Bab 156: Chapter 156: Like a Country Bumpkin
Chapter 156: Like a Country Bumpkin
"Hiss…"
Yu Luomian, Yu Yuanshen, and Yu Longwu collectively drew in a breath, contributing notably to the warming climate of the Extreme North.
From a distance, they hadn't fully appreciated the sight of these soul bones. Now, up close, the sheer spectacle was overwhelming. Seven soul bones, each with over ten thousand years of cultivation!
Among them, one even reached a hundred-thousand-year level!
Such power was truly intimidating. The three wisely averted their gaze from the hundred-thousand-year soul bone. Although they wanted it, they knew it wasn't suitable for them. They'd only take it if Kong decided he didn't want it.
Kong, noticing this, silently stowed the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone. This particular soul bone granted two abilities; while one was a flight ability, the other offered remarkable healing powers—so long as one had soul power, they could heal injuries.
If Tang Hao hadn't already been equipped with a full set of soul bones, he wouldn't have accumulated such severe injuries after absorbing this soul bone. On reflection, Tang Hao's downfall might have been due to his lack of "BGM" (background support). Without that particular woman aiding him, his strength was significantly diminished.
"Grandfather is still missing two soul bones—a torso soul bone and a right arm soul bone. You three may each choose one from the remaining," Kong said nonchalantly.
The Haotian Sect's two legacy soul bones included a right arm soul bone, cultivated for over fifty thousand years, ideal for an offensive soul master. The torso soul bone was similarly high-grade, though no one knew exactly where Tang Hao had obtained it.
A former "Child of Destiny," indeed—his soul bone collection had reached a level even ordinary Title Douluo couldn't dream of.
Although these ten-thousand-year soul bones were powerful, Kong wasn't interested in them. Better to gift them to strengthen his allies.
The three of them were briefly taken aback. The Sect Master wasn't still missing three soul bones, was he? How had it become two?
Still, they understood not to question further.
"Thank you, Young Sect Master!"
All three, including Yu Luomian, cupped their hands in gratitude.
Within the clan, soul bones were always prioritized for the strongest, followed by the most talented younger generation, and lastly, the elders. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had only three legacy soul bones, all used to enhance Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen's power. No one held any resentment about it; the stronger the Sect Master, the more confident they were when speaking across the Douluo Continent!
"I'll let Second Chief have my soul bone selection," Yu Yuanshen offered after a glance at Yu Luomian, with no hesitation.
If it hadn't been for absorbing the Unihorn Fire Dragon's soul bone, he wouldn't have broken through to Title Douluo level.
Yu Yuanshen felt deep gratitude towards Yu Luomian.
Besides, Kong had previously claimed a ten-thousand-year soul bone from Tang Hao, which had ultimately gone to Yu Yuanshen.
Adding to that was the newly acquired eighty-thousand-year soul bone of the Unihorn Fire Dragon, making Yu Yuanshen a Title Douluo with two ten-thousand-year soul bones! Giving up his choice of soul bone to Yu Luomian was a small repayment for past favors.
Yu Luomian gave Yu Yuanshen a long, steady look but didn't refuse.
For the sake of appearances, rejecting a ten-thousand-year soul bone was not something he could bring himself to do.
Even if he didn't use it himself, couldn't he pass it to his daughter, Liu Erlong, or his grandson, Yu Tianxin? They were both geniuses, after all!
Even within the same clan, everyone had their own faction and direct lineage. Each wanted their line to become more powerful than the others.
That was also why there was some friction between Yu Luomian and Yu Yuanshen.
Of course, these were internal differences; when facing external threats, they all stood united.
"Fifth Brother, you choose first."
Yu Luomian crossed his arms and said.
He now had two soul bone selection rights, so what harm was there in letting Yu Longwu pick first? Hearing this, Yu Longwu didn't hesitate and chose the head soul bone.
Aside from the torso soul bone, the head soul bone was the most valuable, even if it didn't have the same cultivation level as the other Haotian Sect legacy soul bone.
"You really know how to pick, old fellow!"
Yu Luomian commented with feigned "indignation." Of course, he wasn't truly upset.
Since he'd already let Yu Longwu pick first, choosing the head soul bone was exactly what Yu Luomian had anticipated.
"Heh heh…"
Holding onto the head soul bone, Yu Longwu chuckled without responding.
If he acted overly smug, he'd be in for a smack from Yu Luomian! Back when Yu Luomian was at level 89, he could at least put up a fight. But now that Yu Luomian had reached Title Douluo level? A fight wouldn't end in his favor!
Glancing at the remaining three soul bones, Yu Luomian thought for a moment, then chose the right leg and left arm bones, as they were the most valuable of what remained.
While the right leg soul bone wasn't as valuable as the left leg soul bone, its higher cultivation level made it more valuable than the remaining left leg soul bone.
Seeing this, Kong didn't store the left leg soul bone but said instead, "This torso soul bone and the right arm soul bone should be taken back to the sect by Second Chief."
"As for this left leg soul bone, take it back to the sect as well and gift it to Deputy Sect Master Dugu Bo."
At these words, Yu Luomian, Yu Yuanshen, and Yu Longwu exchanged slightly embarrassed glances—how could they have forgotten about their Deputy Sect Master?
Truth be told, even though Dugu Bo had joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and served as its Deputy Sect Master, he still felt like an outsider.
He rarely concerned himself with sect matters; if he wasn't training, he was on his way to train.
"Yes!"
The three of them harbored no thoughts of keeping these soul bones for themselves; they were just glad that Kong was in a good enough mood to gift them some. If he'd been displeased, they'd have to return whatever they'd taken, no questions asked.
As time passed, the four parted ways again.
Kong returned to Heaven Dou City, where he was now strolling the streets with Raiden Ei.
Watching Raiden Ei's fascination with various "unknown" trinkets, the corner of Kong's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
It was just like that mischievous fox had once said: When Ei goes shopping, she looks like a country girl from the countryside.
Come to think of it, with Raiden Ei's looks, even if she were dressed in a red cotton jacket and padded trousers, her beauty wouldn't be diminished.
"Husband, are you thinking of something strange?"
Hearing this, Kong was startled, losing the intimidating aura he had while taking down Tang Hao. An embarrassed smile spread across his face as he replied, "Ei, it's an illusion—definitely just an illusion!"
"How could I possibly be thinking anything strange?"
Seeing Kong's determined expression, Ei nodded thoughtfully and resumed browsing small items.
Of course, much like a certain god who created currency, she was completely broke.
Seeing this, Kong let out a sigh of relief.
Quickly, he dismissed his earlier thoughts—they were way too dangerous!
"Huh? Isn't that Kong and…"
