31: Chapter 31 Talent Enhanced Again! The Second External Soul Bone

The dead Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's metacarpal wound emitted faint strands of golden light, instantly capturing Yun Yuan's attention.

"Could this be...?"

Seeing this, a suspicion arose in Yun Yuan's heart. If it were true, then his luck would be far too incredible.

Holding onto this thought, Yun Yuan stepped forward to the side of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. He pulled a sharp dagger from his Storage Spirit Tool Ring, intending to cut open the bear's left palm.

As for why he didn't use the qingtian spear, Yun Yuan felt that his qingtian spear was currently too sharp; its keenness was no less than that of a divine artifact.

If Yun Yuan were careless and accidentally destroyed the Spirit Bone within the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left palm with the qingtian spear, he would be heartbroken.

After obtaining his second spirit ring, just as Yun Yuan had previously guessed, his qingtian spear Spirit evolved once more, with its sharpness and armor-piercing attributes increasing again.

At the same time, the Innate Sky-Forbidden Domain had also changed. When the Domain was released, the area it covered was larger, the spatial suppression on enemies was stronger, and the consumption of Soul Power was lower.

Yun Yuan estimated that the current strength of his qingtian spear Spirit was something even the god-level Seraphim Spirit inherited by Spirit Hall could no longer compare to.

Beyond the changes to his Spirit, Yun Yuan's comprehension and cultivation speed had both improved.

Logically speaking, Yun Yuan's talent was already so strong that it was difficult to improve; even a God's blessing would find it hard to change his natural gifts.

But after obtaining the spirit ring, it was like a conceptual change; his talent improved beyond all reason, with no upper limit to speak of.

After taking out the sharp dagger, Yun Yuan looked at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left palm and began to excavate the bone to see if the legendary external Spirit Bone was there.

After a while, once the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left palm was completely cut open, sure enough, a dark-gold Spirit Bone emitting a golden glow and terrifying Soul Power fluctuations appeared before Yun Yuan's eyes.

"external Spirit Bone, Dark Gold Terrorclaw!"

The moment he saw this Spirit Bone, that name popped into Yun Yuan's mind.

In Yun Yuan's eyes, an external Spirit Bone was a treasure not inferior to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone. Yet, he had managed to encounter them while obtaining both his first and second spirit rings. What kind of luck was this?

Immediately after, Yun Yuan picked up the Dark Gold Terrorclaw external Spirit Bone, intending to find a relatively safe place to absorb it.

Encountering a treasure of this level, Yun Yuan had no reason not to absorb it. At the thought of soon possessing two external Spirit Bones, the corners of Yun Yuan's mouth couldn't help but curl up, unable to suppress his inner excitement.

Putting aside his thoughts, Yun Yuan quickly found a suitable spot to absorb the external Spirit Bone. He then sat cross-legged and placed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw external Spirit Bone against his left palm.

Before long, Yun Yuan circulated his Soul Power, and the external Spirit Bone gradually merged into his right palm.

As time passed, Yun Yuan felt a sharp pain coming from his right palm. He gritted his teeth, his back soaked with sweat.

"Absorbing this with a two-ring cultivation is indeed a bit painful."

As a super Spirit Beast, the external Spirit Bone produced by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was extremely difficult to absorb.

Ten thousand years later, when that Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent tried to absorb it with a three-ring cultivation, he almost failed. One could imagine how difficult it was to absorb this external Spirit Bone.

However, there was a difference. Compared to that Dark Gold Terrorclaw external Spirit Bone from ten thousand years later, the age of this external Spirit Bone was only a thousand years.

Furthermore, Yun Yuan had practiced the spear since childhood and had even comprehended the Heaven-Supporting Intent a few months ago; his will was already as firm as a rock.

Moreover, during this past half-year, Yun Yuan had consumed whale shark, and his physical fitness was already comparable to a Beast Spirit Spirit Elder.

Therefore, while there would be difficulty in absorbing this thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw external Spirit Bone for Yun Yuan, he could get through it by enduring.

One hour later.

Yun Yuan slowly opened his eyes. His back was already soaked with sweat, and his white clothes were mostly damp.

But despite the hardship, the feeling of a full harvest soon brought a bright smile to Yun Yuan's face. A Spirit Grandmaster with two external Spirit Bones—Yun Yuan's luck was truly excellent.

Next, Yun Yuan sensed the changes within himself.

First was the increase in Soul Power level. Before absorbing this Dark Gold Terrorclaw, the thousand-plus-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear spirit ring had brought his Soul Power to level twenty-three, a direct increase of three levels.

Now, after absorbing this external Spirit Bone and refining its energy, his Soul Power level rose by another level, making him a level twenty-four attack system Spirit Grandmaster.

Secondly, it was the improvement in physical fitness. After absorbing this external Spirit Bone, his physical condition was nearing that of a Beast Spirit Spirit Ancestor.

The Spirit Bone skill that this Dark Gold Terrorclaw external Spirit Bone gave Yun Yuan was exactly as he had thought: Dark Gold Terrorclaw.

This Spirit Bone skill was the signature technique of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan. Its power was impressive, providing Yun Yuan with an excellent offensive skill before he had fully established his own path.

The path Yun Yuan intended to take was to attach buff-type spirit rings, then create his own Spirit Abilities, and finally have the spirit ring skills stack their buffs onto his self-created abilities.

Before this path was fully realized, there was a lack of offensive means, though this drawback had not yet become apparent.

But by the time Yun Yuan reached the high-level Spirit Master stages, this drawback would gradually show. Therefore, this external Spirit Bone's skill happened to give Yun Yuan an extra offensive ability to enhance his strength.

Having obtained this external Spirit Bone, Yun Yuan wanted to test the power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw. He then looked toward several large trees nearby that were as thick as three men's embrace.

With a thought, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw attached to his left palm. He began to use his Soul Power, and with a gentle swing, a massive golden claw phantom appeared.

In just an instant, those large trees were torn apart by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw as if cutting through tofu. The smooth cuts testified to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw's sharpness.

After testing the Spirit Bone skill, Yun Yuan retracted the Dark Gold Terrorclaw on his left palm and summoned his qingtian spear Spirit.

As soon as the incandescent, transparent long spear appeared, it emitted an unparalleled aura, its cold light so piercing it could hurt one's eyes.

At the same time, one yellow and one purple spirit ring circled around Yun Yuan. Since he had already tried the Spirit Bone skill, Yun Yuan decided to test the power of his spirit ring skills as well.

In the next moment, both spirit rings on Yun Yuan's body lit up simultaneously.

"First Spirit Skill, Wind and Lightning Flash!"

"Second Spirit Skill, Endless Battle Spear!"

As Yun Yuan's two low shouts fell, the qingtian spear began to change, with the power of wind and thunder swirling around it.

But it wasn't over. As Yun Yuan swung the qingtian spear to launch an attack—

The aura on the qingtian spear surged violently, and the power of the attack directly increased by more than twofold. When it struck the ground, it blasted out a massive crater.

The Second Spirit Skill provided by Yun Yuan's second spirit ring, Endless Battle Spear, could have its specific effect described in one word.

Critical Hit!!!
