The 70,000-year Azure-Scaled Giant Python was cleanly sliced into nine sections by ice swords spat out by nine Ice Snakes, crashing heavily onto the swamp ice surface frozen by the Ultimate Ice.
The wounds were as smooth as mirrors.
Before the blood could even seep out, it had been frozen into bloody frost by the extreme cold.
"What an overbearing ice element!"
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
She saw very clearly that the layer of azure scales on the Azure-Scaled Giant Python, which rivaled divine iron, was like paper before the attacks of these nine Ice Snakes.
This terrifying cutting and erosive power was definitely not an ice element destructive force that an ordinary Soul Grandmaster could possess!
"Xian'er, the power of your second soul skill far exceeds expectations." She Long was quite gratified.
It wasn't just them; even She Xian himself was shocked by Little White's move.
He thought to himself: Little White, isn't your spell output a bit too fierce?
Little White's soft and tender voice responded with a hint of shyness: "This water condensing into ice, and ice gathering into swords, is the spell I am most proficient in."
"Useless." The arrogant and cold voice of the Medusa Queen followed, carrying undisguised disdain.
"What is there to be proud of in shredding a mere 70,000-year mongrel snake?"
"If I were to act, I wouldn't even leave behind residue."
Little White hummed aggrievedly: "Sister is bullying me again..."
Hearing the two martial souls in his body begin their daily bickering, the corners of She Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly withdrew his focus.
At this moment, a 70,000-year soul ring hovered above the massive remains of the Azure-Scaled Giant Python.
However, everyone present didn't even spare it a second glance.
Because absolutely no one needed to absorb it.
Compared to this useless soul ring, what was more attractive was the thing hidden inside the giant snake's corpse.
"Quick! See if it dropped!"
Elder Ci Xue let out a strange cry, rushing to the side of the giant snake's remains to rummage through them in a flash.
She Long and Dugu Bo were not to be outdone.
The three Titled Douluo, who shook the continent, were now squatting beside the frozen snake corpse without any image, reaching in and frantically digging like three scavengers searching for treasure in a trash heap.
Qian Renxue turned her head to look at the young man beside her: "Xian'er, did your talent really activate?"
"Don't worry, Teacher."
"My White Snake Bearing Ganoderma talent has entered its cooldown period."
"I won't be able to use this move again for the next entire year."
She Xian could be certain that Little White's talent had taken effect.
But he was also very anxious, unable to determine if a soul bone had truly dropped.
Just then, She Long erupted with thunderous, wild laughter!
"Hahaha! It's here! It really is!"
She Long's old face was flushed red, his hands holding an object emitting a cyan luster.
It was a skeleton that was crystal clear throughout, as if carved from green jade!
"A Torso Bone? It's actually a Torso Bone!" Ci Xue's eyes turned red with jealousy.
That was a 70,000-year Torso Bone!
Dugu Bo stood frozen in place, his mind roaring.
It really dropped!
A 70,000-year-level Azure-Scaled Giant Python Torso Bone!
If news of this thing were released, it would be enough to ignite a scramble among all the top powers on the continent.
"Just what kind of monster is this little master!"
The look in Dugu Bo's eyes as he watched She Xian was as if he were looking at an anomaly that existed outside the theories of soul masters on the continent.
"Xian'er! Take it! Take it quickly!"
She Long flashed to She Xian's side, his hands trembling as he handed over the priceless Torso Bone, urging: "While it's still fresh, hurry up and fuse it!"
"With this 70,000-year Torso Bone to protect you, your physique could increase several times over!"
The eyes of everyone on the scene were instantly focused on She Xian.
Although the soul bone was highly attractive to Ci Xue and Dugu Bo, neither of them had, nor dared to have, any ulterior motives.
However,
Faced with this supreme treasure that could make a Titled Douluo risk their life, She Xian only raised an eyebrow.
Then, to the stunned gaze of everyone, he retreated a step with a look of extreme distaste.
