The Power of the Abnormality Bone

Great Sun Blazing Fire Bone, a Great Emperor Cub from the First Life.

Jiang Yuan had attempted to conquer it hundreds of times in his First Life. Though he never succeeded, he did figure out some ways to utilize the abnormal bone.

By stimulating the abnormal bone with his vital energy, he could unleash the energy contained within it. This energy would then surge out, igniting his vital energy and allowing him to unleash incredibly powerful combat strength.

It was like activating Super Saiyan mode.

As for Abnormality, his abnormal bone's flames had an even greater restraining effect on them.

The flames would burn them to ashes, just as darkness could not survive under the great sun.

Moreover, that Shadow Demon from just now seemed to have become fuel for the abnormal bone's flames. After burning the Shadow Demon, a faint warm current flowed into his chest, and his abnormal bone subtly strengthened by a fraction.

Simultaneously, the abnormal bone fed back vital energy, and his own vital energy also slightly increased.

This was something Jiang Yuan had never imagined.

He hadn't noticed it when he killed the first Abnormality.

Could it be that Abnormality could actually strengthen his abnormal bone?

Jiang Yuan was filled with doubt. He knew almost nothing about the abnormal bone.

Jiang Yuan's understanding of the abnormal bone was only gleaned from his constant trials in his First Life.

He would have to continue exploring these things himself.

Jiang Yuan knew far too little about the abnormal bone.

The further east he went, the more barren it became.

The surrounding wheat fields slowly dwindled, replaced by patches of wasteland.

The human settlements also became fewer and fewer, until finally, Jiang Yuan found himself walking alone in the wilderness.

Looking at the mountain range before him, Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sparse trees were scattered across the mountain, but the faint sunlight failed to bring any vitality to the place.

Jiang Yuan walked to the edge of a stream.

The water in this stream was quite clear.

Jiang Yuan slowly squatted down and cupped the stream water to splash onto his face.

He washed away the slightly chapped rouge.

A handsome face was revealed.

"Young man? Why have you come here?"

Jiang Yuan looked up and saw a Fisherman, wearing a straw cape and carrying a bamboo pole with a wooden bucket, walking along the stream.

As if surprised to encounter Jiang Yuan, the Fisherman looked puzzled.

Jiang Yuan showed a gentle smile and said, "Old man, this young one is here for a picnic."

"A picnic? You're picnicking here? Do you know what this place is? It's Soul-Losing Mountain! Young man, don't do anything rash. There are Unclean Things in Soul-Losing Mountain!"

Jiang Yuan smiled shyly and said, "This young one just wants to see these so-called Unclean Things. Besides, old man, if you can fish in this stream, why can't I have a picnic here?"

"Huh?"

"This stream is clear to the bottom, but you tell me you can fish in such a shallow stream? And you're wearing a straw cape in broad daylight, are you trying to fool me!"

Jiang Yuan's smile remained gentle, while the Fisherman's smile suddenly stiffened.

Then it began to contort.

"Kid! I'm trying to help you! It's better to be eaten by monsters in the mountains than..."

The Fisherman's mouth suddenly spat out a tongue as long as a snake, and his face began to shrink, his eyes retracting into his flesh.

It was clearly an Abnormality, though it was unclear if it was a weirdness or a demon.

But before the Fisherman could transform, a blade light with a hint of red glow flashed.

The Fisherman was split in two without a sound, falling to the ground like a split melon.

Jiang Yuan's expression was calm as he casually sheathed his saber.

No wonder this Fisherman Abnormality wasn't in the mountains. With that intelligence and strength, it would probably be devoured by other Abnormality in the mountains, leaving not even bones behind.

Jiang Yuan had only infused a faint power of his abnormal bone into the blade. His strength was still within the realm of a late-stage Vital Energy martial artist, and he had already slain this Abnormality.

Although this Fisherman monster was a bit foolish, it truly looked like a human. If it weren't for the hint from the Precious Jade bestowed by Wenzhao, Jiang Yuan wouldn't have been 100% sure it was an Abnormality.

