Loaned Power, Five Soul Bones, Fusion!

The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone was incredibly nourishing!

It not only nourished her body, but also cleansed her spirit.

Zhu Zhuqing slept for an entire day and night.

"Awake?"

"Mm... huh?"

The young girl opened her sleepy eyes, but her drowsiness instantly vanished. Like a startled cat, she sprang away from Bai Lu.

"What... are you embarrassed?"

"No."

"I know your body even better than you do, so there's no need for you to be embarrassed at all."

"Stop talking!"

"I gave you my life. What's wrong with saying a couple of things to you?"

Bai Lu said righteously.

"..."

The young girl stared at him with her cat eyes.

I'm breaking down, I'm really breaking down JPG.

Teasing a little girl first thing in the morning really was fun.

Watching the young girl turn cold toward him, the corners of Bai Lu's mouth unconsciously lifted.

"You gained quite a lot this time. Take the time to get acquainted with it."

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. She merely stared fixedly at Bai Lu, her fists clenched, her eyes brimming with "killing intent."

But the next moment, the killing intent abruptly dispersed, and her gaze instantly became clear.

She... had grown stronger again!

"My physical constitution actually doubled!"

Zhu Zhuqing found it somewhat unbelievable.

After all, Bai Lu had already filled her body with his power once. Her physical constitution had been enough to rival that of a Soul Ancestor!

And now that it had doubled again, she had probably surpassed ordinary Soul Ancestors already!

"Don't be surprised. Ah Yin's Soul Bone is just that nourishing."

"All the power I left behind has been merged into your body by it. Other than the accumulated Soul Power, not a single drop remains."

Bai Lu gave a simple explanation before continuing.

"The Soul Skills are the key. Feel them carefully."

Zhu Zhuqing focused inward, concentrating her attention on the Right Leg Bone.

The next moment, delight blossomed across her face again.

"I can fly!"

Flight was everyone's dream.

Ordinary Soul Masters had to cultivate all the way to Title Douluo before they could master the ability to fly.

Yet one of the Soul Skills granted by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was [Flight].

Although she did not understand why a blade of grass could fly, that was not important.

"Flight!"

She eagerly activated its power, and her body immediately rose from the ground. Under her control, she flew higher and faster, darting about everywhere.

Like a tiger with wings!

Those words appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.

She had no wings, but being able to fly was enough!

Only after the young girl had flown to her heart's content did Bai Lu remind her.

"Flight is good, but the other Soul Skill is the real highlight."

"[Wildfires cannot burn it all away; when spring winds blow, it grows anew]. What a long name."

Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Is this healing ability very powerful?"

"The Blue Silver Emperor's ultimate Esoteric Technique is Wildfires Cannot Burn It All Away; When Spring Winds Blow, It Grows Anew."

"With this Soul Skill, so long as you aren't dead and still have Soul Power, even if you have only one breath left, you can recover."

At that point, Bai Lu suddenly paused, his expression becoming profound.

"More importantly, this Soul Skill can even allow severed limbs to regenerate!"

"Limb Regeneration!?"

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. Across the entire continent, there were not many Soul Skills capable of regenerating severed limbs.

Even the legendary Nine Hearts Begonia, whose Soul Skills were all healing abilities, might not be able to regenerate severed limbs, right?

"Little Kitten, do you think you're afraid of pain?"

Bai Lu suddenly asked.

"If it can make me stronger, then I'm not afraid no matter how much it hurts."

Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate in the slightest.

She had endured the pain of fusing with a Skull. What else could she not endure?

Bai Lu asked again, "Then if you had to cut off your own hands and feet, would you dare?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for two seconds before saying firmly, "If it can make me stronger!"

"Good! Very good!"

Bai Lu clapped several times. Staring into the young girl's eyes, he suddenly smiled.

"If you really aren't afraid of pain, then take out the few Soul Bones from my inheritance and fuse with them directly."

"Didn't you say I wasn't allowed to fuse with Soul Bones below a Hundred Thousand Years?"

The young girl was confused.

"I changed my mind."

Bai Lu lowered his head to look at the young girl's Right Leg Bone.

"Times are different now. Before, you didn't have the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, so you naturally couldn't. Now that you have it, you naturally can."

"What does that have to do with—"

Zhu Zhuqing stopped halfway through her sentence, suddenly freezing. "You mean..."

"That's right."

Bai Lu nodded and looked calmly at the young girl.

"If you really aren't afraid of pain, then first fuse with Soul Bones to increase your strength. When you encounter better Soul Bones in the future, remove the old ones through Limb Removal and Bone Extraction, then regenerate your limbs!"

"This..."

Zhu Zhuqing was dumbfounded.

It was the first time she had heard of such an approach!

If she fused with Soul Bones now to become stronger, then removed them through Limb Removal and Bone Extraction in the future, her strength would suffer as a result... was that really worth it?

Worth it! More than worth it!

She could borrow power from the future in advance. What was not worth it about that?

An extra ten points of strength in the future would merely be icing on the cake, but placed in the present, it would be timely help in a snowstorm!

Bai Lu said, "This is your body. The decision is yours. I won't interfere."

Now you know the decision is mine?

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes inwardly, but said nothing.

A Hundred Thousand Years was too long. She only fought for every moment now!

She raised her hand and grabbed a sandalwood box—Instant Shadow Astonishing Rainbow's Netherworld Left Leg Bone!

Fusion!

After fusing with it, her steps were like the Netherworld, her form like an astonishing rainbow.

She raised her hand a second time and took out another sandalwood box—Red Flame Bursting Rush's Flame Left Arm Bone!

Fusion!

After fusing with it, her fists flowed like fire, her momentum like a blazing prairie fire.

She raised her hand a third time and took out yet another sandalwood box—Mountain Crushing Earth Splitting's Rock Right Arm Bone!

Fusion!

After fusing with it, she could shake mountains with her strength, her momentum like a mountain collapse.

The three Soul Bones took several hours to fuse completely!

"So this is the power of Soul Bones?"

Zhu Zhuqing stood up and moved her body.

She could feel that although her Soul Power had not increased, her physical constitution had undergone another tremendous leap.

Even without using Soul Skills, her physical strength alone was now enough to contend with ordinary Soul Ancestors.

Her constitution was probably no weaker than that of a level-fifty Quasi-Soul King!

Not to mention that she had gained three additional Soul Skills: Mountain Crushing Earth Splitting, Red Flame Burst, and Instant Shadow Astonishing Rainbow!

"Now, both your physical constitution and combat power have improved enormously."

Bai Lu gave a precise judgment. "Barring any surprises, you should already be able to absorb a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

Five Soul Bones had successfully transformed the young girl into a genuine talent monster.

Even Tang San after Ice Fire Body Tempering did not possess such a powerful constitution!

"Then can we go hunt for my Third Soul Ring now?"

At the thought of having a chance to possess a Ten-Thousand Year Third Soul Ring, Zhu Zhuqing's heart burned with excitement.

A few days ago, she had still been a Soul Grandmaster being hunted down.

And now, she was nearly about to collect all six major Soul Bones!

"If you want to, we can."

Bai Lu nodded faintly.

His original plan had been that if Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to absorb the Soul Bones, or if her physical constitution was still insufficient after absorbing them, he would take her to Sunset Forest to search for the Ice Fire Two-Eyed Eye.

As long as they found an opportunity while Dugu Bo was away, they would use White Tiger Vajra Transformation to rush inside and steal the Immortal Herbs.

Now, it seemed... there was no need.
