Chapter 23: Chapter 23: External Soul Bone: Six-Winged Purple Light Wings
Ye Hao's upper garments were torn apart, revealing a well-defined physique with eight-pack abs that caused Dugu Yan to turn her head away, her face flushed as she glared at Ye Hao. What was he thinking, acting so crazily in broad daylight?
The woman standing behind Teacher Qin was none other than Ye Lingling from the Royal Fighting Team, who possessed the continent's unique martial soul: Nine Hearts Begonia. She was currently looking at him coldly, which was typical of her character.
Like a tranquil flower, she usually spoke only a word or two in a day and sometimes wouldn't say anything at all. Ye Hao would occasionally tease her, but to Ye Lingling, he was merely a mischievous younger brother with extraordinary talent, unworthy of much attention.
Having reached her teenage years, she had become quite perceptive about many things.
Behind Ye Hao, six purple, translucent wings quietly emerged, sprouting from his back.
Everyone was taken aback by this sight.
Then, in front of everyone, Ye Hao jumped into the air; with the help of the six wings behind him, his speed reached a terrifying level, almost beyond the naked eye's perception.
Ye Hao could clearly feel the changes in himself, and when he looked at the six purple wings that had suddenly appeared, thin as paper, he realized they gave him the ability to fly.
Wait a minute, his Death Spider Emperor martial soul did not appear to have flying abilities, and these six purple wings only appeared after absorbing the third soul ring, leaving only one possible explanation...
"Could this be an external soul bone?"
Soul bones, like soul rings, were among the most prized possessions of soul masters because they were derived from soul beasts.
Soul bones, unlike soul rings, had a very low appearance rate, with only one in a thousand, if not less, soul beasts dying under extraordinary circumstances, such as ten-thousand-year soul beasts, having a chance of producing a soul bone.
The chances of regular soul beasts dropping soul bones were too low.
External soul bones, without a doubt, ranked second only to ten thousand-year soul rings in the soul master community.
Ye Hao was ecstatic; external soul bones, like soul masters, could evolve alongside the soul master's growth. The one he had came from a thousand-year-old Purple Winged Demon Spider, and the external soul bone it produced was associated with flight.
Without a doubt, Ye Hao was now soaring freely in the sky, and his flight speed was so fast that Yu Feng, a speed-type soul master with the Wind Spirit Bird martial soul, was envious; Ye Hao was faster than him!
"Could the External Soul Bone from the Purple Winged Spider be...?"
Ye Hao recalled that the current Pope of the Spirit Hall had an external soul bone with the same flight capability.
"Six-winged Purple Light Wings?"
"Could it be...?"
Although he was brought into this world five years ago and chose to simulate Bibi Dong's twin martial souls, which changed his appearance, how could he have the same external soul bone?
Bibi Dong's Six-Winged Purple Light Wings were derived from the Purple Winged Spider King, whereas his Six-Winged Purple Light Wings were derived from the Purple Winged Demon Spider; the types of soul beasts were identical, but their ages were vastly different.
In essence, both external soul bones were virtually identical.
Ye Hao looked down at the onlookers gazing up at the sky and realized something was amiss—he had lost his clothes! In a panic, he descended quickly, landing safely on the ground, and used his soul power to retract the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings. He took his clothes from his soul guide and went behind a tree to get dressed before stepping out to face everyone, his face slightly flushed.
"I am really sorry for worrying you, Teacher Qin," Ye Hao said, scratching his head in embarrassment.
Qin Ming chuckled and shook his head. "It's fine. I just arrived and noticed that you had not moved in a while, so I could not help but come in and look. Did you successfully absorb the soul ring from the Purple Winged Demon Spider?"
Ye Hao nodded and replied, "I have finished absorbing the Purple Winged Demon Spider's soul ring, and my soul power has reached level 32. My third soul skill is an extremely powerful attack skill that will be sufficient for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition in two years."
Joking aside, Shrek Academy would win the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition in two years, defeating Hu Liena's legendary Spirit Hall team.
Now that Ye Hao has joined the Tiandou Royal Academy, how can they win the championship? They could wait for their next lives!
What was important now was to quickly increase his soul power level. Ye Hao was determined to acquire something from the Sunset Forest, especially since the granddaughter of the old poison master was his teammate.
Although Ye Hao frequently teased Dugu Yan and made fun of Ye Lingling, the truth was that Dugu Yan was no match for him. A month ago, they had sparred.
In the end, the Death Spider Emperor's poison triumphed over Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Serpent poison.
As a result, Qin Ming immediately imposed a restriction on Ye Hao: he could no longer use the Death Spider Emperor's poison unless it was absolutely necessary. The reason was simple: the Death Spider Emperor's poison was too strong.
Look, the Purple Winged Demon Spider had already turned into a bloody puddle in the pit.
The Purple Winged Demon Spider: (°°)
Over the last three months, Dugu Yan has gained a thorough understanding of Ye Hao's background. He grew up in isolation and was nearly killed by wolf bandits as a child before fleeing to the Branch Spirit Hall in Notting City, where he awakened the Death Spider (Death Spider Emperor) martial spirit with innate full soul power.
At the age of eleven, Ye Hao had reached level 32 in soul power, so one could imagine how hard he had worked in recent years—he was truly an underdog overcoming adversity.
Ye Hao was highly valued by the academy's three educational committee members, as well as Dugu Yan, Qin Ming, and the rest of the Royal Fighting Team.
Ye Hao was the youngest of the group, with the other seven members being mostly seventeen or eighteen years old, whereas he was only an eleven-year-old little brother among these older siblings.
Ye Hao was simply a younger brother to them. Aside from being a little mischievous and occasionally teasing Dugu Yan or joking with Ye Lingling, there was nothing he could not handle.
Ye Hao had even defeated Xue Beng, who would now take a detour whenever he saw Ye Hao.
If no one offended him, he would not offend others.
If someone offended him, he would fight back with all of his might.
Ye Hao's abilities had far exceeded everyone's expectations.
As a result, Dugu Yan only regarded Ye Hao as a younger brother. She even suggested that Ye Hao become an apprentice under her grandfather.
Who was her grandfather? Dugu Bo, the renowned poison master, is better known as the Poison Douluo.
Ye Hao immediately declined, saying he needed to think about it. Though the poison douluo was skilled with poisons, his combat abilities were rather mediocre.
