Chapter 116: Soul Bone Skills, Self-Motivation
"Swoosh~"
A huge green figure streaked across the sky like a meteor above a dense forest and disappeared in an instant.
The next second after the green light vanished, the overlord of the forest—a ten-thousand-year-old sub-dragon soul beast—instantly woke from its slumber and looked in the direction where Pidgeot flew, its body trembling.
Although it was just a flash, the forest overlord still sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Pidgeot. That was the pressure of a soul beast of at least 50,000 years.
At this moment, the beast felt fortunate. If it had been targeted, it would have had no chance of escape. With that speed and power, it would surely have become prey.
---
On the other side, Mo Hui and Pidgeot were unaware they had frightened a forest tyrant. At that moment, they had already flown hundreds of miles and crossed the bounds of the forest.
Even while carrying more than ten people, Pidgeot's speed was barely affected. Enhanced by a tailwind, it still flew at 1.5 times the speed of sound—faster than most Title Douluo.
However, maintaining this form consumed a huge amount of Mo Hui's soul power. After flying for about half an hour and getting thousands of kilometers away from Wuhun City, Mo Hui instructed Pidgeot to stop.
After landing, he said to the others:
> "It should be safe here. We can continue on our journey normally."
"Why don't you take us back to Divine Wind Academy directly?"
Feng Xiaotian asked, confused.
Having experienced the incredible flight, Feng Xiaotian found it exhilarating. At Pidgeot's speed, they could be back at the academy in just a few hours.
Hearing this, Feng Qingcang helplessly patted his forehead. The others stared at Feng Xiaotian strangely, as though shocked by the question.
Mo Hui gave Feng Xiaotian a deadpan look:
> "Are you here to replenish my consumed soul power? Do you really think I have infinite reserves?"
If it were just Mo Hui alone, he could have flown straight back to the academy. But with over ten people and Pidgeot enlarged, the soul power consumption was immense. Half an hour of flight had drained four-fifths of Mo Hui's reserves. He had only 20% left—barely enough for emergencies.
"Uh..."
Feng Xiaotian scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly jumped off Pidgeot.
---
The group then resumed normal travel. Mo Hui continued to summon Pidgeot intermittently when his soul power recovered. By sunset, they had finally returned to Kamikaze Academy.
Back in his room, Mo Hui stared at the Wisdom Skull of Spiritual Concentration in front of him, deep in thought.
He faced two choices:
1. Absorb it himself—boosting his mental strength, physical constitution, and potentially gaining several soul levels. It could bring him close to becoming a Soul Emperor.
2. Let Pidgeot absorb it—using it to condense a soul ring during evolution. Based on his previous experience with the Hurricane Trunk Bone, it could result in a near-100,000-year or even true 100,000-year soul ring.
But after careful consideration, Mo Hui gave up the second idea.
Even with the advantages from whale glue and immortal herbs, his body still wasn't ready for a 90,000- or 100,000-year soul ring. At best, he could currently withstand a 40,000-year ring, maybe 45,000 at Level 60.
He wasn't Tang San—he didn't have someone to sacrifice for him.
So, absorbing the soul bone himself was the more reliable choice. It would enhance his spirit power and physical body, raising the quality threshold of his sixth soul ring to 50,000 years or more.
Decision made, Mo Hui reached out and prepared to refine the skull—when suddenly, Pidgeot extended its wings to block him.
Mo Hui, being spiritually connected to Pidgeot, immediately understood its intention and frowned.
> "Pidgeot, do you want to refine this soul bone?"
"Beep~"
Pidgeot nodded.
---
Mo Hui began to think rapidly.
Could an external beast spirit like Pidgeot absorb a soul bone?
It was a question no one had answered—after all, only Mo Hui and Yu Xiaogang possessed this rare type of out-of-body beast martial spirit. And Yu Xiaogang certainly wouldn't let Luo Sanpao absorb a soul bone.
After thinking it over, Mo Hui decided to take a chance.
He tossed the skull to Pidgeot.
It was risky. The spirit bone was at least 50,000 to 60,000 years old. The energy within it was enormous. Handling it improperly could result in backlash or even destruction.
However, because Pidgeot existed separately from Mo Hui, even if something went wrong, it wouldn't directly harm him. If anything, most of the energy would simply be wasted.
But Mo Hui had his reasons.
Not only did he trust Pidgeot instinctively—he also knew that if this worked, he would effectively double his soul bone capacity, making his upper limit higher than any other soul master.
> "Beep~"
Pidgeot gulped down the skull in one bite and began refining it.
Mo Hui kept a close watch for any signs of failure.
Two days passed.
No accidents occurred. Pidgeot successfully absorbed the Wisdom Skull of Spiritual Concentration.
Mo Hui was both relieved and thrilled.
This confirmed that external beast spirits like Pidgeot could indeed absorb soul bones, just like humans.
And when you think about it, it made sense. Soul beasts, even after transforming into human form, could absorb soul bones. Pidgeot, while a projection of Mo Hui, still carried a trace of humanity.

Then came the exciting discovery: the soul skill within the bone.
Soul bone skills aren't fixed—they evolve depending on the soul master.
Pidgeot's new soul skill?
