Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone
Cultivation knew neither sun nor moon!
Five months passed in the blink of an eye!
Li Jin stopped slacking off and cultivated diligently. With the support of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's origin power, he gained one level of Soul Power a month, rising from level 15 to level 20 in five months.
It was time to absorb his second Soul Ring and become a Soul Grandmaster!
Li Jin went to the academic affairs office and formally requested leave from Director Su.
When Director Su heard that Li Jin had already broken through to level 20 Soul Power, his head filled with question marks.
???
It's not that there's something wrong with me.
There's something wrong with you.
"Li Jin, are you sure? Come test your Soul Power!"
Director Su took out a blue crystal ball and had Li Jin place his hand on it. As the blue crystal ball burst with dazzling light, the number 20 popped up.
He sucked in a breath of cold air. Was this even a human? He had to be a monster!
"Li Jin, you're serious?!"
"Is this the talent of someone with Innate Full Soul Power? Since Nuoding Academy was founded, you're the only person to break through to level 20 Soul Power while still enrolled, and the time you took was outrageously short."
"Since your Soul Power has reached a bottleneck, I'll approve your leave. Go and come back soon, and stay safe."
Li Jin agreed with a smile.
"All right, Director Su. Don't worry, Director Su."
Returning to Dorm Seven, Li Jin said goodbye to his friends.
Xiao Wu looked at Li Jin with a strange gaze, carrying a hint of scrutiny, as though she were looking at one of her own kind.
Xiao Wu really couldn't be blamed for letting her thoughts run wild. She also cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and had the support of a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit's origin, yet she simply couldn't match Li Jin's cultivation speed.
"Li Jin, are you... never mind. Take care of yourself, and don't get hurt. If you get hurt, my heart will really ache."
Li Jin reached out and pinched Xiao Wu's delicate nose, his clear voice brimming with confidence.
"I won't get hurt."
"Xiao Wu, this is for you."
Li Jin took out Yu Xiaogang's storage ring and handed it to Xiao Wu.
"I got this storage ring by chance. I've put ten Gold Soul Coins inside for you. I might be away for a little longer this time. These Gold Soul Coins will be enough for your everyday expenses."
Xiao Wu gazed at Li Jin with sparkling eyes. Even when he was going away, Li Jin hadn't forgotten to think of her. She held out her slender, fair left hand.
"Then put it on me yourself. And I'll only ever wear this storage ring you gave me!"
Xiao Wu's tone was firm, as though she were swearing an oath as enduring as the mountains and seas.
Li Jin's expression was as gentle as jade. He gazed deeply at Xiao Wu, the corners of his lips curving upward.
He took her slender, jade-like hand and slipped the ring onto her ring finger.
"Wait for me to come back!"
Their eyes met, and everything passed between them without words.
Li Jin left.
His main objective this time was, of course, his second Soul Ring.
But along the way, there were also some fortuitous opportunities he intended to sweep up and take away.
For instance, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone Tang Hao had hidden in the mountains behind Holy Soul Village...
After leaving Nuoding City, he asked for directions to Holy Soul Village and headed straight there.
But in the end, he didn't enter the village. He circled around it and headed into the mountains behind Holy Soul Village.
Standing at the foot of the mountains, he looked up at the overlapping peaks, lush with greenery. The mountain breeze stirred the hem of his clothes and the tips of his hair, and a gleam flashed through Li Jin's eyes.
"The fact that Tang Hao brought Tang San to settle in Holy Soul Village is enough to prove that the cave where Tang Hao planted the Blue Silver Emperor is definitely not far from Holy Soul Village."
"Only by keeping the Blue Silver Emperor and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone right under his nose would Tang Hao truly feel at ease."
"A hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone is still very appealing to me."
Li Jin didn't deliberately try to find his bearings. He simply followed his instincts, walking wherever he felt like going.
Fortune was on his side. He wouldn't take a single unnecessary step.
As he walked over ground carpeted with dead branches and fallen leaves, every step brought the crunch of twigs and leaves breaking underfoot.
The cries of cicadas and birds rose and fell, with an occasional beast's roar sounding in the distance.
Li Jin continued onward, crossing several mountains and tiring himself out considerably.
At last, his eyes lit up.
The moisture in the air told him there was definitely a river or a waterfall ahead.
Li Jin quickened his pace. The closer he drew, the louder the waterfall's roar became.
Suddenly, the view opened up before him. He stood at the edge of a cliff, and when he looked out, he saw a lush green valley with a waterfall inside.
With every feature matching, Li Jin knew he had found the right place.
"First Soul Skill, Spiritual Detection!"
Li Jin activated Martial Soul Possession, and his first Soul Ring shone.
He released his spiritual power, sending it through the waterfall and confirming that there was a cave behind it.
"First Soul Skill, Spiritual Bestowal!"
As Li Jin bestowed his spiritual power upon the water in the waterfall, it began to seethe. A towering giant formed from flowing water poked its head out of the waterfall.
Li Jin willed it.
The Water Flow Spirit extended a large hand before Li Jin.
Li Jin stepped onto the large hand. It was soft and springy, like stepping onto a waterbed.
The Water Flow Spirit drew back its hand, carrying Li Jin on its palm and delivering him to the cave behind the waterfall.
Li Jin jumped into the cave and dispelled his Spiritual Bestowal without looking back.
With a thunderous crash, the towering water giant reverted to dozens of tons of water and slammed into the lake beneath the waterfall.
Li Jin walked into the cave. It was extremely dark and damp. He really couldn't understand whether Tang Hao was truly stupid or merely pretending, planting the Blue Silver Emperor in a place like this.
A short while later, he reached the end of the cave and saw a small mound of earth in its center. A listless Blue Silver Emperor grew atop it, the golden patterns on its leaves terribly dim, looking exceedingly frail.
He took only one look before withdrawing his gaze.
With Spiritual Detection active, Li Jin surveyed the cave in a full 360 degrees without a single blind spot and immediately found the mechanism inside.
He walked over and pressed it. The stone wall rumbled open, revealing a recess containing a dust-covered refined-iron box.
Li Jin's expression brightened. "It really came to me without the slightest effort!"
He reached out and pulled the refined-iron box free. It was extremely heavy, but fortunately, he had eaten whale rubber, and his arms were not short on strength.
As he opened the box, blue light shone out, accompanied by a rush of vitality that washed over his face, leaving him feeling clearheaded and refreshed.
A right leg bone in exceptionally complete condition, as crystalline and translucent as jade, lay quietly inside the box.
It was none other than the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
With this Soul Bone, Li Jin's physique would undergo a transformation, which could play a crucial role in giving his second Martial Soul its definitive form next.
After all, the key to giving his second Martial Soul its definitive form was attaching a Soul Ring. Whatever Soul Beast's Soul Ring he absorbed, his second Martial Soul would become that Soul Beast.
To absorb a high-age Soul Beast, he couldn't do without a strong physique.
"Please, save me..."
"I feel so awful. I can't hold on much longer..."
Just as Li Jin's attention was entirely focused on the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
A faint cry for help reached his mind through his Spiritual Detection.
This was...
The Blue Silver Emperor!
Li Jin immediately turned to look toward the Blue Silver Emperor!
