Time passed bit by bit under Lin Qing's quiet, focused protection.

The campfire was fed, then went out, then was lit again.

The lake reflected the sky as it shifted from bright to profound, then from pitch-black to the pale light of dawn.

The sun set and the moon rose; the moon set and the sun rose.

Lin Qing had originally estimated that, with his daughters' solid foundations and his protection, the absorption process should have ended after one day and one night at most.

But he had clearly underestimated the terrifying energy contained within a Ninety Thousand Year Soul Bone.

After all, it was a supreme treasure close to the hundred-thousand-year tier!

While its energy was not as berserk or aggressive as that of a Soul Ring,

the total amount was simply too enormous, and its quality was high enough.

For three children who were only Six Years Old, the absorption process was like using a tiny stream to contain an entire lake.

They had to guide, harmonize with, and adapt to it with extreme patience and meticulous care.

It could not be rushed, nor could it be made faster.

Two days and two nights passed.

On the morning of the third day,

the golden morning sun pierced the forest's gloom once again.

The change finally came.

The Dark Gold radiance that had enveloped Rou Rou, seated in the very center, for more than two days was the first to stabilize and draw inward.

Like retreating seawater, it gathered itself completely, strand by strand, and fully merged into her tiny body.

Rou Rou was the first to open her eyes.

Her small face bore obvious fatigue, as though she had been running for a very, very long time.

Yet her aura was steadier and more harmonious than before.

With every movement, an exceedingly faint, lustrous sheen flashed across the surface of her skin.

That was the most basic enhancement to her physical constitution after the initial fusion of the Trunk Bone.

Immediately afterward, Qing Zhu on the right also stirred.

The radiance enveloping her seemed to be sucked into a black hole, instantly contracting into her Left Arm.

Her already restrained aura

became sharper at that moment, yet hid itself even deeper.

Beneath the skin of her Left Arm, a streak of Dark Gold light could faintly be seen gliding past before disappearing.

Finally, it was Lin Wu'er on the left.

She had absorbed a leg bone, which had the greatest impact on modifying the lower body, so her process had also been the liveliest.

When it ended, she could not help letting out a soft "Hey!" as she sprang straight up from the ground, balanced on one leg, and flexibly swung her Left Leg.

Her face was full of wonder and excitement.

"Dad, my Left Leg feels so light and so strong! It feels like I could jump right onto a tree whenever I want!"

At the exact moment the three children successfully absorbed their Soul Bones, opened their eyes one after another, and their auras stabilized—

[Ding!] A crisp, pleasant Prompt Sound suddenly rang in Lin Qing's mind without warning. [Detected that the Host gave his Daughters 'Ninety-Thousand-Year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Soul Bone' x3 to absorb, successfully triggering the 'Super Dad Generous Gift' event and obtaining a double rebate!] [The Host may choose from the following options:] [Option One: Quantity Rebate]: Obtain 'Ninety-Thousand-Year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Soul Bone' x6 (one each of Left Arm Bone, Right Arm Bone, Left Leg Bone, Right Leg Bone, skull bone, and Trunk Bone). [Option Two: Quality Rebate]: Obtain 'Hundred-Eighty-Thousand-Year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Soul Bone' x3 (parts randomized).

Lin Qing had been delighted that his daughters had absorbed the Soul Bones safely.

This sudden system prompt left him completely stunned for a moment.

Then an ecstatic expression appeared on his face.

"!!!"

Giving away Soul Bones could indeed trigger a rebate!

After quickly processing the information in his mind, an uncontrollable surge of delight welled up in his heart!

"Good heavens, System, your 'Daddy Gift' is getting more and more considerate. I can even fleece Soul Bones now... No, I mean, get rebates!"

He was overjoyed inside.

This was simply an unexpected windfall, the icing on the cake!

What made his heart beat even faster was that this rebate actually offered two completely different choices!

One was doubling the quantity.

He could directly obtain six Ninety Thousand Year ones and fill every Soul Bone slot in his body.

The other was doubling the quality, directly doubling the age into three genuine hundred-thousand-year-tier Soul Bones!

Was there even anything to hesitate over?

Ninety Thousand Year Soul Bones were certainly rare and precious.

Out in the world, they would be enough to trigger a life-and-death struggle between Soul Douluo and even Titled Douluo.

But Hundred-Eighty-Thousand-Year Soul Bones were genuine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!

Their value, the energy they contained, and the number and strength of the Soul Bone Skills they granted were simply incomparable!

One offered greater quantity.

The other was a qualitative transformation.

For Lin Qing, who pursued peak combat power, the answer was obvious.

"I choose option two! Quality Rebate!"

Lin Qing confirmed it in his heart without the slightest hesitation, even somewhat impatiently.

[Ding! Choice confirmed.] [Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 'Hundred-Eighty-Thousand-Year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Soul Bone' x3: Right Arm Bone, Right Leg Bone, and Trunk Bone!]

The instant the system prompt ended,

Lin Qing clearly sensed that three more Soul Bones had immediately appeared in his System Space.

Their color was no longer Dark Gold.

Instead, it was deeper, almost a dark crimson-black!

The luster flowing across their surfaces resembled congealed blood amber, radiating an immense fluctuation that made one's heart tremble!

Merely taking a "look" at them with Spiritual Power was enough to feel the terrifying strength contained within, far surpassing the three Ninety Thousand Year Soul Bones from before!

"I struck it rich! This is an absolute jackpot! I'm taking off on the spot!"

The excitement on Lin Qing's face was almost impossible to conceal, and the corners of his mouth were nearly reaching his ears.

This rebate excited him even more than receiving several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings outright.

After all,

the rarity of suitable top-tier Soul Bones and the boost they gave to overall strength could sometimes surpass even Soul Rings.

At that moment,

the three little girls, who had successfully absorbed their Soul Bones and were still brimming with novelty, had already gathered around him like three happy little birds, chattering away.

They could not wait to report their gains to Dad.

"Dad, Dad! Look at Wu'er!"

Lin Wu'er was the most excited.

She immediately began demonstrating.

Her Left Leg kicked forward like lightning several times, actually producing distinct whistles through the air!

"Wu'er's Left Leg feels full of power! There's even a Soul Bone Skill hidden inside it. After I use it, my Left Leg becomes super, super strong! Kicking someone would definitely hurt them to death!"

She gesticulated animatedly, her small face flushed red with excitement.

Lin Qingzhu quietly extended her Left Arm and lightly clenched her small fist.

The muscle lines on her arm seemed to become slightly clearer, while Dark Gold luster faintly flowed beneath her skin.

She reported concisely:

"Ninety-Thousand-Year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Left Arm Bone. Soul Bone Skill: Thousand Jun Hand. Effect: Strength Amplification, increasing the power of Left Arm attacks."

Though she put it simply,

Lin Qing could still sense the faint, almost imperceptible satisfaction in her tone.

"Rou Rou feels warm all over inside, like I'm wearing a thick, invisible coat."

Rou Rou also raised her little hand. Her experience was rather unusual.

She tried hard to describe her Soul Bone Skill.

"My Soul Bone Skill is called Thousand Jun Barrier. It seems like... um... it can create a really, really sturdy big shield that protects me and everyone else!"

Lin Qing's first concern was not their Soul Bone Skills.

Instead, he carefully checked each of their conditions.

Their Soul Power flowed smoothly, their Qi and Blood was vigorous, and the energy where their bones had fused with the Soul Bones was calm and stable.

He found no rejection or Hidden Danger.

Only then did he finally put his mind completely at ease, a gratified smile appearing on his face.