However, it did confirm that there were indeed Abnormality in Soul-Losing Mountain, and judging by the Fisherman's tone, there were quite a few of them.

Jiang Yuan touched his chest. He had paid special attention just now. When he killed the Fisherman, a nearly imperceptible warm current flowed into his chest along with the abnormal bone power on the blade.

It flowed into the abnormal bone, and the abnormal bone, in turn, fed back to him.

It seemed that killing Abnormality could indeed strengthen his abnormal bone abilities.

Jiang Yuan's eyes held a hint of fervor, and then he cautiously but without hesitation entered Soul-Losing Mountain.

Inside a cave, a pack of wolves watched Jiang Yuan with apprehension.

Jiang Yuan's Chen Saber flashed slightly, melting into the night. Only the blue points of light on the blade streaked across the sky like a comet.

The sound of a body hitting the ground echoed.

[Points +30]

As the last wolf king fell, the surrounding wolves scattered without hesitation.

Jiang Yuan surged forward, seizing the opportunity to kill a few more wolves.

Jiang Yuan only stopped when he could no longer find any wolves.

These wolves weren't beasts, but abnormalities.

Their rotting flesh and exposed white bones were clear signs of their unnatural state.

Jiang Yuan recognized them as abnormalities called 'Green Rot Wolves'.

It was said that these wolf-like monsters were impossible to kill, and the flesh of creatures killed by Green Rot Wolves would rot and automatically merge into the body of a Green Rot Wolf.

However, these abnormalities, which were quite troublesome in the outside world, were no match for Jiang Yuan's attacks, amplified by a sliver of his bone power.

Jiang Yuan walked out of the cave and looked at the sunlight. Yet, the sunlight couldn't dispel the chilling coldness around him.

The wolf den he had just cleared was his biggest haul yet.

After killing three Green Rot Wolf kings and several other Green Rot Wolves, Jiang Yuan had amassed a fortune of 200 points.

Combined with the abnormalities he had hunted over the past two days, Jiang Yuan's points had reached 470.

Abnormalities were hard to find. Even in Soul-Losing Mountain, there were mostly exotic beasts.

Jiang Yuan had only found these few abnormalities after two days of searching.

Now that his points had long surpassed two hundred, he could activate the simulation for his third life. It was also about time to return to the escort agency after being out for two days.

With this thought, Jiang Yuan decided to leave Soul-Losing Mountain.

Jiang Yuan circulated his vital energy, and with a slight lift of his body, he leaped lightly onto a tree.

He then continued to leap from tree to tree, heading out of the mountains.

His vital energy grew increasingly pure and refined, indicating that Jiang Yuan's strength had made significant breakthroughs in the past two days.

The bone power, nourished by the warm current generated when killing abnormalities, fed back into his vital energy, greatly enhancing Jiang Yuan's cultivation.

As Jiang Yuan leaped through the forest, he tilted his head slightly, glancing behind him.

For the past two days, Jiang Yuan had only hunted abnormalities on the outskirts of Soul-Losing Mountain. He knew nothing of its depths, but he knew that the deeper one ventured into this mountain range filled with abnormalities, the more powerful they became.

There were some abnormalities that Jiang Yuan wouldn't dare provoke without fully unleashing his bone power.

However, as Jiang Yuan looked back, his pupils constricted slightly.

A blood-red figure, like a wild beast, flew twisted and madly from behind him.

Jiang Yuan unhesitatingly drew his Chen Saber, the bone power in his chest faintly erupting.

Then, the blood-red figure flew over Jiang Yuan's head without noticing him.

Huh?

What is this?

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly.

Suddenly, the sounds of battle erupted ahead.

Powerful shockwaves destroyed many branches.

Jiang Yuan shielded his face slightly and peered forward.

Less than a hundred meters away, the blood-red figure was fighting three men in blue robes.

These three men in blue robes moved with incredible lightness, their swordsmanship as swift as the wind, clearly originating from the same discipline.

On the ground, several figures lay motionless, and nearby, several young men and women, also dressed in blue, trembled as they watched the battle. Some foolishly tried to intervene.
