Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 191 Absorption, Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone Skills
"This is a loan I made from the academy. I'll definitely pay it back with interest once I have the money," Shi Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.
I didn't expect that searching for soul beasts would be so expensive.
But if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is not an easy task.
The area of ​​the Xingdou Great Forest is comparable to the land area of ​​a kingdom or principality in this era.
The area is large and full of dangers. It would definitely cost a lot to hire someone to search for it. Otherwise, who would be willing to do it?
Yan Shaozhe looked at Shi Yu deeply and said, "The academy doesn't need you to pay back the money. You just need to practice hard and improve yourself. As long as you can successfully improve and become stronger, that will be the best reward for the academy."

Shi Yu was not stupid, he understood what the other party meant, smiled and said: "I remember the college's kindness, but I still have to pay the money I owe. There is no conflict."

Once he cashes in the resources he controls, he will be able to take out even hundreds of millions of gold soul coins, not to mention tens of millions.
Naturally, he didn't want to owe Shrek Academy too much money.
"Are you confident you can absorb this 20,000-year-old soul beast's soul ring?" Moon asked, changing the subject.
Shi Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'm about half sure. My recovery ability is very strong. Even if the energy is too strong and keeps tearing my body apart, I can recover quickly. This way, the soul ring energy won't easily burst my body."

He then looked at the box in his hand and said cryptically, "After I adjust it a little more, I'll be more confident. I can at least have a 70% chance of successfully absorbing it."

Moon also understood what he meant. Absorbing a hundred thousand year old spirit bone would indeed make his physique much stronger, allowing him to withstand spirit rings of a higher age.
"So what are your plans?" Moon asked with a smile.
Shi Yu said: "Let's just choose this soul beast with spatial attributes. I don't have a choice."

"Then you and Xiaotao should go get the spirit ring together in a few days," Moon nodded.
It was not so easy to capture and bring back a 20,000-year-old space-attribute soul beast, so Shi Yu had to go and hunt it himself.
"Okay," Shi Yu and Ma Xiaotao nodded.
"Shaozhe, when the time comes, you and Shixing will go together to help them obtain spirit rings," Moon instructed.
A space-attributed soul beast is not so easy to deal with. You may have the ability to kill it, but you may not have the opportunity.
After ten thousand years, the space-attributed soul beasts are elusive and their escape methods are very troublesome. It is really difficult to deal with them without sending out some strong people who can restrain them.
Shixing is able to effectively restrain this kind of soul beast with outstanding escape ability.
"I'll go talk to Shi Xing about this later," Yan Shaozhe said.
Moon En asked Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao and the others to leave first, leaving Shi Yu alone in the room.
"Just absorb this soul bone here, and I'll protect you," Moon said to Shi Yu.
"Okay," Shi Yu nodded happily. Absorbing spirit bones also carries certain risks, especially absorbing a hundred thousand year old spirit bone. Having a top-level expert by his side to protect him would give him peace of mind.
He excitedly opened the box, and the soul bone inside emitted a silver and red mixed energy light.
Silver represents attribute energy, while red represents energy intensity, indicating that this soul bone comes from a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Shi Yu took a closer look and saw that the soul bone was a leg bone. After careful identification, it seemed to be a left leg bone.
Normally, a soul master can absorb six soul bones, with corresponding soul bones for the legs, hands, head, and torso.
The value of soul bones in different positions is also different.
The trunk bones are the most valuable, followed by the skull, then the hands, and the last two positions are the legs.
This left leg bone seems to be the least valuable, but it is a 100,000-year-old spatial attribute left leg bone. Even at its worst position, it is still a top-grade soul bone.
Shi Yu was not disappointed at all because of the poor location of this soul bone. The key point was the 100,000 years and spatial attributes.
Seeing that Shi Yu liked this soul bone very much, Moon said with a smile: "This soul bone comes from a 100,000-year-old Void Claw Leopard, which has both speed and attack."

"Absorbing it may further enhance your teleportation ability, while also giving you a powerful spatial attack soul bone skill."

Shi Yu calmed down, sat down and began to try to absorb this 100,000-year-old space attribute soul bone.
This was his first time absorbing a spirit bone in a normal body position, and the feeling was somewhat different from absorbing an external spirit bone.
A tearing pain soon spread from his left leg, as if his bones were being shattered bit by bit by the energy of his soul bone.
This was a process of shattering and then fusing. The pain made the corners of his mouth twitch. This was not something he could endure easily, and soon sweat broke out on his forehead.
Shi Yu had also suffered a lot, and his ability to endure pain had been honed. He did not cry out in pain, but tried his best to endure it.
Shi Yu tried his best to think of other things to distract himself, wishing that time could speed up a hundred times, a thousand times, so that the pain would pass quickly.
Moon watched with interest and admired Shi Yu's endurance.

After more than four hours, the surging energy in Shi Yu gradually subsided. He opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. It hadn't been easy.
The soul bone was of the highest quality, but absorbing it also caused him considerable pain.
After a short pause, a smile appeared on my face, and the joy of harvest filled my heart.
"How is it?" Moon's voice sounded at the right time.
Shi Yu looked up and saw Mu En looking at him with a kind smile, and his senior brother Yan Shaozhe also looked at him curiously.
Obviously they are more curious about their own gains.
Shi Yu did not stand up, but sat on the ground, smiling and said: "My soul power should have increased by one or two levels, but it is not revealed because I have not yet obtained the fourth soul ring."

The soul power boost from soul bones is usually quite small, especially since this soul bone seems to have been absorbed by someone else before, so some of its energy has been lost. It's quite good that it can help him increase his soul power by one or two levels.
He didn't care much about the soul power increase, as the focus of the soul bone's improvement should be on the improvement of the physique and soul skills.
Moon En and Yan Shaozhe didn't care much about the increase in soul power. They continued to look at Shi Yu, waiting for his next words.
"The soul bone gave me two skills, both of which are attack skills."

"One skill is called the Universe-Splitting Star Claw. I kick out three times in a row. The first kick creates a single spatial claw mark, the second kick creates three spatial claw marks, and the third kick creates nine spatial claw marks. Each kick is more powerful than the last, and the power is increased several times. The third kick is more than nine times the power of the first kick, and this first kick should be able to reach the power strength of my third soul skill."

"The power of the third kick might not even be able to withstand it, even a Soul Emperor would be able to," Shi Yu said excitedly.
Moon and Yan Shaozhe were also slightly moved. This skill is pretty good.
