Left Arm Bone Soul Skill, Rampage Bear Pierce

In the center of the room, Ning An sat cross-legged atop a soft jade bed, his expression calm and composed.

He raised a hand and took out his storage soul tool. With a flash of light, the fifty-thousand-year Earth Rampage Bear left arm bone slowly floated before him.

The earthy yellow bone gleamed with flowing light, exuding an ancient, heavy, primordial aura. Fine yet profound natural patterns covered its surface, and every wisp of soul power leaking from it was mighty and domineering, far purer than that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul bone.

A fifty-thousand-year soul bone was a rare opportunity across the entire Douluo Continent.

Ning An's gaze sharpened slightly as his consciousness sank into his body.

At this moment, his soul power as a Rank 33 Soul Elder was dense and refined, far surpassing that of others at the same rank.

With his foundation, absorbing this Earth Rampage Bear left arm bone would be more than manageable.

Without the slightest hesitation, soul power surged from Ning An's brow, and a faint golden light glimmered around him.

Pure soul power slowly enveloped the entire soul bone, gently yet forcefully seeping into its bone patterns as he began absorbing it in an orderly manner.

The initial absorption process went incomparably smoothly.

A vast amount of warm, heavy soul power flowed through his meridians and spread throughout his limbs and body, washing over and nourishing his flesh, bones, meridians, and acupoints.

His already refined soul power was purified once more. The sea of soul power within his dantian grew increasingly full, while his physical strength steadily rose at a visible rate.

Yan Shaozhe, who stood guard at the side, watched quietly, his eyes filled with approval.

With such heaven-defying control over his martial soul and such temperament, none among Shrek's freshmen in the past century could compare.

"As expected of the final disciple Master has taken a liking to."

Yan Shaozhe sighed inwardly, placing even greater importance on this newly arrived junior brother.

But just as the absorption process had progressed past the halfway point—

Bzzzz—!

The entire Earth Rampage Bear left arm bone suddenly began to tremble violently!

The once gentle and docile soul power instantly turned savage and frenzied, mixed with the vicious remnant soul of the Earth Rampage Bear from before its death as it madly battered Ning An's body!

The violent shockwaves of soul power rampaged through his body, forcibly tearing apart the layer of soul power surrounding him. A primordial, brutal will charged straight toward his sea of consciousness, attempting to disrupt his mind.

There was not the slightest trace of panic in Ning An's eyes.

A mere soul bone dared to act so presumptuously before him?

"Behave."

In the next instant, Ning An stopped holding back. The full might of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear within him erupted.

Under the bloodline pressure of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, the previously rampaging remnant soul of the Earth Rampage Bear instantly became like a candle flame amid a raging storm, swaying violently as it steadily collapsed!

Its unwilling, roaring remnants of thought burst forth again and again, yet they had no power to resist.

Ning An's will remained firm as his soul power spread completely outward. The power of his twin martial souls circulated in tandem. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's pure supportive power reinforced his body and stabilized his foundation, while the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear martial soul forcefully suppressed and devoured it!

In only a few breaths, the remaining savage remnant soul was completely crushed.

The rest of the absorption proceeded without the slightest obstruction.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour went by in the blink of an eye.

Bzzzz—!

Light suddenly burst from Ning An's body before swiftly withdrawing back within him, returning everything to stillness.

The fifty-thousand-year Earth Rampage Bear left arm bone had been perfectly absorbed!

At the same time, information on a brand-new soul skill was imprinted clearly into Ning An's mind.

Left Arm Soul Bone Skill: Rampage Bear Pierce

Effect: Gather the savage power of the earth into the left arm, unleashing extreme piercing and impact force. Possesses both the heavy defense of the earth element and a berserk armor-piercing offensive.

Ning An slowly opened his eyes, and a profound glint passed through them.

His physical strength had surged once more, his resistance had increased greatly, and he had gained another trump card for close combat!

He slowly rose to his feet and stretched his limbs. The soul power flowing within him had become even smoother and more robust, while his aura was steady and restrained. He appeared utterly ordinary, yet his foundation was unfathomably deep.

Yan Shaozhe, who had watched the entire process, slowly nodded, a deeply satisfied smile appearing on his face.

From the soul bone's rampage to its forceful suppression, then to its perfect absorption, everything had flowed as smoothly as clouds and water.

This junior brother was incredible.

Yan Shaozhe stepped forward and reminded him in a gentle tone, "The freshmen's first class will be in two days. Make sure you aren't late."

"If you encounter any problems in the academy, you can come find me anytime."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Ning An gave a slight nod, his expression mild and calm.

"Then I won't disturb your rest and recovery."

Yan Shaozhe smiled faintly, withdrew the soul power barrier around them, then turned and slowly left the dormitory. He gently closed the door behind him, shutting out all sounds from the outside world.

The room became quiet once more.

Ning An stretched his body and was just about to sit cross-legged and meditate, consolidating the foundation of his newly strengthened body and soul power before properly resting and recuperating.

Just then, two light, familiar sets of footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a crisp knock.

Knock, knock, knock!

Two young figures were already standing outside the freshmen dormitory.

Outside the door, the two youths stood side by side.

The girl on the left stood tall and straight, with handsome, lively features. Dressed in an exquisite brocade robe, she exuded a bright and cheerful air. She was Ning Tian of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's main family.

At her side stood a slender girl with strikingly beautiful yet fiery features.

With her red hair, she looked like someone not to be trifled with.

She was Wu Feng, who had grown up alongside Ning An and Ning Tian since childhood.

A few months ago, Ning An had told Wu Feng to leave the sect and find a way to obtain a recommendation letter from a major city so she could enter Shrek Academy.

It seemed she had not let Ning An down.

Outside, Ning Tian impatiently raised her hand and knocked on the door again, her voice unable to hide her excitement and pride.

Inside, Ning An's gaze shifted slightly.

He opened the door.

The two outside immediately looked in, their eyes landing directly on the gentle, composed youth within.

Ning Tian promptly strode into the room, a brilliant smile on her face. She leaned proudly toward Ning An, her tone full of the pride of someone seeking credit.

"Brother! Guess how we found you so quickly?"

Ning An remained calm as he replied evenly, immediately identifying the key point. "The freshmen dormitory registration information is public. Any enrolled student can consult the registration list."

He had not connected it to the earth-shaking commotion from crushing Dai Yueheng on the fourth assessment stage earlier.

The assessment plaza had erupted into an uproar, with the entire crowd in a frenzy. However, most of the watching candidates had gathered around the outer perimeter and could not clearly see the people at the center of the stage.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng had arrived at Shrek earlier to complete their enrollment registration. They had not witnessed the duel on the assessment stage at all, so naturally they could not have recognized him through that incident.

Thus, the quickest and most direct method could only have been checking the freshmen registration information.

Hearing Ning An's perfectly accurate answer, Ning Tian froze on the spot. The smug smile on her face instantly stiffened, and she muttered with a helpless, tearless expression.

"Brother! Could you not be so smart? You're making me look stupid!"

Wu Feng's lips twitched slightly at the side.

Ning Tian scratched her head in frustration, then seemed to remember something important. She quickly turned sideways and shoved Wu Feng beside her in front of Ning An.

She winked at Ning An and said with a grin, "Forget about that! I need to tell you something important!"

"Wu Feng... she has something she wants to tell you herself!"
