When Bibi Dong saw this, she rubbed Song Ye's little head even more dotingly.
Only with her son in her arms could she continue to feel this warmth.
Bibi Dong reminded him, "Ye'er, absorb the soul bone first."
"Mother didn't actually lie to you. Mother took an oath, so I had someone else retrieve it for me."
"Don't worry, Mother has always remembered what you said."
"So that's how it was..."
Even so, Song Ye was still deeply moved.
He picked up the soul bone again, gazing at it with great excitement.
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone—there are only a few of these in the entire Douluo Continent."
"With this soul bone empowering me, my rise in the future will surely be even faster!"
Song Ye was not someone who liked to dawdle. Since the soul bone had already been delivered, he could not let it go to waste.
Thus, with Bibi Dong personally standing guard nearby, the two returned to their room, and Song Ye began the lengthy process of absorbing the soul bone.
The Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone represented the Blue Silver Emperor's abundant life force. This soul bone was not difficult to absorb, as its energy was exceptionally balanced, benevolent, and gentle.
Throughout the absorption process, a pale blue radiance continuously glimmered around Song Ye's body. It was the unique life force contained within the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone.
Bibi Dong guarded him from nearby. Fearing that something might go wrong with Song Ye, she even used her own Soul Power to stabilize the state of Soul Power within his body.
With their efforts combined, Song Ye finished absorbing the soul bone in just one hour.
"Phew..."
As Song Ye exhaled, the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone's energy completely fused into his body.
Afterward, Song Ye sprang to his feet, looking full of vigor as he cried excitedly,
"Mother, I've successfully reached level 20!"
"And based on the ability granted by my first Soul Ring, I can now produce this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone too!"
"What? You can produce this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone as well?"
Bibi Dong had initially only been excited that her child had laid such a solid foundation, but she had not expected such wonderful news.
If Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones could truly be mass-produced, would that not allow them to cultivate a great number of geniuses fully equipped with soul bones in the future?
Even Bibi Dong was extraordinarily envious when she saw such an ability.
"Ye'er, your Prosperous Country and Strong Army ability simply makes you a born leader!"
"Once you have your own followers in the future, if you distribute the soul bones and Whale Rubber you produce, wouldn't you be able to create an invincible army for yourself?!"
Bibi Dong drew a sharp breath as she stared at Song Ye. The longer she looked, the more astonishing she found her child.
She also asked, "Then, Ye'er, how long will it take for you to produce this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone with Prosperous Country and Strong Army?"
Song Ye smiled. "At present, it will take ten months to produce one."
"But based on my judgment, if I can obtain my second Soul Ring now and reach two rings, producing this soul bone will take only nine months."
"Nine months is still quite a long time, but being able to produce it at all is already the best outcome."
Bibi Dong sighed. "The more Soul Rings you gain in the future, the higher your production efficiency will be!"
"If you obtain your ninth ring, even in the worst case, you'll need only one or two months to produce a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"
"Simply revealing this ability would cause turmoil across the entire continent!"
"If others learn of it, they will certainly capture you and treat you as a soul bone factory. Ye'er, you must never reveal this ability in the future."
"Even if you produce soul bones for others, you cannot tell them that you made them yourself!!"
More than anyone else, Bibi Dong cared about her son's life. She did not need soul bones; she only needed Song Ye.
Song Ye nodded solemnly as well.
"Mother, I understand. A man is innocent, but he becomes guilty for possessing a treasure."
"How fitting. This Imperial Seal of mine is said to have been made from a jade disc..."
"Now that I've reached level 20, Mother, we need to continue hunting Soul Beasts to obtain my second Soul Ring."
"I have a feeling that the ability brought by my second Soul Ring will be one of the keys to gathering followers in the future!"
"Good. Mother will go with you now."
Bibi Dong understood immediately and promptly took Song Ye to the Star Dou Great Forest.
As for Ah Yin, whom she had brought along this time, she temporarily left her in the room and planned to explain her presence to Song Ye later.
For his second ring, Song Ye chose a Soul Beast that was at least four thousand years old.
There was no question about the strength of his body. He had also consumed Thirty-Thousand-Year Whale Glue to strengthen himself tremendously, on top of the physical enhancement granted by the soul bone.
If his spiritual power had been sufficient and he had not been so young, Song Ye could even have tried absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Bibi Dong herself was a top-tier Title Douluo, so hunting a Thousand-Year Soul Beast was equally easy for her. She did not even need to summon her Martial Soul.
In the end, the two chose a six-thousand-year-old monkey Soul Beast specializing in spiritual power. Song Ye took nearly two hours to finish absorbing it.
By the time he finished, it was already afternoon.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Bibi Dong took out dry rations and water, feeding Song Ye one bite at a time.
"Ye'er, this six-thousand-year Soul Beast was indeed rather difficult to absorb. Although your physique is strong enough, you are still young and not fully developed."
Bibi Dong comforted him, "Fortunately, you still absorbed it successfully."
"What level are you at now, Ye'er?"
Because the Soul Ring absorption had been so difficult and had lasted nearly four hours, Song Ye weakly ate as he replied,
"Mother, it was fortunate that you were here."
"My Soul Power Level has now reached level 25. The Soul Power from this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and the six-thousand-year Soul Ring directly allowed me to rise eight levels!"
"After all, my base level is still low, so this degree of enhancement is normal."
Bibi Dong looked at Song Ye with heartache. "Sigh, Mother only wants you to be safe. It would be fine even if your progress were slower."
"Then what is your second Soul Skill like?"
Song Ye took a bite of the roasted chicken they had purchased beforehand, drank some water, and only then regained part of his strength.
He explained in detail,
"My second Soul Skill is called Reward and Punishment, and it also has two parts."
"One part is the ability granted to me by the Soul Skill itself, while the other is the sovereign ability activated through the Imperial Seal."
"First, using my second Soul Skill will continue to enhance my spiritual power by 50%, and it can inflict continuous spiritual interference on enemies."
"But the key is Reward and Punishment's innate ability. So long as I reward someone, it will increase their respect and gratitude toward me. If I punish someone, it will increase their fear of me!"
"As long as their level of respect or fear reaches a certain threshold, they will naturally submit to me!"
"That is why I said, Mother, this second Soul Skill may be an important ability for me to recruit followers in the future!"
"So long as their respect or fear reaches a certain level, they will naturally submit!"
After hearing this, Bibi Dong drew another sharp breath. Even she desperately wanted such an ability.
Just as Song Ye had said, this second Soul Skill was of utmost importance.
Bibi Dong was even more delighted.
"Ye'er, setting everything else aside, these two Soul Skills alone are enough for you to stand at the pinnacle of Douluo!"
"One is responsible for producing resources and cultivating forces, while the other uses those resources to win those forces over!"
"They complement and reinforce each other. Unifying the Douluo Continent in the future will be within reach!!"
