The waterfall still thundered.
He had no idea how the battle between Tang Hao and Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had turned out.
Lin Qingmo had no way to leave this hundred-meter-tall waterfall either.
He might as well take this opportunity to try fusing with this Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone right here!
He remembered that one of the Soul Bone Skills Tang San had obtained from the soul bone was "Flight."
Perhaps he could leave the waterfall later with the Flight Soul Bone Skill Tang San had once obtained from this leg bone.
With that thought in mind.
Lin Qingmo no longer hesitated.
He sat cross-legged on the floor of the stone chamber.
He placed the box containing the soul bone before him.
Taking a deep breath.
Lin Qingmo began circulating the meager Soul Power in his body, attempting to absorb and fuse with the soul bone.
The energy of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was immensely vast and pure.
For Lin Qingmo, a six-year-old Junior Spirit Master with only level-four Soul Power, the absorption process was undoubtedly long and difficult.
At the very beginning.
Lin Qingmo felt a berserk energy surge into his body.
That energy was like a raging river.
It wildly battered his meridians and Dantian.
In the blink of an eye, his body had been swollen taut.
"Hiss!"
Excruciating pain coursed through his entire body.
It felt as though that energy were about to tear him apart.
"Aaargh!"
Lin Qingmo could not help crying out in pain.
Fine sweat gradually covered his forehead as well.
The pain made him want to give up.
But when he thought of his worthless Innate Soul Power of level four.
When he thought of how difficult every step was for him on Douluo Continent.
He gritted his teeth and persevered.
"I can't give up! I'm going to soar!"
But people ultimately had their limits.
Especially a six-year-old child.
Just as Lin Qingmo was about to lose consciousness.
The wilted Ah Yin beside him suddenly moved.
Her branches and leaves slowly extended, winding around Lin Qingmo's body.
They gradually formed a soft green cocoon around him.
A gentle energy flowed over from Ah Yin's branches and leaves.
Vitality nourished Lin Qingmo's meridians, easing his pain.
It also helped him guide and digest the berserk energy of the soul bone.
Lin Qingmo felt the intense pain throughout his body lessen considerably.
With Ah Yin's assistance.
The speed at which he absorbed the soul bone clearly increased by a great deal.
Time passed bit by bit.
The next morning.
The first ray of sunlight appeared on the horizon.
The green cocoon around Lin Qingmo in the stone chamber suddenly began to loosen and fall away.
Gradually... Lin Qingmo's body was once again exposed to the air.
At this moment, he had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.
His short black hair had turned a crystalline blue, like flowing moonlight on ice.
His formerly black pupils had also become a clear crystalline blue, rippling with lively light.
His six-year-old body was still immature.
Yet it radiated vigorous vitality.
His skin was fair and lustrous.
A faint, vibrant glow seemed to shine through it.
His aura had also become completely different.
His originally weak level-four Soul Power was now rich and pure.
His Innate Soul Power had soared directly from level four to level ten.
He had finally reached the threshold of a Soul Master!
His Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, had likewise undergone enormous changes.
The formerly slender and weak Blue Silver Grass had become much thicker.
Its leaves were crystalline blue and gave off a dense aura of life.
Most importantly, controlling it had become exceptionally easy, as natural as an extension of his own arms.
"I did it! I really absorbed it successfully!"
Feeling the abundant Soul Power in his body.
Lin Qingmo's face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
He tried mobilizing his Soul Power.
The two Soul Bone Skills of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone surfaced in his mind.
[First Soul Bone Skill—**Flight!**]
This was an auxiliary Soul Bone Skill.
It allowed him to fly and could also increase his movement speed.
[Second Soul Bone Skill—**Wildfires Cannot Burn It All, Spring Breezes Bring It Back to Life!**]
This was a passive recovery-type Soul Bone Skill.
It allowed him to recover rapidly after suffering severe injuries and could even regenerate severed limbs.
It was exactly the same as in the original work.
"So this is the power of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?"
Lin Qingmo excitedly waved his little fists.
He was finally no longer the holder of a useless Martial Soul with level-four Innate Soul Power!
With this Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and level-ten Innate Soul Power, he could finally embark upon the true path of Soul Master cultivation.
Amid his excitement.
He suddenly noticed Ah Yin beside him.
Ah Yin's branches and leaves had completely withered by now.
Her leaves had turned dark yellow.
They had lost all luster and vitality.
She lay silently on the floor of the stone chamber, utterly motionless.
As though she had truly been declared dead.
"Ah Yin?"
Lin Qingmo froze.
He hurriedly ran over.
He carefully touched one of Ah Yin's branches.
It was cold and stiff.
There was no reaction at all.
Seeing this, a trace of sorrow could not help rising in Lin Qingmo's heart.
Even though they were not familiar with each other.
Ah Yin had given him the soul bone, and she had exhausted the last of her strength to help him absorb it.
In the end, she had withered away...
Ah Yin had died because of him.
Perhaps he would never be able to repay this kindness.
Just as Lin Qingmo was immersed in grief.
He suddenly felt a slight disturbance coming from his right leg.
"Hmm?"
He lowered his head to look.
Blue Silver Grass-like blue patterns covered his right leg.
Several slender blue silver blades of grass slowly emerged from those patterns.
The Blue Silver Grass gently swayed, as though greeting him.
"This is..."
Lin Qingmo was stunned.
A feeling stirred within him.
He tentatively asked, "Ah Yin? Is that you?"
Those blue silver blades of grass gently nodded, as though responding to him.
Lin Qingmo's eyes widened.
An incredulous expression appeared on his face.
"You're not dead?!"
The blades of grass nodded again.
Then they slowly wrapped around his finger.
They conveyed a gentle thought, as though soothing his emotions.
Only then did Lin Qingmo understand.
Ah Yin had not truly died.
After exhausting her strength, she had fused her consciousness and remaining life force into this Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
She had now formed a special symbiotic relationship with the soul bone!
"It's wonderful that you're all right!"
Lin Qingmo let out a breath of relief.
He truly did not want to owe an unpayable debt.
The sorrow in his heart instantly vanished.
"Ah Yin, thank you!"
Lin Qingmo looked utterly sincere.
"I promise you that within my lifetime, I will definitely take you back to Blue Silver Forest, let you take root and sprout anew, and restore you to your peak!"
The blue silver blades of grass gently swayed, as though nodding in agreement.
Then the branches and leaves returned to the Blue Silver Grass patterns.
Lin Qingmo took a deep breath.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Now isn't the time to linger."
He did not know whether the battle between Tang Hao and Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had ended.
Nor did he know who had won and who had lost.
"I must leave this place as soon as possible."
To avoid being dragged into unnecessary trouble.
He carefully cleared away the traces he had left inside the stone chamber.
He made sure no one would discover that someone had once been here.
Then he mobilized the Soul Power within him and activated the Soul Bone Skill of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone—Flight!
A pale blue glow radiated from the patterns on his right leg, and his entire body rose into the air.
"!!!"
Lin Qingmo controlled the power of flight, flew out of the stone chamber, and burst through the waterfall.
The sunlight outside was dazzling.
Lin Qingmo narrowed his eyes.
After adapting for only a moment, he did not linger.
He controlled the Flight Soul Bone Skill and flew in the direction away from Notting Academy.
