Yang Yong jerked his head up, seized the Finger Bone, and growled, "Fuck! Get over here!"
He pinched the Finger Bone.
Once he held it, the Finger Bone proved surprisingly obedient, shrinking to the size of an egg on its own.
Yang Yong stuffed it into his mouth. His Adam's apple bobbed sharply as he forced it down.
As the Finger Bone entered his stomach, an icy, bone-piercing sensation slid all the way down his throat.
It excitedly burrowed toward Yang Yong's dantian.
Its joints trembled slightly with excitement. It was already calculating how to take over this body.
Then...

A dull collision rang out from inside Yang Yong.
Immediately afterward came the Finger Bone's wail.
Its voice was shrill and panicked, filled with incredulous terror. "How can you have something like this inside you? I was tricked...!"
It seemed to have struck some more powerful presence lying dormant inside Yang Yong.
That presence revealed only the faintest trace of its aura, yet it forced the Finger Bone to retreat again and again.
From his dantian, it was squeezed out, driven away, and crushed back the entire way.
Ultimately, it had no choice but to retreat into the bones of Yang Yong's right index finger. It fell completely silent, becoming one segment of that finger.
At that very moment, a transformation began.

The bone armor kept spreading.
It spread from his index finger to his palm, from his palm to his wrist, then to his forearm, elbow, upper arm, and shoulder, reaching all the way to the right side of his chest.
It continued until his entire right side was encased in a suit of savage-looking white bone
