Chapter 163: The Rewards After Xiao Wu’s Sacrifice

Chapter 163: The Rewards After Xiao Wu's Sacrifice

Buzz—

Soon, all the soul rings around Su Mo retracted into his body.

He opened his eyes and stood up.

Since this was a voluntary sacrifice by Xiao Wu, Su Mo had absorbed everything smoothly and effortlessly. There was no soul turbulence or backlash.

However, Su Mo hadn't forgotten—Xiao Wu had sacrificed even her soul at the end.

According to the original story, after sacrificing her soul, her spirit should have entered Su Mo's body.

Yet, after carefully sensing everything within himself, he found no trace of Xiao Wu's soul.

"No need to search. That little rabbit's soul is hiding inside her soul bone."

"But unless she willingly reveals herself, even with my abilities, I can't force her out."

"Of course, you can't either."

"It looks like she's planning to stay hidden in that soul bone and strike when the time is right."

Bibi Dong's voice echoed in Su Mo's mind, revealing Xiao Wu's whereabouts.

"She's inside this soul bone?"

Su Mo focused and looked at his right arm.

Xiao Wu's right arm soul bone had fused into his body.

He carefully examined it and found that while he could sense the soul bone's properties and the two soul bone abilities he had gained, just as Bibi Dong said, he couldn't detect Xiao Wu's hidden soul.

Since he couldn't sense it, nor could he extract it, Su Mo decided to act as if he wasn't aware of her presence.

"Invincible Golden Body and Void—two life-saving divine skills. Not bad!"

Feeling the two soul abilities he had gained, Su Mo smiled in satisfaction.

Both a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year soul bone granted two abilities.

In the original story, Tang San had also obtained these two abilities. Whether they came from the soul ring or soul bone, Su Mo no longer remembered.

"Teleportation and Eightfold Killing Suplex."

"These two soul bone abilities seem a bit underwhelming."

After testing the abilities, Su Mo felt no surprise.

Teleportation was indeed a powerful survival ability, but he already had an even stronger teleportation technique of his own.

In comparison, this soul ability's teleportation was far inferior, making it essentially useless for him.

As for the Eightfold Killing Suplex, it wasn't particularly useful to him either.

Even so, the soul bone itself still provided a significant enhancement.

Soul bones not only increased his physical attributes but also strengthened his soul power.

Though its abilities weren't impressive, the benefits brought by this hundred-thousand-year soul bone were still considerable.

The only real concern was Xiao Wu's soul hidden inside, waiting for an unknown moment to resurface.

If he wanted to, Su Mo could simply follow Bibi Dong's method and remove the soul bone entirely.

But after some thought, he decided against it.

As long as he was aware of Xiao Wu's presence, he wasn't worried about any tricks she might attempt.

If she did appear, Bibi Dong could easily suppress her.

Buzz—

Su Mo summoned his martial soul, the Soul Hunting Spear.

After absorbing the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, the spear had undergone further enhancements.

While its appearance hadn't changed much, its quality had significantly improved—it was now heavier and far more durable.

Most notably, its flexibility had increased dramatically.

This was the most significant change brought about by absorbing Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

"Su Mo, how is it?"

"What's your soul power level now? What abilities did you gain?"

Bone Douluo stepped forward eagerly, questioning Su Mo.

"Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Bone, my soul power has now reached level 67!"

Su Mo looked at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, smiling as he spoke.

"What?"

"Level 67?"

"How is that possible…"

Hearing his response, both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo widened their eyes in shock.

They had expected Su Mo's soul power to increase significantly after absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

But they had never imagined he would jump straight to level 67—an increase of seven whole levels.

That was an advancement at the Soul Emperor stage!

In an instant, Su Mo had jumped from level 60 to level 67, now only a step away from level 70.

At his current rate of improvement, he could likely reach level 70 and become a Soul Sage within a year.

A Soul Sage under the age of 20…

If someone had told Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo that such a genius could exist, they wouldn't have believed a word of it.

