"Brother Weisi, are you saying that there's an external soul bone in my eye? You must be joking!"
After spending so much time with Dai Weisi, Anna had learned a lot about soul bones and naturally understood what an external soul bone was.
As far as she knew, Dai Weisi possessed two external soul bones in his hands—the left and right palm bones of the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear.
Anna asked naively, "Brother Weisi, if it's a soul bone, shouldn't it merge with a person's bones? How could it fuse with my eye? Are you saying that eyes are bones too?"
"You're right, normal soul bones do fuse with a person's skeleton. But external soul bones are different."
After pausing for a moment, Dai Weisi explained his understanding. "Soul bones in other areas do merge with the bones—like your torso bone, Nana, which has fused with your ribs. But external soul bones don't fuse the same way. They connect instead."
As he spoke, Dai Weisi revealed his Darkgolden Terrorclaw right palm bone. At that moment, his right hand resembled the claws of Wolverine.
"External soul bones connect with the bones of the human body. My right palm bone is connected to my palm bones.
"Your external soul bone is connected to your skull, and its power affects your eyes. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Hmm…" Anna nodded, half understanding. Even though she didn't fully grasp it, it still felt very impressive.
"So in short, I've also obtained an external soul bone, just like you, haven't I?"
"Haha, that's right." Dai Weisi smiled. He didn't expect a little girl like Anna to fully understand it all.
"Your external soul bone is in your eyes. If I'm not mistaken, it must be related to spiritual power. And since the Demon-Eyed Spirit Tree had a cultivation level of over ten thousand years, your external soul bone might already possess a soul bone skill. Go ahead, give it a try."
"Okay!"
Anna smiled eagerly and immediately activated her external soul bone. Having already possessed a torso bone, she was no stranger to releasing soul bones.
In an instant, the girl's pupils turned green once again. Eye-type external soul bones had the advantage of being hard to detect—after all, people with heterochromia weren't rare on the Douluo Continent.
Take Dai Weisi himself, for example. He was born with heterochromia. Then there were others like Dugu Yan and Dai Mubai. This was one of the key advantages of eye-type external soul bones.
"Alright, now try releasing the soul skill."
"No problem."
Anna was very familiar with how to activate a soul bone skill. A wave of invisible spiritual energy spread outward, instantly enveloping both Li Hu and Dai Weisi.
After being struck by the wave, Li Hu felt his head spinning. "Ugh, I feel so dizzy! Miss Anna, is this your soul bone skill? Your Highness, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Dai Weisi's spiritual power far exceeded Anna's. On top of that, he had consumed the Seeing-Through Autumn Dew, so he wasn't affected by the spiritual shock.
"Brother Weisi, I know what my Evil Spirit Eye can do now." In that moment, Anna had already come up with a name for her external soul bone and began to explain.
"My external soul bone comes with a skill called Tree-Eye Paralysis. It releases a mental shockwave around me that paralyzes the nervous system of others.
"Anyone whose spiritual power is weaker than mine will be completely paralyzed, unable to move. Even if their spiritual power is slightly stronger, Tree-Eye Paralysis will still hinder their movement. But if the enemy's spiritual power is much greater than mine, then the skill won't work.
"Also, my Evil Spirit Eye greatly boosts my spiritual power and enhances my dynamic vision, allowing me to see things much more clearly. Like your external soul bone, Brother, mine will also grow stronger as my strength increases."
"Very good, Nana—congratulations on obtaining an external soul bone!"
Dai Weisi smiled. Her soul bone skill was extremely practical. A spiritual shockwave like that was, in a sense, a group control skill and worked as an effective preemptive move.
Even more impressive was that as the soul bone matured, both the range and strength of Tree-Eye Paralysis would increase as well.
After congratulating her, Dai Weisi's tone turned serious. "Nana, although your Evil Spirit Eye is hard to detect, you must still keep it secret. Never tell anyone that you have an external soul bone, understood?"
"Mm! I understand, Brother! I'll keep it a secret!"
Anna nodded. She naturally understood that soul masters often fought over soul bones. For those who possessed them, unless they were Titled Douluos, it was almost inevitable they'd become targets.
"Alright, it's getting late. Shall we head back?"
Once Anna retracted her Evil Spirit Eye, the group quickly departed from the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, the forest was far too dangerous—leaving it as soon as possible was the wisest choice.
The three of them spent half a month traveling and eventually exited the forest, returning to Star Luo City.
"Vis, you're finally back!"
As soon as Dai Weisi stepped into the Crown Prince's mansion, he was greeted by Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, who had come out to welcome them. He immediately joked, "It's been a whole month. Did my lovely wives miss me?"
As soon as those words left his mouth, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate cheeks flushed bright red. But Zhu Zhuyun, being more experienced, wasn't as shy. Instead, she batted her lashes flirtatiously and looked at him with sultry eyes, her breath soft and fragrant.
"Of course I missed you. Ever since you left, I've been thinking about you every single day. If you hadn't come back soon, I would've gone crazy."
"Haha, in that case, I'll make sure to give you some special attention tonight." Dai Weisi smiled. He didn't mind Zhu Zhuyun's seductive demeanor—after all, he was the one who had trained her to be this way...
Dai Weisi stepped forward and first gave Zhu Zhuqing a hug, then wrapped his arm around Zhu Zhuyun's slender waist, greedily inhaling her sweet fragrance.
"By the way, Zhuyun, did Shen Xiang and the others take the Essence-Nurturing Pills?"
"Yes, I gave them all the pills. And I must say, President Yang's alchemy skills are truly impressive. After taking the pills, Tang Hongning's soul power instantly broke through to level 40. Even Xiao Hui and Ming Xin reached level 39."
"I plan to wait until both of them reach level 40 before taking them to obtain their fourth soul rings. As for little sister Shen Xiang, her soul power has already reached level 25."
"Really? That's great news!"
Dai Weisi smiled. With his and his two wives' Martial Soul Fusion Technique—plus support from Dong Hui and the others—winning the championship at the upcoming Soul Master Tournament was practically guaranteed.
"Next… I'll need to make a trip to Heaven Dou City as well." Dai Weisi thought to himself. Once he met Tang Yuehua, he might be able to persuade her to bring the Clear Sky Sect into the Star Luo Empire's camp. If that happened, the empire's strength would no doubt rise to a whole new level.
Having made up his mind, Dai Weisi went to the palace the next day and informed his father that he planned to head to the Heaven Dou Empire.
