Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone

Tang San went to a carriage stable outside the city gates and spent fifteen Gold Soul Coins on a sturdy steed.

He swung into the saddle, took up the reins, and checked his direction.

Sunset Forest lay northeast of Nuoding City, a little over a thousand li away in a straight line. Traveling on horseback along the main roads would take around ten days.

Tang San kept the horse moving at a moderate pace, in no hurry to reach his destination.

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone contained the purest life essence of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Its energy was so immense that absorbing it might cause quite a commotion.

Tang San needed to find a safe place where he could absorb the Soul Bone without worry.

On the third day, Tang San found a cave in a desolate little hill.

He checked the surroundings and found no one within a radius of five li.

Tang San went deep into the cave and blocked its entrance with stones.

With everything ready, Tang San sat cross-legged and took the jade box out of his Storage Ring.

Tang San calmed himself, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the jade box.

The instant the lid came up, a rich breath of life burst from the box.

It was pure and gentle, like the fragrance of earth after a spring rain, like the scent of grass and trees in a forest at dawn. In an instant, it filled the entire cave.

Tang San inhaled deeply and felt every pore in his body relax. It was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring, and the fatigue from days of travel vanished completely.

A bone lay quietly inside the jade box.

It was a complete right leg bone, crystal clear throughout, with a blue-gold luster, as though carved from the finest gemstone.

Veins of blue-gold Soul Power flowed slowly across its surface, like tiny rivers running over the bone, as if it were alive.

On the Douluo Continent, no matter how low a Soul Master's current level was, even if they were only level one, they could directly absorb a Soul Bone and gain all its abilities once they obtained it, even if it was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. This was the most fundamental difference between Soul Bones and Soul Rings, and the underlying reason Soul Masters fought for Soul Bones at any cost.

Soul Bones could grant Soul Masters permanent attribute boosts and special skills. Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones stood at the very top of the pyramid, supreme treasures beyond the reach of countless Soul Masters even after a lifetime of striving.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone not only granted two top-tier Soul Skills, but also greatly enhanced a Soul Master's basic strength in every respect. Strength, speed, reflexes, defense, vitality—each would undergo a qualitative leap.

Tang San reached out and carefully lifted the Soul Bone in both hands.

The moment he picked it up, a warm current of energy flowed through his palms and into his body, spreading along his meridians to his limbs and bones. It felt less like touching a bone than holding a warm hand, giving Tang San an incomparable sense of closeness. Perhaps this was what it felt like to share the same origin with his Martial Soul.

Tang San took a deep breath and pressed the Soul Bone against his right lower leg. The instant bone touched skin, blue-gold light blazed forth, enveloping his entire right leg in a brilliant radiance.

He closed his eyes and, with a thought, set the Soul Power in his body circulating, guiding the energy in the Soul Bone into himself.

"Let's begin."

Boom!!

Inside the cave, powerful Soul Power fluctuations swept outward like a raging wind, striking the stone walls and rebounding to form wave after wave of shock in the enclosed space.

The moment the energy in the Soul Bone was truly activated, a torrent of energy that could overturn mountains and seas surged into Tang San's body.

Though the energy was turbulent, it was filled with immense vitality. It showed no aggression toward Tang San, instead merging rapidly with the energy in his body.

Tang San felt a strange change. It was not pain or a swelling ache, but a warmth, as though he were wrapped in winter sunshine.

Then Tang San felt a slight heat in his right leg, as though it were soaking in warm water, every pore greedily absorbing the warm energy.

The energy started in his right leg and flowed along his meridians to every part of his body. Tang San's bones, muscles, and meridians were all being transformed by it.

Nourished by the Soul Bone's energy, his once ordinary leg bone grew denser at an astonishing rate. Its structure also underwent a subtle change, transforming from ordinary bone into a strange substance somewhere between matter and energy.

Tang San could clearly feel his physical abilities improving at a rate visible to the naked eye.

His strength was increasing, his speed rising, his reactions growing quicker. Most importantly, his vitality was growing wildly.

The sensation was hard to describe. It was as though a sapling no thicker than a chopstick had been infused with centuries of nourishment in the space of a few breaths, shooting up wildly into a towering tree.

Tang San did not know how much time had passed. Perhaps it had been five or six shichen.

When the last wisp of the Soul Bone's energy merged into Tang San's body, the blue-gold light gradually receded, finally disappearing into him completely.

Tang San opened his eyes and let out a long breath of turbid air.

Tang San looked down at his hands. His skin was fairer and smoother than before, and he felt an unprecedented lightness and strength throughout his body, especially in his right leg.

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had greatly enhanced his basic attributes and opened every meridian in his body. Even some of the smaller channels that Soul Power had once struggled to reach had been cleared by the rush of energy. His meridians had also grown tougher, wider, and sturdier than before, capable of withstanding a greater flow of Soul Power.

As his Qi and blood seethed, the speed at which his Soul Power circulated soared. Tang San could feel the Soul Power in his body flowing like a heated river, more than twice as fast as before. His Soul Power Level had also successfully broken through the bottleneck at level twenty.

Tang San closed his eyes and sank deep into his consciousness to sense the two Soul Skills bestowed upon him by the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

As expected, the first Soul Skill was flight.

The corners of Tang San's mouth curved up slightly. He did not know why Blue Silver Grass could grant a flight skill, but who cared? Flight was one of the very best movement abilities in any system, in any world.

The second Soul Skill was "Wildfire Cannot Burn It All Away; the Spring Breeze Brings It Back to Life."

It was a top-tier divine healing skill that could rapidly regenerate the body after severe injuries or even the loss of a limb, healing every wound within five seconds. As his level increased in the future, the skill could also be used to heal others.

The first thing Tang San thought of was Bibi Dong's "Undying Body." The two skills should be evenly matched.

With it, Tang San had gained an extra life in battle.

With a thought, Tang San summoned a stalk of Blue Silver Grass into his right palm.

This time, the changes in the Blue Silver Grass were even more apparent than before.

Its stem was more than twice as thick as before, its color had changed from emerald green to a deeper dark green, and its leaves were broad and thick as blades, with extremely sharp edges.

Tang San flicked the Blue Silver Grass's stalk with a finger. It gave a crisp "ting," as though he had flicked metal.

Its toughness had increased by at least a full fold compared to before he absorbed the Soul Bone.

Now, even an expert at the Soul Elder level would probably have to exert considerable effort to tear Tang San's Blue Silver Grass apart barehanded.

Combined with the toughness boost from his first Soul Skill, Evergreen Body, the Blue Silver Grass would reach an even more terrifying level of strength. Tang San dared not imagine how tough it would become if he awakened the Blue Silver Emperor in the future and continued stacking vitality Soul Rings on top of that. Perhaps by then, even ordinary Soul Kings and Soul Emperors would be unable to tear his Blue Silver Grass apart barehanded.

Tang San recalled the Blue Silver Grass into his body, moved the large stones away from the cave entrance, and walked outside.

It was noon outside. The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless for ten thousand li.

Tang San stood at the cave entrance for a while, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face, and took a deep breath.

Next came the Second Soul Ring.
