Ma Xiaotao's Gift, the Special Changes in the Soul Bones

"Thank you. Then I'll choose the right leg bone."

Li Qingming's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Hearing him, Ma Xiaotao raised her hand and directly took down the right leg bone, then handed this precious soul bone to Li Qingming.

Taking the soul bone and feeling the resonance between the two soul bones and his own body, Li Qingming gave Ma Xiaotao a deep look.

"Thank you. I'll remember this favor, and I'll repay you someday."

"It's fine. I said this was to repay you. You've shown me an immense kindness."

"If it hadn't been for you, this Evil Fire Phoenix of mine would only have caused me to fall completely, turning me into a thoroughgoing madwoman, or an evil Soul Master..."

Ma Xiaotao smiled as she spoke, then once more took Li Qingming's hand and walked outside with him.

As Li Qingming came out, Yan Shaozhe sensed the two soul bones on him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

His gaze settled deeply on his disciple. Seeing the undisguised delight in the young woman's eyes, he fell silent for a moment. In the end, he did not stop her, merely nodding at Li Qingming.

"Alright, now that you've taken the soul bones, you should leave. Cultivate well from now on, and don't let these two soul bones down."

"You should also know where these two soul bones came from."

Yan Shaozhe did not continue after saying this, but there was a hint of threat in his tone.

Clearly, Shrek Academy knew the origins of these soul bones.

It was simply that Li Qingming was currently a student of Shrek Academy, so they would not say anything. They had even willingly offered these two soul bones to him, but this was also a way of keeping Li Qingming in check.

Thus, unless Li Qingming became strong enough to serve Shrek Academy, Shrek Academy would absolutely not allow him to take all six soul bones away intact.

Li Qingming understood this as well, but at this moment, he only felt fortunate.

After all, if he had not come to Shrek Academy, then once he attached other soul bones to his main body, he would have completely lost the chance to obtain these six god-tier soul bones.

It was not that other soul bones were inferior.

Soul bones produced by all kinds of soul beasts were also powerful. Even the torso bone attached by the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was likewise a top-tier soul bone.

But no matter how powerful a soul bone was, it was still merely a soul bone. It could not compare to true divine bones that came from the God Realm.

One had to know that these were Angel Qian Renxue's soul bones, containing genuine god-tier power. They had already reached the divine level and did not need all six pieces to be combined, as in the original timeline, to produce god-tier effects.

"Thank you, Dean Yan. I will certainly not disappoint your expectations."

Li Qingming's voice was calm. He acted as though he had not heard Yan Shaozhe's vaguely threatening words.

After all, he was under another's roof for now. There was nothing he could say.

But as his strength grew, the final outcome remained uncertain.

After all, this set of soul bones did not belong to Shrek Academy. It belonged to the Angel Clan.

Or rather, as the final heir of the Angel Clan, these six soul bones had originally been his.

It was only because Qian Renxue had lost to Tang San that this set of soul bones had changed from the Angel Clan's possession into Shrek Academy's.

Other than him, no one could use this Sacred Angel soul bone set. Even if it had been kept at Shrek Academy, it would only have gathered dust.

Now that Shrek Academy had taken out this set of soul bones as a reward for him, he would remember this kindness and repay it. But beyond that, there was only this one favor between them.

After all, using something from his own family to reward him, then demanding his loyalty in return—just hearing it sounded absurd.

Still, Yan Shaozhe was quite satisfied to see Li Qingming being so sensible.

Li Qingming said nothing and silently returned to his room.

When the door opened, the milk tea and food had already been finished. Wang Dong had neatly stacked everything beside the trash bin.

Looking at Wang Dong lying there with steady breathing, Li Qingming paused for a second. He picked up the trash bin, went out to throw away the garbage, then sat down and quietly entered meditation.

As he raised his hand, the skull bone appeared first, transforming into a mass of golden liquid that slowly merged into his head.

It began fusing with his skull, initiating the fusion of the first soul bone.

At the same time, the second soul bone appeared on his left leg. Almost instantly, it established a complete connection with Li Qingming—or rather, with Qian Renxue's remnant soul within him, his own Six-Winged Angel, and the Angel God inheritance—before slowly merging into him.

The fusion process went smoothly, without any changes or even the slightest irregularity.

One had to know that the Angel God did not represent the Six-Winged Angel or the Sacred Angel.

Ever since Qian Renxue had truly fallen—or rather, since the Angel God had altered the angel inheritance—the power contained within the Angel God was no longer the pure power of the Sacred Angel it had once been.

As the two powers began to fuse, Li Qingming opened his eyes within Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and fixed his gaze upon his left leg.

As a surge of power emerged, his body actually began changing as well.

If the soul bones of the original body could be used by the clone, then the Fallen clone could now use the soul bones of the original body too.

However, the powers carried by the two soul bones were now beginning to change completely.

As the Fallen Angel martial soul appeared behind Li Qingming's back, extreme fallen power spread outward. The originally pure sacred power within his skull bone was likewise contaminated—or rather, the two powers began to merge and evolve toward the Judgment Angel.

This caused the skills of the soul bones to remain unchanged, but the effects contained within them underwent drastic alterations. The power that had originally represented the Sacred Angel became the power of the Judgment Angel.

Noticing that his appearance had changed into Xiao Hongchen's, Li Qingming stared at his body, his expression gradually calming.

The next second, his body returned to its original appearance.

"This is really not bad. As long as I completely obtain all six soul bones, I can transform the entire Sacred Angel Set into the Judgment Angel Set. I might even gain other enhancements and soul skills."

As Li Qingming thought this, his eyes lit up.

In fact, Qian Renxue's other relics should also be at Shrek Academy, including the Angel Sacred Sword.

That too was a genuine divine artifact. It was most likely still within Shrek Academy, though it was also possible that it had long since vanished.

In any case, Li Qingming could not sense it at present. Unless his strength improved and he truly began merging with the Angel God inheritance—or completely remade the Angel God's inherited divine seat—

Perhaps then, using a stronger power to search, he might also find the Angel Divine Sword and Angel Wings.

Otherwise, before then, he would never be able to find those two items.

Of course, there was no use thinking about this now. For Li Qingming, the most important thing was still improving himself.

With that in mind, he rose to find Meng Hongchen and attend tonight's lecture and the exchange meeting related to it.

Xu Tianran had been giving him money throughout these past two months, so he now had quite a few resources in hand.

With those resources, it should not be difficult to exchange for some special notes from third-class soul engineers, as well as a large quantity of materials for crafting third-class soul tools.

Then he could attempt the crafting required of a third-class soul engineer.

And once he could accomplish the work of a third-class soul engineer, as a third-class soul engineer around ten years old—

Even if Jing Hongchen truly wanted to target him, it would already be absolutely impossible.
