Fusing with the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone, Rising Ten Levels in a Row

Three days later, Holy Soul Village.

A torrential current cascaded from high above, kicking up sprays of water that left the surrounding air damp and heavy.

Chen Xing looked up at the waterfall before him, his heart hammering against his ribs as he clenched his fists in excitement.

This is the place! There's no mistake!

Over the past few days, he had constantly asked for directions, relying solely on his own two legs to reach Holy Soul Village.

Right now, Tang Hao's attention was entirely focused on Tang San, who had just obtained his first soul ring; it was the perfect moment to steal the soul bone.

The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone of the Blue Silver Emperor—its two heaven-defying soul skills alone were enough to drive the powerhouses of the entire continent into a frenzy. Furthermore, as a fellow plant-type soul beast, Chen Xing's own martial soul might even evolve after fusing with the bone.

After a brief moment of preparation, Chen Xing didn't hesitate. He leaped forward, plunging into the icy river with a loud splash.

A bone-chilling cold instantly permeated his entire body. Gritting his teeth against the force of the current, he searched for footholds among the slick rocks and climbed upward with all his might.

Fortunately, as a transformed soul beast, his physical constitution was slightly better than that of an ordinary human, which allowed him to successfully locate the cave entrance amidst the rushing water.

Inside the cave.

His current physical state was far too weak; merely reaching this cave had exhausted every ounce of his strength.

But fortunately, it was all worth it!

In the dim environment, the entire cave was laid out before him. It was nothing but rock, making it impossible for him to miss Ah Yin!

On the flat ground, a small mound of dirt sat abruptly in the center. A small, pale blue blade of grass drooped its leaves, its roots lying limp on the dry soil.

This... truly worthy of being the Blue Silver Emperor!

Perhaps Tang Hao was genuinely afraid that Ah Yin might be resurrected, which was why he had planted her in such a place.

If he had simply tossed her seeds into any patch of fertile soil, she wouldn't have ended up in this state.

Dragging his weary body to stand before Ah Yin, Chen Xing tried to communicate with her.

As his fingers gently brushed against her leaves, he could clearly feel that the plant was in a state of extreme dehydration.

It seemed Tang Hao hadn't paid her any mind since planting her here!

Watching her struggle to respond to him while being utterly powerless to do so, Chen Xing felt a pang of heartache.

Maybe I should just take you away with me!

Perhaps because he had spent time as a bamboo, he felt a deep sympathy for Ah Yin's plight.

Setting aside whether Tang Hao had intentionally schemed for her sacrifice, his neglect of her over these years was enough to make him a complete beast...

Chen Xing crouched in front of the small mound for a long while, his strength gradually returning.

Once he regained his ability to move, he began to feel along the stone walls of the cave.

He remembered that the soul bone was hidden inside a lead box, and the box had a mechanism that would cause it to pop out.

While he was pondering, he touched a certain stone, and a sudden "click" echoed behind him!

Hm? Found it?

Sure enough, the moment Chen Xing turned around, he saw a long lead box with a portion of it exposed.

He excitedly pulled it out.

As he held the lead box, he could clearly feel that its weight was extraordinary.

As the lid was slowly lifted, a pure, extreme life energy rapidly diffused, filling the empty cave in the blink of an eye.

Before his eyes, it looked like a pale blue mist, interspersed with specks of golden light.

"A hundred thousand year soul bone! Truly extraordinary!"

Chen Xing marveled at the phenomena brought about by the soul bone's energy, while simultaneously yearning for the changes that would come after the fusion.

Not far away, the small blue grass also sensed this aura. The withered leaves gradually regained their vitality, and within mere seconds, the veins on the leaves began to emit a golden glow.

The lid was fully removed, and a leg bone, crystalline as jade, was exposed to the air.

At just one glance, Chen Xing was captivated by its beautiful form, his heart pounding violently.

As a transmigrator, Chen Xing's greatest taboo was indecision.

