Tang Xuan felt as though he had a thousand words he wanted to say.

But in the end, they only turned into a sigh.

"Ah, is every genius's path of cultivation just this... straightforward?"

When everyone heard that,

an inexplicable flame rose in their hearts.

Why did it sound like this kid was actually dissatisfied?

If you don't want it, give it to me. I couldn't get one even if I begged.

"You stinky kid, you just got back and you're already running your mouth. If you've got nothing to do, get back and rest. Stop being an eyesore in front of me." Chen Xin laughed as he scolded him.

Tang Xuan smiled sheepishly. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stepped back. "I almost forgot the important matter. Grandpa, I can tell that my fusion with the Mysterious Wing Soul Bone isn't complete. Not only can't I control it like an arm, I don't even know what its Soul Bone Skill is. Why don't you put some Soul Pressure on me and give it a try?"

"Perfect. You've just handed me a chance to teach you a lesson fair and square." Chen Xin's smile was as sharp as his title.

Tang Xuan could not help but shudder.

He regretted it deeply.

I should've known better than to show off like that.

"Enough. Get ready, I'm starting." Chen Xin called out, forming a Sword Finger in front of his chest with one hand.

The air in the hall immediately twisted.

Violent, surging Soul Power, carrying a faint aura of slaughter, rushed toward Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan knew Chen Xin had no killing intent toward him.

It was simply because Chen Xin's Sword Momentum was—killing!

His Soul Power naturally carried that killing intent, one that could never be completely removed no matter how hard one tried.

When the Soul Pressure descended upon him,

Tang Xuan's expression did not change. He merely closed his eyes slightly.

He even seemed to be enjoying it.

Seeing this, Chen Xin smiled faintly.

He said he was going to teach Tang Xuan a lesson,

but in reality, he had only released the pressure of level 10 Soul Power as a test.

Yet even as a test, this level 10 Soul Power should not be underestimated.

In terms of quality alone, Chen Xin's level 10 Soul Power was already enough to rival all of Tang Xuan's Soul Power.

He had not expected that even this would fail to make Tang Xuan show the slightest sign of pain.

It seemed his grandson's physical toughness was far greater than he had imagined.

With that thought,

Chen Xin silently increased his Soul Power output.

Level by level, it reached Tang Xuan's own level 23 in just a few breaths.

This time, sweat finally appeared on Tang Xuan's forehead, and his teeth gradually clenched.

"You still haven't been forced to summon your Martial Soul?" Chen Xin asked in surprise.

Did an External Soul Bone really boost physical fitness this much?

Ordinary Spirit Masters could withstand, at most, Soul Pressure equal to their own level.

Even exceeding it by the slightest bit could very likely cause their bodies to explode.

And that was only with their Martial Souls activated.

"Still not enough. Go straight to level 30!" Tang Xuan roared through gritted teeth.

He turned and sat cross-legged on the floor, circulating his Soul Power with all his might to resist Chen Xin.

If he could not force out his Martial Soul, the Mysterious Wing Soul Bone would never fuse perfectly.

It was not only the "experience" Tang San from the Original Work had given him.

Somewhere deep down, Tang Xuan himself had the same feeling.

Hearing this, Chen Xin's Sword Finger, which was releasing Soul Power, grew more focused.

His level 30 Soul Power was more than enough to kill a Soul King.

If anything went wrong, Tang Xuan might truly die by his hand.

When the Soul Pressure reached level 30,

Tang Xuan's expression twisted.

For a moment, it felt as though he had returned to the time when he absorbed the Shadow Demon Tiger's Spirit Ring.

The same pain, the same searing heat.

As time passed,

Tang Xuan could no longer endure it. The Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword burst uncontrollably from his body.

At once,

the pressure on Tang Xuan greatly decreased, and his expression gradually relaxed.

Only then did Tang Xuan's fusion with the Mysterious Wing Soul Bone truly begin.

Chen Xin continued increasing his Soul Power output.

Level 32... Level 34.

When the Soul Power output reached level 35,

Tang Xuan seemed to reach some sort of threshold as well.

Two streams of mysterious black light suddenly shot out from his back.

The Mysterious Wing Soul Bone gradually solidified, like ice spreading across a surface.

