Two days later.
Inside the cave behind the waterfall.
Xiao Chenyu sat cross-legged on the cold rock, his body shrouded in a layer of pale blue halo.
The light was soft and gentle, as if a pool of clear spring water were flowing slowly through his body.
He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long, turbid breath.
That breath actually carried faint blue specks of light, which flickered in the air a few times before slowly dissipating.
The 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had been completely fused!
He sensed the surging soul power within his body, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward wildly.
Level sixteen!
Of course, the increase in soul power was merely a bonus that came with this spirit bone.
The primary function of this spirit bone itself was to enhance physical fitness.
And most importantly, the two spirit bone skills provided by this 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor were exactly the same as those Tang San possessed in the original work.
The names hadn't changed, the functions hadn't changed, but experiencing them personally was an entirely different kind of shock.
First Spirit Bone Skill—Flight.
Without the need to consume soul power or rely on a martial soul, it granted the ability to fly, hover, and accelerate purely through the spirit bone.
In this era of the Douluo Continent where even flying soul guidance devices had yet to be invented, possessing the ability to fly meant directly raising one's survival rate by several tiers.
If you couldn't win, you ran; if you couldn't outrun them, you flew; if you couldn't outfly them, you accelerated.
Second Spirit Bone Skill—Wildfire Cannot Destroy, Spring Breeze Brings Life Again.
A passive healing spirit skill that enhanced the body's self-healing capabilities, allowing for rapid recovery after severe injuries, and even the regeneration of severed limbs.
Xiao Chenyu raised his right hand.
"Shh!"
He unsheathed his wolf claws.
He hesitated for a moment, then sliced a small cut on his finger.
"Hiss—"
It still hurt.
But the next second, a faint blue light shimmered over the wound, and it healed as good as new in the blink of an eye.
Not even a scar remained, as if the wound had never existed.
"Hiss—"
This intake of breath was much louder than the last.
Xiao Chenyu was somewhat shocked.
And that was just a small cut.
According to the description of the spirit bone skill, even in the case of severe injuries like severed limbs, this passive regeneration skill could repair them in a very short time.
Combined with the life attribute bonus of the Life God Spider Emperor martial soul, the recovery effect would likely double.
"Lord Bear, come at me all you want."
Xiao Chenyu looked down at his perfectly healed finger and nodded with satisfaction.
"I'm a cockroach now, the kind that can't be squashed!"
[Goddess of Life]: Chenyu, sense whether your Life God Spider Emperor martial soul has awakened a talent spirit skill after fusing with the life essence of the Blue Silver Emperor.
"A talent spirit skill?"
Xiao Chenyu was stunned.
The Goddess of Life had indeed mentioned before that after fusing with the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, his Life God Spider Emperor had a chance to awaken a talent spirit skill.
He had been so preoccupied with the joy of the spirit bone that he had almost forgotten about this.
He immediately closed his eyes and calmed his mind to sense it carefully.
The emerald-green phantom of the Life God Spider Emperor slowly emerged behind him.
Eight spider spears stretched out elegantly, and the life flower patterns on its back were more vivid and bright than before, as if they had been injected with new vitality.
The tiny life flowers at the tips of the spider spears were also fuller than before, with a faint blue-gold luster flowing over the petals.
And at the very core of the martial soul phantom, he sensed a brand-new ability.
Something that had never existed before was quietly floating there, waiting to be awakened.
"There really is one!"
Xiao Chenyu snapped his eyes open, his expression turning somewhat strange.
"It's called the 'Heart of Blue Silver'."
"Its effect is to significantly increase my affinity with the Blue Silver clan, granting me the ability to establish connections and communicate with them, and even directly control Blue Silver Grass."
He found it incredible himself.
The innate soul skill of the Life God Spider Emperor was actually related to Blue Silver Grass?
A spider-type martial soul had awakened the ability to control plants.
What kind of bizarre cross-species chemical reaction was this?
Was the power of life really so indifferent to compatibility?
[Goddess of Life]: This is normal, no need to be surprised.
[Goddess of Life]: You fused with the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and the Blue Silver Emperor's primordial life force resonated deeply with the Life God Spider Emperor.
[Goddess of Life]: During the growth process of a martial soul, the initial form of an innate soul skill will naturally lean toward the power with the strongest resonance.
[Goddess of Life]: However, you must remember that innate soul skills are different from ordinary soul skills; they can evolve.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Evolve?
[Goddess of Life]: Correct. The Life God Spider Emperor's innate soul skill will continue to grow as you master the power of life.
[Goddess of Life]: The "Heart of Blue Silver" you have awakened now is merely its initial form. As for the extent to which it can eventually evolve, that will depend on your own opportunities and efforts.
"An evolvable soul skill..."
A surge of anticipation welled up in Xiao Chenyu's heart.
Controlling Blue Silver Grass.
If taken in isolation, this ability seemed unremarkable.
Blue Silver Grass was everywhere on the Douluo Continent; Wildfire Cannot Destroy, Spring Breeze Brings Life Anew—it was the most common plant imaginable.
Being able to control it sounded as trivial as being able to control the air; it was no big deal.
But when combined with the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone he had intercepted from Tang Hao, the significance was entirely different.
One had to remember that Tang San's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass.
To be precise, it was Blue Silver Grass before the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
If he could control the power of the Blue Silver clan and even gain the recognition of the Blue Silver Grass, Then in the future, wouldn't Tang San have to kneel and sing "Conquest" to him, even in the very field he was most proud of?
"Heh heh."
Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but chuckle out loud.
The image was so beautiful he almost didn't dare to dwell on it.
He stood up and stretched his limbs.
His gaze fell on the stone box split in two at his feet, and he suddenly thought of a very practical question.
[Xiao Chenyu]: By the way, will Tang Hao discover the soul bone was stolen? Will he follow the clues and find me?
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Unlikely in the short term. Ever since he hid the soul bone here, he hasn't visited much.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Besides, the effect of the Concealment Mark lasts for another three years. Unless some accident occurs, Tang Hao won't even think about this soul bone.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: And even if he did come one day and found it missing, he would only pin the blame on Spirit Hall!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Given his deep-seated blood feud with Spirit Hall, his first reaction would definitely be, "Spirit Hall did this!" ๑ᵒᯅᵒ๑
[Goddess of Life]: That makes sense. Tang Hao's hatred for Spirit Hall is deep-rooted; he will always suspect Spirit Hall first for any bad deed. It's a natural umbrella.
[Human-Faced Demon Spider]: Tang Hao is stupid! Tang Hao is slow! Tang Hao won't find it!
Xiao Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
He didn't want Tang Hao to come charging into Nuoding City with his Clear Sky Hammer the moment he got his hands on the soul bone.
Although he now possessed twin martial souls and a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, Facing a rank-95 Title Douluo, he would still be as fragile as paper.
He packed his things, ready to leave.
Yet, his gaze involuntarily drifted back to the deepest part of the cave.
That wilted stalk of Blue Silver Grass was still there.
Its leaves drooped, the grey-blue luster dim as if covered in a layer of dust.
The slender stem stood barely upright, appearing exceptionally lonely in the gloomy valley.
But this time, Xiao Chenyu felt something different.
It was as if... there was some kind of sound?
