Fusion of the Soul Bone

After absorbing his fifth soul ring, his Soul Power had already reached level 53. Over the past three months, aside from completing the academy's assignments, Ning Que had spent most of his time cultivating diligently.

But Support System soul masters cultivated far too slowly.

Fortunately, his accumulated foundation was sufficient. After the Gold of Life merged into him and cleansed his body, his Soul Power advanced further. Coupled with his previous foundation, he easily broke through one level and reached level 54.

The reason his Soul Power had only increased by one level was that the Gold of Life's core function was to improve one's physique and expand and reinforce the Sea of Consciousness. It did not directly increase Soul Power.

"This is the remaining Gold of Life. Keep it as a reserve."

"Whether it's the Life Carving Knife or that flying sword of yours called Spare Me Senior, they've already fused into one and formed their own little world. From now on, avoid using their power whenever possible. Once you are strong enough in the future, both of them will serve as foundations for forging divine artifacts."

At the mention of the name Ning Que had given that flying sword, even Electrolux could barely hold it together.

At first, he had not understood why it sounded so impressive. But when he recalled how many people liked to shout out the names of their moves in battle, he immediately understood what this little brat was up to.

He really was a mischievous little fellow.

Electrolux then gave the thumb-sized piece of Gold of Life he had kept to Ning Que.

He himself went to sleep, looking somewhat exhausted.

When Ning Que fused the Gold of Life into his Sea of Consciousness, waves of dense life force continuously flowed beneath the pagoda, granting everyone considerable benefits.

Within the sect, many people even used this opportunity to advance further.

Neither Ning Que nor Ye Guyi took part in what followed.

They were both fusing soul bones.

Ye Guyi was naturally fusing a divine-grade soul bone—the Angel Set.

The increase in her strength and the further advancement of her spiritual power allowed her to fuse another divine-grade soul bone.

This time, Ye Guyi chose a torso bone.

She wanted to obtain a soul beast with a higher cultivation age for her seventh soul ring.

As for Ning Que, he naturally fused the 290,000-year Diamond Mammoth torso bone obtained from Shrek Academy.

Time slowly passed, and half a month later, Ning Que was the first to complete the fusion.

Through the fusion of the soul bone, his Soul Power Level rose by three levels in succession, directly reaching level 57.

That was because this soul bone had existed for far too long.

If it had been obtained from a freshly hunted soul beast, a 290,000-year torso bone could have raised Ning Que's Soul Power all the way to just shy of Soul Emperor.

But that was not the most important part.

Most importantly, through fusing this 290,000-year gem-type soul bone, his martial soul finally evolved further. It had completely changed from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda into the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

He had finally taken the first successful step toward breaking the shackles of his martial soul.

The more this was the case, the more Ning Que understood that if he wanted to reforge the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, every step ahead had to be the best possible. He could not settle or compromise even once.

One wrong step, and he would lose the opportunity.

Unless he obtained the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Another half month passed before Ye Guyi completed her soul bone fusion. Her Soul Power had also reached level 69. With just one more step forward, she could break through to level 70 and become a Soul Sage.

Ye Guyi was in no hurry. If she had wanted to break through, she could have done so long ago. The reason she held back was, on one hand, because she wanted something that belonged to her alone—something beyond her martial soul and soul skills. On the other hand, she wanted to transform her martial soul's attribute into an ultimate one.

It was rather laughable. Whether it was the divine-grade martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, from ten thousand years ago, or the Holy Angel martial soul she possessed, neither had an ultimate attribute.

Based on the final words Qian Renxue had left behind, Ye Guyi guessed that someone had likely tampered with the Angel God's inheritance, resulting in this situation.

Only then did the two end their secluded cultivation.

The moment they emerged, they happened to meet Yang Pojun, who had returned from hunting a soul beast with his son.

"Uncle Yang, congratulations on becoming a Title Douluo. Our Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has gained another consecrated elder."

Ning Que looked at Yang Duo, whose entire being had undergone a complete transformation. He knew that Yang Duo had successfully obtained a Hundred Thousand Year soul ring.

There was no need to mention the older generation of soul masters in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. Both Elder Shi and Elder Yang possessed Hundred Thousand Year soul rings; the former simply had two, while the latter had one.

But among the generation that formed the sect's backbone, only two of the many Title Douluo possessed Hundred Thousand Year soul rings. One was his mother, Yun Shuwan.

The other was Red Dragon Douluo Wu Tianxin. This was also why the sect valued Wu Feng so highly.

As for Thunder Eagle Douluo Lei Yun and Crocodile King Douluo Jin Heng, whom they had recruited, neither possessed a Hundred Thousand Year soul ring.

Instead, Golden Tiger Douluo Dai Chengfeng, recruited later, and Yang Duo, a rising talent of the Breaking Clan, both possessed Hundred Thousand Year soul rings and their own Hundred Thousand Year soul bones.

They were the pillars who would support the sect in the future.

But one thing was difficult to change: the quality of both their martial souls could only be considered high-grade. They did not reach the standard of super martial souls.

In the future, level 97 Title Douluo would be their limit. Unless they encountered further opportunities, they might advance another step and reach level 98.

As for becoming a level 99 Limit Douluo, that was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

"I heard you found me a wife. When school starts this time, I can go with you and take a look at my new wife."

Yang Duo's gaze toward Ning Que was filled with affection.

If not for this kid, with his own foundation and potential, he truly would not have been able to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year soul ring as his ninth soul ring. Fortunately, that life force had strengthened his body, and with the assistance of the soul bone, he had successfully obtained a Hundred Thousand Year ninth soul ring.

As for taking a secondhand woman as his wife, he had no such purity obsession.

If it could allow his family's inherited martial soul to evolve in the future, or even directly transform into the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear, then forget secondhand—he would not mind even fifthhand.

"Consider it done. As long as you don't mind, Uncle Yang, I'm definitely helping you steal this wife away."

Ning Que was also very happy. At the thought of Uncle Yang cuckolding Yan Shaozhe, he felt an inexplicable thrill.

Another Title Douluo had appeared among the holders of the Soul-Breaking Spear martial soul. If anyone was the most envious, it was undoubtedly the former Defense Clan.

After merging into the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, they had lived quite well over the years, and their clansmen had gradually increased in number. But due to the limitations of their martial soul's quality, they had never produced a true powerhouse all these years.

The last time they had produced a Title Douluo was a thousand years ago.

Fortunately, the Young Master had planned a path of development for them. As long as the Defense Clan followed that plan, perhaps after five or six generations, their inherited martial soul would undergo a fundamental change.

Another Title Douluo had appeared in the sect. The string of happy events delighted Sect Master Ning Yunfan, and he held a lavish feast.

No matter what, it had to be celebrated.

Ning Que and Ye Guyi took the opportunity to join in and relax.

While wandering around, Ning Que arrived at the sect's Gravity Training Room.

Then he saw Elder Jin whipping Jin Sheng.

Holding a ten-thousand-year Diamond Vine, he lashed Jin Sheng's body again and again.

With every strike, blood splattered everywhere, yet an invisible strand of the Diamond Vine's power also seeped into Jin Sheng's body.

That feeling was truly exhilarating.

"Hasn't this kid obtained his fourth soul ring yet?"

Ning Que was somewhat surprised. Jin Sheng had already broken through level 40 back at school. He had been back for so long and still had not obtained his fourth soul ring. It seemed his ambitions were not small!
