Chapter 66: Tang Hao: Where's my huge soul bone?
Bang!
The spear tip, full of force, stabbed solidly in front of Yan, who fortunately was protected by a hard stone armor and did not suffer much damage.
But even though he wasn't injured, Su Yun's spear thrust was not weak. Just one thrust pushed Yan several steps back!
Such strong force! Yan's face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized that he had underestimated Su Yun in front of him.
Su Yun had only used his second soul skill in the gap when Yan couldn't react, forcing Yan into a defensive position.
However, Su Yun's real trump card was still his first soul skill.
"His soul skill not only slows down my movements, but even the speed of my soul power circulation has decreased!" Yan felt the changes in his body and was greatly shocked.
Su Yun's first soul skill, Blue Silver Flying Leaves, had a 30% slowing effect. With his soul power breaking through the level 20 barrier, the slowing effect of his first soul skill had increased to 35%.
"It's these leaves, I must get rid of them first!" Yan reacted quickly. As long as he used his first soul skill again to burn off the Blue Silver Flying Leaves on his body, Su Yun's first soul skill would naturally be broken.
However, Yan's thoughts were already clear to Su Yun.
He wouldn't give Yan a chance to counterattack.
There was only one minute left in the match.
This minute was enough for him to render Yan unable to fight back.
Swoosh! Su Yun sprang into action, his whole body brimming with fighting spirit. He swung his long spear mercilessly at Yan, not giving Yan a chance to release his soul skill.
Su Yun's smooth and fluid spear techniques, one after the other, left Yan with no choice but to retreat.
His situation now was exactly like Tang San's when he first fought with Su Yun.
Su Yun's first soul skill was all about a quick kill.
With both parties having low soul power levels and unaware of Su Yun's soul skill, he used his first soul skill to suddenly slow down the opponent. Taking advantage of the opponent's stunned moment, he closed in quickly and used his spear skills.
With his smooth and Dove-like spear skills, hardly any opponent could counterattack successfully under his tight attack.
This move was a favorite of Su Yun's.
Bang! Su Yun's final spear thrust pushed Yan back several steps, then he smiled and said, "Senior Yan, the three minutes are up."
Yan was about to counterattack when he heard Su Yun's words, and his expression froze.
He turned to look at the surrounding students, who all nodded silently.
Three minutes, no more, no less.
Su Yun timed his final attack perfectly. Although he didn't knock Yan out of the ring, according to Yan's own words, he had lost.
"So frustrating to lose like this!" Yan retracted his martial soul, clearly displeased.
Losing was losing, and Yan naturally wouldn't make excuses.
But thinking about how he was defeated by Su Yun made him feel uneasy.
Seeing Yan's expression, Su Yun just smiled.
Indeed, if he had lost in this manner, he would also be frustrated.
The students watching were shocked to see Yan admit his defeat to Su Yun.
"Yan really lost?"
"Su Yun is so amazing to defeat Yan!"
"What a pity, if Yan could have used his third soul skill, Su Yun's soul skill effect would have been nullified."
"Anyway, Su Yun won against Yan."
"His spear skills are amazing, even better than some of our spear martial soul students."
"His basics are solid, and the rhythm of his spear thrusts is good, always forcing Yan to be on the defensive with no chance to do anything else."
"..."
The surrounding students discussed animatedly. Hu Liena and Yan then stepped onto the ring where Yan and Su Yun had fought.
As soon as Hu Liena arrived, she hugged Su Yun and pulled him into her embrace, excitedly saying, "Little junior brother, you are so amazing to defeat Yan, here, sister rewards you with a kiss."
Su Yun couldn't dodge in time and was left with a fragrant mark on his forehead by Hu Liena.
Yan stood aside, trembling at the scene!
Furious! He had chased Nana for so long without even touching her hand, and this kid got a hug and a kiss from her.
Damn it!
"Come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"
ヽ(#`Д)┌┛〃
Seeing Yan's eyes almost bulging out, Xie Yue immediately stepped forward to stop him from acting rashly.