To avoid any complications, he decisively picked up the soul bone and pressed it directly against his right leg.

Whatever happened, he would deal with it after he finished absorbing the soul bone!

As a sovereign of plant-type soul beasts that encompassed all things, the soul bone transformed into pure energy in an instant, thoroughly merging into Chen Xing's body.

In a flash, all the blue light mist and golden specks in the cave converged toward Chen Xing.

An incredibly vast yet gentle energy continuously washed over Chen Xing's meridians. His Solitary Bamboo martial soul manifested automatically, its emerald body emitting a golden fluorescence as if it were undergoing a baptism.

His entire body was wrapped in warm soul power. Chen Xing could feel his flesh and bones growing, and his Soul Power Level was rising at a steady pace.

Level 3, Level 4, Level 5...

Once soul power reached a bottleneck, it would not rise further without obtaining a soul ring, but he could feel that the energy of the soul bone was far from exhausted.

Streams of gentle energy circulated through his meridians on their own. The soothing sensation made him narrow his eyes, enjoying this transformation...

The entire process lasted for about half an hour, and it was only when the final wisp of energy successfully integrated into his meridians that Chen Xing slowly opened his eyes.

[Detected that the host's Soul Power Level has reached level 10]

[Now initiating Hextech quality draw]

The mechanical female voice rang out once again, and he pulled up the system panel.

Sure enough, a scrolling animation appeared in the center of the transparent screen.

Having gained a concept of Hextech tiers, Chen Xing felt a faint sense of nervousness this time.

There was no doubt that the items provided by a Prismatic Hextech would be the best; if even the most basic Silver-White Hextech could help him transform, then if he really drew a Prismatic one...

He widened his eyes, his breathing becoming rapid.

Whether I can get ahead of Tang San depends on this crucial step!

The speed of the card pack scrolling gradually slowed down as time passed, and Chen Xing closed his eyes nervously, silently praying in his heart.

I am willing to trade ten years of being single for one Prismatic Hextech...

Turn the tide of the situation!

Open!

He stomped his foot hard and opened his eyes!

The card draw had concluded, and three options floated above the screen.

After looking closely, Chen Xing was so excited that he punched the stone wall beside him...

[Ascend to the Highest Peak] Immediately gain 1 level of Soul Power; when you reach level 90, immediately gain 9 levels of Soul Power.

[Golden Egg] Obtain 1 large Golden Egg; you can claim the loot when you reach level 70.

[Birthday Gift] Obtain a random reward every time you increase by 10 levels; the higher the level, the more generous the rewards.

Prismatic!

It really was Prismatic!

After a brief moment of excitement, he immediately began to examine the options.

The first one, Ascend to the Highest Peak, looked truly tempting.

As long as one promotes to a Titled Douluo, they could directly gain 9 levels of Soul Power; if paired with a deity's inheritance, it was likely possible to become a god directly!

The flaw was also quite obvious: even though it was a Prismatic Hextech, it provided no help to him at his current stage.

This point was somewhat unfriendly...

The second one...

Since it appeared in the options, it must have its own logic.

The flaw was the same, and the reward was uncertain; even if the Golden Egg contained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, it wouldn't be as good as the first one...

The third one!

No... who could resist picking this!

Upon seeing the Birthday Gift option, Chen Xing completely forgot about the 9 or 10 levels of Soul Power.

Just ask, what gambler could resist such a temptation? Most importantly: choosing it now would grant him a wave of rewards immediately!

As a transmigrator, he knew the importance of early-game development.

Regardless of how powerful you might be at higher levels later on, in this continent where strength is everything, a poor kid with no faction background who happens to carry a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone—who wouldn't be tempted to kill him!

Moreover, he wasn't sure if his identity as a transformed soul beast could be detected by experts; what if some old monster suddenly bumped into him one day and wanted to farm him for a Soul Bone!

Although, in the end, he might only drop a Ten Year Soul Bone...

Thinking of this, Chen Xing no longer hesitated!
