He seemed to have gone mad, disregarding the damage to his foundation, and frantically unleashed his soul skills at Dongfang Jing.
However, Dongfang Jing's movements were elusive and agile.
By frequently swapping positions with the mirror image, all attacks missed.
You can't hit him at all!
Haote mustered his last breath and unleashed another Ice Bear Impact!
boom!
Amidst the heavy, muffled thud,
The Soul Master's head shattered like a watermelon.
Haote was panting heavily, his face as pale as paper.
His body swayed, his soul power completely exhausted. He was about to collapse to the ground.
A strong but slightly thin arm caught him just in time.
Dongfang Jing's voice came through, still calm: "Brother Haote, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Haote waved his hand, his voice weak. "My soul power is exhausted. I just need to rest for a while."
"Hmm, we shouldn't stay here any longer. The smell of blood is too strong and might attract powerful soul beasts. Brother, please stay where you are and don't move. I'll be right back."
Dongfang Jing said something and quickly walked to the bodies of the men, efficiently searching them for all their valuables.
"Huh? This is..."
He found an inconspicuous black ring on the dark-faced man's finger.
"Storage Soul Tool!"
Dongfang Jing was overjoyed.
He was worried that he had a lot of bags and packages to carry, but he never expected to be so lucky and get such a good thing!
Storage soul tools are very valuable and difficult to buy on the market.
I heard that it's only sold at auctions, but it would cost at least tens of thousands of gold soul coins.
"Although this ring only has one cubic meter of storage space, it's better than nothing. Something is better than nothing."
After carefully checking and confirming that nothing had been missed, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Aside from some soul beast materials, these people only had a few tattered clothes and a small amount of soul coins left.
He shook his head in disgust and walked to the corpse of the Mirror Beast.
He took out his knife and carefully scraped off all the valuable scales.
If this soul beast were still alive, he would never have done such a thing.
But since they're already dead, wouldn't it be a waste to let others benefit from these materials if we didn't take them?
Moreover, he didn't take these scales to exchange for money.
After everything is properly handled
The boy helped Haote up and they found a secluded, sheltered, and safe place to rest.
Dongfang Jing immediately used the soul beast materials from the storage soul tool on her finger.
He took out all the spoils he had previously plundered and piled them in front of Haote.
"Brother Haote, you deserve this."
Haote is not a pedantic person.
Although he disdained to actively kill for treasure,
But since the other party had already intended to kill him, he felt no guilt about taking the spoils.
However, he shook his head: "Let's split it in half. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to leave this forest alive."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing smiled and said, "It's all because you stood up for me, brother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been targeted by them. Just accept it. If it weren't for you, brother, how could I have obtained such a suitable spirit ring today? Not to mention this unexpected spirit bone."
Mentioning the Soul Bone, a warm feeling welled up in Dongfang Jing's heart.
Haote and he were not related, yet Haote was willing to give up this great opportunity for him, and even risked turning against his former teammates to protect him.
This was the first time he had ever truly felt the unreserved kindness of a stranger since his parents passed away.
Upon hearing this, Haote's face showed a hint of shame.
He is straightforward and doesn't like to hide things.
He sighed and admitted, "Actually, the moment I saw the soul bone, I also had the idea of keeping it all for myself."
"But in the end, you still chose to stand up for me, brother." Dongfang Jing shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care.
Soul masters of the world, when faced with such a supreme treasure as a soul bone,
Who can achieve a state of perfect inner peace?
The boy's open-minded and insightful attitude left Haote speechless for a moment.
He then laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Good! Good lad! Such a magnanimous heart at such a young age! I admire you! To be honest, although I didn't make the same choice as them in the end, I did have some selfish motives when I stood up for you, thinking of making a good connection and investing in your future."
Chapter 22 Separation from Hohhot: What is Good and Evil?
Outside the frozen forest, a cold wind swept through the trees.
It carried a hint of chill.
Haote looked at the boy beside him, his eyes full of admiration.
"Little Mirror, I have never seen such a genius as you. At this rate of cultivation, you will probably surpass me soon. You may not, but you will definitely become the top Title Douluo on the continent!"
He patted Dongfang Jing on the shoulder, grinned, and revealed his snow-white teeth: "Since you call me big brother, I'll be relying on you from now on! The stronger you become, the stronger my backing will be, right?"
After hearing these heartfelt words
No, whether that's true or false.
Dongfang Jingdu could feel the other party's sincerity.
His eyes flickered slightly, he pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he solemnly nodded: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely become a Title Douluo!"
After a slight pause, he handed the soul beast materials in his hand forward again: "However, you should still accept these."
Since things have come to this point,
Seeing that he insisted, Haote stopped refusing and accepted it with a smile: "Okay, then I won't be polite!"
He stored the materials into his soul tool.
Then he leaned closer and lowered his voice, asking, "By the way, Little Mirror, did you really absorb that soul bone? I've never heard of an eyeball-type soul bone before. Show it to me."
Haote looked curious, while Dongfang Jing was even more bewildered.
After all, he hadn't read the original work, and the books sold on the market wouldn't record any specific information about the soul bone.
Ordinary Soul Masters only know of the existence of such treasures through word of mouth.
Dongfang Jing gently stroked his eyeballs through his eyelids.
Okay, I can't feel anything.
But one can clearly sense a strange and subtle energy hidden deep within his eyes.
With a slight thought, he raised his right hand in a gesture of support.
A mirror appeared in the palm of his hand.
He then tried to activate it using his soul power.
After a long pause, he slowly opened his eyes.
His originally deep purple eyes suddenly underwent a strange change.
The outermost layer of the pupil is covered by an extremely thin, almost transparent lens.
That wasn't a complete piece.
Instead, it is composed of countless extremely tiny, irregularly shaped polygonal fragments.
The patterns resemble ice cracks, and are virtually imperceptible unless you look closely.
You can't notice it unless you look closely.
"My goodness!" Hao Te leaned closer, his eyes wide open. "Does it have any special abilities?"
Dongfang Jing concentrated intently on the attempt, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
"What? Is it hard to control?"
He nodded slightly, his voice a little dry: "It's a bit difficult."
Haote stroked the coarse stubble on his chin, seemingly lost in thought: "Perhaps it's because you've just integrated it and need some time to adapt. Don't rush, you'll gradually become more proficient and master it one day."
Dongfang Jing remained silent and continued to channel his soul power.
Gradually, the purple in his eyes lightened, turning into a cold silver-gray.
The tiny, polygonal lenses began to rotate extremely slowly, each one rotating clockwise.
They move very slowly, but if you look closely, you can detect that they are flowing silently.
It resembles a constantly flowing vortex composed of countless tiny mirrors.
The longer you look at it, the more disoriented and dazed you become.
"Uh"
Dongfang Jing suddenly groaned and instinctively covered his eyes.
Haote quickly dissuaded him, "Forget it, don't be stubborn. You'll understand the power of your soul bone later."
After a short while, Dongfang Jing lowered his hand and said in a low voice, "I feel that this is not an offensive or destructive soul bone, but rather more of a support type."
“Hmm.” Haote agreed, “After all, it came from the Mirror Beast. Although the Mirror Beast is strong, its attack methods are very limited. The soul bone is not an offensive type, so it makes sense.”
Dongfang Jing rubbed his temples, but his brows remained furrowed: "Soul bones usually have six parts: head, torso, left and right arms, left and right legs, but what about these eyeballs?"
