Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 894 Paired Soul Bones
At this time, Zhu Wuneng and Ma Liang's soul ring absorption process was still in full swing.

Rich energy fluctuations surrounded their bodies, and the light of their soul rings intertwined with their martial spirits, engaging in a silent conversation.

In that fiery red cave, the purple soul ring glowed, and the soul power contained in it flowed down like a stream.

Ma Wencai was sweating profusely, and the sweat was trickling down his body like a stream, slowly overflowing from his body, soaking the loose hair on his forehead, which was shining.

…………

The scene goes back to two hours ago.

In Ma Wencai's eyes, determination shone like stars. The absorption of the soul ring this time was of great significance and vital importance to him.

Chen Xiaojun looked at Ma Wencai's determined eyes and nodded secretly in his heart.

Although Ma Wencai seems quiet on weekdays, he has an indomitable fighting spirit in his heart.

"Wencai, remember, no matter how big the difficulties and challenges are, you must persevere." Chen Xiaojun said earnestly.

"Your martial spirit has extraordinary potential. As long as you can continue to explore and develop it, you will surely achieve extraordinary success in the future."

When Ma Wencai heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He looked at Chen Xiaojun gratefully, nodded, and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Xiaojun. I will definitely work hard."

After saying that, Ma Wen took a deep breath and began to adjust his breathing and mentality to fully prepare for the upcoming soul ring absorption.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to guide the fifteen hundred year old Blazing-Winged Luan soul ring towards himself.

As the soul ring gradually approached, a strong energy wave began to spread around him.

Ma Wencai gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the impact of this energy.

His body was shaking, but his will was extremely firm.

He cannot give up, because this is not only for himself, but also for those who have always supported and encouraged him.

Finally, after an extremely arduous struggle, Ma Wen successfully absorbed the soul ring of the Fiery Winged Luan.

A dazzling light emanated from his body, as if he had been reborn.

………………

Witnessing the tragic scene of his beloved son's soul returning to the sky and his soul ring slowly rising, Yan Yu Xiong Luan's eyes were instantly dyed red by flames of anger and sadness.

It had never expected that after all its painstaking efforts and traveling so far away to search for rare treasures for future generations, it would be greeted with such a bolt from the blue when it returned.

In an instant, the Flame Feather Luan flapped its wings and flew high, activating its innate skill - "Fire Feather Storm".

I saw it flapping its flaming wings violently. Every feather seemed to contain the essence of the sun. After leaving its body, they turned into blazing flames and quickly gathered into a vortex of fire that covered the sky and the sun.

The vortex collided head-on with the sharp sword energy net formed by Chen Bin and Chen Shurui, like the most gorgeous fireworks between heaven and earth, but hiding a deadly threat, and energy ripples raged.

In this collision of power, Gao Cuilan's mood was extremely tense. She could almost hear the echo of her own heartbeat. She murmured without hesitation: "Third Soul Skill - Ring Shadow Guardian!"

Before he finished speaking, a protective halo of golden brilliance and silver tenderness suddenly bloomed in the sky.

As it slowly rotated, it flowed down like liquid metal, instantly enveloping Zhu Wuneng and Ma Liang, forming a protective barrier to resist the fluctuations of battle.

And Yanyu Xiongluan, the overlord of the sky, displayed amazing flexibility. He moved freely in the gaps between the flames and sword energy in the sky, cleverly avoiding the fierce confrontation in the sky, and then swooped down again like lightning, possessed by flames and with a sense of determination.

Facing this thunderous blow, Chen Xiaojun looked solemn, but remained calm. He shouted in a low voice: "First soul skill advanced skill - Twin Swords!"

The biggest feature of this soul skill is its speed.

In an instant, the Chengying Sword and the Hanguang Sword seemed to leap out of the void, cutting through the sky with unparalleled speed.

Their trajectory was almost unpredictable, leaving only two silver flashes. This was a perfect combination of speed and strength, leaving Yanyu Xiongluan with no escape.

The two swords accurately hit the outstretched wings of Yanyu Xiongluan. With two loud "bangs", Yanyu Xiongluan was blown backwards by the powerful impact and flew several meters away. Brief sparks ignited on its wings, showing that this attack was extraordinary.

Just as it was trying hard to steady its body, Su Ningxia's Fire Phoenix had quietly arrived. Its huge body, wrapped in blazing flames, suddenly appeared in front of Yanyu Xiongluan.

