not long after, the entire Douluo Continent was plunged into a great tremor.
the reason is simple.
Because Shrek remained silent, only bringing bad news!
