Analyzing Divine Power, Reaping a Bountiful Harvest!

"Don't worry, you'll benefit too."

The Fire God said with an excited smile, "That's a Dragon Bone dropped by a God-Tier powerhouse. Go absorb it. I'll keep watch for you."

With the Fire God protecting him, Lin Li felt reassured and walked forward without hesitation.

The Fire Dragon King had left behind a Left Arm Bone, while the Ice Dragon King had left behind a Torso Bone.

After receiving a reassuring look from the Fire God, Lin Li directly summoned his Martial Soul and sat cross-legged between the two Dragon Corpses. The Fire God then used Divine Power to send both Spirit Bones before Lin Li.

"Absorb them together without worry. With me here, nothing will happen to you. If you absorb them together, there's a high chance you'll gain an additional Ice-Fire External Soul Bone."

"Alright!"

Lin Li nodded and chose to believe the Fire God.

The moment the two God-level Spirit Bones approached Lin Li, he could feel the overwhelming pressure rushing toward him. Since he had absorbed the two Immortal Herbs of ice and fire, Lin Li wasn't worried that the Ice-Fire energy would overwhelm him. What truly made him feel threatened was the Divine Power within the Spirit Bones.

However, Lin Li trusted the Fire God. He pressed both Spirit Bones against his body at once and began absorbing them.

"Crack, crack!"

Hearing that familiar sound, the Fire God's gaze fell upon the Dharma Wheel atop Mahoraga's head.

Through his occasional observations, the Fire God had gained a rough understanding of the special nature of Lin Li's Martial Soul.

It could adapt to the damage it received, but the Fire God didn't know what its upper limit was, nor how many different things it could adapt to.

Originally, he had only those two questions in mind, but now there was another.

"What is he adapting to now?"

The Fire God was certain that Lin Li hadn't suffered any damage. So what exactly was happening?

It couldn't be that pressure counted as damage too, could it?

The Fire God thought about it. He had indeed killed people with overwhelming pressure before. From that perspective, pressure really was a type of damage.

With curiosity in his eyes, the Fire God continued watching.

After some time, when the Dharma Wheel had completed an entire rotation, the Fire God focused his eyes on Lin Li and examined him carefully, but found nothing.

"No change?"

The Fire God rejected that idea. Though he hadn't fully understood Lin Li's Martial Soul, he had a general grasp of it.

After observing and thinking for a while, the Fire God seemed to realize something.

With an uncertain look in his eyes, he continued examining Lin Li's body. Then, as if to prove his conjecture, something unusual happened!

Within Lin Li's Dantian, a strand of energy completely different in nature from Soul Power was born!

The Fire God was incomparably familiar with this power. In fact, this very energy flowed through his own body every moment.

But how was this possible?

"It's Divine Power!"

The Fire God confirmed the source of that power. It was indeed Divine Power!

The so-called Divine Power was actually the power of laws. Every god's Divine Power differed because the laws they controlled were different.

The power controlled by the Fire God himself was Fire Attribute Divine Power.

Yet the Divine Power the Fire God saw being born inside Lin Li was clearly Divine Power possessing both ice and fire attributes!

"Can he even analyze laws?"

Adaptation began with analysis. Now, Lin Li's talent had risen even higher in the Fire God's estimation.

Even without any god passing a God Position inheritance on to him, Lin Li would definitely be able to become a god!

That strand of Divine Power was extremely faint. Even with the Fire God's keen eyesight, it took a long time of staring before he noticed it.

Lin Li, who was in the middle of absorbing the Spirit Bones, had no idea what was happening inside his body. All he felt was his strength increasing, while the pressure from absorbing the Spirit Bones rapidly weakened.

The Spirit Bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon King contained tremendous energy and the origins of powerful laws. They had originally rampaged through Lin Li's body, but after the Ice and Fire Divine Power appeared, they seemed to have encountered kin and instantly became much more docile, slowly merging into Lin Li's body.

At last, after an unknown amount of time, Lin Li finished absorbing the Spirit Bones.

