Soul Bone Fusion

Gu Yue looked up and saw the boy across from her grinning as he flashed her a dazzling smile.

The boy was undeniably handsome. Even she was momentarily dazed by his smile.

But as she looked at him, her eyes were filled with wariness.

He might call her "Senior Sister" so sweetly, but once a fight started, he showed no mercy.

His almost crazed behavior had even surprised Leng Yaozhu.

The moment Gu Yue looked up, Chen Ye moved without hesitation, taking a step forward as he threw another punch.

Terrifying power surged forth. The Golden Dragon King represented Extreme Power.

He didn't need any flashy tricks. All he needed was a single punch.

Two purple Soul Rings appeared around Gu Yue. After the absorption earlier, her Soul Rings had evolved into Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

Behind the girl, ice gathered across the sky as flames roared. The two forces converged and crashed straight toward Chen Ye.

Ice and fire surged wildly, but Chen Ye didn't take a single step back.

The power of the ice and flames was formidable, yet it couldn't hurt him at all.

Without hesitation, Chen Ye charged straight through. The frost and flames kept him from landing his punch,

but once he got close to Gu Yue, he still swung at her without mercy.

Gu Yue's heart lurched. A fierce gale swept up beneath her feet, and she swiftly dodged to the side.

The instant she moved, a terrifying fist surged toward her, carrying the power of Golden Dragon Blast.

The forest behind her was stained gold by the overwhelming force, then shattered with a thunderous crash.

The damage caused by the combined tearing and annihilating effects was terrifying.

Watching Chen Ye, Gu Yue finally decided to stop holding back. Fierce winds howled around her feet, enveloping the ice and fire. A terrifying ice-and-fire tornado sprang up in an instant.

Trees all around were tossed into the air. Several nearby Hundred-Year Soul Beasts were swept up and shredded to pieces.

Under the hundred-percent pain setting, if either of them died, it would be just like dying for real.

Neither of them intended to hold back this time.

"Not bad. Now this is getting interesting. You're way stronger than that Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear." Chen Ye's eyes gleamed.

As expected of the Silver Dragon King. Even after completely sealing herself and giving up the power of a Dragon King, leaving only her elemental abilities, she was still this powerful.

"But even if you're strong, I, the Golden Dragon King, am no pushover either." Chen Ye grinned as his Third Soul Skill slowly lit up.

The Golden Dragon King's phantom appeared behind Chen Ye. Its terrifying head rose as it let out a roar imbued with Dragon's Might.

Golden power began to surge around Chen Ye. Then he clenched his fist and threw a punch.

In an instant, everything on the horizon seemed to turn gold. The ice-and-fire tornado was smashed apart, and a terrifying explosion rang out.

The two forces seemed to share the same origin. Even the explosion caused by their mere contact was not to be underestimated.

A vast area around them was torn apart by the terrifying power. Every Soul Beast and other creature in the area vanished without a trace.

All that remained was an empty clearing, with the boy standing motionless at its center.

Chen Ye wiped the corner of his mouth. The powerful Dragon Scales formed by his Second Soul Skill had been completely shattered.

The gale had also torn open countless wounds across his body. Yet even so, he continued standing quietly.

Looking at the spot where Gu Yue had disappeared, Chen Ye shook his head. "Well, that was about it. Looks like my Golden Dragon King is still stronger. I thought she'd have some surprise up her sleeve, but it turned out she just had Wind Element."

Chen Ye pursed his lips. Back when he had one ring, Gu Yue had kept beating him down.

But by the time he reached Two Rings, they had already been evenly matched.

Now that he had reached Three Rings, even with her having unlocked Wind Element ahead of time, she still couldn't beat him.

With that thought, Chen Ye didn't linger. He pressed the teleport button and left the Riot Rising Spirit Platform.

As soon as he sat up, Chen Ye saw Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue beside him.

Leng Yaozhu looked at Chen Ye with a strange expression. "You're something else. That Third Soul Skill is a boost-type skill, right?"

"Golden Dragon Fighting Spirit. It greatly increases my physical strength for a short time." Chen Ye grinned.

He glanced at Gu Yue. She turned her head away, refusing to look at him, but her face clearly showed how wronged she felt.

Anyone who'd been torn apart by a storm of power would feel awful. Chen Ye felt a little awkward. They'd agreed to train, but he'd ended up killing her anyway.

"Hehe, sorry, Senior Sister. I didn't mean to. That Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear was too weak. I didn't get enough of a fight."

"Hmph. So you beat me up instead to vent?" Gu Yue glared at Chen Ye, who awkwardly turned his head away.

Leng Yaozhu watched her two disciples bicker, then added, "Did you take out the Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear Soul Bone?"

Leng Yaozhu asked casually, but the two of them fell silent at the same time.

"You two were busy fighting and forgot to take out the Soul Bone?" Leng Yaozhu saw Gu Yue turn her head away and Chen Ye's awkward expression. She fell silent too.

"Don't you dare tell anyone you're my disciples!"

"Have someone retrieve the Soul Bone. Then, Chen Ye, go absorb it inside the Rising Spirit Platform."

The Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear had only a one-percent chance of dropping a Soul Bone, and even the Spirit Pagoda couldn't change that.

It was an extremely rare occurrence, possible only in execution mode.

And now that a Soul Bone had appeared, the two of them hadn't taken it. How could Leng Yaozhu not be angry?

The commotion in the Riot Rising Spirit Platform had attracted plenty of attention, but no one dared approach when they saw the vast clearing.

At the very center of the clearing, a Soul Bone wrapped in a halo hovered quietly in midair. Then, in the next instant, it suddenly vanished.

Inside the Rising Spirit Platform, Chen Ye sat cross-legged. This was a special Rising Spirit Platform that the Spirit Pagoda had set aside for cultivation.

Looking at the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear Soul Bone in front of him, Chen Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

The Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear Soul Bone didn't quite meet his expectations. After all, he wanted a truly top-tier Soul Bone.

The Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear was a Ferocious Beast, but it still fell a little short.

"If only I could strip all of Di Tian's Soul Bones off him. His Soul Bones must be pretty good."

Chen Ye's eyes gleamed. Fortunately, this Soul Bone was an external Soul Bone, so it wouldn't take up one of the slots for his regular Soul Bone fusion.

So it would still be good for boosting his combat strength once he absorbed it. Chen Ye closed his eyes.

A pale red light flickered across the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear Soul Bone.

The Soul Bone slowly floated toward his left hand and fused into it, leaving a slight bulge.
