Yan Shaozhe looked at the Soul Bone emitting a terrifying aura and gently shook his head.

If it were a limb bone, Yan Shaozhe would have unhesitatingly handed it directly to Lu Heqiu for absorption. But this Soul Bone was not a limb bone; it was the most crucial torso bone!

If something went wrong during the absorption of the torso bone.

How could they stop Lu Heqiu?

They couldn't just chop off Lu Heqiu's torso, could they?

Even a Limit Douluo would die without their torso.

Human technology had not yet developed to the point where one could survive without a torso bone.

Xuan Zi let out a soft snort.

He knew this kid simply couldn't be that lucky.

"Let's keep this Soul Bone for now."

"It can still be used when this kid grows up."

"Fortunately, Soul Bones don't dissipate over time like Soul Rings. As long as this kid grows up successfully, this Soul Bone will still be his."

Yan Shaozhe could only nod gently at this point. It was the only option available. They could only keep this torso bone until Lu Heqiu was able to absorb it. Although that day would definitely not be too far off, it was certainly not today.

However, what Yan Shaozhe didn't expect was.

Lu Heqiu, who had been standing beside the Azure Blood Dragon Beast, actually walked towards the Soul Bone.

His tender little hand grasped the massive Soul Bone, circulated his Soul Power, and immediately began to absorb it into his body.

Yan Shaozhe didn't have time to stop him.

Even Xuan Zi didn't see this scene.

His previously stumbling body directly sat down cross-legged, absorbing it with proper form.

"This kid!"

Xuan Zi exclaimed in shock.

But it was too late to stop him.

He could only stare intently at Lu Heqiu, waiting for the Soul Bone to be completely absorbed into his body. A hint of regret flashed in Ma Xiaotao's eyes. She should have been the one to watch over Lu Heqiu.

She had been so engrossed in listening to Yan Shaozhe speak that she hadn't noticed Lu Heqiu's actions, allowing Lu Heqiu to seize the opportunity.

No matter how angry Xuan Zi was now, it was useless.

Once the absorption of the Soul Bone began.

It was no longer something he could interrupt.

He could only pray that Lu Heqiu would succeed in absorbing it this time.

As for that Soul Ring... there was little hope for it anyway. If it dissipated, it dissipated. No one present could absorb it, so it wasn't a waste. They could consider it as accumulating a Soul Bone for the little one.

In the Sea of Consciousness.

Lu Heqiu sat cross-legged in mid-air, his body firmly bound by nine chains. The lightning specifically targeting him on the chains showed no signs of relaxing, constantly watching him until the torso bone appeared.

"A hundred-thousand-year torso bone?"

"Then... come and strengthen this body further."

He gently beckoned with his left hand.

The torso bone seemed to have heard the call and flew towards Lu Heqiu.

The surrounding lightning ignored it. This was a power permitted by the rules of this world. Lu Heqiu wasn't breaking any rules; in fact, the surrounding lightning even encouraged it, eliminating impurities within the torso bone with lightning.

When it landed in front of Lu Heqiu.

The originally emerald green bone now displayed a golden-yellow hue.

It was almost identical to the golden-yellow ocean below.

Without Lu Heqiu needing to do anything further, the Soul Bone directly merged into Lu Heqiu's body.

Xuan Zi outside was stunned.

Although they couldn't stop Lu Heqiu from absorbing the Soul Bone, they could see the progress of his absorption. They had initially thought it would take several days to completely absorb it, but in less than fifteen minutes, the Soul Bone was already close to being fully absorbed by Lu Heqiu.

More than half of the power from the Soul Bone had merged into Lu Heqiu's body. Not only was there a high probability of successful absorption, but it was also much faster than Xuan Zi and the others had predicted!

"This..."

"This is perfect compatibility!?"

"No, how can a Soul Bone be compatible with a human to this extent? Could this little guy be a reincarnation of the Azure Blood Dragon Beast?"

Xuan Zi couldn't believe his eyes, but he was even more unwilling to doubt the perception of a Super Douluo. The Lu Heqiu before him was indeed on the verge of successful absorption!

Yan Shaozhe's face was filled with a wry smile. Looking at Lu Heqiu, he was also unwilling to believe it, but he still actively spoke up for Lu Heqiu, saying.

"Xuan Zi is joking."

"There is only one Azure Blood Dragon Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Even if there were kin, they couldn't possibly reach the hundred-thousand-year level. This little one is truly human... a monster."

Elder Xuan snorted and ignored him.

He's getting more boring with age!

Can't he tell it's a joke!

But...

Elder Xuan's gaze returned to the gradually fading blood-red Soul Ring, and a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind: Could this kid actually slap his face?

As soon as the thought arose, Lu Heqiu, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. However, his eyes were instantly different. One of them even turned golden yellow, seemingly influenced by the Azure Blood Dragon Beast Torso Bone he had just acquired.

His body also underwent changes.

It was unclear whether it was due to his physique strengthening or the seal loosening again.

His slightly oversized clothes now felt tight. Visually, Lu Heqiu now looked no different from an ordinary two or three-year-old child, and no one would have guessed that he was only half a year old when he first entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Success!?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.

Lu Heqiu being able to absorb this Soul Bone was already beyond his and Elder Xuan's expectations. But now, Lu Heqiu might actually completely absorb this red Soul Ring before it dissipated!

A hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring! This was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!

There had never been one in the history of the continent!

"What Soul Skill did he get?"

Despite his extremely grim expression, Elder Xuan still asked Lu Heqiu. However, Lu Heqiu showed no intention of acknowledging him, walking directly towards the vibrant blood-red Soul Ring.

It wasn't that he didn't want to answer.

It was that even Lu Heqiu hadn't examined the condition of the Soul Bone in detail.

This Soul Ring had existed for some time.

He needed to seize the time to absorb this Soul Ring!

The Soul Bone was merely an unexpected bonus.

Only the Soul Ring was the key to unlocking the seal!

Elder Xuan watched Lu Heqiu walk towards the blood-red Soul Ring without intervening. A hint of anticipation flickered in his ancient eyes; this little one had already created too many miracles.

There was no need to obstruct this Soul Ring anymore.

Even if this little one failed.

They still had a chance to help interrupt. It couldn't possibly be more dangerous than that Soul Bone, could it?

Ma Xiaotao's face also held the same excitement as Yan Shaozhe's. She also wanted to witness a miracle from Lu Heqiu. This hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring as a first Soul Ring was a miracle in itself!

Under the varied gazes of the three.

Lu Heqiu's small figure walked towards the Soul Ring, sat upon it, and began to draw it into his body using the Soul Power within him. The blood-red light spread, and the residual soul of the Azure Blood Dragon Beast hidden within the Soul Ring raged.

But everyone knew.

The absorption of the Soul Ring... had begun!