"Third soul skill - Green Haze Huaguang Ling, come!"

A ray of green light penetrated into the body of the Fire Phoenix, and then it suddenly spread its wings and let out a phoenix cry that pierced through the sky.

This cry seemed to penetrate the shackles of time and space, making everyone present feel a shock from the depths of their souls.

The Fire Phoenix's body began to swell, emitting a dazzling light, like a burning flame, illuminating the entire sky. Every feather exuded a scorching breath that made people dare not look directly at it.

"Go!" Su Ningxia shouted, and the Fire Phoenix cut through the sky like a meteor, roaring towards Yanyu Xiongluan with a scorching breath and destructive power.

Yan Yu Xiong Luan felt this powerful threat, and a hint of fear flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

It flapped its wings with all its might and flew high, trying to avoid the fatal blow.

However, the Fire Phoenix was so fast that it caught up with Yanyu Xiongluan almost in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a deafening roar, a mixture of red, orange and green light suddenly exploded beside Yanyu Xiongluan, like a gorgeous but deadly firework.

The power of the explosion was extremely strong, and the shock wave it produced caused Yan Yu Xiong Luan to stagger and almost lose his balance.

Its originally gorgeous wings were now licked by the flames, leaving mottled charred holes and emitting a suffocating burnt smell. At the same time, blood was oozing from the wounds, dripping like a trickle.

The aftermath of the explosion spread out in all directions like a tide, creating waves of air.

Chen Xiaojun was quick-witted and quick-handed, and quickly used the "Yin Yang Mysterious Shield".

The large shield containing the power of yin and yang firmly blocked the raging shock wave and protected them from harm.

"Third Soul Skill - Golden Centipede Thousand Splitting Thorns"

At the same time, Dugu Fu's figure flashed, his whole body was shining with golden light, and countless sharp golden centipede thorns burst out from his body, like golden meteors flying in the sky.

The golden light drew smooth and elegant arcs in the air and pierced into the body of Yanyu Xiongluan accurately.

These centipede spines are not only extremely sharp, but also contain strong neurotoxins. They spread rapidly in the body of the Flame Feather Male Luan, causing continuous bleeding and paralysis, which doubled the pain of the male Luan.

This is a soul skill from the Six-Winged Golden Centipede, a ninth-grade soul beast, so it can pierce the body protected by the feathers of the Fiery-Winged Spirit Luan.

This is also thanks to the great help of the Chen family. They helped Dugu Fu find this precious soul beast, replacing the original human-faced demon spider, which made his poison skills have a qualitative leap.

Just at this moment, Chen Mu stood tall and rose into the air, like a dragon soaring into the sky, and the style of "Fourteen Swords of Lonely Peak - Lonely Sky Meteorite" was displayed.

In an instant, his soul power and spiritual strength gathered at the tip of the sword like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, and condensed into a condensed and sharp silver sword light, shining brightly.

Then, he suddenly swung the sword in his hand. The sword light was like lightning, cutting through the void. In the flash, a subtle thought quietly spread. It was the way of nirvana, enough to annihilate all things. Wherever it touched, nothing was undestroyed, and nothing was indestructible.

The sword was like a meteor, cutting through the sky and piercing the clouds. It was fierce, bold and decisive.

The sense of annihilation gradually spread as the sword light extended, pointing directly at the heart and vital points of Chiyu Xiongluan.

However, facing this fatal blow, how could Akabane Luan just sit there and wait to die?
In an instant, a tremendous wave of energy surged in his body. This power was like a volcanic eruption and boiling magma, surging in his body and transforming into a dazzling ball of light, incomparably hot, like a star burning with blazing flames.

The ball of light rushed towards the silver sword light at lightning speed. When the two collided, smoke suddenly rose up, covering the sky and the sun.

At this moment, with two "swoosh" sounds, Chen Xiaojun's twin swords shone again, turning into two silver lightnings. The sword light flashed and bypassed the dust and smoke.

"Bang bang" this time two shocking big holes were left on Yanyu Xiongluan's body. Blood gushed out like a fountain, dyeing the air around it red.

Yanyu Xiongluan let out a shrill roar.

When Dugu Fu saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He did not feel the slightest sympathy for Yan Yu Xiong Luan's miserable situation.

The golden centipede thorns once again drew denser arcs in the air. Every hit increased Yanyu Xiongluan's pain and his vitality was lost more quickly.

