48: Chapter 48 Another External Soul Bone! Is Tang San Going to Join the Star Luo Clan?

The Six-Winged Wind-Thunder Falcon landed on the ground, blood still flowing from the arrow holes in its body.

Su Ling walked over and simply punched it in the head, preparing to knock it unconscious first.

After it lost consciousness, Su Ling squatted down and quietly took out the spirit ring-gathering auxiliary liquid he had previously obtained from the System.

For a Spirit Beast under one hundred thousand years, there was a one hundred percent chance to condense a Spirit Bone, and a ten percent chance to condense an external Spirit Bone. The better the Spirit Beast, the better the Spirit Bone condensed.

The poured spirit ring-gathering auxiliary liquid was instantly absorbed by the body of the Six-Winged Wind-Thunder Falcon.

"Su Ling, what are you looking at? Kill it quickly so you can absorb the spirit ring," Liu Erlong reminded him.

"Sister Liu, there's no need to rush. I need to wait a little longer," Su Ling said.

After speaking, Su Ling took out an Intermediate Defensive Array and covered the area.

"Su Ling's array is really much more convenient. It makes things much easier for us," Zhao Wuji commented.

Su Ling said: "It's alright. It can withstand ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, but it won't work against powerful ones."

"Even so, it can serve as an early warning, which is very convenient," Zhao Wuji added.

With the Defensive Array in place, everyone could sit down and rest.

"Su Ling, why do you have to wait? What if this Spirit Beast dies? Wouldn't that be a pity?" Flender asked.

"Let's wait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn," Su Ling said.

"Sigh, it's up to you then," Flender said, looking helpless.

"Boss Fu, Su Ling said to wait, so you wait. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Liu Erlong scolded Flender instead.

"I..." Flender didn't know what to say, so he could only wait quietly.

The effect of the spirit ring-gathering auxiliary liquid took the time of one incense stick to take effect. Su Ling couldn't help it; it wasn't something he could control.

The few of them waited like this.

When the time for one incense stick had passed, Su Ling deliberately waited a few more minutes before confidently walking over to the Six-Winged Wind-Thunder Falcon.

He raised his dagger and stabbed it in one go.

The Six-Winged Wind-Thunder Falcon, which had originally fainted, began to struggle desperately again. Su Ling simply punched it again, and that ended the life of the Six-Winged Wind-Thunder Falcon.

Before long, a black spirit ring rose up.

Su Ling sat cross-legged, adjusted his state, and after a while, controlled the spirit ring to enter his body.

It was a spirit ring over thirty-five thousand years old, and from a mutated Spirit Beast at that. When the spirit ring merged with his Spirit, it was another Fusion of attributes.

If he incorporated the wind and thunder attributes, could it still be called the Five Elements Battle Bow?

Su Ling, at Rank 50, was absorbing a spirit ring over thirty thousand years old. Often, many Spirit Saints only absorbed spirit rings of this age.

One could imagine how vast the energy contained within it was.

The energy gathered in Su Ling's body, filling his entire being. The difficulty of handling two different attributes was even greater than the previous gold and earth attributes.

The wind attribute energy seemed to want to tear Su Ling's body apart, and the lightning attribute was also wreaking havoc, causing lightning to flicker on Su Ling's body.

The three people outside had never seen such a scene; honestly, they were all frightened by this sight.

"Su Ling, come on," Liu Erlong could only recite silently in her heart.

At this moment, they couldn't help at all from the outside.

"It's still too much of a stretch," Flender also shook his head helplessly.

Su Ling was truly struggling at this moment. The destructive power of the gold and earth dual attributes in his body was really not as bad as the wind and thunder dual attributes, and the two types of energy were much greater than the last time.

After running the cultivation method of the basic chapter of the Supreme Hunyuan Scripture, Su Ling finally felt a bit better.

But as energy continued to be released from the spirit ring, Su Ling's body seemed to be reaching its limit again.

Sweat beads kept streaming down, accompanied by blood. Some parts of his body had already cracked open with small wounds.

"It's over. Su Ling... is he going to fail again?" Flender said, looking worried.

Su Ling's state at this moment was exactly the same as the scene when he failed to absorb his fourth spirit ring last time.

