Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 23: Soul Bone Transforms into External Soul Bone

Soul bones have far more advantages than soul rings.

Firstly, it is not restricted by level. Soul Masters of any level can successfully absorb Soul Bones of any level, unlike Soul Rings which may burst a Soul Master.

Moreover, soul bones have the powerful effect of strengthening a soul master's physique. For a soul master with poor talent, a high-quality soul bone can definitely have a life-changing effect.

Unfortunately, ordinary people have no chance of encountering such a life-changing opportunity.

What others yearn for is simply something Gu Xuan will inevitably acquire as he grows.

A 60,000-year-old soul bone is still too much for Gu Xuan at his current level.

Moreover, perhaps because it was a fire-attribute dragon soul bone, the dragon runes hidden within him lit up instantly the moment the soul bone connected to his body.

Extreme flames emanated from the statue of the Holy Lord, flowing into Gu Xuan's right leg along with his soul power and soul bones.

This absorption process took two whole days and two nights.

As the sun and moon revolved, Gu Xuan opened his eyes, and a ball of flame suddenly burst forth from them, forming a fire dragon in the air that rushed towards him.

"Hey, you're already restless as soon as you wake up."

Gu Rong narrowed his eyes and curled his lips in surprise as he watched the fire dragon rushing towards him. Then he reached out and grabbed at the fire dragon.

The originally extremely ferocious fire dragon tried to struggle the moment it was caught, but how could the ancient banyan tree allow it to explode at such close range?

With a slight clench of his right hand, the fire dragon was instantly crushed and completely obliterated by a terrifying surge of soul power.

"Not bad, this power is enough to kill any Soul Master who comes into contact with it."

Gu Rong's eyes lit up slightly as he made his summary.

"How was it? How was the harvest?"

Gu Rong flashed to Gu Xuan's side and helped him up with a fawning expression.

"grandfather……"

Seeing Gu Rong like this, Gu Xuan was really not used to it. This kind of treatment was probably only given to Ning Rongrong in the past.

I'm speechless...

"The harvest was pretty good."

After Gu Xuan stood up, he subtly withdrew his hand.

"My soul power has successfully broken through to level 20, and my physique has also been greatly improved."

Gu Xuan clenched his fist, and his soul power surged outwards, revealing his level 20 without any obstruction to Gu Rong's perception.

Needless to say, the quality of the 60,000-year-old soul bone is exceptional. The increase in soul power is just a minor matter. What truly improves Gu Xuan's physical attributes is his physical condition. Now, even without using his soul power, Gu Xuan can contend with ordinary hundred-year-old soul beasts.

"Don't move, Grandpa will check your body."

Upon hearing that his physique had improved dramatically, Gu Rong couldn't help but place his hand on Gu Xuan's shoulder.

Gu Xuan did not resist upon hearing this, as he was also curious about the current level of his physical abilities.

Gu Xuan felt an extremely strong soul force surge into his body. This soul force was incredibly pure, but it spread very cautiously, taking a full ten minutes to complete its circulation within his body.

The more the banyan tree was examined, the brighter its eyes became.

"How is it?"

After Gu Xuan saw that Gu Rong had finished the examination and was sitting still like a wooden statue, he couldn't help but ask her.

Gu Rong looked like he'd gone mad, and Gu Xuan was really afraid that if he improved too much, it would shock him to death.

"What, how is it?"

This is absolutely wonderful, Xuan'er! You're such a good grandson of mine, hahaha!

When Gu Rong came to her senses, the look in her eyes when she looked at Gu Xuan could only be described as one of extreme satisfaction.

Seeing Gu Rong's smug expression, Gu Xuan's expression gradually became speechless.

"Hey, don't be angry, Grandpa is just too happy."

Seeing this, Gu Rong stopped amusing himself and quickly moved Gu Xuan to a chair before sitting down himself.

"Your current physical condition is comparable to that of a typical hundred-year-old soul beast, and even more than that of a Soul Master who is strong enough to attack. Back when I was at the Soul Master level, I didn't have your current physical condition."

You absorbed that soul bone perfectly.

Gu Rong smacked his lips and sighed.

"The physical strength of a Soul Master?"

Gu Xuan clenched his fist. He could indeed sense that his physical fitness had greatly improved, but he didn't expect it to be this much.

However, since physical fitness has improved, does that mean the quality of spirit rings can also be improved?

Surely a Soul Master's physical condition wouldn't allow him to absorb a hundred-year-old Soul Ring?

Moreover, if his perception is not mistaken, this soul bone should be more than just the Unicorn Firestorm Dragon Soul Bone.

How could a soul bone infused with the power of the Holy Lord Dragon Talisman not experience any improvement?

"By the way, Xuan'er, what is your soul bone skill? What type of soul skill is it?"

Gu Rong immediately asked.

This concerns the future combination of Gu Xuan's soul bones, and he needs to figure it out.

"Soul Bone Technique..."

Gu Xuan didn't speak, but instead let the facts speak for themselves.

As soul power was drawn into his right leg to activate the soul bone, a surge of information flooded his mind, and the soul bone skill was activated...

Gu Xuan looked somewhat embarrassed.

Gu Rong looked at Gu Xuan with a half-smile.

Just now, a layer of flames burned on Gu Xuan's body, which looked quite powerful, but before the soul skill could be formed, the flames on Gu Xuan's body burned out.

Although the activation failed, Gu Xuan's strength was indeed greatly enhanced at that moment.

"I was careless and didn't turn it on."

Gu Xuan composed himself and started again, but this time he directly activated the dog talisman for protection.

The originally limited soul power instantly turned into endless energy.

This is why Gu Xuan failed before. With his level 20 soul power, he thought he could use a 60,000-year-old soul bone technique.

That's why Gu Rong had that ambiguous smile; he had already seen through everything.

With the support of the dog talisman, Gu Xuan's soul power was finally able to meet the standard for activating this soul skill.

His right leg glowed with a fiery red light, and flames instantly engulfed Gu Xuan.

"Unicorn Firestorm Dragon's Right Leg Soul Bone Skill: Raging Fire Domain!"

As Gu Xuan stomped his foot on the ground, the area within a 30-meter radius around him instantly collapsed, and then fierce flames erupted from the surface, directly forming a small world of fire.

The flames burning within were none other than the explosive flames created by the Ancient Xuanlong Talisman.

"field!"

Gu Rong, who was sitting down, was so shocked by this scene that he jumped up and stared in disbelief at the thing that resembled a domain and Gu Xuan, who was maintaining it.

Are you kidding me? You created a domain just by absorbing a 60,000-year-old soul bone?

You should know that even he doesn't have such a thing as a domain.

At this moment, even though Gu Xuan was his own grandson, he couldn't help but feel envious.

Seeing Gu Rong's envious and jealous expression, Gu Xuan's lips curled up slightly, thinking, "Let's see who makes a fool of themselves."

However, only those within the family know their own situation; how could the soul skill of this soul bone possibly be a domain-type skill?

This soul bone skill was originally just a soul skill of Gu Xuan's body.

It is called: Flame Overlord Body.

Increases all attributes by four times and grants immunity to control skills upon activation.

However, under the infusion of the Dragon Talisman, the Flame Body was forced to extend into a raging fire domain.

Any element within the domain will be transformed into nourishment for the fire element.

Although it lacks the conceptual ability to suppress combat power and differs from regular domains, anyone within its domain will experience a slight impact on their strength under the suppression of flames.

What surprised him most was that, after being modified by the Dragon Talisman, this soul bone could no longer be considered an ordinary soul bone.

He and Gu Xuan completely merged, forming something similar to an external soul bone.
