Absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow
An Jun laughed excitedly, "Hahaha! Miss Bing'er, you're right. The Ice Leopard Emperor is indeed an agile Soul Beast, and under normal circumstances, it should indeed produce leg Soul Bone. But I already have left and right leg Soul Bone, so naturally it won't produce duplicate Soul Bone anymore."
Upon hearing An Jun's explanation, Shui Bing'er instantly understood. A blush crept onto her cheeks, and she smiled, "Senior An Jun, you are truly fortunate. The Trunk Bone is the most precious of the six Soul Bone. Trunk Bone that is 100,000 years old is even more invaluable."
Standing next to An Jun, Yunxiang asked in confusion, "That doesn't make sense! The Ice Leopard Emperor is an agility-type Soul Beast. Agility corresponds to leg bones, and attack corresponds to arm bones. If it doesn't produce leg bones, it should prioritize producing arm bones, like the Right Arm Bone."
An Jun smiled and said, "Yunxiang, you're not wrong. But I already have my Right Arm Bone."
An Jun's words startled everyone.
"Three Soul Bone!" Yunxiang covered her mouth in surprise with her small hand, her eyes filled with envy.
Soul Bone are invaluable treasures that Soul Master can only dream of; for a Soul Master to possess even one Soul Bone is an immense stroke of luck. Out of respect for An Jun, Huo Lei had never inquired about them before. He was astonished to suddenly hear that An Jun possessed three Soul Bone. Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, who were standing nearby, were equally surprised.
Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level are already influential figures in the Soul Master World. As long as Titled Douluo don't appear, Soul Douluo can be renowned throughout the region. However, Soul Master who reach the Soul Douluo level and possess three Soul Bone are rare. After all, Soul Bone are scarce, and some Soul Master, even those who reach the Titled Douluo level, may not even possess a single Soul Bone.
"That's right. Before I joined Huo Lei, I already possessed three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. There's no need to be surprised. After all, I was once the garrison marshal of Iceforest City, and I stayed there for decades, guarding this treasure land of the Frozen Forest. It's normal for me to have a few Soul Bone." An Jun's expression revealed a hint of pride.
After An Jun explained, everyone nodded in agreement.
Huo Lei asked, "Senior An Jun, after absorbing the Ice Leopard Emperor's Trunk Bone, have you reached the ideal level you mentioned before?"
"I've reached that level. I'm now a level 93 Titled Douluo." An Jun nodded with a smile.
Huo Lei nodded, looked at the three women beside him, and asked, "Have you thought of a way to absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow?"
Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and Yunxiang looked at each other and shook their heads simultaneously.
Huo Lei said, "I have thought of a way, I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try."
Shui Bing'er urged, "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already!"
"My idea is for Senior An Jun to go to the bottom of the Cavern to absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, store the absorbed energy, and then transfer it to you. In this way, Bing'er and Xue Wu can both enjoy the benefits brought by this rare treasure. What do you think, Senior An Jun?" Huo Lei shared his thoughts with everyone.
"I think it's worth a try." An Jun nodded.
Huo Lei said, "Then let's start trying it now! Yunxiang, you stay here and wait for us to come back."
"Alright! I wish you success. Oh, and Huo Lei, take this." Yunxiang said, taking out a pink Strawberry that could restore Soul Power from her Storage Ring and handing it to Huo Lei.
Huo Lei took the Strawberry and swallowed it directly. He smiled at Yunxiang, then turned and walked into the Cavern with the others.
Huo Lei and his three companions walked side by side into the boundary of darkness. Huo Lei immediately activated his Flame Martial Soul, Flame danced merrily in Huo Lei palms, illuminating the path beneath his feet.
When the four had walked about a third of the way into the Cavern, Xue Wu suddenly spoke up, "Can we stop here? I can't take it anymore if we go any further."
"Then let's stop. Bing'er, how are you feeling?" Huo Lei stopped and looked at Shui Bing'er beside him, asking about her condition.
Shui Bing'er said, "I'm fine with it. But it's quite nice here. I can keep Xue Wu company, and it's also convenient for me to try out your ideas."
"Alright. Senior An Jun, go and absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Jade Marrow!" Huo Lei looked at An Jun and gave him a word of advice.
An Jun was already very familiar with the Cavern, and in a flash he disappeared into the darkness.
Fifteen minutes later, An Jun returned to Huo Lei's side.
"How is Senior An Jun?" Huo Lei raised his right hand, a bright, burning Flame dancing in his palm, illuminating everyone.
An Jun extended his hands, which had become as white and smooth as jade, and smiled, "Storing ice-attribute energy is no problem. I absorbed a portion of energy from a Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and condensed it all in my palms. As long as I slowly transfer the energy to Bing'er and Xue Wu, it should be fine. Let's start the experiment now!"
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and began to mobilize their Soul Power, circulating it around their bodies.
Seeing that the two women were ready, An Jun placed his fair, jade-like hands on their shoulders.
As soon as his palms touched Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's shoulders, the two women trembled slightly before regaining their composure.
White, chilling energy visibly emanated from An Jun's hands, slowly being drawn into their bodies by the two women.
The white chill was absorbed by Shui Bing'er as soon as it came into contact with her body, and she seemed to do so very easily. In Xue Wu, the white chill, under Xue Wu's control, swirled around her body once before being slowly absorbed into her body, a process that was noticeably slower than Shui Bing'er's.
"It seems my method works." Huo Lei, who had been watching from the sidelines, gradually relaxed.
Nearly 15 minutes later, An Jun's hands, which had been resting on Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's shoulders, returned to normal. He slowly withdrew his hands, let out a long sigh, looked at Huo Lei, and smiled softly, saying, "Energy transfer complete. Your method is correct."
Huo Lei didn't say anything, but simply smiled and nodded at An Jun. Huo Lei did this because he didn't want to disturb Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, who were cultivating.
Not long after An Jun finished transferring the ice-elemental energy, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu awoke from their cultivation. They both stood up, and Shui Bing'er exclaimed excitedly, "Such powerful ice-elemental energy! This feeling is amazing! Huo Lei, your method worked!"
Xue Wu chimed in, "Big sister is right. This is the first time I've encountered this kind of energy. It's truly a rare treasure for ice and snow attribute Soul Master."
"Since this method works, let's proceed accordingly! You can go out to eat whenever you're hungry; I'll prepare food for you whenever you want. It's quite cold here, and after staying here for so long, my Soul Power is almost depleted. I'm going out soon. Do you have any lighting tools?" Huo Lei's body trembled slightly as he blurted out the words.
"Don't worry. I have a light source. You should go back to the cave entrance quickly!" An Jun flipped his right hand, and a spherical glowing stone the size of an adult's fist appeared in his palm. The glowing stone emitted a soft white light, illuminating the surrounding environment.
"I'll be waiting for you at the cave entrance." As soon as Huo Lei finished speaking, he hurriedly released his Thunder Wings and flew outwards.