That was how he failed last time, and it was fortunate that the energy released by the Spirit Beast he absorbed last time wasn't much, so Su Ling had luckily saved his life.

But today, it was a thirty-five-thousand-year Spirit Beast; the difficulty had increased more than tenfold.

"Erlong, look at you. Now Su Ling is in danger," Flender said.

"Shut up. I believe in Su Ling."

Liu Erlong was very angry that Flender said this; after all, Su Ling's position in her heart had long surpassed everyone else, including Flender.

Liu Erlong thought to herself: Su Ling, if you die, I will accompany you.

This was Liu Erlong's current mindset. A favorability of 96 allowed her to do anything for Su Ling, even dying for love.

Just when they were worried, Su Ling moved.

The external Spirit Bone on his body, the Golden Dragon Armor, began to extend outward from his chest, finally covering his entire person.

"Right, Su Ling still has an external Spirit Bone. This is an external Spirit Bone that is over ten thousand years old. It can improve Su Ling's body and provide stronger defense. It should be fine now," Flender said.

This was the first time Liu Erlong had seen Su Ling use his external Spirit Bone, and she was still somewhat shocked inside. After all, external Spirit Bones were too rare.

With the appearance of the Golden Dragon Armor, Su Ling's situation was much better. At least his body wouldn't collapse due to too much energy.

The energy was still in his body, and he quickly absorbed it by circulating his Soul Power.

Finally, after half an hour, the spirit ring no longer released energy outward and began to fuse with his Spirit. Su Ling knew that the Peak had passed. Having survived the most difficult moment, the rest would be safe.

Just as Su Ling understood, no problems occurred afterward.

Ten hours passed in this way, and the spirit ring and Spirit finally merged successfully. His Soul Power also reached Rank 51. However, how could a spirit ring of thirty-five thousand years only bring this much improvement?

His Soul Power was still increasing, but at the same time, Su Ling also discovered the Spirit Bone condensed by the Six-Winged Wind-Thunder Falcon.

"Eh, is it another external Spirit Bone?"

"This is too lucky. Is Zhuqing nearby? Or has the Protagonist Halo of this World moved from Tang San to me?"

"An external Spirit Bone, an external Spirit Bone."

"My God, how is Su Ling's luck so Heaven-Defying?" Flender exclaimed.

Not only did Su Ling discover it himself, but the three people outside also saw it at the same time.

"Su Ling, in the future, this continent will be yours. You will definitely become the strongest Spirit Master," Liu Erlong whispered.

Continuing to absorb the external Spirit Bone, Su Ling did not stop.

This time was different from the last time he absorbed his fourth spirit ring; it was safe now.

The Golden Dragon Armor was on his chest, so the position of this external Spirit Bone was on his back.

Su Ling controlled the external Spirit Bone to enter his body and began to fuse with the bones of his spine.

During the Fusion process, Su Ling's Soul Power was also increasing simultaneously.

Rank 52... Rank 52 Peak!

An hour later, Su Ling's Soul Power had increased to Rank 53, but the increase had not yet stopped.

It wasn't until his Soul Power stopped at Rank 53 and a half that the energy in Su Ling's body was completely exhausted.

However, the Spirit Bone was still condensing. This wait took another seven or eight hours, and time had arrived at the next morning. Su Ling finally successfully absorbed the external Spirit Bone.

Su Ling moved his mind, and even with his eyes closed, he could clearly see the System interface.

Age: 19

Spirit: Primordial War Bow (incomplete)

Soul Power: Rank 53

Mental Energy: Rank 71

spirit rings: Yellow (320 years, attribute: Water), Yellow (652 years, attribute: Wood), Purple (1358 years, attribute: Fire), Black (20086 years, attribute: Gold/Earth), Black (35680 years, attribute: Wind/Thunder)

Spirit Bones: external Spirit Bone Golden Dragon Armor (20086 years), external Spirit Bone six-winged wind-thunder wings (35680 years)

Cultivation Technique: Concentration Technique (First Layer), Supreme Hunyuan Scripture Basic Upper Chapter

Skills: Carefree Travel (Minor Achievement), Eight Desolations Fist (Major Achievement)

The Five Elements Battle Bow had changed; it had actually become the Primordial War Bow, and it was incomplete? Could it be that the attributes were insufficient?

