"And…"
He paused for a moment. After deliberating for a short while, Dai Weisi still decided to come out and say it. In any case, even if he didn't speak up, given the worldly experience of the group, they would certainly be able to guess the truth.
He was seen to say faintly, "And, in addition to the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring, I also absorbed its left arm soul bone. That is the reason why my soul power was able to increase by such a large amount."
Boom—
As soon as these words were spoken, it was undoubtedly another heavyweight bombshell, which suddenly detonated in the hearts of everyone present.
It was only that the degree of shock was not quite as intense as the one from a moment ago. This was just as Dai Weisi had expected; among everyone present, which one of them was not a person of great knowledge and wide experience? The Titan Giant Ape was a 100,000-year Spirit Beast. In addition to its soul ring, it was also inevitable that it would drop a 100,000-year soul bone.
Because of this, everyone had already guessed that Dai Weisi had definitely obtained a 100,000-year soul bone. The only thing that they hadn't anticipated was that Dai Weisi would actually reveal this fact so directly and openly.
This action could not help but make them feel deeply moved. To dare to speak about such an important matter, it clearly showed that Dai Weisi did not treat them as outsiders.
This was especially true for the Blazing Sun Douluo and Ning Tianyu. They were from the Clear Sky Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, respectively. Logically speaking, this kind of information should have been kept secret from them, but Dai Weisi had told them directly instead, which moved them greatly.
"Brother Crown Prince, you… you actually obtained a 100,000-year-old soul bone!"
Ning Tianyu's eyes lit up instantly. Although she had already been staying in the Star Luo Empire for more than three years, she had never, for a moment, forgotten her mission.
That mission was to use a 'honey trap' to seduce Dai Weisi, to become his 'pillow companion' (intimate partner), and thereby obtain Dai Weisi's full support. This would allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to expand and develop within the Star Luo Empire.
From the very beginning, she had been more than willing to carry out this task. Becoming the Star Luo Royal Consort, regardless of whether it was for her own benefit or for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, was an excellent opportunity. What girl in the world doesn't want to marry a man who is tall, rich, handsome, and also a good husband?
Now, after personally witnessing Dai Weisi's absolutely terrifying cultivation talent, Ning Tianyu's heart grew even more frenzied. She became determined that as soon as she returned to the Star Luo Empire, she absolutely must manufacture many more opportunities to be alone with Dai Weisi. Even if she had to resort to using drugs, to 'cook the raw rice into cooked rice' (force an irreversible situation), she would not shrink back from it.
"Brother Dai Weisi, what is your eighth soul skill?" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but ask. "A 100,000-year soul ring, it must have granted you two powerful soul skills, right?"
As soon as this question was asked, the gazes of everyone present immediately gathered and focused on Dai Weisi. They couldn't help but cast curious glances in his direction. It was obvious that they were all extremely curious as to what kind of two soul skills one of the two great Emperor Spirit Beasts, the Titan Giant Ape, had actually bestowed upon Dai Weisi.
Seeing this, the corner of Dai Weisi's mouth hooked up slightly, and he smiled faintly. "Hehe, since everyone is this curious, then I suppose I will give you all a demonstration. However, you all must move much farther away from me. The power of both of these soul skills is far too astonishing!"
While speaking, Dai Weisi began to circulate his soul power, releasing his Sacred Venerable White Tiger's soul rings. One yellow, two purple, three black, and two red. A total of eight soul rings emerged in sequence, floating slowly at his feet. The two bright red, 100,000-year soul rings were exceptionally dazzling to the eye.
All of a sudden, that resplendent and eye-catching eighth soul ring abruptly erupted with a magnificent light. The Power of the Earth from a radius of several thousand meters began to converge around Dai Weisi, where it was being manipulated by him as easily as if it were his own arms and fingers.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Power of the Earth!"
Dai Weisi let out an explosive shout. Accompanied by a series of "hong hong hong" sounds, the ground within a radius of several thousand meters began to tremble violently. It was as if an earthquake were erupting, as the ground cracked inch by inch, presenting a scene of the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting asunder.
Whether the heavens were collapsing or not, no one knew, but the ground was most definitely splitting open. The cracking of the earth was only the beginning. In an instant, countless earthen spikes, as sharp as longspears, erupted from the ground. With the speed of a thunderbolt, they completely encircled Dai Tianxing and the others!
This was only because Dai Weisi had intentionally controlled the attack direction of the earthen spikes. Otherwise, these spikes would not have done something as simple as just surrounding Dai Tianxing and the group. Instead, they would have directly, and with lightning-fast speed, skewered them all alive, turning them into human hedgehogs, puncturing countless bloody holes in their bodies!
