'Kidnapping'? No, it's Asking Su Yuntao for Help! Awaken Martial Soul!

Hum--!

Inside the box lay a crystal-clear leg bone, resting in silence.

Its entire body shimmered with a dreamlike blue-gold hue.

Bathed in its radiance, the dim cave was transformed into a realm of strange, blue-gold light.

Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone!

"Gulp..."

The distinct sound of someone swallowing echoed with startling clarity through the silent cave.

Lan Yiyi's beautiful eyes went wide, locked firmly onto the soul bone in Xu Zhao's hand.

It was as if her pupils had been caught by a magnet, unable to pull away even an inch.

Her connection to this soul bone was stronger than anyone else's.

The moment it appeared, the martial soul within her body trembled and cheered as if it had gone mad.

An extreme craving, rising from the depths of her bloodline, made every cell in her body scream:

Get it!

You must get it!

It was the ultimate temptation of a homologous power, a chance for her life essence to transcend!

Lan Yiyi felt her throat go dry and her breathing turn ragged, her chest heaving violently.

If anyone else had been holding this soul bone, she likely would have lost control and lunged to snatch it.

But the person holding it was Xu Zhao.

It was her beloved Brother Zhao.

Reason forcibly suppressed her instinctive urges.

Lan Yiyi did not reach for it directly; instead, she slowly raised her head, her once cold eyes now brimming with shimmering, watery emotion.

She reached out with both hands, gently tugging at Xu Zhao's sleeve, and leaned her soft body against him.

Her voice was so sweet and syrupy it seemed to stretch:

"Brother Zhao~~"

That "Brother Zhao" was uttered with such lingering, melodic charm that it felt bone-meltingly intoxicating.

Lan Yiyi tilted her pretty face upward, her eyes filled with pleading and desire, looking exactly like a greedy kitten begging its master for a treat:

"The aura of this soul bone... it feels so intimate, so comfortable..."

"Yiyi feels... like it's calling out to me..."

As she spoke, Lan Yiyi rubbed her ample chest gently against Xu Zhao's arm, the intent of her coquetry beyond obvious.

Xu Zhao looked down at the alluring sight in his arms and couldn't help but chuckle.

He naturally knew what this soul bone meant for Lan Yiyi.

The same soul bone, when absorbed by different soul masters, could sometimes yield different soul skills.

Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

In the original story, it provided Tang San with the heaven-defying recovery ability "Wildfire Cannot Destroy, Spring Breeze Brings Life Again," as well as a flight skill.

These two soul skills.

If Lan Yiyi absorbed it.

The first, "Wildfire Cannot Destroy, Spring Breeze Brings Life Again," would certainly be there, and the effects might even be better.

After absorbing it, Lan Yiyi would definitely be able to awaken the Blue Silver Domain.

As for the second soul skill, it wouldn't necessarily be flight.

Moreover, for Lan Yiyi.

A flight soul skill was purely redundant.

She could rely entirely on a flight Soul Tool.

There was absolutely no need to waste a hundred thousand year soul bone skill.

"You want it?"

Xu Zhao weighed the soul bone in his hand, asking with a playful smile.

"Mm-hmm!"

Lan Yiyi nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes burning with intensity:

"I want it!

I want it so much!"

"Brother Zhao is the best..."

Xu Zhao did not tease her further, casually tossing the priceless Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone over to her.

His movement was as nonchalant as if he were throwing an ordinary rock.

"Since you want it, it's yours."

"This Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone shares the same origin as your Martial Soul; it is a perfect fit."

Lan Yiyi scrambled to catch the soul bone, feeling the warm, jade-like texture and the surging life force within it.

She was so excited she nearly jumped for joy.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao!

Long live the Crown Prince!"

Lan Yiyi cheered in excitement, casting all reserve aside.

She stood on her tiptoes and planted a heavy kiss on Xu Zhao's cheek, leaving a bright red lipstick mark behind.

For Lan Yiyi.

The most important thing right now.

Was to secure her status and title as the Crown Princess.

And before they had set out.

Lan Ya and Wei Kurong had promised her.

That as long as she reached the Title Douluo realm.

They would go together to petition the Emperor and Empress to name her the Crown Princess.

With this soul bone in hand.

Reaching the Title Douluo realm was a certainty.

Afterward, Lan Yiyi clutched the soul bone to her chest as if it were a priceless treasure, stroking it incessantly with eyes full of infatuation.

"With this, Yiyi will be able to serve Brother Zhao even better in the future!"

Xu Zhao wiped the lipstick mark off his face, shook his head helplessly at Lan Yiyi's greedy expression, and then his gaze turned deep and contemplative.

"Alright, now that you have what you wanted, it is time for us to leave."

"After all, this is Tang Hao's lair. Even though he isn't here right now, there is no guarantee he won't return suddenly."

After leaving the hidden cave, Xu Zhao's mood became noticeably lighter.

Not only had he intercepted Tang San's future cheat—the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone—but he had also taken Ah Yin's original body.

But that was not what he was most looking forward to.

What truly made his heart race was the "Newbie Tutorial Quest" that had been hanging on his system panel for so long, which he could finally complete now.

[Tutorial Quest: Please proceed to Holy Soul Village, south of Notting City, Fasinuo Province, as soon as possible.]

[Quest Objective: Find Master 'Su Yuntao' and have him assist in awakening your Martial Soul; the host will awaken the third Martial Soul, 'Blue Silver Grass'.]

[Quest Reward: Martial Soul quality evolves into 'Blue Silver King', Innate Soul Power increases by one level (can break through the Innate Full Soul Power limit).]

"Third Martial Soul... Blue Silver King..."

A flicker of burning intensity flashed in Xu Zhao's eyes.

In this world, Twin Martial Souls were already rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and a triple Martial Soul was unheard of!

Even though Xu Zhao was peerlessly talented.

Having reached level 94.

Advancing any further.

Was significantly more difficult than before.

Awakening a third Martial Soul.

Counting the remaining eight soul ring slots for his Moon Martial Soul.

That would mean a total of fifteen soul ring slots.

Even if he lowered his standards and absorbed ten-thousand-year soul rings of several tens of thousands of years.

Xu Zhao's soul power would still skyrocket through the absorption of those rings.

Not to mention, this third Martial Soul could be directly evolved through system rewards.

Evolving into a true Blue Silver Emperor in the future was well within reach.

"Let's go, to Notting City."

Xu Zhao did not hesitate, wrapping his arm around Lan Yiyi's slender waist.

The magnificent wings of light, formed from condensed soul power, unfurled from his back.

Carrying the two of them, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off in the direction of Notting City.

To avoid causing an unnecessary stir, Xu Zhao deliberately landed with Lan Yiyi upon reaching the outskirts of Notting City.

The two used simple camouflage Soul Tools to slightly alter their appearances and hair colors.

Xu Zhao reined in his imposing, noble aura, transforming into a cold-faced young soul master.

Meanwhile, Lan Yiyi concealed her stunning beauty, posing as a well-behaved maid by his side.

Although their temperament remained exceptional, at least they would not immediately remind people of the Great Ming Empire that had just captured Linhai City.

After entering Notting City, Xu Zhao headed straight for the Spirit Hall Branch with practiced ease.

Relying on his powerful spiritual perception.

In an instant, Xu Zhao locked onto the "tool man" who was inside the branch office organizing files with a bitter, deep-seated look on his face—Su Yuntao.