The Soul Power was correct, his Mental Energy had increased by 4 Ranks, and the age of the external Spirit Bone was also correct: six-winged wind-thunder wings.

Taking a glance, Su Ling immediately exited the System interface, then opened his eyes and stood up.

But as soon as Su Ling stood up, the three of them surrounded him.

"Su Ling, how many Ranks have you improved?"

"Su Ling, what is your external Spirit Bone?"

"Su Ling, hurry and show us."

Su Ling said: "No rush, no rush, wait for me to explain slowly."

They didn't have external Spirit Bones, so of course, they were very concerned about it and wanted to know what kind of external Spirit Bone it was and if it was the same as what they thought.

Su Ling said: "My Soul Power has now improved to Rank 53. As for the external Spirit Bone, you all step back a bit."

The three of them quickly retreated a few meters, and suddenly, a pair of wings unfolded behind Su Ling.

In the blink of an eye, Su Ling flew into the air.

Flight! Who in his previous life on Blue Star didn't have this wish when they were young or even after they grew up?

The feeling of flying in the air was very comfortable.

"Sure enough, just as we guessed, wind-thunder wings," Flender said.

"Actually, it's more than that." Su Ling moved again, and two more pairs of wings appeared behind him.

"My external Spirit Bone is the complete six-winged wind-thunder wings. I can use a single pair or all three pairs together. For every additional pair of wings, my speed can increase by 20%."

After speaking, Su Ling circulated his Soul Power, and the wind-thunder wings displayed the dual attributes of wind and thunder; faint lightning could even be seen on the wings.

Spirit Bone Skill — Wind-Thunder Movement!

Almost in an instant, Su Ling was standing a hundred meters away.

It wasn't Teleportation, but it seemed like Teleportation. Unfortunately, it only had a distance of one hundred meters per use, but fortunately, the consumption of Soul Power was very low, and there was not much burden when using it.

"Good, very good!"

"Su Ling, that was your Spirit Bone skill just now, right?" Liu Erlong asked.

"Yes, I call it Wind-Thunder Movement," Su Ling responded.

"I think it's already comparable to Teleportation," Liu Erlong said.

Flender and Zhao Wuji also nodded, expressing their agreement.

"With such speed, we might not even be able to catch up," Flender said.

Zhao Wuji smiled and said: "With Su Ling here, I think the championship of this Advanced Spirit Master Tournament is secure."

"That's right, there's a very good chance," Liu Erlong said, although they didn't go to the finals, she estimated that there weren't many people who could reach Spirit King at this age.

After all, Su Ling was still some time away from turning twenty, and there was still about a year left until the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament.

What kind of improvements could Su Ling make in this year?

Would he reach the level of a Spirit Emperor?

Given Su Ling's cultivation speed, that was truly a possibility.

Previously, Flender had wanted to take Su Ling as his formal Disciple, just like Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, but now he realized he no longer seemed qualified.

However, even if he were to say it now and Su Ling agreed, Liu Erlong would certainly stop it.

"Su Ling, let's go, it's time for us to return," Liu Erlong said.

"And Zhao Wuji, Boss Fu, the matter of Su Ling giving you those medicinal herbs must be kept secret. It concerns Su Ling's life and death. If you speak of it to anyone else, I will definitely not let you off. Also... you are not allowed to ask about the origin of those herbs. Do you understand?" Liu Erlong continued to warn them.

On the road, Flender had asked once and had already been reprimanded by Liu Erlong, but before returning, she emphasized it once more.

"Erlong, I understand. Rest assured, I won't ask, and I won't speak of it again," Flender said.

"That's right, I certainly won't say anything. Originally, I thought the highest I could reach in this life was a Spirit Douluo. Now that my Soul Power is already Rank 79 and will reach Rank 80 before long, I can see the opportunity to become a Titled Douluo. I am already satisfied with this," Zhao Wuji said.

"That's good. Su Ling, you have used these kinds of medicinal herbs on Zhuqing and Rongrong as well; you must remind them again after we go back."

"Mn, Sister Liu, rest assured," Su Ling said.

