SS-Rank White Bone Spirit
The Soul Power seeped into every bone, compressing and reshaping the pillar-thick skeleton inch by inch.
The bone wings were dismantled and integrated into the spine; the rosary shattered and turned into bone dust; the dark golden broken crown was peeled off, revealing the original outline of the skull.
[Soul Power -20]
The second change is the alteration of the skeletal structure. The skeleton of the skeletal giant is in the style of Western fantasy undead... rugged, ferocious, and angular. But the skeleton of the White Bone Spirit should be closer to humanoid, only more slender, paler, and more... "refined" than that of an ordinary person.
Su Mu meticulously adjusted the curvature of each bone, shaving away excess bone spurs, lengthening the spine, and narrowing the pelvis, giving the entire skeleton an almost elegant proportion.

The third stroke involved dealing with the Soul Flames. The eerie green flames were too conspicuous and carried obvious necromancy characteristics. Su Mu changed the color of the flames from eerie green to grayish-white, then suppressed them deep within the bone crevices, allowing only a faint light to emanate from the eye sockets and rib gaps of the skull. From a distance, it looked like a skeleton illuminated by moonlight, quiet, cold, and inconspicuous.
[Soul Power -20]
The fourth stroke refines the details. The finger bones are elongated, each segment sculpted with a subtle curve, giving the hands a powerful yet dexterous appearance. The teeth are trimmed, neither like the fangs of a wild beast nor the smoothness of a human, but rather possess a sharpness that lies between life and death. Several natural cracks are added to the surface of the skull, as if something has burst open from within, extending from the eye sockets to the jaw.

When Su Mu stopped, he had already consumed a full one hundred points of Soul Power.
The Corpse Demon White Bone Spirit before my eyes had completely changed their appearance.
It stood atop White Tiger Ridge, its height compressed to just over two meters, its entire skeleton grayish-white, its surface gleaming with a very faint, moon-like cold light.
The crown on the skull was gone, replaced by several natural cracks extending from the eye sockets to the jaw. Deep within the eye sockets, two grayish-white Soul Flame burned quietly, without warmth or power, like two cold lamps that the wind could not extinguish.
Its fingers are long and sharp, with distinct knuckles and smooth, porcelain-like bone surfaces. Under the moonlight, its spine presents a graceful arc, extending from the back of the neck to the tailbone, with each vertebra shaved extremely thin, layered like fan ribs.
It stood there, quiet, cold, and devoid of any human warmth.
Su Mu opened the panel.

S-level.
Moreover, its attributes are significantly higher than when Little Drill Wind was at SS level.
Su Mu looked at the string of numbers and silently did some calculations in his mind.
The White Bone Spirit is indeed far superior to Mountain-Patrolling Lesser Yaoguai like Little Drill Wind. As an independent tribulation among the Eighty-One Tribulations, the White Bone Spirit in the original work is a true demon king, even if not the strongest, she is still far superior to a minor character like Little Drill Wind.
But this is only S-rank.
The note says "moderate resemblance," meaning that the current White Bone Spirit is only "similar in appearance" and is far from being truly "similar in spirit."
Su Mu thought for a moment and took out the Thousand-Faced Skin from his Soul Space.
Grade D Equipment Card - Costume Category
This is a human skin mask that can be placed over the face of a biometric card. Once worn, it allows users to freely switch between their "original appearance" and "set appearance." The set appearance must be entered before use.
He stared at the card for a few seconds, then looked at the White Bone Spirit.
The White Bone Spirit now has the ability to switch between "skeletal form" and "human form," but the specific appearance of the human form has not yet been determined. Thousand-Faced Skin can fill this gap perfectly.
With a thought, Su Mu flicked Thousand-Faced Skin into the Dungeon Space.
The card transformed into a streak of grayish-white light, landing on the White Bone Spirit's skull and then covering it like a thin membrane. Ripples spread across the bone surface, and the outline of a face emerged from the bone.
He began recording facial features.
First, there was that beautiful young girl.
Su Mu recalled the description in the original work... "Her skin was like ice, concealing her jade-like bones; her collar revealed her soft breasts. Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes like silver stars. Her face was as beautiful as the moon, her nature pure and gentle. Her body was like a swallow hiding in a willow, her voice like a nightingale singing in the forest. The crabapple blossoms were half-opened, shrouded in the morning sun; the peonies were just beginning to bloom, frolicking in the spring sunshine."
The Soul Power was infused into the Thousand-Faced Skin, and the grayish-white membrane began to flow.
A face slowly took shape on the bone.
She had willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a straight and elegant nose, pale red lips, and a soft, rounded jawline. Her skin was as white as snow, with a very faint pink tinge on her cheeks.
Her long, ink-black hair was loosely tied up with a plain wooden hairpin and hung down her shoulders.
A slender, graceful girl from a mountain village.
The process of entering Thousand-Faced Skin took more than ten breaths.
When the face is fully formed, the skeleton of the White Bone Spirit Demon automatically switches to human form.
The grayish-white skeleton was covered by a layer of illusory flesh and blood, and two deep black pupils burned in the eye sockets. The whole person transformed from a cold skeleton into a living, breathing girl with beautiful features.
She wore a plain-colored coarse cloth dress with a blue cloth belt around her waist and clean cloth shoes on her feet. She carried a blue clay pot in her left hand and a green porcelain bottle in her right hand. She stood on the mountain path of White Tiger Ridge, her head slightly tilted, as if waiting for someone.
Su Mu looked at the face and nodded in satisfaction.
Then he looked at the panel.