He waved his hand, revealing a look of rejection: "Forget it, Grandfather, I don't want this soul bone. You should fuse it instead."
"Huh?"
What did he say?
Ci Xue rubbed his ears, suspecting he had misheard.
Dugu Bo opened his mouth wide, his chin nearly hitting the ground.
Even Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, astonishment flashing in her noble and cold phoenix eyes.
This kid... actually rejected a 70,000-year Torso Bone?
"Xian'er, was your brain kicked by a snake tail?"
She Long stomped his feet in anxiety, his old face twisted: "This is a 70,000-year Torso Bone!"
"Many Titled Douluo don't even see a single ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone in their entire lives, and you actually disdain this top-grade soul bone!"
Faced with everyone's suspicion, She Xian felt bitter inside.
He couldn't very well say that in the fanfiction he read in his past life, the protagonists all started with a full set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
A mere 70,000-year Torso Bone, in his eyes, was a bit "not up to the protagonist's style," right?
If he said that, he might be beaten up as a lunatic.
She Xian coughed twice and immediately put on a humble expression:
"Cough, cough... Teacher, Grandfather, let me explain."
"It's not that I'm acting high and mighty, but just now, after this soul bone appeared, my White Snake Martial Soul and my second martial soul simultaneously sent me a feeling of extreme rejection!"
She Xian sighed and bluffed: "They told me that the bloodline of this Azure-Scaled Giant Python is too lowly and not worthy of my Twin Martial Souls."
"Forcibly fusing a soul bone with such a low-end bloodline would not only lower my future potential but could even cause the purity of my martial souls to decline."
In his sea of consciousness, the Medusa Queen sneered: "Hmph, although this is a lie made up by this brat, I highly agree with this statement."
"How dare they try to put the bones of a mere mongrel, inferior snake into my host's body?"
Little White also whispered in agreement: "That's right, my husband deserves better."
After hearing this explanation, Qian Renxue raised her willow brows, lost in thought.
Spontaneous rejection by martial souls?
If it were anyone else, this reason would be complete nonsense.
But applied to She Xian...
Considering his White Snake and Medusa martial souls, which could absorb immortal herbs to condense rings and seemed to possess autonomous movement, it actually seemed quite reasonable.
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, the doubts in her heart dissipating.
"Since your martial souls reject it, then do not fuse it."
"Xian'er deserves the best soul bones in this world."
Dugu Bo stood to the side, his facial muscles twitching violently.
A 70,000-year Torso Bone is called a low-end bloodline?
The only head bone on this old man is only sixty or seventy thousand years old.
Are you people in Spirit Hall always this arrogant when bragging?
"Xian'er, since you won't use this soul bone, how do you intend to dispose of it?"
In Qian Renxue's view, this was something She Xian had dropped using his own talent, so the power of life and death naturally rested on his word.
Even if he wanted to use it as a toy, no one could say a word against it.
She Xian reached out and took the Torso Bone emitting cyan light, turning to look at She Long, who was anxious and scratching his ears.
Without even blinking, he stuffed the soul bone back into She Long's arms.
"Grandfather, I can't use it, but you should be able to."
She Long's eyes turned red instantly.
This was a 70,000-year Torso Bone!
His own grandson hadn't even hesitated for a second before giving it to him.
"Good child... truly my good grandson!"
She Long's voice choked with emotion as he pulled She Xian into his arms and rubbed the boy's head vigorously, tears welling up in his eyes.
Ci Xue's eyes turned completely red, and he smashed his thighs in jealousy.
"Old Snake, your ancestral grave must be smoking with good fortune!"
"Why don't I have such a good grandson?"
Dugu Bo was so envious he was drooling.
"Enough." Qian Renxue smiled faintly, interrupting She Long's moving display: "Elder She Long, fuse it right here."
"Once he finishes fusing the soul bone, we will set off back to Heaven Dou City."
