Heibai picked up the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone before him and brought his big face close to inspect it.
"Second Brother, Heibai is ultimately different from a Soul Master. Can he really absorb it while keeping his mind completely focused?" Since this was an experiment, Dugu Bo was not entirely sure either.
If absorbing a Soul Bone required a mind free of distractions...
Thinking of this, Zhao Mu said to Heibai, "Didn't you want to learn the Nine Yin Bone-Clawing Skill so you could eat bamboo faster? Focus on absorbing this thing, and your claws will be even more useful than the Nine Yin Bone-Clawing Skill!"
Heibai knew that the Nine Yin Bone-Clawing Skill was the ultimate move Zhao Mu had used to slice apart the Nine-Section Jade. He had always wanted to learn it, but no matter how many times he recited those few incantations, nothing happened, so he eventually gave up.
Now that Zhao Mu said this, Heibai's eyes immediately lit up.
"Really? Heart for heart, you can't fool a bear again, okay~"
"What a joke! When have I ever fooled you?"
As he spoke, Zhao Mu gave Heibai's butt a kick.
Heibai obediently held the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone and cutely closed his eyes.
Zhao Mu had great confidence in Heibai. After all, Heibai had even successfully fused attribute natures and somehow created Boil Release. Fusing a Soul Bone should be easy as pie.
And Heibai did not disappoint Zhao Mu. Just as Zhao Mu was worrying that the little guy might fall asleep with his eyes closed, faint spiritual fluctuations began to arise from Heibai's body.
The spiritual fluctuations were not strong, but they were extremely distinct.
Dugu Bo had absorbed Soul Bones before, so he sensed this more clearly