At the same time, Xie Yue also turned to Su Yun with a question he couldn't figure out: "Junior Su Yun, when did you release your second soul skill just now? Why didn't we see you use it?"
As Xie Yue asked, Yan
and Hu Liena's expressions also became serious.
They had been pondering the same question.
Especially Yan, who had personally experienced it, had not noticed where the countless Blue Silver Flying Leaves had come from.
Su Yun smiled and didn't speak, but pointed to a spot on the grassy ring.
Xie Yue and the others looked in the direction Su Yun was pointing, and the next second, Yan's surprised voice suddenly rang out:
"How is that possible?!"
"My flames should have already..."
Yan saw the pit left from his and Su Yun's first round of attacks had already been repaired, and even Blue Silver Grass similar to Su Yun's martial soul was growing there. His face showed immense shock.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena had equally spectacular expressions.
"It's simple, my second soul skill can create a similar environment and assimilate other plants."
"The repair of that pit is due to the life force in the Blue Silver Emperor Tree, which allowed a large amount of Blue Silver Grass to grow."
"These plants, catalyzed by me, can release my first soul skill."
"So from the very beginning of your fight with me, Senior Yan, my second soul skill had already been quietly released." Su Yun explained simply, and Xie Yue and the others finally understood.
After hearing this, Yan's face also showed a bitter smile.
He hadn't expected that Su Yun, a mere seven-year-old kid, had calculated him from the very start of their match.
How embarrassing.
"Alright, since the match is over, junior brother Su Yun, sister will take you to your dormitory now." Seeing Yan's expression, Hu Liena knew he couldn't relieve his feelings with her there, so she quickly took Su Yun away from the ring.
After Hu Liena and Su Yun left, Xie Yue teased his companion: "You're not going to be hit hard by this, are you?"
After a moment of silence, Yan finally shook his head: "No."
"That's good. I was really afraid you'd be traumatized by that battle."
"How could I be? I was just careless."
Yan reflected on his match with Su Yun and said solemnly: "If I hadn't been playing cat and mouse and had pursued Su Yun relentlessly from the start, with his current strength, he wouldn't have lasted a minute in my hands."
"Anyway, a loss is a loss."
"I'm not someone who can't handle losing," Yan declared.
Xie Yue, seeing his friend's demeanor, nodded affirmatively.
"But that guy just got kissed by Nana and even hugged her. Next time, I'll definitely seek revenge (\`(ロ)／)!" Yan said vehemently, watching Su Yun's fading figure.
Xie Yue: "…"
…
After bringing Su Yun to the dormitory, Hu Liena thoughtfully prepared daily necessities like blankets for him, showing meticulous care.
Finally, after discussing many of the academy's regulations with Su Yun, she reluctantly left.
Since Su Yun was of special status, the academy provided him with a single dormitory, just like Hu Liena's. This was naturally a good thing for Su Yun.
"Silver Sister, is the mission completed?" As soon as Hu Liena left, Su Yun couldn't contain his excitement and asked. The reward for this mission was a soul bone, and even Su Yun couldn't pretend to be calm.
As Su Yun's voice fell, the laughter of Ah Yin echoed in his mind: "Of course, it's completed."
With that, Ah Yin pointed her finger, and a soul bone appeared in Su Yun's hand.
"Is this the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone you left behind, Silver Sister?"
Su Yun looked at the soul bone, filled with a crystal-clear blue and golden hue, his eyes twinkling like stars.
Holding the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Su Yun could feel a life-affirming sensation from the soul bone infiltrating his body.
It seemed to resonate with the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul within him.
"Yes, little Su Yun, I originally planned to save this soul bone for my own child."
"But you know, that beast took over my child's body, and I couldn't possibly allow him to use my soul bone."
"I was worried that Tang Hao might give my soul bone to that beast, but now that it's back in our hands, quickly absorb it."
