Inside the room, everyone looked at the entire table piled with carrots and, for the first time, understood what it meant to be caught between laughter and tears.
More importantly, Xiao Wu was still proudly showing off her achievement.
Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo were both rendered speechless.
As expected of a hundred-thousand-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit that had taken human form—even after becoming human, she still could not shake her habit of loving carrots.
Eating carrots was one thing, but couldn't she at least cook them first?!
They were all raw. How were they supposed to eat them?
Sea Maiden Douluo suggested, "Holy Son, how about I go out to the street and see what else there is to eat?"
Huang Long merely shook his head with a wry smile. "Forget it. Don't waste her good intentions."
As he spoke, he picked up a carrot and took a small bite.
Surprisingly, although it was raw, it was crisp and slightly sweet.
When Xiao Wu saw that Huang Long approved of the carrots she had prepared, she was so happy she could not close her mouth, already planning to buy more carrots tomorrow.
But the moment she suggested it, Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Maiden Douluo, Bear Lord, Red King, and the others immediately rejected the idea.
Whether Huang Long was human or the reincarnation of the Dragon God, who had ever heard of one eating carrots?
Xiao Wu, however, did not understand.
Carrots were so delicious. Why couldn't Lord Dragon God eat them?
All that could be said was that a rabbit's way of thinking truly differed from that of normal people... or normal soul beasts.
Huang Long waved a hand and chuckled. "Eating carrots once is enough. We can have them again whenever we feel like it."
As he spoke, he turned to Sea Dragon Douluo and Di Tian. "I need to fuse with that soul bone immediately. I'll have to trouble you two to stand guard for me."
Sea Dragon Douluo and Di Tian nodded slightly and replied in unison, "Please rest assured, Holy Son (Lord Dragon God)."
Afterward, everyone cleared out a spacious and clean area for Huang Long.
Bear Lord and Xiao Wu were the only ones who remained.
Di Tian, Red King, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Sea Maiden Douluo all left the room and spread out to the four corners of the courtyard, keeping watch at all times.
Inside the room, Huang Long took out the black lead box containing the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.
The instant the box opened, blue-gold light flooded the entire room.
Dense life energy spread through the air.
Xiao Wu merely took a light breath and felt her body grow warm, as though she were soaking in hot water.
As she watched Huang Long hold that crystalline soul bone in his hands, she could not help thinking that if she were ever hunted down by a powerful human, her soul bone would probably look like that as well.
Fortunately, Di Tian, Bear Lord, and the others had come out with her this time.
And they had encountered Lord Dragon God.
Moreover, judging by Lord Dragon God's attitude toward her just now, he was not one of those humans who wanted her soul ring and soul bone.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Long looked at the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone in his hand.
He had just released his soul power and brought it into contact with the soul bone's energy.
The next second.
"Whoosh—!"
The soul bone trembled slightly, then erupted with dazzling blue-gold light and flew from his hand.
Huang Long raised his head, frowning tightly as he stared at the soul bone.
He thought the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone was resisting his absorption, which was why it had flown up.
However, just as he reached out to grab it, the soul bone slowly descended and voluntarily pressed itself against his right leg.
With a soft "buzz,"
a faint hum rang out.
Huang Long felt his right leg tremble slightly, followed by a cool aura that seeped into his body from all directions.
The crystalline blue-gold soul bone then transformed into countless strands of blue-gold energy that coiled around his right leg.
The entire process was the same as when he absorbed a soul ring.
There was no pain whatsoever—only an endless sense of comfort flooding his heart.
Moreover, during the fusion process, the soul bone's energy continuously strengthened his physical body and bones.
The strengthened bones continuously emitted crisp crackling sounds like firecrackers.
Although his soul power did not improve noticeably, the soul bone's special pull made it increasingly pure.
And within his dantian, a small sphere of light had already formed.
When Huang Long noticed the change in his dantian, he was secretly delighted.
His soul power underwent another qualitative transformation, becoming even purer.
It seemed he no longer needed to wait until the Rank 70 Soul Sage stage to condense a soul core.
Once he reached Rank 60, as long as his spiritual power was strong enough, he could condense a soul core.
Therefore, the trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well needed to be hastened.
There was an Autumn Dew there that could enhance spiritual power.
Once he consumed it, his spiritual power would undergo another transformation as well. At that point, condensing a soul core would be within reach.
As time passed little by little.
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone had completely fused with his right leg, blooming with blue-gold light at that spot.
"Success!" The moment Bear Lord saw the blue-gold radiance, he knew that Lord Dragon God had successfully fused with the soul bone.
Huang Long slowly opened his eyes and nodded with a smile. "Success!"
"Congratulations, Lord Dragon God!"
With a grin, Xiao Wu offered him another carrot. "Lord Dragon God, would you like a carrot to celebrate?"
At the sight of that carrot, the smile on Huang Long's face immediately froze. He hurriedly waved his hand.
"Not for now. I'm not hungry yet!"
Xiao Wu could only respond with an "Oh," then put the carrot into her mouth and bit down with a crunch.
Seeing how blissfully she ate, Huang Long smiled helplessly.
He turned to Bear Lord. "Old Bear, please call everyone back. Since I've succeeded in fusing it, there's no need for them to keep watch."
"Got it! Old Bear will go right now!"
Bear Lord grinned and strode out in great strides.
In less than ten breaths, he returned with Di Tian, Red King, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Sea Maiden Douluo.
The instant Sea Maiden Douluo entered the room, she rushed to Huang Long's side.
"Holy Son, how do you feel? Does anywhere hurt badly?"
Although she knew Huang Long's martial soul was extraordinary and that he had always absorbed soul rings with unbelievable ease.
This time, however, he had absorbed a soul bone!
She could not be certain whether absorbing a soul bone would be different from absorbing a soul ring for Huang Long.
Huang Long shook his head with a smile. "It doesn't hurt. Sister Sea Maiden, have you forgotten? I've never felt pain when absorbing soul rings."
Only then did Sea Maiden Douluo finally relax.
"If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell your sister."
After she finished speaking, Sea Dragon Douluo stepped forward as well and asked curiously, "Holy Son, what abilities did this hundred-thousand-year soul bone grant you?"
At those words, Di Tian, Bear Lord, Red King, and Xiao Wu—all four soul beasts—also gathered around curiously.
Huang Long lowered his head and glanced at his right leg. "Uncle Sea Dragon, this hundred-thousand-year soul bone granted me two abilities."
"One soul skill is called Spring Breeze Brings New Life. It's a recovery skill."
"No matter how severe my injuries are, as long as they aren't instantly fatal, it can rapidly repair my body and heal my wounds. Even regrowing severed limbs only takes a few breaths."
"The other soul skill is called Flight."
"As the name suggests, it allows me to fly through the air without using a soul skill, and at extremely high speed."
As soon as he finished speaking, both Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo sucked in a sharp breath.
They finally understood why Huang Long had been so determined to obtain this soul bone!
