And the moment they came into contact with Su Yun's first soul skill, although the Man-Faced Demon Spiders managed to slice through the flying leaves, the slowing effect had already been triggered, and the subsequent leaves overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.

Facing the dozen or so Man-Faced Demon Spiders surrounding him, Su Yun didn't plan to move but instead decided to try out his newly acquired fourth soul skill—Parasite!

Tang San's second soul skill, Parasite, required him to inject his own soul power for growth, with effects including entanglement, control, and releasing neurotoxic poison to paralyze the enemy.

Su Yun's fourth soul skill was similar to Tang San's Parasite in its early stages, requiring a part of his own martial soul to touch the opponent or enemy, consuming his soul power to produce seeds that parasitize the opponent.

However, the subsequent effect was entirely different.

The seeds released by Su Yun wouldn't germinate but would cling to the opponent's clothes or body surface, continuously absorbing a small portion of the opponent's soul power.

In other words, as long as the opponent didn't release soul skills or use soul power, this fourth soul skill would be ineffective.

But if they didn't use soul power and relied solely on their physical bodies, they would definitely not be able to defeat Su Yun.

And that was just the effect of a single seed.

Unless the enemy could remove the seeds from their body, throughout the battle, they would be having their soul power absorbed by Su Yun's seeds.

With a snap of his fingers, the seeds already attached to the Man-Faced Demon Spiders began to absorb their soul power.

Although the Man-Faced Demon Spiders were millennium soul beasts, their intelligence was not very high. Realizing that not only had their speed decreased but even the circulation of their soul power had started to become erratic, they became panicked and even thought of escaping.

However, since Su Yun's first soul skill was constantly being released, the slowing effect on them was almost continuously refreshed, making it nearly impossible for them to move.

"Enough, no need to waste time, let's settle this all at once." Su Yun then released his third soul skill, Blue Silver Avatar.

Instantly, dozens of Su Yuns, formed from the branches of the Blue Silver Emperor and his soul power, appeared on the scene.

These avatars, in a sense, could be considered 'half a Su Yun'. They not only possessed their own combat consciousness but could also coordinate and execute skills like the Wind God's Leg and Inferno Spear Technique, enhanced by the system.

However, they couldn't use the soul skills bestowed by the Blue Silver Emperor.

After the Blue Silver Emperor used its branches to create disposable wooden spears for them, the avatars immediately engaged in battle. In less than a moment, the group of Man-Faced Demon Spiders, initially thinking of fleeing, were now reduced to corpses on the ground.

After the last Man-Faced Demon Spider died, to Su Yun's surprise, the system's voice unexpectedly announced.

[Congratulations, mission completed!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the reward: Special Skill—The World]

[Note: With your current soul power and spiritual power, you can stop time only for a moment, and this skill can be used once a day, refreshing at midnight.]

Su Yun retracted his avatars and his martial soul, his eyes brimming with excitement.

"Sister Ah Yin, we actually completed the mission!" Su Yun exclaimed joyously.

Ah Yin also heard the system's prompt and was surprised at Su Yun's good luck. The habitat of Man-Faced Demon Spiders he found just happened to have the special Man-Faced Demon Spider required by the system.

However, she was still puzzled about what exactly made this Man-Faced Demon Spider special.

While Su Yun was fighting, she also used her spiritual power to inspect the surrounding Man-Faced Demon Spiders but couldn't find anything unique about them.

Before Ah Yin could figure it out, Su Yun had already moved on to practice; he began flipping through the corpses of the Man-Faced Demon Spiders, seemingly searching for something.

After searching through five or six Man-Faced Demon Spider corpses, Su Yun's eyes suddenly brightened. He used his spear to pick out a palm-sized bone from one of the spider corpses and cleaned the grime off it using the grass.

A purple-black soul bone was finally revealed to them.

"An external soul bone?!" The moment Ah Yin saw the soul bone in Su Yun's hands, she screamed in surprise. Being a soul beast, she naturally knew the preciousness of an external soul bone!

No wonder the system mentioned a special Man-Faced Demon Spider; it must have been the one possessing this external soul bone.

"Little Su Yun, this external soul bone is extraordinary. Even though it comes from a thousand-year soul beast, its unique value lies in the fact that it can evolve along with the absorber's soul power increase. It's considered, aside from a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, the most coveted item by all soul masters!" Ah Yin spoke excitedly, her cheeks flushing with emotion.

"Little Su Yun, I suggest you absorb it quickly. Otherwise, if those people from the Spirit Hall find out, you might not have a say in what happens to this soul bone," Ah Yin urged Su Yun to absorb the soul bone quickly, fearing it might be snatched away by others.

However, after hearing Ah Yin's words, Su Yun didn't rush to absorb the external soul bone but instead chuckled, "Sister Ah Yin, you are a bit over-concerned. Although the external soul bone is valuable, it comes from the highly poisonous Man-Faced Demon Spider, whose toxins strongly conflict with my martial soul and body."

