"That's right, it's a Soul Bone."
"Mother, you know I don't have a Soul Bone, no, wait..." Quanyi seemed to realize something.
Could this person think I have a Soul Bone?
"Yes. He most likely watched your Soul Fights at the Soul Fight Arena and noticed your extraordinary strength.
He himself also possesses a Soul Bone, so he may have mistakenly believed that you are also a beneficiary of a Soul Bone.
Compared to Soul Rings, Soul Bones have a tremendous amplifying effect on the body. Absorbing a Soul Bone will greatly increase physical fitness.
And this person has personally absorbed a Soul Bone, so he should be even more aware of this.
Therefore, he may have come to the conclusion that you possess a Soul Bone."
This was Su Ling'er's own speculation based on the current situation.
Moreover, Su Ling'er also realized that it was likely because of her that Quanyi's identity was exposed.
After all, in the beginning, when Quanyi appeared with his true face, there were no Soul Masters watching in the audience.
And after One-Punch Man became popular, Quanyi hid his identity, making it even more difficult for the other party to track Quanyi's whereabouts.
The only possibility is that the other party inferred her connection with Quanyi through her existence, thereby confirming the fact that Quanyi is One-Punch Man.
She appeared in the audience for every one of Quanyi's Soul Fights, which was easily discovered by those who were interested.
Thinking of this, Su Ling'er felt even more guilty. She originally wanted to protect Quanyi, but she didn't expect that her existence would put Quanyi in danger.
Quanyi heard his mother's explanation and agreed with her guess in his heart.
Why would a strange Soul Master who doesn't know much about him specifically assassinate him?
It's likely because of the Soul Bone.
Many of Quanyi's doubts suddenly dissipated.
"But, Mother, even if he has a Soul Bone, he's just a Soul Grandmaster, and even I can beat him. How did he hide from your perception and monitor us for so long?" This was Quanyi's biggest doubt.
"This secret may lie in that Soul Bone," Su Ling'er said, glancing at Quanyi's Blazing Sun Heart.
"That Soul Bone should have a special Soul Skill that allows him to observe us while avoiding my perception."
Su Ling'er's first thought was a Soul Bone Skill.
Every Soul Bone Skill has its own unique ability. Because it doesn't rely on Soul Rings but on the Soul Bone, it can be activated quietly without attracting attention.
If there is any means to hide from her perception, the most likely thing is a Soul Bone Skill.
Quanyi suddenly thought of his Propulsion Mode, which was easily dodged by his opponent.
If the opponent's right hand hadn't been unable to dodge due to the inertia of the attack, Quanyi probably wouldn't have been able to touch him with his reaction speed.
"I think it's likely a skill related to the eyes," Quanyi continued to speculate.
"That man's reaction speed was very fast. He dodged the Propulsion Mode I released at close range. I think his eyes should be very good." Then, Quanyi 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 long distance without being discovered, thanks to his super vision.
But fortunately, his skill is not an offensive one, 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 if they are unprepared.
"Yes, I'll pay attention next time."
Quanyi is a smart person. With this thrilling experience, from next time on, he will include Soul Bone Skills in the list of things to be wary of.
"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 not always a good thing. No matter how much he hides, Quanyi is still like dazzling gold, attracting the attention of others.
"Then I'll make my light as strong as the sun, so that others can't look directly at it and dare not approach."
This attack did not scare Quanyi, but instead strengthened his determination to increase his strength.
Looking at the confident light blooming in Quanyi's eyes, Su Ling'er smiled with relief.
"I believe that day won't be long." And then she said in her heart: 'Until that day comes, let me protect you.'
"Mother, can I try to absorb this Soul Bone?"
Quanyi was somewhat tempted, knowing that head Soul Bones were extremely rare.
Moreover, based on the earlier deduction, the Soul Bone's skill was related to the eyes.
This was also a very good choice for him.
His reaction speed and dynamic vision were indeed somewhat lacking compared to his strength and explosive power, and this gap was widening as his strength increased.
Dynamic vision, coupled with farsightedness, was a capability that Quanyi lacked.
Furthermore, aside from the skill, the Soul Bone itself would greatly enhance the body. After absorbing the Soul Bone, he could increase the age of his Soul Rings by several hundred years, which was a great temptation for Quanyi.
"Although it's a precious head Soul Bone, the age of this Soul Ring is a bit low. Moreover, everyone only has one chance for each position. I hope you'll consider it carefully."
Soul Bones were generally divided into six categories: two leg bones, two arm bones, a head bone, and a torso bone.
One could only choose one Soul Bone for each part of the body in their lifetime. Although she did think the Soul Bone's ability was quite good, with Quanyi's talent and potential, a mere thousand-year-old Soul Bone was not worthy of him.
"Okay, then I'll think about it."
There was no need for Quanyi to rush to a decision. After all, the Soul Bone was already in his hands, and he had plenty of time to decide on its use.
"Alright, go down and rest for a while today. Leave the rest to me," Su Ling'er instructed.
Then, Su Ling'er put the assassin's portrait and Soul Fight badge into her bosom.
"I'm not very tired. I want to cultivate," Quanyi said. His Soul Power was somewhat depleted, but his body wasn't in any serious condition, so he wanted to continue cultivating.
"No, today you're not suitable to continue cultivating. Go down and get some rest," Su Ling'er's tone suddenly became stern.
Quanyi had never seen his mother with such a stern expression before. Faced with his mother at this moment, he could only obediently listen.
"Okay, I'll go back and rest now."
Quanyi returned to the resting room and lay down on the bed. Originally full of energy, Quanyi suddenly felt a wave of fatigue.
Before long, he fell into a deep sleep.
After Su Ling'er returned, Quanyi's tense heart relaxed.
Although there wasn't much physical damage, the psychological fatigue couldn't be easily erased.
What's more, today was Quanyi's first time killing someone. In his current state, he was indeed not suitable to continue cultivating.
And Su Ling'er had become so stern because she saw this point.
