"Mom..."
That childish voice struck straight at Bo Saixi's heart. During the days Bofeng had been unconscious, she had worried herself sick.
Seeing Bofeng awaken in bed, Bo Saixi finally let go of the anxiety hanging over her heart.
She gently helped Bofeng sit up and sighed. "Feng'er, you nearly scared your mother to death. If anything had happened to you, I wouldn't have been able to go on living."
"Mom, please don't say such foolish things. Aren't I fine?" Bofeng comforted her.
"Mom, where's Sister Xiaobai? Is she all right?" Bofeng asked worriedly.
Bo Saixi slowly shook her head. "Xiao Bai is fine, only suffering some external injuries. You, on the other hand, fought a Fifty Thousand Year Evil Spirit Orca and fell into a deep sleep because of it. You mustn't do this again."
Bofeng nodded, then turned his gaze toward the Spirit Bone resting nearby.
It was Bofeng's first time seeing such a thing. Based on the fragments of memories he retained, the red, bone-like object seemed to have dropped from that Evil Spirit Orca.
"Mom, what is this bone? I remember it falling from that Evil Spirit Orca," Bofeng asked in confusion.
Bo Saixi extended her left hand, and the Spirit Bone resting steadily on the table flew straight into it.
"This is a Spirit Bone. When Spirit Beasts die, they only have an extremely small chance of dropping one. You were very lucky. This Spirit Bone came from the Fifty Thousand Year Evil Spirit Orca you accidentally killed that day. It is a fine Right Leg Bone, around Fifty Thousand Years old." Bo Saixi explained patiently.
Looking at the Spirit Bone in his mother's hand, Bofeng finally understood that this was a Spirit Bone.
Six years after crossing over, this was still his first time seeing one. He had heard that once a Spirit Bone fused with a Soul Master, it could also grant excellent soul skills.
"When you have time, absorb this Spirit Bone. Feng'er, both your first and second Spirit Rings came from Evil Spirit Orcas, and this Spirit Bone was likewise left behind by one. Its age is also quite suitable. Combined with your first and second soul skills, it would be a good choice."
At this point, Bo Saixi's expression immediately changed, becoming stern.
"Also, didn't Mother teach you that you must not absorb Spirit Rings beyond a Soul Master's limits? Then why did you insist on absorbing that Thousand-Year Spirit Ring as your second Spirit Ring? Were you really trying to anger Mother to death?"
Faced with his mother's reproach, Bofeng felt a wave of disappointment.
"Mom..."
Bofeng said softly, "If I said Lord Sea God told me to do it, would you still blame me?"
After he spoke, Bo Saixi froze slightly before asking, "Feng'er, tell Mother clearly. What exactly did Lord Sea God say to you?"
Bofeng recalled, "Lord Sea God told me to go to Douluo Continent and search for the lost Sea God's Heart. He also had me absorb that Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, saying that with him there, nothing would happen to me."
"The Sea God's Heart?"
As the High Priest of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi naturally understood what the Sea God's Heart was.
"That is Lord Sea God's divine weapon, the Sea God Trident. It is the most crucial part of it, but unfortunately, it has been lost for who knows how many years. Since Lord Sea God personally appointed you, when do you intend to set out?"
Since the Sea God had personally given the order, it had to be an extremely important matter.
Others might not know about the Sea God's Heart, but Bofeng knew perfectly well.
The Sea God's Heart was sealed within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace as the National Treasure.
Bofeng smiled and said, "Mom, you don't need to worry so much. I know where the Sea God's Heart is."
"Oh?" Bo Saixi asked doubtfully. "Where is it?"
"Mom, don't worry. No one would dare take the Sea God's Heart from that place. Didn't you promise that once my Soul Power reaches Level Thirty, you would allow me to go to the continent?" Bofeng asked eagerly.
He had spent six years on Sea God Island. He knew everything and everyone here extremely well, but the world beyond the island was where the true excitement lay. Bofeng had long been looking forward to it.
Bo Saixi covered her mouth and laughed. "You little rascal, you have Innate Full Spirit Power Level Twenty. Reaching Level Thirty will only take a few years. Once your injuries have healed, Mother will give you special training. And there are the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians. From now on, every week, you must visit one of them and learn their abilities. You may only leave Sea God Island once you have learned enough to satisfy me."
Bofeng nodded solemnly. "No problem at all."
"Oh, right. It's time to give this to you."
As she spoke, Bo Saixi took several books from behind her. They resembled martial arts manuals, their aged pages yellowed with time, while the names at the top had long since become blurred.
"Mom? What are these?" Bofeng asked as he accepted the manuals.
A ripple passed through Bo Saixi's eyes, and she smiled. "These were left for you by your father."
"Father left these behind!" Bofeng's eyes widened as he looked at the manuals in his hands as though they were priceless treasures.
"Your Second Martial Soul is actually your father's Martial Soul. These manuals are all related to hammer techniques. Practice them when you have spare time," Bo Saixi instructed.
"Mom, do these manuals have names?"
Bo Saixi thought for a moment. "I heard your father mention them before. One seemed to be called some kind of Disorder Hammer Technique, and the other was some kind of Great Hammer."
"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer! Great Sumeru Hammer!" Bofeng blurted out instinctively.
"That's right!" Bo Saixi clapped her hands and said happily, "They're the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and the Great Sumeru Hammer. Wait, Mother never told you about them. How did you know?"
Seeing the puzzled look on his mother's face, Bofeng hurriedly laughed it off and made up a random excuse.
After Bo Saixi left, Bofeng's gaze grew complicated as he looked at the Great Sumeru Hammer and Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer his father had left behind. Any one of them would have been among the most famous techniques on the continent.
The Great Sumeru Hammer in particular was the Clear Sky Sect's secret art, and calling it a divine skill would not have been an exaggeration.
The most remarkable aspect of the Great Sumeru Hammer was Ring Detonation, using the destruction of Spirit Rings to enhance one's own strength.
Unfortunately, Bofeng's primary Martial Soul was the Sea God Spirit. If he made the Mysterious Hammer his primary Martial Soul, it would surely cause quite a stir upon reaching the continent—especially with Spirit Hall.
It seemed his father really was him. If he remembered correctly, his father was currently in the distant City of Slaughter. He wondered how far he had progressed in the Asura Nine Trials.
Hopefully, Father had not been affected by the evil will of the Rakshasa God...
At the same time, within a dark crimson palace.
A man's face was deathly pale, his hair entirely white and his features devoid of color. A pair of blood-red wings extended from his back, a crimson mark sat between his brows, and two sharp fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth.
At that moment, he was feeling over this body, marveling without end.
"What a perfect body. I must thank the Rakshasa's evil will. No matter how talented you were, what did it matter that you completed seven Asura trials in six consecutive years? In the end, I still took advantage of your weakness. From this day onward, this will be my domain."
"My name is the King of Slaughter!!!"
