Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

778 – Er Ming’s Doubt

Er Ming laughed and said, “You’re smart, kid. Alright, since we’ve already made an exception, we’ll make an exception until the end. Follow me.” As he spoke, he waved his hand and a ball of yellow light appeared, enveloping everyone, including Xiao Qi.

With a flash of light, the surroundings darkened.

Tang Yuge blurted out, “Earth Escape!”

Earth Escape was one of the Five Elements Escape Techniques and she knew how to do it too, but she was still unable to bring people with her, let alone so many people. But looking at Er Ming, he seemed to be very relaxed and didn’t even have to exert much strength.

Was a god rank beast king so powerful?

Er Ming looked at Tang Yuge, whose eyes were shining brightly, and said, “You should be from Tong Yu’s lineage, right? You’ve cultivated the Five Elements Qilin to this extent , you didn’t embarrass your ancestor.”

Qian Lei nudged Yuanen Huihui and whispered, “Look, the senior praised your sister but not you. Hehe.”

Yuanen Huihui rolled his eyes at him and remained silent.

When Er Ming heard this, he looked at Tang Yuge and Yuanen Huihui in surprise. “You guys are siblings? Biological siblings?”

If anyone else asked this question, Tang Yuge would definitely not answer. This had always been a pain in her heart.

However, Er Ming treated them very well and was a god rank beast king that had lived for god knows how many years. She couldn’t not answer him, so she simply replied, “Same father but different mother.”

Er Ming knitted his brows and muttered, “Same father but different mother? Something doesn’t seem right.”

At this moment, Yuanen Huihui suddenly spoke up, “Senior Er Ming, what soul bone do you think is suitable for me?”

Er Ming looked at him and saw his bright eyes. For a moment, he was puzzled but he didn’t continue asking.

“All of you are proficient in different things, and a soul bone has to be compatible with your own abilities. Also, for soul masters, it is obviously best to have a complete set of soul bones, which can greatly increase your own strength, especially the strength of your bodies. There are some things that all of you might not have learned before, but you will learn them in Shrek Academy’s Inner Court. It is not easy for humans to cultivate to Godhood, and the first problem to resolve is that your body is not strong enough.

“Simply put, your bodies are like a cup right now, and the amount of water a cup can hold is limited. If it exceeds the limit, it will spill out and the water cannot be preserved. If the cup is sealed, it might even explode. So, you guys need to make this cup bigger, to become a big bowl, or even bigger, to become a pot. Although my description is a little crude, the general meaning is this. Not only can a soul bone strengthen your bones, but it can also strengthen everything within, including meridians, muscles, bones, and so on. So, having a soul bone is a comprehensive enhancement to the body, which is equivalent to making your cup bigger and sturdier. Also, having the six basic soul bones will allow your bodies to undergo a qualitative change.

“It’s not that all god-ranked powerhouses need a complete set of soul bones, but it is much easier for a soul master with a complete set of soul bones to break through to god-rank. Understand?”

Upon hearing Er Ming’s words, everyone realized the importance of the soul bone and nodded, especially Liu Feng.

He had a soul bone and knew his own situation. His right arm was the strongest part of his body, and this was undoubtedly the benefit of that Silver Moon Wolf right arm bone.

“Soul bones produced by different soul beasts are different. It is impossible for all of you to choose the same type of soul bone. The probability of a soul beast producing a soul bone is only one in ten thousand, and only a soul beast with a cultivation of over 100,000 years can guarantee a soul bone.

“In the past, if you humans wanted to obtain the soul bone, you would have to hunt us soul beasts. That was also a period when the relationship between humans and soul beasts was the most tense. In the early days, you humans were no match for us at all and were even food for us soul beasts. But after the invention of soul devices, you gradually became stronger.”

At this point, Er Ming sighed. “Wisdom is the greatest weapon that you humans have!”

“After that, our soul beasts were overly hunted by you humans and were on the verge of extinction. The remaining soul beasts launched a counterattack against you and almost succeeded. That generation’s Tang Sect Master was also Shrek Academy’s Sea God Pavilion Master and saved you humans in the end. He had great wisdom and set the principle of peaceful coexistence between humans and us soul beasts. That was how you humans gave us this land to live in. After 10,000 years of development, our relationship with each other eased.”

Er Ming had a very long lifespan and what he said was undoubtedly history he had witnessed. When Lan Xuanyu and the others heard this, it was as if they were brought back to that magnificent era.

“Soul bones and soul rings are different. They will not disappear because of the death of a soul master and will remain. As long as they are not destroyed, they will be preserved forever. So, there are quite a number of soul bones in this world, but they are mostly in the hands of large forces, and we have taken back a lot. When you guys are choosing soul bones, if it is your first time having one, you must think carefully about which type of soul bone you want. Because when the soul bones in your entire body are fused, the fusion of similar soul bones will be the smoothest, and the effect will be the best. Of course, if you guys can obtain some top-notch soul bones, then it doesn’t matter. A top-notch soul bone can allow other soul bones to fuse with it, regardless of the type. As for how you choose, it will still depend on yourself, based on your own experience, and based on your perception of soul bones. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the stronger the soul bone is, the better it is for you, don’t be greedy.

“I’ve already made an exception for all of you, I’ll only open up 10,000-year soul bones to all of you. We’re here.”

As they spoke, the scenery suddenly appeared as though they had drilled out from the ground.

The light outside was still dim, and when the yellow light that protected them disappeared, everyone realized that they were in a cave.

This cave seemed to be very big, and there were spots of light on the stone walls of the cave, illuminating this place. Although the light was dim, they could roughly see it.

Er Ming smiled and said, “This can be considered our treasure cave. There aren’t many human guests that can come here. I welcome all of you on behalf of the soul beasts of the Senluo Planet.”

“Thank you, Senior Er Ming,” everyone said respectfully.

Er Ming waved his hand. “Follow me.”

The reason why he made an exception and gave Lan Xuanyu and the rest a soul bone was not only because of Lan Xuanyu but also because of the performance of these young people.

What they displayed was not only strength, but also talent and potential. Young people like them would definitely have a bright future as long as they continued on.

Although soul beasts and the federal government were living in harmony now, soul beasts were still soul beasts and not human beings. It was naturally necessary for soul beasts to befriend the future strong humans.

Hence, Er Ming made this decision after discussing with Da Ming.

Soul bones were obviously very precious to human soul masters, but to Er Ming and the rest, they were merely the assets of soul beasts.

Er Ming strode in. This was obviously an undeveloped natural cave, and Lan Xuanyu could sense that the fluorescence on the walls was emitted by some special rare metal.