"Grandfather, Grandmother, this is the first soul skill from my eighth soul ring: Power of the Earth!"
After the demonstration was over, Dai Weisi smiled and explained, "This is an extremely practical and versatile soul skill. It can condense the surrounding Power of the Earth to form earthen spikes for an attack, it can also condense earthen walls for defense, and it can even create deep pitfalls to restrict land-based Soul Masters."
"Mm… It can defend, it can attack, and it can control. It is truly a rare and invaluable soul skill!" Dai Tianxing said, still feeling a lingering fear. The speed at which those earthen spikes had erupted just now was as fast as lightning. Fortunately, Dai Weisi was only putting on a performance and didn't actually intend to attack them.
Otherwise, if he had suddenly launched a sneak attack, in that hurried and unprepared moment, Dai Tianxing was not confident he could have dodged the piercing of those earthen spikes. He feared that before he could even release his Spirit, he would have been skewered alive into a hedgehog by hundreds of those spikes.
With this one soul skill, Dai Weisi now possessed the strength of 'one man holding the pass, ten thousand men cannot get through'! Dai Tianxing couldn't help but make this evaluation in his heart. To be able to turn the surrounding ground to his own use… it was simply the bane of all cavalry.
Just think about it: on a flat plain, as one hundred thousand cavalrymen were launching a charge, if countless spear-like earthen spikes suddenly stabbed up from underfoot, what an astronomical level of casualties would that cause?
Dai Tianxing dared to say that if such a cavalry army ever encountered Dai Weisi, just by using this single move, he would be able to completely annihilate their entire army!
"Dai Weisi, that is the first soul skill from your eighth soul ring. So, what is the second soul skill?"
"Grandfather, the second soul skill from my eighth soul ring is a single-target attack of immense power. It is named the White Tiger Vajra Fist!"
As he spoke, the eighth soul ring flashed once more. Dai Weisi bent his legs, sinking deep into a horse stance. The Power of the Earth from several thousand meters around began to slowly gather onto both of his fists, in time with his breathing. At the same time, he himself was continuously condensing his own soul power.
Earth engenders Metal. The Power of the Earth was of the earth attribute. More and more of this Power of the Earth converged upon his fists, where it was then transformed into the fierce, tyrannical, and indomitable Ultimate Gold.
And all of this was completed in a mere instant. At this very moment, Dai Weisi's fists were shimmering with a blinding golden light. He tilted his head back and let out a great roar.
"Eighth Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Fist!"
As he shouted, Dai Weisi shot forward in an arrow-step. His movement technique was agile, his speed astonishingly fast. Within the span of a single breath, he had arrived in front of a tall mountain cliff. Condensing the full strength of his entire body, he blasted a deliberate, powerful punch against that hard rock wall!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This one punch was heaven-shaking and earth-shattering! This one punch was domineering to the absolute extreme!
When that fist, which struck like a falling meteorite, smashed heavily against the rock wall, the entire mountain cliff instantly emitted a deafening, explosive sound. The earth itself trembled violently.
In an instant, dust and dirt flew everywhere. A thick cloud of dust and smoke completely obscured everyone's line of sight. Only when the smoke suddenly began to dissipate did Dai Tianxing and the others discover, to their horror, that the surface of the rock wall was now densely covered in cracks. The sight was enough to trigger a person's trypophobia.
Immediately after, only a loud peng was heard, another explosive sound. From that thousand-meter-high mountain cliff, a heavy, massive boulder, measuring several hundred meters tall and a full ten zhang thick, suddenly broke free and fell.
In the very instant that this giant boulder crashed to the ground, with a deafening hong sound, the boulder instantly fractured, exploding into a sky full of shattered rubble. The debris rained down, covering the heavens and the earth, as if a violent hailstorm had suddenly descended.
"What… what a terrifying punch. That single punch… it was truly heaven-shaking and earth-shattering!"
"The White Tiger Vajra Fist… it truly and completely lives up to its name!"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly muttered to herself in a low voice, "If Brother Dai Weisi were to use his soul bones and his domains for amplification, and also performed the Ring Fusion technique… and then activated the White Tiger Vajra Fist… what kind of absolutely terrifying ultimate move would that be?"
No one in the group was deaf. These words were heard clearly by Dai Tianxing and all the others. As soon as this remark was made, every person present felt a chill of horror in their hearts.
If that were truly the case… it was feared that even a god would not dare to personally receive that heaven-shaking punch, would they?