Chen Xiaojun's twin swords shuttled across the battlefield like ghosts. Each of his attacks was precise and deadly. He was engaged in a silent contest with Yanyu Xiongluan, competing in skill and speed.

Soon, although the Flame-Winged Male Luan was seriously injured and dying, it glanced sadly at the cold body of its child, then flapped its wings and tried to fly.

"Hmph, you want to escape? Not that easy!" Chen Xiaojun snorted coldly.

A deep black soul ring rose above his body.

"Fifth Soul Skill - Blue Lotus Descends!"

In an instant, a majestic star dragon blue lotus appeared out of thin air, its shape was elegant and mysterious, the lotus leaves were emerald green, like jade carvings, sparkling with star-like light; the lotus was deep and dark green, and the petals were layered like jade, and dragon-shaped light and shadow could be vaguely seen swimming between the stamens, exuding a faint and elegant dragon breath, slowly pressing down from the sky, enveloping the red-feathered male phoenix.

This green lotus contained a huge amount of star power, which turned into countless threads of confinement. It was even more terrifying than Gao Cuilan's restraints, making Yan Yu Xiong Luan almost unable to move. He was tightly locked by invisible shackles and imprisoned on this bloody battlefield.

The soul skills produced by the soul ring of a 50,000-year-old top-grade soul beast are extremely terrifying.

At the same time, the sword energy of Chen Bin and Chen Shurui surged like a tide, dense and unstoppable, and fiercely hit the Yanyu Xiongluan who was already covered with scars.

How miserable it is.

A hint of despair flashed in its eyes, but was immediately replaced by resentment.

It knew that it had no way out.

So, it made a decision - to burn its soul, release its last bit of strength, and expand its body dramatically.

The silk thread that bound the Star Dragon Green Lotus made snapping sounds and began to break continuously.

Chen Xiaojun glanced at it, and heard Chen Shurui shouting beside him: "It's going to self-destruct! Stop it!"

"Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, a perfect match!" Chen Xiaojun shouted in a low voice.

I saw the Gan Jiang Sword and the Mo Ye Sword floating in the air, reflecting each other, and finally merging into a giant sword that was shining with dazzling light.

This giant sword carried all of Chen Xiaojun's strength and will, and it rushed towards Yanyu Xiongluan like a meteor.

At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to have stopped, with only the whistling sound of the giant sword cutting through the air echoing.

When the giant sword finally hit Yanyu Xiongluan, the terrifying destructive force and divine erosion power erupted, completely tearing Yanyu Xiongluan's huge body into two halves. Blood and flames intertwined together, forming a tragic and shocking picture.

At the same time, a mournful and blood-soaking sound was heard from afar.

…………

After seven or eight minutes, the battlefield fell silent, leaving only the remains of two larger Fiery-Winged Luan and two dark rings floating in the air. Everyone was gasping for breath, and the air was filled with the afterglow of the battle.

Zhang Ci folded the dim wings behind him in a slightly embarrassed manner, and cast a complex and profound gaze at Chen Xiaojun. He had never expected that even the Blazing Winged Luan, who had 30,000 years of cultivation and was equivalent to a high-level Soul Emperor, would be quickly chopped down and killed by the joint efforts of Chen Xiaojun and others. The scene was so shocking that it was beyond imagination.

Especially Chen Xiaojun, the fighting power he displayed was so strong that it was not much inferior even to himself as a mid-level Soul Emperor. No wonder he was so comfortable and extraordinary in the Intermediate Soul Master Elite Competition.

There were colorful lights flowing in Chen Xiaojun's eyes, which was the result of him activating the five elements secret power in his eyes.

He stared at the remains of the Blazing-Winged Luan, feeling secretly sorry that this Blazing-Winged Luan did not match the attributes of his martial soul.

He walked forward slowly, and with a flash of sword light, he cut a hole in the side of Yu Lingluan's body, and a piece of soul bone as red as flame appeared, which he picked up gently.

He had noticed early on that the body was unusual.

Chen Shurui, who was standing by, cried out in surprise: "Soul bone!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, then their faces blossomed with joy. Just as they were about to cheer, they saw Chen Xiaojun turned and walked towards the body of the other female phoenix, and swung his sword again.

"Sure enough!"

Another soul bone lay there quietly, echoing the previous one.

