Spirit Kite Douluo: I Don't Want to Bother With Them!

However, the speed at which Spirit Kite Douluo picked up a piece of "Thousand-Tribulation Nirvana Feather Pastry" and popped it into her mouth was faster than before.

It was as if only food could save her from the world that had completely collapsed around her.

Meanwhile, Demon Bear Douluo, kneeling stiffly on the ground, could not spare a thought for the gazes of others.

His mind was already occupied by a cold and desperate fact.

External spirit bone!

The ecstasy brought by those three words was being ruthlessly extinguished by another ironclad rule.

To absorb an external spirit bone, one must use a spirit ring from the same species of spirit beast as a catalyst!

Yet, in all his life, had he, Demon Bear, ever hunted a legendary existence such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?

In an instant, he had fallen from heaven to hell.

Endless ecstasy transformed into a deeper, more absurd sense of despair.

It was as if a mortal had prayed to the gods for a lifetime, and when the gods finally bestowed a peerless divine artifact, they told him the key to activating it lay on the other side of the world.

How ironic!

How cruel!

His bear-like eyes stared fixedly at the dark golden spirit bone hovering before him, bloodshot and wide, his burly frame trembling violently from the immense sense of loss.

"Senior..."

Demon Bear Douluo raised his head with difficulty, his voice as hoarse as a broken bellows, every word dripping with agonizing despair.

"This... this external spirit bone, this junior... cannot absorb it..."

He had used every ounce of his strength just to utter these heartbreaking words.

Lin Feng, who had almost been amused by the comical scene Spirit Kite Douluo had just made, pulled his wandering thoughts back because of this statement.

He certainly knew what Demon Bear Douluo was suffering over.

In fact, from the moment he drew this spirit bone from the system, he had anticipated this scene.

Lin Feng did not even look at Demon Bear Douluo's desperate face; he simply extended a finger and tapped casually and lightly at the spirit bone, which was radiating endless sharpness.

It was as if he were merely brushing away a speck of insignificant dust.

Hum—!

In an instant, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Arm Bone erupted with a blinding light, transforming into a savage and overbearing stream of dark golden radiance!

It gave no one time to react!

Nor did it follow any of the established rules of this world!

"Splurt!"

That stream of light ignored the barrier of flesh and blood, and ignored the so-called ironclad rule of spirit bone absorption, as it forcefully, unreasonably, and directly slammed into Demon Bear Douluo's right arm!

Seeing this, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo in the corner gripped each other's hands tightly, their eyes filled with shock and fanaticism.

Forced fusion!

This was not a method a mortal could possess! This was a miracle!

They were so envious their eyes turned red!

An external spirit bone! That was a supreme treasure with a value no less than a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone!

Why! Why wasn't it me!

As for Tuoba Xi, after witnessing this miraculous scene, his body jolted violently!

He turned his head stiffly, inch by inch, and a brilliance never seen before erupted from his aged dragon-like eyes, locking firmly onto Hu Liena and the others!

There was no longer a trace of elder-like kindness or gentleness in that gaze.

Replacing it was shock, ecstasy, and a gratitude that welled up from the depths of his soul!

He had never imagined that the great opportunity he had never dared to hope for in his entire life would be so easily... presented to him by these three children!

How could these be mere juniors?

They were clearly his benefactors, who had dragged him out of the desperate situation where his cultivation had been stagnant for so long!

A long time passed.

He finally let out a long, long breath, as if to exhale the wasted time and confusion of half a lifetime.

"You three children..."

He reached out his calloused hand, large enough to crush mountain rock, and gently, with immense reverence, patted Xie Yue on the shoulder.

"This debt of gratitude, this old man... fears I will never be able to repay it in this lifetime."

Regardless of Tuoba Xi's reaction, after Spirit Kite Douluo had experienced her moment of social death and witnessed the miraculous forced fusion of the external spirit bone, she... lowered her head once again.

She picked up the plate of "Thousand-Tribulation Nirvana Feather Pastry," parted her red lips, and took a massive bite.

Spirit bone? Opportunity?

Wait until I've finished eating!

Until I completely forget about this, I don't want to speak to any of them!

On the other side, Demon Bear Douluo finally came to his senses, subconsciously clenching his right fist.

An unprecedented, explosive power that felt as if it could tear the heavens apart surged instantly from his palm!

That Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear external spirit bone had fused perfectly with his arm, becoming one, as if it had been meant to grow there all along!

A miracle!

This damn thing was a miracle!

The next second.

Bang!

A dull thud echoed out.

Demon Bear Douluo, a brute known for his stubborn nature, now prostrated himself completely, kowtowing to Lin Feng with absolute, rock-solid sincerity!

"Senior, your grace in remaking me... Demon Bear has no way to repay you in this lifetime!"

His voice was hoarse and trembling, yet carried an unquestionable resolve.

"From this day forward, whenever Senior has a command, this life of mine belongs to you!"

However, faced with a pledge of loyalty that would move any emperor, Lin Feng didn't even lift an eyelid.

"It is not a favor."

Lin Feng's voice was as calm as water, devoid of any emotional ripple, yet it echoed in everyone's heart like a supreme decree.

"That you drew it was your luck; that you fused it into your body is my rule."

"Nothing more."

Demon Bear Douluo shuddered, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Lin Feng shifting from fanatical worship to the absolute awe one feels toward a god.

He understood.

In the eyes of this Senior, his life was utterly worthless.

The only thing of value was adhering to the rules he had set!

On the other side, having witnessed all of this, Tuoba Xi was already so stirred that he could no longer sit still.

He stood up slowly and straightened his robes.

The face of this Holy Dragon Douluo no longer held a shred of his usual kindness and gentleness.

Replacing it was a resolve to burn his bridges, an absolute determination to stake his entire life's cultivation and honor on this moment!

He bowed deeply and solemnly toward Lin Feng, his posture far more respectful than any other being he had ever seen.

"Junior Tuoba Xi greets Senior!"

Lin Feng gave a faint "Mn" in response.

Tuoba Xi straightened up slowly and took a deep breath, a long-extinguished flame igniting within his aged dragon eyes!

He had not come here to eat!

He had come to seek the Dao!

To seek a path to the heavens that could break the stagnation of his cultivation, which had been frozen for over a decade!

"Junior dares to be bold and would like to order three dishes!"

His voice was no longer a request, but a declaration filled with endless longing!

"Golden Dragon Whisker Noodles!"

"Holy Light Qilin Arm!"

"And a pot of... Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Brew!"

"I trouble Senior to grant this!"
