Douluo Continent: Rebirth of Ma Hongjun, Phoenix of Ultimate Light

Chapter 21 Experiment! A Powerful Attack! We've Chosen the Right Path!

Oscar's face turned completely pale.

He looked down at his golden bear paw and felt fear for the first time.

This is not a treasure.

This is a hot potato.

"So, you'd better remember this."

Flander's voice was like a knife, every word piercing Oscar's heart:

"Try not to reveal your external soul bone to outsiders. If you accidentally do, kill anyone who has seen you use it, leave no one alive. This is the safest way to deal with you."

Oscar shuddered.

kill.

Flanders was talking about murder.

An eight-year-old child hears the word "murder" spoken so casually for the first time, and the victim is himself.

"I...I understand." Oscar's voice trembled slightly, but he nodded vigorously. "I will definitely not expose it easily."

Seeing his terrified expression, Flander softened his tone slightly.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you don't reveal it, no one will know you have this. Using it in front of us is fine. Using it in front of trusted friends is also fine. But remember what I just said—any outsider who might leak this information will not leave alive."

Oscar took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"I see."

He looked at his bear paw with a complicated expression.

This was his treasure, and also his death warrant.

He must learn to find a balance between the two.

Ma Hongjun watched all this silently from the side without saying a word.

He knew there were many precedents for external soul bones in the original work.

Tang San obtained the Eight Spider Lances while hunting the Man-Faced Demon Spider. He carefully hid them in the early stages until he was forced to use them publicly during the competition.

The same principle applies to Oscar's bear paw.

However, this also illustrates one thing—

He truly activated Oscar's luck.

A food-type soul master with innate full soul power obtained an external soul bone in his second soul ring.

This kind of luck can no longer be explained by "good talent".

Perhaps Oscar himself is someone favored by fate.

However, in the original story, his luck was always overshadowed by Tang San's brilliance.

In this life, what Ma Hongjun needs to do is to gradually unleash these hidden brilliances.

.....

After the initial excitement wore off, Oscar looked at his golden bear paw and suddenly remembered a question.

"Just how powerful are my bear claws?"

Flanders glanced at him and pointed to a huge rock not far away.

"Why don't you try and see?"

The rock was more than a person tall, its surface covered with moss and cracks, and it weighed at least a thousand kilograms.

It is a giant rock commonly found in forests, with a hard texture; ordinary swords and knives cannot even leave a mark when they are cut into it.

Oscar walked up to the rock and took a deep breath.

He ate one of his own power sausages first.

"I have a super strong gut!"

The moment the incantation was uttered, Oscar felt a surge of heat rise from his lower abdomen and flow to his limbs and bones.

His muscles bulged slightly, his bones made a soft cracking sound, and his whole body was full of power.

This feeling is unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

He looked down at his right palm and activated his soul power.

A golden light shone, and his right palm instantly deformed.

The five fingers grew thicker, the nails grew longer, and brown fur emerged from the skin, forming a majestic bear paw.

Oscar took a deep breath, swung his bear paw, and smashed it down on the huge rock.

boom!

A loud bang.

Gravel flew everywhere.

He cleaved the huge rock, which was taller than a person, in two with a single claw.

The cross-section was so clean it looked as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, with cracks extending from the top to the bottom. The entire rock collapsed to both sides, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Oscar stared blankly at his right paw, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist.

"This... I did this?"

Flander's eyelids twitched.

Zhao Wuji cursed out loud: "Damn it, this kid really hit the jackpot!"

Li Yusong and Lu Qibin exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Shao Xin opened his mouth, and after a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "A food-type Soul Master... capable of shattering rocks with a single claw?"

Ma Hongjun stood to the side, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It wasn't just bad luck.

This is the path that truly works.

Oscar snapped out of his daze, excited like a madman, hacking and slashing at the remaining rubble. Claws shot from his fingertips, drawing three golden arcs in the air, further slicing several pieces of rubble into smaller fragments.

"Enough! Enough!"

Flander grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up like a chick.

"If you keep cutting down trees, you'll destroy this whole forest."

Oscar was suspended in mid-air, but he still had a silly grin on his face.

"Teacher, I can fight now... I really can fight now..."

Flanders looked at him, his gaze complex.

A food-type Soul Master, relying on his Soul Skills and External Soul Bones, shattered a thousand-pound boulder with a single claw.

He would never have dared to imagine this before.

But today, he saw it with his own eyes.

"Alright, get down." Flander put him back on the ground. "Pack up and get ready to go back."

-

Ma Hongjun walked to the body of the Mighty King Kong Bear, squatted down, and examined it carefully.

Although this bear is dead, it is a treasure trove from head to toe.

Bear hide is tough and thick, making it a superior material for making armor.

Bear meat is rich in soul essence, and when boiled into a medicinal bath, it is very beneficial to the cultivation of soul masters.

Bear bones, bear bile, and bear paws—each of these can fetch a high price.

Several teachers also came over.

"The storage soul tool has limited space; you can only take the most valuable parts."

Flanders said, "Skin, bones, gallbladder, paws—take those. Meat takes up too much space; take as much as you can."

Without saying a word, Zhao Wuji took out a dagger and began to dissect the bear carcass.

His movements were practiced, clearly not the first time he had done something like this.

First, peel off the skin, then remove the bones, and finally take out the gallbladder and cut the palm—all done in one smooth, clean, and efficient motion.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were also busy helping out.

Ma Hongjun was responsible for loading the disassembled parts into the storage soul guide.

He was making plans in his mind as he put on the costume.

Bear skin can be used to make two pieces of armor, bear bones can be ground into bone powder to make medicine, bear bile is a precious medicinal material, and bear paws are a highly nutritious food.

These things are no longer of much use to Soul Saints and Soul Emperors like Flander and Zhao Wuji.

But for him and Oscar, who are at the level of first-ring and second-ring Great Soul Masters, it is a rare treasure.

"Take as much bear meat as you can."

Shao Xin added from the side, "The meat contains the essence of the Mighty Vajra Bear's power. Take it back and make soup; it will be very beneficial to both of your health. Especially Xiao Ao, who just absorbed a spirit ring and an external spirit bone, and needs to replenish his strength."

Oscar's eyes lit up when he heard the words "making soup".

He knew about Teacher Shao Xin's culinary skills.

Once the ingredients are in his hands, they become more than just food; they become medicine.
