Qian Renxue: Chu Ye Isn't Old Enough Yet, Right? Wait! What Am I Thinking?

"Perhaps it's just as the seniors said. People can only unleash their greatest potential when they're under pressure."

Chu Ye glanced at the Sword of Gods and Demons martial soul in his hand.

The Mutated Spirit Ability formed by fusing Battle of Light and Dark Slash, Light Dark Fusion Slash, was indeed far more powerful, but its Soul Power consumption was also much greater.

He withdrew his martial soul and said to Qian Renxue with incomparable seriousness, "Now that Li Yuanba is dead, only the final trial remains before us. As long as we get through this last trial, Xue'er, you won't have to go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace anymore. Trust me. I will definitely make sure you stay."

"I trust you, Chu Ye. We can definitely do it." Qian Renxue clenched her little fists.

After this battle, her heart had been completely captured by Chu Ye.

The two of them faced each other and gazed at one another. Suddenly, a ray of sunlight spilled onto the sides of Chu Ye's and Qian Renxue's faces. The two turned at the same time, shoulder to shoulder, looking at the sun slowly rising ahead.

"Daybreak."

"Mm."

"Chu Ye, now that Li Yuanba is dead, the mission can be considered over. Let's return to the Nuoding City Martial Soul Branch Hall to rest for a day, then go back and report."

"No rush. Wait first." Chu Ye's gaze swept around. After a brief look, he suddenly called out loudly, "I wonder which senior has been secretly protecting us. Now that the mission is over, could senior come out and meet us?"

"This kid." Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head with a smile and appeared openly. Then he respectfully nodded to Qian Renxue. "Young Master."

"So it was Elder Gu Yue. Then I can rest easy." Chu Ye let out a small breath of relief.

"Rest easy? What do you mean? Would there be any difference if it were someone else?" Chrysanthemum Douluo looked puzzled.

Chu Ye said, "Elder Gu Yue, you should have watched the entire battle just now, right?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

"Then you should also have seen Qian Renxue's and my Soul Power suddenly soar, right? I hope Elder Gu Yue can keep this secret for us for the time being," Chu Ye said.

"Hehe, don't worry, Xiao Ye. I'll do my best to help you keep the information hidden." Chrysanthemum Douluo gave an enchanting smile. He already understood what Chu Ye meant.

Wasn't it just because Chu Ye had a good relationship with him and he could cover things up?

"Then thank you, Elder Gu Yue."

In battles between Spirit Masters, information—whether or not one understood the opponent—was actually extremely important. Especially since they would next have to face a Title Douluo-level powerhouse like Yu Long, Chu Ye and Qian Renxue had to hide as much of their strength's information as they could.

Although the proud Title Douluo Snake Lance might not bother to learn about Chu Ye and Qian Renxue at all, someone would always ask the only Chrysanthemum Douluo present how they had killed a Spirit Emperor.

If everyone happened to be together, then the moment they heard it, they would know.

"No need to thank me. I was just about to ask you two as well. How exactly did you do that? Did you cultivate something?"

"Eh, Elder Gu Yue, there's no need for you to pry into that, right? Because we won't tell you." Chu Ye showed his white teeth and smiled.

"Ha, fine then~" Chrysanthemum Douluo spread his hands and stopped asking.

After this battle, Chu Ye and Qian Renxue were both already extremely exhausted. They also had some internal and external injuries to varying degrees, so they decided to go to Nuoding City to recuperate for a day first, then return to Spirit City.

Chrysanthemum Douluo no longer protected them from the shadows and instead followed by their side. Just like that, the three returned to the Nuoding City Martial Soul Branch Hall.

After receiving treatment from a healing-type Spirit Master in the branch hall, Chu Ye pulled Qian Renxue back to the room that had been arranged for them.

"Xue'er, hurry in."

"Wh-what for~"

Chu Ye directly pulled Qian Renxue into the room, then sat down on the bed. Qian Renxue felt a little shy. Why were they getting onto the bed?

Chu Ye wasn't old enough yet, right?

Wait! What am I thinking!

Qian Renxue blushed, not understanding Chu Ye's intention. Only when she saw Chu Ye take out the Spirit Bone that had dropped from Li Yuanba did her expression gradually become serious.

"Xue'er, right now, not many people know I have a Torso Bone. Only you and Elder Gu Yue, who just found out. And my Phoenix Torso Bone actually has another miraculous effect," Chu Ye said.

"What is it?" Qian Renxue looked curious.

The corners of Chu Ye's mouth lifted slightly. "Now I'll tell you. This Undying Bird Spirit Bone can absorb other Spirit Bones to increase the age of the Undying Bird Spirit Bone. It increases by however many years it absorbs."

"Hiss~! That's so amazing!" Qian Renxue was very shocked.

"Yes. Li Yuanba was killed by us together, so this Thousand-Year Right Leg Bone has a share that belongs to you too, Xue'er. But, well, you have the exclusive Angel Inheritance Spirit Bone Set, so you definitely wouldn't care for this kind of thousand-year-level Spirit Bone. That's why I plan to use it for the Undying Bird Spirit Bone to absorb."

The two of them were far too close. There was no longer any need to consider any tug-of-war over benefits, so Chu Ye was not that polite when he spoke.

"Sure. But it still feels so extravagant~"

Qian Renxue definitely supported him. If she had the Phoenix Torso Bone, she would certainly use other Spirit Bones for it to absorb as well. But returning to the Spirit Bone itself—

This was a Thousand-Year Spirit Bone!

Although it definitely could not compare to a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, which was praised as top-grade, it was still a priceless treasure that could be encountered but not sought. If it were casually thrown out, a whole crowd of Spirit Masters would go crazy fighting over it, and it might even spark a slaughter.

Using it to increase the age of another Spirit Bone was indeed very extravagant.

Chu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah! If I want to raise the Undying Bird Spirit Bone to the hundred-thousand-year level, who knows how many Spirit Bones it'll take."

If he wanted to raise it to a million years, that would be an even deeper bottomless pit!

"All right, absorb this Right Leg Bone now. I'll watch over you." Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the bed and said with an adorable expression.

"Okay."

Chu Ye nodded and glanced at the Thousand-Year Right Leg Bone, preparing to absorb it.

In reality, the drop rate of Thousand-Year Spirit Bones was lower than that of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. That was how Spirit Bones were. The lower the age of the Soul Beast, the lower the probability of a Spirit Bone dropping.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would definitely produce a Spirit Bone!

It was said that the drop rate for Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts was only one in a thousand.

Thousand-Year Spirit Bones were even lower. As for Hundred-Year Spirit Bones, there was no point even thinking about whether they could drop. The probability was like winning the lottery.

However, the number of Hundred-Year Soul Beasts hunted was also huge, so some could still appear.

Chu Ye delayed no longer and immediately absorbed this Right Leg Bone. During this process, he had already understood the age of the Right Leg Bone. It was at the five-thousand-year level.

After absorbing it, the Phoenix Torso Bone would be fifty-five thousand years!

After roughly half an hour, when the absorption ended, Chu Ye discovered in delight that after absorbing this five-thousand-year Right Leg Bone, the Phoenix Bone had gained an additional effect: the earth-attribute resistance that came with the Right Leg Bone!

Although it had not added a Spirit Bone skill, it had added a certain unique characteristic of the Spirit Bone!

In that case, whenever the Phoenix Bone absorbed a new Spirit Bone in the future, it could add one characteristic effect of that Spirit Bone.

"Xue'er, let me tell you—"

Chu Ye immediately wanted to share his joy with Qian Renxue, but he suddenly discovered that Qian Renxue had already fallen asleep.