When he opened his eyes again, red and blue radiance burst from them, and his Mental Power had also risen dramatically.

"My Soul Power has actually reached Level 40!"

Lin Li was astonished when he sensed the fluctuations of his Soul Power. Absorbing the Spirit Bones this time had benefited him tremendously. "I even condensed an External Soul Bone!"

That was right. This time, Lin Li had not only absorbed two God-level Spirit Bones, but had also, through a stroke of luck, gained an External Soul Bone called the Ice-Fire Wings.

From now on, he could fight in the air as well!

Besides flight, the External Soul Bone possessed two skills.

First, after activating the Ice-Fire Wings, Lin Li's speed would increase by 200%, while all his other attributes would increase by 50%.

Second, the Ice-Fire Wings could transform into the Ice-Fire Twin Swords for Lin Li to use as weapons. Although he would lose his ability to fly, he would gain an additional means of attack.

By wielding the Ice-Fire Twin Swords, Lin Li could manipulate the power of the ice and fire elements.

"Kid, you're truly lucky."

The Fire God's envious voice rang out. Seeing Lin Li's confused expression, he explained:

"You came into contact with laws and cultivated Divine Power before even becoming a Soul Ancestor. Even more astonishingly, your physical body already possesses the embryonic form of a Divine Body."

"What do you mean?"

The Fire God then recounted what had happened inside Lin Li's body when he absorbed the Spirit Bones, before continuing:

"That tiny amount of Divine Power didn't come from outside. You refined it yourself, so it neither merged into your Soul Power nor was rejected."

"What it does is continuously transform every part of your body—your bones, blood, internal organs, and everything else within you. The benefit is that it accelerates the speed at which you become a god. It's similar in effect to the God Position Affinity I rewarded you with, but better, because this belongs to you and comes from within your own body."

After hearing the Fire God's words, Lin Li's heart filled with joy. He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.

"There's one more thing. As my inheritor, I must make this clear to you."

The Fire God's expression grew solemn. Looking at the Mahoraga Martial Soul behind Lin Li, he said, "Your talent is too powerful, and that has caused you to overlook abilities you haven't developed yet."

"My abilities?"

"Earlier, you were using your Martial Soul passively. You waited for it to analyze attacks after receiving pressure and the like, but you yourself didn't do anything." The Fire God took two steps forward and pressed down on Lin Li's shoulder. "A Martial Soul and its Soul Master are one and the same. You shouldn't simply wait around."

Hearing this, Lin Li's mind seemed to explode, and many thoughts he had previously ignored surfaced.

Mahoraga's ability was adaptation. Then it must also have adapted to certain rules of the Douluo World.

Why had he only been waiting for Mahoraga to adapt to attacks on its own?

"I was too arrogant."

Lin Li suddenly attained enlightenment.

What truly made a successful person successful was their way of thinking and their heart as a powerhouse!

Yet he had always relied on his talent and Martial Soul, overlooking the fact that he himself was the most important factor. He was the true foundation of his strength!

Lin Li circulated his Soul Power and transformed the Ice-Fire Wings behind him into twin swords, gripping them in his hands.

Because of the special nature of his Martial Soul, Lin Li himself also possessed this bug-like power of adaptation, which grew stronger as his strength increased.

Combined with the close connection between a Martial Soul and its Soul Master, adaptation did not require passively waiting for resistance to an attack to emerge.

"I can do this!"

The Red and Blue Twin Swords radiated a hazy glow, seeming both dreamlike and illusory.

In the next moment, although no attack had appeared, the Dharma Wheel of the Mahoraga Martial Soul suddenly began to spin!

It spun incredibly fast. Although the consumption of Soul Power was like opening the valve of a swimming pool, the adaptation was already complete!

In the next moment, red and blue patterns appeared on Mahoraga's body, extending from its neck all the way down to its waist and abdomen. This represented 100% Ice-Fire Resistance!

Any elemental attack—as long as it possessed an ice or fire attribute—even if it came from a god, could no longer harm Lin Li!
