Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes.
A flash of emerald green vanished deep within his pupils.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands.
He clenched his fists, relaxed them, then clenched them again.
Power!
An unprecedented surge of strength coursed through his body.
"Ah Qing, is it over?"
Er Ni's trembling voice asked cautiously.
Lin Qing turned his head and smiled at her.
"Mm, it's over."
His voice was a little hoarse, yet steadier than ever before.
He stood up and stretched his body.
A series of crackling pops rang out from every joint in his body, like firecrackers going off.
"Young Master, do you feel any discomfort? It is a Soul Bone from a savage beast, so it is best to be careful."
Wu Yun walked over and, unusually, took the initiative to ask.
"Awesome!"
Lin Qing gave only one word in reply.
"Ah Qing?"
Er Ni called out joyfully, her gaze instinctively sweeping over Lin Qing's entire body.
Then—
"Waaah!!!"
Her face swiftly turned as red as a ripe tomato.
"Ah!"
She cried out and hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands, though the gaps between her fingers... seemed rather wide.
Her heart pounded like there was a rabbit trapped inside it.
Ah Qing... has really grown up...
The thought flashed uncontrollably through her mind, and her cheeks were hot enough to fry an egg.
Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes.
He let out a long breath of stale air.
"Success!!!"
He growled, unable to suppress the excitement in his voice.
No one understood his current condition better than he did.
Good!
Better than ever!
Boundless power surged through his body, as though inexhaustible vitality were racing within him.
The 400,000-Year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Torso Bone—successfully fused!
This was not merely gaining another Soul Bone.