Ah Yin said excitedly, "Your martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor. Absorbing this right leg bone will not only enhance your physical strength but also elevate your body's healing to another level."
"The key is that it will allow you to fly with minimal soul power!"
Flying in the air!
This ability, besides those with flying martial souls or special soul skills, was only possessed by Title Douluo level experts!
If Su Yun could successfully absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, he could fly in the air with just his twenty-something level soul power!
"Great! I'll start absorbing it now!"
Su Yun immediately climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and placed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone on his right leg. The bone turned into numerous streams of blue and golden mist, enveloping Su Yun's right leg.
A cool and comfortable sensation made Su Yun feel almost ecstatic.
At the same time, Su Yun felt the Blue Silver Emperor tree within him sense the fusion of the right leg bone, sending a surge of life force towards his right leg.
…
Meanwhile, outside Saint Soul Village, in the forest, Tang Hao was leading Tang San to a secret location.
"Dad, where are we going?" Tang San had been training with Tang Hao and had reached the 18th level of soul power.
Tang Hao's teaching method differed from Yu Xiaogang's. He had been honing Tang San's body, building up a foundation before cultivating soul power.
This would not only allow Tang San's body to fully absorb soul power but also let it integrate with every muscle, enhancing his physical strength.
Tang Hao didn't say much, only turning back to say sternly, "Follow me closely."
Tang San tensed up immediately.
Tang Hao led him through numerous twists and turns in the forest. Even with Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, he almost lost track.
Finally, under Tang Hao's guidance, Tang San entered a secret cave.
"Dad, where is this?"
Tang San asked again.
After a long silence, Tang Hao finally said, "This is where I buried your mother."
Boom! Tang San was stunned.
His mother was buried in such a dark and sunless place!
Tang Hao, seeing Tang San's reaction, took him to the Blue Silver Grass grown from Ah Yin's seed.
"To prevent the Spirit Hall from finding out, I had to bury your mother here…"
Tang Hao said a lot, igniting Tang San's anger towards the Spirit Hall!
But if Su Yun were there, he would have scoffed at Tang Hao's words.
In Su Yun's view, whether Tang Hao nurtured Ah Yin's seed by his side or placed it in the territory of the Blue Silver King, it would have been better than in a small cave.
The excuse of fearing discovery by the Spirit Hall seemed weak to Su Yun.
Tang San, unable to discern the loopholes in Tang Hao's words, faced the Blue Silver Grass from Ah Yin's seed, crying and
calling out for his mother.
To the unknowing, it might seem like Tang San was Ah Yin's son.
However, Ah Yin's soul was in Su Yun, and that Blue Silver Emperor was just a shell, unresponsive to Tang San.
Tang Hao seemed to notice the 'discrepancy' with 'Ah Yin' and pulled Tang San back.
"Xiao San, you have a twin martial soul, not only the hope for our family to take revenge on the Spirit Hall, but also to rejuvenate the Hao Tian Sect."
"So, I hope you can pull yourself together, understand?"
Tang Hao's heart was set on overthrowing the Spirit Hall, restoring the fame of the Hao Tian Sect, and making it the most powerful sect in the Douluo Continent.
"Dad, don't worry, I will do my best. I want to avenge Mom!" Determination burned in Tang San's eyes.
"Good! If your mother could hear you, she would be very happy."
Tang Hao praised Tang San and smiled, "Since that's the case, I'll give you the soul bone your mother left for you."
Soul bone?! Tang San was shocked!
He knew very well about soul bones. Both his teachers at the academy and Yu Xiaogang had talked about their power.
A soul bone could grant a soul master at least one additional skill and could be absorbed without soul power limits.
In other words, even someone with only level 1 soul power could absorb a soul bone!
For a soul master, encountering a soul bone in a lifetime was incredibly lucky, especially at a young age.
The thought that his mother had left him a soul bone was beyond his wildest dreams.
Tang San eagerly anticipated what his soul bone would look like.
However, the next moment, a shocked voice suddenly echoed in the cave:
"The soul bone is gone!"
