Chapter 4: Absorbing Soul Bones

Notting City.

"Grandpa Masiuno, do you know how to absorb soul bones?" The child's immature voice came from an office on the second floor of the Martial Spirit Hall.

It was a large, bright office, and an old man was sitting behind a desk, staring at the little boy in front of him.

"Soul bones? Ho Ho, Xiao Jing, you have soul bones, right? There was a hint of a smile in the old man's voice, obviously not believing that the boy could get a soul bone.

"Of course, yes, that's what I managed to get." The little boy is none other than Lin Jing. As he spoke, Lin Jing took out a bone-like thing from his pocket.

"Oh, there's something. Here, show grandpa. The old man was a little surprised when he saw Lin Jingzhen take out a bone.

The old man took the bone and looked at it carefully, and asked, "Hmm... Xiao Jing: Where did you get this bone? ”

"I... I bought it at the East Side Market. Lin Jing scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Alas, Xiao Jing, soul bones are a rare thing to play, and they are not so easy to get." The old man put down the bones in his hand and said to Lin Jing. "Xiao Jing, you were fooled~ This is an ordinary soul beast bone coated with special pigments. Hehe, you can just take it as a collection. ”

"Huh? How so? Lin Jing's voice was a little incredulous, and there was a look of disappointment on his face.

"How can there be such a good thing in this world, you can pick up the leak by just shopping around." The old man looked at the boy and said. "It's good that the soul bone is fake, if this soul bone is real, you're afraid you're going to kill yourself." There was seriousness in the old man's voice.

"Uh... Well, I got it. Lin Jing's voice lowered, showing a little loss. Immediately, he raised his head and looked at the old man. "Grandpa Masiuno, can you teach me how to identify and absorb soul bones? I won't be fooled next time. ”

The old man looked at the boy's appearance, and his heart was a little unbearable.

"Well, well, you'll have to learn sooner or later anyway." The old man stood up, walked to the bookshelf on the right side of the office, took out a book from the shelf, and handed it to Lin Jing. "This is the textbook of the Intermediate Soul Master Academy directly under the Martial Spirit Palace, you take it and take a look, remember to return it after reading it."

"Okay! Thank you grandpa. A smile appeared on Lin Jing's face.

"Preliminary Identification and Absorption Methods of Soul Bones" √

......

It has been half a month since Lin Jing returned to Notting City since he dug the pit.

The ordinary bone coated with paint was made by Lin Jing himself.

A witty batch.

As for this soul bone dug up from the ground, Lin Jing could only vaguely judge that this was a soul bone produced by a snake soul beast that had been cultivated for less than five hundred years through soul power induction and the method described in the "Preliminary Identification and Absorption Method of Soul Bone", and the location should be the right arm.

Although Lin Jing wasn't sure if this soul bone was suitable for him, he still decided to absorb this soul bone, and this was because of Lin Jing's other martial soul, the Bone Demon.

According to Zheng Sanhui, although the Bone Demon Martial Soul is not powerful, it has a very rare characteristic, that is, it can replace the soul bone. The Bone Demon Martial Soul can strip out the absorbed soul bones without harming the body.

Therefore, for Lin Jing, the combination of the two unmatched martial spirits of the Bone Demon and the Bone Seeking Shovel can exert unexpected abilities.

......

On a hot summer day, the midday sun bakes everything in Notting City. In a hotel in the city, Lin Jing was preparing to absorb soul bones.

This soul bone is shaped like a tooth with a spiraling tail behind it. The color of the soul bone is dark green, and the surface emits a faint halo, which is very extraordinary.

Lin Jing put the soul bone on his right arm, sat down cross-legged, and guarded the martial soul, transporting the soul power into the soul bone through his right arm. This is the method of soul bone resorption mentioned in the book.

......

In the room, Lin Jing's expression at this time was extremely serious. Lin Jing exhaled a breath, and then used his soul power to input his soul power into the soul bone. With the input of soul power, the soul bone emitted a faint light and fused towards the right arm.

A pressure similar to that of absorbing a soul ring acted on his whole body, and Lin Jing's bones creaked as they were pressed. Under the high pressure, the Bone Demon Martial Spirit suddenly appeared, and a yellow soul ring also rose beside Lin Jing.

