Susanoo Prototype, Ribcage Form
"The Soul Power enhancement is complete..."
"Next, according to the custom of sacrifice, it should be the Spirit Bone."
Xia Yang was filled with anticipation.
Spirit Bone produced by a top-tier Spirit Beast that is 50,000 years old is of immeasurable value.
"I wonder which Spirit Bone the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger will bestow upon me?"
He was secretly speculating.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when a familiar, deep-seated pain shot through Xia Yang's left leg!
Having experience absorbing Spirit Bone before, Xia Yang immediately understood.
Dark Demon Evil God Tiger brought him was actually a left leg bone!
"Click... click..."
A sickeningly fine cracking sound emanated clearly from inside Xia Yang's left leg.
"Um..."
Even with Xia Yang's willpower, he still couldn't help but let out a suppressed groan of pain.
At this moment, Xia Yang could feel that the original bones in his left leg were being shattered inch by inch by a powerful force.
At the same time, a brand new skeleton, containing immense energy and strange rules, is rapidly reshaping and generating within the Ruins of Xia Yang's left leg.
It became inextricably linked with his flesh and blood, and his meridians.
The creation of Spirit Bone is a process of destruction and rebirth, accompanied by extreme pain.
However, Xia Yang had no choice but to endure it.
Time slowly slipped away amidst the agonizing torment.
Three hours later, the excruciating pain in Xia Yang's left leg finally receded like a receding tide, replaced by a warm and powerful sensation.
This means that Xia Yang's Spirit Bone fusion is completely complete.
By this time, it was already broad daylight outside.
As the sun rises in the east, its golden rays struggle to penetrate the dense canopy of trees, casting sparse sunlight through the forest.
The sunlight streamed down on Xia Yang, who was enveloped in a crimson sphere of light.
Tang Yuehua waited by her side for four whole hours, hardly leaving her side.
When she saw the crimson light enveloping Xia Yang gradually weaken and thin out, a look of joy immediately appeared on her tired face.
"Is it about to end...?"
Sure enough, after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the last wisp of red light completely dissipated.
The blood-red sphere shattered silently like a bubble, turning into specks of light that disappeared into the air.
Xia Yang, who was sitting cross-legged, trembled slightly with his Eyelashes and then slowly opened his eyes.
Xia Yang slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
"Brother Xia!"
Tang Yuehua exclaimed happily and quickly stepped forward.
"Haha, Yuehua, I did it!"
Xia Yang was filled with excitement, his joy evident in his expression.
He suddenly stood up and scooped Tang Yuehua up in his arms.
Then, Xia Yang carried Tang Yuehua and twirled happily in the forest at dawn.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The two men's laughter echoed through the woods, startling a few early birds.
At this moment, Xia Yang finally showed the vigor and vitality that a young person should have, no longer as cautious and calculating as before.
After obtaining a 50,000-year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, his heart was filled with unprecedented confidence.
After circling around a few times, Xia Yang carefully put Tang Yuehua down.
"Brother Xia, how are you feeling now?"
Tang Yuehua asked with concern, carefully looking Xia Yang up and down.
"Haha, I'm doing great now, so great, I've never felt this good before."
Xia Yang said "good" several times in a row, his excitement showing no signs of waning.
"I'll show you right now."
As he spoke, he took a few steps back, eager to show off his transformation.
"Martial Soul: Bones, unleash!"
Xia Yang circulated his Soul Power and released his Martial Soul.
However, this time, the release of the Martial Soul was completely different from before.
However, the familiar purple skeletal pattern did not appear on Xia Yang's body.
Instead, there were six huge purple ribs.
These six ribs, three on each side, are each wider than an adult's thigh.
Ribs appeared out of thin air around Xia Yang's body.
They not only completely enveloped Xia Yang, but even Tang Yuehua, who was standing to the side, was shrouded in them.
Tang Yuehua curiously reached out to touch the ribs formed by these energies, and she found that these ribs were extremely hard.
Even with all her might, she couldn't leave a single mark on it.
"Brother Xia, your Martial Soul has changed so much."
Tang Yuehua exclaimed sincerely.
"Haha, of course."
Xia Yang proudly stated, "Now, my Martial Soul is no longer an ordinary skeleton, but an energy-based skeleton."
"I think it's not as simple as just quantification."
Tang Yuehua observed carefully and analyzed, "Previously, your Bone Martial Soul could only exist within your body, simply enhancing your strength."
"However, now it can take shape externally, so your Martial Soul can not only provide a power boost, but also form a powerful defensive barrier."
At this point, Tang Yuehua suddenly frowned and said, "However, there's still one more problem."
"What's the problem?"
Xia Yang quickly asked.
"Brother Xia, look behind you, why is your Martial Soul spine area black?"
"Is it because of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"
Tang Yuehua pointed to the Martial Soul behind Xia Yang and asked.
Xia Yang turned his head to look.
Sure enough, his Martial Soul changed from purple to a deep black in the spine area behind him.
Six enormous purple ribs, combined with a black spine, formed a semi-transparent protective ring that firmly protected the two inside.
"This thing is probably the residual energy of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
Xia Yang reached out and stroked the black spine, carefully sensing the state of the Martial Soul.
"However, I don't feel any discomfort, so it should be fine."
"It's good that you're alright."
Tang Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, then exclaimed, "Brother Xia, your Martial Soul is now comparable to some high-level defensive martial Martial Soul!"
As expected of the eldest daughter of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Yuehua saw through the essence of Xia Yang's Martial Soul change at a glance.
Previously, Xia Yang's Bone Martial Soul could only appear on his body surface in the form of a pattern.
It is classified as Wasted Martial Soul because it cannot provide substantial attack or defense bonuses like Beast Martial Soul.
However, now that Xia Yang's Martial Soul can be projected and formed externally, it can be used as a defensive Martial Soul.
"A defensive Martial Soul? No, my Martial Soul is more than just defense."
Xia Yang shook his head and said proudly, "Don't forget, my Martial Soul was originally a complete skeleton."
"Although it has evolved, it has only shown its ribs; clearly, this is not its complete form yet."
"Not yet in its complete form?"
Tang Yuehua's eyes widened in surprise, and she said, "The strength of this Martial Soul is already comparable to a high-level defensive Martial Soul. If it can evolve hands, feet, and a head in the future, wouldn't it be even more powerful than Top-Rank Martial Soul?"
She looked at Xia Yang with eyes full of admiration.
"Ahem, Yuehua, keep it low-key."
Xia Yang felt a little embarrassed by the stares.
