Chapter 158: The Blue Silver King Head Soul Bone
Soon, Yang Xiong and Lin Gong arrived at the training ground, preparing to test Yang Xiong's true physical strength.
Yang Xiong immediately summoned his martial soul and soul rings, transforming into a blood-red figure as he quickly charged toward Lin Gong.
Lin Gong appeared very casual, casually waving his hand as countless Purple Glorious Bamboo appeared to block Yang Xiong's path.
Yang Xiong threw a full-force punch at the Purple Glorious Bamboo, which instantly bent under his strength.
However, despite Yang Xiong's immense power, the Purple Glorious Bamboo wasn't completely broken, instead becoming extremely bent.
Yang Xiong was surprised when he saw the bent bamboo suddenly release a powerful rebound force, sending him flying back several meters.
Lin Gong couldn't help but chuckle. "Xiao Xiong, if this is all the power you have, I suggest you forget about a 100,000-year soul ring. But your strength is indeed much stronger than I expected."
Without hesitation, Yang Xiong activated his third and fourth soul rings simultaneously, using his third soul skill, "Raging Tyrannosaurus Fury," and his fourth soul skill, "Dragon Elephant Tough Body."
As both soul skills activated, Yang Xiong's body, which was nearly 1.9 meters tall, immediately expanded. His muscles became incredibly solid, his bones hardened, and his strength and endurance increased by several times. His height also grew to about 2.3 meters in an instant.
Yang Xiong charged at Lin Gong once more, or more precisely, he charged toward Lin Gong's Purple Glorious Bamboo.
Yang Xiong executed a Bone-Crushing Steel Fist, hitting the Purple Glorious Bamboo directly. The previously resilient bamboo shattered into pieces with a single blow.
Even Lin Gong was a little impressed by Yang Xiong's strength. From the perspective of pure strength, it had definitely reached the level of a Soul Douluo.
But in an instant, nine soul rings appeared on Lin Gong's body. Countless Purple Glorious Bamboo sprouted around him, as if to encircle Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate, throwing punch after punch at the Purple Glorious Bamboo. However, every time he destroyed a few bamboo stalks, even more appeared to replace them.
At this moment, Lin Gong directly activated a soul skill. Countless Purple Glorious Bamboo shot toward Yang Xiong like sharp swords. It was his second soul skill: "Purple Bamboo Thousand Stabs."
Yang Xiong gathered all his soul power, especially focusing it on his skin and bones, activating his self-created soul skill: "Steel Bones and Iron Skin."
Countless Purple Glorious Bamboo stabbed into Yang Xiong's body but failed to penetrate his defenses.
Lin Gong was mainly testing Yang Xiong's physical strength and defense, so neither of them used many combat techniques.
After a while, Yang Xiong could feel countless bamboo stabs hitting his body. The skin on his body seemed to be pierced, but he could still barely resist.
Before Yang Xiong could react, all the bamboo swords exploded simultaneously. It was Lin Gong's fourth soul skill: "Purple Glorious Bamboo Explosion."
Yang Xiong felt the explosions around him, as countless bamboo spikes seemed to pierce his body during the explosions.
Facing this attack, Yang Xiong let out a loud roar, releasing endless blood-red energy as he did his best to block the force of the explosions.
Once all the explosions had subsided, Yang Xiong walked out of the smoke, his figure appearing strong and unyielding.
But at that moment, Lin Gong's head emitted a green glow, and Yang Xiong felt as though his entire body was being paralyzed. It was Lin Gong's head soul bone skill: "Mental Paralysis."
Yang Xiong felt his whole body go numb, and his head felt as if it were splitting apart. His soul and soul power seemed to be completely uncontrollable.
But at that moment, Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, and his eyes turned blood-red. A blood-red light shot out from his eyes, which was his Purple Extreme Magic Eyes' Asura God Light.
Lin Gong was taken aback. He hadn't expected Yang Xiong to have such a skill. However, with his Title Douluo-level power, Lin Gong's head emitted another green light. The red and green lights collided in the air, resulting in a huge explosion.
When the scene finally calmed down, Yang Xiong was sitting on the ground, his soul power completely exhausted.
Normally, after using two top-tier enhancement soul skills, Yang Xiong's strength and defense would have been boosted by four times. After using the Asura Body, his strength increased by another three times, meaning that under his Body Martial Soul, his strength was enhanced by 12 times, with defense seeing even more substantial boosts.
With such terrifying enhancements, Yang Xiong's one strike had reached tens of thousands of pounds of force, which was definitely at the Soul Douluo level.
However, Lin Gong was still a Title Douluo-level powerhouse. Despite Yang Xiong's extreme explosive power and strong defense, the difference in soul power between them was simply too vast.
Lin Gong's expression turned serious. "Xiao Xiong, your strength is even greater than I imagined, especially in terms of strength and defense. Your physical fitness has likely already reached the Soul Douluo level. It seems that your years of body refining haven't been in vain."
"Even your mental power is quite impressive. I feel your mental power has reached the peak of the Soul Douluo level."
