Evolving the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone

The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had two Soul Bone Skills: flight, and "Wildfire cannot burn it all away; the spring breeze blows, and it grows again."

Both were extremely useful skills for Lu Chen at present.

First was flight. As one of the foremost divine beasts in Huaxia legends, the Azure Dragon, spirit of the eastern heavens, naturally possessed the ability to fly. The reason Lu Chen had not used it while traveling with Xiao Wu was that, with his current strength, both his flight altitude and speed were pitiful...

It was not even as fast as going on foot.

The Azure Emperor Spirit-Calming Art did contain a method for cultivating dragon wings, but that likewise required time.

With the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, these problems could be solved immediately. Even later, when Lu Chen became strong enough to fly on his own, this skill could still boost his flight speed. It would never become obsolete.

As for "Wildfire cannot burn it all away; the spring breeze blows, and it grows again," it was the most important part of all, practically the entire essence of the unique Soul Beast species that was the Blue Silver Emperor.

Instant repair, Soul Power regeneration, physical enhancement, automatic activation!

Simply by absorbing this Soul Bone, Lu Chen, who was only at the Soul Master realm, would immediately gain a powerful healing skill encompassing all four effects above, bringing the Blue Silver Emperor's so-called "immortality" to its utmost.

With the amplification from his Twin Martial Souls and the Soul Bone's powerful healing, Lu Chen was even confident that he could defeat a Soul Elder while only a rank-fifteen Soul Master.

And after reaching the Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo realm, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone's properties would be fully unleashed.

Regrowing severed limbs, repairing one's origin, group healing, prolonging life at its very limits... Aside from being unable to resurrect others, it was practically everything healing-type Soul Masters dreamed of becoming.

If the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters knew, their hearts of cultivation would probably shatter. Their Martial Soul was hailed as the continent's finest healing-type Martial Soul, yet could barely be passed down at the enormous cost of having only a single successor each generation.

Top-tier support, offering both escape and healing, it was definitely a reinforcement for Lu Chen, whose strengths lay in raw stats and endurance. It also happened to occupy the right leg, one of the lower-ranked positions among the six major Soul Bones.

Ah Yin was very happy as well.

Although being happy rather than upset that someone else was going to absorb her Soul Bone was rather dark, that truly was how Ah Yin felt.

Revealing the truth of what happened back then, helping her escape Tang Hao's surveillance, saving her when she wanted to take her own life, and just now, stopping her from falling down an evil path and turning disaster into fortune, allowing her a glimpse of the ultimate...

So many things had happened one after another in a single day, leaving an enormous impact on the simple-hearted Ah Yin. But she was too reserved and truly did not know how to express her gratitude.

Naturally, being needed by Lu Chen now made her incredibly excited.

Ah Yin sounded a little eager. "Of course. How should I help you?"

Lu Chen released his Azure Dragon Martial Soul again and placed the beautiful Soul Bone between them. It was crystalline throughout, starlight flickering within it like a brilliant galaxy. He enveloped it in the presence of ultimate wood, then looked at Ah Yin and said:

"I want to evolve this Soul Bone, so I need you to use your connection with your own Soul Bone to help me suppress any resistance it might put up during the evolution."

If Lu Chen did not possess the ultimate wood attribute, and Ah Yin were not here, he could simply absorb the Soul Bone directly. Gaining two superb skills for nothing would have him laughing himself awake from his dreams.

But now, Lu Chen wanted much more.

With an ultimate attribute added in, even if he could not evolve this Soul Bone directly to the level Tang San could only achieve as a Titled Douluo, a thirty-percent improvement over its original state was not asking too much, was it?

With everything ready, Lu Chen stepped back slightly, sat on the bed, and channeled his Soul Power over the Soul Bone.

The instant his Soul Power touched the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, blue-gold light erupted. The entire Soul Bone dissolved into a stream of light, like a brilliant river of stars. Yet instead of merging into Lu Chen's right leg, it was sucked into the mouth of the Azure Dragon's luminous silhouette hovering behind him.

From outside, the "river" formed from that light could clearly be seen flowing slowly through the Azure Dragon's body, with Lu Chen continuously mixing dense ultimate wood into it. Gradually, the dazzling blue-gold began to be covered by an even more sacred azure-gold.

Just as Lu Chen had predicted, this process of covering grew slower and slower as time passed. The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's origin was resisting complete conversion, but under the suppression of the ultimate attribute, its resistance was not particularly obvious.

During this process, Lu Chen's face also grew steadily paler.

Without needing a reminder, Ah Yin swiftly released the origin presence that represented the Blue Silver Emperor within the mental space.

Outside, the Blue Silver Grass that was Ah Yin's true body trembled gently. Tiny golden motes continually drifted from its blades and were swallowed by the Azure Dragon.

That was the most exalted life origin of Blue Silver Grass, and also the final straw that broke the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's resistance.

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was like a loyal minister ready to fight to the death, only to discover that His Majesty had surrendered first. In the end, it could only obey the emperor's command and submit completely to the powerful suppression of ultimate wood. The "river of stars" turned azure-gold even faster than it had at the beginning.

Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone: Since I'm not allowed to resist, I might as well enjoy it...

The women: ?

[Angel: Voluntarily giving away both your Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Just what I'd expect from you.]

[Ah Yin: ＾-＾]

Clearly, now that Ah Yin was out of danger, Qian Renxue had returned to the venomous tongue she reserved especially for her.

But to everyone's surprise, Ah Yin did not wallow in self-pity as she had before, merely replying breezily with a smiling emoticon.

Her fist clenched. Qian Renxue's fist clenched.

Affected by her mood, she, disguised as Xue Qinghe, cast a sinister glare at Xue Beng beside her. That frightening sight made him, who happened to look up just then, feel as though a venomous snake had bitten him hard. He nearly jumped on the spot in fright.

Looking at Prince Xue Xing and Xue Ye, who were still arguing over his own wretched deeds, Xue Beng sadly discovered that even with his uncle and his own father present, he still did not have a damned shred of security!

[Yanzi: So Lu Chen has his first Soul Bone now?]

[Little Princess: And a hundred-thousand-year one at that. Even our... family doesn't have one.]

[...]

High status, an unruly disposition, young, with a father and two grandfathers at home, extremely wealthy... Far away in Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong put Hu Liena through a fierce "tempering," a faint smile touching her lips.

After Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, Liu Erlong, the Zhu Family sisters, and Nana, had she discovered another group member's real identity?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...

It seemed the plan to destroy the Upper Three Sects needed to be revised as well.

While the group members frantically flooded the chat, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone finally finished its complete conversion. Accompanied by the dense presence of ultimate wood, the azure-gold stream of light was spat out by the dragon silhouette, then plunged straight into Lu Chen's right leg.

There was none of the difficulty of the earlier conversion. In practically an instant, the Soul Bone, already deeply branded with Lu Chen's mark inside the dragon silhouette, was fully absorbed.

"Whew~"

Lu Chen let out a long breath. The depleted state he had once again fallen into after pouring out so much ultimate wood had now completely recovered.

Thinking of how he seemed to have spent the whole day bouncing back and forth between depletion and recovery, Lu Chen could not help laughing aloud.

Seeing this, Ah Yin, who had been chatting in the group while keeping an eye on him, immediately sent her voice into his mind:

"Did it work?"

Lu Chen nodded and said:

"Yes. My ultimate wood attribute and vitality have both improved."

"Besides flight, there's also a very special skill."

"With this skill, perhaps it won't be long before you can take human form again."
