Chapter 17: For Example... Killing Yu Xiaogang!

It's worth mentioning that Liu Yuan's attack power was also very strong at this moment.

Although he was currently only a Soul Ancestor with four rings, his attack power surpassed that of ordinary Soul Emperors due to the various factors such as soul rings and martial soul enhancements.

In this situation, Liu Yuan's breastplate could withstand all attacks below his full power.

Therefore, it can be estimated that this breastplate is basically capable of protecting Liu Yuan from all attacks by enemies below the level of Soul Emperor.

Furthermore, as Liu Yuan's strength continues to improve, this breastplate will become even more resilient.

In the future, when Liu Yuan's strength truly becomes stronger...

It's possible that the breastplate can withstand attacks not only from those below the Soul Emperor level but even from Soul Emperors, Soul Saints, and possibly even Title Douluos and Douluo Gods!

The defensive capabilities provided by a single breastplate to Liu Yuan are already terrifyingly formidable, not to mention the breastplate's extraordinary self-healing ability. Additionally, Liu Yuan possesses the high mobility granted by the bone wings and the "Undying" soul skill...

This further enhances Liu Yuan's survivability.

It's speculated that in the future, when Liu Yuan emerges from seclusion and encounters Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and others again, it's very likely that he will be able to stand there and let them attack for days without receiving any injuries...

Just the thought of this made Liu Yuan's heart filled with excitement.

He really wanted to see the expressions on Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's faces at that time.

Surely, that would be quite interesting, right?

But it was precisely at this moment that the God of Death rewarded him with the appearance of the third external spirit bone.

In that instant, white particles appeared on Liu Yuan's face. These particles enlarged and gathered in front of him, eventually forming a complete white ghost-like mask.

As the mask took shape, it automatically adhered to Liu Yuan's face, merging with it.

With the completion of this step, Liu Yuan discovered that his mental processing speed had become extremely fast. His thinking speed was at least three to four times faster than usual.

Moreover, his vision and sense of smell were also enhanced. Things that were previously too far to see or smell were now clearly visible and detectable. This greatly enhanced his combat abilities.

After all, in battle, insight, smell, and mental processing speed are equally important.

And what this ghost-faced spirit bone granted him was precisely these abilities.

Liu Yuan spent a long time adapting to it in place.

Once he fully grasped the abilities of these three external spirit bones, even he couldn't help but feel a strong desire in his gaze.

He was well aware of the preciousness of these external spirit bones.

In a certain sense, these external spirit bones were even rarer and more powerful than ten-thousand-year spirit bones.

After all, ten-thousand-year spirit bones would only appear if a ten-thousand-year soul beast was killed.

As long as one possessed sufficient strength, killing a ten-thousand-year soul beast would guarantee obtaining a piece of ten-thousand-year spirit bone. It was merely a matter of having the strength to do so.

But obtaining external spirit bones was completely dependent on luck.

Without enough luck, even killing a hundred or a thousand-word soul beasts would be useless.

And the most troublesome thing is that these things can only be inherited when absorbing soul rings.

But how many opportunities does a normal soul master have to absorb soul rings?

A single Martial Soul has nine chances, and even a Twin Martial Soul only has eighteen.

Therefore, there are very few people on the Douluo Continent who possess external spirit bones. Someone like Tang San can indeed be called a child of destiny.

Originally, Liu Yuan didn't dare to think about obtaining external spirit bones. After all, they were extremely rare. He thought that it would be enough to gather a few ten-thousand-year spirit bones from some ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

Unexpectedly, he actually obtained external spirit bones all of a sudden!

Moreover, he obtained three at once!

This made Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel excited.

Thinking again about Tang San's only external spirit bone, the "Eight Spider Lances."

Liu Yuan burst into laughter immediately.

"Alright, kid, don't get too carried away with joy."

Seeing this, the God of Death also smiled at Liu Yuan and quickly said:

"You haven't discovered the true abilities of this ghost-faced mask yet."

Liu Yuan was slightly stunned upon hearing this and began to study the true abilities of the ghost-faced mask.

But the problem was that no matter how he researched, he couldn't find any results. He spent a long time but didn't discover any special abilities of this item.

Helpless, Liu Yuan could only turn to the God of Death and say, "God of Death, please don't keep me in suspense. Tell me how to use this special ability."

Finally, the God of Death told Liu Yuan, "Close your eyes and infuse your spiritual power into it."

Liu Yuan obediently followed the instructions.

Soon, he noticed that the ghost-faced mask absorbed a large amount of his soul power and spiritual power.

After successfully absorbing a significant amount of Liu Yuan's soul power and spiritual power, the ghost-faced mask fell off his face...

When it moved again, it directly grew flesh and blood, transforming into a pale-skinned human figure.

This human figure looked exactly like Liu Yuan, except that he wore a mask, making it difficult for ordinary people to recognize him as Liu Yuan.

"What is this...?"

After seeing this scene in front of him, Liu Yuan was stunned for a long time and couldn't help but ask the God of Death.

The God of Death replied to Liu Yuan, saying, "This is the ability of the ghost-faced mask, the Ghost Face Avatar."

"By absorbing a portion of your soul power and spiritual power, it creates an avatar with one percent of your actual strength."

"This avatar can share your memories and will become another you with autonomous thinking. In a sense, it's another you..."

"The avatar has an indefinite duration as long as it doesn't die, or unless you actively retrieve your spiritual power and soul power. It will exist continuously."

"Although it can only exert a fraction of your strength, if your own power is strong enough, even a small amount of power can become a formidable individual. And the most important thing is that it can be used in emergencies. Sometimes when your main body is occupied and there are matters that need to be dealt with, you can send the avatar."

"For example, right now, your main body needs to undergo inheritance and cannot leave this place."

"But your avatar doesn't have this restriction..."

"If you are willing, you can let your avatar leave at any time to do what you want."

The God of Death slowly explained to Liu Yuan.

Upon hearing the God of Death's words, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up before he could control his excitement.

Yes!

Although his main body needed to stay here temporarily and couldn't personally go to many places...

But with the avatar, everything could be easily resolved.

There were so many things he had always wanted to do!

Like returning to the Soul Village to see how the villagers were doing.

Or, killing Yu Xiaogang!
