Zhu Shen Evolves Again

[Congratulations to the host for completing the Opportunity Mission: Eat and Take, unlocking the Lucky Draw Wheel function.]

[Reward obtained: Lucky Draw Wheel, one draw attempt.]

As Zhu Shen was haggling with Tang Hao, the system notification suddenly chimed.

He froze for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed. What did they mean by "eat and take"? This was robbery. No, it was an investment.

Zhu Shen felt the spirit bone Tang Hao gave him was somewhat strange, but for now, he decided to draw first.

"Draw."

[Starting Lucky Draw]

[Lucky Draw Wheel activated]

[Drawing]

[Congratulations on winning the special reward: Bibi Dong's Love Letter]

[The holder of this item will find it easier to gain Bibi Dong's favor]

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap." Zhu Shen couldn't hold back a curse. He thought to himself that this Tang family father and son were truly wealthy, showering him with gold coins.

Moreover, as someone who particularly liked Bibi Dong, this item was more important to him than a spirit bone.

Before Zhu Shen could recover from his pleasant surprise, Tang Hao's voice sounded from beside him.

"This is an extremely evil spirit bone. Little San cannot use it, so I will give it to you."

Zhu Shen snapped back to reality and looked at the spirit bone again.

He felt a sense of familiarity the moment he saw it; the aura was very similar to the one Snake Undying had just now.

"System, do you have an Illustrated Handbook function?" Zhu Shen asked the system internally, thinking it was only natural for such a powerful system to have one.

[Congratulations on successfully finding the Illustrated Handbook System, unlocking successful]

[Reward obtained: Primordial Pearl]

Zhu Shen was overjoyed. His opinion of the system had completely changed; it was purely a welfare machine, giving him whatever he asked for.

"What is this spirit bone?"

[Twenty-thousand-year Evil Phoenix Spirit Bone, Torso Spirit Bone]

Evil Phoenix? It made sense for an Evil Soul Master to use the spirit bone of an extremely evil spirit beast.

Zhu Shen looked at Tang Hao, took the spirit bone, and asked, "His Excellency Haotian, what is this?"

Tang Hao's expression was somewhat strange: "This is a twenty-thousand-year Evil Phoenix Torso Spirit Bone. It is very evil and not suitable for Little San, so I will give it to you."

Zhu Shen was speechless. So, you're only giving it to me because no one else wants it or can suppress it.

However, he understood that Tang Hao knew his martial soul had evolved into the Dragon God and could completely suppress the Evil Phoenix spirit bone, which was why he gave it to him.

Regardless, Tang Hao was being quite generous.

But now he had a new question: the system had given him a Dragon God External Spirit Bone and a Dragon God Left Arm Bone, so would it also give him a full Dragon God Set?

Zhu Shen thought it was very likely. After all, the system was going to give Tang San the Pure Bamboo Set, so it was reasonable for him to receive a Dragon God Set.

Thinking of this, Zhu Shen wanted to laugh, but he also felt it would be a pity not to take the spirit bone Tang Hao was giving away for free; he couldn't bear to refuse.

Zhu Shen suddenly thought that the system might have opportunity missions that could give him random spirit bones, and he had a bold guess.

"System, can I absorb two sets of spirit bones?"

[Yes, the system will provide you with the Dragon God Set, and you may absorb another set of spirit bones on your own; the two do not conflict.]

"Good, good, good. System, you really are a great system that gives me whatever I want."

Now, Zhu Shen discovered the system's merits. It truly responded to every call.

Before he could think too much, Tang Hao saw Zhu Shen silent for a long time and, thinking he was afraid, said, "Grandmaster, your martial soul can suppress the Evil Phoenix after its evolution. You can absorb it now, and I will protect you."

Zhu Shen naturally agreed. He had wanted to absorb the spirit bone for a long time, but he had been afraid that those Evil Soul Masters would return and ambush him while he was absorbing it.

Zhu Shen quickly replied, "His Excellency Haotian, thank you."