In truth, in the original story, Tang San also faced great risks after bringing out the medicinal herbs, but he had Tang Hao protecting him from behind. Who would dare to come and snatch them?

If not for Tang Hao, Ning Fengzhi would certainly have made a move. Those were, after all, the key medicinal herbs that could allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve. How could one easily believe it when you say there is only one stalk?

They left the depths of the Sunset Forest in the morning, and with the speed of the three of them, they returned to Shrek Academy by evening.

However, Su Ling did not return to his own home; instead, he quietly went to Liu Erlong's room.

"Su Ling, I am a Spirit Douluo now, I'm not afraid of you!" Liu Erlong said.

"Is that so? I have improved as well."

Ah...

"You must eat it all..."

Ugh...

...

A night passed, and early the next morning, Su Ling returned to his room, changed his clothes, and then pretended to come out of the room.

"Boss, you're back?" Feng Yuer said with a face full of surprise.

Su Ling said: "Yuer, has your archery improved during this time?"

"Boss, you can test me. I can now fire seven arrows at once, and all seven can hit the target," Feng Yuer said proudly.

"Not bad, keep it up!"

"That's right, Yuer, take this when you have time. It should help you increase your Soul Power. Just eat it directly, it's very simple." Su Ling took out a box and handed it to Feng Yuer.

The item Su Ling gave her wasn't actually anything particularly good, nor was it a celestial-grade herb; it was just a Nine-Curvature Purple Ganoderma.

Feng Yuer also knew that Su Ling had helped Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong improve, and she was still very envious.

After all, she had been stuck at Rank 45 for over half a year.

"Okay, Boss!" Feng Yuer said.

[Ding... Feng Yuer's favorability +3, Purple Treasure Chest *2, Black Treasure Chest *1]

After the increase, Feng Yuer's favorability had reached 89, just a little short of 90, and after taking the herb and experiencing its effects, her favorability should be able to increase significantly.

In the original story, the Nine-Curvature Purple Ganoderma was taken by Yu Xiaogang, and its effects were not much worse than those of a celestial-grade herb.

The reason Yu Xiaogang didn't increase his Soul Power very high in the end was not because the Nine-Curvature Purple Ganoderma was ineffective, but because his own talent was simply too poor.

"Boss, I'll go ask for leave now, and I'll take it in a while," Feng Yuer said.

"No need, I'll go help you ask for leave," Su Ling said.

"Then, thank you, Boss."

Feng Yuer hopped and skipped happily and immediately ran back to her room.

"Mn, there's also Oscar and Ma Hongjun; it's time to give them some too."

Su Ling had a plan, which was to go to the Extreme North to take a look, and while he was at it, retrieve that Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Before leaving, he should finish these matters.

During the day, Su Ling didn't go to find them. After helping Feng Yuer ask for leave, he made a trip to Heaven Dou City to purchase quite a few supplies needed for going out.

When Su Ling returned to the academy in the afternoon, good news came from Feng Yuer's side.

[Ding... Feng Yuer's favorability +6, obtained Purple Treasure Chest *2, Black Treasure Chest *3, Red Treasure Chest *1]

[Ding... Feng Yuer's favorability has reached 90!]

[Bound Goddess: Feng Yuer]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 94]

[Favorability: 95 (In love beyond control, unable to hold anyone else in her heart)]

[Bonding Effect: Host can obtain 40% of the Bound Goddess's daily cultivation effect, without reducing the Bound Goddess's cultivation speed.]

[Bonding Skill 1: Archery Enhancement (When Feng Yuer is within 200 meters of the host, the power of arrows shot by the host that are not Spirit Abilities is increased by 40%)]

[Bonding Skill 2: Arm Strength Enhancement (When Feng Yuer is within 500 meters of the host, the host's arm strength for drawing a bow is increased by 30%)]

[Bonding Skill 3: Perception (When Feng Yuer encounters danger within 500 meters of the host, the host can immediately sense her location)]

Not long after the System's voice sounded, Feng Yuer came out and ran over to Su Ling's place.

"Boss, thank you, my Soul Power has already increased to Rank 47," Feng Yuer said happily.

Although it wasn't as many levels as the increase for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were at the Spirit Elder stage, while she was at the Spirit Ancestor stage; she was very satisfied with an increase of two levels.