Su Ningxia wrinkled her nose and asked curiously, "Master, what is going on?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly and explained: "The Blazing Winged Spiritual Luan was inseparable during life, and it remains the same after death."

"Their soul bones either do not appear, or appear in pairs, and there is some mysterious connection between the two soul bones."

Su Ningxia heard this and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Is there such a strange thing?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded and said with emotion: "Love is stronger than gold. Soul beasts like this are more persistent than us humans in some aspects."

At this time, Zhu Wuneng and Ma Liang's soul ring absorption was almost complete.

The soul rings slowly merged into their bodies. The two opened their eyes and slowly stood up, with satisfied smiles in their tiredness.

Obviously, they were quite satisfied with the absorption of the spirit ring this time.

Ma Liang looked around, a warm smile bloomed on his face, and then he bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Sixth brother, and everyone else, thank you so much!"

Although they were immersed in the absorption of the spirit ring just now, they still maintained a keen sense of the movements around them, so such a loud noise could not be hidden from them.

Zhu Wuneng yelled, "Why are you thanking me? Why are you going through all this red tape? We are all family. You help me today, and I help you tomorrow. It's only natural."

Ma Liang smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't lose your manners."

Zhu Wuneng curled his lips and said, "Xiao Liangzi, you are very different from before. I remember how free and unrestrained you were back then. How come you have become so fussy now?"

Ma Liang's eyes were as calm as water, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but he did not reply.

Zhu Wuneng snorted, "Boring."

Seeing that Zhu Wuneng and Ma Liang’s strength increased greatly after obtaining spirit rings, Chen Xiaojun felt relieved.

"Very good, I have seen the progress of both of you." Chen Xiaojun nodded approvingly.

"Remember, while your strength is improving, your mentality and wisdom are equally important."

"Thank you, Young Master (Sixth Brother), I'll take note of it!" the two said in unison.

At this time, Ma Wencai slowly walked out of the cave. His steps were somewhat calm, but there were quite a few beads of sweat on his body.

Ma Liang hurried forward and asked with concern: "Second brother, why are you so happy? Have you absorbed the third soul ring?"

Ma Wencai smiled brightly and nodded gently: "Yes, a 1500-year soul ring."

When Ma Liang heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward and looked at Ma Wencai carefully, trying to see through the changes in his body.

"Second brother, a 1500-year spirit ring, okay, okay."

Ma Wencai smiled slightly, with a confident light in his eyes, "Indeed, with this spirit ring, my strength has been further improved."

"However, this is far from enough. I still need to work hard to catch up with you."

Zhu Wuneng was listening at the side, laughing, "Wencai, you really didn't let us down. It seems that we have to work harder in the future, otherwise we will be left behind by you."

Ma Wencai felt a little weak, "Wuneng, you are joking, I am just chasing, chasing."

Chen Mu laughed, "Bajie was just teasing you, you are too honest."

The name Bajie has spread since it came out of Chen Xiaojun's mouth.

Chen Xiaojun looked at Ma Wencai's refreshed look and couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

Ma Liang put his arm around Ma Wencai's shoulders, and said with a hint of pride, "Brother, I knew you could do it. From now on, the three of us brothers will work together to create the glory that belongs to our Ma family!"

Ma Wencai nodded heavily, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, "Well, I will definitely work hard!"

Although this challenge was difficult, he persisted and reaped the rewards.

It will take 1500 years for the third soul ring to gradually catch up with the geniuses and achieve the best soul ring configuration.

Yes, the best spirit ring configuration is three rings for a thousand years, and five rings for ten thousand years.

If the Third Ring fails to reach the threshold of a thousand years, the vision of the Fifth Ring for ten thousand years will be like a mirage.

To be precise, if the third soul ring is less than 1300 years old, forget about the fifth soul ring lasting ten thousand years.

Only the solid 1300-year foundation of the third ring can support the 4000-year leap of the fourth ring, and then enable the fifth ring to barely withstand the baptism of the ten-thousand-year soul ring.

The importance of the baptism of the ten thousand year spirit ring is self-evident. For aristocratic spirit masters with sixth-grade spirits and above, unless there are special reasons, the best spirit ring configuration is their common and necessary pursuit.

At the same time, only the accumulation of five rings for ten thousand years can lay a solid foundation for the nine rings for eighty thousand years in the future.

In fact, it is said that the truly best spirit ring configuration is the supreme realm of nine rings and one hundred thousand years, otherwise how could it be called the "best".