"But no matter how strong your physical fitness is, you are still just a quasi-Soul Emperor. The gap in soul power between you and me is too great."
"The stronger the soul skill, the greater the consumption of both soul power and physical stamina. You may have incredibly terrifying combat power in the short term, but you won't be able to sustain it for long."
"Maybe you can absorb a soul ring under 100,000 years, but if you want to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, your current body is still not enough. You might withstand the short-term impact of a 100,000-year soul ring, but normally, it takes a long time to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring. You won't be able to hold out until the end."
"So if you still insist on absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, your body will have to undergo another transformation. At least, you can't do it right now."
Yang Xiong thought for a long time before speaking. "Teacher Lin, I still have my trump card. I'll definitely make my body transform again and be able to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring for my sixth soul ring."
Lin Gong couldn't help but speak with exasperation. "Xiao Xiong, I don't know if I should say you're stubborn or suicidal. Either way, I can't stop you from doing this. If you're really determined, we old guys will go to the Sunset Forest with you."
"However, I'm not very sure about that soul beast. I feel that it might not be a 100,000-year soul beast. In terms of momentum, it seems weaker than the Sky Blue Bull Python from the Star Dou Forest. It seems to be lacking in some aspects."
Yang Xiong didn't dwell on it and directly took out the core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake.
"Teacher Lin, what level of energy do you think is in this core?"
Lin Gong took the core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake, studied it carefully for a moment, and then spoke. "It should be around 60,000 to 70,000 years. If you use it as your soul ring, it could be quite good."
Yang Xiong thought for a moment before speaking. "Teacher Lin, I still want to find a top-tier fire attribute soul beast for my soul ring. Let's go to the Sunset Forest and see if there might be another surprise."
Lin Gong helplessly said, "You little rascal, your demands are just too high. You want a fire attribute soul ring and a power-type soul ring. Where are we going to find a 100,000-year soul beast that fits your requirements?"
Yang Xiong smiled. "If I remember correctly, I heard a bull's roar. Bull-type soul beasts are usually power-type beasts. If it has a fire attribute, this kind of soul beast is very rare. I hope the soul beast in the Sunset Forest is just as I imagined."
Lin Gong sighed, then handed Yang Xiong a lead box. "I don't know if I really owe you anything, but perhaps what's inside will help you."
Yang Xiong opened the lead box and found a green head soul bone inside. The energy felt incredibly powerful, with seemingly endless life force.
Yang Xiong immediately realized that the head soul bone in the box was from the same origin as his 100,000-year Blue Silver King soul bone from his right leg.
Lin Gong continued, "My ninth soul ring was obtained with the help of Sword Douluo and the five elders of the Body Sect. It was a 85,000-year-old Blue Silver Grass, and we acquired this head soul bone at that time."
"You know I already have a head soul bone. This one is of no use to me, so you can absorb it. It might come in handy for you when the time comes."
Yang Xiong twitched his mouth. "Teacher Lin, the Blue Silver Grass you hunted wasn't from the Star Dou Forest, right?"
Lin Gong snorted. "Look at your limited knowledge, always thinking about the Star Dou Forest. This time, I used the information from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and my past experiences to find a special forest full of Blue Silver Grass. It was quite strange, as all the Blue Silver Grass there could cultivate to the age of 10,000 years."
"But this 85,000-year-old Blue Silver Grass was really tough to kill. Its vitality was so strong that we almost felt hopeless. If it weren't for Sword Douluo and the five of us working together, it would have been hard to defeat it."
Yang Xiong was speechless. Based on the description, it sounded like the Blue Silver King from the Blue Silver Forest. And according to the timeline, it must have been quite some time ago.
After all, Tang San had relied on the Blue Silver King for his second awakening, where his martial soul evolved from Blue Silver Grass to Blue Silver Emperor.
Now that the Blue Silver King had been killed, Yang Xiong wondered whether Tang San had undergone his second awakening before this. If the Blue Silver King was killed too early, Tang San might never have had a chance to awaken.
Yang Xiong and Tang San had always been classmates and teammates, and their relationship had been neutral. They had even done several deals in the past, and theoretically, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shouldn't be hostile to Tang San.
But now, after what Lin Gong had said, the connection between them was much more complicated.
Still, Yang Xiong didn't dwell on it, taking the soul bone from Lin Gong's hand. After all, this was a rare treasure.
Having gone through the body refining in the Blood River of the Killing City, his 100,000-year Blue Silver King soul bone's aura had already started to change. The originally blue aura seemed to be influenced by the killing aura in the Blood River, gradually turning into a blood-red color.
Even if he used the Blue Silver King's right leg soul bone in the future, Tang Hao might not recognize it. But now that this 85,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone had appeared, if he used it later, Tang Hao would definitely recognize it.
After returning home, Yang Xiong carefully considered Lin Gong's words. He realized that absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring was far tougher than he had expected.
But Yang Xiong was unwilling to accept this. Given his advantages compared to Du Buxi, wasn't it possible for him to have an even stronger physical body?
