"Thirty-Thousand-Year Shieldblade Monster King's Left Arm Bone!"
"This soul bone came from the same source as your second soul ring. It is a true Blood River treasure!"
"Hurry up and absorb and refine it!"
"Otherwise, the longer the night drags on, the more likely something will go wrong. You could not find something like this even with a lantern!"
While sorting through the spoils, Liu Yuer discovered this soul bone inside the Thirty-Thousand-Year Shieldblade Monster King's body.
The Shieldblade Monster King had died too unjustly, filled with resentment at the moment of death, and this soul bone had formed after its demise.
"No!"
"This soul bone is useless to me!"
"Mother, you should absorb and refine it!"
"What matters now is raising your and Father's strength as quickly as possible. Only then can you protect me better!"
Liu Yuer's martial soul was the Dragon-Pattern Sword. Though it was a high-grade martial soul, her innate soul power was only rank five. Without a great opportunity, she would likely never reach the Soul Saint realm in this life!
This thirty-thousand-year soul bone could make up for the deficiencies in Liu Yuer's martial soul origin and allow it to undergo a transformation!
"This is a thirty-thousand-year soul bone!"
"Do not be foolish. Absorb it quickly!"
Liu Yuer adamantly refused the item. She forcibly stuffed the soul bone into Xia Mu's hands, then tried to persuade him.
"Father's body martial soul has already completed its second awakening. He may become a Soul Douluo in the future!"
"Your martial soul's quality is not low, but your innate soul power is too low. This soul bone can improve your talent!"
"Absorbing and refining it is the best solution."
Xia Mu pushed the soul bone back toward Liu Yuer. How could he not understand her concerns? But as her son, he had to carefully plan for his parents' sake.
"Xia Mu is right!"
"Once the two of us become stronger, we will be able to protect Xia Mu as well."
"After all, the biggest fist is what truly matters!"
Xia Feng made the final decision and spoke to Liu Yuer.
"This..."
Seeing both father and son urging her on, Liu Yuer was at a loss and stood rooted to the spot.
"Mother, stop hesitating!"
Xia Mu picked up the soul bone and pressed it against Liu Yuer's left arm. The soul bone slowly merged into her body.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz~"
Soul power fluctuations spread outward, and a terrifying sword intent emerged. The soul bone fusion had begun!
Seeing this, Xia Feng hurriedly stood guard nearby!
Half an incense stick later, Liu Yuer finally succeeded in refining the thirty-thousand-year Shieldblade Monster King's Left Arm Bone.
"Whew~"
Liu Yuer opened her eyes. Her gaze was like lightning, and the flickering sword intent made others feel a hint of danger!
"How is it?"
Xia Feng stepped forward and asked eagerly.
"Very good!"
"My soul power has reached rank thirty-eight, just one step away from rank thirty-nine. This Shieldblade Monster King's Left Arm Bone granted me a powerful offensive soul skill. The soul bone skill is called: Sword-Qi River!"
"This soul bone skill is very powerful!"
"It is somewhat similar to a domain-type soul skill!"
Liu Yuer spoke softly. This soul bone had improved her cultivation aptitude, benefiting her immensely.
With her current foundation, as long as Liu Yuer cultivated diligently in the future, she would be able to enter the Soul Saint realm.
"A ten-thousand-year soul bone truly deserves to be called a Blood River treasure!"
"The effects of such a heaven-defying treasure are indeed extraordinary. What a pity I do not have such fortune!"
This soul bone was exceptionally compatible with sword cultivators. Once a sword cultivator absorbed it, they could undergo a heaven-shaking transformation.
"Father, do you want a soul bone?"
Seeing this, Xia Mu made a joke.
"What nonsense!"
"Who would not want a ten-thousand-year soul bone?"
Xia Feng rolled his eyes at Xia Mu and replied.
"Fine!"
"Then leave this matter to me!"
Xia Mu patted his chest and spoke to Xia Feng.
He did know of a soul bone that was highly compatible with his father, but the most urgent matter now was helping Liu Yuer break through to the four-ring Soul Ancestor realm as soon as possible.
Only after Liu Yuer broke through rank forty and successfully hunted her fourth soul ring would that matter be settled.
"Come on, let us go home!"
Xia Mu waved his little hand and declared high-spiritedly.
Vast Sea City, Xia Family.
The sun and moon raced by, and time flowed on.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Over that month, Liu Yuer sorted through her gains and fully mastered her soul bone skill.
With the help of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue and medicinal baths, Liu Yuer's soul power reached an astonishing rank forty.
Afterward, Xia Feng personally hunted her fourth ring for her. The soul ring came from an eight-thousand-year Azure Jade Sword Orchid.
After absorbing the soul ring, Liu Yuer's soul power reached rank forty-two, temporarily surpassing Xia Feng by an entire major realm.
The Azure Jade Sword Orchid was a rare plant-type gem soul beast, and the soul skills it produced also tended toward the spiritual type!
Liu Yuer's fourth soul skill was called Divine Sword Command. This soul skill greatly enhanced her spiritual power.
Once activated, this soul skill allowed her to command swords with her thoughts, revealing terrifying sword intent.
It ignored all spiritual interference and condensed a flawless sword heart, greatly increasing Liu Yuer's combat power.
"Yellow, yellow, purple, purple!"
"The optimal soul ring configuration?"
After seeing Liu Yuer's soul rings, Xia Mu could not help shaking his head lightly, seemingly somewhat regretful.
Although Liu Yuer and Xia Feng had consumed Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, they still could not absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth ring!
That was because the age of their third soul rings was far too low, and their spiritual power did not meet the requirements either.
However, after Liu Yuer absorbed her fourth ring, her spiritual power increased greatly and she condensed a flawless sword heart. When it came time for her fifth ring, she could try absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
"Father's third soul ring is three thousand years old, so his fourth ring cannot exceed ten thousand years either!"
"To absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth ring, the third soul ring must be no less than five thousand years old!"
"Even after meeting that condition, one's spiritual power cannot be too low. Only then can one break through the limit."
"However, body martial souls emphasize building up strength over time. With the help of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, body martial soul masters can absorb hundred-thousand-year soul rings once they reach their seventh ring!"
Ten thousand years later, Du Bushi relied on his body martial soul to forcibly absorb three hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
With that foundation, he forcibly cultivated to the rank of Super Douluo, overwhelming countless geniuses across the continent.
"Haha~"
"This Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue really is good stuff. After eating one piece, my soul power rose another rank. I am already a rank thirty-three Soul Elder."
Xia Feng's hearty voice rang out beside him.
"Oh, right, brat!"
"Ever since awakening your martial soul, you have devoted yourself to cultivation and hardly participated in any real battles!"
"That will not do!"
"How about trying the Great Spirit Arena?"
Xia Feng looked at Xia Mu and suggested.
Flowers raised in a greenhouse could not withstand the ravages of wind and rain. Ordinary iron could only become refined steel after countless hammerings. Actual combat could not be neglected.
Soul masters were, by nature, professionals who lived with blades at their throats. Conflict and scheming were unavoidable; they could not lack fighting spirit.
"The Great Spirit Arena?"
"That is nothing more than child's play!"
"If I am going to fight for real, then I should choose a battle to the death!"
"Only by experiencing life and death can one glimpse their true self!"
"Father, this time I plan to go to the Desolate Gold Plain and hunt those hateful wolf bandits!"
"I am afraid I will have to trouble you again!"
Xia Mu also understood that a soul master's path of cultivation was paved with blood and dry bones.
The Light-Hiding Sword in his hand was due for a taste of blood.