However, in the soul master world, the number of soul masters who can reach this level is so low that they cannot even be counted on the palm of one hand.

Therefore, many soul masters can only settle for the second best and try their best to pursue the closer best path.

…………

Zhu Wuneng looked at the two soul bones shining brightly in Chen Xiaojun's hands, "Soul bones?!"

"Sixth brother, how should these two soul bones be distributed?" Chen Bin asked.

There was a hint of caution in his words. After all, the value of soul bones was immeasurable, and improper distribution might cause unnecessary disputes.

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly. He had already made a plan: "These two soul bones are a pair. They are 30,000 years old. Who wants them?"

At this time, Chen Bin and Chen Shurui walked forward side by side, and their eyes lingered on the two soul bones for a moment.

Then they all shook their heads at the same time, with a hint of regret in their tone: "Alas, this soul bone does not match our attributes, it seems that we are not destined to have it."

Seeing this, Chen Xiaojun smiled and looked around at everyone, then asked softly, "What about you guys? Do you want anything?"

As soon as the words fell, silence enveloped the scene. Everyone looked at each other, and tacitly did not step forward.

Chen Mu chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "I'll let it go too. Lao Liu, you've made a great effort this time, so you should decide how to distribute it."

Zhu Wuneng lowered his head and examined the two arm bones, frowning slightly: "These should be arm soul bones. I can take the leg bones, but this arm bone... I have to reluctantly give it up."

As the most important titled seed cultivated by the Zhu family, what he needs is the most suitable soul bone, rather than the inferior products that he reluctantly accepts, which he despises.

Chen Xiaojun said "hmm" softly, then turned around and left, leaving behind a few words: "I didn't say I would give it to you."

Zhu Wuneng pursed his lips, looking a little disheveled, guessing he had expressed the wrong feelings.

Dugu Fu was laughing so hard that he fell backwards. When he saw Chen Xiaojun's gaze, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Master, you know me. This thing is not poisonous and it doesn't suit my style. I'd better leave it to those who need it."

Gao Cuilan and Su Ningxia covered their mouths and laughed, then shook their heads, politely declining the good intention.

Chen Xiaojun sighed helplessly, then walked up to Ma Liang and Ma Wencai and said, "Okay, now it's just the two of you left. Don't tell me you don't want it either."

Ma Liang lowered his head and pondered for a moment. When he looked up, there was a trace of embarrassment in his eyes: "This... This is really not suitable for us. We didn't help much in the process of killing soul beasts."

Ma Wencai also quickly agreed, "Yes, Xiaojun, I am already very satisfied to be able to get the spirit ring of the Blazing Winged Spirit Luan with you. I really can't be greedy anymore."

How could they not know, despite the other people's refusal, that a 30,000-year soul bone, even if it was not suitable, could still be used and even exchanged.

Chen Xiaojun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and handed the soul bone to him without question: "We are all from the same team, so don't be polite."

"And your spirit rings are also from the Blazing Winged Luan, and they match the attributes of your martial spirits. Take them!"

Chen Mu also patted their shoulders and said with a smile: "Take it. You won't have to fight with us for good soul bones in the future."

Others also started to offer their advice, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

In the end, Ma Liang gritted his teeth and took the soul bone.

He bowed deeply to everyone, and Ma Wencai hurriedly followed suit.

However, next, Ma Liang turned around and handed both soul bones to Ma Wencai.

Ma Wencai widened his eyes in surprise: "Xiaoliang, what are you doing..."

Ma Liang smiled and said, "These come in pairs, and are best used by one person, and you need them more than I do to improve your strength."

Ma Wencai waved his hands repeatedly, looking somewhat at a loss: "This...how can this be done?"

"You are the genius of the family. Everyone has high hopes for you. These soul bones should be given to you."

Ma Liang shook his head slightly, with a hint of firmness in his tone: "Third brother, don't refuse."

"My family has prepared several inheritance soul bones for me, but these are really useless to me."

Indeed, as the first genius of the Ma family, the Ma family has already prepared several inherited soul bones for him.

But Ma Wencai is different. His resources are completely incomparable. He relies entirely on his second uncle Ma Zhibin. However, his second uncle has been in debt for Ma Wencai in recent years. Even the soul bone he obtained a few years ago was pawned to his family.

Two thirty thousand year old soul bones, in pair, with all the right attributes, were a godsend for Ma Wencai.
