Chapter 14 The Wrath of the Titans, External Left Palm Bone Attached!
Slowly opening his eyes, Qin Mu felt the abundant power in his body after absorbing the soul ring, and a smile appeared on his face.
"See, Sister Ling Yuan, I didn't lie to you."
At this moment, Qin Mu realized that the sky had darkened again.
"Now that you've finished absorbing it, we should head back."
Ling Yuan felt it necessary to report Qin Mu's amazing performance on this trip to Bibi Dong.
"Qin Mu, what is your first soul skill? Is it an exceptionally powerful soul skill?"
Qin Mu was able to defeat two powerful soul beasts without using any soul skills, which made Hu Liena quite curious about what Qin Mu's first soul skill was.
At this moment, Ling Yuan, who was standing to the side, also turned her gaze to Qin Mu, clearly showing that she was equally interested.
After all, Qin Mu's first soul skill was absorbed beyond his years of cultivation, and he obtained it from the Titan Giant Ape, the king of soul beasts. It's obvious that it's an extremely powerful soul skill.
Seeing this, Qin Mu immediately released the Clear Sky Hammer that he had just retrieved.
With the appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer, a deep yellow spirit ring hovered around Qin Mu, and a powerful sense of oppression emanated from him.
"First Soul Skill, Titan's Wrath!"
As Qin Mu's first spirit ring lit up, the powerful sense of oppression increased significantly, and the Clear Sky Hammer in Qin Mu's hand also grew larger.
"This is my first soul skill, Titan's Wrath, an amplification-type soul skill that increases all attributes by 100% for half an hour."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan and Hu Liena were taken aback at first, and then looked at Qin Mu with some surprise.
It's important to know that for an amplification soul skill to achieve a doubling of its effect, it would be possible to obtain at least a thousand-year soul ring.
But now, Qin Mu already possesses his first spirit ring.
"Of course, with my current soul power, I can only use it three times at most."
Seeing their expressions, Qin Mu knew they were surprised by the terrifying boost from his first soul skill, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.
"That's enough. After all, your first soul skill is an amplification of someone else's third soul skill, so the consumption should also be an amplification of someone else's third soul skill to be fair."
But is it really fair?
If Qin Mu's first soul skill has the strength of someone else's third soul skill, then how could it be the same as someone else's third soul skill when Qin Mu has his third soul skill?
Ling Yuan couldn't help but look at Qin Mu with envy.
Judging from this rate of development, when Qin Mu becomes a Title Douluo, his achievements will surely far surpass her own.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's pack up and head back quickly."
Seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Ling Yuan urged them on.
"Sister Ling Yuan, are you going to escort us back? If this is to be considered a punishment, I won't accept it."
"You clever little girl. I have to get back quickly, so I don't want to waste time on my way back."
"Besides, you did a great job this time. You not only successfully absorbed the spirit ring, but also defeated the thousand-year-old spirit beast. There is no reason to punish you."
Ling Yuan patted Hu Liena's head, feeling quite pleased with herself.
Just then, Ling Yuan seemed to sense something and looked at Qin Mu not far away.
Qin Mu searched the Titan Ape's corpse and seemed to have found something. He took out a sharp blade from his storage ring and cut off the Titan Ape's entire left hand.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed to Qin Mu's side. Suddenly, a ball of flame shot out from her hand and threw the Titan Giant Ape's entire left hand into it.
The Titan Ape's left hand sizzled in the flames released by Ling Yuan. In no time, all the flesh on its left hand had disappeared, leaving only a piece of black bone.
The dark bone looks remarkably like a human hand bone, but it is almost twice the size of an adult's hand.
The metacarpal bones also emanated a strong fluctuation of soul power.
"This is... a soul bone?!"
Upon seeing the pitch-black left metacarpal bone, Ling Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Not only is it a soul bone, but it's also an external left palm bone!"
External soul bones, as the name suggests, are soul bones in other parts of the body besides the six normal soul bones.
If the probability of an ordinary soul bone appearing is about one in a thousand, then the probability of an external soul bone appearing is less than one in ten thousand.
In the world of Soul Masters, the rarity of external soul bones is no less than that of a 100,000-year soul ring!
However, the most precious thing about external soul bones is not their rarity, but their potential for growth.
External soul bones can evolve as their owner's soul power increases, so generally speaking, the earlier you absorb an external soul bone, the better.
However, there is one very important condition to absorb an external soul bone.
You must absorb the soul ring of the soul beast that dropped this soul bone in order to successfully absorb the external soul bone.
The commotion naturally attracted Hu Liena's attention.
Upon seeing the pitch-black hand bone in Ling Yuan's hand, Hu Liena was once again speechless with shock.
Ling Yuan stared blankly at the soul bone for a long time, sighed softly, and then handed the soul bone to Qin Mu.
"Absorb it too, since the attributes of this soul bone are very compatible with you. After you absorb it, let's hurry back."
Having spent just a few days by Qin Mu's side, her understanding of Ling Yuan had already been greatly impacted.
Not only does he possess the Clear Sky Hammer Intent, which is one in ten thousand from the Clear Sky Sect, but it can also be used in actual combat.
Not only did he absorb a spirit ring of a higher level, but he even managed to obtain an external spirit bone.
He is truly blessed by heaven and a child of destiny!
After receiving the soul bone from Ling Yuan, Qin Mu stared at it in a daze.
Just now, when he released his first soul skill, he suddenly felt that something on the Titan Giant Ape was calling to him.
Following that feeling, Qin Mu found the external soul bone.
Qin Mu was naturally aware of the rarity of external soul bones.
With burning eyes fixed on the external soul bone, and amidst the envious gazes of Ling Yuan and Hu Liena, Qin Mu slowly fused his left hand with the soul bone.
However, the moment of fusion, Qin Mu felt as if his entire left hand was about to be crushed by the energy brought by the soul bone.
The pain in his left hand caused Qin Mu's forehead to be covered in sweat, but even so, he didn't utter a single groan.
The intense pain made Qin Mu feel as if his left hand was being struck by a thousand stones. Even Ling Yuan and Hu Liena, who were standing nearby, could hear the sound of bones being squeezed in Qin Mu's palm.
This energy was extremely violent, but it was very familiar to Qin Mu, who had absorbed the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring.
Despite the excruciating pain, Qin Mu channeled his soul power into his left hand, trying his best to alleviate the pain.
Gradually, Qin Mu adapted to the impact of the soul bone, and under his control, the soul bone gradually began to merge with him.
The pain in his hand gradually disappeared, replaced by an extremely gentle and cool energy that soothed his entire left hand.