She had originally wanted to come and hug Su Ling, but Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were beside him, so it wasn't appropriate for her to step forward, and she could only suppress the joy and gratitude in her heart.

"Sister Yuer, congratulations," Ning Rongrong said.

"Mn, thank you both as well," Feng Yuer said.

Su Ling said: "Zhuqing, Rongrong, long time no see."

"Brother Su, I heard you went to the Sunset Forest with Dean Liu and Dean Flender to help them find spirit rings. Have they both advanced to Spirit Douluo?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

"They have!" Su Ling responded truthfully.

"Really, at their level, they didn't need you to go. Zhuqing, don't you agree?" Ning Rongrong said.

They had missed Su Ling very much over this past month.

Especially Zhu Zhuqing; that 98 favorability was no joke. As the saying goes, one day apart feels like three autumns, which was exactly what Zhu Zhuqing was experiencing every day.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was also holding Su Ling's hands tightly, afraid that Su Ling would leave again.

"Actually, it wasn't just to help them find theirs. I had also reached Rank 50, so it was just right to help me find a spirit ring as well," Su Ling said.

"What? Brother Su, you're already a Spirit King?" Ning Rongrong said in surprise.

"Brother Su, you haven't reached twenty years old yet, right?"

"I'm about to reach it, actually, it can almost count as twenty years old!" Su Ling said.

"Even a twenty-year-old Spirit King is very impressive," Ning Rongrong said.

How could Ning Rongrong not know the weight of this?

"Rongrong, you all, for the time being, please don't spread this, do you understand?" Su Ling said.

"That goes without saying; we aren't stupid, right? Zhuqing!" After finishing, Ning Rongrong glanced at Zhu Zhuqing who was beside her.

"Brother Su, congratulations," Zhu Zhuqing also spoke up.

"Zhuqing, you all have been working quite hard as well; your Soul Power has increased, right?" Su Ling said. After all, he had given them Intermediate Soul Power Pills; it would be strange if Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power hadn't increased.

In the month or so that Su Ling was away, Zhu Zhuqing had increased from Rank 38 to Rank 39, but after reaching this level, the effect of the Intermediate Soul Power Pills was no longer very significant.

Ning Rongrong was the same; after increasing from Rank 37 to Rank 38, although the Intermediate Soul Power Pills still had an effect, it was much less.

...

Meanwhile, in the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire, over ten thousand kilometers away.

"Big Brother, Zhuqing has already left me. It is impossible for me to contend with you for that position again. I only want to enter the academy now and participate in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament with you," Dai Mubai said.

Dai Weisi looked at Dai Mubai and said indifferently: "Is that so? So your fiancée was snatched by someone else; no wonder."

"I want to defeat him at the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, and later, I will kill him with my own hands."

Speaking of this, an expression of extreme anger also appeared on Dai Mubai's face; this kind of anger generally cannot be faked.

"Actually, I already know a little about your situation. Is it that you have already lost that thing?" Dai Weisi couldn't help but glance downward.

"Big Brother, I... that's why I want to take revenge. As long as Big Brother helps me complete my revenge in the future, I will definitely Support you well for the rest of my life," Dai Mubai said with a serious face.

Having lost that aspect of things, he no longer had any chance to compete with Dai Weisi.

"Good, my younger brother, I will definitely help you. I've heard you've made rapid progress during this time; are you already a Spirit Ancestor?" Dai Weisi said.

At this moment, Dai Mubai posed absolutely no threat to him; even if his Soul Power had increased, it was the same. Some things, once gone, meant losing everything, and it was impossible to recover.

"That's right, my Soul Power has now reached Rank 42," Dai Mubai said proudly.

"However, it was only with the help of my friends that I could have such Soul Power. They also want to join the Star Luo Royal Academy together," Dai Mubai said.

"Oh, who are they?" Suddenly, Dai Weisi also became interested in Dai Mubai's friends.

So Dai Mubai turned and looked outside the door, saying: "Teacher, Little San, Xiao Wu, come in."

It turned out that by this time, Dai Mubai had already taken Yu Xiaogang as his teacher and had become Tang San's Junior Brother.
