Twin Spirit Bones, Thunderous Armament

The moment Yu Yuanchen opened his eyes, his gaze was drawn to the two spirit bones beside him, both radiating immense energy. Especially the dragon right arm bone, like a piece of blue crystal—it resonated intensely with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Bloodline within him, like a long-separated relative calling for him to merge with it.

"Grandfather, Grandfather Qingtian, these are..." Yu Yuanchen looked at the two elders, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Yu Boxuan wore an unconcealable expression of gratification and pride as he pointed at the two spirit bones. "Chen'er, this is the Right Arm Soul Bone extracted from that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Its quality is exceptionally high, and it shares the same origin as your Martial Soul, making it the best possible choice. The other is the Left Arm Bone of a seventy-thousand-year Thunder Armored Python, taken from the family treasury. The Thunder Power and defensive properties it contains should also be of great benefit to you. Since you have successfully absorbed your Sixth Soul Ring and stabilized your foundation, strike while the iron is hot and absorb both spirit bones at once! Qingtian and I will protect you."

Warmth surged through Yu Yuanchen's heart. The family had truly exhausted its resources for his growth. He did not refuse and nodded heavily. "Your grandson will not disappoint Grandfather or the family's expectations!"

He first turned his gaze toward the seventy-thousand-year Thunder Armored Python Left Arm Bone. The bone was silver-gray throughout and icy to the touch. Fine scale-like patterns covered its surface, with faint arcs of electricity leaping across it. The energy it emitted leaned toward heaviness and toughness.

He regulated his breathing and drew out his Soul Power, wrapping it around the Left Arm Bone. As if activated, the spirit bone transformed into a silver-gray streak of light and instantly merged into his left arm!

"Hmph!"

A tearing pain erupted from his left arm, as though countless barbed steel wires were being forcibly shoved into his bones and meridians! The energy contained within a seventy-thousand-year spirit bone was tyrannical beyond compare, especially one produced by a Soul Beast famed for its defense like the Thunder Armored Python. Yu Yuanchen felt as if his entire left arm were about to burst apart. Silver-gray lightning raced madly beneath the skin of his arm, violently clashing with his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Power and Bloodline Power.

He guarded his mind and circulated the family's Meditation Method with all his strength. Using his abundant Soul Power as a foundation, he guided the foreign energy with difficulty through the meridians in his left arm while mobilizing his Bloodline Power to soothe the flesh damaged by the impact. The intense pain made the veins on his forehead bulge, and cold sweat streamed down his face, but his will was like iron. He forcibly endured the first wave of impact.

As time passed, under his forceful guidance and the support of a physique far surpassing those of the same rank, the wild and unruly energy within the Thunder Armored Python spirit bone was gradually tamed. It began to slowly fuse with his Soul Power and the bones of his left arm. The silver-gray radiance steadily withdrew. The density of his left arm bones increased greatly, and his meridians were widened and reinforced. A solid, mountain-like feeling of immovability came from his left arm. His Soul Power rose with the tide during the fusion, breaking through to the peak of Level 62!

Once the Left Arm Bone had completely fused and the light fully receded, his left arm returned to normal. Yet faint silver-gray radiance flowed beneath his skin, and both its defensive power and sense of strength had increased sharply.

After briefly regulating his breath and feeling the transformative changes in his left arm, Yu Yuanchen turned his eyes toward the one that truly stirred his heart—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Right Arm Bone!

This spirit bone seemed carved from the purest blue crystal, as though it contained a miniature sea of thunderous stars within it, shimmering with brilliant light. He took a deep breath and extended his right hand, pouring both Soul Power and Bloodline Power into this spirit bone of the same origin.

"Buzz—"

Entirely unlike the violent conflict of absorbing the Thunder Armored Python spirit bone, the instant his Soul Power touched the dragon right arm bone, a seamless sense of harmony welled up within him! As if it had found its true master, the spirit bone let out a delighted hum and transformed into a gentle yet vast blue streak of light, actively merging into his right arm!

There was none of the agonizing pain he had imagined. Instead, an incomparably soothing warmth spread from his arm through his entire body. Every inch of bone, meridian, and flesh in his right arm greedily absorbed this Origin Power from the same bloodline. His bloodline boiled, his Martial Soul rejoiced, and even that wisp of Thunder God Power seemed nourished, becoming even more active.

The fusion proceeded far more smoothly than he had imagined, as though this spirit bone had always belonged to him and was merely returning to its rightful owner. The bones in his right arm became more crystalline and resilient, with faint Dragon Patterns emerging upon them. His meridians were as broad as rivers, Qi and Blood flowing endlessly through them, reaching an entirely new level of integration with his Soul Power. What delighted him even more was that during the fusion, he clearly sensed that the violet-gold dragon scales on his Martial Soul, which had long numbered more than one, seemed to gain several more. They formed a mysterious connection with the Right Arm Soul Bone.

His Soul Power surged once more, directly breaking through the Level 62 bottleneck and stabilizing at Peak Level 63! He was only a step away from Level 64!

