Chapter 37: Soul Skills Brought by the External Soul Bone
"Is this a mutant of the Mirror Beast? Is there any difference from a normal Mirror Beast?" He Caitou asked curiously as he looked at the giant blue soul beast begging for mercy in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Fan Yu also looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao explained: "A normal mirror beast is several meters long, blue in color, with two horns on its head, and its entire body is covered with mirror-like scales."

"As a result of the mutation, the appearance of mutant soul beasts will also change. Sometimes it is the body shape that changes, and sometimes it is an extra part."

Huo Yuhao pointed at the third horn in the middle of the mirror beast's mutant head and said.

"Mirror Beast is a very special soul beast. It should be an agile soul beast. But its innate soul skill has nothing to do with agility."

"Its innate soul skills often grant the soul master the ability to use the soul skills of other soul masters."

"And this Mirror Beast variant has even mutated into a spiritual attribute, plus its cultivation level is similar, so I asked the teacher to take action immediately."

Huo Yuhao took the initiative to explain.

“Since you, Yuhao, have chosen this soul beast, the teacher believes in you.” Fan Yu helped Huo Yuhao beat the mutant of the mirror beast that was begging for mercy until it was only left with one breath.

“Okay, teacher.” Huo Yuhao nodded, took out a dagger, and stabbed it into the neck of the mirror beast, killing it.

Then he began to sit cross-legged and absorb the energy overflowing from the mirror beast.

"Yuhao, the most powerful energy of the Mirror Beast is the energy that represents his innate soul skill. You concentrate on absorbing it, and I will help you guide this energy."

"Okay, Brother Tianmeng."

On the back of the quiet hill, Fanyu and He Caitou looked in two different directions, guarding against other creatures suddenly approaching.

Under the guidance of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao's second soul ring gradually took shape.

“Guide, guide…” The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was always ready to guide any excess energy to prevent uncontrollable damage to Huo Yuhao’s body.

As the energy was guided step by step, a purple soul ring gradually formed. It was not until this time that Fan Yu realized that this was actually a thousand-year-old soul beast.

But the soul ring absorption process cannot be interrupted, so no matter how anxious Fan Yu is, he can only pray that Huo Yuhao can successfully absorb the soul ring.

But in fact, the absorption process that was full of dangers in Fan Yu's eyes was not dangerous at all for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Not to mention that the soul rings of soul beasts with spiritual attributes are not only related to the body's endurance, but also to the amount of spiritual power.

Even if you don't have these, there is Tianmeng Ice Silkworm as a backup.

When the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm transformed into Huo Yuhao's wisdom soul ring, it sealed its own soul power of a million years within Huo Yuhao's body. So how could it not do anything to this tiny thousand-year soul ring?

No matter how much energy there is, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm can rely on its own experience to guide and seal this energy.

But just before Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was about to take action, Alex suddenly stopped Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Big Bug, don't be anxious. Look carefully. The extra energy has gradually merged into Yu Hao's body. It seems to be forming something new."

“Oh! It looks like an external soul bone?!” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm discovered that the thing that was about to form in Huo Yuhao’s body was a bit like an external soul bone.

At the same time, in the real world, Master Fan Yu and his apprentice, who were anxiously waiting, also noticed the changes in Huo Yuhao.

Just as the purple Millennium Soul Ring was about to form, Huo Yuhao’s upper body clothes suddenly exploded, and a purple light flashed on his chest.

As the light gradually faded, a dense black pattern emerged under the curious gaze of the two people.

The pattern was simple and complex, and one could vaguely make out a human figure.

Although the little man didn't have a specific appearance, it gave people a vivid feeling as if it would jump out of the box at any moment. "Huh! It's done!"

A gentle breeze blew, and the surrounding leaves swayed gently. Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.

"Yuhao, did you succeed?" He Caitou came over to care about Huo Yuhao first, and Teacher Fanyu was also watching from the side.

“Of course.” Huo Yuhao smiled confidently, and with a thought, two soul rings, one white and one purple, appeared.

“The first ten years, the second thousand years. Junior brother, you are really not an ordinary person!” He Caitou looked at Huo Yuhao’s strange combination of spirit rings and couldn’t help but complain.

“Hehe, this is all luck.” Huo Yuhao laughed.

“By the way, Junior Brother, what is that thing on your chest?” He Caitou pointed at the pattern on Huo Yuhao’s chest.

Huo Yuhao then noticed that the clothes on his body had been shattered into pieces at some point, and there was a dense black human-shaped pattern on his chest.

"This is····"

"This is an external soul bone." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm jumped out, "Xiao Yuhao, you move your energy to this soul bone and see what effect it has."

“Okay.” Huo Yuhao nodded secretly, his mind moved, his soul power circulated, and the black pattern shone brightly.

When the light disappeared, the black pattern also disappeared.

Instead, there were three stunned people and another... Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao looked in surprise at the person standing opposite him, who looked exactly like him, and could hardly believe his eyes.

Huo Yuhao’s mind moved, and the mirror clone standing opposite him acted according to Huo Yuhao’s wishes.

Huo Yuhao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately began to issue more complex instructions, but the mirror clone was able to complete every instruction very well.

Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that this mirror clone was like his own arm. It had no thoughts of its own, but would act according to Huo Yuhao’s wishes.

Although it can exist for a long time, it has no soul power and only its physical fitness is comparable to that of the original body.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness is quite poor.

Of course, if that were all, the soul skills that this external soul bone brought to Huo Yuhao would be a bit useless.

But in fact, the real meaning of the existence of this mirror clone is: if Huo Yuhao's original body dies, the external soul bone will use its last strength to give birth to a mirror clone.

At the moment of the original body's death, all of the original body's power will be transferred to the clone.

In other words, this thing is equivalent to Huo Yuhao's second life.

However, after obtaining the second life, is there any chance to obtain a third life? In fact, as long as one of the clone and the original body is immortal, they will never die.

Huo Yuhao didn’t know, and he didn’t want to know.

It would be best if you don’t even have to use your second life.

However, Huo Yuhao did not tell Teacher Fan Yu and his senior brother about the matter of the second life, and Huo Yuhao was determined not to tell anyone about this matter.

Make it a trump card that only you know.

　Thanks to Gellert Grindelwald for the two monthly tickets. This nickname really makes me feel excited.
