"Heh!"
Watching Qian Wulu's dazed expression, Qian Wuyou chuckled softly and began introducing the three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones in his hands.
"Little sister, these three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones are the Hundred-Thousand-Year Left Arm Bone dropped by the Titan Giant Ape, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Right Arm Bone dropped by the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Right Leg Bone left behind after the Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice..."
At his words, Qian Wulu froze for a moment.
"Hm???"
"The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor???"
She had expected the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones dropped by the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
But when she heard the name of the other bone, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, it sounded strangely familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Unable to remember just then, Qian Wulu couldn't help scratching her head.
Seeing his own little sister's confusion, Qian Wuyou could only shake his head helplessly.
"Little sister, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, was the fuse that led to the death of the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, more than ten years ago. Her name was—Ah Yin!"
After handing the three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones to Qian Wulu, Qian Wuyou told her about what had happened back then.
"Oh, oh, oh!"
"The Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin..."
After hearing Qian Wuyou's explanation, Qian Wulu remembered those memories she had long since forgotten.
Well, it wasn't her fault for being so absent-minded.
The truth was, back then she'd been a little kid in split-crotch pants who hadn't even been weaned. How could she possibly remember Qian Xunji getting beaten to death by Tang Hao?
Ever since Qian Xunji's death, no one in Spirit City—or among the Angel Clan, for that matter—had dared bring up what happened in front of Qian Daoliu.
She had only heard about it in passing back then, and by the time she grew up, she'd long since forgotten every last detail.
Now, with her big brother's reminder, memories that had died in her mind came back to life.
After learning the whole story, Qian Wulu seemed to think of something.
She put away the Hundred-Thousand-Year Left Arm Bone dropped by the Titan Giant Ape and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Right Arm Bone dropped by the Sky Azure Bull Python, leaving only the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Then Qian Wulu spoke.
"Big brother, since you're not leaving for Gengxin City to handle the Blacksmith Association's affairs until tomorrow, I'll absorb this Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone now..."
She was currently a Level 67 Battle Soul Emperor. If she absorbed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone in her hands, her Soul Power Level would definitely reach Level 70, making her a Quasi-Soul Saint.
Without a suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, she wouldn't be able to break through to Level 70 and become a Battle Soul Saint anytime soon. Even if she absorbed the other two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, she would only get stuck at the threshold of Level 70, still a Quasi-Soul Emperor.
Rather than waste the boost in Soul Power from the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, she might as well keep them. Once she found a suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and broke through to Level 70 as a Battle Soul Saint, she could still absorb the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones dropped by the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Mm! All right!"
"Go ahead and absorb the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. Tianzhen, Wuxie, and I will keep watch for you..."
Qian Wuyou nodded, telling his little sister to absorb it without worry.
Unlike absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, which carried the risk of one's body exploding, absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone came with no such danger. In fact, it was perfectly safe...
And so, under the watchful eyes of Qian Wuyou, Tianzhen, and Wuxie, Qian Wulu began fusing with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone in her hands.
It took her only two and a half hours to finish fusing with the Soul Bone.
"Level 70, Quasi-Soul Saint..."
"Big brother, Big Sister Tianzhen, Big Sister Wuxie, after absorbing the Soul Bone, my Soul Power Level has broken through to Level 70. I'm a Quasi-Soul Saint now..."
Feeling the powerful Soul Power surging within her, Qian Wulu cheered excitedly. She'd even completely forgotten about the two Soul Bone Skills that came with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
"A Level 70 Quasi-Soul Saint..."
"Mm! Not bad, not bad!"
Qian Wuyou nodded, pleased with how talented his little sister was.
She still couldn't compare to him, of course, but reaching Level 70 as a Quasi-Soul Saint at just eighteen was enough to crush the vast majority of Soul Master prodigies across the continent...
Just then, Tianzhen and Wuxie asked from nearby,
"Young Master, what kind of Soul Bone Skills did that Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone give you?"
At Tianzhen and Wuxie's question, Qian Wuyou first paused, then wore a peculiar expression.
When it came to the two Soul Bone Skills of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, other people might not know what they were, but he knew them like the back of his hand.
The first Soul Bone Skill—flight.
The second Soul Bone Skill—"Wildfire never dies; with the spring breeze, it springs anew."
[I've caught a cold and have a fever, so the update may not be very good. I'll revise it later, so please bear with me...]
Hearing Tianzhen and Wuxie's question, Qian Wulu, who had been immersed in the joy of her breakthrough, froze on the spot. Her hand unconsciously touched her right leg, and belated regret filled her face.
She had been too caught up in the rush of her surging Soul Power, too excited about reaching Level 70 as a Quasi-Soul Saint, to pay any attention to the skills that came with the Soul Bone. Only when Tianzhen brought them up did she smack her forehead and stick out her rosy little tongue.
"Ah! I was so happy I forgot to check the Soul Bone Skills!"
As she spoke, Qian Wulu closed her eyes and sank her consciousness into her body, forging a deeper connection with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone she had just finished fusing with. Blue Silver Emperor Soul Power, gentle yet brimming with immense vitality, flowed slowly from her right leg bone through her limbs and body, intertwining with her own Angel Soul Power. The two completely different energies did not conflict; instead, they formed a wondrous balance within her.
Qian Wuyou stood to one side with his hands behind his back, a knowing smile playing on his lips and a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He knew just how powerful these two Soul Bone Skills were, especially that nearly undying ability to recover. Across the entire Douluo Continent, it was a top-tier means of staying alive. With this Soul Bone, Qian Wulu would have the strongest shield imaginable when she ventured across the continent in the future.
A moment later, Qian Wulu slowly opened her eyes. A faint blue-gold light flashed in them. Confusion appeared on her face at first, then gave way to overwhelming delight and astonishment. Her lips parted slightly, disbelief written all over her.
"This... these Soul Bone Skills..."
She couldn't help crying out in surprise.
The next second, a gentle stream of green Soul Power burst from her right leg bone, lifting her body until she floated slowly in midair.
Her body felt as light as a feather, without the slightest stiffness. She could drift up and down as she pleased, and even turn or move sideways with ease. She was faster than with an ordinary flight Soul Skill.
"The first Soul Bone Skill is flight!"
Qian Wulu spun lightly in the air, while Tianzhen and Wuxie exchanged glances.
This Soul Skill was so useless. Was this really the kind of skill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone was supposed to have?
