About externally attached soul bones

When I read other fans, I saw a saying that "the externally attached soul bone must be absorbed together with the soul ring", and when I checked Baidu Encyclopedia, I also saw that "the soul ring of the soul beast that dropped this soul bone must be absorbed, and You must first absorb the soul ring before you can absorb the soul bone."

But I looked for it in the original text of Dou Yi, but couldn't find the relevant original text. Maybe I couldn't find the chapter correctly, or maybe the version I read had been changed. After all, Tang San liked to change the text. (If you find it, you can send me the chapter and I will look back at it)

Then I read the relevant chapters of Dou 1, 2, and 3.

Only Dou Yi's Eight Spider Spears are indeed absorbed together with the soul ring, but there is no clear text stating that it "must" be absorbed together.

In the second fight, Huo Gua's Dark Gold Treadclaw Bear right arm bone was the right metacarpal bone that Xuanzi found by cutting off the Dark Gold Treadclaw Bear corpse when Xiao Xiao absorbed the Dark Gold Treadclaw Bear soul ring. After some discussion, , was absorbed by Xiao Xiao, but when he couldn't bear it, he transferred it to Huo Guai's hands; the evil eye tyrant's evil eye attached soul bone was also directly peeled off, instead of being absorbed along with the soul ring.

In Dou San, after Tang Wulin killed the Centennial Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, his right metacarpal bone fell off directly. (It may have something to do with the Spirit Transferring Tower and the Spirit Ascension Platform, but it would also make sense if Dou Er’s setting is continued)

In addition, the attached soul bone can be snatched away if it is not completely fused.

So my second setting here is: the externally attached soul bone has a chance to be absorbed along with the soul ring, but it is not necessary! Tang San's absorption of the Eight Spider Spears was a special case with extremely low probability. In the absence of complete integration, it can be snatched by others.

In this way, it can be regarded as a comprehensive summary of all the situations in the three parts. It may not be recognized by some people. I hope everyone can understand, discuss it reasonably, and refrain from abuse.
