Absorbing the Right Palm Bone, Wu Changkong Comes Looking for Trouble

What Shiyu wanted to hear was naturally not that, but it was not convenient for him to say much more.

If he revealed that he knew her true background, she might very well contact Di Tian and have him kill Shiyu to silence him.

For now, he had better avoid provoking an expert of Di Tian's caliber.

"Do you not intend to tell me where you come from?" Seeing that he remained silent for so long, Gu Yue could not help growing irritated.

"I don't have much of a background." Shiyu did not want to say more. In truth, there was not much he could say.

He could not reveal his real origins, and he could not be bothered to make up fake ones.

Boom! Shiyu suddenly closed in on Gu Yue and struck out with his palm.

Gu Yue reacted faster than he had expected. She actually managed to respond, mobilizing the elements and gathering them in her palm to clash with his Power of Space.

The powerful impact forced Shiyu back, and then he vanished into thin air.

Gu Yue staggered backward. Before she could steady herself, a chill ran down her back. This time, she failed to react.

The Eight Spider Lances pierced through Gu Yue's body, making her stiffen. She did not struggle further, only doing her best to turn her head and look at Shiyu once.

"This won't end like this." After saying that, Gu Yue transformed into energy and vanished from the area.

Shiyu shrugged helplessly. He knew Gu Yue might now bear a grudge against him. He truly did not want to offend Gu Yue; after all, she was the Silver Dragon King, with an expert like Di Tian behind her whom she could summon.

If she directly called Di Tian over for revenge, it would truly be fatal for him.

But there was nothing he could do about it. If he wanted this External Soul Bone, a conflict with them was unavoidable. Things reaching this point had been inevitable.

Still, the situation was not quite that terrible.

The degree of enmity between them should not yet be enough for her to summon Di Tian.

She probably did not want to contact Di Tian either, lest his arrival prove detrimental to Tang Wulin.

With that thought, Shiyu felt much less pressure. As long as he safely got through the next few days, he would say goodbye to them anyway, so there was no need to worry too much.

Shiyu stopped thinking about it and turned his attention to the External Soul Bone in his hand.

In the era of Legend of the Dragon King, Soul Bones had risen to the level of Dragon Bones.

The vast majority of Soul Bones could not compare to Dragon Bones, but External Soul Bones might be an exception.

These Soul Bones possessed growth potential, with limitless possibilities. In the future, they might even grow strong enough to surpass Dragon Bones.

It was precisely because he valued this Soul Bone's potential that he was determined to obtain it.

He already had the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone. Adding a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear External Soul Bone would give him two External Soul Bones, which would certainly help him greatly.

After looking around, he went to a densely wooded area, sat down, and began absorbing the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Palm Bone.

Absorbing a Soul Bone within the Spirit Ascension Platform felt somewhat different from doing so outside. It was much smoother.

"Should I stop him?" Vice Tower Master Li, who had been monitoring the situation inside, fell into deep hesitation.

Some Spirit Beasts within the Spirit Ascension Platform were manifested from Soul Bone energy.

These Soul Bones had generally been used to their limits in the normal world and were on the verge of collapse. Their energy was extracted and integrated into the Spirit Ascension Platform so they could continue to provide value.

Of course, there was also Soul Bone energy that Spirit Masters preserved through certain methods at the moment of death.

For instance, the Soul Bone Shiyu was currently absorbing was Soul Bone energy that a Spirit Master had preserved in time before death.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, this Soul Bone would have shattered and dissipated with the Spirit Master's death, because it was an External Soul Bone.

He had not expected these people to actually kill the guardian Spirit Beast of the first level of the Spirit Ascension Platform. Such a thing had rarely happened in its history.

This left him with a troublesome question: should he stop Shiyu, who had ultimately obtained the Soul Bone, from absorbing it?

External Soul Bones were treasures. Watching Shiyu absorb it like this made his heart ache.

But if he did not allow Shiyu to absorb it, then with the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear dead, the Soul Bone energy would most likely dissipate. It might not be able to condense again, and the Soul Bone would likely go to waste, which would be even more regrettable.

Many Spirit Beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform could revive after dying, but some truly died and would not revive. The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear manifested from Soul Bone energy was one such Spirit Beast.

Without the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear as its vessel, the Soul Bone energy would disappear forever and could not be reused.

"You really got lucky. But it is better for you to benefit from it than those people, since you are from the Spirit Pagoda." In the end, Vice Tower Master Li chose not to stop him.

He thought that Shiyu would have to make greater contributions to the East Sea Spirit Pagoda, so that he would be worthy of this Soul Bone's value.

Knock, knock, knock...

"What is it?" Vice Tower Master Li went to open the door and frowned slightly when he saw the Spirit Pagoda Staff Member outside.

"Several students from Eastsea City were maliciously killed by someone in the Spirit Ascension Platform, suffering mental trauma as a result. Their Teacher wants us to assist him in finding the person responsible," the Staff Member reported.

Vice Tower Master Li subconsciously glanced inside, knowing that they were most likely talking about Shiyu.

"Have them leave. The Spirit Pagoda has an obligation to ensure that the privacy of everyone entering the Spirit Ascension Platform is not leaked. We will not assist them," Vice Tower Master Li ordered sternly.

"We already told them that, but they are being quite forceful and insist on finding that person. That person's strength is not weak, and his identity is not simple either. We had no choice but to come find you, Vice Tower Master Li," the Staff Member said helplessly.

Vice Tower Master Li frowned. This was starting to look like they were making trouble in the Spirit Pagoda.

"I would like to see just how unreasonable these people are." Vice Tower Master Li decided to go take a look.

In one of the Spirit Pagoda's lounges, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan all looked weak as they lay listlessly on the sofas.

Being killed in the Spirit Ascension Platform had caused them some mental trauma, leaving them extremely dispirited.

Gu Yue had likewise been killed inside, but her condition was relatively better. She was currently caring for Tang Wulin, her face full of distress.

Wu Changkong, dressed in white, stood coldly and proudly, his expression icy.

Vice Tower Master Li entered surrounded by several Staff Members. After glancing at Tang Wulin and the others lying down, he understood. It truly was those few.

His gaze then fell on Wu Changkong. He did not underestimate him, as he could sense Wu Changkong's extraordinariness from his bearing.

Although Wu Changkong possessed only the strength of a Spirit Saint, he could not be underestimated.

"Our Staff Members have already explained this clearly to you. Not revealing the information of those who enter the Spirit Ascension Platform is our rule. We cannot make an exception because of you," Vice Tower Master Li stated his position.

"I understand that, but that should be the rule under normal circumstances. That person maliciously robbed my students in the Spirit Ascension Platform and killed them, causing them mental trauma. Does the Spirit Pagoda still intend to shield someone like that?" Wu Changkong said coldly.

He knew the other party might be stronger than him, but he remained completely fearless as he confronted him directly.