"While absorbing it would indeed benefit me, the benefits are ultimately limited. Rather than absorbing it, it might be better to auction it off in the name of the Spirit Hall to trade for something of higher value to me."

"What do you think of my idea?"

Su Yun's words made Ah Yin fall silent for a moment before she finally spoke up, her tone carrying a hint of reassurance and praise: "I didn't expect you to think more thoroughly than me this time. I was a bit too anxious."

Ah Yin realized she had indeed been too hasty.

Now that she could regain her human form without having to wait for an eternity, she only needed to wait another ten years in that heavenly place for her true body. She didn't need to rush Su Yun to become stronger; she just needed to patiently wait for him to grow.

She planned to seek revenge against the bastard who took over her son's body and the heartless man who deceived her for her soul ring once she regained her true body and strength!

Just as Su Yun was about to respond to Ah Yin, a whooshing sound suddenly arose behind him. Turning his head, he saw none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo.

And by his appearance, although his clothes were slightly torn, his expression was extremely pleased and content.

"Hahaha, good lad, so you've made it here. You've given me quite the search," Chrysanthemum Douluo laughed heartily as he landed from the sky and approached Su Yun.

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo in such a great mood, Su Yun asked, "Grandpa Chrysanthemum, how did the battle go last night?"

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's face immediately displayed a victorious expression, "Heh, those three soul beasts were indeed a bit tricky at first. It seems they've been honing their skills together for many years, with extremely rich combat experience. Although they haven't reached the hundred-thousand-year soul beast level, they were actually able to suppress me slightly with their strength at the beginning."

"However, I naturally wouldn't let them beat me without a fight. I used my martial soul to protect myself while absorbing the remaining medicinal power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in my body, finally perfecting my Indestructible Body."

Pride flashed in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes as he clenched his fist, causing a golden aura to ripple from within him, shaking Su Yun so much that he almost stumbled and fell.

"Wow, such a strong aura!" Su Yun was astonished, "Only a Title Douluo like you, Grandpa Chrysanthemum, could cultivate such a unique physique!"

The Indestructible Body was an extremely tough and invulnerable physique; at this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul could be said to have been further enhanced.

Although he was officially at the 96th level of soul power, facing some Title Douluos who had been immersed in cultivation at the 96th level for many years, he could probably hold his own with his Indestructible Body.

"You kid, your flattery skills must have been learned from Nana, right?" Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at Su Yun, the curl of his lips indicating how much he enjoyed the compliment.

"Now that we're heading back, I can have a good spar with that old ghost again," Chrysanthemum Douluo thought proudly.

Usually, his sparring with the old ghost ended in wins, losses, and draws. This time, he intended to thoroughly outdo the old ghost and gain some prestige in front of Nana.

While Chrysanthemum Douluo was feeling joyful, he suddenly felt Su Yun stealthily tapping his arm.

"Su Yun, what's up?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was puzzled, not understanding the reason behind Su Yun's action.

Su Yun chuckled, "I just got a big treasure and wanted to show it to you."

"A big treasure?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes narrowed slightly, wondering if this lad had found another immortal herb.

Are immortal herbs as common as cabbages here?

If it's a suitable immortal herb, he might reluctantly accept it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo shamelessly pre-empted Su Yun's so-called treasure in his mind and then asked, "What big treasure?"

"This one." Su Yun was waiting for Chrysanthemum Douluo to ask, immediately tossing the external soul bone into his palm.

"This isn't just..." Chrysanthemum Douluo, seeing the purple-black bone in his palm, was about to scoff but hadn't finished speaking when his eyes widened more than a lightbulb!

"This... this is... an external soul bone!"

"Crap (a kind of plant)," Chrysanthemum Douluo gasped, feeling like he was about to ascend to heaven!

He hadn't expected that this venture with Su Yun to hunt for soul rings, initially lucky enough to find a Bi Xin Qing Lian that could save one's life, would also result in Su Yun single-handedly obtaining an external soul bone?!

Could this kid be the reincarnation of the god of luck?

Too absurd!

Although an external soul bone might not be as miraculous as a Bi Xin Qing Lian, which could save someone's life, it's still considered one of the top three treasures on the Douluo Continent!

Chrysanthemum Douluo abruptly turned to Su Yun and asked, "Where did you get this thing from?"

Su Yun spread his hands and turned around, showing

Chrysanthemum Douluo the corpses of Man-Faced Demon Spiders on the ground, explaining what had happened.

"Resting and then surrounded by a group of Man-Faced Demon Spiders, killing them to burst a soul bone?" Although Chrysanthemum Douluo found this explanation unbelievable, Su Yun's tone seemed entirely truthful.

Besides, it's not like a soul beast would come up to Su Yun and tell him it had a soul bone for him to kill and take, right?
