[Xiao Chenyu]: Enough talk. Do you know the exact location of that Soul Bone? [Will of Douluo Planet]: Of course I do! Who do you think I am? |･з･) [Xiao Chenyu]: Who? Jack the boat king? [Will of Douluo Planet]: No!!! (o｀ε´o)
Xiao Chenyu's lips curled. For once, he'd gotten the better of the Will of Douluo Planet.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Hmph! I'm magnanimous, so I won't hold it against you. [Will of Douluo Planet]: I'll support the Avenger in stealing the Soul Bone! And while you're at it, you can steal his wife and beat up his kid! [Xiao Chenyu]: ...
Xiao Chenyu couldn't even be bothered to comment on the Will of Douluo Planet's knowledge anymore.
What on earth did this one spend all day watching?
She could say things like "steal his wife and beat up his kid" so casually. It seemed Tang San had really gotten on her bad side.
But jokes aside, he immediately thought of an important question.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Wait. That Soul Bone is hidden near Holy Soul Village. What about Tang Hao? [Xiao Chenyu]: Tang Hao might be a depressed old drunk now, but he's still a bona fide Rank 95 Titled Douluo. [Xiao Chenyu]: If I sneak into the back hills behind his house to steal something, are you sure he won't sense me? [Will of Douluo Planet]: Hahahahaha! [Will of Douluo Planet]: Avenger, have you forgotten what you're carrying? (≧▽≦)ﾉ [Will of Douluo Planet]: The Concealment Mark! The Concealment Mark! The Concealment Mark! Important things must be said three times!
Xiao Chenyu blinked.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: The Concealment Mark keeps Tang Hao from noticing you and anything happening around you, and it also conceals any hostility he might feel toward you! [Will of Douluo Planet]: It doesn't just stop him from hitting you. It blocks his awareness of anything you do. [Will of Douluo Planet]: Even if you stood right in front of Tang Hao and danced Gokuraku Jodo, he'd just think you were some passing brat throwing a fit. [Will of Douluo Planet]: Stealing the Soul Bone would be even easier. He wouldn't even notice that anyone had entered that valley. [Will of Douluo Planet]: The Concealment Mark is GOAT!
"I see."
Xiao Chenyu slowly nodded, the corners of his mouth rising beyond his control.
The Concealment Mark's effects were even more outrageous than he'd imagined.
[Xiao Chenyu]: So, even if I went to beat Tang San to a pulp right in front of Tang Hao, he wouldn't stop me? [Will of Douluo Planet]: In theory, yes~ The Concealment Mark won't wear off as long as you don't attack Tang Hao himself. [Will of Douluo Planet]: Of course, that's assuming you can beat Tang San as he is now. [Will of Douluo Planet]: He may only be six, but don't forget he was born carrying the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. [Will of Douluo Planet]: A little tip: he's got a handwritten copy of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record tucked right against his body. [Man Faced Demon Spider]: Beat up Tang San! Now! Right now! Let's go! [Xiao Chenyu]: Hold on. One thing at a time. You eat a meal one bite at a time, and you seize opportunities one at a time. [Xiao Chenyu]: The Soul Bone comes first.
That was the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. Getting his hands on it would give him another shot at life.
He could take his time plotting how to beat up Tang San after he got the Soul Bone.
Just as Xiao Chenyu was laying out a "Holy Soul Village home-invasion operation map" in his mind, a new message popped up in the Chat Group.
[Goddess of Life]: Chen Yu, don't rush into action just yet. There's something else I want to tell you. [Xiao Chenyu]: Please, Godmother. I'm listening. [Goddess of Life]: I recommend you take that Soul Bone for more than just its life-saving ability. Staying alive is certainly important, but it isn't the main reason. [Goddess of Life]: More importantly, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone contains the immense vitality of a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor. [Goddess of Life]: It holds life essence accumulated over a hundred thousand years. It's a miraculous healing treasure to ordinary people, but its significance to you goes far beyond that. [Goddess of Life]: Your Life God Spider Emperor Martial Soul is of exceptionally high quality, already among the highest tier of Beast Martial Souls, but it lacks nourishment from a source of life. [Goddess of Life]: It's like a delicate vase filled with nothing but ordinary spring water. [Goddess of Life]: If you can absorb the vitality in this Soul Bone, the life origin of your Second Martial Soul will undergo a qualitative improvement. You may even awaken a natural Soul Skill. [God of Destruction]: Xiao Lu is right. [God of Destruction]: Besides, your Destruction Demon Wolf King already has a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, but your Life God Spider Emperor is still in its newly awakened state, with no substantial improvement at all. [God of Destruction]: Destruction and life are opposing, contradictory forces. If one is neglected for too long, the power of destruction will gradually suppress the power of life. If the two forces lose their balance, it will greatly hinder your future development.
Xiao Chenyu read his godparents' messages and silently nodded.
Naturally, he couldn't guess the deeper reason.
Ordinary Twin Martial Soul cultivators wouldn't have this kind of problem with "the imbalance between two forces."
That was because ordinary people didn't happen to have two Martial Souls embodying the completely opposite forces of destruction and life.
But the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had their own motives.
They hoped his two powers would develop in balance, advancing side by side across different dimensions.
That way, in the future, he might be able to inherit both the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life's divine positions.
He might even achieve a fusion of the laws of creation.
In short, his godparents were paving the way for him—a road leading to dual God Kings.
Xiao Chenyu drew a deep breath.
"Originally, I just wanted a trump card to save my life."
"But now it looks like this Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone isn't just a lifeline. It's also the key to improving the Life God Spider Emperor beyond Soul Rings."
One stone, two birds.
Twice the joy.
What did you call that?
Riding a bicycle to the bar—save where you should, spend where you should, and don't miss out on a single opportunity that's yours for the taking.
[Xiao Chenyu]: @Everyone, the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone is mine. Even Tang Hao can't stop me. I said it! [Man Faced Demon Spider]: A real man! Let's fight! A real man! Let's fight! [Will of Douluo Planet]: Charge, Avenger! Go, go, go! [Goddess of Life]: Xiao Zi, shouldn't we give the child a little encouragement, too? [God of Destruction]: ... [God of Destruction]: Don't die. [Xiao Chenyu]: Godfather, that's certainly... a unique way to encourage someone. [Goddess of Life]: Pfft, that's just how Xiao Zi is. Chen Yu, what he means is, "Make sure you come back safe and sound." [Xiao Chenyu]: Understood!
Xiao Chenyu grinned, showing a full set of white teeth.
What did it mean to be all bark and no bite?
The Destruction God King was giving him a personal demonstration!
As a man of action, he had no intention of wasting a second.
If he said he was going to steal a Soul Bone, then he had to get moving right away!
Xiao Chenyu strode toward Xiao Chengkun's study.
After all, he was going on a long trip. He still had to tell his father.