Yet now, they were witnessing it with their own eyes.

"Hahaha! Excellent!"

"Su Mo, you've far surpassed me already…"

After his initial shock, Bone Douluo laughed heartily.

"Well done. Keep working hard—I believe you'll become the youngest Soul Sage in history."

Sword Douluo smiled as well.

"That goes without saying! Su Mo is already the youngest Soul Emperor, and he'll definitely be the youngest Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, and even Title Douluo in the future!"

"Come, tell me—what soul skills did you obtain?"

Bone Douluo, still thrilled, immediately asked about his soul abilities.

"I got two abilities—Invincible Golden Body and Void."

Su Mo grinned, knowing that Bone Douluo was simply excited for him, and answered without hesitation.

"Invincible Golden Body and Void!"

"Amazing! As expected of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring—those are incredible skills!"

The moment Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo heard the names, they instantly recognized how powerful they were, unable to hide their excitement.

These two abilities were legendary in the world of soul masters.

They were known as divine life-saving techniques.

"Yeah, but the soul bone abilities are quite average."

Su Mo then explained the two abilities he had gained from the soul bone.

"…"

After hearing them, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both gave Su Mo a blank stare.

Was he even speaking human language?

Teleportation—an "average" ability?

That was one of the most sought-after soul abilities, hardly something one could call ordinary!

But then they remembered…

Su Mo already had a superior spatial ability, making this soul bone's teleportation practically useless to him.

Realizing this, they had nothing to argue about.

"Brat, stop acting like you've been wronged!"

"Others would kill to have those abilities!"

Bone Douluo finally scolded him in mock annoyance.

"Exactly! This bastard even dares to call my ability trash!"

"You're the real trash!"

Hiding within the depths of the soul bone, Xiao Wu had been listening to Su Mo's words.

Hearing him belittle her soul bone ability, she immediately fumed with rage.

Unlike Bibi Dong, she couldn't share Su Mo's vision—she could only hear what was happening outside.

Being trapped inside her own soul bone was a miserable experience.

For someone as lively as Xiao Wu, this was absolute torment.

But when she remembered the purpose behind her sacrifice, she clenched her teeth and endured it.

For now, she would wait for her chance.

"Third Brother, don't worry! If that bastard Su Mo ever dares to hurt you, I'll make sure he regrets it!"

Xiao Wu vowed firmly in her heart.

"Since we've successfully absorbed the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, it's time to head back."

"The sect master must be worried about us."

Sword Douluo finally spoke up, suggesting their return.

Although things didn't go exactly as planned, Su Mo had achieved his goal of obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

The two soul beasts had also escaped.

Thus, Sword Douluo believed it was best to return.

There was no need to make Ning Fengzhi and the others worry any longer.

"Alright, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Bone, please wait a moment. We'll return right away!"

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

He then squatted down, placing both hands on the ground, and began forming a teleportation array.

Seeing his actions, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo instinctively stepped into the array without hesitation.

Buzz—

As soon as they entered, Su Mo continued channeling his soul power into the formation, keeping his hands pressed firmly against the ground.

Swish—

In an instant, the three of them vanished from the depths of the Star Dou Forest.

When they reappeared, they were already back in the grand hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Su Mo!"

"Grandpa Jian! Grandpa Bone!"

The moment Su Mo and the others appeared, Ning Rongrong, who had been waiting anxiously in the hall, called out in joy.

Ning Fengzhi and Ye Lingling also sighed in relief.

Although they had confidence in Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's strength, they knew that Su Mo had gone to challenge two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.

With Xiao Wu, a transformed hundred-thousand-year-old beast, that made three.

How could they not worry?

Sword Douluo had previously contacted them when Su Mo located his target, and they had been teleported back to the sect ahead of time.

"Su Mo, are you alright?"

"What about Xiao Wu? Didn't you manage to capture her?"

Ning Rongrong grabbed Su Mo's arm and carefully examined him to make sure he was unharmed.