Tang Xuan unconsciously flapped twice, his feet gradually lifting from the ground as he gripped the Heavy Sword and hovered in midair.

The mysterious black radiance of his wings mixed with the dim yellow lamplight and fell across his face.

Like a god, yet like a demon.

To the side,

Ning Rongrong looked up at Tang Xuan, and her gaze gradually became entranced.

Whose handsome big brother was this? How could he be so cool...

Chen Xin withdrew the Soul Pressure and let out a long breath.

Soul Power pressure looked as if Tang Xuan, the one enduring it, had it harder.

But in truth, Chen Xin, the one applying it, was the more exhausted one.

Tang Xuan's physical fitness was simply too strange.

If the Soul Pressure was too low, it would not be enough to make the External Soul Bone fuse with Tang Xuan.

But if it was even slightly higher,

then with Tang Xuan's level 23 Soul Power,

no matter how strong his physical fitness was, he would inevitably suffer some injuries.

If Chen Xin had not been a level 96 Super Douluo, he truly would not have been able to maintain such a delicate balance.

"Woohoo, that felt great!" Tang Xuan circled above everyone's heads before slowly descending.

Flight had always been a desire etched into humanity's genes.

Now, the Mysterious Wing Soul Bone had completely fused with him.

Using it felt as natural as moving his arms and legs.

Even without training, he could fly with ease.

"Xiao Xuan, can you clearly sense the Soul Bone Skill now?" Chen Xin asked.

"Clearly. Crystal clear. Watch this!" A mysterious smile curled across Tang Xuan's lips.

The Soul Power within his body surged madly into the Mysterious Wing Soul Bone.

The next moment,

Tang Xuan vanished into thin air before everyone's eyes.

"What?" Chen Xin and Gu Rong's pupils constricted sharply.

They abruptly turned around.

Tang Xuan was somehow standing behind them, though none of them knew when he had gotten there.

Aside from his slightly pale face, it was as if nothing had happened.

"Xiao Xuan, your Soul Bone Skill is Teleportation?" Chen Xin asked, though his tone was exceptionally certain.

Even he had failed to catch Tang Xuan's flight path.

Other than Teleportation, no one's speed could escape the senses of a level 96 Super Douluo.

Not even a level 99 Agility Attack System Spirit Master, or even a pure agility-type Spirit Master, could do so.

"That's right, it's Teleportation. The consumption is a little high, though. One use costs nearly a third of my Soul Power, and the range is only ten meters." Tang Xuan nodded proudly.

With this skill,

the final weakness in Tang Xuan's mobility had been made up for.

Although the Teleportation distance was short and the consumption was high,

this Mysterious Wing Soul Bone was only a thousand years old.

Once its age increased in the future, it would surely evolve.

"The skill is indeed powerful, but what puzzles me is how could a Shadow Demon Tiger possibly produce this kind of Soul Skill? Xiao Xuan's Martial Soul doesn't have a space attribute either." Chen Xin stroked his chin and asked a soul-searching question.

Even Ning Fengzhi could not help furrowing his brow.

Throughout the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect,

there had been quite a few people who obtained Shadow Demon Tiger Spirit Rings or even Soul Bones.

But no one had ever developed a Teleportation Soul Skill involving space.

This did not make sense.

Unless that person's Martial Soul Itself involved space,

allowing the Shadow Demon Tiger's possible speed attribute to transform into the space attribute needed by the Spirit Master.

"Uh, I think I forgot to mention that the blade of the Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword has Black Hole Attraction. It could originally only pull in things like Hidden Weapons and arrows, but now it seems that thing's true essence might be Space Power..." Tang Xuan said weakly.

All along, everyone's attention had been on the weight of the Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword and its blunt, edgeless blade.

The Black Hole Attraction on the blade had always been overlooked.

Even Tang Xuan himself sometimes forgot he had such an ability.

Now, it seemed this ability was even more powerful than he had imagined...

Everyone first exchanged glances, then fell silent with speechless expressions.

You could forget something that important?

Just what was going on in that little head of yours...

Tang Xuan protested: I only forgot to mention it, not to use it. My Whirlwind Style relies heavily on Black Hole Attraction...