Without waiting for Tang Hao to respond, Zhu Shen sat cross-legged, took out the Evil Phoenix spirit bone and the two Dragon God spirit bones, and prepared to absorb them.

However, before that, he decided it would be safer to absorb the Strange Velvet Chrysanthemum first to improve his physical strength.

Tang Hao was stunned again. As a generation of prodigies, he had never been so at a loss.

Two more spirit bones?

Four spirit bones? You are a level 30 Great Spirit Master holding four spirit bones—is this right?

And those two spirit bones were clearly extraordinary.

He himself, as the new young master of the Haotian Sect, had only achieved a full set of spirit bones through the sect's all-out cultivation, and even his brother Tang Xiao didn't have that many. You just pulled out four?

Tang Hao felt that Grandmaster was very strange today: two purple spirit rings, a martial soul evolution, "eating and taking" everything, and now four spirit bones.

In what way did this look like a Grandmaster?

Zhu Shen sat cross-legged, the three spirit bones lined up in front of him.

Tang Hao's gaze swept across the three spirit bones one by one, his expression gradually turning grave.

The two Dragon God Soul Bones emitted a faint golden halo, the scale patterns on their surfaces appearing lifelike.

The Evil Phoenix Torso Bone, however, was dark red throughout, faintly wreathed in black mist, giving off a cold and unsettling sensation.

"Grandmaster, you..."

Just as Tang Hao began to speak, Zhu Shen had already closed his eyes, and the three spirit bones along with one immortal herb floated up simultaneously.

The left arm bone flew toward his left arm, the Evil Phoenix Torso Bone pressed against his spine, and the Dragon God External Spirit Bone moved toward his back.

"Reckless!"

Tang Hao's expression changed drastically. External Spirit Bones were the most dangerous and difficult type to absorb!

Grandmaster was only a level 30 Great Spirit Master, yet he dared to absorb three at once, one of which was an External Spirit Bone!

He was insane!

"...Insane," Tang Hao muttered, stepping back two paces and sitting down again, though he dared not take his eyes off him for a single moment.

Absorbing three bones at once.

The energy of the three spirit bones surged into his body like three raging dragons, the violent power rampaging through his meridians.

[Detected host absorbing three spirit bones simultaneously, initiating Dragon God Bloodline suppression]

The Dragon God Martial Soul within Zhu Shen's body jolted violently, and an indescribable pressure erupted from the depths of his bloodline.

The two Dragon God Soul Bones were the most submissive, almost actively merging into Zhu Shen's skeleton.

Golden energy spread along his left arm, plating every inch of bone with a layer of pale gold. The golden energy traveled upward along his spine, and memories of the dragon race's combat instincts flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

As for the Evil Phoenix Soul Bone, it trembled under the Dragon God's pressure.

Though the Evil Phoenix was strong, it was ultimately just a branch of the phoenix lineage. Facing the Dragon God Bloodline, the sovereign of all beasts, the innate suppression weakened its resistance by seventy percent.

But the remaining thirty percent was still perilous.

The Evil Phoenix Soul Bone struggled frantically at Zhu Shen's spine, its dark red energy attempting to erode his flesh and blood.

[Detected lingering will of an Evil Soul Master, perform purification?]

"Purify."

[Purifying... Purification complete]

[Evil Phoenix Soul Bone purified, evil energy converted into pure Phoenix Flame attribute]

The dark red faded, replaced by a blazing golden-red. A warm, scorching energy surged into Zhu Shen's spine, intertwining with the golden energy of the Dragon God torso bone.

Dragon and phoenix, two supreme powers, reached a delicate balance within Zhu Shen's body.

The energy of the three spirit bones converged within Zhu Shen, the golden and golden-red energies circulating back and forth along his meridians. With every cycle, Zhu Shen's bones, flesh, and meridians were strengthened by another degree.

Outside, Tang Hao watched, dumbfounded.

The three spirit bones bloomed with light simultaneously, enveloping Zhu Shen entirely, his aura climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tang Hao was stunned, muttering to himself, "Brother, who are you?"