At the same time, she asked about the situation.

Logically speaking, capturing Xiao Wu shouldn't have been an issue for Su Mo.

And if the plan to make the two soul beasts voluntarily sacrifice themselves had succeeded, Su Mo should have been able to bring Xiao Wu back as well.

"There were some unexpected changes…"

Su Mo smiled and explained everything that had happened.

"So Xiao Wu chose to sacrifice herself…"

After hearing Su Mo's words, Ning Rongrong finally understood the situation.

She couldn't help but feel surprised at Xiao Wu's decision.

There was also a trace of sadness.

After all, they had once been good friends.

Now, Xiao Wu had become a sacrifice to Su Mo.

However, Ning Rongrong only felt a brief moment of sorrow.

She didn't blame Su Mo in the slightest.

She knew that Xiao Wu's sacrifice wasn't Su Mo's fault.

If anyone was to blame, it was Xiao Wu herself for falling in love with Tang San.

"Good, good! No matter what, the important thing is that you successfully absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!"

Ning Fengzhi didn't dwell on the details.

After hearing Su Mo's explanation, he immediately cheered in excitement.

"This brat didn't just absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!"

"Su Mo's soul power has already reached level 67!"

Bone Douluo grinned, revealing the detail that Su Mo had yet to mention.

"What?"

"Level 67?"

"…"

Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling all gasped in shock.

Their eyes widened as they stared at Su Mo.

This level of improvement was simply too much!

Seeing their reactions, Bone Douluo secretly enjoyed himself.

Hmph! I was stunned, so you should be too!

"And that's not all! The soul skills he obtained are even more extraordinary…"

With that, Bone Douluo proceeded to explain Su Mo's newly acquired soul skills.

Once again, Ning Fengzhi and the others were left in stunned silence.

…

Deep in the Star Dou Forest, Da Ming and Er Ming had fled far from their previous battleground.

After confirming that no one was pursuing them, they finally found a hidden spot to stop and rest.

"Da Ming, Sister Xiao Wu sacrificed herself!"

"She sacrificed herself for us!"

"I can't accept this—I have to go back and fight them!"

Er Ming turned around, staring toward the direction they had come from, his face filled with grief and rage.

As he spoke, he prepared to charge back for revenge.

Bang—

Before he could move, Da Ming's massive tail swung down, slamming him into the ground.

"If you go back now, Xiao Wu's sacrifice will have been in vain!"

"Do you want her to die without peace?"

Da Ming roared at Er Ming in fury.

He was just as heartbroken and enraged over Xiao Wu's sacrifice.

But what could they do?

Even if they fought to the death, they wouldn't be able to defeat those two Title Douluo.

Da Ming was calm enough to recognize reality.

After witnessing Su Mo's terrifying teleportation ability, he knew that even seeking revenge was nearly impossible.

Su Mo and his allies could leave at any time.

If they stayed and fought, Su Mo could simply summon reinforcements.

Da Ming hadn't forgotten that besides Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, there was also a powerful auxiliary-type Soul Sage supporting them.

Though that person hadn't appeared this time, Su Mo could bring them at any moment.

If that happened, they would be in even greater danger.

That was why Da Ming had immediately chosen to escape with Er Ming—so that Xiao Wu's sacrifice wouldn't be wasted.

"I—"

Hearing Da Ming's words, Er Ming fell silent.

But the unwillingness and fury in his heart didn't fade.

The thought of Xiao Wu's sacrifice filled him with unbearable sorrow.

"Then what do we do? Just let this go?"

Er Ming glared at Da Ming, his rage still burning.

He would follow Da Ming's lead, but if Da Ming said they should simply let this matter rest, he wouldn't agree.

He would avenge Xiao Wu.

"…"

Da Ming remained silent as he looked at the furious Er Ming.

He knew exactly what his companion wanted to hear.

But at this moment, he had no answer.

He also wanted revenge.
