#90 - Causes and consequences

"That's right, it's a soul bone."

"Mother, you know I don't have a soul bone, no, wait..." Quan Yi seemed to realize something.

"Could it be that this person thinks I have a soul bone?"

"Yes. He most likely watched your soul fights in the Soul Arena and noticed your extraordinary strength.

He himself also possesses a soul bone, so he might mistakenly believe that you are also a beneficiary of a soul bone.

Compared to soul rings, soul bones have a huge amplifying effect on the body. After absorbing a soul bone, physical fitness will greatly increase.

And this person has personally absorbed a soul bone and should be more aware of this.

Therefore, he may conclude that you possess a soul bone."

This was Su Ling'er's own conjecture based on the current situation.

Moreover, Su Ling'er also realized that it was likely because of her that Quan Yi's identity was exposed.

After all, in the beginning, when Quan Yi appeared with his true face, there were no soul masters watching in the audience.

And after One-Punch Man became popular, Quan Yi hid his identity, making it even more difficult for the other party to track Quan Yi's whereabouts.

The only possibility is that the other party inferred their connection with Quan Yi through her existence, thereby confirming the fact that Quan Yi is One-Punch Man.

She appeared in the audience for every one of Quan Yi's soul fights, which would be easily noticed by someone with ulterior motives. ♝ ♦     ♦ ♦

"But, Mother, even if he has a soul bone, he is only a Soul Grandmaster, and even I can't beat him. How did he hide from your perception and monitor us for so long?" This was Quan Yi's biggest doubt.

"This secret may lie in that soul bone," Su Ling'er glanced at Quan Yi's Fiery Sun Heart and said.

"That soul bone should have special skills that allow him to avoid my perception while still being able to observe us."

The first thing Su Ling'er thought of was soul bone skills.

Each soul bone skill has its own soul bone technique. Because it does not rely on soul rings, but on the soul bone, it can be launched quietly without attracting attention.

If there is any means to hide from her perception, the most likely thing is a soul bone skill.

Quan Yi suddenly thought of his Propulsion Mode being easily dodged by the opponent.

If it weren't for the opponent's right hand being unable to dodge due to the inertia of the attack, Quan Yi might not have been able to touch him at all with his reaction speed.

"I think it's likely an eye-related skill," Quan Yi continued to speculate.

"That man's reaction speed is very fast. He dodged my Propulsion Mode released at extremely close range. I think his eyes should be very good." Then, Quan Yi explained his findings in the battle to Su Ling'er.

"Eyes? Indeed, if it's a soul bone that enhances the eyes, he can indeed observe us from a very far distance with his super vision without being discovered.

But fortunately, his skill is not an offensive skill, otherwise, you would have been in danger today."

Speaking of soul bone skills, she felt a burst of fear. People with soul bones have one more soul skill than ordinary soul masters, and they can easily be caught off guard without any preparation.

"Yes, I will pay attention next time."

Quan Yi is a smart person. With this thrilling experience, from next time onwards, he will include soul bone skills in the options to be vigilant about.

"I didn't expect that even if I hide most of my brilliance, I would still attract malicious gazes," Su Ling'er said helplessly.

Excessively strong talent is sometimes not a good thing. No matter how much he hides, Quan Yi is still like dazzling gold, attracting the attention of others.

"Then let my brilliance become as strong as the sun, so that others cannot look directly at it and dare not approach."

This attack did not scare Quan Yi, but instead made him more determined to increase his strength.

Looking at the confident light blooming in Quan Yi's eyes, Su Ling'er smiled with relief.

"I believe that day will not be too long." And then said in her heart: 'Until that day comes, let me protect you.'

"Mother, can I try to absorb this soul bone?"

Quan Yi was a little tempted. He knew that head soul bones were very rare.

Moreover, according to the previous speculation, the skill of this soul bone is related to the eyes.

This is also a very good choice for him.

His reaction speed and dynamic vision are indeed somewhat lacking compared to strength and explosive power, and this gap is also increasing as his strength becomes stronger.

Dynamic vision, coupled with farsightedness, this ability is what Quan Yi lacks.

Moreover, in addition to the skill, the soul bone itself has a huge amplifying effect on the body. After absorbing the soul bone, he can increase the age of the soul ring by several hundred years, which is a great temptation for Quan Yi.

"Although it is a valuable head soul bone, the age of this soul ring is a bit low. Moreover, everyone only has one chance in each position. I hope you can be cautious."

Soul bones are generally divided into six categories: two leg bones, two arm bones, a head bone, and a torso bone.

Each part can only choose one soul bone in a lifetime. Although she does think that the ability of this soul bone is very good, with Quan Yi's talent and potential, a mere thousand-year-level soul bone is not worthy of Quan Yi.

"Okay, then I'll consider it."

Quan Yi didn't need to rush to decide. After all, the soul bone was already in his hands, and he had plenty of time to decide the use of the soul bone.

"Alright, go down and rest for a while today. Leave the next things to me," Su Ling'er instructed.

Then, Su Ling'er put the assassin's portrait and soul fight badge into her arms.

"I'm not very tired, I want to cultivate," Quan Yi's soul power was a little depleted, but there was nothing serious on his body, so he wanted to continue cultivating.

"No, you are not suitable to continue cultivating today, go down and have a good rest," Su Ling'er's words suddenly became stern.

Quan Yi had never seen his mother with such a stern expression. Facing his mother at this moment, he could only obediently listen.

"Okay, I'll go back to rest now."

Quan Yi returned to the lounge and lay on the bed. Quan Yi, who was originally full of energy, suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness.

Before long, he fell into a drowsy sleep.

After Su Ling'er came back, Quan Yi's tense heart relaxed.

Although there was not much loss on his body, the psychological fatigue could not be easily erased.

What's more, Quan Yi killed someone for the first time today. In his current state, it is indeed not suitable to continue cultivating.

And Su Ling'er became so stern because she saw this.