With the support of two top-tier spirit bones, Yu Yuanchen's total Soul Power, its purity, and his physical strength all reached heights that an ordinary Soul Emperor could scarcely attain. He slowly opened his eyes. Blue-violet lightning shot from his gaze, while his aura was as heavy and still as a mountain, yet carried the wild ferocity and sharpness of thunder.

With a thought, he tried to draw upon the power of the two spirit bones.

Silver-gray light flashed from his left arm, and a dense phantom layer of tough silver-gray scales covered it, radiating a stable defensive aura. Deep blue radiance flowed over his right arm, its dragon-scale patterns clear and distinct, carrying an overwhelming sense of power and the destructive intent of thunder.

Yet an even greater surprise came from his Sixth Soul Ring! After successfully absorbing the Soul Ring and the two spirit bones, his understanding of his Sixth Soul Skill had also become completely clear.

"Sixth Soul Skill, derived from a Pure-blood Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—Thunderous Armament!"

He shouted lowly, and the black-with-purple Sixth Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up!

Effect One: Forge weapons from thunder and enhance the self! Vast Thunder Power surged from within his body. Rather than erupting chaotically, it rapidly gathered and took shape around his body under the control granted by his powerful Spiritual Power and the spirit bones! A suit of ancient, savage armor formed entirely from deep blue lightning covered his upper body and vital areas. Dragon Patterns flickered across the armor as lightning flowed over it. At the same time, his right hand closed around empty air, and a two-meter-long Dragon Spear formed instantly from condensed lightning. Electric Snakes coiled around its shaft, and its edge was peerlessly sharp! This Thunderous Armament could not only greatly enhance his defense, but also amplify his attack power and speed, causing his close-combat ability to soar!

Effect Two: Thunder Spear Piercing the Sky, explosive evil-slaying! He could highly compress Thunder Power and condense an extremely concentrated thunder spear in his hand, one containing terrifying penetrating force and explosive energy! Once hurled with all his strength, the spear would move as fast as lightning and possess extremely strong tracking ability. The moment it struck a target or reached its maximum range, it would explode with a thunderous roar, unleashing terrifying thunderstorm damage over a wide area. It was a powerful weapon for clearing the field and sniping enemies from afar!

This Thunderous Armament Soul Skill combined defense, enhancement, close combat, and long-range attacks. It was endlessly versatile and astonishingly powerful, perfectly fitting Yu Yuanchen's fighting style and raising his strength to an entirely new level!

Yu Boxuan and Yu Qingtian watched their grandson clad in thunder armor and holding a thunder spear, like the Thunder God descending into the world. Sensing the terrifying power contained within the Soul Skill, both wore shocked yet immensely satisfied smiles.

"Good! What a Thunderous Armament!" Yu Boxuan clapped his hands and laughed. "With this Soul Skill, Chen'er, your combat power is enough to rival a high-level Soul Sage!"

After successfully hunting the Soul Ring and absorbing the spirit bones, Yu Yuanchen returned to the family with his two grandfathers. He did not immediately head out again, choosing instead to settle down at home for a while.

These two months were rare leisure time for him in recent years.

He often sought guidance from Grandfather Yu Boxuan and Elder Qingtian regarding cultivation experience at the Titled Douluo level. He discussed deeper applications of Thunder Power with them and even selectively shared his initial explorations and ideas regarding the Way of Qi and Blood with the two knowledgeable elders. Yu Boxuan and Yu Qingtian were greatly shocked upon first hearing it. After carefully considering it, they found the method dangerous, but seeing that Yu Yuanchen had already taken a solid step forward without damaging his foundation—instead making it even stronger—they could not help but marvel at how bold yet meticulous he was. Perhaps he truly could forge an unprecedented path, and they offered him much valuable advice.

For most of his time, he cultivated diligently in the quiet chamber arranged by the family. He consolidated his greatly increased Soul Power, familiarized himself with the power of the two spirit bones and his newly acquired Sixth Soul Skill, and continued along his slow but unwavering path of body tempering—beginning to consider how to safely temper his fragile internal organs.

Occasionally, at the request of his father Yu Mingfeng or other family elders, he would go to the Martial Arts Arena to "teach" the younger members of the family a lesson. Whenever he released the terrifying pressure of a Soul Emperor, casually condensed a Thunder Dragon Claw, or displayed the ghostlike movement technique of the Dragon Swimming Steps, the proud young brats of the family would always stare in stunned silence, their eyes filled with worship and fervor. His existence was like a beacon, inspiring the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to cultivate even more diligently.

These two months of consolidation allowed Yu Yuanchen to completely digest the gains from his return. His aura became even more restrained, and his control over his own power reached a new height. Yet peaceful times were always brief. He knew that the wind and clouds of the continent had not ceased. His Five Year Agreement with Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, along with the potential threats from the Elephant Armored Sect and even the Black Flame Demon Flood Dragon Family, all urged him not to stop moving forward.

It was time to set out once more.
