True God-Level Soul Bones

The thought that one of his disciples and two of his students were all outstanding figures among their generation.

The excitement on Yan Shaozhe's face was becoming impossible to hide at the prospect of Shrek Academy producing three possessors of ultimate attributes.

Li Qingming, however, said nothing about it.

After exchanging a few casual words with Ma Xiaotao, the two of them headed inside.

The moment they entered Sea God's Pavilion, Ma Xiaotao took the initiative to reach out. Her soft, jade-like hand tightly grasped Li Qingming's.

Streams of evil fire power flowed into him, tempering Li Qingming's body while being purified by the holy power within him.

Feeling that warm touch, Ma Xiaotao's steps slowed by two beats.

Li Qingming glanced at Ma Xiaotao. This time, he did not pull his hand away, and the two soon arrived at the protected area for soul bones.

An elder was stationed here to guard the soul bones.

Besides elders and people like the dean, Shrek also had many senior elders.

These senior elders were all over a hundred years old and close to death. They generally remained in Sea God's Pavilion to protect Shrek Academy, serving as both its accumulated foundation and its trump cards.

When the two arrived, the senior elder merely glanced at them before slowly opening the door.

As they entered, rows upon rows of soul bones came into view. There were a great many soul bones here.

There were all kinds of thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul bones, with thousand-year soul bones being the most numerous.

In this era, because soul beasts could be hunted, many thousand-year soul beasts produced thousand-year soul bones. Thus, Shrek Academy possessed the greatest number of thousand-year soul bones.

Then came the ten-thousand-year soul bones. There were far fewer of those, while hundred-thousand-year soul bones numbered only around a dozen.

Naturally, Li Qingming had no interest in the thousand-year or ten-thousand-year soul bones. Though he possessed the abilities of an angel martial soul, he ultimately lacked any particularly special traits.

Normally, the soul bones best suited to his entire build would be the Angel Set. However, after Qian Renxue's death, no one knew where that set had gone.

And Shrek Academy was the most likely place.

The soul bones Li Qingming most hoped to find were naturally Qian Renxue's Angel Set soul bones. After all, he currently had three bodies.

In other words, each body required six soul bones. He needed a full eighteen soul bones.

And if he gained a third clone later on, he would need twenty-four soul bones.

It was not as though every clone had to be fully equipped with soul bones, but that was still no small number.

Of course, as the main body, Li Qingming possessed his own unique advantages.

Besides using his own soul bones, he could also use the soul bones of his other clones.

At present, there was the chest bone belonging to the Ice Empress on his ice-and-snow clone—or rather, a special chest bone formed from the fusion of Snow Empress and Ice Empress's powers.

He could borrow that one for a short time as well, but doing so would completely expose his trump card.

As the two ventured deeper inside, Ma Xiaotao watched Li Qingming browse the selection, smiled, and directly pulled him into an even deeper secret chamber among the soul bones.

Li Qingming paused when he saw Ma Xiaotao open the chamber. Then, the soul bones displayed inside entered his sight.

There were ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year soul bones here as well, though there were not many hundred-thousand-year ones.

Yet among them was a complete set of soul bones, quietly displayed there. It brimmed with holy and sacred power, while a terrifying aura spread out from within.

It was a complete set of soul bones, a complete set belonging to a Holy Angel—or rather, to a Six-Winged Angel.

It was also the god-level soul bone set that had once belonged to Qian Renxue.

Li Qingming's expression suddenly froze at the sight of that set, while Ma Xiaotao stepped forward and pointed at it.

"Teacher said you can choose one."

"Of course, no one besides you should be able to fuse with these soul bones."

"So long as you work well for the academy in the future, Teacher said this entire set of soul bones will eventually be given to you."

Ma Xiaotao looked at Li Qingming, speaking with complete seriousness.

But Li Qingming was not listening to her at all. His gaze was locked tightly onto that set of soul bones.

This complete set of god-bestowed soul bones, granted through the Angel God's inheritance, consisted entirely of god-level soul bones.

Or rather, the six soul bones of the original Angel Set had all been ninety-nine-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine-year soul bones.

But because they had been directly stripped from Qian Renxue's body, the entire set had become god-level soul bones. Every soul skill within them had also undergone tremendous enhancement and transformation.

The power of these soul bones was beyond imagination.

Mu En and the others might not have known this, or perhaps they could not comprehend the concept of god-level soul bones, but Li Qingming understood.

Of course, even if Mu En and the others had known, it would have been useless. Only a holder of the Six-Winged Angel could use this set of Angel God inheritance soul bones.

In this world, apart from Li Qingming, there had long been no second person with the Six-Winged Angel inheritance.

Even the strongest Holy Angel Martial Soul would absolutely be unable to use these soul bones.

Looking at the complete set of soul bones and the pure golden holy radiance flickering from them, Li Qingming silently stepped forward.

He merely swept his gaze over them before choosing the skull bone without the slightest hesitation.

Among the Angel God's six inherited soul bones, the skull bone was the strongest.

With this skull bone, not only could he gain the ability to transform completely.

It also possessed an extremely core ability: spiritual shock, a spiritual shock imbued with powerful holy power.

This spiritual shock might not be especially effective against others, but for Li Qingming, whose innate spiritual power was already sufficiently strong, this spiritual shock alone could serve as one of his trump cards. The enhancements brought by the skull bone were even more unimaginable.

Especially since he himself possessed the Angel God's inheritance, he could easily fuse with this set of soul bones, even though they were genuine god-level soul bones, without any concerns whatsoever.

As he looked at the six complete soul bones lined up before him, even a trace of greed flashed through Li Qingming's eyes.

He wanted to take them all, yet he clearly understood that with his current strength, he could not take these soul bones away.

At that thought, Li Qingming clenched his fists tightly, and rare silence fell over him.

Seeing Li Qingming take the soul bone, Ma Xiaotao smiled at him. She then stepped forward and pointed at the five remaining soul bones. "I have one chance to take a soul bone. Which one do you want? I can take another one for you, as repayment for the favor you did me."

Ma Xiaotao's voice carried a playful smile.

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Li Qingming stared blankly at the girl before him.

At fifteen, she was already a textbook beauty. As she looked at him now, there was no calculation in her eyes, no ulterior emotion—only sincerity, a sincerity that came from the depths of her heart.

As he gazed into the sincerity in her eyes and that blazing emotion, even Li Qingming's entire body stiffened in place for an instant.
