"Yes, Bone and Marrow Cleansing!"

Ye Tian looked utterly certain.

The purple Soul Ring flashed again. Pinching the purplish-black pill between his fingers, he continued,

"It can restore Soul Power and stamina, heal injuries and satisfy hunger, strengthen the body, and even improve talent. It can do all of that!"

"How is that possible?!"

Bibi Dong furrowed her brows, unable to believe it at all.

Just Ye Tian's First Soul Skill obtained from absorbing the Gluttonous Snake Soul Ring could accomplish so many things!

"It's true, Teacher. Try one."

Ye Tian smiled and held up the pill.

Quite a few of those effects were bonuses brought by Bone and Marrow Cleansing.

"Give it here!"

Before Ye Tian's words fell, Bibi Dong swiftly bent down and, with a whoosh, snatched away the pill. Holding it in her hand, she lowered her eyes to look down upon Ye Tian and said in a cold voice,

"Let me see whether it really is as miraculous as you claim!"

"Gulp~"

As her words fell,

Bibi Dong tossed the pill into her mouth.

Just as she was about to bite it apart, the pill melted the instant it entered her mouth, turning into scorching hot, richly fragrant fluid that rolled down her throat into her stomach.

In an instant,

it felt as though there were a furnace in her dantian, radiating heat from within and gently baking every inch of her skin. Strands of warm currents also surged into her Eight Extraordinary Meridians, while the Soul Power in her body seemed to be stimulated, its flow speeding up slightly.

Her entire body brimmed with strength, accompanied by an indescribable lightness. Yet those sensations seemed to exist for only an instant before vanishing.

Bibi Dong stood frozen in place, her delicate brows knitted.

That feeling just now was definitely not an illusion, nor could it have been anything simple.

Though the scorching sensation had faded,

her Soul Power and stamina had indeed recovered somewhat.

"Another one!"

Without hesitation, Bibi Dong immediately held out her hand to Ye Tian.

"No problem."

Ye Tian nodded in agreement.

He had experienced the pill himself. Its effects seemed to last only a single breath, but it had actually brought about the most profound changes!

The Soul Ring beneath Ye Tian's feet flashed again, and another pill was delivered into Bibi Dong's hand.

"..."

Bibi Dong silently accepted the pill.

This time, she mobilized all her Spiritual Power to examine herself internally.

She had to find out exactly what had happened just now!

Swallowing the pill,

Bibi Dong closed her eyes. The sensations of strength and lightness in her body still vanished in a flash.

But this time,

Bibi Dong's eyes widened as she exclaimed in shock, "This pill can actually remove impurities from the body and reshape one's sinews and bones!"

"That is the Bone and Marrow Cleansing you mentioned?!"

Bibi Dong lowered her gaze, staring at the Ye Tian who had just stood up in shock. She had no time to pay attention to the changes in Ye Tian's height, seeing only his dazzling, proud smile, as if he were waiting for praise.

Thinking of how she had obstructed Ye Tian at every turn before,

and mocked him coldly,

Bibi Dong's face flushed bright red. She immediately felt that Ye Tian was laughing at her ignorance!

She had never imagined

that Ye Tian's choice of the Gluttonous Snake Soul Ring would yield such an unexpected result!

He had turned what she considered a joke into reality!

Restoring Soul Power, recovering stamina, healing injuries, and satisfying hunger—these common, practical Support System Soul Skills had all become mere side benefits. Though their effects could not compare to other Spirit Masters' First Soul Skills, they were still quite good.

Most terrifying of all, while Bone and Marrow Cleansing granted these time-limited extra effects, it would also gradually improve a Spirit Master's bone structure and talent!

With that,

her earlier mockery of Ye Tian for being shortsighted seemed even more laughable.

"You saw this coming?!"

Bibi Dong stared at Ye Tian and could not help asking.

"I admit there was an element of gambling. I just didn't expect that I would win."

Ye Tian spread his hands, his face glowing with delight.

This was not merely his First Soul Skill. In a sense, it was also the first genuine Pill he had ever refined!

Of course he had reason to be happy.

"A gamble? Where did your confidence even come from?"

Bibi Dong could not figure out what had given Ye Tian such confidence.

"It's simple!"

Ye Tian smiled. Naturally, he would not say that his foreknowledge had given him a safety net.

Instead, he patiently explained to Bibi Dong his personal understanding of Spirit Skills, the characteristics of Spirit Beasts, and the connection between martial souls and Spirit Skills.

"..."

"In short, the most prominent characteristic of a Spirit Beast—the one most compatible with the martial soul—is the one most likely to become a Spirit Master's Spirit Skill!"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong could not help sinking into thought.

The light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

She had never heard such a theory before, yet it was remarkably reasonable.

Bibi Dong drew a deep breath.

She looked at Ye Tian with a complicated expression and said solemnly,

"Sometimes, I really want to pry open your head and see what exactly is inside. You've only just come into contact with this, yet you've already derived such a theory!"

"This counts as a theory? Isn't that too hasty?"

Ye Tian asked in surprise.

Wasn't this very simple?

Soul Rings came from Spirit Beasts, and when Soul Rings reacted with martial souls, Spirit Skills emerged. Simplifying it further, weren't Spirit Skills determined solely by the characteristics of the martial soul and the Spirit Beast?

A Soul Ring was merely the link connecting the Spirit Beast and the martial soul.

"Of course it counts. Do you know how much of a sensation this theory would cause if it were made public?"

Bibi Dong said with complete seriousness.

As she looked at Ye Tian, the praise in her eyes nearly overflowed.

"No one in the Soul Master World has ever taught Spirit Masters how to tailor their Spirit Skills. Right now, everything is based on experience—those before plant trees, those after enjoy the shade. Otherwise, it is simply left to luck."

"Then does that mean I've become a theory master too?"

Ye Tian asked with great interest.

Who did not want to rise above others and become famous throughout the land?

Of course, he was only thinking about it. Unless necessary, he did not want that kind of fame.

"Hmph!"

Bibi Dong snorted coldly.

She wanted to say that Ye Tian still had a long way to go.

But Bibi Dong understood that, based on Ye Tian's discovery of Whale Rubber's effects and this Spirit Beast Characteristics Theory of his, he was absolutely qualified to become a theory master!

At the very least, she could not find a single flaw.

Looking at Ye Tian, Bibi Dong suddenly felt dazed, her vision blurring. An old acquaintance flashed past her mind, only to be torn apart by the even more brilliant light radiating from Ye Tian.

"Teacher, Teacher?"

Ye Tian called several times before he finally roused the distracted Bibi Dong.

"Teacher, what are you thinking about?"

"Hm?"

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow, her expression returning to normal.

"Nothing. I was thinking about your theory. We can discuss it when we have the chance."

As she spoke,

Bibi Dong smiled and bent down, grabbing the back of Ye Tian's neck.

"Okay!"

Ye Tian was in a fine mood, so naturally he did not refuse.

But before long, Ye Tian realized that Bibi Dong seemed to have ulterior motives!

Ye Tian's breathing tightened, and he could not help asking,

"Teacher, go easy on me. Don't strangle me to death."

"Hmph! Let me ask you something."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly and said,

"Why didn't you tell me about this theory earlier? Were you deliberately trying to make a fool of me?"

"Ah—! You were the one who got impatient!"

"So now it's my fault?"

"No, no!"

Ye Tian shook his head repeatedly as his feet began rising into the air beyond his control.

"Teacher, my body is actually very weak!"

"Verbal discipline is enough."
