At dawn the next day, before daybreak.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who had been working late into the night, were now sleeping in each other's arms on the large round bed.
Zhu Zhuqing nestled in Dai Mubai's arms, her eyes still showing signs of weariness.
Just then, a tuft of hair reached out and scratched Dai Mubai's nose.
Dai Mubai wrinkled his nose and groggily opened his eyes.
What came into view were the two pretty faces of Ning Rongrong and Shui Yue'er, one on the left and one on the right, so close to each other.
Ning Rongrong lay on the pillow, pinching the end of her hair with one hand, and playfully brushed it against Dai Mubai's nose.
Shui Yue'er lay on the other side, and when she saw him wake up, her eyes crinkled with a smile.
Shui Bing'er sat shyly at the foot of the bed, smiling as she watched the two of them teasing Dai Mubai.
"Fine, you've disturbed my good sleep. None of you three are getting away."
Dai Mubai grabbed Ning Rongrong, who was closest to him, and quickly pinned her down.
Ning Rongrong gasped in surprise, but before she could beg for mercy, her mouth was gagged.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er simultaneously wrapped themselves around her from the left and right.
Dai Mubai reached out and pulled the two of them into his arms as well.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing nearby, was woken up by the noise. She opened her eyes groggily and, before she could figure out what was happening, Dai Mubai pulled her into the team battle.
An hour later, it was already broad daylight. The battle in the Imperial Bedchamber had just ended, and the bedding was in disarray, with clothes scattered all over the floor.
The five people lay sprawled on the large round bed, breathing slightly heavily.
Once everyone had caught their breath, Dai Mubai pinched Ning Rongrong on his left. " Rongrong, how's the Soul Bone going?"
Ning Rongrong's face was still flushed. She snuggled closer to him, found a comfortable position, and then said, "After absorbing the Soul Bone, my physical attributes improved significantly, and my Soul Power jumped directly from level 47 to level 50."
"The two Soul Skill are Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body. Teleportation allows you to instantly move to any location within a hundred meters. Invincible Golden Body grants immunity to all damage for three seconds, including physical attacks, energy shocks, and even mental damage. Moreover, the duration of Invincible Golden Body increases by one second for every ten levels gained. However, this skill can only be used three times per day."
Dai Mubai nodded; it was about what he had expected.
These two skills are practically life-saving abilities for Ning Rongrong. The biggest fear for Auxiliary Soul Master is being attacked at close range. With Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body, Ning Rongrong's survivability is maximized.
Dai Mubai pinched Shui Yue'er's right hand again and asked, " Yue'er, what about you?"
Shui Yue'er blinked and said, "Didn't you feel it just now? After consuming that Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, my body's flexibility increased significantly, my physical strength more than doubled, and my cultivation speed more than doubled compared to before."
"Furthermore, my Soul Power has jumped directly from level 37 to level 40. We'll only know the exact number of levels gained after acquiring the Soul Ring."
Dai Mubai smiled and tightened his grip slightly, "I felt it. Looks like I can't underestimate you anymore!"
"Hmm..." Shui Yue'er murmured, and twisted her body again.
Immediately, Dai Mubai nudged Shui Bing'er Shui Yue'er: " Bing'er, how about you? How do you feel after absorbing the Immortal Herb and Soul Bone?"
Shui Bing'er rubbed against Dai Mubai's inner thigh, whether intentionally or not, she mumbled sleepily, "After consuming the Immortal Herb and absorbing the Soul Bone, I feel my affinity for ice elements has reached an extremely high level, the highest it can get."
"My physical strength and mental power have both improved significantly, and I can now control my Martial Soul with ease. Ice-type Soul Skill that I couldn't control precisely before due to insufficient Soul Power are now much smoother to use, and the consumption of Soul Power has also decreased considerably."
"What about Soul Power? And Soul Bone?" Dai Mubai continued to ask.
" My Soul Power has increased by more than five levels from level 44, reaching the peak of level 49. I feel I should be breaking through the level 50 bottleneck soon. The Head Soul Bone mainly enhances mental power, not Soul Power."
Shui Bing'er paused, then continued, " The Soul Bone Skill is the same as you described, called Medusa's Gaze. It shoots two petrifying rays from its eyes, capable of petrifying targets of all physical and energy forms. The petrification duration increases with the strength of one's mental power, initially three seconds."
After listening, Dai Mubai nodded in satisfaction. "Three seconds of hard crowd control is enough to change the course of a team fight. Combined with your Ice Phoenix's Ice Seal, the control chain is almost impenetrable."
He sat up, stretched, and glanced at the four people sprawled on the bed. He chuckled, "Alright, everyone has made a significant improvement. Rongrong broke through level 50, Yue'er reached level 40, Bing'er peaked at level 49, and Zhu Qing also broke through level 50 long ago. Next, we need to arrange for them to acquire Soul Ring."
"Let's go check on the others later, and then we'll go hunt for Soul Ring together."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing also propped herself up and sat up, revealing her proud G-Wagon hands, but she completely ignored it, simply smoothing her long, black hair with both hands, her face still flushed. "Let's go then, Lingling and the others should be here by now."
Ning Rongrong rolled over, stretched, and said, "Okay, time to get up!"
Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er also stood up, and suddenly four pairs of G-Class and G-Class cars were swaying in front of them, making Dai Mubai stare intently.
The four of them got dressed first, and then helped Dai Mubai get dressed and fix his hair.
Fifteen minutes later, the five of them arrived at the front hall together.
Inside the hall, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Yang Pojun, Niu Zhen Dai Lingling, and Bai Chenxiang had all arrived. They were sitting in twos and threes on chairs, clearly having been waiting for quite some time.
Seeing Dai Mubai enter with the four Crown Prince’s Consort, Ma Hongjun grinned and said, " Boss Dai, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for ages."
"Everyone's here."
Dai Mubai glanced at everyone and smiled before sitting down in the main seat.
"So, tell me, what's everyone's situation now after absorbing the Soul Bone?"
Oscar grinned and said, " Boss Dai, after I took that Soul-Consolidating Pill, my Soul Power broke through the bottleneck of Soul King from level 48, and now it's level 50! I only need one more Soul Ring to become a true food-type Soul King! Hahaha!"
Dai Mubai her eyes at him. "You're this happy just because you're Soul King? Can't you be a little more dignified? What about the others?"
Ma Hongjun patted his chest and said, "After absorbing the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm Bone, my Soul Power increased by one level, from level 48 to level 49. The strength of my right hand increased significantly, and the Soul Bone Skill is called Phoenix Explosive Strike. When activated, it instantly unleashes a Flame attack containing explosive properties."
Yang Pojun stood up and said, "I absorbed the Riftgold Demon Tiger Right Arm Bone. My Soul Power increased by nearly two levels, breaking through from the peak of level 47 to level 49. The strength of my right hand and the penetrating power of the Soul Breaking Spear have both increased significantly. The Soul Bone comes with a skill called Riftgold Piercing Thrust, which unleashes a spear beam with extremely strong Penetration power, tripling the attack power and adding an Armor Break effect."
