Chapter 16 Hmm? External Soul Bone: The Eye of Radiance
Sit cross-legged, adjust your breathing, and elevate your mental state to its best.
Then, gently guide it with your soul power.
The yellow spirit ring seemed to be summoned, drifting over and directly encircling him.
The moment the spirit ring entered the body, a scorching and powerful energy surged into the meridians!
Ye Feng groaned, feeling as if his meridians had been ignited, and intense pain and burning sensation instantly spread throughout his body.
Not daring to be negligent, he immediately calmed his mind and guided the violent energy to circulate within his body along a fixed route.
Time slowly passed amidst the agonizing torment.
Five hours later, sunlight began to filter through the leaves.
Ye Feng suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes!
The yellow spirit rings swirling around him shone brightly before slowly receding into his body and disappearing.
Absorption completed successfully.
He slowly stood up, feeling the soul power within his body, which was several times stronger than before. An unprecedented feeling of power filled his heart.
He clenched his fist, a thought forming in his mind.
"First Soul Skill: Radiant Body!"
A dazzling golden light burst forth from within, forming a faint golden halo on the surface of the body.
A powerful sense of strength surged from deep within his muscles, and his body's defenses seemed to be greatly enhanced as well.
Soul Skill Effect: Activates the martial soul's origin, increasing the user's strength and defense by 30%, and light attribute enhancement by 10%!
Moreover, this soul skill does not consume much soul power and can be maintained for about ten minutes without any side effects.
This increase... is outrageous!
If it weren't for the standard equipment provided by top-tier soul beasts, Ye Feng would never have believed it!
Even for those top-tier beast spirits, the first spirit ring provides roughly the same boost as this!
Just as I was about to carefully experience the effects of the soul skill, a sudden change occurred!
Without warning, a sharp, piercing pain shot through my eyes, as if two red-hot irons had been forcibly shoved into my eye sockets!
"Ugh!"
Ye Feng grimaced in pain, covered his eyes, and was even unsteady on his feet.
The intense pain came quickly and went quickly.
After a while, as he slowly lowered his hand, a golden light about an inch long shot out from his eyes, lingering for a long time.
This! This is...
A spirit bone attached!
What incredible luck I've had!
A stream of information naturally flooded into my mind.
External Soul Bone: Eye of the Light.
It possesses powerful spiritual perception abilities and is also equipped with a Soul Bone skill.
Skill: Insightful Light.
Effects: Significantly enhances dynamic vision and perception, enabling it to see through fog, illusions, and invisibility effects to a certain extent, and even detect the trajectory of energy flow in the air.
It's truly an opportunity that was won at the risk of one's life!
Moreover, the Eye of Light is currently only in its first stage, and new abilities will be unlocked as its strength increases in the future!
Indeed, fortune favors the bold; the ancients were right!
Feeling the increased soul power within his body, although he couldn't yet determine the exact level he had reached, it was definitely above level eleven.
With more than a month until the start of the school year, it's a good time to hunt a few more hundred-year-old soul beasts on the outskirts of this forest and exchange them for some gold soul coins to prepare for future cultivation!
Having made up his mind, he dragged the corpse of the Radiant Lion out of the tree hole, determined the direction, and headed towards the town.
When Ye Feng returned to that familiar teahouse, the owner, who was drinking tea from his teacup, suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea, splashing it all over the table.
"You...you actually came back alive?"
The boss looked like he'd seen a ghost.
The surrounding tea drinkers also cast surprised glances, and some Soul Masters who had seen Ye Feng a few days ago showed expressions of disbelief.
"That kid's got a really lucky life. The beast tide hasn't even stopped yet, and he actually managed to come out of the forest alive?"
"Look at his injuries, it's terrifying."
"Hey, you're lucky to be alive, what more do you want?"
"What's he dragging behind him? A lion?"
"My God! Judging from its fur and size, it's a hundred-year-old soul beast! He actually hunted down a hundred-year-old soul beast all by himself?"
Ye Feng ignored the surrounding discussions and just chuckled at the boss.
"Boss, you just got lucky. I wanted to ask, where in this town can I buy the corpses of soul beasts?"
As soon as he said this, the surroundings fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on the lion carcass behind him, a mixture of envy, jealousy, and greed.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Feng, following the boss's instructions, dragged the lion to the entrance of the largest restaurant in town.
The restaurant owner, a burly middle-aged man, was also taken aback when he saw the lion carcass Ye Feng had dragged over. He came out and clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Kid, you're really ruthless. You managed to hunt down such a top-tier soul beast."
"You flatter me, senior. I was just lucky."
Ye Feng modestly replied:
"Senior, what price are you willing to offer for this soul beast? Also, could you please tell me its name?"
The restaurant owner's expression instantly turned strange.
"What? You don't even know what kind of spirit beast this is, yet you dare to hunt it?"
The crowd that had come to watch the spectacle immediately booed.
"What's wrong with you? You don't even know what prey is? What a blockhead."
"Could it be that they stole the body after finding a bargain?"
"I think so, otherwise how could they not even know the name?"
"I'm going to get ripped off by the boss this time. I don't know the market, I deserve to be cheated."
The restaurant owner ignored the crowd's discussion, squatted down to carefully examine the lion's carcass, then stood up and looked at Ye Feng with a complicated expression.
"Listen up, kid."
This thing is called the Radiant Lion, an extremely rare light-attribute soul beast. Its bloodline is as precious as some sub-dragon soul beasts!
"Since you risked your life to get this, I won't cheat you."
"One price, six hundred gold soul coins, I'll take it! If it were alive, it'd be worth at least three thousand gold soul coins!"
hiss!
Upon hearing this price, the surrounding crowd gasped in shock, and their gazes toward Ye Feng completely changed.
Six hundred gold soul coins!!
"Okay, deal!"
Ye Feng agreed without hesitation.
The restaurant owner gave him an approving look and soon had someone bring him a gold soul coin card with a face value of five hundred, as well as a heavy money bag.
"There's five hundred in your card and one hundred in your bag. Count it."
"Thank you, senior."
Ye Feng took the money, and amidst the almost murderous envious gazes of the crowd, he turned and left, his pace quickening until he finally ran directly out of town.
With such a large sum of money, this place is not safe to stay any longer!
You might get targeted.
Now, only that narrow tree hollow is the safest place!