The soul bone slowly merged into his right arm, Lin Jing only felt that his right arm suddenly lost sensation, and then a sharp stinging pain came from his right arm, as if the bones of his right hand had been crushed over and over again.

Immediately afterwards, a hot breath spread from his right arm to his whole body. Lin Jing felt that his body was about to burst.

"Ahh

Dense blood vessels protrude on the right arm, but the lines are abnormally green. Lin Jing's right arm began to twitch uncontrollably.

As the last part of the soul bone sank into the right arm, the pain in the right arm gradually subsided. Just when Lin Jing thought it was about to end, the click-soul bone was completely absorbed, and another sharp pain like a tide came. Lin Jing rolled his eyes very decisively and fainted.

After Lin Jing lost consciousness, a green snake shadow roamed on Lin Jing's right arm, and disappeared after a while.

At this time, the soul power in Lin Jing's body also slowly changed from white to green, and then gradually turned back to white. It's just that a few traces of green can be faintly seen floating in the current white soul power.

In Lin Jing's right arm, soul power like spring water gushed out from the soul bones and flowed into the meridians of Lin Jing's body. Lin Jing, who was in a coma, seemed to feel a gentle soul power, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

......

The next morning, the birds outside the window chirped. Lin Jing lay on his body on the bed in the hotel.

Lin Jing had actually woken up, but recalling the severe pain he endured yesterday, Lin Jing still had palpitations, so he treated himself by lying in bed.

"It's all painful, let's take a look at the legendary soul bone technique."

Lin Jing decided not to salty fish anymore, so a carp fought hard and failed.... Lay down again. Lin Jing twisted his neck, his expression was a little helpless, so he had to get up honestly.

"Bone demon, possessed!"

As Lin Jing summoned the Bone Demon Martial Spirit, a layer of somewhat transparent white bone armor was attached to Lin Jing's two forearms, and Lin Jing's ten fingers turned into long bone claws. At the same time, a pair of diamond-shaped bone fragments that were symmetrical appeared on Lin Jing's cheeks, and a purple gem the size of a fingernail appeared in the center of his eyebrows.

A yellow soul ring rose from the soles of Lin Jing's feet. This is the first soul ring that Zheng Sanhui helped Lin Jing obtain - three hundred years of Jiuzhi... Phew, a three-hundred-year-old spur lizard.

Lin Jing felt the soul bone in his right arm and input the soul power into it.

A green snake shadow floats on its right arm. Lin Jing controlled the snake shadow to slowly move from his right arm to his left arm, and then back to his right arm. Lin Jing's heart moved, and the snake shadow flew out from his right arm, wrapping around the bone claws of his hands. Suddenly, the ten bone claws were dyed a layer of dark green.

Soul Bone Technique - Quenching Poison.

This soul skill is able to attach a part of the body to a violent snake venom. When snake venom enters the enemy's bloodstream, it causes the enemy's limbs to die quickly, which is a deadly poison.

The information of the Soul Bone Technique flashed in Lin Jing's mind, and he poked a finger at the wooden table. The bone claw easily pierced into the wood, but the corrosion that Lin Jing had expected did not appear.

Sure enough, I'm stupid, snake venom is not a strong acid, how can it have a corrosive effect. ’

It seems that this poison also has flaws, but I don't know if it can't work on plants or simply has no corrosive effect.

It's perfectly normal on Earth that snake venom doesn't work on plants. But in the Douluo Continent, soul skills that can't work on plants will undoubtedly make soul masters fall into passivity in some cases.

Fortunately, it's a soul bone skill, and I can still swap it out.

Lin Jinggang wanted to pat his forehead, but then remembered that he was still in the state of martial soul possession, and quickly put down the bone claw that was stuck in mid-air.

It's dangerous.

After absorbing the soul bone, Lin Jing's soul power skyrocketed from level twelve to level fifteen. Thinking that many of his peers hadn't even seen the shadow of the soul ring, Lin Jing said that he was very satisfied with this setting.

'I'm barely a genius now, hahaha'

'Hmm, now I should go and find out if Douluo Yi's plot has started, um... Go to the soul master who helped Tang San awaken in the original book and ask? What's it called? ’

"Hey, when I collect six soul bones, I should be able to hang Tang San up and fight~'

'Not right... It seems that Tang San has a backstage...'

Lin Jing was full of longing for the future, packed up his things, and walked away in the strange eyes of the little girl at the front desk of the hotel.
